Somethings for 2010...

Well now that the "NEW" year has begun infact its through 2.5 weeks,(better late than never!),I have some things to do this year.And, I thought I need to put it down.But to make it work, I think it needs to be done on paper as well.Come to think of it, suppose this will be the first year,I'll be actually taking this form of what everyone calls as resolution.Resolution are what according to so many a word that's got validity just for 2 days.Day 1 being Dec 31'st - "So,tomorrow's New Year's,what are your resolutions" OR Day 2 being Jan 1'st - "So,what's the list of resolutions for the year ahead".There, it gets done with that.

But,since I'm putting this down well after about 2.5 weeks,it might actually get done.Lets see about that anyway. So,let me now get somethings down,and rate the practicality of it.

1.Do my finance-This is something which takes about few minutes of the day.Which is one thing that I start and stop within few days time.How do I get it done on a regular basis?Maybe make an excel sheet and stick it on my cupboard.I see no other way out of this, IF I plan to make my SLR a reality! And,its an easy task, so 8/10.

2.I need to regular with my marathons if i need some numbers reduced :) I have never found that moment of the morning which makes me lazy to that point wherein i skip my very very personal time.So, Apart from just thinking that its a time to get some muscles moving,how about thinking this way, its a time for me, to be just with myself.I never like companion walking!I don't get the speed I want.Its the time when am to think what I want to with no one to interrupt!Well, that's the thought , but to get this to reality as well, I need another excel! This is a task that I have done successfully in the past, so, it's not got to do with difficulty/practicality ;it's just got to sorting out with my attitude.So,another 8/10.

3.I need to be more serious about reading.Here, the reading refers to the book I've recently got for an exam.If I'm to be existing in this industry, I need to make exams and studies my partner.Which depends largely on the area.For now, I've just discovered 1 such domain.I need to be serious about it and get the exam done well and try some focusing in terms of my career.Here my ultimate motivation would be number's again.The money am paid.If I'm to enjoy the pleasure of money, I need to be steering towards something stable.So,think big,think money! And the points are,7/10

4.I need to make a reading list.But more than making a reading list, one thing that's more practical is being regular to my library.Its a wonderful place,it has lot of books out there waiting for me to read(if such a line could help).Better writing comes from extensive reading.And,reading is something which I thoroughly relish!So,considering the fact that a dream is to be a writer someday,this is an exercise which needs to be done regularly.Rating being 8/10

5.I need to resist the temptation to buy bad clothes.Now this is something that needs my attention more than so many!I have this terrible habit of buying things just as per love at first sight basis.I dont think about the quality.I have an umpteen kurta's which need serious mending and which has reached the level just after wearing once or twice.What needs to be drilled in is that,with 5/6 of such bad clothes which lays like rags after a wash,replace the money with a v.v sexy top! Which is what my wardrobe needs direly! Practicality being 6/10.

6.I need to pray more often.I don't really need to explain the reason right.The more often I pray,the less guilty i feel about things going not going the way i hoped it would.Its some great deal of solace.And ratio of  it working out,7/10.

7.I need to widen the horizon of music I listen to.I need to stop skipping when an unfamiliar song starts playing on the ipod.BECAUSE I'm the person who missed out The Beatles and Bob Marley until now and unnecessarily.It took "LOVE ME DO"  and "buffalo soldier"to slap me and make me turn my ear to them! And I felt pathetic for missing out so much.

8.I need to take more pictures more often.This is for making a good reason for the SLR.

So,that's all for now,rather that's all I can think of.My dreams for this year are not hard to do,but  needs greater perseverance!

Michelle and Beatles

"Michelle my belle",this is one song which has become my ear worm.Its the simplest and most beautiful love ballad I've got to listen ever.It amazes me as to how simple things can be listening to the song.The lyrics,the chords and Paul's voice.The other thing that amazes is that this song was composed in 1965.Call it nothing but ignorance,but I cant place something as beautiful as this song and the time it was made.But,wait isn't complexity the invention of recent times? 

Anyways,let complexity and simplicity be left to themselves and here I'm putting down the lyrics... :)

                          

Michelle, ma belle,

These are words that go together well,

my Michelle

Michelle, ma belle,

Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble

I love you, I love you, I love you,

that's all I want to say

Until I find a way,

I will say the only words I know you'll understand

Michelle, ma belle,

Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble

I need to, I need to, I need to,

I need to make you see

Oh, what you mean to me,

until I do I'm hoping you will know what I mean,

I love you

I want you, I want you, I want you,

I think you know by now

I'll get to you some how,

until I do I'm telling you so you'll understand

Michelle, ma belle,

Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble

And I will say the only words I know that you'll understand,

my Michelle....

The Dream....

 I'm a dreamer.I love building castles in my mind.I love imagining   things, and more often that not, those are things which are close to impossible.So, here i have one absolutely impossible dream,which i would love to see becoming reality. It was sometime during my TCS training at Bangalore that Jags told about the tea shop at Himalayas, and that's when I promised him, I'm going to be the first partner in the venture!He would be the Socrates of the place.I mean thats what his whole idea was, to talk about God and philosophy to the people coming to Himalayas.But, wait, i really think it would be but boring to just sit and contemplate about such things all the time! There needs to be something else...Fine, i'll decide the something else later, right now let me just dream how it's going to be :)

So, lets get to some designing,am yet to decide if its to be a cozy comfy brown and woods with potted plants/if it should be crazy and colorful.Maybe it could be crazy and colorful.I need those LED serial lights,and plush cushions and sofas and bean bag and place for books and wind chimes and fire place and one large Indian jhula/swing in the center and potted plants and candles and colored glass windows and a pretty garden and cane chairs outside and those pretty white fence and flowers and of all colors. Thats all the things I can imagine for now.

Its all coming back....

Here comes another year!And like so many bloggers in this site and many others, Im in for writing about it.Yup this time I'm in the laid back crowd.Am at home,with amma and appa,with my laptop and my books and my apples.Though its nothing but contentment that I can feel now,there sure is one thing which is pulling threads.And, I walked along the thread backwards,there i saw Gouri, i saw Sarath,i saw Mayur, i saw Abhay,i saw Aadhi, i saw Jaynth,.So, that was the thread all about.It was all about my friends.I missed them them..err. no.... MISS them terribly..

Right now, Im just remembering Gouri's "am hungry"/"am sleepy"/''chuppy darling".Im just thinking about Saraths paneer fingers and his devdas look on an exam morning!!!"I dont know, think i might just get 1 in this paper".Im remembering Abhay's "V for Vendetta,man! nothing comes close as that movie"/duh! i always knew it attitude/its ok Kavi its going to be allright,we are there!Im just remembering Mayur's "abbey kya hai yaar"/his whines/his guitar.Im remembering Aadhi's tsk-psk talks/her baby monkey face/her belief in that lucky bangle.Im remembering...oh hold on, we r talking about Jaynth here ey, there's only one thing i miss about him, he just does not fail to amuse anyone and everyone around him!!!His random leg breaks and hand breaks and finger breaks and one actual nose break....

Now,why am getting so bloody senti about it all was cuz of some old college pictures and a long long convo with Sarath,Mayur and Sid few hours ago.We laughed around,kept pulling each others legs and spoke about Mayur's glorious drinking days!Thats when i missed the rest of u!I wanted us to be in our fav hangout "Alankar" :P If not for the food,for just sitting there together.Its something i know is difficult to happen again,esp with gouri,jaynth and abhay in the US,aadhi and sarath in UK and mayur in Netherlands,and ofcourse, me in India! Wow!!!Couldnt get to be a better split.


Man, I want to see us together sometime!
