366 days after !!!

After 366 days, today on 31st Oct 2009 at 4.00 pm, when i think of the same day same time exactly one year before... it feels so close to heart yet so alien....

Sometimes i could still feel the pain of leaving my first company , my colleagues, my work station.... and then i could still feel the happiness of of a new job the next day, the apprehensions of new meeting new colleagues, the preparations for the first day at job....

How desparately i was looking for a change in Job, how desparately i wanted to be out of the place, but how desparately i was looking for one more chance to be with the same friends and colleagues for five more minutes in the same campus...

How it felt to write the Last Day mail..... How i had longed to write one myself when i used to see others' mail for last day.... But how bad it felt while hitting the send button...as if a part of me was getting lost somewhere.....

Gadgets !!!

When I try to focous on our lives some 10 years before , without a Cell phone...
Weren't we punctual then,
weren't we systematic then,
weren't we in touch with our friends then ?
When there were landlines only, we used to speak less and act more...
When there was a match scheduled all players used to reach on time....
When someonme didnt turn up we had no means to call up but we knew that the person must have a good reason not to turn up...
There were no mails / forwards related to "Tumours in brain after exposure to regular cell phone and radiation"
Then also young boys and gals used to fall in love and used to express love...
Noone was spendthreft when it came to calls
Noone expected you to pick the phone when they call u.. u always used to get a beenfit of doubt...
Now even when you switch off your own cell... people complain....
Patience is lost somehow...
Now there is a urgency which was never there...
Now there is an expectation that leads to sadness and frustration when we dont receive and answer or when we dont get a news from someone at the very moment....
Now we have become selfish , the I has become so important.

When I think of the only 1 TV channel DoorDarshan being aired, I cant remember me and my sis fighting for remote.
We used to be happy and satisfied with the content of the program.
We never used to do time pass with TV.
We used to socialize more, we used to have more getotgethers, we used to lsiten to others...
But now things have changed
Then 100 people used to see one channel and now 1 person is found surfing through 100 channels .
Then those 100 people used to smile and cry together now no one even bothers if u smile or cry......

Gadgets are invented to make life easier... but after having all these Gadgets do we have a life.....???

The Right Age for Marriage ???

How do you decide its the perfect time to get married....
How do you decide its late for marriage or its too early for marriage.....
Why in our society people care so much for others to comment frequently about someone else's life....
Why cant we decide ourselves when are we ready for marriage.....
Why dont people understand that not everybody thinks the same and not not everyone can be matured at the same age same day and time....
Everyone doesnot have same goals in life....
Not everyone thinks of same kind of a life partner....
Why do people after a Hello/Hi ask the very next question any Onsite or When are you getting married or any plans ...and Why do people dont end up just listening to the answer Yes/No.... Why does a NO always makes someone understand that u are not straight or u hate the other sex....Why do people eat up the only piece of brain that is functional....
Not everyone looks for advice.... then why does everyone gets advice when it comes to marriage....
I am still pondering at these questions....If u have answer (other than "people care for u") please let me know.....

If some things can be repleaced by money dont get upset !!!

" If some things can be repleaced by money dont get upset ..."

I just came across this statement and it felt so true....
Not everything can be bought by money (Reminds me of the MasterCard AD punch line "Not everything can be bought by money , for anything else there is mastercard" ) , but how often we remind ourselves of this statement....
how often with any material possession our relations gain strength and how often we become sad, we ill-treat and we yell at people with one material loss.....
When we say if things can be repalced by money we forget that we are talking about only things and not relations , memories, love , peace, happiness......
We forget that memories can never be lost and they are the real possessions not a matter or thing can replace it...
Still the attachment / bonding with the thing overpowers the attachment and bonding with the person.....
So strange .. isint it ???
