Someone send this to me...in my EMail…and after I had read it I exactly knew why we(she and me) did come in each other’s life….Read on...........it’s a Strange Truth….But something you surely can Relate to...and Once you have read it...Think about it... 
People come into your life for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON :- It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are the answer to your prayer.
They are there for the reason you need them to be and once its achieved.... without any Wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time....this person will Say or Do something to bring the Relationship to an End......Sometimes they even die.
.....Sometimes they walk away......Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

When someone is in your life for a SEASON:- Its mostly because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.!

When someone is in your life for a LIFETIME:- Its this Lifetime relationships (which I believe are your instant family and a handful of close friends) which teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. 

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant .

If there is even a slightest truth in this COSMIC ENERGY called Freinds for Reason..Season..Lifetime....then Now I understand........of all the friends I have made in so far....what was my purpose inthere life....or theres in mine....Why Some  stayed...while Some walked away.... 

This is it….I am being unreasonably...cranky................I think everyone deserve a fair trail and lead a life as they want.....We all are Responsible for our own Actions...When we walk a path that has a Dead End...why Blame the path...We could have chosen  another right from the beginning....If I am losing my Sense of Reasoning...going Insane...It is no one else but my Fault.....Yes I know Some People are Unfair...but then how many have we been Fair too...Yeah I know...Some People Use us..and Abuse us...Well but may be it is the other way around…..May be we were Using and Abusing them….and they have been taking us all this while…because they cared…the sooner we Learn…the Better for us…If you still think they are that way…then why let such people...come close to us...As of now.....My Work is important...My upcoming Projects are important…My mom is important…My brother is important…My sisters are important....Our life is Important...My closest friends are important… I am going to love them...as they are...(Although I just hope some can make some improvisation and put in more effort…)There is no point Cribbing and Crying about the Spilt Milk....All you need to do is...clean the Mess and.....Move on...or it will stains...which are stick to clean..I love you...and I dont need to be influenced by anyone...and...I love them...and I dont want anyone to tell me how I should love them..not…you..or them...Until then...

Every day in every single way we are consciously or unconsciously changing our future. What we do now is going to affect our tomorrow and of course….what we don’t do...will still be….changing it… As you read this you may think, “Oh but so obvious” but hey...Pause and just  think…things that we do knowingly, is nothing but simply planning for what we want in our lives to be like…but…on the other hand things that we don’t plan and yet they happens everyday...things that we do not…have much control on. Be it…Loosing the most valuable Gift of your life(hint hint)…or something as silly as Missing our bus to work or even….misplacing our keys or worse come worse falling sick  just before your wedding…you might just curse your fortune at that very minute...and scream and say Why me…But think again it might just be one of your most luckiest moments……moment which will shape out what is about to come…in days…months or even years…

As for now…I guess no one can be all that perfect all the time…now can they…for me...the work has been more then kind…(which to confess I cant handle anymore, it is driving me insane) but however..what ever developments that i have been doing has been doing pretty well...commercially...but unfortunately...emotionally I have been total mess…but then I must also confess to having some amazing friends…who…even though are not close…but still have been keeping a close eye on me…and have been talking some sense in my head…to you... I say thanks for just being there…and definitely thanks for listening…every time…Undeniably…it has helped me clear up…some of the misconception that I have been harboring inside me…and guess what….not completely but for sure I feel a bit Better…although the pains inside of me is fading…and I have learnt that…Pain is inevitable…Pain comes to all…Pain arises from expectations…and that Pain is the only form of  self realisation to growing and moving on…Pain is also an indication something is not right…and I need to fix it…Pain has made me better person…I guess each one of us have felt it in some form or the other..…Pain only tells me I too am human and I am alive and kicking...for those who cant feel it….are only Cold...dead.

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and change things…see how I could re-fix what went wrong…moments which...I wish I had not let go off…but then on a second thought I ask myself….would things be the way they are now…if I went back and had altered it…would today be any different….if I changed something then...then my present would no more be what it is now…would I be who I am and as I am…then I console myself…with the words…some one once said to me…Kissmat se Zaada aur Waqt se Phela kisiko Kuch nahi Milta... Hmmm…and then I tell myself Everything has its Time…Everyone has there Share…may be mine is yet to come…may be it came and I have overlooked it…may be it was meant to be overlooked and I will get a second chance…soon...yeah…messy ain’t it…but then I guess this is the only truth…that I know it is…and I also know I am getting there…Positive thoughts is all that I want for now…Hope…with which I have come so far…although shying away from me…for now and hiding from me in the miasma of my minds chaos…but Hope it is that we all live by…and Hope it is that will help us all come out of our slumber emotional mess..

