I-openers

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
~Lao Tzu

I have never understood how people decipher what life wants out of them, how they have concrete answers to where-do-you-see-yourself-ten-years-from-now clinchers.

I hate lying at times like these, I hate making up stuff that fits the bill (theirs of course) i know, i THINK so atleast, i ll be a b-school grad... earning some fat paycheck somewhere someplace...

Is lack of certainity defined as not knowing where one is headed (a mindset that most definitely irritates certain people, though they wish well, I know)

I dislike being caged in by monotony. I dislike routine watching over me...

I cannot be tied down, I am like the piece of paper that flew out of my hand yesterday evening from the terrace; the piece of paper that swayed with the gentle breeze, to and from, up and down, tracing a path very haphazard ...

I want my obituary to read "We do confirm that she no longer is with us, though mind you, there is absolutely no guarantee she went straight to heaven (as is the norm).She was always a drifter. Period."

Humor

This word has a lot of importance in my life - or for that matter for most of us. So much so that every time i have a hearty laugh i end up with tears in my eyes.

Talking of humor i read this series of elephant jokes somewhere and believe me i laughed long and hard, not cause they were humorous but cause they were downright silly. Take a moment off guys, remove ur socks and sit back... read this series at a strech and fast (you will surely enjoy it !!)

CAUTION : the content is silly, long and doesnt make any sense - dont try to reason :-)

Q: How do you shoot a pink elephant?
A: First you bake a cake, and put 3 raisins on top, then you take it out in the jungle where the pink elephant will find it, and you wait. Eventually the elephant comes along, finds the cake,eats the raisins and throws the cake away. Then you go home and bake another cake and put 2 raisins on top, take it out in the jungle where the elephant will find it. The elephant comes along, finds the cake, eats the 2 raisins and throws the cake away. You go home and bake another cake and put only one raisin on it. Then you trek back into the jungle and put the cake where the pink elephant will find it. The elephant comes along eats the raisin, and throws that cake away.Now you go home and bake another cake, but (here's the sneaky part) you don't put any raisins on it. You take it out into the jungle where the elephant will find it and lie in wait. The pink elephant comes along and finds the cake, he gets SO mad that there aren't any raisins on it, he turns red, then you jump on him, strangle him until he turns blue......and you shoot him with a BLUE ELEPHANT GUN!!!

A NEW BEGINNING!

I dont know why I opened a blog.... Its about 2 am, and am not feeling sleepy.

I am still wondering as I type...what am I doing...Why I am doing this...What am I going to do with this....

Most great things in my life started with a similar beginning....I am not known to stay on with one thing for long...except for a few things that have begun like this...

But I know I am enjoying as I type... As I go thru this “expression”...That I realise I am connecting to myself...

In a busy hurry-bury life...most random thoughts and feelings are either hurried or buried...never recorded to be reflected upon.... or expressed to be impressed upon...

May be the novelty of me connecting to myself has allured me to open this blog...How long this will go on... Time will definitely tell…

Today was a mixed day... hope and hopelessness occupied me alternatingly...pushing me back and forth from akinesia to hyperactivity...from depression to certitude.... I hope I can overcome!!! I know i have to, i can clearly vision my aim now -> to bell the CAT. Last year was just touch and go at 98.33 %ile... Those who have the same vision, can understand how close that was... But but but! The hope of a brighter tomorrow... thats what sustains life... right!

Finishing the day with hope is a gift... inspite of the Ups and Downs of the day that just rested...

Ofcourse this is a new beginning..... ya ya all beginnings are new but this is "THE" NEW beginning...!!
