A thousand flirts!

There are a thousand of them,
they come close to me,
they talk to me
and remind me how beautiful life can be

In all hues and colours they come
and in rhythms and beats
i love many of them
i flirt, through the day

Dabbling between various kinds,
at home, in office and while i move around
some dance in sync and drive me wild
so much, that I get drunk on them

But only some stay
and whisper in my ear all night
and play with me through the night

And in the middle of the night,
when i rest in peaceful slumber
they leave as quietly as they entered my mind
and slip away in the dead of the night

Very few remain, all through the night
to arouse me in the morning
and these, lovely ones, make it to the list on the right :)

The life I want to lead :)

So nice it is,

Had a fairly useful week, personal, professional, private yada yada yada
And I did not skip the gym any weekday
Had four meetings yesterday with friends and PBPs. Sooper it was. And yes I realized that the moonlight is cool and sunlight is warm :)
And that the company's measurement criteria along with the world's most valued brand is a sooper combination, anytime :)

And today is Sunday, lazy day, happy mind, happy people,
amma cooking special stuff for the family friends while I make the phone calls to all concerned, read of human bondage, listen to "Sunday songs" on the newly refurbished comp, appa reads the newspaper and watches India lose to Australia, I wait for the lovely lunch, the lovelier siesta and the eggy evening at N's place with Sw and Meg.

It is that nice lazy sunday that is so needed to soothe the nerves, relax the mind and make you feel all nice and yellow like below

It is the life that I so want to live :)

Inspiration

It is often said that you become like the company you keep :)
And I so realized it today.

There was this senior guy from an allied practice at work who came and spoke. And man-o-man I am so bowled over. Energy, passion, intelligence and sharpness. After being partner in a very reputed consulting firm for a long time, the man goes and becomes executive advisor to the college drop out who sells computers and then sets up entire operations in a South East Asian country and now sells computers here. Too much I say, the guy is tremendous.

But what matters more to me is that after so long someone was able to get me thinking again, about what it is that I am doing in my life, why I am becoming one of those dull energyless boring creatures. I am constantly fighting the complacence that is building in, but today's talk was the kick that I needed the most and if not anything else, the raw passion and urge to do what I want to do is back again :)

Thanks a ton, Kingan Happyan! Thanks so much!

People are all that matter

I met A's girl A for coffee today.
Sitting under Barista's orange chatri and sipping cold coffee, alternately watching the fountain and the planes that land from up close, I realized again that all we need is a simple life with the amount of amount to sustain a life style you want. She agrees with what I think. She said all I want is a simple life, there is no meaning to the madness of working. It is pointless to work, beinig away from people you want, from the life you want, all just for money, which is never earned but only spent.

There was sadness in the beautiful girl's eyes. She simple misses A too much. Papa ya, 6 years they have been off together and now A wants to make money out of a job that he was interested in and now bored of. They need to be together. I can't see them not be together. Their being together makes all the madness in their world worth it! Aye A, find that bengaluru jaab no? whatsay?

Whats the problem with long hair?

I am growing my hair long, I want a pony tail.
I have received numerous threats, comments pleads to cut it, from "Yuck it looks horrible, cuuuuuuuuut it" to "Please kaNo putta, haircuttige hogu", from "Yappa, saaku ninna avataara, hogI cut maadsu koodalnaa" to amma pleading with me to cut my lovely locks :)

But the best was when Unmarried Assamese concoction said "I am not meeting you with long hair, as a principle I don't meet guys with long hair"

What karma! We are not seeing each other, I am not going to a party as her date and I am not meeting a prospective groom for her such that she may be judged by the friends and may be embaressed. But nahi, madam is not happy with my long hair. By principle, she wont meet me :)

I am smart too, I told her "I don't by principle meet fat girls (she said she has crossed her own limits)" :D

Somethings never change - Thank God

I met an old friend yesterday, we spent 2 terms of a dreadful course together and it would have not been as much fun, if not for him.

I met him, he is this hot shot i-banker now, but he is still the same. Wears the same stupid clothes and comes and eats at restaurants, nice classy ones, in stupid bathroom slippers and bermudas. And yesterday I was expecting him to do that and he did just that.

The talk was as peaceful and nice as ever. Guess somethings never change and I am glad that they don't.
