I have tonnes of work to do today and there is no water in the building and I have forgotten to keep some water handy in the bucket. So I really don't know what to do next; in sheer frustration I decide to write the blog.Thats what blogs are for I guess...!You send your worries out to the entire world and feel lighter as if the whole universe understands the way you feel.


I am now reading a fab book and I cant help but take it everywhere I go.
Its Collected stories of Guy De Maupassant. I am completely obsessed with it. Sometimes I wonder what was going on in his mind when he wrote them.

For the first time ever in my life so far, I said NO to something I really liked in Fabindia, that too there was so much pressure from hubby to buy that because it did look nice! He was so amazed and shocked when I told him I am saturated with shopping. I dont want things anymore, I have outgrown my shopping habits of buying new things to wear.

He looked so disappointed and looked at me as if I had really lost my marbles and he has to look for them somehow. But he did have to look for them, I went the next day for shopping to give company to ma in law and just like that bought myself gold jewellery; 22 C GOLD JEWELLERY; not only a necklace but a fab dangling earring( which is by the way made to order)which was just 40,000 rupees more than the Fab India Kurti...!!

I bought it; immediately after I wanted kill myself by wearing the necklace around my throat so tight that I choke, because contrary to the fact that I was saturated, now I like to shop for solid pricey things. I am guessing it has something to do with age...and the fact that I am over the years where I was happy with buying knick knacks from commercial street and be so thrilled about it. Should I be happy or sad? I am sure A wants his old girl back:)

Well, just felt like getting back to this. There is no special reason; just as I stopped writing earlier; ditto.

We have come back to India and it has been really good times; there was too much of things-to-do after we came back..finally settling in, finally feels like home again.

We were used to the mechanics of Tokyo, comfortable lifestyle where everything works just the way it should. It was difficult for a few days to understand why this and why that in India. But now its cool...it couldnt be cooler!

I am travelling so much across India and I am experiencing change in business and lifestyle sense in various cities.Civic sense however needs to get better but I have also understood that its difficult. The other day when I was traveling to Chennai in the train, I got some coffee for myself. After finishing the coffee, I looked around for a bin to throw the paper cup; well there was none. So I patiently waited;few people were throwing away the same through the window and I have them a digusted look ofcourse. The Train stopped at Cheenai Central and I had luggage to carry,and I had a coffee cup in one hand and my hand bag in the other. And guess what! I had to throw the cup outside because there was so much rush and I had to pull my luggage out.

So there goes my effort to do a little bit to better civic sense. But I shall keep trying!

Happy Independence Day!!

This day is very special for me as from childhood, my Dad has made sure that we treat this as a special day in his own special ways.

We get up early in the morning like its a festival and wear new clothes and everything has to be set the night before so taht my Ma is all set to hoist the flag without a hitch. My neighbours and even the local doodhwala and Mali join us where we salute the flag and sing Jana Gana Mana.. We are little short of a full fledged parade... LOL!!

Then every body gets sweet packets carefully made my Ma and me and my brother wait to grab that. I remember the day when our home was lit up in the night as it was 50 years of Independence and peopel who know my Dad asked him if it wasnt too early for him to get his daughter married!!!

I did it year after year, so when I started for office today, I felt something missing.. So I had to stand in the Balcony and sing Jana gana Mana. I was so relieved after that. When I did it before, A used to be so amused, but now I think he is giving in to this patriotism. He promptly got up in an attention position but didnt sing the anthem as he didnt have his bath.....!!!! hahahah!! I had a good laugh about it!

My heart goes out to Indra Nooyi today cos she is making us proud and she is one person who never hesitates to show her Indian roots wherever she goes...!! Hats off Ms.Nooyi, We are so proud of you.

As a Independence day bonanza, please see the transcript from Indra Nooyis lecture at the Tuck School of Business:

(1) change before you're forced to
(2) focus on your strengths (as PepsiCo did when removing the restaurant business and increasing their food and beverage offerings)
(3) set clear financial criteria and don't let the emotion of the deal obstruct reason (this philosophy allowed PepsiCo to wait patiently while Coca-Cola bid higher for Quaker; ultimately PepsiCo bought Quaker at their original offering price)
(4) pray a lot, but plan more (Nooyi described how she planned 400 separate integration projects after the Quaker merger)
(5) numbers matter, but you live and die by people (PepsiCo supports employees with strong communication and work-life balance policies).