I need to repeat this to myself…having experienced it...in my past…at many occasions…which has so far bettered  my life…I must recall that belief…everytime I fall...that everything that happens, happens for a very Good Reason, and the reason is never revealed to us at the time when it occurs…But in time to come…it is what that…happens now will surely change that will happen in the future….

So for now…I am going to wait and watch…and try to control my silly heart. I am going to Learn from each fall...from each experience...and move on.....towards another day...

So the Big Meeting in Delhi on the 20^th is over and need I say “How did it go?” Well the buyer and the Buying house people both loved it, Once again my boss was very happy with the appreciation from the buyer and buying house on our product line along with the colour and styles we used…as for me the hard work and toils of day and night…once again paid off. Well unlike the other presentation’s we put up previously this one was indeed a learning experience…this meeting although went very well made me realise one thing which is going to be crucial in my other up coming presentations…- Do as much you are asked for…Don’t do More…Don’t do Less...Just that right number of items makes the Pitch perfect… Anything More – and you are confused or unclear…Anything Less and you Lack sense of Exploration and Ideas…ok now this reminded me of the popular hindi saying - Idhar Kunwa toh udhar khai (A Water Well on one side and a Swamp on the other – is that how you would translate it…ahhh I don’t know but what it means is either ways you are trapped). Although the buyer felt that we had worked over the limit…but assured us unlike many others atleast we followed he brief and stuck to the similar storyline…so it did not appear as a Mess…the parting words from her were “good presentation and looking forward to more new ideas as seen today in the future meetings” 

That evening as we drove back to my boss’s hotel ( as for me I preferred to crash in with some friends in Delhi) he offered me a Long term bid…where I could join the company as the Product Development Head…well whatever that supposed to be…and to which I told him I was more then happy to take it up but that I could not say “Yes” immediately. And I would have to think it over…as I have many more things that I wish to do and achieve then to settle myself in the quiet town (which I will want to do eventually, when I am 45)…and besides that I told him that I believed in living for  “Today and Tomorrow” and planning myself for beyond the 2 days would only bring about restriction and disappointments in me wanting to grow and explore…to which he told me I could work as a Consultant to the firm if I want…and I could visit the firm once or Twice in a year guiding them on the trends, colours and styling. Hmmm now that sounds interesting, well let see…when time comes how things turns out.

As for now I am holidaying and loving every wasteful bit of it….Met up with some friends in Delhi…some genuine and some not so genuine friends (come on guys…you think I am that dumb - Get Real) but hey it was a good learning...next time I know who to spend more time with….I read an article on a celebrity who prefers to lead a very private quiet life…and I Quote – he said “ In the Fashion and Films Industry no one is your friend, everybody is nice to you because they know you can be some use…if you are not then they don’t stick around…and those who do are lost themselves” Well I guess that something implies to each one of us in today’s world…Friends are rare and hard to find and when we do find some who really stick by you in your thick and thin….although lost they may be…they are there and that what counts…and we must be wise to value them and never take them for granted…

Anyways after the max that I could do in Delhi I came down to Ahmedabad last night after an unpleasant and annoying flight (besides the flight being delayed)…I had this kid who kept kicking the back of my seat (and on and off…I kept losing iT and wanted to turn around and yell but then I just told myself he is just a kid and some day I may plan to have mine…and she might do the same to someone else seat and I eased off ) and just 2 minutes later for some reason the mom exchanged the seat with him and the guy seating next to me came under the constant attack from the little angel….Bang Bang he went on…as for me…Aunty ji…Thank you..

