- Get the new slick driver's license
- Buy a small sized laptop/blackberry. Someplace where I can access work mails at all times
- Save money to buy the above

Couple of things that I am thinking about currently

Maybe the grass isn't greener on the other side
I am going to stop with the disclaimer's, statutory warnings etc before each post I write now. If you have been coming here already, you know what this blog is all about and the very fact you came back, inspite of reading this crap, shows that you are really bored or being really nice to me. Works well either way.
Sorry for the above outburst but I am really really angry as I type this post. I can't remember the last time I've been so pissed. I've had a horrible day, you know the one's where everything goes wrong. I've had an argument with a colleague, will be working on a holiday tomorrow and loads of other sh*t which I do not want to rant about right now. Partly my fault too. Get over hyper when I'm nervous and tensed, but inability to work swiftly during a crisis really pisses me off. Anyway hope things get better and sorted out by tomorrow.
Another point that has been on my mind for sometime now. My spend thrift ways. I really have no control about how much money I spend and this I realized with this little incident that happened today. I went to this cafe to pack pasta for lunch. I used my credit card to pay, once I got into work my colleague who liked the pasta asked me how much I paid for it. You know I had absolutely NO idea, cause I don't think I even looked while signing the receipt. Not a good sign I say! I need to mend my ways and save for a rainy day. Maybe this is something I will learn only if I begin to live alone but will try and make a head start next month beginning. Next month beginning I plan to religiously begin power yoga again. I really need to release the stress out of my body or I will have to face the consequences. I hate this habit of taking unnecessary stress. Note to self *must improve*.
I'm hooked on to Twitter these days. It's a fun way to network and you can actually learn a lot about current happenings, technology and current news. Besides you do read a lot of fun stuff too. Learnt a little about a few cool people as well. Twitter brought my interest into the virtual world back and I'm quite enjoying it so far. Weird considering I deleted my account twice before cause I just could not understand the PURPOSE of "twittering". He doesn't know of my blog, but must thank G.S for introducing me to this twitter world and time and again patiently trying to solve all my twitter issues.
Another incident occurred a couple of days ago which part of I would like to forget. I reversed carelessly into another stationed car and ruined its rear. I thought the guy who was sitting in the car was going to slap me. I went upto him teary eyed (not even the crocodile ones) and apolgized for my mistake. He was soooo sweet, he even refused my offer to pay the bill for the damages. Even if he has insurance I still think it is a very sweet gesture. He did tell me that he would've bashed me up if I was a guy. This, according to B is hypocracy or partiality to women or some theory like that, which we still need to talk in detail about. Worked for me, so I'm not complaining as yet.
Every relative who calls my house wants to know when I am getting married. Heck, even friends my age who are married tell me "oh its time you took the next step" in one breath, and "oh you know, I think I could've waited longer before getting married" in another. God bless them
Let's now take a look at my next door neighbour N. N was married from an orthodox family into a doubly orthodox one. She is 30 and has 2 children already. N lived the first 10 years of her married life very suppressed under her mother-in-laws strict rules and regulations. Suddenly life changed for her and now she lives alone with her husband and kids. She wakes up when she wants, does what she wants, does not do not she doesn't want to and the works. Perfect life as it looks to me!
You would think. N is apparently now under depression and she is one of the many people I know who are. They envy a working woman and wished they had picked up a job in their earlier days. To a working person like me, on blue days, their of chilling looks perfect. But yes if I logically think about it, doing something constructive (may not always be working) is important to keep your mind focused and thinking.
So the next time you like his tie or her green boots, remember that maybe she likes your red skirt or he your white shirt.
Maybe the grass isn't really greener on the other side. Just different ways people think and that's what makes this world so complex
