This is Life!

Ashna's Christmas vacation has started and now she's completely in a holiday mood - refusing to get ready early in the morning etc. This morning I had to tell her Ashna I have a 9:30 meeting - so u better get ready quickly before I leave. To which she says - mama I forgot to tell you - your boss had called to say the meeting and office work would start at 5:00 PM today! That was a wonderful early morning joke today!

Things are getting so bad that trying to stay happy in all this is getting more and more difficult. I think I've said this so many times now -- ever felt like that piece of the puzzle who's kept in the wrong place but is asked to pretend that it's the correct place!

It was Sanjay's birthday yesterday and he is picking up Lt Col. ranks tomorrow. Unfortunately no one from the family is with him physically - but we will make up for it all when he comes on vacation next month. Till then heres'a blog wish for you my dear brother - for whenever you read it - Congratulations on the success and may many more such promotions come your way - and i'm sure you know how proud I feel of your successes. And yes congratulations on getting older by another year too bhai saab :-)

blogging isn't that useless after all ;-)

So while we are almost at the end of 2005 - is it just another year gone by - or was it a remarkable year - tell me ....

My answer: It was the most remarkable year - the one of the kind that makes you say.... not in my wildest dreams did I think it would be so good! And I hope I end up saying this every year - LOL!

No this isn't the last post of this year - even though it sounds so - I plan to make up for the hibernation.

yes have been away from blogging - for no specific reason except the cliched one - i got really busy. And this afternoon as I write this text in notepad with the network and a lot of other things being down - i wonder if blogging is of any use at all!
I do a lot of useless things knowingly and blogging is becoming one of those for me these days. And before anyone reads this further - a warning: the text below is utter nonsensical battering and is best ignored. Please don't ask me why I am putting it up when I already know this!

The good bad and the ugly...
I am so busy taking care of a lot of the ugly and the bad and donno why the good decides to be not so good in such times adding further to some woes. So in short there is nothing you can take for granted!

Some Why's..
Also what makes us think that just because the whole world is doing something stupid - it's ok to do it! Why do most people first look at what others are doing and then give explanations and compromise on themselves? Where are the breed of people who strive to improve continuously? Why is excepting something very basic becoming too much to expect these days? This generation is a spoilt lot of people and I don't feel I belong or want to belong here!

Of knowing a person well....
Funnily enough at a lot of people will come and tell you that you are an open book and they understand you so so so very well! Tell you what it's usually all BS :-)

Anyone who does a lot of self-analysis would typically know themselves well and are usually not so simple to understand - Only you know it - noone else knows even half the truth about you! It's all some perceptions here and there - and all one could do is respect those perceptions, since there's some reason for those afterall. But it's a fun exercise to know what the other person thinks of you - provided he gives a frank opinion and not just praises you.
This very clearly reminds me of a poem someone told me some time back

We dance round in a ring and suppose,
But the Secret sits in the middle and knows.

-- Robert Frost

ok enough of useless banter.. let me get back to the network that's up now and thanks for bearing with me if you have read so far.

Going back into my shell!
