Memories

When somebody 'shares a memory' on fb, I always think of glass vials, silvery threads and pensieves.  (All HP fans raise your h(w)ands!)

Nostalgia

When we are living some moments, we think or at least hope that there will be many more of them. But the truth is we don't know what we have already done for the last time, who we have already met for the last time...

Assets

Image
Mental clarity is one of the most underrated assets.

Can I get a like?

Image
My friends love my Facebook life. And I, theirs. Do we like each others' real lives though ?

Mothers

Image
My mother is a blackhole of objectivity. (because when it comes to her babies, she is all emotions and no objectivity.)

6 years

At times after falling to ashes, rising is the only option. At times what burns us, fuels us.

Clean-up

Rooms, cupboards, friendlists, phonebooks, mind, heart, thoughts, perspectives... Once in a while, everything requires a review or a clean-up. You never know what's gone unnoticed and is lurking in the back.

Shanghai, I love you.

Because I love who I am when I am here...

Pedestal

Problems arise when we keep trying to put people on a pedestal and they keep reminding us that they are only human.

Times, they are a-changing.

Log, waqt aur mausam badalte der nahin lagti. People, time (situation) and weather can change quickly and often, without notice.

Laugh out loud

When you laugh in the face of adversity, there will be some that will pull you down because they lack this strength/maturity. You should laugh out loud anyway.

Just joking!

There is an ounce of truth in every pound of 'just joking'. ;)

A love-hate relationship

Six years ago on this day I had joined Evalueserve.  Six years ago on this day Lehman Brothers had filed for bankruptcy. All we joked about was how, when the news spread, someone in FS group had pinged our COO (intending to ping his namesake) "B*****d sutta maarne chal!"  So much has changed and so much hasn't. It is a Monday again.  Some amazing people, some not so much. Some awesome days, some not so much. A love-hate relationship :)

Boredom

"Hypocrite, boredom sets into a boring mind." - Metallica

Life doesn't get sarcasm.

Whenever I think, "This is too easy, what could possibly go wrong with it."... Life takes it as a challenge. :/

Bootstrapping

Image
to bootstrap (v.) to start a self-sustaining process that is supposed to proceed without external input.  Many a times in life we need to pick ourselves up... (Remember, you can use your shoe laces :D)

Time

Image
Was enjoying the music when I realized Pardes came out 17 years ago and Taal came out 15 years ago!!?! *I feel you Joey!*

Happiness

We think, a soulmate, success, money, car and houses will bring us happiness, when really...... It's the other way around. Have a happy morning!
