Thought for the day...

Life is far too rich and interesting to stay in the same spot

Inauspicious date?...

There's something about July 26...
If last year was Mumbai, this year was Delhi's turn. The rain gods just lashed out... and how!
The aftermath of the rain was quite obvious...waterlogged streets, traffic jams, uprooted trees, etc. etc. Another evening like this, and Delhi can give Mumbai a run for its money!

A new take on an old idiom....

Came across this book the other day titled "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride". Besides the point that it was an MB and therefore, really corny(!), it got a chain of thought going, which ended up with an autobiographical type of idiom:

"Always a girl pal, never a girlfriend!"

At Crossroads...

There is a sense of déjà vu – Beneath the semblance of normalcy associated with everyday living, there exists extreme chaos and disorder.

Life has come a full circle in the last one year… am exactly where I started off last July. Ofcourse, am probably a little less dreamy-eyed and not as naïve as I was at this time last year.
Different options staring at me – as they were last time around. Decisions need to be made quickly but the confusion and uncertainty, and of course the disappointment from last time prevents me from even thinking about it. Have already ventured down a particular path only to be
Follow the path that I had started down on a year back? If I do that, I will probably risk all the heartache and disillusionment of dreams being unfulfilled.

Or change directions and go down a much safer path? Not that success is guaranteed in the latter… and there’s the risk of becoming dissatisfied in the long run.

Wish there was an easy answer… wish there was a simple way to figure this out. But then again, maybe the answer is simple… maybe I am overcomplicating things.
