The Year that Was....

Yeah yeah i know that we haven't stepped into 2010 and here i am making 2009 history already!! :P I have always been a bit forward looking u c ;) Anyways, i am not goin to talk abt what happened in 2009 coz that wud be way too much to talk of in one single post. :D

But yes, this will be something like the highlights of a cricket match. 2009 was an eventful year coz it was full of events obviously! :D Ok, now enuff of pjs....lets talk abt some things that changed my life this year:

1. A few ppl who i came across changed my life for the better!! And i don't want to name them coz i don't want to miss any names. :) And besides the ppl who know me well wud know who they are.


2. Its impossible for me to miss this one, my bf's departure to UK for his MBA. Now this memory has a bittersweet feel to it. Bitter coz we have to stay apart for a whole yr and sweet coz its for our own betterment.


3. This one's related to the second one, you can say its like a corollary. Staying on my own and being happy. I realised that happiness cannot be brought abt by somebody else in your life. Its you who's responsible for your own happiness.


4. This one's for the ppl who are no more....yes they touched my life in their own special way. They made me realise that life is too short to worry/crib/hold grudges. So live it the way u want to coz u have just one life.


5. Last but not the least (yes this is the last one coz i feel i have summed up more or less everything), a couple of movies that left an impact on me. I know it sounds silly, how can one possibly learn from movies!? But i have, and everytime there's a movie that talks sense and has a message to it, i feel we need to learn from it. so here's my list:

• Paa - Loved it for the one and only Amitabh Bachchan. He was awesome in all respects...and he as Auro made me realise that anything is possible.
  
• Avatar - Need i say more....this movie amazed me and made me think of the extent to which a human being can imagine....kudos to you James Cameroon.


• Love Aaj Kal - Although i already know the importance of relationships in life, it made me realise that even if you have the best of everything in life, its incomplete without love.


• 3 Idiots - Yes, i watched it only yesterday and i had to mention this one coz this is one movie nobody shud miss. It has something for everybody, parents, kids, teens, u, me and everyone.
  Note: i hope our education ministers learn something from this movie as well!
  

So this will be the last post from me for this year, and i will see all of u in the year 2010. I will be bringing in the new year with my mom and close friends, we have a party in our bldg by the pool side. Will miss dad :( as he's away in Pune for a seminar till 1st Jan'10. So tell me people what are your plans for the new year eve!? Come on guys get the ball rolling....

It's that Time of the Year!!

In silently falling silvery snow,
Under a magical mistletoe.
In boxes tied up with laces,
Stockings hanging on fire places.
Atop the tree where a li�l star shines,
In bells that greet us,
with their chimes.
In tunes of Carols,
in the laughter of children.
May you find your Christmas
& Joys of the season!

Wish you a
Merry Christmas & a Happy 2010!

Be Like the Grass

Good morning people!! :) What a beautiful day it is, i know its very unusual of me to say something like this on a Monday morning! :P But somehow i am feeling very optimistic today, now don't as me why? Read the extract below and i m sure that this will make u feel good too.

"Have u noticed grass?

Even if somebody steps on it,

It never gets hurt, It never hurts others too.
When a wild storm arrives,

generally, all the big trees get uprooted
But the grass survives.

So, be noble & humble like the grass.
Simple yet strong!"

Bossy Tales

A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears.
The ghost says, "Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each"

So the eager senior manager shouted, "I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries. "Pufffff....and he was gone. Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be In Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Pufffff....and he was also gone.

The boss calmly said, "I want these two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12.35 p.m"

MORAL OF THE STORY IS: "ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSS TO SPEAK FIRST"

Some Wise Ones

The Wanderlust

O rey manva tu to bavra hai, Tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai,

Tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai bavre, Kyun dikhaye sapne tu sote jaagte,
Jo barse sapne boond boond, Nainon ko moond moond,

Jo barse sapne boond boond, Nainon ko moond moond,

Kaise main chaloon, dekh na sakun anjaane raastey....

