Good and bad together

Life is like that

Of late, I’ve been bragging how good my life is. Well, it still is.

Understanding boss, co-operating team, challenges that keep me enthusiastic, all keep me in a good note. Did I tell you that I’m pursuing a six sigma certification? If not, you know now.

Personally too, it is going good – at least so far. Going to sister’s house on weekends and having good food really does good.

Then why am I whining? No, I’m not whining. Some events trigger nostalgic moments. Though it has been more than two years since I came back from Belgium, many events, places and faces are still so fresh in me. That is the trouble! Not that I want to forget them.

I was watching, ‘Autumn in New York’ the other day. It was a movie that I enjoyed so much sitting next to a pretty gal, eating chips and sipping ‘Coke’. That moment was so pleasant that when I watched it this weekend, I was transported back in time.

I’m reading ‘A walk in the woods’ by Bill Bryson. In a humorous way, he describes his adventurous walk on the Appalachian Trail, a hiking trail on the east US. While reading through, I feel like taking my back-bag and go on a trip, as I did in Italy or in Germany or…you get it.

So that is what I’m going through now. But, as they say: that is life.

Few quotes that I liked

Timepass

“The great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.”
– Victor Hugo

“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.”
– Thomas Szasz, The Second Sin, “Personal Conduct”

Warning: Women can be dangerous to your brains, genitals, current account, confidence, razor blades and good standing among your friends.

Sometimes on the way to what’s supposed to happen, something even better happens.

Every society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers. ~ Mignon McLaughlin

In Chennai

Life is like that, Travel

I’m Chennai today and tomorrow. I came here to attend a wedding of a friend of mine. For those who know me, it might be a surprise that I took efforts to attend a function. That is because he is the only one with whom I’m in touch with for the past 10 years. Anyway, I feel good that I came here and attended the function. I decided to stay one more day so that I could visit few other friends.

Kick-start journey

Life is like that, Nothing official about it, Travel

If it was ‘making friends’ last year, this year I’ve decided to make as much travel as possible. In fact, I’m blogging this entry just after an exciting journey to Malpe beach on the west coast of India.

We started on Friday (6th) night and reached Malpe on Saturday. After breakfast, we left for St. Mary’s island. Then in the evening we went to Kaup beach. In the night there was disco with bonfire. We started our journey back on Sunday and we reached midnight.

Will post photos and a longer version soon.

Wishing you a good year ahead

Life is like that

This year has been good to me. I started the year in disappointment, tears and heart-ache. But I’m finishing the year exactly opposite – satisfied, happy and excited. I cannot recollect days when I was content. I’d been happy, but not content. Now I’m.

I want to thank my friends and family for this. Without their support/help, I wouldn’t have come thus far.

I wish you, my readers – (being a private blog, readers are mainly friends & family), a happy year ahead.
