phew...done..this was tougher than i thought... but then iris is rite, that is the interesting thing about tags--- it makes u think - and its an opportunity to surprize yrself!

Yo Reader - u r tagged :)

I am a COMMUNICATOR...my life is about people - talking to people, reaching out to them.... just being there.... my phone is my lifeline....... sometimes it does become a prison (read: office calls!) ... otherwise, its a tool i have chosen to make my life better... I LIKE my friends!

This outburst is a direct result of talking with 1 of my good friends (Shelly) after 6 weeks! i like the fact that we are ourselves, jump from topic to topic... and make loads of sense to each other (only) and have great fun....

i know distances and schedules impact, but i guess when a person is important - u make an extra effort... SHELLY - You are a friend worth that extra effort, going that extra mile!!!!

Did i mention....we are going dancing girl!

Hurting teeth!

The thing is:
when u have so much going on ~ on the physical arena of life - that's when your mind plays up - you feel tired- you are inspired to clean your room and your teeth just hurt!

ahum! the thing about hurting teeth is - your entire focus is on not letting it drive u crazy!

unfortunately, thats precisely what it did to me today...as if it wasnt bad enought to be working on a saturday - with a teeth ache (coz many of 'em are hurting) - my productivity and efficiency has hit a new time low! notto mention i feel like yanking my teeth out - almost makes me wish i had dentures like my granma!

on this teeth crunching eve.....Aloha!

I will update this blog as the NEW and IMPROVED...read: older! and WISER ME!

need friend - wanna study

I: I am thinking of studying further
A: ok! have u thought what u want to do?
I: yeah, I have my course picked out - just dont know about the speacialisation....
A: oh, ok, so if u know what u want to do; then all u need is moral support...

Now, post this conversation with a very supportive (and cute) friend about my worries of persuing anything resembling books - stydying - exams !!!!- I am thinking - no 1 told me this was a support thing too - n that made so much sense... we always find it easier to achieve those personal goals in which we have a friend encouraging us from the sidelines - egging us on - believing that we can do it! so even when in fear and doubt - u call each other - over a telephone call get a shot of courage and get back on the proverbial horse - and manage somehow, perhaps just barely to MEET your goal.

so, if I do decide to persue further stydying in any area - part of my success strategy will be putting my friend support structure in place - before i begin - ensuring my ability to stick to my path even in tremelous times!!!

I dont want to wear my heart on my sleeve!

The thing about love - we girls - r in love with the idea of being in love... isnt that why its soo easy to build castles in the air!
this reminds me of uday chopra's role in Dhoom - just met the girl n already dreams of his marriage n babies!

I had my heart broken - once - I swore to myself I would never again give my heart to any1. but i am still in love with the idea of being in love - my heart is worn on my sleeve...still....silly, silly girl!

my friend's Roka ceremony

I attended 2 functions today. This post is about the second 1 - my friend's Roka ceremony.

She, my friend that is, is a pretty girl - today she has become beautiful (this is not about her oh-so-gorgeous saree or professional make-up!) - its almost as if some inner light (bulb?? tubelight??) has gone on in her - for the 1st time in a very long time - almost in forever - she has looked happy (in the child's artless innocence and joy genre) - almost as if - she can finally see her home! and knows she is about to reach the sweet haven of home and family!

I am glad that she has found her place - I think it is very important for each one of us to find that place or person who is our home!

May God Bless her and all my wandering soulful friends!

;)

n no, I have not been drinking! - hence, the label.
