Being Ria


I m back to being myself after the low phase that had hit me 3 days back! I guess i was just bored with life and the way things were going. But now i m feeling so much better. For starters i have resumed my work outs at the gym. :) I have planned an awesome getaway with my guy this weekend. What else does one need to get things started!! Also, the audit that was going on from the past 2 weeks will be ending tomorrow so that takes off the pressure on the work front too! It seems like things r really looking up and i can get back to doing all the things that i hadn't been doing for a while. I guess this is what was missing in my life. I would like to thank all the 9 ppl who commented on my previous post and tried to cheer me up. All u guys and gurls mean a lot to me. I really missed my blog and somewhere inside me i knew that i wouldn't be able to stay away from it for too long. Feels really good to be back. So now i would like to end with my favorite quote. Its actually an extract from one of the famous poems of Robert Frost:

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

I feel like i hav hit an all time low in life. I dont find anything interesting, i dont like the way things r goin off late. I don't feel like goin to office....and i hav gone blank, thts why i m not able to think of anything to write. I feel as of something inside me is incomplete. I dunno if its a phase!? and if it is i dunno how long is it gonna last. I want to run away to a place where there is lots of greenery coz i m feelin suffocated here. I want to breathe in life, i want to feel refreshed!! I feel very fatigued and tired, as if i havnt slept for days.....Although i go to bed by 11.30 p.m, i sleep only after 1 a.m. Is something wrong with me.....I dunno, i think i need some time off! Off from everything....For how long, i cant say. I shud b back in a few days....Hopefully!

3. Kashmira (Aneri � coz she is very chirpy and cute)
4. SMM (coz she�s very straight forward and I like such ppl)

Tht wud b, to be happily settled with my hubby in a place where I cud live my life without any fear or apprehensions.


6. Do you believe in seeing the rainbow after the rain?

Yeah I do and may times I hav seen it too! I always believe in the saying that �Every cloud has a silver lining�


7. What are you afraid of losing the most now?

Its not jus abt now, its abt forever. I fear losing the ppl who mean the most to me. I don�t care abt the possessions tht I hav coz they r replaceable.


8. If you win $1 million, what would you do?

I wud donate a portion of it to the needy. With the rest I wud buy a house and other things tht wud make my life with my hubby comfortable. And then I wud invest the rest for the future.


9. If you meet someone that you love, would you confess to him/her?

Hmm not too sure abt it�coz I m not somebody who wud make the first move. But u never know if the connection is too strong then I might jus try hinting. Wudnt say it directly though.

A wannabe techie
A foodie and
A music addict
He he� thts all I knw of u as of now. :)

Well, I hav said tht before too�Hypocrites, selfish and mean ppl who jus don�t care abt anybody, ppl with double standards. I think thts it.

Love.



14. If you have faults, would you want the people around you to point them out to you or would you rather prefer that they keep quiet?

15. Are you a shopaholic?

Wrong question to b asked to a woman. Ofcourse yeah�..I mean if I hav the money then why not!



16. Find a word to describe the person who tagged you

Well, Multi Menon sure has a lot many avatars to show on his blog.



17. If you have a chance, which part of your character you would like to change?

I wud prefer to be less emotional coz at times ppl tend to take undue advantage of it.


18. What�s the last shocking thing you�ve seen or heard?

The blasts tht rocked Delhi on 14th Sep�08. Can't say anything beyond this.


19. What you rather have love but no money or money but no love?

Who wud like to choose jus one of the two. It has to be both. But love definitely takes the precedence over money.


And now I come to the end of this tag and as always I m not tagging anyone. Why force somebody to answer these questions. Anyone game for it jus put a word and lemme know.

The Good and The not so Good!


Today was an interesting day coz i got a chance to skip office. :) No i wasn't on leave.....i had gone to attend a training program on Advanced Excel. Yeah, i had very basic knowledge of excel so when i got the chance to attend this program organized by my company i grabbed it with both hands. Not only did i get to update my excel skills, i also got free by 5.45 p.m which is way too early by normal standards!! :D But the most irritating factor was tht i caught cold and kept sneezing thruout the first half of the day. I was slightly better off in the 2nd half of the day coz thankfully i was carrying medicines with me.

It got even more frustrating when i cudnt talk to my bf for the whole day!! I cudnt talk during the day coz i was in the training. And my bf was busy the whole evening.......so he called me only after 9 p.m and i was obviously fuming hot by then. Anyways, i dont want to crib abt this now. I better go and take some rest.....this stupid cold is makin my head so heavy tht i feel as if somebody has tied weights to it. May b its god's punishment to me coz i skipped office today. :( *Grrrr*

God's Special Child!!


