Now I'm free..



Its like I was drowning..and  someone pulled me up to the surface...Not everyone is given a second chance...very  few are even given a first..I am grateful for my new lease on life..my second chance...I'm scared, but a good kind of scared..I'm apprehensive, yet grateful...

 Apprehension that stems from being thrown into something new and having to deal with it all by yourself..but the good part comes in when you see that you are able to deal with it..that you DO have the intellect you believed you did...that the person who told you you were useless was wrong, and you were right...

Gratitude that comes from knowing that you dodged a bullet..that it could have been much worse..gratitude from knowing that there are people standing by you..Strength for me comes from mom and dad, their faith in me has never wavered, and for that I will be forever grateful. My rocks are my girls...they've picked me up before I fell, and held onto to me till they knew I wouldn't anymore.....As for my faith in myself, well, that's been reaffirmed by the confidence that my friends and colleagues have shown in me..its gratifying and overwhelming to once again be treated like an intellectual, to be given credit for having a personality..to not be given to believe that there is only so much I am capable of..to be told that the sky is the limit, and to be allowed to believe it.

I know that this time too shall pass..after all, there's always light at the end of the tunnel , right? It is karma that has brought me here, and it is karma that shall take me forward from here... Many have not got and will not get this chance to re-live what they want to, and to redefine themselves according to their terms...I have..

I was bound so tight in restraints, chained to a rock, and thrown into the sea, then someone cut me loose...and now I'm free...

And so give your best shot at generating appropriate karma (politically correct words )

The story of the dumb "phak", and other anecdotes.

So I don't know how many of you feel this way, but I , for one, am perplexed by women who abuse all the time. Let me rephrase, I'm perplexed by people who abuse all the time. One of the most over-used (I was going to say abused, but then it seemed cliched) words of all time is the F-word. There are people I've known who find it essential to use the word fuck (this is an R-rated blog post) in almost every single sentence that leaves their mouth. "Fuck you..yada yada" or "F that shit .. etc etc" or "you etc etc fucking etc etc". I mean how hard is it to not use the same word again and again? The English vocabulary is very very vast, and people who are giving/have given the GRE will nod their heads solemnly when they read this. For the rest of you guys who read well, you should still agree. But I digress. Inspite of having a gazillion words, of which I'm sure a good many are abuses, why, why is it so so life essential to use the word "fuc...

About the Mumbai blasts - Not

Everyone is writing about that in their blog. So I wont. I don't think talking about it will help..atleast not here. To everyone reading this blog - if you are that concerned and agitated about the current state of defence and security in India, please don't waste time discussing it online. Go out and vote in the next general elections, state elections, whatever, instead of calling it a "chutti" and sitting at home. If you feel that no one is worth voting for, then cast your vote as a "I vote for none" vote....yes, there IS that option...look it up. This isn't a dinner/Barista discussion topic. If you want to do something about it, go out and atleast show your support at candle light vigils, and in peace protest marches. And if you cant do that, then, I repeat, don't waste time being a pseudo intellectual, and discussing it online. I'm veering off topic. This blog post isn't about terrorism. Its about happy stuff, and what may seem to many l...

How we don't get woo-ed....but get onto Woo...

DISCLAIMER : This post is my personal opinion. It is NOT to state that breakups/divorces are not options to be considered. These are decisions that are very vital and liberating when taken appropriately. Please keep an open mind when reading this, and exercise discretion in forming opinions. Thanks! ------------ They say our generation gives new hope. We are strong, honest, independent, not afraid of choosing the path less taken , and we stand by our choices. We speak up against wrong, stand up for what is right, and try to fix whatever we can . But in this sea of virtue in which we immerse ourselves and  from which we emerge, we seem to have forgotten one- contentment....? We are used to instant gratification . Got a great picture taken?- upload it on Facebook. Nice thought popped into your head? - Tweet it. Looking good today? - Instagram it. We aren't happy with how we look until it is validated by other people's likes or comments on 10 different avenues. We aren...
