Are you content?
was thinking of what does a person really need to be content in life.. and my thoughts were that this range is really huge - one guy could be content with whatever little he has and on the other hand the upper limit could actually be infinite!
How amany of us can say at all times - ‘I have learned to be content with whatever I have’
Again when I look around - in people I know - there are just a couple of them who really look content - the others as most of us think that they need this and need that and then they will be content which is something that increases in geometric progression.

Enigma
Listening to "Enigma - Back to the rivers of Belief" with the current mood that I am in is enigmatic :-)

Spiritual mood
Penning down some spiritual thoughts of the past 2 days...
When I look around the various human beings around me there are people of all kinds -all think differntly , behave in some way, that at times we understand and at times we just do not understand and claim that they are being unreasonable.
Some people are just liked, some are loved, some are hated and over time we develop some kind of feelings for various people. Now I was thinking about how and why we develop hatred for people. Clearly nobody wants to be hated.. but it yet happens with all of us sometime or the other. Can a person fall into the opposite category - i.e. can there be a peson who is just loved. That has been the main question in my mind.. and I think that yes it is very much possible. If there's someone I know who only emits love and no negative feelings I can never dislike him/her. So isnt' the answer to my question within myself and pretty straightforward - If I don't hate anybody however he is and whatever he does, if I have only positive energy and positive feelings for my surrounds, even a person who hates me would stop hating me.
After writing whatever I wrote above, I realize it's very difficult for me to put the simplest of my thoughts into words. Thinking the same for me has been so
simple :-) But explaining in a few words is what I can't do..
Whatever.. lemme think some more on related things!
P.S: My sweetpie ia back finally! She got me sea shell's and christmas cake from Goa.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everybody! Good news are setting in already with Christmas... one of my favourite blogpals LD is back after a really long break - Please stay now LD!
We had a fun Christmas break at office last evening - just gathered in a conference room - we all decorated it with bells and balloons. We cut cake and the best part we actually had one of the group members dress up as Santa - that came as a surprise to most people. He came and distributed gifts, it was really fun. I couldn't stop laughing. We all could recognize him of course - so it was even more funny! He's one of the youngest team members but he spoke like an old old man, told one of the managers see you next year my child :-)
I think I should go and do some Christmas shopping today and blow some money away!
Meanwhile here are some pics that I've been too lazy to upload.

My drive to office is a short and sweet 4 km 10 mins drive, which today became a 15 km and an hour and a half drive! All because of some unannounced, spontaneous demolition work happening right in front of my work place. Can't we plan such things better - there were hundreds of people stuck there in the jam wanting to get to work on time. And all this on a Monday morning - if I knew I would have at least come on my two wheeler and saved so much of time and money on petrol.
On to brighter things - Weekend party was great and I had a great time. Wonderful hill-top kind of a place, good music, good food/drinks and very good company - what else can one ask for on a saturday evening. For a change I was a free bird in a party - no worry about Ashna's eaten or not, nobody pulling me and saying mummy this and that. Such changes are definitely welcome once in a while.
She's having a lot of fun too - but says didn't like the beach too much. I guess going there everyday would make her like it.. How can anyone not like the beach of all places!
Am off to Mumbai for a 2 day training - Justme are you back from your vacation?

Eventful
So we have this grand office party tomorrow - a new year party actually - but celebrated in advance. I'm sure I'm going to chil out and have loads of fun!
Tomorrow is going to be a real rush-rush day: Ashna and ma leaving for Goa - some packing of her's I gotto do as yet. She's become a VIP these days, It's a 3 year old neighbours birthday tomorrow and just before boarding the bus for Goa in the evening, she will first go for that party.
I'm looking forward to the next 10 days when Ashna will be away and I can catch up with work. All weekends in office and no rush of leaving early. Also some freak-out time with hubby - we will be all by ourselves for a few days after almost 3 years. Should be fun ;)

Overtly sensitive?
Am I overtly sensitive.. there are just silly things that can make me cry
Today a small little yahoo chat got tears in my eyes.
Most stupid Hindi movies have at least one scene when I need to remove my glasses and sob! Raise your voice with me and there I'm gone. I raise my voice or get angry with someone and minutes later I regret it and cry.
If there's one quality of mine that I'd like to change - it is this. I just hate the fact that I cannot control my emotions. As a child, it goes without saying that whenever my dad scolded me the first thing that I did was cry ... he hated it too.. used to tell me can't you just control your tear glands. It's 20 years past the childhood stage and I yet am not able to gain any control over those glands. Will I ever be able to? Glad someone hasn't labelled me cry baby as yet - I think I should do it myself before anyone else does!
I'm in a strong "irritated-with-myself" mood!

I love this poem
Devotion
The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to ocean -
Holding the curve of one position,
Counting an endless repetition.
-Robert Frost

and there are those days
when on record everything is good - nothing really bad has happened - but yet you are upset and not so "high" and you do not know the reason or do not want to even think about it....
