Promises...

Resolutions
Oaths
Kasamein
Vaadein

Call them what you please... for me its about thinking about our ideals and trying to set reminders for ourselves lest we stray from the path of seeking them! and new year is just another one of those milestones which makes it easy for everyone to see where they are as compared to where they want to be... so i dont have anything against anyone setting the new year resolutions!! :-) in fact i do it myself too... and yes weight loss is very much the first one on the list!! ALWAYS!!! ;-)

Anyways... have been meaning to put some more down here - so that can visit them later and see where i've reached... or maybe even when exactly i let go of them!!;-)

so here goes -

1. Loose 5 kgs... be fitter.. more active physically... more stamina... etc etc... in the general 'take care of body' genre! seeing ma with her bad knees is really driving home the need to do something!! so.. wont just join aerobics... but hopefully will do some real dancing too... more often..

2. Smile more often... i already do a lot of this... but there's scope for improvement here!! and i do believe in the 'you are as you do' philosophy!! so smiling makes me FEEL happier!! ;-)

3. Be less focused on what others can think... i find myself sometimes staying quiet, doing things i dont want to do, not doing things i want to do - just becoz am worried abt what someone else will think abt it. i know its not wrong to be worried abt this - after all am not talking abt strangers' opinion - these are people i care abt. so its liable for me to worry abt their likes and dislikes.. but i think i let it overwhelm me sometimes. thats what i shall aim to reduce!!!

4. Focus - on my work... am entering a new domain and there are far too many things to prove. but not to anyone else - tho of course thats on the anvil too... but firstly to myself.

phew... thats a lot... agar june end tak inmein se ek bhi fulfill ho jaaye - i'll b more than happy!!!

considering they are all open-ended anyways..(except the weight one)... i think am safe!!!

;-)

- Buy a house
- Settle into my new role ASAP and do well in it
- Not take nonsense from people, but doing so without losing [do learn how to spell this word!! :-)]my cool
- Continue with my world travels, and conquer Switzerland and Australia!!

Reading is what saved me…

  Its funny to say or hear this but its true. In my life, books happened very early on in life and I got totally hooked to the escape they offered. Given our financial constraints growing up, books were a cheap way to get those kicks in life. A nearby renting library with an endless supply of M&Bs and Georgette Heyer’s and other similar ‘fluffy’ fiction – made it all super easy. I devoured books from the school library, shamelessly borrowed (and returned) books from friends and neighbors and never shied away from being seen with a book at the every juncture. Its truly a wonder that i didn' t get glasses at that stage in life! Books saved me from the stress that financial constraints bring to a child’s mind. Books saved me from the boredom that brings on negative thinking. Books told me that having and expressing emotions were totally fine – I could shed copious tears while reading without any fear of judgement. I could laugh out loud at a smart and sassy scene. Instead they...

F$#@ Buddies

When I first heard this term – in all my naivety (yes it DOES apply to me at times!!) – I really thought it means its someone who’s a buddy and you also f@#$ them… seemed to make little sense to me at that time – simply because I thought that’s what I define as my perfect formula for a life partner!! Why coin a whole new term for something as basic as say a soul mate etc… Only later did I finally grow up to realize that there’s a whole new world out there in which terms like this make so much sense… and its not what I thought… Its someone who u f@#$ and can be sure to keep it a secret like a buddy!!! Or it’s a buddy - who when u’re down and out, you can ask for a f@#$ if you really need it!! Now why did this come to mind now… well simply becoz in a recent episode of ‘sex and the city’ – the girls are discussing this! And I was wondering about this kind of relationships – if they can be called that. Especially so in our culture here - where most people in my circle at least (or so i wud...

Starting Over...

In life, beginings and ends form such a crucial part of living - never have i realised it more than in the last month or so. Both personally and professionally - too many things are ending and too many new ones are beginning. Its very easy to get nostalgic about whats ended - easier still to forget that it was us who wanted that stage to end ourselves. All because somewhere or the other in our heart - we're scared of the next stage... scared of not being sure... maybe of not having the comfort of belonging - like how we did earlier. Leaving aside the personal changes - professionally, after working for 14 years non-stop, i quit. To the world - i've taken a 'break'. No plans, No hidden cards (yes i got told that by quite a few), No waiting-by-the-side offers... just needed to not feel fatigued in life and figured that it IS after all, MY OWN LIFE... so i can do what feels right to me... without guilt, or feeling irresponsible, or even just guilt of being lazy!! Its my go...
