…what you resist, persists.

Imagine the height of boredom(or would it be depth of boredom) that made me read my own blog. I mean i have stooped down to a level where i read my own doings and try and decipher if I am as mad as everybody says I am. Well I reached a conclusion. Rather 2 conclusions.

1. Madness is relative. Period.
2. I am a One-Liner freak.I mean wots with me n one-liners? It seems like a obsession. My ryze page has one-liners and now this. Also not to mention a few hundreds of them that I have saved on my computer. Ohh god! I need help!

Actually just happened to be too busy to blog. No time for introspection :)) as said earlier. And rgding all the resolutions well.. er… lets just not go down that road.

I dont read self help books. With all due arrogance i claim to not need them. But what do u do when an amazing (self help) book just happens to pass ur way. As in it actually sits there on your table wanting to be read. Anyways to cut the long story short I happened to read ‘The Portable 7 Habits’ by Stephen Covey. Just a few clippets here :

– If you can’t be yourself, who else can you be? And why would you want to ?

– What you resist, persists.

– While you’re struggling with the fear that it can’t be done, somebody else is doing it.

– If you have to swallow a toad, don’t stare at it too long.

– “What? There’s no door here? I’ll build one.”

There’s more but if I type it all who would read the book? 🙂

No. Its not new years… but I have a list. A looooong list of resolutions. 🙂 Whats special about this list is that I am going to follow them all… yeye!! 🙂

Here we go:

I will
— stop hogging as if there’s no tomorrow
— stop biting my nails before i have no fingers left
— keep fast on one day in a week (doesnt matter which god i end up pleasing)
— stop being lazy, stop being lazy, stop being lazy
— understand that there is no shortcut to success (as cliche as it sounds)
— keep patience and not get bored and give up immediately as soon as stuff starts to look even remotely like a failure
— stop splurging money as if i am queen of england
— stop obsessing about clothes
— stop obsessing about my figure
— stop eating sweet stuff as i do all the time all the while
— stop criticizing people and getting them to think on the negative
— stop napping at work for the risk of getting caught redhanded in the act
— follow all the above resolutions and the ones that will follow in the coming week of extensive self examination

Husband, Dhanoo n Me 

Its pouring n pouring n pouring! And I am in office grinding the usual grind. Trust me… this happens only in Mumbai. I can bet my life on this. No other city can go on n on with this kindof rains and still function with normality. Not that roads aren’t disrupted or the trains havent halted, but the show still goes on. People leap over the slush.. land safe… curse the BMC officials… and move on. 🙂

Beats me… what is it that keeps the city goin? I can almost feel the beat.. the pace at which it moves. And well.. by now u have realised I love it. 🙂 Three Cheers. For this wonderful city n all of those who make it so good.

Weekend’s come n weekend’s gone. Lot of things happened.

I thought some thoughts… then had to unthink those. New house would be way over budget. New house aaargh too expensive. New house too much of a burden. But all this makes me wonder. Isnt it all worth? Wouldnt it drive me to work harder? Do better? Debt makes you slog man! Not all would agree.. I am not sure if I do. But I want that house real bad.

This reminds me of the days when Mom did the shopping. Mom worried about the money.. the paying off.. the bills… and all such crappy things. All I ever did was dreammmmm. Wish we could live life backward. Wish life was simpler. Ohh i wish!