Hmmm…Ahmedabad has been home for me for the last 3 years and the streets are as familiar to me as that of Bombay where I was born and brought up…If there is any place in India where I wanna set base and if it is not Bombay it is definitely going to be Ahmedabad…and I have no explanation for it….It feels home here and I feel familiar with the city as if I know it from a another life...To continue after landing in Ahmedabad last night and till now I have met up with several people I know from here…people I am very closely familiar with to some not so familiar and we just exchanged “hi’s and hello’s” from a distance..…I have been in the campus the whole day today (I still am here now)..Catching up with all that I have missed out on the last 9 weeks…and in a while I will go for dinner with some close folks who I really like to hang out with...and exchange more news on what has been happening…I am also eager to catch up with another buddy later at night and chat away just uselessly.. this will happen till Monday when I have to meet my Guide and give him news on what I have been up to at the firm down south…and get their view on how I should be doing things…well both my guides and co guide are absolutely cute and supportive it’s the some other who I fear…but I am sure I can handle them…well so its almost time I go and get ready…will update soon.

I am uploading some of my work which I had put up in my exhibition here at the Design School earlier in February…they are part of my Class work which I kindda designed and developed during various course here. To know more click on the description and you will know what it was all about. Enjoy ….and yeah ….Have fun and don’t get bothered by small things.. Ciao.

Now where was I? Hmmmmm…yeah… Flowing Like a River…with Blue Skies Shinning Bright…and it Looks like the River I am ridding on, has started flowing reaaallly rapidly.…and the Blue Skies...its just ZZzzzzizzling hotter....szzzzzzz

 The last time I wrote here (March 22^nd) I was already thinking on what I wanted to write next but I did not anticipate that the coming weeks (even now I have piles of Spec Sheets to make by tomorrow morning) would get so hectic work wise and that I would hardly have time for anything…Since this being the Pitching Season, where we kind off propose new developments and ideas to our buyers all over the globe and who in turn place sample request, followed by the millions of dollars worth of orders…based on how much we are in synch with their taste and the latest trends...and also how much we comply with their interventions…Hmmm now all that nancy fancy it may sound these pitching is completely driving me nuts, I have lost track of time…I have not been eating or sleeping as I once was…I have got so obsessed with my work(after one of my first Pitch meeting went super well) so much so that I have forgotten my personal life…and my friend feel I am neglecting them...( folks I am not…I am sure you understand…and I am choo chorry to be so cut off, please bear with me..) 

So…Apart from driving me insane and chewing up my sleeping hours (previously it was hijacked by the teachers at the design school very very ruthlessly…Submission - deadlines-and not that I gave any on time) well these pitching and the presentations that I have been putting across has built up my long lost faith and my confidence in myself… which I think I had lost in the design school…(once again thanks to some particular teachers, who not only demoralised me and my fellow mates for expressing and being Us but also lacked all sense of…appreciation towards us PG’s). Hanywayzz now at work I have realised that your worth is evaluated with how much positive energy and results you can create in doing what you do best and how well you can do it… along with spreading that drive to the other people around you and compeling them to excel and keep up with you. Not forgetting the deafening ki-ching ki-ching ki-ching your ideas generate for the company, the more ki-chings you create… the more happier and willing the boss is towards your views and opionions.

Even as I type this...I feel I am totally drugged on my work like as if I am in rave and being triping high on  the pleasure pills ;)… well I complete surprise myself and the people around me…The obsession for my work… I guess has always been there…from my primary school days to my PG college of Design….I remember I can drive myself nuts working on Only those things that really excited me to the core… if it did not then no one in this whole wide world could ever convince me in doing otherwise…If I liked doing what I was doing then…I get this alien energy in me which makes me continue working like a Machine…for hours and hours…or should I say my as my boss says…like a Robo…which I have been for the past three weeks…and working non stop…This whole robotic work mania started around the 12^th and 14^th of March when I put up 2 presentation respectively for 2 different overseas buyers and as articulate I could be…the buyers appreciated my approach and assured me that I had a promising future(now that is a real boaster)…and that too in front of my boss…they were more amused when I told them that I was not even a professional yet and that the current stint with the company was only a part of my graduation thesis project… and their raised eyebrows said it all…well I felt absolute on top of the world that evening…I called and announced it to all my buddies.. and they prayed that I be fairly rewarded for my efforts…and guess what I was…the next morning it landed me in to doing 5 more Pitching’s and I am completely going bonkers..…The existing designer felt threatened and quit his job…and left me with his projects too…which I have long gone completed…apart from that I have been juggling between the other 5 pitches of which I have already done 3 and have 2 more to do by the 18^th April, 4 of them is to be pitched online while one is to be presented directly to the Phooren buyer in Delhi on the 20^th and I am soooo looking forward to it…for 2 main reason…

