What do I say?

There are times, when you really don wanna wake up in the morning...n times u felt u never slept....what happens when you're stuck in between??.....I'm going through one of those days.....not one but many, for those who're wondering why I'm sounding depressing when im supposed to be living a dream??....the title's for you

On my mark . . .

Just about a step away from starting my first job here....was busy with all the shifting. Luckily got myself a decent place to stay and an easy 15 min walk to my office.

I see a drastic difference in the lifestyle of people here in Nottingham as against the " I'm busy ", " dont bother me mister" tags written over the foreheads of the people in London. 

Seems like life has changed overnight. 

I can still remember, just a couple of weeks back, I was sulking in bed uncertain about my future and wondering if all this made sense, it definitely does now :)

I have even started cooking officially :) ....after all the fuss, I got my hands dirty!!...and it was not a bad start at all, atleast i didnt blow up the house. . . 

Thankfully my jobless days are over :)...

Made it !!

"When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."


Phew !!....was hanging on to the rope for quite sometime now. .and just when I thought I was gonna lose the strength to hold on anymore. . . :(
*Surprise!!* *Surprise !!*
I got hired in a company in Nottingham.... :)
I'm starting work on the 13th of October, 2008.
Life's never been this crazy, in the last couple of months have gone through a whole wacky range of mood swings....and most of them are ones that I would never wanna see again.
I'm all excited !! to know, how its gonna be working overseas. . . can't wait to start work.

Thanks to all those million prayers my folks, wife and friends did back home :). . guess the Almighty did a "Reply All" on all of 'em :)
Boy!!!! Just the feeling of knowing there are people out there wanting the best things for you is such a fulfilling feeling. . . makes life worthwhile. . . every micro second of it.

Cyber Birthday !!

"Technology has come a looooooong way" is what my dad always says, given hez seen days when electricity was a luxury... and a Computer was a big huge machine used for making simple mathematical calculations...

As the title reads.....My amma had a cyber Bday today.... I was on cam from here and my lovely family online from home and we cut the cake just like one small Happy family :)....I'm so thankful to GOD for the lovely parents I have and a caring n crazily understanding wifey :P

Here are some pics ...

Awesome twosome :)

It was a wonderful experience, one which brings a lotta mixed reactions. Feel very happy that we were all able to celebrate it together....but miss home a lot :( 

funnily though, if I was in India, it probably wouldnt have been this exciting, we'll all remember this day for a long time....

Well....my day was worthwhile today...made my parents really happy and just waiting for my day to come, so that I can tell them something they would really be proud of and jump with joy.....hoping against hope :)

Talking to "You" . . .

How often do we talk to ourselves? 

I've been doing a lot of it off late. . . is it the luxury of time I have?? or Is it because I'm  alone. . and in need of something to reassure myself that I'm doing things the right way? 

In the chaotic world we live in, this is supposed to be a sure sign of mental illness. . . 

Am I CRAZY?

Well, this is what I found:

• The act of talking to ourselves, is actually a sign that we are self-aware and that we seek insight into our own actions. 
  
• Talking to ourselves mentally is actually a hallmark of being human and proof that we are a higher species.
• In a sense, we can measure our degree of psychological confusion by checking out our self-talk.
• It's not whether we do it, it's what we say to ourselves that matters.

Most people talk to themselves quite regularly, even when walking down the street; but, it is primarily done silently so it's not evident to onlookers. Whether or not we talk out loud, or silently, when we talk to ourselves, we are processing our thoughts, solving our problems, or just deciding what we will eat for lunch that day. . . :)

Final Verdict : I'm not C R A Z Y , just trying to make sense of my own actions and make the right choices in life :)
