Random Thoughts ...

Was wondering about my achievements and failures in life..

All that came to my mind spontaneously

Achievements :

My campus placement

My O grade in College

My Chennai Trip..2 months

My transformation..

My ..

Come to think of it..I could hardly put down any..

And then I started thinking what is an achievement after all?

I mean yes getting a campus placement?

Almost everyone gets it?

But for me that WAS an achievement, after all I gave 10 interviews ;)

I was never the lucky kinds getting placed on day 1..I had my day 1, day 2, day 3......

hahhaha ya wont completely put it on luck.. ;) I am the slow kinds..

But that was a big high..coz I ended up getting one of the best deals at campus :)

Then my O grade..see that's an achievement coz in our gang of good for nothings..it was a big deal..

I mean we all were fairly good always..but by fluke I got an O once and man..that felt really good..

It actually does when with min efforts and min expectations u get the most unexpected beautiful things :)

I still call it a fluke..

My Chennai trip..now that was really an achievement..I mean yes people to go and stay alone at the most weird places on earth..

And I also had travelled a lot earlier..but Chennai was Chennai..

And it was out of choice that I went there, My adventurous streak..

But I had fun, and I learnt a lot, and I made some of the most amazing friends there :)

So are these all the achievements in my life?

Or is marrying a wonderful friend an achievement? ;)

Or is falling and rising in love an achievement?

Making the best of friends, meeting new people, seeing new places, continuously taking up exciting things..

These are all??

So many people have everything defined in their lives, like this is the moment of my life, this is the disaster...and so on.

I can never do that because every moment has its beauty, pain..basically something called life in it :)

So..

I don't know I have never thought about achievements and failures seriously.

I have failed a couple of times..but I never lost..

Never lost hope, never gave up..

So I really don't call them failures..they were just disappointments :)

And achievements are like good days..they will keep piling in an invisible corner of my brain..and may be when I am 60 and I ask myself..I will write an essay on them :)

May be..

Saw Pursuit of Happyness yesterday..

Pursuit of Happyness is never ending :)

Live life Queensize

So random thoughts will continue ...

What to do?

This is what i tellmyself:
If you feel depressed,
sing.If you feel sad,
laugh. If you feel ill,
double your labour.If
you feel fear, plunge
ahead.If you feel inferior, wear new
garments.If you feel uncertain, raise your
voice. If you feel poverty,
think of wealth to come.
If you feel incompetent,
think of past success.
If you feel insignificant,
remember your goals.
Today be the master
of your emotions.
.....Og Mandino (The Times of India-Sacred space)

The lines in bold are for me specially...
Dont know hy, but I feel good reading this :)
I am not and I will never be incompetent :)

2 6 tomorrow

Twenty-six...

I will be tomorrow.

My birthdays have always been special.

I am the kiddo types who would go around announcing at least a week before..hey its my b-day.

I haven't changed a bit.

Did that again, met a few friends online..reminded them lest they forget :)

I believe this keeps me young, alright I am not that old..

26...hmm...oh.. I mean I am not even 30 :)

Optimism anyone ? ;)

But really there are always some small childish traits that keep us young.

As young as a 16 yr old..

On the same note I love gifts..surprise gifts :)

They really make me happy ..

During college days(Engg) we had this unwritten rule in our group.

For every b'day all of us contribute 50 bucks(obviously u spare the b'day girl )

Yeah this group was a ll girl group.So from the money collected the b'day girl had an option to ask fr sum gift that she wanted or get a surprise gift.

I was the one who never ever asked for things, not that I didn't want anything but rather coz I loved surprises.

And I love them till this day.

Its so much fun when u get something that u were dying for or when there is a completely unexpected gift.

Birthdays with this group was a blast always.

My birthday was always special, coz it would signal a long break in the b'day season, the next being in Jun..

The cake cutting at 12, the party after that..and of course the "treat" :)

For kids who had just stepped out of home, who were turning into beautiful ladies ..these treats were the best part of b'days.

All the beautiful ladies decked up in one of those not so expensive yet not so college canteen type restaurants :)

Those days were magical..

So as I turn 26, I resolve to look ahead,not get nostalgic every now and then...

and enjoy a fresh new phase of life..a new beginning..

Something from "You are here-Meenaksi Reddy Madhavan"

We need to move, to grow, and if we're lucky and the people we love are moving and growing too, at some point in the future we'll find ourselves right back at the start.

I liked the book...these lines especially :)

So dear 26 lets move :)

Life begins here???

Does life begin here???

All right the title is dhapooofyied from pravs-world.

Pls dont ask what dhapoofyied means :) for all Puneris, Mumbaiets..Dhapna is ask common as yaar..

Bad simily, metaphor..whatever :) Grammar weak ahe maza..

So a typical day in life of a newly married house-wife.

So does life begin here??

Yes a new life does..with all the hiccups,uncertainities,small achievments,small moments of treasure, alot of love and happines..

Its a new world!!

so a new note :

Priceless Things (http://www.pravsworld.com/new/iwords_priceless_things.htm)


Life holds so many priceless things.

The falling rain, the wind that sings.

Each star on a high, a big full moon.

And sunbeams dancing in your room.

The river as it rushes on.

A sunset when day is gone.

No wealth can buy a mountain tall.

These priceless things belong to all.

An autumn tree lends beauty rare.

With leaves piled deep most everywhere.

As nature wears a glowing smile.

To make each day a day worthwhile.

Could anything be quite as dear?

As laughing children that we hear?

The gift of friendship that is ours?

The miracle of growing flowers?

Each magic moment, treasured time These priceless gifts are Yours and mine.

I treasure these days in the life of newly married house-wife ME :)
