Birthday and New Year Pointers

~Read more (doing well but there is always room for improvement)
~Work towards another degree (If the heart is willing, the junk crammed machinery that is the brain will follow suit)
~Earn more, budget properly and save money (ehem!! Wish you all the best)
~Learn to swim (bribe roomie to give company)
~Visit Goa (the whole world has visited it)
~Visit Delhi, the city where I was lost. Perhaps, to find myself this time. (Brother and many friends including Dr. J, my childhood friend and one of the coolest doctors around is also there. Boy, she has got the looks, brains, attitude and the money too. And she is taken)
~Visit home (Big brother has had his second child. You will hate it if you will have to be introduced to your own family. It is time the Aunty on the phone show her face to her little niece and sing along Tinkle Tinkle Litten Star)
~Call up parents every week-end. (It is your turn now)
~Reduce shopping sprees. Have too many clothes (well, let us relax on this)
~Wake up earlier (Respect the motive behind the invention of the alarm clock)
~Keep fit and be healthy (One push-up every New Year is not called an exercise)
~Pamper self (You deserve it)
~Social work (You can get a little more serious with the children)
~Sing and dance (As you have always been doing. Been shameless even when you brey. Now, why pretend?)

Now, the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart. I promised myself I won’t have any new dates last year and I succeeded. Well, almost :-) Something also tells me, I’ll find true love this time. Friends rightly call me ‘the eternal romantic’ So here are the pointers:

Not be reckless with the heart of someone who cares (Enough of putting one foot in a relationship. Mr. Nice guys deserve some nice woman who is not necessarily you. No back-up strategies or multi-tasking. It is ok with being a bitch but no, you don’t want to become THE bitch.)

Not put up with someone who is reckless with mine (Move on, he doesn’t know what he is missing. How else do you console yourself?)

It is my birthday again and it is bad manners to make fun of old people.

I continue living and I continue learning. A line from a song by Tori Amos: “Give me life, give me pain, give me myself again.”

Updates - Bangaluru-Mangaluru-Suckuluru

J has left Bangaluru (this sucks) to be at Mangaluru (this sucks more) for a month before she gets married. She asked me to take care of her brother so I have taken it upon myself to wake him up every morning. How do I do it? Jeevan!!!!!! Bang on the door. Jeevan Bang! Bang! Jeevaaannn Bang Bang Bang!! By this time, I have managed to wake up the neighbours too. A good deed done, I go back to bed. After two days, J called me up asking if I wake him up everyday. I heard he is vacating the house soon.

Switched job again. There are some people for instance J, who stuck to one organization for 5 yrs. How? I just don’t know. The first day I join an organization a thought creeps up somewhere “where after this?” It is not happening this time. So I guess, I will be sticking here for sometime one main reason being the lunch, which is free. I may even become one of the pillars of the building. If I am thrown out, I’ll be looking out again saying to myself, "Little did I know how little I know!" If this line appears as a blog entry someday, kindly send your condolences over the loss of my job which came with free lunches. Got a farewell party from my old organization. It moved me as I did not work there for even a year. I carry along sweet memories of shared lunch boxes and good camaraderie. Blogging is a very private thing and I hope I get to do it from the privacy of my office wherever I go.

Wish you all a prosperous New Year 2006!!!

Auspicious time

“Tujhe dekh dekh sona
Tujhje dekh kar hain jagna
Mene ye zindagani
Sang tere bitaani
Tujhme basi hain meri jaan
Jeeya dharak dharak jaye “

Have been listening to this song from the recently released Kalyug, over and over again waiting for an auspicious time to start concentrating on work. Now, it is time to go home. Have a nice evening! :-)
