Well......the last time i wrote anything logical on this blog of mine was in Jan 2006....i feel ashamed of my laziness...or perhaps its the busy life that i lead that makes me dizzy the moment i come back home from work n then the last thing i can do is write a piece on my blog.....neways.....enough of all my lazy excuses....i finalyl got back on my feet n sat down to write something....
but shucks.....where do i start?......n what all should i write?.......so much has happened.....

In brief...im tryin to list out the good things that has happened.......
1. Got my profile up on Orkut(yeah.........now i know where all my extra time was spent :-))
2. I got to know a whole bunch of new people with the Spandana group....(more about it in the posts to come)
3. Moved into a new building in office......(but the crowd here is equally disappointing :op)

1. It should certainly be my laziness.......
2. Haven't excercised for quite sometime now.....n feel like a bean bag....
3. Purchased a pair of coolers for 800 bucks n broke it in a week......

Into the New Year

Started the year with a lot of travel......cruised to Lakshdweep late december of last
year....then, was in Ooty, to welcome the New Year....n then flying to
Singapore....with folks for another vacation........n wish to see much more this
year......
I just pause for a minute and look back at the journey I have done within myself......I
still recollect the days that I spent cribbing about my last job at one of the leading
Call center in Bangalore.....work wasn't interesting, the working hours was unusually
sad and above all, I wasn't doing what I really wanted to do......think about
myself.....The new job has certainly brought a lot of pride to my parents, which was the best
thing that I could ever do for them.....and it even gave me a lot of time to think
about myself.....what I want to do n where I want to go .......and therez one thing
that has never happened to me .....
yup, its love.....
Have had my share of crushes, heartbreaks n depression, but the one thing that is true
is " Never go in search of love....let love find you....and thats why its called Falling
in Love...you dont know how....but you just fall "..........
Hope all of you have a wonderful year ahead..........

Is it me or my writing...?

So much to write but too Lazy to type it all…..well here goes…
The last few weeks have been terribly eventful ….
The first week of December went by doing street plays for Visions….1st was World AIDS day…so did close to 8 plays in Garment factories and then caught up with Dr.Ramana Rao (Radio City Karmayogi fame) on the 4th……He has an estate a few Kms off Tumkur road….n he treats nearly 800 patients a day on weekends…n everything is free of cost…..He qualification is paramount…his Degrees seem to comprise of all the alphabets in the English language……but he still has his feet firm on the ground…..such an inspiration……we did a few plays there too…
Then went on to do a play on MG road for Bangalore Habba…..
Well…..made a couple of new friends this month…and am glad I met them in my life…..
Sorry for making this post so boring…..but not in a mood to write…..so kindly adjust ! !

Being in twenties-something

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure.

You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you're doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that every one reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

We call it the "Quarter-life Crisis"