She had a final piece of advice for students: "Acknowledge what you don't know. If you're lost, stop and ask for directions."

Wishing all of you a Happy Independence Day! Do you have any special memories to share? Tell me..

Well Well well...

Before you realise its more than 7 months in to this year and in 3 more months we will be planning for Christmas....!! Time flies and in Tokyo it flies faster then the rest of the world...

I am so tired of things moving, changing and growing around me and at the same time I am so in the same place, doing the same old things, with the same guy since the past 6 years....LOL

I am not complaining, but I am wondering when to introduce a great change in to my life..like Yoga, vegetarianism, some sport, some more education, some skill , baby...?
The only thing which is good to me is my work, I dont remember the last time when I felt happy to come to office..but today I do! Inspite of the fact that I am so busy the whole day, under pressure and tired when I get home, I still like my job.Its getting better with time.

Same like my A, he is the same guy since 6 years, but the more I stay with him, the more I grow fonder. He is getting better with time like wine. More handsome, more cute and more patient!!!

On a different note,I have been intrigued by something called Krav maga which is the Israeli self defense technique. For reference, this the same skill JLO learnt when she wanted to get even with her hubby in the movie ENOUGH. My boss and my collegue are so much in to it and I went to see a trial class... My my.. it was too hardcore for me.. girls were running to claw each other and you trying to pulp the girls and they are trying to avoid you and more weird stuff.. I gave up on the thought of joining the class...Thats not something new though..

I have given up on my Law course,Gym, Sarees and my visit to India..so Krav Maga is not something I am feeling terrible about..

But I want to introduce some catalyst right now... I will think over this in the weekend..If any of you have any suggestions... well .. dozo..(Japanese for please)


Finally TGIF....! Yipppeeeeeee....

SO... I have not been writing for a while..I had been lazy. I read all the posts of other Ljers and felt happy and satisfied.

But now I have decided to write in, may be once a week just to keep tabs on life. Things have been smooth and pretty routinely. But the San Francisco and Chicago trip was a great one. It was fun, and I spent great moments with my family. Shopped and shopped and shopped, annoyed everybody with that...spent loads on money, spoent quality time with A and V adn my sweet little girl Twisha.
She is growing up so fast, its scaring me. Just last year, she was this baby who could utter a word and today she is like this little girl who understands everything and exactly knows what she wants. She si good fun, especially when she says vendam to Vishayams.

I loved Chicago and think its beautiful. There is so much of difference between the life in Tokyo and US. It was actually a Culture shock for me.

Will write more about it... My collegues here are hounding me..

Feeling lousy since morning as J&S left today. The whole house seems so empty now. Back to work. Took Friday off, so it was whole 3 days out of work. Suddenly felt like I was coming to office after ages. But have found the rhythm after a lousy start.

Now will go back home and put some diyas out and make some kheer and Gulab jamun. I wish it was India. Diwali is so special for all Indians and here we are , without friends or family to share it with!

Lemme get up from this chair I have been sitting on the whole day and go home. Otherwise, the way I am feeling today I might just not to anything if I dont cheer myself up.

Happy Diwali to one and all!

This whole month has passed in a wink and there are so many things on my mind. Things have been happening in a crazy pace. Work has been good and I feel a lot more comfortable. Its such an improvement over my previous job that I really cant complain. Well,having a boss who gets you chocolates every week on your table just becos you told him you liked that brand is awesome. Have been getting lovely discounts for the friends and family sale for big brands and it has lead me to spend more than usual. Well I couldnt resist a Coach, Bobbi BRown, Estee Lauder, Nike .. you name it! And soon to come is Gucci. I am gonna spend so much on that sale.

Arvind has been a good boy as usual and today both S &J are landing in Tokyo any moment. I am so excited cos of that. Having guest over is a big responsibility. But guess they are like family, so dont have to bother that much.

Going for the Tokyo Motor Show this weekend, its going to be good watching technology at its best. Have been missing home as usual. I just hope Ma in law to come and take charge. I dont know, but I have been really wanting to get either my mum or Arvinds mum over to stay on with me. I am getting completely mumotional nowadays. I think its nature way of telling me to be a mum.

With Vindis plans of taking a MBA at London, i dont think we can plan but it will happen..it will happen! I dont want to talk about my Law course as I have no idea how to finish it. I havent worked on any assignments and feel lazy to look at it. But S is coming over today and he is going to take me to task as this was all his idea.