So here i m sitting at home on a Saturday evening and writing this post coz i can't think of anything else to do. I hav been working on all Saturdays from the past one and a half months despite working in an organization which is supposed to hav a 5-day week!! And now with the audit coming up i m expected to tell the auditors tht i hav always had Saturdays off and tht i hav a very healthy work life balance!? WTF!! Coz i know hw stressed hav i been from the past few days. Reaching office before 9.30 a.m and leaving only after 7.30 seems to hav taken a toll on me......i m becoming increasingly irritated these days and the only person to face my ire is my bf. I want to apologize to him for being so rude and impatient. I m really sorry baby. :( I m trying so hard to hav a life other than jus office, office and office....but i fail everytime!! Its been a week since i went to the gym. Hw can i let my hard earned money go to waste jus like tht......i hav paid for a whole yr membership.


I was thinking of meeting up with a friend at Barista sometime back. But at the last moment it started raining so heavily tht v had to drop the plan. And now to make things worse.....i dunno if i will b able to go out tomorrow as well coz i jus saw the news abt the 4 serial blasts tht hit Delhi today evening! Who knows Mumbai may b next on the hitlist. I wish i cud communicate to these stupid terrorists tht hw sick am i of they spoiling the weekends of ppl like me!! Its so disgusting tht at times i feel only two things can happen in India, either u become immune to these blasts happening every now and then or if u r not so lucky u simply die in one of them. I can't stop living my life bcoz of a bunch of idiots trying to create chaos and spread fear amongst ppl. I will certainly go somewhere tomorrow coz i need to refresh my mind....i need to de-stress! I cant go back to office on Monday with a blocked mind. Anyways, enuff of my cribbing. Hope all u guys out there had a better weekend than mine (which i m sure u did) coz as of now i feel like god's special child *sarcastically*

Excellent Divorce Letter



From the husband to the wife

Dear Wife,


I'm writing this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for good. I've been a good man for seven years and I have nothing to show for it. These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and that was the last straw.
Last week, you came home and didn't even notice that I got a new hair cut, cooked your favorite meal, and even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers later that night. You came home, nibbled at your food for two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching all your soaps. You don't tell me that you love me anymore, you don't want sex or anything. Either you're cheating on me or you don't love me. Whichever is the case, I'm gone.

Signed:

Your Ex-Husband

P.S. Don't try to find me. Your sister and I are moving away to West Virginia together. Have a great life!




Reply from the wife to the husband

Dear Ex-Husband,


Nothing has made my day more enjoyable than receiving your letter. It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a 'good man' is a far cry from what you've been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining and griping. It's just too bad it doesn't work.
Yes, I did notice when you got a hair cut last week, and actually the first thing that came to my mind was "You look just like a girl", but my mother raised me not to say anything at all if you can't say anything nice. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have confused me for my SISTER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago.

I turned away from you when you had those new silk boxers on bcoz the price tag was still on them. I prayed that it was just a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning and your silk boxers were $49.99.
After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for $ 20 mn, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Hawaii. But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason I guess. I hope you have the fulfilling life you've always wanted.

My lawyer said with the letter that you wrote, you won't get a dime from me. So take care.


Signed:

Rich as Hell and Freeeeeeeeeeee!

P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this but my sister 'Carla' was born Carl. I hope that's not a problem for you.

Found this very interesting interpretation of Lord Ganesha on the internet, so what better way to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi than to put this up.

Now and Then


This week was good coz we had a holiday right in the middle of the week. It may be psychological but it definitely made the week look shorter! :P I went to see "Rock On!" yesterday. Won't speak much abt it coz Ankur and Buzz hav already spoken a lot. :) Obviously, needless to say i liked the film. And my bf has gone bonkers over the songs. I m not too much of a rock fan, but strangely i ended up likin quite a few songs as well!


My workouts are on track now, the only thing that i need to do is to follow a proper diet. Thats an area i need to work on coz i m a total foodie, and i can't think of dieting. But here i m not talking abt dieting per se....Its more like i need to start eating proper nutritious food. And avoid stuff which i love to hav like chinese food, cheesy pasta, chicken pizza and sweets. :( Some ppl may not b knowing but i dont hav a sweet tooth, i hav a sweet jawline! So the point is my workouts will bear fruits only when i follow a diet without the stuff tht i mentioned above. I know its not difficult but i somehow keep givin in to temptations. And tht ruins the diet completely. I was talking to a girl in the gym today and when i heard her diet i jus felt like goin and jumping off a cliff!!

Anyways i m sure i m gonna make it happen. By this year end i will get back to my earlier fab figure. And i guarantee tht when ppl see the new me their jaws will drop! :P
