A dream and then an awkward silence!

I was tired watching TV for such a long time that I din't realise when I had dozed off on that cozy leather bean bag with a blanket. I had been watching all the New Year Eve programs on the idiot box since 9 pm.


And then lo! I had a dream. I usually do not dream.


It was a maze of faces. Everyone I knew in life. Well... Almost... Each face appeared before me in the chronological order of their appearance in my life. Family, friends, classmates, teachers, crushes, acquaintances and even some regular shop-keepers. I know it sounds strange. But I did see and recognize most of the faces. And each face had an expression or something to tell me.


I was trying to reply frantically but just couldn't seem to have the energy or time justifying what I had to say. It was all a frenzied maze of faces. And then I woke up all startled and with a strong pain in my head.


And a very awkward silence!

Au Revoir 2008

It was a very nice X'mas start this year. I attended the midnight mass at St. Patrick's Church with some friends. Of course the guys were having a good time looking at all the pretty damsels around. And why not? It was like a platter of all the good food in the world. :)


2008 was a very fast year. So quick that at times I felt I was dreaming. And I wished it was just a dream. Lots of nice things to cherish and equally bad ones too to be forgotten. Yeah... I do have my share of resolutions too for the new year...


Prayers from deep within my heart wishing that 2009 is peaceful without any turmoils and awkward silences....

Atleast try making a difference!

All the hue and cry after the Mumbai attack on 26/11. TV channels filled with updates, latest pics, people accusing each other on who is responsible for the security flaws. And amongst all these families of all the brave men who gave their lives and all the innocents who lost their lives.


Lets try making a difference at our own individual levels. It does help!


As a first step, lets make an effort to vote. www.jaagore.com is a real good initiative. I have registered myself. Please go ahead and do it.


Instead of cribbing about the bad traffic, roads and all that valuable time lost in the traffic jams of Bangalore lets participate in the car pooling initiative started by Radio One 94.3 FM and the Bangalore Traffic Police. Register yourself at www.commuteeasy.com I don't have a car yet ;)


Lets all take the pledge to follow traffic rules no matter what happens. Lets take a pledge to keep our environment as clean as possible by us.


Small things do make a lot of difference. Try it and feel happy.


Lets be happy Indians! :)

S.M.I.L.E. :D

I receive emails saying that I have won USD 750,000 in one case and USD 500,000 in some other case. And though I do know that its all fraudulent mails for a second somewhere I wished if I got even half the money...


Maybe all us wished once for such kind of a money flow to solve all our "so-called" problems.


Well... Lets be positive that one day in our life time we would get it. And continue living our sweet lives with the small problems we have.


Lets smile... And live life to the fullest!


:D

'Brain-less Syndrome'

Here I sit in front of my laptop frozen at 7 pm on a Wednesday. Frozen not because of the building's air conditioning but because my brain is missing. This is my 8th hour in the office. 6th hour in front of the laptop scramming in charts into the presentations, pulling out reports from databases which take forever to download and scrunching numbers in excel sheets. Apart from these, there are nice colleagues screaming around or attending their international official calls on speaker mode.


And all of a sudden, I feel empty. Am blank. Unable to think.


I tried calling up few friends, tried chatting to few others but in vain. Everybody seems to be busy or bored. Or maybe they just are not interested to talk to me. I even tried whiling away some time 'orkutting', 'facebooking'. But again, in vain. I had a boring day. First the office cab was late by 10 minutes in the morning. Followed by the 'eternal' traffic jammed roads to reach office. Thank God I don't have to drive or ride. And then the rest of the day in front of this dumb machine. Phew!


Sometimes I just want to run away to places like Goa or Payyanur (my hometown in Kerala). Why? Because 'I need a break!' Don't you guys identify with me? Am sure yes.


Such an artificial life here with the 'Brain-less Syndrome' hitting upon time and again! Please do let me know if someone has a cure for this.