For one last time, I miss MOM!

There are days when you feel completely not sure of whats happening in your life or what is the next plan of action. They are just days and u are just another character like any other. Guess, all this philosophy comes when u are really bored and wanna go home and have good dinner.

Do all philosophers do philosophy cos they are bored, so they just sit down and think about things behind things and they come up with this great thoery which we all believe in. So the moral of the story is to think about big things in life, do nothing...let boredom creep in.

I am THE PHILOSPHER!

I and A are always in a planning mode. Execution mode is seldom realised. But for once, we dreamt, we planned and we executed. And....it came out to be everything I expected out to be or even better. The drive, the fun , the forests, the beaches , the cozy Ryokan. Everything was perfect. Its like the Alchemist saying, if you want something really bad, the whole universe conspires for you to have it. it was relaly like the whole universe conspiring to give us a good time.

The drive to Izu was the best part. Autumn has set in and Tokyo is cool and breezy. I had so much food on the way, when I count it I really cant beleive my appetite. But what saves the situation is I was not the only one. My personal favourite was the Onsen which was completely deserted for some reason. So for once in my life I was the queen of the Onsen, soaking up the goodness of the healing properties of the water and the surrounding greenery.That was a still moment for me after so longgg....Everything just stopped, I could hear my heart beats..

Fresh Fish was another major attraction for me. I ate till I couldnt eat any more.
There is another long weekend coming. I hope we plan something.. but I am sure I have to wait for 6 more months for anything to get planned and EXECUTED.

Its knocking once again. Monday is a special day. On this day, I regret that I am out of my own country. I will not be able to hoist the flag and cannot see the live telecast from New Delhi. What I can definitely do is to teach National Anthem to children I know. I love to sing it loud and with head held high. My friends have been embarrassed but I havent cared too much. Its a trait which I have carried on from my Dad and will certainly try to pass it on.

I love National Anthem but Vande Mataram is even more beautiful. Some Trivia is given below. Happy Independence Day!

Vandē Mātaram is the national song of India. The song was composed by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in a highly Sanskritized form of the Bengali language. The song first appeared in his book Anandamatha, published in 1882 amid fears of a ban by British Raj, though the song itself was actually written six years prior in 1876.

"Vande Mataram" was the national cry for freedom from British oppression during the freedom movement. Large rallies, fermenting initially in West Bengal, in the major metropolis of Calcutta (Kolkata), would work themselves up into a patriotic fever by shouting the slogan "Vande Mataram," or "Hail to the Mother(land)!" The British, fearful of the potential danger of an incited Indian populace, at one point banned the utterance of the motto in public forums and jailed many freedom fighters for disobeying the proscription. To this day, "Vande Mataram" is seen as a national mantra describing the love of patriots for the country of India.

Though a major aspirant for being the national anthem of India, Vande Mataram was eventually overtaken by Jana Gana Mana, which was ultimately chosen. The choice was slightly controversial, since the Vande Mataram was the one song that truly depicted the pre-independence national fervour. The song was rejected on the grounds that Muslims felt offended by its depiction of the nation as "Ma Durga"—a Hindu goddess—thus equating the nation with the Hindu conception of shakti, divine feminine dynamic force; and by its origin as part of Anandamatha, a novel they felt had an anti-Muslim message.


Dr Rajendra Prasad, who was presiding the Constituent Assembly on January 24 1950, made the following statement which was also adopted as the final decision on the issue:

The composition consisting of words and music known as Jana Gana Mana is the National Anthem of India, subject to such alterations as the Government may authorise as occasion arises, and the song Vande Mataram, which has played a historic part in the struggle for Indian freedom, shall be honored equally with Jana Gana Mana and shall have equal status with it. (Applause) I hope this will satisfy members. (Constituent Assembly of India, Vol.XII, 24-1-1950)

The following is an English translation provided by Sri Aurobindo(His B'day is also on August 15th): -


I bow to thee, Mother,
richly-watered, richly-fruited ,cool with the winds of the south,
dark with the crops of the harvests, The Mother!

Her nights rejoicing in the glory of the moonlight
her lands clothed beautifully with her trees in flowering bloom
sweet of laughter, sweet of speech

The Mother, giver of boons, giver of bliss!

