Dearest Sis....
Nice to hear from you after a looooooong time of silence.....(no mails) :))) yea had a good time at Bangkok...during one of the days we partied hard till 3.00 am and shopped but not much...went to some night show out there (wink) with ppl who were safe to go with....hehehehee...did several water sport activities out there...like went underwater - fed the fishes, did parasailing and went on a water scooter ride in Pataya coz Bangkok as you said is similar to Bombay....and as soon as we came we had to work work and work....so much WORK! and utni hi gaali sunni padti hai....aaaaaahhhhhh! One of those days....and we as sensitive as we ever will be....feel hurt and dejected and all that...which shdnt be like that....really...cant take it in our stride all we feel is we have committed a sin by doing a mistake...sometimes you wish you were strong and let things go off...
And especially in a place wher eI work where you have lot of women and all that...its quiet competitive...and sometimes you feel you are lost...coz there are lot of ppl with double standards ppl whom you think you can trust share some views and opinions....but NO one fine day you are WRONG...your perception against the whole thing changes...there are sharks in the sea rather than those small cute lil fishes that I fed underwater....and all they want to do is eat up eat up eat up.......
SIGH! am just fed up...guess I need a break from all these ppl out here...sometimes I feel am not cut out to stay in this kind of world...but then thinking of ppl like you, dad is, mom is....my frnds out there...you feel all is not lost...there are still some left to care for you...but guess thats world so got to live...fight and survive everything that it has got to offer you...maybe thats what makes us better human beings...and brings the best out of us....:)

Whoa! That seems like lot of gyan that I mailed you....:)))) looks like just a week teaches you a lot of stuff....hehehehe...Yea Alps told me that you will be visiting London...hope you had good fun...they will leave for Rajkot tomm...for Janmashtmi...

Nywayz...you take care...Dont worry abt us....

Loads of luv and luc

Put The Glass Down

A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stressmanagement. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience,"How heavy do you think this glass of water is?" The students'answers ranged from 20g to 500gm."It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on howlong you hold it.If I hold it for a minute, it is OK.If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm.If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance.It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it,the heavier it becomes."If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we willnot be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasinglyheavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest fora while before holding it up again.We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can berefreshed and are able to carry on.So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden ofwork down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it uptomorrow.Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let itdown for a moment if you can.Pick it up again later when you have rested.Rest and relax. Life is short, enjoy it!~Author Unknown~

It is sometimes so strange that we seem to never learn from our own mistakes....I mean inspite of falling down hard and I mean really hard....we still go and bang our head where it does not belong....or maybe for that matter we have become too used to getting ourselves hit that we just want it ....maybe can say its a 'sadisitic addiction' :)) well let's not consider the world in the kind of obesessions or policies I have in life...or towards the world. Or the kind of outlook I have...coz no matter how cool or no matter...how unpreturbed you happen to appear above the surface it clearly does not reflect...Its just too difficult to hide those emotions....coz if you are sensitive downright...its not going to help at all..

So the best way would be tooooooooo.....Just let things be as they will be....No Hassle....as they say 'Free Your Mind'.....and as my dear friend Jehadi says...."Clear your mind of mechanisms'...which reminds me that I still can visualise his face....with a gleeful smile on his face telling to just have fun....go ahead and have fun...forget the world forget about the people around you....

I mean his expressions are like 'Have fun Strictly' :))) yea....that sounds much better...Fun Fun Fun and more fun.....thats the code word....or maybe I need to start playing like 'Whats the word for the day?' Fun Fun Fun....try all the words or synonymns which have something like fun....smile, happy, gleeful, enjoy, party, chirpy, bubbly, laugh laugh laugh.....cool maybe I can just make a song out of the whole thing....:)) there is another smiley....

And there will be more only if I choose to.....

Till then have fun...
Keep smiling
Oh I got another word CHEERFUL...hehehehehee....

Will keep laughing
