Resolutions

It is very common that people come up with new year resolution/s and like I said before I was interested in knowing them.

Here is what I heard:

1. The women in particular care to shed those extra pounds and in some exceptions people without the extra pounds also desire to turn size zero (Is there a minus 1,2,3...n). Its a Girl thing and who would not want to flaunt the chick look?

2. Most of the men want to quit smoking and hit the gym more often.

3. Some want to give up coffee/tea.

4. A few desire for long hair and chose not to cut it for a year while some want to try curling/straightening.

5. A bunch of them want to become early risers and go for a morning walk or jog.

6. Some have made their travel plans to their favorite destinations while some want to spend more time at home.

7. There are people who look forward to confess their love while some want to move on with their lives.

8. Some of them are interested in joining classes like dancing, music, swimming, cooking etc.

9. Few want to become Organized.

10. Taking medicines as per the schedule is also on someone's list.

11. Some desire to buy a 2/4 wheeler.

12. A friend wishes to stay single while some want to get married.

13. Early to bed.

14. Savings/Investments.

15. Reduce drinking.

16. Take stairs instead of elevator.

17. Drink at least 2 litres of water a day.

18. Quit unnecessary shopping.

19. Clear unused clothes from wardrobe.

20. Start dieting.

21. Reduce Anger.

22. Read newspaper every day.

23. Cut down on junk food.

24. Clear loan/CC payment.

25. Not to take any resolution.

Would you like to share yours if any?

Happy new year!

Happy new year you guys! Gong xi Fa Cai!!!

I am back yet again after a BIG gap and I know this wish is quite late. This doesn't really mean that I was very busy but I would answer it with a partial yes and no. The past few months were filled with some exciting and disappointing moments. I'll share some of the wonderful experiences and things on top of my head.

By the way, out of curiosity I kept asking people if they have any new year resolution/s however I was reluctant to come up with a checklist because of my previous track records of breaking them in the shortest span of time and say "Resolutions are meant to be broken". Jokes apart, it was interesting to hear a lot of different things that people wanted to do. I'll talk about this in detail in my next post.


I wish you all good health, happiness and prosperity in 2012!

Deja vu!

He looked deep into her eyes and actually said those words that she had been waiting for so long.

"You are very beautiful...I love you and I miss you so much"

The other words seem to have faded away and she definitely wished there was a pause button because she did not want to let go of that moment.

The moment was real and he was just beside her but then it was to narrate a scenario in which he tried to suggest his dear friend to use these dialogues to sort out the simple issue he had with his wife.

R.I.P Steve Jobs

The gutsy silicon valley entrepreneur had been my source of inspiration and will be forever.

Damn the Pancreatic cancer and damn the field of medicine that could not save this man from the jaws of death. He'll truly continue to remain a legend, visionary and the sole inspiration for many.

Its my natural tendency to associate the human characteristics with someone who lives by that and this masterpiece helped me understand the inner meaning of words like "Charisma", "fearless", "Gutsy", "Confidence", "Innovator" etc...

"Love you Steve... You'll remain in our hearts forever".

"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me".

A life well lived and a Job well Done, Steve!

Confuso!

If there is a term that can be used for someone who tries to analyse the probability of an event/occurrence/response/reaction then it would truly apply to me because that's something that I have been doing very religiously for over a year now and the interesting part is I am still clueless and haven't deciphered anything that I have been trying to and has left me wondering.

Sounds confusing, isn't it?

An optimist would copy Plato's thoughts saying "Wonder is the feeling of the philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder". Well, am not sure if I am heading towards it but there are possibilities which may or may not drift me away.

Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious...”

Some portion of my brain and its partner who is linked by neurons, oh wait! no, a larger portion of it is going through a trauma of uncertainty and unlikelihood of unexpected instances to happen and it seems to be taking a toll on me and in fact is driving me nuts and at times repents for abandoning the science world of psychology which might have fetched some closer solution. Why am I talking nonsensical when I know it ain't a mystery as it appears to be. It could be because of the intensity of the signal strength from the source to the destination and the pattern it follows from time to time. The interesting factor is that there cant be an inference derived upon the analysis made as the pattern doesn't really follow a pattern and the result is "no trending".

So, in the process of my analysis I figured out one thing and it makes me feel good. The key finding is that I never hated Physics and Biology (as I had assumed earlier) but Computers!!!

You sang to me? Really?

We all know that music can be a great stress-buster especially when its soothing and it eventually keeps playing on 'repeat'. At the moment am finding it hard to let go off this decade old song and switch on to the next one in my playlist.

Its undoubtedly the perfect blend of Marc Anthony's magical voice, the beautiful lyrics and the background score.

You sang to me!

Oh
I just wanted you to comfort me
When I called you late last night you see
I was fallin' into love
Yes, I was crashin' into love
Oh of all the words you sang to me
About life, the truth and being free, yeah
You sang to me, oh how you sang to me

Girl, I live off how you make me feel
So I question all this being real
'Cause I'm not afraid to love
For the first time I'm not afraid of love

Oh, this day seems made for you and me
And you showed me what life needs to be
Yeah, you sang to me, oh you sang to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me

Just to think you live inside of me
I had no idea how this could be
Now I'm crazy for your love
Can't believe I'm crazy for your love
The words you said you sang to me
And you showed me where I wanna be
Yeah you sang to me, oh you sang to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it



...and...the addiction continues!!!

To top it all, here is something that flashed into my mind for seconds.

Deep in my thoughts
as I hear the most romantic music
I only wished you were here to look into my eyes and hold me close

I wished it was you and the moment was true :P