The song we know:

वन्दे मातरम्
सुजलां सुफलां मलयजशीतलाम्
सस्यश्यामलां मातरम्॥

शुभ्रज्योत्स्ना पुलकितयामिनीम्
पुल्लकुसुमित द्रुमदलशोभिनीम्
सुहासिनीं सुमधुर भाषिणीम्
सुखदां वरदां मातरम्॥

कोटि कोटि कन्ठ कलकलनिनाद कराले
कोटि कोटि भुजैर्धृतखरकरवाले
के बोले मा तुमी अबले
बहुबलधारिणीं नमामि तारिणीम्
रिपुदलवारिणीं मातरम्॥

The full version:

वन्दे मातरम्
सुजलां सुफलां मलयजशीतलाम्
शस्य श्यामलां मातरं .
शुभ्र ज्योत्स्न पुलकित यामिनीम
फुल्ल कुसुमित द्रुमदलशोभिनीम्,
सुहासिनीं सुमधुर भाषिणीम् .
सुखदां वरदां मातरम् .. वन्दे मातरम्

सप्त कोटि कन्ठ कलकल निनाद कराले
निसप्त कोटि भुजैध्रुत खरकरवाले
के बोले मा तुमी अबले
बहुबल धारिणीं नमामि तारिणीम्
रिपुदलवारिणीं मातरम् .. वन्दे मातरम्

तुमि विद्या तुमि धर्म, तुमि हृदि तुमि मर्म
त्वं हि प्राणाः शरीरे
बाहुते तुमि मा शक्ति,
हृदये तुमि मा भक्ति,
तोमारै प्रतिमा गडि मंदिरे मंदिरे .. वन्दे मातरम्

त्वं हि दुर्गा दशप्रहरणधारिणी
कमला कमलदल विहारिणी
वाणी विद्यादायिनी, नमामि त्वाम्
नमामि कमलां अमलां अतुलाम्
सुजलां सुफलां मातरम् .. वन्दे मातरम्

श्यामलां सरलां सुस्मितां भूषिताम्
धरणीं भरणीं मातरम् .. वन्दे मातरम्

Well, I was thinking about the songs i like and it was really difficult to pick the top 10. But finally this is my list.All of them are not in order of preference.I just love all of them.

1.Phoolon ke rang se, dil ke kalam se:
Lovely lyrics, and has a very romantic feel about it.

2.Man kyon bahka re bahka adhi raat ko:UTSAV
Has a nostalgic feel, very sensuous and extremely effective when played in the night in a dark room with just a flickering light in the corner.

3.Bahon me chale ao
One of the songs that I love singing, simply because its easy to sing and the tune gives a lot of scope to the singer to bring out the best.

4.Gazab ka he din socho zara : QSQT

Fun song, reminds me of school and those days of crushes and flings. Also surprisingly reminds me of the cute pair of Amir and Juhi every time I sing it. This was the only song which my roommate could delver beautifully and nevertheless did a very good job.

5.Tumse milke: Parinda
The kind of song you want to sing to ur boyfriend and husband remeinding them of your togetherness and love. An all time favourite.

6.Chalo, Tumko leker chaloon:Jism

Soft,sexy;it almosts transfers you to a different world. A world full of dreams, romance and lots of passion. The most passionate song ever made. Actually in the beginning I liked Jadoo hai nasha hai better,but soon this song just grew on me. Give me this song in the night.

7.Kandhon se milte hain kandhe: Lakshya
Ahem.. a patriotic emotional fool that I am, I simply loved this song. It fills me with pride and glory. I just glow when I hear this song. I hope they make it as popular as our national anthem, and let every kid learn it like we did tables.

8.Jane kyon: Dil Chahta hai
Simple, straightforward, peppy and melodious. Love to hear it on a drive.

9.Jiya Jale:Dil se
Wow is what I said when I heard it; this song is different. The background score is innovative and awesome. The lyrics is not straight and is left to the imagination of the listener. Once I listen I hum it all day..has a very earthy feel.

10.Ye kahan aa gaye hum:Silsila

The baap of all songs is here. Never can a song be so beautifully done. I wonder how the guy who wrote this came up with such amazing lyrics and idea of adding Big B's voice!! Songs will come and go, but this song will never fade with time. Love it, Love it, love it , love it..

OK, now I am aching to hear some nice music, guess I will listen to some firaang song now. How about my favourite Kiss from a rose by Seal? Will do that right now. Switch of the lights, keep the lamp on and listen to this song....Seal here I come..

