Its nothing really!

Lately I've been smiling for no reason .. I'm known to do that when things in my life are perfect... well almost perfect. Well every time I'm on facebook ..someone or the other is uploading pictures with their significant other.. is it me or people have suddenly become really open about their personal lives. So why wasn't I told about this public event.. did it happen overnight... I guess not. Well that can mean only one thing.. I've crossed over to the "age group". The group in which your colleagues... school friends... college friends.. common friends ..best friends.. knowns..unknowns decided its TIME.
I have no reason why I should not be happy for them .. hell if I were in their place I would be yelling out from a roof top .. even better tweeting or fbing about it!! But mera number kab ayega!!
I'm still waiting for the right wave... and when I'm on it, its gonna be one hellova ride!!

The priceless pieces of junk

I know the picture could have been a lil better but hey ... I never said I was a photographer!!
Earlier in the day I was triggered to search for something I thought I'd lost ..and I came across my jewelry box. I was horrified looking at how all the necklaces were entangled with stuff that wasn't supposed to be there in the first place!! It needed a lil straightening up... so I started cutting off the useless threads and one by one I unraveled each piece. I kept trying to find a matching pair of an ear ring.. or to figure out how the hell did these two necklaces get tied together. As I went on... they all start making a connection with me. The broken beads which were later replaced...plus an extra pair just in case.. the sea green necklace my mommy bought me... my most expensive birthday watch.. the stuff I bought while taking a stroll at linking road.. thabo.. the dog tag that was a promise that we'll remain friends forever.. the bracelet that my best friend made for me.. it represented every phase of my life and the choices I made in selecting bad jewelry :-p I know.. crazy right.

Reality Check..

Life does funny things to ya... since last week I had decided to look my best while stepping out or at least make an effort to be more pleasant looking. Just a week later, I pull out my new pair of jeans. They were out of the dryer sitting in the shelf neatly folded with a sign.."Pick me Pick me". Here we go..after a lot of pulling and breathing in.. I give up. Then she comes knocking at the door.. janu aren't you getting late... I pop my head out of the door and say.. I DON'T FIT IN MY NEW PAIR OF JEANS ANYMORE. My world comes tumbling down... and then she adds.. I think the jeans must have shrunk since you washed it! Phew.. relief eh. But deep inside I know that the pizza and quesadillas.. are doing one hellova job!! Then she asks me the most horrifying question.. why are you wearing just stockings everyday.. its snowing heavily!! Yeah .. you are damn right ..that is how I feel!!

p.s. I blame the washing machine!!!!

Patience is a Virtue ... really ?

Patience is a state of endurance .. true. I personally used to think that I was pretty close to attaining enlightenment but something changed. I felt anger and trust me its really difficult to get me angry. If you think I'm giggling and smiling all the time .. that isn't a facade. I do have my share of background processes .. but that's acceptable I guess. It was really important for me to find out what really ticks me!! The answer lies in the life I've lived. I know..sounds cliche.. but things that have bothered me in the past .. I've managed to push them out ..knowingly or unknowingly.
The question is how long and how much can one tolerate?
No one tells you when its the perfect time to break the silence, resort to other means, retaliate. When do we draw the line when it comes to tolerance. I think I'm pretty high up there but try not to get on my wrong side.

The right side,
