Yesterday night, on a whim, did this.
Didn't get it? Zoom the picture dumbos! Aaaand look at the follower count (and then the following count).. Geddit? Ok now we are on the same page.
And I am rolling on the couch laughing at the trivial things in life we give so much attention to.
Allow me to conclude on that philosophical shitty note-- Life moves on.

Edited to add: The handle @Fhrooti is back!

Oh! It's 2012 already?

Hi,
Happy New Year!

So it's 2012 and the world is supposed to end by this December. Geeee!! This leaves us with exactly 12 months and 5 days to do what all we wish to do. :)

The beginning of the year was a roller coaster ride for my family. There was an emergency and I can't thank God enough that it all went so smoothly. That one moment when I looked into my mom's eyes and said, "You don't have to worry about me. Consider me as the son of the house!" will stay etched in my mind.

What else? I WANT a new job- a cool, well paying and a stress-free job (which has a non-existent boss!! :D). No I don't mean a showroom mannequin when I use those adjectives for a job! But sigh! do jobs like that still exist?

Changed my twitter handle twice today, out of sheer boredom! I know I could have spent my Sunday hitting on some season's sale shopping in the neighborhood mall but considering my present bankrupt status, any sort of shopping will have to wait till the next salary. But nonetheless, bankrupt or whatever I feel proud of the fact that my past few months' savings came in handy when it was needed the most.
So from @fhrooti, the twitter handle oscillated between @SpeckOnEarth and @TheCaseStudy and the latter has stuck for the time being. So follow me there?

And finally! I will finally accept the fact (out in the open) that I AM looking for that 'someone special'. Wherever he is, can he make an appearance fast fast fast? *insert shy smile and rosy blush*

Now what? I don't know why but I've just not been able to finish 'The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand'. I'm on Pg 634 and the dialogoues-that-seem-to-go-forvever between Keating and Toohey is so yawn-inducing. But hey, I did like the book. Have also penned down a review too on some book site. Most of the book was finished in the Metro while travelling to work. But you know how bloody chilly the Delhi winters can get, so reading while travelling has been kept aside for another month.

Okay! Too much khichdi in one post. Will meet again. So hungry man. Have had no lunch today. Need to get into that warm blanket soon. It's a moody working Monday tomorrow..Ciao!

'Coz we end up forcing a smile..

Being optimistic is so difficult, folks! When you are feeling down and out, you cannot force yourself to plaster a smile across the face just because protocol says so!!

That feeling when the heart feels all clogged and thunderstorm-y and the world expects you to be cheerful. What crap? But then emotions were meant to be felt in a certain way, right. That's why there are nine of them. They didn't categorize and define navarasas for kicks!

Trying to be positive and being positive are two different things.
I want to be happy. Everyone does. What is new in that? How to shake off sadness like magic?
Ideas?

1. Inhale nitrous oxide
2. Do laughter yoga
(I have tried none of them)

I am angry all the time. I mean most of the time. I want to shout at the top of my lungs to express anger in a positive way (sad thing, I NEVER get to do that. Not even in my room coz 'what will the parents/neighbors/ tom dick harry think' type thought crops up!) Bah! No outlet for anger. Even if I end up shouting a teeny weeny bit, the world has this amazing ability to point fingers at ME and blame me for my problems! Silly people. Seems like I am the only one who has read this news piece where they claimed bottling up anger can lead to dangerous diseases in the long run.


Thank God I didn't end up becoming an air hostess! Meh.

When YOU happen

When YOU happen,
It will be surreal.
It will be unstated.

When YOU happen,
We won't be shouting from the rooftops.
We won't be proving our worth to each other.

When YOU happen,
We won't be constantly reassuring each other.
We won't be saying it all the time.

When YOU happen,
It will be effortless.
It will be magical..

The fish that climbs trees

"If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." –Albert Einstein.

Read this somewhere. And it has got me thinking. Why? 
'Coz this so applies to my life. Ha Ha! (Yeah, stop grinning. It ain't funny!!)

The fish is trying to jump out of the coffee cup or what?

Now go back to what you were doing before you landed here.

Will I? Will I not?

It's been 6 months here and I haven't quit yet!! Well, that IS an achievement. :)
The last time I sticked around with an organization for 6 months was when I was 19 and  working in that big shot of a hospitality chain. And after that, I've never had the patience to cross that first 6 months window.
Now will I stick around for another 6 months to cover that 1 year window? THAT only time will tell. Ha!
Blame it on my impulsive self, I take decisions on the spur of the moment. All planning goes down the drains, usually. Now I've this picture in my head which shows me shouting at my boss, throwing away papers and stuff, creating a scene in the office and then quitting for once and for all (Trust me, it's not even remotely funny! Though it may be ironically funny!) :|
Let me ask you a question- Event management sounds sexy, right? Now Do I share the same views- Take a guess?
Anyway, I've got work to do. I shouldn't be eating away into the time which requires me to do productive work for the company, right? So here I go. See you around?

P.S.- Do people still read my blog? Drop in a mail and say YES you do. Bye..