One - as this buyer is from a different country and the outcome of this meet will tell me how well I can understand my client and how well I can propose what’s best for them…and if this meeting yields me positive results then I know If am getting on the right track or whether I need to change my approach…as I plan to do similar kindda work in the future…as an independent Design Consultant...(as being an Artist, as that’s where my heart is – doing Arty things for Art sake, is not enough to get me my bread…peanut butter…and surely the Strawberry marmalade I crave for…) so I have to think of others as an alternate...

And the Second reason why I cannot just wait for 20^th April…is b’cause I get to go for the long ten days break that I have been so desiring for that too paid...which I feel I absolutely deserve for my hard effort working all these days and half of the nights....first I plan to catch up with some old friends in the capital after the meeting…and then I am off to the Design school to report on my current progress to my guide…while I am there I also intend to do some pending inquiries and reading at the School Library. Once through that…I go home to Bombay for the weekend and meet mom and eat some yummy ma ke haath ka khaanna….And then come back here to do my remaining part of the project…the collections for the 2007 which I will document and file for my graduation from my design school later this year…and defend the same in front of a panel and there on I get to file for the convocation ceremony (btw which I will be missing, don’t ask me why) and thereon I become a licensed (the Diploma) Textile Designer….yupeeeee

Well I guess this blog has been quiet selfish…so has been my previous ONES talking about…I…Me and Myself…but hey…isn’t it my space and am I not allowed to write all silly things about me and my life….beside I me and myself always has a very primary role to play in our lives...so if you like reading here come again and read about my silly life (and get update on and off) and pick up hints that will surely cheer you up cause Life ain’t that bad….and remember

there is always a light at  the end of the tunnel….

there is always another day to catch up on what all you miss out on today…

there is always a sunrise and the sunset and again a sunrise everyday…

there is always a fresh spring after the thawing winter shades…

there is always a rain behind the scorching summer days…

there is always a hope

there is always another  hope

there is always yet another few more hopes….

there is always a I me and myself and together they can  always achieve the unimaginable..

RE-EDiTED Version

What makes us Happy in Life?

Easy – Making the best of what life has to offer…or else we simply end up being sad and depressed for the all things we don’t have and wanted it so bad…So Happiness is what we find in what is generously offered to us in the journey of us living our lives or Happiness is what we generate with what is within our capacity...Twisted but true…Happiness begins with what is around us…Come on I don’t claim to be some Happiness Guru (btw that has been my 2^nd Job, Guru / Teacher) but think about it…Happiness is a gift that comes to all of us…just that, there are times when it gets lost in the haze of unfavorable events that we so conveniently build up…not allowing joy to pat us on our backs. Well atleast for me it has been so…there have been times in my life when I have almost hoped that I was better of dead, But now when I reflect about those days I cannot stop but laugh about my Immaturity and the Vulnerability (I guess I still am, but the level of intensity and the subject matter that effect me now, have changed)…I guess that’s what they call “To Grow with every experience”.

I Believe if we defy that very simple Law of Life…we surely be doomed…and lost in search of something that is just a ‘Thought’ away from us….Hmmm…I guess The answer to ‘How to be Happy’ lies within us then. Just think, why sometimes something’s in life thrills us beyond an explanation and while otherwise we just curse our very existence… its like someone winning an ultimate prize and when asked how do they feel in response and the most likely answer they give is “Ahh…I cannot put this in words, I think…..Today is the most Happiest day of my entire life” Wow now only if we could Measure Happiness (Is there a Scale for it) Hmmm..The fact is that we accept the unexpected and we reach such an extent that makes us emotionally reach the ultimate high…and that in turn fill us up with a complete satisfaction…Now I am wondering is it possible to achieve this kindda satisfaction, with the smallest things that we see and do around us in our day to day exercises. I am sure you will agree with me on the fact that Happiness is something which is unique to all of us…and satisfy us in different ways and one can achieves it in different things and different ways and when they do, no one can question the credibility or level of gratification, it is what it is…..and can never be measured up by any means….or compared  to else’s joy.

