The Right Thing !

I wonder how wonderful it will be to be able to say and do the right thing all the time :) but it doesn't happen like that and definitely not in my life....Oh how i get to be in the tight corners and utter the wrong thing which people don't want to hear...phew it is tough pleasing people, not that i try very hard :P but but but is there a way you can say or do the right thing most of the time? i am not being too ambitious in trying to find a way of doing it all the time but yeah sometimes would be nice... for both me and the other party :D lol like just this other night i went to a makeover party, yeah trying to look a little better, well didn't work for me :P and i ended up telling the director that her products didn't work "wonders" for me as they advertise and to be honest i was telling the truth but i now realise that she must have felt bad, well good for her :P she still has some feelings left!!! but yeah back to the main point - how and where do people learn to say and do the right thing all the time and if not all the time then some of the time...why can't i get that, where do i learn that? yeah i know silence is golden and all but what do u do when u are obliged to say something and what you want to say is not pretty...Life is short and living it the way you want to has a costly price tag...but as in earlier posts no regrets!!!never-ever....well i think this needs some serious thinking....so lets do that and find out all about "The Right Thing"

Weekends!!!

Weekend's are the best days of the week....hmmmm....i wait for the friday starting monday of the week :-) ...and start making plan for the coming weekend when the current weekend is about to end and believe me with my hubby it does take a lot of planning coz he just wants to spend the whole weekend at home,cozy up on the couch,watch cricket,eat,drink and sleep...that is ideal weekend for him while me being the party animal to an extent want to go out,meet up with friends or have them over or even do something with just the two of us but outside the house!!!! c'mon weekends are meant to be spent outside the house aren't they :-) and now that the weather up here is getting better it gives us one more reason to be outside !!!
what don't you go out on weekends or have fun? or don't you want to do the same thing as me? then lets start!!! what am i doing here writing up...have a great weekend!!!!

Mundane Life....

A shift from "Life is Beautiful" to "Mundane Life" what happened??? I was also wondering when this topic got its title :-) ,that all of a sudden I am thinking about how mundane my life is instead of how beautiful it is....well before you cast me as mentally ill let me explain....I have this beautiful life filled with love but still I am out there trying to find something more!!! what more?well you could ask that but I can not answer coz I don't know :-)

I know this definitely sounds creepy but it is not.....i am looking for a new dimension to my life....but which direction to choose, what is that next level which will satisfy me and my thirst!

Making Friends

Well have we ever thought about not being able to make friends??? I had never thought I could not have single friend around me...but after coming to this new and strange country I realized making good friends takes a lot of effort......its been quite some time that I have lived in this new place and yet have not been successful in making a single friend..though i have 2 desi couples as my neighbor but none of them is interested in mingling even after a lot of effort from my end .....it used to upset me a lot but I have moved on and left them to their own means :) I think they have this inferiority complex when they converse with me ;) he he .....but that aside I have always always had lot of friends and people around me to bond with , to talk to and share life with...but here it might be a land of opportunity but a very lonely land.......and though people from developing nations are still attracted to this country, one needs some personal experience of this warmth lacking,cold,lonely place to start pining for our own people,the warmth of friends,family -our own country India....
What is it about this country that we can't make friends here? The people from our own country India seem to avoid us and ignore when they see us....people who, back in india would be just too happy to hang out with us seem to try to forget about our existence....Why? What makes us so different?
I am yet to find an answer to it....

Life is Beautiful !!!

Life is beautiful yes!!! my life has always been beautiful and my presence makes it more so :-) yes i am a self loving person !!!

Another year of my life is gone,in a way i have grown wiser another year and in another way i have lost some more time and come closer to growing old :-) . Have I ever wondered what makes us celebrate the loss of a year of our lives? The answer is Yes and I have come to the conclusion that people actually ignore the fact and just rejoice by reasoning that they come to the world on their special day,their birthday !!!

Why am I talking so much about birthdays, well that is where we start our journey called Life. Life is a journey towards the final destination "Death" and yet people fear it the most....we are happier with the momentary stops defined by our successes and saddened by our failures but no one is prepared for the finality....
Oh is this getting too dark for a blog post well lets gravitate towards happy words....So my b'day!!! it was a great day...started off with friends calling up at 12 o'clock India time :-) yes my b'day actually lasts 1-1/2 day which is absolutely great....and yes my darling husband makes it extra special...don't believe me?or else want to say "so does everyone's"...well let me explain my sweetheart bakes a cake at home...yes from scratch and even does lovely and tasty icing on it...braves the snow and wind to get us some thai lunch and then indulges me with a shopping spree and a lovely dinner.....now tell me whose husband does that? Well only mine does :-)

SO the birthday this year was great and I look forward to the coming ones even though I know that with every birthday I am loosing another year from my life :-) !!!

My First ever blog post

Well must say that i am a persistent person :) i have wanted to write and have my own blog for quite some time ..no no inspirations just like that...well people who know me (though very few do) would know that most of the times i just do things...i don't even have anything specific to write abt also :)
he he !!!
I was just contemplating on how life changes its course and you suddenly find yourself a completely different person with different surroundings and a different attitude..... just a couple of years back i was a person with carefree,who cares!!!,leave me alone attitude and today my friends and even i myself wonder at who i have become,someone responsible,caring,emotional....and yes this change has come over suddenly its not been gradual as people say changes often are .....
I hope people will agree when i say this change in attitude for me is for better and not for worse :) i still don't care a lot about common people ( my, who gives a damn attitude, is intact) but people for whom i care about,whose opinion matter to me and who unknowingly possess the power to make me happy or make me sad...
everyone says i have always lived my life by my own rules and it feels good :) trust me it does....i never said i have always been right,i have made mistakes,sometimes i learnt and sometimes just ignored the msg from them :) i have hurt people ,made them sad,made them cry but i have also made people happy,have revived their spirits,been with them thru thick n thin.....and now when i look back i feel good abt the way i have lived my life,the way i made my decisions,the way i have always had friends standing by my side.....

I must say i am a lucky person to have so many people with me....thank you everyone for being a part of my life , this eccentric,upside-down roller-coaster like life of mine !!!