The buzz is all over now. Shree Shree has been nominated for the noble peace prize. And everyone other than the AOL members are pouring letters to the Peace Prize Committee for their support. Isnt that lovely news?But Peace Prize or no peace prize, he will still be Shree shree, smiling and eyes shining with kindness.

Have so much of work to do and I am lazying around doing nothing. Well, this has become a habit as such.. doing nothing! Dont even want to look at my law books and suddenly running out of patience to write this journal.

Today was Hanabi and Vindi wasnt around. There cannot be anything sadder than this. I was wandering in the river side like a zombie for sometime and finally came back home with a veyr heavy heart. The fireworks were as usual beautiful. Last year was fun with Mohan and friends coming over but whats hanabi without friends??

Sharing these things with Vindi means a lot to me.Atleast i have begun to realise that certain things when shared are the best. I wonder how people stay away from families for days together!! I cnanot manage a single day without Vindi.Even though he returns when its time for breakfast , the thought that he is a phone call away is enough for me. Today wil be another day without sleep I think. Just me and the idiot box.

This weekend we are planning a trip out of Tokyo. We have been planning this since a long time. Lets see if we can really make it. India trip is still haunting. Am I the only one feeling so homesick or what?

Time to look up to greater things now.. my Law degree, my job and a baby????

Babies are everywhwere. They kill me softly with their smile thier not so important babblings... Everywhere I see there are babies, girls, boys, twins.. fat, round, skinny with pretty dresses. Someone is expecting, some one has just delivered, someone wants me find a nice name.. I am gonna get crazy. Sit down Sangeeta...and relax..stick to your decision. Its hard though!

Guess I will get baby dreams tonight.

Hunger is one my mind right now and I feel its the only thing in the world which is important. Strange enough I give equal importance to sleep. Yesterday was a lousy day as I just couldnt manage to even catcvh a wink in the night, blame it on the late night coffee. Should never do that again, but always almost volutarily I drink coffee whenever I get chance. Should actually stop taking coffee completely. I am anyway not a coffee person unlike Vindi who cant start his day without a cuppa coffee.

Talking about coffee I think Mom makes the best coffee in the world. Its really great to drink that one cup she hands you in the morning. She si the one responsible for making me an addict to coffee.

My stomach has already warned be some 6 times now by making such strange noises that I need to fill it anyhow. This woman standing beside me in the office is yapping so much that I am losing concentration. She taks unecessarily and laughs so loudly that you wan tto slap her to be quiet. She is still continuing her chatter to the guy in front of me and together I think they create commotion. They are continuing the chatter almost unstoppable and I am getting irritated to the core cos first I am hungry and second I had no sleep last might.

God, please stop her chatter..

So the month of December has arrived with its funfare. Seems like yesterday when last year I was in Bangalore slogging it out at work to do my best before I forget myself in the pleasures and pains of matrimony.
In October I lost my roomie to one Mr.Joe and life had been a living hell once I was back at my pad after a long day at office. She was like my other half. A friend I could just run in to for anything and I beleive she thought the same. When we were not in office, we loved just to be with each other. The gym in the morning was one of our favourites. Naren, out instructor was a tough nut to crack and would never allow us to joke or laugh. That did not refrain us from making our own conclusions about people who gymed with us, some weird stuff about people I dont even remember how they looked. We used to catch each other for lunch as our offices were close by and after lunch just run to be with each other once we finished office.

Whether watching a movie or just going out to buy monthly grocery or television set we were together. Some of our lives biggest decisions were made in the pad, as both of us got married from there. Those were the days....bright and cheerful with zero responsibility. The question WHAT TO COOK FOR DINNER never bothered me as much then as I knew KFC was around the corner and so was Imperial.

Well coming back to December, its going to be an eventful one as my trip to India is due this month and how I love that one...

Todays day was unexpectedly busy for me. It was a quiet day till I reached office. My boss was in high spirits and suggested we go out today being my last day of work at this office. I thought he was kidding me in beginning, but he told me to confirm trip to Nikko with Mom in 10 minutes time. And actually I did,and before I could know what was happening we were hitting the road at the speed of 140 km per hour towards Nikko. Was really sad to leave hubby behind as I had always wanted to go to this place with him. But as they say dane dane pe likha hai nikko jane walon ka naam....

