disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover. "

The genius called A.R. Rahman..

I have to tell you this..
Have been listening to the song "Masakali" from Delhi 6 since yesterday..
Put it on 'Repeat' mode on my iPod today.. and kept listening..
Its awesome!!

Even after repeated listening, I can't even remember half of the lyrics...
But its a sure fire HIT!!
God bless Rahman..

So if u havent yet heard it yet, here u go.. Happy listening!!

Its the most wonderful time of the year...

Well I am not exactly referrring to Chinese New year.. I do wish all Chinese people happiness and prosperity this new year.. But for me, I am headed home.. Yippeee!!
I don't even know how I managed six months here in Singapore... but it was not that bad as I had thought it would be...
Can't really believe that I am finally going for my first vacation to India..!!!
Well, all my resolutions have gone for a toss, what with me being on a shopping spree, have forgotten about most of the resolutions I had made...
Just putting down some thoughts today, as I really won't be able to blog for some time now...
Its gonna be very hectic, but India is calling...

Some things I have to do when back in India:
  • Taste mom's cooking.. after a long time...
  • Gorge on Chaat and Gol-gappe... well Raj does a decent job, but nothing to beat the local chaat wali shop.. :)
  • Well everything seems to be realted to eating.. was kind of craving for Makki ki roti and sarson ka saag too...
  • Have long chats with cousins...
  • Get to play with my sis' latest bundle of joy.. His name is Joy, and he is already 3 months old..
  • Flaunt my really fashionable pullovers.. I don't even need a full sleeved t-shirt here..
  • And lastly, do loads of shopping... :))

Words fail me.. I am too excited I guess... Coming up next - account of the India trip... :)

Ciao!!

Resolution time...

Happy New Year Everyone!!...

Contrary to beliefs that New year resolutions are harmful for one's health, I decided to still go ahead and set a few (achievable) goals for myself...

The making part is easy.. the dificulty is in keeping them..

Its like a ritual, I think up a few resolutions for myself, then some 2-3 months down the line I don't even remember them.

Maybe I should set them and take them up one at a time... Worth a shot!!

So, here goes...

  • Be happy...

  • Exercise atleast thrice a week (any form of exercise is acceptable.. window shopping is not an exercise...)

  • Eat healthy (I had this nailed last year too, had it not been for the completely bizarre end to 2008)

  • Travel at every possible opportunity...

  • Sleep early.. Rise early.. (This is the most difficult!!)

  • Get in touch with an old friend/relative every fortnight... (You know everyone.. but don't keep in touch enough..)

  • Reduce clutter.. throw/delete stuff (I can't hold on to everything.. mails have to be deleted, things have to be removed from my hard disk, stuff has to be thrown away from drawers, cupboards.. one just can't hoard everything..)

  • Laugh more...

  • Blog more often.. well I did revive the blog recently.. Hope I can keep it alive!!

I realize I might not achieve everything all at once, but I am surely not going to give up.. I have put up lots of post-its with the resolutions written on them on my bedroom wall.. :)

Wish me luck!!
