Most of the times we say "anything is ok to me" to make things simpler and easier for the other person , but seldom realise it might put the other person in extremely difficult situation to choose on our behalf.

Destiny

2008-01-23T08:35:25Z

Most of the times when we are in deep sorrow we say "it's our destiny.Nothing can be done about it" .Well, Is destiny controllable or uncontrollable?? well its a big discussion all together.. my brother and I have such philosophical discussions daily these days.. this was one such thing we were talking about.. when browsed for quotes this is something that caught my attention...

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped ” - Anthony Robbins

“It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.” - Anthony Robbins

well, have i become philosophical off-late?? :-) I was always philosophical!!!
But i am surprised that my brother is also Philosophical and at times amazed to see that i am his replica!!!!

TRUST!!

2008-01-22T11:00:25Z

I'd rather not trust someone and be proved wrong, than trust someone and find out I've been lied to......

I dont know what i am writing!

God plssss help me shut my mouth and not blurt out non value added things which puts me into trouble.......
I need to lean out my talking stlye :) or may be add many more filters....
Time to apply Lean Six Sigma here.... hmmmm overdose of LSS in office....

Marriage :))

2007-06-25T08:12:13Z

"So what dyu think marriage really was?
Just buying expensive sarees , shopping tons of gold, posing for photos on the stage,getting all the attention from ppl around??
Well dear, its just a cover for the marriage package..
Once you slowly start tearing the cover you really know what marriage is :)"

This is what my husband had to say when i was throwing a tantrum when the mixie stopped working early in the morning :))

PS: Ppl who have decided to marry pls dont be scared ;-)

Its just the Beginning!

2007-06-05T12:55:53Z

Whenever i claimed to myself that , say for example "I have lot of patience" or "I never get angry " or for that matter any Behavioral aspect...
God has always tested me on that!!
Not surprisingly i have failed many a times..
After few days when i introspect i realize that i am not actually what i think i am !!!
And i think i am self aware!!!! phew!
Hmmm most of the times what we think we are , is actually what we want to be and not what we really are!

PS:Hope ppl reading this don't get confused! I am Not :))

He he :))

Wow... 3 months since we got married!!
Feels real good... :)As my hubby is not here, i thought its going to be just another day today... But NO :)

It began with the door bell ringin and waking me up from a sound sleep .. This is my daily alarm to wake up :)..Its usually my maid.. but when i opened it wasnt her but the milk guy asking if i needed coupons... hmmm said no.. came back and hit the bed..

Door bell rings for the second time.. i thought its got to be my maid this time and opened the door... Again it wasnt her!!!

But it was the flower delivery guy with a bunch of roses... WOWWWWWWW...
No bounds for my joy.. it was really sweet of my hubby to send them..
What a surprise!!...Never ever expected atleast this time....He made my day..
Thanks a ton dear....You really made my day!!

I simply love these quotes :)

Cell phone

2007-03-29T10:12:59Z

A very unfortunate Day .. Lost my cell Phone..
wouldnt have been feeling so bad if it was not given to me by my brother...
That cellphone was his favourite.He had taken care of it like a baby...No exaggeration...while he was leaving for sailing ,he gave it to me and was so skeptical about how i would take care of it... reason being i have this habbit of dropping things.. butter fingers.. :((

So scared to break the News to him :((

I am scared now.. I lost my debit and credit card few days ago and now this one...

Egomaniac

2007-03-29T09:41:14Z

The rules of this meme are:

1. Leave me a comment saying, "I too am an egomaniac."
2. I respond by asking you five questions. You will answer them, because you like talking about yourself.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

So now I get to answer questions from Shubhangi_mj and talk about myself :)

1)Describe yourself in 3 words!
Helpful , Fun-loving , Sporty

2) What is the best part of your married life?
There are so many things. It’s a good feeling when I know there is somebody always there for me.there's someone whom i can Trust... There’s someone with whom I can talk anything on the earth… there’s someone who takes care of me , who makes me feel special ,who loves me for what I am! There’s someone who understands me and forgives all the silly mistakes I do..there’s someone who keeps me happy always.
Hmmm What more can I ask for..

