Fiery Garlic Bread and Broken Bones !

I felt like having a piece of garlic bread. I walked about 3 miles to the store and got them. I was gleeful at the fact that I am gonna have it as soon as I get back home. I walked back to office and finished few pending tasks bracing myself to get to home. With great pride, I picked up the shopping bags and went to the car. I chit chatted with the girl who comes to pick us up. There's no common point of discussion apart from weather and cars.:) We talked all the way till home. I bid quick good byes and raced to my room.

I took a quick shower and got ready to enjoy the yum bread. I kept the bread in the microwave. I followed the pack's instructions to the teeth. I set time for 5 mins. I got busy checking my emails. Phew ! Within two mins, the room was full of smoke. While I love the systems out here, this is something that is scary as within split seconds you would get the fire engines at your door. The alarms went on. I immediately called up the reception informing the incident. I was just hoping that the whole hotel's alarm wouldn't go off. Thankfully the guy came up fast and unlocked the windows. By that time, I was all smoky in anguish. :)

Well I decided not to touch the oven again. I decided to cook some stuff on the stove instead. I cut up the veggies and put oil in the pan. I wanted to saute the veggies. Darn ! The oil just spilled over my hand..:( I put some ice to the rescue and decided to retire for the night.

I went to get the clothes from the store room and slipped there to hurt my knee again. It looked like a spateful of events hitting me from nowhere. All hurt n bruised, I finally retired for the night with a hope that the roof doesnt fall off on me while sleeping..:)))

Hoop A La

I had been to Navy Pier today. I had a great time there. I saw these cute kids trying out the hula hoops. I stood there watching the kids for some time. I couldn't stop myself from going and trying. It does look easy but its an art that needs to be mastered. I couldn't do it for nuts..:)

There's something that came to my mind when seeing this art. Life is so similar to the hula hoop.

We groove left and right based on the situations in life. There will be times when the hoop of life will fall off but we try to hold it up with the survival skills that are mastered with time. There are times of joy when the hoop swings to our tune. There are moments of despair when it tries to fall off. A short yet meaningful analogy that I could draw from the short fun session.

Well...I am going to buy a hula hoop and master the art..:) I wish that I imbibe the same art to mah life as well...

Cheers! Happy Hula Hooping!

People reading my blog....do try this out..its a lotta fun..

Expectations...:)

Is it important in life to expect from life, your family, relationships? I would sound like a hypocrite if I say that am devoid of expectations. I try not to expect too much from life. Its so true that "Life is like a box of chocolates and you never know what you get".

They say that you will be happy when you don't expect anything out of life. I agree but as humans can we really attain that level of realization where things hardly matter. While I consciously try to avoid expecting things especially in relationships. I have been successful many a times but also have failed miserably in few instances.

It does matter in areas where you have given your cent percent yet the results doesn't translate to fit your requirements. There have been several instances at work when I would do X Y Z task thinking that its going to go through without any hiccups but then a surprise springs back which makes you realise that you are not there yet.

It can be with any relationships where you have talking, reacting in a certain manner, but then one fine day it changes. The other person reacts in a different manner and you are disturbed thinking that the person has changed. Well the reality is we have set expectations and programmed ourselves to think in a fashion that things will be constant.

But change is constant, all things have to undergo change. Change is important to help us grow as a person. Its a topic that has various shades to it. I decide to expect the goodies in life but yeah just sitting doing nothing about it won't help either. I will do my bit and leave the rest for life to unfold its mystery of expectations getting fulfilled. :)

There I go again...:)

Will the sun ever shine?

Its been raining most of the days. The weather is cold every single day. The winds blow past
and change the direction of the clouds within a wink of an eye. Life also seems to be going in
the rainy direction.


The million dollar question is will the sun ever shine ? :)

Well lemme end on a positve note, I do believe that the sun will shine on me for the years to come....:)

The Drive

She looked through the window at the horizon that was not visible. The car was steering past the roads through the curvy roads of the mountainside. The song that was playing in her mind was so apt for the drive that was going to end soon. "If I Should stay, I would only be in your way , So I'll go , But I know ,I'll think of you every step of the way And I... Will always Love you".

There were tonns of emotions running through her mind. She sat quiet wondering if it was a dream or was for real. A dream that was so close to her heart had come true but knowing that it will end soon was what stirred her up. But thats inevitable,a dream has to end for the greater good. She was going to try to live her life in these moments before her breath was taken away.

Smiling through the tears, she glanced at him to see the twinkle in his eyes.His face was shining as the star ignorant of the ramblings going through her mind. She could die a hundred deaths to see the smile on his face. He looked like a cherub full of love and grace. Humanity at its best.

They both were lost in the dreams of a dream that can only exist in a dream. The moment was like a bubble which was ready to burst any moment. The warmth of love, caring , understanding was being experienced in its totality. It brought tranquility with the wave of unrest taking her in their arms in the years to come.

All she wished was to take away all the pain suffered by him. She took the stairs in the clouds and walked upto heaven. GOD was taking a stroll in the highway called suffering. She said innocently to HIM, " Can I stay here in this highway instead can you let my friend leave and take the highway called "happiness"? HE replied " My child..go and tell your friend that"He is a shining star and the happiness truck is standing right outside his door. He needs to open his door and believe that life will be beautiful always".

They were soulmates separated by the stroke of destiny. Destiny brought them together for a moment and took them away in a split second. With a wish that the drive had never ended....

"Bittersweet Memories,

That is all I'm taking with me

So good-bye Please don't cry

We both know I'm not what you You need
I hope life treats you kind

And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness

But above all this I wish you love "

And I... Will always love you
