Balancing acts...

Life seems to be full of these balancing acts, na? some of them larger than life and some so tiny that till u pay attention u wont even realise that you're really balancing between two different and mostly contrasting pulls on you. And for what its worth - the resolutions of these contrasting forces is pretty much the sum total of what we as people are all about!!! Some recent ones -

- Boss' priority on a project vs what i think is priority on my own job list!
(Resolution - start the boss' work and hopefully find someone to delegate it to - but keep focus and larger part of my time for my own priority!!)

- Eating with a friend in office vs catching up on networking gossip with another colleague
(Resolution - Keep lunch for friend (longer time spent...) but catch up with colleague over a smoke break - so what if i get exposed to some passive smoke!)

- Play the dutiful daughter to mom or go out and have another fun night with friends (Resolution - Friday night for mom ... but sat afternoon onwards for fun!!)

- Indulging in some good old laziness... or pull ass out of bed for some much needed exercise!!!
(Resolution - easy one this - indulge today, exercise tomorrow!)

- Proactively advise a friend on the errors of her ways .. wait till she comes to her senses and asks for it herself
(Resolution - Drop some hints around her abt how great my counselling skills are and expedite the approach herself mode!!)

Hmmm.. having written these down... its not that tough, is it??

A friend's contribution...

Jindagi ke arth kuch badalte hain is tarah, Jaise samundar ke paas ki rait ki satah, Jab lagta samajh aane lagi hai jindagi, Ek aur lahar aati hai paheli ki tarah, Ab kya karein ham is jindagi se jirah, Mazza aane laga hai humein jeene mein isi tarah...

If Only's...

Isn't everyone's life incomplete without at least a few of these 'If Only's...'? :-) life would be absolutely stupidly boring if we didnt have those moments of reflection where we could go 'if only...' followed with a deep deep heartfelt sigh!! To me having these moments reassure me - tell me that am not just human, but also a person capable of learning from my past... If Only i had not given up easily on the first job offer i got.. just because my family didnt want me to stay away alone... If Only I had persisted and learnt singing the way i wanted to... just because i was too lazy to do the bus trips to mandi house... If only i had learnt swimming early enuf.. i wud have enjoyed australia that much more... If only i hadnt made an ego issue out of a simple fight with a friend... and instead gone back and apologized... If Only the guy i had a huge crush on - reciprocated my feelings... ;-) and so on and so forth... am sure its easy enuf to guess that the lis...
