Do you like it?
It reminds me of summer colors.. Which is the current weather by the way.

How are you today?

Another Dreamer — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 13:18:50 +0000

Very fine. Thank you.

That’s how I feel most of the time these days. I’m pretty close to Nirvana.. And that’s what scares me. Funny, right?
When I think about my life these days, I really can’t complain about anything.
I’ve an amazing Family that supports me through all my whims and craziness.
I’ve some of the best people in this world as my friends.
My work’s not great but it ain’t bad either. Which is more than most people can say.
I’m almost done with ‘things to do before 30′ list. Now I’m preparing one for 40s, so I can start on it.

I think the reason I feel content is that somehow somewhere (very recently) I realized that I was focusing more on petty things around me than on my priorities. And when I started thinking about my priorities, everything became ok. That’s all it took. Focus on important things and people in life.
So what Bitch at work made another nasty comment. Maybe poor thing is unhappy at home.
So what Someone else is earning more than me. Maybe he needs it more than I do.
So what she’s got a bigger house. Maybe her family needs more space.

I spent a day thinking and realized I’m not ambitious enough. I really don’t want to become a CEO.
I really don’t care about bank balance as long as I can buy things I want. And clearly I can.
All I want to do in life is to travel, read and meet interesting people. which I’m already doing. Yes, I wouldn’t mind longer vacations but then again, who wouldn’t.

So, Moral of the story is ‘Get your priorities right and focus on them. Nothing else matters’

PS: Maybe one day I’ll become a self-help guru and teach world my profound thoughts

but this one did.. 3 Compatibility Deal-Breakers

I specially liked this line – “If you can sit with that person for at least 40 minutes just doing nothing but like watching shows on the telly or listening to music, and never once feel awkward or uncomfortable, never feel like you ‘have to make conversation,’ that’s a good sign.”

I always thought this one was a must-have in any relationship.. Of course, not everyone agrees

Awesome links

Seasons Of Love lyrics
Rent Soundtrack

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure? measure a year
in daylights,
in sunsets,
in midnights,
in cups of coffee,
in inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife
in five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in a life?
How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure In Love
Seasons Of Love
Seasons Of Love

(female soloist)
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a life of a woman or a man
(male soloist)
in truths that she learned
or in times that she cried
in bridges he burned
or the way that she died
(all)
Its time now to sing out though
the story never ends
Let’s celebrate remember a year in a life
of friends
Remember the love…
(oh you gotta remember the love)
Remember the love…
(oh yeah, its a gift from up above)
Remember the love…
(sing out, give out, measure your life in looooooove…!!!)
Seasons Of Love
Seasons Of Love

Part 2
In Diapers – Report Cards
In Spoke Wheels – In Speeding Tickets
In Contracts – Dollars
In Funerals – In Births
In – Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes
How Do You Figure
A Last Year On Earth?

Figure In Love
Figure In Love
Figure In Love
Measure In Love
Seasons Of Love
Seasons Of Love

..you would see two auto-rickshaw drivers holding a conversation while driving in two different lanes, oblivious to the vehicles behind them.

I can so relate to this..

This literally reminded me of a conversation I had yesterday.
Someone I barely know called me up, at work, to tell me not to feel bad and then continued to tell me the reasons, which made me feel even worse. There was stuff I wasn’t even thinking of. Talk about rubbing salt in wound.

I can be so cheesy…

“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more”.
~~ Erica Jong in How to Save Your Own Life (1977)

I love to be right..

Recent trip to Rishikesh with few friends just proved how important it is for couples to take a vacation together before getting committed.
I would rather travel with someone who doesn’t share my interests than someone who wouldn’t let me follow mine..
I wonder if I should admire people who avoid conflict at any cost or should I pity them? Their life is being decided by somebody else and all they do is make excuses..
Too Bad.. Life is so much more fun when you get to do things your way..

Just Do It…

This is just so True.. I think I’m gonna print this one and Hang it on my Wall

“Take Chances. Tell the truth. Date someone totally wrong for you. Say no. Spend all your cash. Fall in love. Get to know someone random. Be random. Say I love you. Sing out loud. Laugh at stupid jokes. Cry. Apologize. Tell someone how much they mean to you. Tell a jerk what you think. Laugh til your stomach hurts and yours eyes water. Live life. And most of all…Have no regrets.”
—Lindsey Biggers

Btw.. I’ve done everything mentioned here. So Guess I’m living my life well..
