31st December 2009.Evening 8.25PM.
A perfect night for partying and merriment for all.A night of frenzy and alcohol for some.A night for candle light dinner with a loved one for few.....
Still some people are left out in the above count.Guess who?
Yes,few unfortunate people like us who are prisoned indoors due to heavy downpour happening all over Bangalore!!Right.The city where pubs and restaurants have very long back announced for new year eve parties and DJs ,is literally in shackles tonight.Its been raining cats and dogs since 5 o'clock in the evening here!!
And here I am,making a fool of myself ,sitting far far away from my family and my beloved,penning down my miseries after having cancelled a plan of going out with my friends.
Really Bangalore can bring you surprises!It helps you understand the meaning of the common phrase "expected the unexpected".Just like ,few days back ,when almost the whole nation was shivering in the chilly month of December ,Bangaloreans were seeing the ferocity of the sun!And today after a great bright and sunny day,hell broke in the form of rains here.
The evening when I should have swayed and grooved to the music of the DJ with friends or when I should have just walked towards the sea in the moonlight at the beach holding hands with him....or when I should have just spent my evening enjoying a long drive and dinner with my family....I am sitting here bound by the four walls of my room,with a sad face,repenting of the boring new year eve anybody would have imagined!
This post is a result of depression and frustration as any sane being would surely have understood by now.Thus ,unlike my previous posts this may not be interesting(I hope they were!!) enough.This is just a reflection of what I am feeling at this hour.But whatever it is this really helped me in spending some more dull moments of this eve.....
Ohh!!Cross your fingers,yeah its true!!!Oh dear, to my utmost joy,the rain is ceasing....and yes,the night is still not over.I can still hope for a wonderful dinner with my friends and of course a good night's sleep.
Great is God's power I believe.He can make you smile even after a long period of suffering...
So here I take this smiling moment to thank the Almighty for making the year 2009 a great year for me....for helping me overcome whatever hindrances,frights and unhappiness that crossed my way and also for providing me the strength to stand for myself wherever needed.
I hope He blesses me enough for the coming year too so that I can help myself,my friends and my near and dear ones to experience a wonderful year ahead!!

Live your Life!!
Okay,I'm not here to preach anybody about living your life,as the title would suggest,only that I wanted to share a trifling yet crucial fact about life which most of us fail to notice.
The day I watched 2012 , made me ponder about this.
Would our fate really lead to such a catastrophe?
And,if so,what should be our plan of action be to encounter the situation when it strikes humanity?
No,I am not referring to how to avoid it,its about how we prepare ourselves to face it.Since then I have been thinking of what all can be done in this short span of two more years so that I can be satisfied with life and thus become ready for the debacle.But alas!Too much thinking can do you no good and I was left with nothing but a question mark...which lead me to assumption number one:Since we can't predict the unknown,better deal with what's known.We know our past and our present.It would be a fool's idea to reform the past which leaves us with only one option,improve your present!
And assumption(but its a fact) number two:Satisfaction comes from within,also, when and how a person can be satisfied varies from person to person.But God forbid,if such a mishap really happens in another two years,we have to reduce our benchmark of satisfaction ,that is do a curve fitting (As Wikipedia cites,Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, possibly subject to constraints).
Keeping the above assumptions in mind, I decided to splurge myself into all things that would make me and my family happy without thinking twice!!I decided that I would rather spend a whole day shopping at Commercial Street(didn't I mention its my favourite past time?)than sulking about what happened the other day at work or how some people manage to outsmart you when you are obviously the smarter one.I made myself promise that I would indulge myself with all that I crave for (examples being ice creams,chicken and pani puris) without thinking about how many extra calories I must have gained after having those.And even visit my parents whenever I felt homesick without worrying about flight fares!!
Yes these things might seem very trivial to some but to me that's what makes me happy and since happiness leads to satisfaction,viola!!!We have met our goal!!
Truly speaking ask your heart what you yearn for,go for it,forget about what pains you secretly possess,seek happiness in smallest of ways and definitely you will be satisfied !!Don't get me wrong,that was a mere suggestion and any opposing ideas will be surely entertained and appreciated.
