January

So January has been a quite month.

There have been quite a few thoughts started..but somehow haven't been able to frame & complete them.

There's a lot to pen down...but somehow it's happened that when the thoughts are flowing, there is no page around ..& vice versa.

Also, when there is a lot of pent up stuff, rather than pouring it out, the opposite happens & all which has to be thrown out... it goes in & takes up unnecessary place & causes a lot of friction until its pushed in the ignore/let go folder. Pre-occupies the mind so much too, till that happens! :O

Wish I could find it easy enough to flush it all away. Too many experiences, too many observations & a li'l of the way I am, has me this way.

Now that January's ended... am I not looking forward to a better February!!

..If not anything else, it's time to be happy just becoz it IS the month of Love. :)

Hats Off!

There are very few people who get me under they spell within their first introduction. & Am I not under this amazing guy's spell??

Amazing is really not the word here...Agape suits better!!!

Watch it & decide for yourself.





Agree with me?

Resolutions 2010

Every year I make resolutions & every year I try & follow them to quite an extent, except the really fanciful ones that I add only for effect & the good feeling it brings to me.

Good thing is, from the last year, the list is getting more realistic. Age does that to you...makes one stick to serious resolutions only... so that you could be serious about them. [Godd! Do I sound ancient?? :P]
Infact, the carried over resolutions from the past year[s] are the most important ones that need to be addressed.

Every year, I also elatedly tick a check on the resolutions achieved. :))
This years list looks more better achievable.. but have a few carry forwards to attend to first. So, excluding the carried forward ones, these are the resolutions of the new year.
[To Start & Stick to following all the resolutions jotted down.. is the uncounted top resolution!]

1. I shall feed my love for travelling. Shall travel to discover atleast one good place this year.


2. I shall start exercising again. Oh Yes! More for being healthy & feeling fine.


3. I shall try to set a deadline for procrastination. [Yep..you read right. :D Honestly, that helps!]


4. I shall start reading books! That good habit had got lost in a long break.


5. I shall get back to gardening. [How I miss growing my veggies & colours!! :( ]


6. I shall return the missed calls that I get. [Maybe not all....yet most of them. [That is a start!]


7. I will finish the posts that I start....as well, I shall also finish & publish the posts that I start within 3-7 days. [Tough!]


8. I will not be guilty of being vulnerable...just because something does not go my way. Had it gone right, would I ever feel guilty?


9. I will NOT lose any more weight!! [LOL! Don't want to look sick... :P]


10. I will more consciously for the environment & reduce my carbon footprint wherever I can.


11. I have to learn to believe in the word "Trust" again.


12. I have to find peace in whatever I do. [Since I learnt what is more important to me, I can't afford to lose time at useless places/things]
13. I have to get around speaking decent Telugu! [After all, I can Read & Write it!]
14. I have to be more receiving. [Will start accepting gifts.. :P which I would find very difficult earlier.]
15. I have to get back to painting .
16. I shall never stop: trying to be a better person; follow what I believe in, even if the odds are against it; lose hope when things look bleak; leave my good habits. [All these become the sacrificial lambs first thing.]
17. & finally, Will Definitely express to my dearest people, in deeds & words, that they are most loved.

Grounded & achievable right? Let's wish at the end of the year, I gladly tick ALL off!! :) Happy New Year to All.

The Best Song of 2009

Some songs are just excellent. How many ever times one hears it, it never grows out. One such song this year was the one that I have put down here.

I really end up hearing it, everytime. If you know what I mean.

Thought should put it down here as how strong this song stays for me, I'll see as the years go by.

Beautiful!

Festivity

Festivity is in the air! Wherever you go, there's lights, brightness & bedecked ambiance all around.

There's a joy in the air & even if you are the non-noticer types, you can't help to sit back & notice the tinge of excitement in people & things around.

The whole world wears a festooned look at this time of the year.

I too love festivity... who doesn't? :)
It gives a message of joyousness, celebrations & something to look forward to.

The bling & the aura of the climate apart from the usual gaiety, also sometimes makes this thought in me to creep out; -
In earlier days, we used simple lights, candles & bare decor to mark happiness in the air.. & yet we felt it deep within our hearts.

That was evidently visible on our selves. Now even after the replete kind of shouting of the festival time from everywhere, do we really feel it in our hearts? Is it now an occasion for us to let ourselves realise that its time to celebrate? To pause & let the year go by & welcome a new one..so that we don't miss the passing & advent of a new one?

Earlier, simple diyas were enough to bring out the happy sentiment & mood, now even if we light up the city, we don't have that much light in the heart to feel that joy to celebrate...no time to feel the occasion, except spend a bit, do a few typical customary things & make oneself realise that we are supposed to feel joyful.

Is life slowly becoming lifeless?

Somehow, this year's parting has gotten me in that mood. Sometimes all this merrymaking gets to me in this way.

For few many other times, I'm as happy as you to bring in the new year with all the dazzle which outshines any philosophical thoughts as I churned out above!

Wishes for a Very Happy New Year to All! :)