Nikko is approx. 1 hour drive from Tokyo if there are no vehicles in the road,2 hours if there is traffic. No prizes for guessing when we reached Nikko. It was absolutely breathtaking. After fighting with centrifugal force for sometime as most of the things to see are 1200 ft above sea level. I really fell for the Nikko lake , it was freezing though. It was a picture postcard kindaa place, those lakes,trees, cute log houses and waterfalls, some snow here and there. Oohh... how inspiring nature can be.

Then we drove down for lunch. Lunch was not very good but enough to fill my stomach. Hot Soba and soup in the cold climate was tempting enough. I didnt bother too much about the taste.Mom had a problem though. I cant blame her, she being pucca vegetarian, the smell is enough for her. And that too in Japan, where every thing smells of sea and food smells of sea weed.. talking about sea wood pastries.hahah!

We finished lunch and headed for the shrine which was Grreeaat... covering a very large area, it had some similar looking Japanese pagodas. we could check the interiors of only one shrine. The idols were in gold and so high that I almost sprained my neck looking at them.
We drove back and I had to yap all the way through as Y san was feeling sleepy. He stopped twice to cut the sleepiness and finally reached home sweet home. The best place in the world. Today was a great day as Vindi gave the news that we had been waiting for for more than a decade now. May be I feel so....

To sum it all, it was a fun filled day with splashes of fun and good news gallore. Hope all days are like this. Amen to that!!

Talking to Arti after long time made me feel good...whenever I talk to her I go back imagine both of us in adjacent rooms and talking about something not very important. Sometimes gossips from the campus.. sometimes about how to copy Ritu Kumars designs of salwars.Still fresh,still so very fresh...!!About studies??? Dont kid me..!!!

Guess I am gonna be busy this evening, going out with Arvind and MIL to wrap up some shopping before she leaves for US to her bundle of Joy "Twisha". Though I thought Dongonnna was an atrocious name for the child, it seems to catching up... but my Twisha is among the very chosen one. My Anoushka lost to Aditri but this time I am not letting my Twisha loose.

Just got a call saying evening plan is off.. cos Arvind is busy( as ever)... Got to rush home now.

These are some of the things I learnt today.. I havent yet mastered it though!!

What to say while receving a call in Japan in Japanese(really??)

O-sewani nate orimasu.
Thankyou for calling my company

moshiwake arimasen.
I am sorry

mina dekakete orimasu
No one is here and everyone is out

Rendaku itashimatshnode
I will ask them to call you

Odenwa bango woo onegaishimas
Please teach me your telephone number.

Hai wakarimashita
yes,I understood

I have been trying to tell people this since morning on the phone. I make so many mistakes that they start laughing. Very amused to see a Gaijin making an effort but not getting it right...Let me practice this the whole day..

I think I am so cranky since morning that nothing is making me feel better, not even an important Japanese lesson.. I think I am overwhelmed by my home sickness and just to want go home and breathe...Home is a place where I can just be me and no ones going to dispute that. My Dad thinks I am a princess and my mom thinks I need to be there for her always... So that sums up why I am missing home so much..I love the way my mom wakes me up and throws up mock anger when I persude her to sit near me for sometime. I love the way my Dad calls my name after his walks in the morning for a cuppa chai.I love the way my brother irritates me by whispereing in my ears and playing all kindaa tricks to wake me up as I am asleep. I love that small lawn where we sip tea in the evenings. Thinking of these, I feel these are the little luxuries which are becoming difficult to attain as days go by. I understand it now and just wishing If I can take back time and indulge in them a little more. If this wish gets sanctioned at any point I may never turn back the clock again...

Sometimes things dont go the way you want them to be. You because of your overdose of movies and books expect things to be fairy taleish. And in days when you are really cranky you screw up every bit of it and feel like a loser... But have to beleive is life is not about trying to be just yourself and standing up for every other thing to argue. Life is about making adjustments, making yourself sane before lashing out and trying to guess about the others way of sanity. After all you have just your mind to take care of, that itself is such a big task!!!!!

Setting it right, without prejudices, expectations and occasional bout of anger and blues is a big task. Well, going ahead and wanting to make changes over things that you dont have control over is absurd.

Like Shree Shree says You must save your mind at any cost. I will try to save mine.

I just wanted to pick up something which will keep me grounded to me at certain hour of the day. As I am aging faster than usual( with few noticeable whitehairs), its better to keep track of things...fearing Amnesia..

So I will keep a diary with records of everything I do and everything I intend to do and dont do.. Hope this time I dont make a resolution only to be broken later...Amen!!
