Came across this blog- http://stupidindiatv.blogspot.com
I strongly recommend everyone to see this... it has to be the funniest thing I've ever read in a loonngg time :))
INDIA TV Rocks :))

Looking for some goals in life... can't seem to find something interesting or something that would enthuse me enough to forget everything else and devote my entire time to it...

The first thing I look forward to every morning when I come to office and switch on my computer- is to log into gmail and check my mails... not that I have any important world changing things to read about, but I like the few messages and forwards that I get. It somehow starts my day.

So when you log in and see 7 new messages in your inbox- you'd obviously be a little excited- ki chalo let's see what's happening with my friends and your sure to get at least a few funny forwards or jokes to lighten up your day :) But no! It's not to be... all you get are reminders from Linkedin, friend requests from Hi5, some advertisement from IndiaPLaza and some from Magic Bricks... Bas yehi sab hai aapke inbox mei.... and believe me that's such a loserish thing that the only mails that you get are advertisements???

But then suddenly- a ray of hope- there's a mail from A- a set of cartoons about the subprime crisis in the US and some Wall Street jokes.... I love A... she's the only true friend I have! God bless her :) I feel so much better after reading the cartoons and showing it to the couple of people around me in office... press the fwd link and send it to some 15 people and then finally feel relief :)

I love love stories..!
There I've said it :)
Whether they are silly romantic comedies (or Romcoms as they are commonly referred to) or SRK movies like Dil to Pagal Hai, DDLJ or Kuch Kuch Hota hai... I love reading Mills and Boon too.. and not coz they have some steamy scenes (then I'd just pick up a Sidney Sheldon).. but rather because they have sweet endings... a boy and girl meet (in a weird situation, I admit) and then they fall in love and then something goes wrong, but in the end they both admit their undying love for each other and things end happily ever after :)

It may be possible that love stories happen only in fantasy land... and even if you are one of the lucky few people who have found true love- believe it or not- that romance will fade and things will become boring and dreadful... you will have diagreements over money/children/housework.. anything... the point that I was making was that this is why I love love stories... whether they actually happen or not- i know that the novel will definitely end up with a "happily ever after.." and I like the sound of that phrase.. happily ever after... as if things are just perfect from henceforth and nothing ever goes wrong... well what's the harm in a bit of dreaming :))

The grass on the other side..

You know what pisses me off the most..? When people say things like, "you've got an easy life.." or something like, "tumhara to achha hai... baap ka business hai- jab office jana hai jao.. warna chhutti maar lo..! you're living a life of luxury..." Mera mann karta hai ki aise logon ko ek MTV style ka "one tight slap" diya jaye!

No one's life is easy.. no one has an easy life... and I for one have never felt that i've got things on a platter. I've also had to work hard for things in life... so, just 'coz I didn't take a loan for my MBA education, it doesn't mean that I didn't have other obstacles in my way... try living in a huge  family with loads of expectations from you but yet a family where girls get married at 21. Where completing graduation for girls is considered to be a formality! Where females don't work- because they're not supposed to... !!

When you work in a family business- you have to maaro that much more effort to prove yourself... because, for the person you are reporting to- you are not an IIM grad- you are their 25 yr old son/daughter and you will always remain that in their eyes! You don't have a defined role or defined objectives... you just plunge into it and swim your way around.. you don't even get a salary!!! So I am glad to say that I'm happy and very proud of whatever I am doing with my life and career and I dont need any Tom, Dick or Harry to come and tell me otherwise!

Before making statements like that, realise that different people come from different backgrounds- if you've studied under street lights and yet made it big in life- Good for you... be proud of it... But that doesn't mean that other people don't have struggles in life...! And if they actually don't have struggles- be happy for them instead of making it seem like you're the bigger individual- just coz you've had more hardships in life! 

That's all I have to say in this matter! 

Am feeling very very frustrated and loserish right now! Don't even bother asking why. I really don't know what to do and who to turn to :(

Life seems to be moving at its own pace... there are days which are sooo quiet, they seem like the lull before a storm... and then there are days when it seems like time is running out and I need to stop for breath. Sometimes I pay so much attention to just one thing that I forget all other things of importance. Your life is not only about your job, for example. It is also about family, relationships, friends, health etc.. it should be a blend of these things... Try and focus on the other smaller moments of happiness... life is not so bad.
