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 !!!
