Weekend Blues!

Monday Morning! Ooph! Shucks!! Office….Why do weekends end even before I realize..??????????
Guess, as one grows older, ‘forgetfulness’ also grows. Atleast it does with me! I tend to forget even the most simplest of things. Many things come to my mind in a flash, at different points of time in the day and I am like ‘Shucks, I have got to do that too’!

So just to keep up with this busy life, I started habituating myself to penning down things to do in a book, and it evolved into having a book at home and one at office! ‘To do’ List!

This sounds very easy isn’t it? But it was not for me..as I used to forget to look at the book! Now how do I remember that!! Then I started keeping the book in a place which am bound to access. And this seemed to be helpful….

But..what literally is happening is the ‘TO DO’ list just keeps getting bigger as I just do some 25% of the things am supposed to. Because, when weekend approaches, I automatically get lazy and keep postponing many of the planned things. and it literally accumulates till I decide to have it done the next weekend!
Next weekend comes with an extended list and now the ‘To do; list works like a ledger balance ..”Opening items+ new items-items attended =Closing items”!!Ooph…

Laziness has crept into me like never before. Just literally feel like doing nothing!! And when the weekend ends, I m like ‘ what the hell did I do?..I could have done this..that’…God ! this is another form of weekend blue in addition to ‘Oh god! Its Sunday evening,..”

Atleast, penning down has helped me to feel free of the burden of remembering too many things.Now, I just relax. Looking at the book every now and then has built into a habit and I chose to do things whenever I feel like. Atleast I don’t miss things.

This weekend has ended with a carry forward list which I plan to do next weekend!........But this weekend I look forward to Monday ..you know why???? Tuesday is holiday ! Christmas!....Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jab..I watched..

Jab We Met....

I fell in love with Shahid..!!!!

Was wondering from the moment I left the cinema hall...why don't such guys come into my life!!! what a catastrophe !!!.....and of all Kareena leaves this man for some other...Gosh! She is crazy...

Anyways...am not writing another article on who left whom for whom and if they did right!..one has 'n' number of articles to read/see on newspapers,internet sites,news on this aspect!

"Jab We Met" is definitely a refreshing movie, not for the storyline, which is really nothing 'outstanding' but for watching 'them' together. The story has been portrayed beautifully and the couple are at their best. It was like seeing real chemistry on reel! It is just very natural..Atleast I felt so and so did all the movie reporters who gave their reviews in newspapers (Be it, Hindu, Express,Chronicle or Times). I fell in love with Shahid and could not just take my eyes of him...I wonder how much of Kareena or dialogues I concentrated on....

The film definitely has lot of positive vibes flowing through and could inspire one at points where kareena says "I love myself completely" or where she makes a point on 'better to be positive, happy at the moment, then worry about tomorrow which is not in our control anyways!'
The scene at the lodge is classy!, the dialogues are quite witty....A gr8 package!

The things to look for in the movie are,
...Shahid Kapoor- grown from a small thiny college guy to a small 'quite' a muscle built, matured
guy.A very pleasant looking,smart guy I tell you.
... His 'nazars', 'matured talk' , his SMILE...Gosh every thing he does was captivating for ME
atleast :)
....For all Melody lovers - "tum se hi" and " Aaoge jab tum" r the pickers
....The sweet kiss in the last
....The 'Am there for you' scenes
....The 'I can't tolerate your chatter' looks by Shahid
....The 'I love you..really like you...but..' looks of Shahid
....The 'Smiles of Shahid.....when Kareena just doesn't know what she is doing or saying
---and many more of such!

Hmmm...I liked it obviously for all above reasons :)...
I feel its worth a watch once atleast. Girls will agree with my above comments.
Guys!..Kareena is just about ok!So, don't know what you may like in this...

Office humor!

A man joined a big Multi National Company as a trainee.
On his first day, he dialed the kitchen and shouted into the phone: "Get me a cup of coffee, quickly!"

The voice from the other side responded: "You fool, you've dialed the wrong extension! Do you know who you're talking to ?"

"No" replied the trainee.

"It's the Managing Director of the company, "you idiot!"

The trainee shouted back : "And do you know who YOU are talking to,you IDIOT ?"

"No!" replied the Managing Director angrily.

"Thank God!" replied the trainee and put down the phone.

Woman!...does anyone understand?

Woman's aspirations,feelings,habits,thoughts,ambitions,dreams....are they to be forgotten post marriage????..plse read below...the FACT.
.."Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;

Who is earning almost as much as you do;
One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements;

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as,

Much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who,

Love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that, includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise;

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some;

And trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many people understand this... Well... Give it a thought now!! !!!!!!!!!! "
Things have moved into a better scenario in the current world, however the country has a long long way to go in realising that 'marriage' requires not only the support of each other and respect for each other in every walk of life but also the understanding that with a proper understanding, a matured, sensible and reasonable outlook, neither of them need not make any major sacrifices.
Probably then, 'marriage' would be viewed as a positive and happy sign and people will start embracing it more willingly.

Heart and Mind matters, not distance

An old man lived alone in a village. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation: Dear Son,I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison. Love,Dad.
Shortly, the old man received this telegram: "For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the GUNS!!"At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns. Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next. His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best I could do for you from here."

Moral:

''NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON.''

We always blame distances for all the things we cant do for our loved ones . If one has the will to really do something and it is something he/she wants to do it whole heartedly , then they can achieve it no matter what the distance.It may be a major limitation most of the times, but right communications at the right time take a front seat at that time as it will atleast let other people know you care!

Always do your best before blaming it on distance or for that matter FATE/DESTINY.There are limitations in life, and distance does play a major role, but one should not blame the limitations completely even before having attempted anything!

Something for us to follow....

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
