If change is the way then me have got a chance to spend this new year differently....so here I am on new years eve - @ airport :) and in flight and actually me spent new year in 3-4 different time zones :) Ok so I finally visited Heathrow :) UK flying visit @ London Airport. It was fun there walking around the airport and window shopping. The airport glass facade with the look of the airport landing and taking off reminded of my last visit :) to another airport. Me sat next to the glass facade and enjoyed chatting, playing games, and watching the flights. Me still reached new year's eve. :) And guess what saw Snow for the first time. Tempted to go and make snowmen :) Will soon be doing that as well.

G introduced me to this and the best poem, I think....me looking to own the book soon :) It doesn't interest me what you do for a living I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dreams for the adventure of being alive. The Invitation. http://www.oriahmountaindreamer.com/ All are invited to gift me one :)

1. My boots are dirty . 2. And this is no news of  this century. 3. Imitation leather is what it looks like made of . 4. It can't walk and talk? 5. I'd like it do it for me on my behalf . 6. To the Boots: Now you go for a walk while I get over it? 7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relax , tomorrow my plans include waiting for the carpenter :( which has become a story of my life and Sunday, I want to maybe get new shoes :) !

From tonight the Happy Holiday starts....most of the folks of my office left early, few finished their work and left by evening....and me as usual was the last one just because of 1 meeting....I don't know why it happens - but the 9:00PM call on Friday.....weekend and holiday day - 8 PM call :( Anyways its so quiet in here wondering if the office ever stays this quiet :) Happy Holidays to all!!!!

The walking trail in the township is full of bushes and most of them you encounter chameleons or dogs which jump out at the wrong time. I saw this kid walking and he suddenly shrieked as a chameleon jumped to the other bush. His classmates had a hearty laugh while he was all red. I thought I could share some of the embarrassing moments here in my TT :) You get into a dress thats too tight and be unable to get out and you are all alone at home You try a ring and it gets stuck into the finger in the shop Your trouser button suddenly breaks :( and you are entering into the presentation standing at the limelight You sneeze the gooey into your food plate You make an excuse pretending to be sick for not attending a party and the host is standing right in front of you You offer to pay the bill and realize that you don't have any money You walk out properly dressed in well heeled sandals and suddenly trip and fall You open the bottle of cold drinks and accidentally the soda splash...

Today while walking to the office I was stepped on by a Chameleon....nope me didn't step on it believe me I can prove it....ITS claw dug onto my feet and there are bloody marks on my feet - the proof. I had to shout watch where you are going ....Mister....Miss...Mrs....Er.......forget it it can pretend to turn from pink to blue without any rhyme or reason...and jump about all season! Ok then I saw this lady who was so old and seemed fragile and working on the plants was actually talking to herself....she looked miserable and her sight made me miserable too....her children have abandoned her and now she works at this old age just to feed herself....I wondered whether it was her fault her behavior that the children had abandoned her....have become assiduously cold-hearted and so could think that it was her fault. She must have been so engrossed in herself thinking that she is devoting her life to her kids that she wouldn't have noticed when the floor was pushed beneath her...wh...

At times I feel should I be honest....meaning should I write every thought that floats in and around my mind or should I restrict myself. At times while penning my blog I feel I need that anonymity because when I hear people interpreting the entire thing incorrectly :( I feel cheated and the need to preserve misinterpretation. Which I cannot avoid so I try and avoid mostly penning down things when I feel they might be easy to be mis-interpreted. Or at times I have this compelling desire to start another blog and preserve my anonymity wherein I can just talk anything and everything without being judged.  But do you think I would enjoy that....Nah Never....will miss being in the spot light...so what me gonna do....continue to stay in this dilemma of whether to share or not to share or simply write what comes to my mind....forget it....wandering thoughts....let them wander....and let them find their way here too.....:) like this one

