what goes around comes around

LIFE IS AN IRONY

Have u ever rewinded back in time and wondered how some relationships have been strange?
I dont have to rewind .. Live show ON here!!
What i mean is that life aint that easy. Its a roller coaster ride that never ceases to fascinate!!

And relationships are one of the weirdos that u can never get a hang of.

U consider a few ur closest friends.. U wanna share ur happiness,sorrows and ur darkest fears with them,confide in them and trust them...

Some of them shower their love on you and do everything u want them to without any hesitation..
they flock around u , pamper u and wat not..
In my case, i have always been lucky to have such great frnds ryt from childhood.
Friends who would force me to eat when i was feeling down, travel with me home so that i am not scared..
Take care of me when i am sick.. listen to all the crap i load them with everyday.. Cope up with my mood swings!!
But u hardly ever try to return the love back to them. U dont realise their value.. Like the saying goes "U never miss the water till its gone"..
its like they are a part of u and u take them for granted. U hardly ever realise they expect u to reciprocate !!

And then there are these mysterious friends.. they add all the spices in life ..
They give u a helping hand even when u dont expect them to... one day they are all ears and the next day they hardly even call. As time flies by, u start to expect so much from them and the more u expect, the more it pains..
Deep down u now they care about u but they never ever seem to show it out..and then u keep wondering why they are acting strange.U put in all ur efforts to make them realise how much they mean to u, but in vain; all u get is "hmmmmmmmm"..
But u never give up.. in hopes that someday they will realise ...

And then u think back and it hits on u ... "What goes around comes back around!!"

IRONY OF LIFE - Isnt it?

Emotions versus practicality

How many of u have heard this dialogue being said at u “Be practical, quit living in your fantasy land”. If u are one of them, well what did u do??

I have had many giving me this piece of advice for long now. I always fought back saying am happy as I am. What’s wrong in attaching value to things I like? I attach sentiments to my things and to my friends! Things that might sound silly to others matter to me .So what? It ain’t hurting me, I like doing what I do.

Dancing in the rain, enjoying a quite little walk back home from the university, taking off time to appreciate the trees, birds, flowers and the mountains, things that cheer me up, I would never ever give up for anyone..Neither wud i give up my family and friends and the emotions i attach to them!!

Feeling sad when your dear one fought with you, didn’t eat what you had cooked, didn’t satisfy one of your zillion expectations… these are emotions everyone have and should have. Fighting over silly things on phone, possessiveness, expecting to be called everyday, wanting to spend time together are a part of the package of life!

What would life be if u didn’t care about your friends & family nor did anyone care about u..

Have u ever imagined such a life? A mechanical life where u live like a robot????

These where my thoughts until i came across different people here and things changed.. I realized, the more u expect from others, the more u bond with them, the more u are hurt!! Sometimes it makes u think if its worth it at all…. all the hurt, the tears, the insecurity, the anger!! Y not just hang around have fun and leave it at that?? Why complicate things between people when life can be so simple? After all, we shud make the best of what we have got!!

Why should u feel sad if your friend is low, get upset if she/he does not eat, does not do as u expected them to. Y the hell expect at all in the first place?? And what’s this possessiveness after all, u don’t own anyone except yourself..

As such questions cross my mind, I wonder “Life ain’t that easy, managing life is an art of its own “ . Think about it…

Inspired by “The Equilibrium” and snippets of incidents in life around me


Luv ur life

My way of life - live life, enjoy every sec of it!! Learning to love anything that u do makes life a lot more fun.. Some of the things that spruce up my life are as follows:
Music - cant live without it. My ipod is on my ears most of the times, i keep humming to myself.The best companion when going on long walks , or when studying hard!! A soother when i am not feeling up to it!

Nature - Green leaves waving, colorful flowers blooming, Rain drizzles, Snow fall, birds chirping, gush of wind, mountains standing tall, river gushing along, majestic waterfalls .. They lighten my spirits.. cheer me up and bring a budle of enthu into me :).. Try admiring them for a few minuted everyday, the peace they bring to ur minds will recharge u...Some of the places that still remain fresh in my mind are 1. Kalpakkam beach |m| 2. Papanasam falls 3. Munar 4. Kodaikaanal silent valley 5.Hogenakkal falls - Karnataka

Dance - my passion.. my life is nothing without it.. Right from Bharathanatiyam, to folk, to western , i just cant live without it!! The one thing i always want to be a perfectionist in!! A little head weight in this regard that i dance the best of all :P.. i have this little ego that noone can find faults with my moves!! I bring out my emotions in my dance :) :) I LUV DANCING !!

Good fooooood - Nothing like it.. considering the fact that am away from home :( Pulav and Pongal are my all time favorites!! Followed closely by dosa and vada!! Strawberry ice creams for desserts :D .. Ahhhhh my mouth is watering :P .... i like my fud HOT and SPICY !! Talking abt spice reminds me of my mom's yummy side dishes for chapathis.. Shez an awesome cook.. Unfortunate that i havent got those traits from her :P

I hardly get time to enjoy all of this!! Wish days were longer :) See around u and enjoy every moment of life.. chao

My home!!

If any of u didnt know, i have lived in Kalpakkam - which is Heaven on earth!! Right on the sea shore, the joy it brings when walking along the roads with the chilly breeze and the green trees dancing is a delight!! I luv taking a novel and sitting on the beach.. me words and waves!! A quiescent mind, silence broken only by the waves hitting the shores!! Times that i treasure!! The sunsets and sun rises just dazzle me .. Our cute little park which is filled with children fluttering
around playing pranks!! Our open air theater rocks, sathyam,mayajal shud bow in shame :D
Our cute small temples that are meeting places for aunts!! The bridge and the jelly fishes in the nites!! Amazing and so soothing!!!
When back in India, that would be my very first hop!! Relive those blissful days , becoming one with nature!1 I miss my place. I realise the true meaning of the quote - U never miss the water till its gone!!

My softies!!

Every gal has her own fantasies as most smart boys wud know ;)
Mine are soft toys.. especially tweety,monkeys,winnie the pooh and everyone;s fav teddies!!

i can never sleep in a bed void of softies!! i have a real cute pink heart shaped pillow, a cute monkey, a big tweety and a beautiful Candy gal!!

Wen i had gone with my parents to Germany, i fell in love with this big cute monkey. My mom objected to my dad buying it as it was expensive.. I was not a fussy gal so i just dismissed him out my mind. We returned 6 months before my dad did!! So we had gone to pick up my dad wen he returned.. As he walked out of the airport, there it was .. my cute monkey tugged in my dad's hands.. i ran to him and hugged the monkey instead of my dad .. ha ha ha

So well after that, i have never lost this crave for softies!!! For every birthday till now, i have always ended up getting atleast 2 softies :) My bed back home is over crowded!! :D

They are like my friends forever!! I hug them wen i feel lonely. They comfort me wen i am upset!! They cheer me up wen i feel down.. And wen i am happy, they pep me up even more !!

I am never old for them :) Cant get enough of them :)
Luv u my softies !!

ROBIN COOK - THE MAN

Am not sure how many of u have read Robin Cook's novels!! If u havent, go grab one right now!! Esp . if u are someone who likes medical fiction, U R IN FOR A TREAT!! I started reading his books when i was 15. My first novel COMA was a real thriller.. i was so excited and captivated; i worshiped him!! Ever since, i have read all his books right wen they were out in Landmark. There are so many exciting things in medicine that i wud have never learnt abt if not for him ..
The way the books are written - u cant put them away until u r done !!
With his expertise and extensive knowledge, he preys on our deepest fears..

He is my all time favourite!!!