For me Happiness is that right moment when everything seem perfect and nothing more or nothing less can make it any better…That moment that saturates me up with a strange kind of contentment and everything around me appears absolutely flawless and beautiful...a moment when I wanna fly away from the ground….it is exactly then I have this funny mixed emotional reaction of the H2O filling up in my eyes…and a unconditional smile on my face and it is then that very minute in my heart…..I know I am Absolutely Happy….And the people who know me well…will agree with me, as there are occasion when I have expressed my life being Perfect in the most unusual fashion and it has complete taken them by surprise…and they go Whats with you today…and I go… I am happy with my life….however imperfect it may seem.

Mystery as it may seem to me at times…I guess all the Gods of Happiness collectively (here I should say Nazaar ne lagae, like my mommy dearest says) have been more then generous to me as my current situation in life and things could not have been anymore fulfilling then it has been in a long long time…Not that my past has been miserable…it has been quiet satisfying, but I guess then I never appreciated it enough. And now I it has something to do with me accepting and acknowledging everything around me just the way it is and being appreciative for all that is they way comes to me….and accepting the fact the Life is Fair to us all it is how and what we make out of it…And ofcourse…I too like the other people around me have many shades of grey….but of lately everything around me seems to be so Colourful that I just cannot stop but see beauty and perfection in all.. I think it has something to do with me accepting Life as it comes..( I thinking I am repeating that, what the heck Its my choice and my Blog…and yeah I am happy now)

The last two years  have been the most frustrating year’s of my life at the PG Design School (not that I am complaining, I am glad I went through every pain there it has brought out the best in me today), and like I said all the Gods of Happiness are Kind with me and in particular Goddess Achelois, the one responsible to Drives away Pain… I think she has decided to get a lot more gentler with me… this year ( 2006) As it started with a wonderful trip to Europe (mainly work oriented, But who says work and fun cannot go hand in hand) beginning in Frankfurt, where I was introduced (among the many facades of new experiences), to one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life by two most adorable guys from Greece, (Szzzzz…..nothing of the sort that your dirty mind is cooking as you read this -But Manolis and Dimitris if you are reading this you know what I am talking about). Something that makes me feel proud of who and what I am and the very thought of it still makes me giggle and smile with Happiness as I write this. I wish I had more time with them and the things we did around…However short the trip there was…was worth it. The week thereafter was condensed with vibrancy and exhilaration.. in the neighboring Country of France – from the very minute I landed in Paris around 2035hrs and was picked up by my host and dearest friends (who I absolutely love like crazy, A couple who are my Heros…of PERFECTION and  TRUELOVE... absolutely complete and flawless, a couple which are a living example of match made in heaven, many words would be less to narrate them here, may be some other day I will) and the night tour of city they gave me with complete details from the Opera to the politicians homes to the Couture Boutiques on Rue du Faubourg Saint Honore( I hope I spell that right) to the Cathedral and Churches including the one mentioned in the Da Vinchi Code…it was just simply - WOW!!! I guess even Ash never got this treatment during her trips to Paris.

The city full of history and creativity, and going there was one of my dreams…and dream it can be of every student of Art, Fashion and Design, and as for me it came true… The whole saunter through the Rues, Alleys and Colonies which had amusing stories and history behind it…was worth the pain in my feet which occurred every evening…Everywhere I went from…. Paris…Orleans…Nantes (a beautiful city) and Tours (also a city) was like walking into picturesque Film Sets made for the Gothic and the Renaissance time in France, just with modern props interrupting the breath taking views…which I had only read in the books…and may be seen in a film or two..Chocolate staring Juliet Binoch, was one of it…and some parts of Orleans and Nantes in particular was just like the village in that film. The colours, the textures, the faces, the street gravels, the benches, the street lights..the diversity, the chaos, and the naïve mind of mine all fitted like a Leggo… everything was Perfect…I wanted to change nothing…and each times I felt perfection around me, I had my silly and funny mixed emotion that got accumulated resulting in me being HAPPY…(and once I even had tear fill up my eyes and one of my friend who was showing me around wondered what was wrong…oh my friends there I cannot be thankful enough to them who made my stay comfortable and remarkably memorable…) To go to Paris was a Dream..and it came true…Now I harbor another dream…and the very thought of it makes me HAPPY….Long ago I remember I was mesmerized with the city in a Hollywood flick SABRINA, and the this whole thing about how the city transforms her…Paris did have that magic…I guess I just did not have enough time to spend there so she get on to me…But I am sure she will next time…for I visit Paris again somewhere in the middle of this year and then in the end of January next year. And I plan to go there as often…and trust me on this one Dreams do come true again and again..(at least for me they have so far).