Ok folks I have reached (actually passed my mid life) and finally finally I have read M&B. It was also accidentally that I landed onto reading and I didnt realize till I finished the second novel. Well it was an omnibus with 3 novels. :)These days me go to the library and pick up any book that lies on the shelf....the criteria is they have to be light in weight and small in size and paperbacks :) I choose only from Fiction section :) Since my school and then college days me had heard about the M&B and how my classmates would read them....I had no clue why I never read them...anyways now said and done I devoured all 3 stories...nothing much to say all had fairy tale ending, all had protagonist in their mid life crisis time (another coincidence) and with a few incidents I related with them. It was a different experience but all I can say that they are simply page turners. :)

1. No, we will NOT stay for long . 2. Dreams lay cut  at the old kitchen table. 3. I watched the steam rising from the hot cup of coffee (or tea) and thought: though the steam vaporizes but it leaves warmth to the hands holding the cup . 4. Everything is going to be okay. 5. I'll take life with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of sugar . 6. Life is easy to live at least from my point of view. 7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleep a long undisturbed sleep , tomorrow my plans include waiting for the plumber and carpenter :( and Sunday, I want to maybe get grocery !

I recently read this book by Andrew Harvey - One last mirror. One of amazing books...some quotes here which really touched me... There is nothing ordinary about life. We live in a field of great powers, extraordinary choices. Everything depends on what we think is at stake in life.  All my life I have done nothing but defend myself, explain myself, veil myself. I have nothing in my past to comfort me, nothing to feel proud of, no work to look back on with self-respect. I am afraid to look at myself. I shall come back on my own free will. I will never promise anything to you. There must be no promises between us. We do not need them.  Dont you want to love and be loved? Dont you want to find someone you can give yourself to and be received by? One thing that I understood about myself and my life - that I will destroy myself and everyone I love and who loves me If I live. The wicked do not live. They exist in a state of death; what they call life is a series of deaths. ...

Nature's miracles.... December 31 (Blue Moon on New Year's Eve)

Who... Is easy to love? The one who is ready to be loved Do you just wanna smack? Meaning...the lover or the one who doesn't want to love or is there a spider somewhere and I would smack it with the newspaper like Garfield :) Do you trust? I really easily trust when I am not supposed to and I don't trust when I am supposed to :) Do you talk to when you're alone? Of course I keep doing that....sometimes I sound like a rotten old hag and sometimes like a baby babbling away to the unknown and the celestial objects.....don't you dare think I am crazy!!!! What... Dangerous things do you do while driving? I don't drive :( Are you allergic to? people who make loud noises while chewing :( Is Satan's last name? Whatever it is it would hardly change its intrinsic qualities Is the freakiest thing in your house?...Well have to check with visitors to my place I don't find anything freaky in there... When... ...

Some motivations for coming to office and staying there....well I have an option to work from home and have joined a full time work after 2 years of freelancing :( Salary comes without generating an invoice and if you are an employee they pay you for weekends also and paid leaves.... Have to give you notice or compensation before throwing you out Free electricity / water / tea / coffee / local calls Loads of people to socialize Internet that too high speed one Chance to practice pretend-asana (this is a great yoga form by which you have to pretend to be working....needs mastery) Use chat-area for blogging ideas Try looking at the Holiday List and planning for vacations which you are not going to take as your leave wont be approved but just in case... Spend the entire day inside a controlled temperature Shoot a printout and then go and read all printouts that are lying unclaimed there....found an interesting one on home remedies for common cold and shiny hair both by same i...

Yup the cafeteria should be renamed as that....and if you dont drink tea and coffee, please do start for that place is the best place to pick up blogging stuffs. So I have got a small bottle of water which keeps needing refills :) A gal whispering to her friend that how and when she will be able to make it and what route they will take to reach ....blah blah....they go in circles.....start with ok then you pick me up aacha no wait I will come.....ok lets do this but then listen...the bus doesn't go on that route, so then what....finally they go back to the start of the conversation...ok then you pick me up but you will come at 7 till then... :) My water bottle is filled and now me have no motivation to stand in there as I think I know the ending. This gal and guy talking in fact planning how they will both reduce the speed of the work so that their manager would think that if both takes that much time then the work can be done within this time frame only. :) All the best!
