The Year behind

Hi All,

I was planning to write this post since a long time, and the deal was that either I write it before 31^st or I don’t write it at all.

Right now it looks like this post will be out..

So after reading a lot of stuff from other blogs , websites and people here goes my rants of the year.. :p

 

The year started with a not so good note as I was still not satisfied with my switch to this new company.

Then I had to postpone my outing of the year till May.

But I also got a very good team here and my efforts bore fruits of success in the mid year..

On the personal front I had the most ups and downs…

Had a lot of family issues … this is the first year I have not celebrated Diwali with my parents… or any other festival as a matter of fact…

Got my first DSLR… this was one of the best achievements of my life… I never knew I loved photography so much and that I had the skills…

The biggest achievement?? The new member who will soon join my family…I am a bit worried and lot  happy for it…

Then came the rough patch of year after my Gujarat tour in may..

The rough patch is still going on with my dear wife.. and I don’t see any solution for that in near future..

The year ends with a bang as I met my college friends and got to meet my best friend from college… now that we are on the whatsapp group.. I hope the contact remains in the near future as well…

Made some good friends and really good friends   in the office…

I did some new things which I never expected would be so nice… like bowling…

I also got a chance for doing  some stupid things like snooping in others lives… but I learned a lot in this process.. especially the fact that Ignorance Is Bliss

I feel matured … patient… enlightened… and stupid … as the year comes to an end…

I know this is not even a fraction of what has happened.. but these are the things which I do remember very clearly..

So all is well that ends well J

An mosaic with most of the events ..

The Connection

I was having my daily dose of Quora posts when I encountered this image….

I was already in a similar thought process and this image boosted me up to come up with a post.

 

I always wanted a partner who would connect to my thoughts and ideas.

I had a lot of friends and I did at a point met a few people with whom I was able to connect.

But things didn’t turn out as expected because I was not mature to understand my needs and wants or because the connection was not strong enough.

Then a time came for me to decide whether I should wait for the right person or go ahead with someone I thot was right.

I chose the 2nd option.

I don’t regret my decisions at least not in public ..and so I won’t regret this one too..

I have seen a lot of people waiting the whole life for the correct person… and I am still to find someone who actually found one.

No I  am not saying that such people do not exist or anything… the thing is I have not yet seen any one…

This could be because now I don’t want to see that ….

Sometimes I still find someone who  I feel I could connect to but now I have stopped trying …

But I still ponder …what if I had chose the 1^st option and found the connection….

Feeling blue

Hi All,

Back after a long time..

Was going through some serious highs and lows in life…

But this weekend changed a lot of things..

Had an office outing and met some college friends.. feeling rejuvenated now.

Sometimes I don’t understand what is wrong in my life.. things are so good and still I lack the peace and content.

I always think it’s all my fault.

I have always expected a lot more from everyone…

There is a lot to write but I don’t want to… I wish I could..

Bbye…

december 16th

This date has been a bit memorable for me since a long time..

Nothing very special but it all started with the hindi movie “16 December”

 

After that I had a college friend whose b’day was on this date..

I still remember staying up late to wish her.

And then I got a call from her just  15 mins before midnight  saying that it’s her birthday..

My surprise for her was spoilt but I njoyed the moment..

2 years later I was celebrating an office friend’s birthday on this date..

and next year I was on my honeymoon in Ooty.

Last year it was the ill-fated Nirbhaya’s case…

I still remember a bit of fight with my wife when an event reminder went ON on my phone about “her” b’day.

My wife wanted to know why is it still there in my reminder list..

I removed it..

It’s been long time I have met her and have almost completely forgotten her.. except for the times when my wife reminds me of my past deeds

[sorry dear wife.. I was a bit different then… believe me now I love only U]

Few days back I got a reminder mail from “birthday alarm “ reminding me of her birthday.

The problem is that I don’t remember  my credentials for the website and cant remove the reminders .. else I want to remove a couple more :p

Yesterday my wife told me that 16^th is a special day.. it was not much time after I had checked the reminder from birthday alarm and I was frightened that she still remembers it..

Later I found out that it was our marriage anniversary according to Lunar calendar and I heaved a sigh of relief.. J

And  today morning when my old phone rang of a birthday reminder [Yes we still use that phone with a different sim] .. I was shocked.. I thought it was reminder for her birthday..

My wife turned it off and told me it was my office friend’s birthday… the guy I mentioned at top.. [sorry no names]

It reminded me of lot of old memories and I faded away in Nostalgia(during bath) … :p

 

It takes a few moments to create memories and a lifetime to forget them … [If no one has said it  then I own this line J]

I thought I was the only one to do this..

The above pic says it all.

I do it almost every time I shave and a couple of times I have left a French beard just to remove it after my wife says it’s no symmetrical..

There are so many things common between us all but we assume that we are the only ones [or one of the very few] who do it..

Need of the day is to open up to share the thoughts so that all get to know it..

Facebook does help but I prefer Quora ..

I know Quora is for sharing knowledge .. but I have learned a lot of similarities across  geographies and cultures..

I think this is it for this post..

Planning to add a couple more posts in short time..

Bbye till then!!

The Chocolate and Cheese fast

Hi,

So m back after a short break.

Actually there is nothing much new going in my life except the “Chocolate and Cheese ” Fast.

A couple of weeks ago I was having severe pain in my abdomen and was diagnosed with kidney stone.

The doc asked me to keep a tab on some vegetables like cucumber, tomatoes etc.

I was fine with that. The real problem started when he asked to avoid Cheese and Chocolates.

I LOVE both these items and am always ready to savor anything made using these.

But it has been 2 full weeks since I have not ate a bite of any of these [except for one slice of chocolate cake :p].

I am dearly missing it now and wish the stone comes out quickly so that I can start munching it again.

But the good part is I feel I am losing out some weight because of it. …

So there is some good news here… J

That’s all folks .. bbye till the next time !!