Since I have reedited parts of this Blog…I am trashing out the conclusion as it makes no sense any more…so I wind up this session with the fact that Happiness comes to us all, and yes it comes without any intimation and it is up to you and me to grab it the moment we realize its floating by…and chuckle away with bliss….after all Life is indeed extra fair to some of us…and we must learn to be thankful…And so I am more then grateful to who ever is sitting up there and playing things for me…Well you doing a good Job,  keep it up…I appreciate you and your doings for me…As the saying goes – Everything Happens…Happens for a Good reason…Is indeed true..

Setting up of this Space was not all that difficult…as I had anticipated, the only little difficulty or the..."technical snag" as one would call it...was uploading of the photographs…but I guess now that too has been taken care of..Well failures are inevitable, be it small insignificant ones or large enough which can changes our lives....all one needs to do is Keep TRYING…the reiterates would only get us closer to achieving the result that we look for and if not, what the heck…the attempts would atleast give one the satisfaction of not giving up in the first place...of being optimist.

Me, not being one of the super InterNet savoir-faire and always having people around me who are obligated to do my computer and internet mambo jumbo… for me all the time...and now figuring this thing out on my own makes me feel so proficient...so very nice, it makes me believe that there is so much more that I can achieve on my own. Besides I have read somewhere online…that to reach anywhere in the virtual world (and I feel the same for the real world) all you need to have is an eye to observe what is in front of you and then the basic common sense or skills to follow the signage that specifies the possible direction to get there. And with my experiences I completely concur with this –  “Read the Signs and Follow the Directions and you will get there sooner or later.”

Doing this space up…has been on my agenda for a very long time, one, for all my friends scattered all over the globe have recommended it, saying it’s 21st C. best way to keep in touch and to share our experience in life and secondly I have been reading a few blog space of others and have surely got hooked to it…like an addict.

I could not do this for a while ...for I have been running short on the time (mainly) and the right frame of mind to do this. So why now…Well I just got off the phone with a friend who took me by surprise after she answered her Boyfriend’s Cellphone (now she really likes this bloke) here in India when she should have been miles away in France… For a minute I was confused, wondering if I had dialed her number accidentally but then she yelled “Oui C’est Moi, I am in Delhi” and the first thing I asked her was what the hell was she doing here…and she explained that she had to make this trip so that her heart got a chance to be at peace...and then she camouflaged the whole thing by saying she also had some work shooting some pictures of some buildings.…But I knew Why she had taken this risk of coming down…spending hundreds of Euros and losing valuable class hours (she still a student in Uni.) and when I repeatedly asked her why? She coyly said “I don’t know why, but I had to do come”. Somewhere in my heart I knew the reason why...And I am so glad she did...

That’s it…after I hung up I said to myself how could anyone lose these beautiful moments. I have to store them for me and for all my friends who from time to time forget to believe in good things and are clouded by the worse things that happen to them. Earlier I used to write diaries and showed it to some of my closest friends, who would peek in and sometimes smile and tell me that I must consider writing for the Chicken Soup books (haa that still cracks me up)….However writing Diaries have only been a way of reflecting the journey of my life and counting my blessing all the while but then they have turned out to be a big problem to carry ‘em around everywhere I went( I have this travel bug in me) and by the year end they would only pile up in my closet. So since I have ample amount of time in my hand now (dont ask me what I am upto theses days) and the provision of this space which is free…+ the internet which is also free ( I sound like cheapster..Free Free...But then as they say Best things in life are for free)

Although it took me the whole of today to figure this out and understand how this ‘My Space’  works. Well I surely have no regrets spending my entire Sunday, the only day reserved for me….for this is going to be for me and my pleasures in the long run. So if it intrigues you  do drop by on and off…I expect nothing but I am sure somethings which  you read here will only put you in good spirits...thats a promise.