Above all ;-)
There’s someone who cooks for me and assists me in cooking :P

ooops 5 mark answer aithu ansuTTae :P

3) What is the quality you look for to get close to a person....as a friend ofcourse.Elaborate on boudaries;)
she/he should take bath/brush regularly..She/he should use deodrant/perfume on a daily basis :).. Should wear clean clothes..
ok Jokes apart....
That person should win over my trust and our frequency should definitely match J. To be frank, I am not an open book and I don’t like to discuss everything with everyone. If the person understands that, it will be grt…:)

4) Have you ever felt life is very unfair on you?
No I have never felt life is unfair to me… Whenever I felt something was wrong, I always found that it was because of my very own mistakes.... So couldn't blame any1.

5) Why are you a confused soul? ;);) ;)
Grrrrhhh ....hmmm am I a confused soul??? Hmmm… am I???... hmm may be... well may be coz well....actually...hmmm….. Confused (‘?’)!! ooops

If my answers are serious... i blame the questions :P he he he

Marriage=Cooking ????

2007-03-22T06:05:46Z

The first day in office after marriage i had a long chat with my Project manager. I was so excited and was telling her about the marriage ,how it went and how life and responsibilities have changed after marriage.I was also telling her that everyday after finishing one course of cooking , i would start thinking what to cook for the next meal.. She was silently listening and then she exploded a bomb, saying when she got married ,her MIL used to tell her that "No matter how excited or how happy u r about the marriage initially ,Marriage is nothing but cooking in the long run "
Hmmm now am not sure how true that is ('.')....

Time Pass....

Your Personality is Very Rare (ESTP)

Your personality type is dominant, driven, poised, and self-aware.

Only about 5% of all people have your personality, including 3% of all women and 6% of all men
You are Extroverted, Sensing, Thinking, and Perceiving.

How Rare Is Your Personality?

Expectations!!!

Asking someone to expect less always, is a big expectation itself!!!

How You Live Your Life

You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside.

You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think.

Your friends tend to be a as quirky as you are - which is saying a lot!

You tend to always dream of things within reach - and you usually get them.

How Do You Live Your Life?

Your Brain is 46.67% Female, 53.33% Male

Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female

You are both sensitive and savvy

Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed

But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve

What Gender Is Your Brain?

Continuation........

2004-12-23T05:59:24Z

as i said here goes the continuation

Coming to "cynosure",hats off to vinu,teju,rachana for organising such an event.i had fun making the posters for the event.ppl ,don't get surprized i didn't do those lovely posters, i was just filling ,what vinu had drawn. It reminded me of my childhood days.kudos to preetham 3rd Civil(i guess),his amazing paintings was really the Cynosure.

Next came my cousins Wedding.agn here it was nice,eating good food all the time(i thnk only a hostellite would know what i mean when i say "good food").

i have started getting nightmares thinking of Studies and 8th sem projetcs.
ALL THE BEST to everyone.

There is always a long gap between my subsequent blogs.Thats 'coz i am basically a very lazy person.i enjoy reading others blogs and commenting (well i have to write here also,but its ok,its just a matter of 2 lines)

With the sports events, cynosure,inaugrals, my cousins wedding ,last 2 weeks were very eventful. it was fun playing all the games.i really owe a lot to all my teamates, without them i wouldn't have the privelege of winning in most of the games.This the only time of the semester i enjoy the max.Inaugrals this year was memorable, as i got the "best sportswoman" award during the inaugrals.i was indeed very happy,it was unexpected.i also got a cash prize of Rs.1000 for representing VTU in BasketBall.

i hate redaing long blogs. i thnk same is the case with most of them.so the continuation of this blog, i have pasted as a new blog.ha ha ha.
