passing time and ramblings!!

Not feeling like working..may be its friday..may be its just one of those phases...
To add on to that, system is also not working.. :
nothing much happening around here.....at pune yes...but here, I am untouched by all those heated arguments bout menu, choices to be made for cards, invitaions to be sent to relatives..I am away from all this chaos..
may be i am missing much of action .
not done with shopping as yet..dont think it will get over till the last day!! at this rate i might start hating shopping...as it is, i do not enjoy shopping very much..

some clarity has been achieved on the job front..atleast for next few months and by few I mean very few months..lots of travelling in pipeline.

some times i wonder, am I marrying too early???hope every thing works out fine.. TBH is sweet..a darling!! but we both are headstrong meaning arguments and counter arguments at drop of hat!!phew!!!!!

Realstic??

You Are A Realistic Romantic

It's easy for you to get swept away by romance... But you've done a pretty good job keeping perspective. You're still taken in by love poems and sunsets You just don't fall for every dreamy pick up line!

Are You Romantic or Realistic?

You Can Hang With the Guys and the Girls

You've struck a good balance between girlie and laid back. You can keep it casual but when you dress up, you are as girly as the next girl.

How Girlie Are You?

Utilising my time in Office...experimenting with new formats..have done quite a few changes in the look of the blog...have added links, lists etc..

Vikram Seth - I

I love Vikram Seth's works..can't claim I have read all of them though. title is in anticipation that I will write more on him..:)


All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right,
And emptiness above.

Know that you aren't alone
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all their years.

Vikram Seth

What's happening

I had created this blog to write down random things coming to mind, to vent my frustraions and to file my joys...this does not seem to be happening..I am using this space as a store house to file lines I like, stanzas I luv... may be cause not much has been happenign in my life or mite be cause I am so overwhelmed with present, I can't seem to get words.. dont know..

hope the original motive does not get lost in this filing and stowing away... Amen!!

I had read somewhere that whenever you feel happy or blessed, write it on a piece of paper and keep it in a jar..when you feel low, just take out pieces of paper from the jar and you will feel uplifted... wish this space becomes the jar..:)

Time In a Bottle

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day
Like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you" *

* Jim Croce 'Time in a Bottle'

Glad that I found "YOU"