Gunja sa hai koi iktara iktara, gunja sa hai koi iktara,

Gunja sa hai koi iktara iktara, gunja sa hai koi iktara,

Dheeme bole koi iktara iktara, dheeme bole koi iktara,

Gunja sa hai koi iktara iktara, gunja sa hai koi iktara....

Sun rahi hoon sudh budh khoke koi main kahani,

Poori kahani hai kya kise hai pata,

Main to kisiki hoke yeh bhi na jaani,

Ruth hai ye do pal ki ya rahegi sada....

(kise hai pata...kise hai pata....)

Jo barse sapne boond boond, Nainon ko moond moond,
Jo barse sapne boond boond, Nainon ko moond moond,
Kaise main chaloon, dekh na sakun anjaane raastein....

Gunja sa hai koi iktara iktara, gunja sa hai koi iktara,
Gunja sa hai koi iktara iktara, gunja sa hai koi iktara,
Dheeme bole koi iktara iktara, dheeme bole koi iktara,
Gunja sa hai koi iktara iktara, gunja sa hai koi iktara....

This song so reflects my mood right now....this is one of those few songs which i can listen to at any point of time. I have a long weekend ahead coz i have taken this Friday off. Some interesting things in store for me, will tell you once i m done with it. So all of u have a gr8 weekend!! *blows kisses*

Note: This is a song from the hindi movie "Wake Up Sid"

If Women Controlled the World

The last weekend was one of the best ones that i have had so far!! The reason was the double whammy that we had, it was both my mom and dad's birthday (3rd & 5th Dec respectively). So there were a slew of celebrations lined up! I took the opportunity to show my parents the movie "Paa" which displays the exemplary acting skills of Amitabh Bachchan.

He's just outstanding, and i am sure whoever has seen the movie would agree with me on this one. I am expecting him to get all the awards for the year 2009 coz he deserves it! Ok now i got this really interesting forward which i m sure all the gurls & ladies will like. :) Have a gr8 week all of you lovely people out there. *hugs & kisses*

Food for Thought

Some thoughts to ponder over the weekend. Totally worth it i would say, have a gr8 weekend all you wonderful people out there!! *blows kisses*

Life in a Corporate

Always Remember....

Never be proud nor depressed for

what you are and the position you hold in the society!

Remember, when the game of CHESS is over,

both the KING and the PAWNS go into the same box!

When you get little, you want more.

When you get more, you desire even more,

but when you lose, you realize a little was enough....

I don't know where i am headed to.....but i hope to stay afloat with the help of such messages. Hope u find this message to be as optimistic as i did! Have a gr8 week ahead all of you out there.

Let's Do Our Bit

The debate has started all over again! Are we safe? Is what the govt doing enuff? What has the govt done in this one yr? Why is Kasab, the only terrorist caught alive still living? Is there ever gonna b an end to terrorism? Questions, questions and more questions! But no answers. Where does this end!? I dunno....but all i can think of right now is the pain that we had undergone last yr on this very day (famously termed as the "black day 26/11"). My sincere respect to the people who lost their lives and and may god give courage to all those families who lost their loved ones.

Can we have all stand up and pray to god for some peace out here! Coz thats all we want, don't we!?

The Conversation with God

I told GOD: Let all my friends be healthy and happy forever...

GOD said: But for 4 days only.

I said: Yes, let them be a Spring Day, Summer Day, Autumn Day, and Winter Day.

GOD said: 3 days.

I said: Yes, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

GOD said: No, 2 days!

I said: Yes, a Bright Day (Day time) and Dark Day (Night time).

GOD said: No, just 1 day!

I said: Yes!

GOD asked: Which day?

I said: Every Day in the living years of all my friends!

GOD laughed, and said: All your friends will be healthy and happy Every Day!

This is for all my friends. May god bless you with good health and happiness forever....
