Journey so far... then and now ...
time has surely changed to a great extent .... it is rightly said that "man proposes and God disposes" so is what is happening with me .. never did i thought i would be here at this point in my life right after college, and what startles me most is that i am not sure should i be happy or surprised upon it ! "?"
Was a kid in school when all i wanted to do was have fun.. which is more or less what did !! :)
growing up increased my impatience and eagerness to get into college, it sure was pictured rose colored to all of us !! Routine was never me ... i was always capable of finding ways to somehow alter my everyday life ... to bring something new .. even if it were as small as a new sticker for my copy lol !
Two years of working .. and more or less in a stagnated fashion has bought me to this post of mine. The alters now would be a occasional outing, or a new movie ... dosent really excite me anymore. At times i find myself talking and behaving like my parents ... craving for weekends to come and all i want to do on my weekend is to rest .. maybe catch up on lost sleep! I remember how me and my sister would get on their nerves to take us out on weekends, and they would react as if a catastrophe hit them ... and we would just stand there stubborn and puzzled .. why would any one want to spend a nice holiday at home resting !!!?? lol ... now i get the answer !
when i was living my school life college was a "oh - so - wow" dream that i was looking forward to, and when came college ... i never realized when and how those three years past by ... and one day i am sitting in an office giving my interview, and then comes my first day at work ... lol was so excited i arrived at 8 am when office starts at 9:30 ! and today i sit here exactly 1 year and 10 months later .. revising my life! (at least a recent part of it).
.. No am not really complaining.. rather just stating.
those 19 years of life are surely the most treasured and blissful heavenly state one can have ... even a small achievement like completing holiday homework a month before school would give the feeling such immense triumph as if i just won myself an Oscar ! to think of it ... it came down to -
benches to a cubicle
notebooks to a pc
sneaking bites of lunch during the periods to short coffee breaks
pocket money to salaries
pencils and erasers to keyboard and notepads
wild bunch of friends to office colleagues
timetables to work reports
evening play grounds to facebook and gtalk
exam (phone) preparations to excel sheets and presentations
and much more ... which i really miss now. i guess somewhere all of us does.
... Now that i come to think of it, this sure is a good path to lead on but cant deny that dullness has occupied most of the space in my today's life. what can i say.. i could have fancied it up a little to maybe disguise the fact but then again ... wont really make much of a difference.
treading on ... somewhere knowing that this will change .. smiling and now thinking of the work that i have to get back to !

timetables to work reports
evening play grounds to facebook and gtalk
exam (phone) preparations to excel sheets and presentations
and much more ...
anywayz jharna nice post.......keep it up
great...!! amazing description of your thoughts and in fact wat we all feel ...and the moments we miss of our childhood .,..
really cool!!
time has surely changed, more so for almost everyone in our generation.
I cant help but only admire the honesty with which you have expressed your dullness, even with all the potential skills to 'have fancy(ied) it up a little '... u have kept up with the spirit of writing your thoughts...
Reminds me of the term 'serialization', in sofware engineering it means, writing down machine understandable stuff in text format, to be able to convert in to machine language again...
I believe almost everyone goes through this phase at most points in their life, but they wont admit it, for like every other important thing in life, there is this rat race to appear cool and fun loving too.
This is honest, (not in morally impressive way), but in a unique way of its own.

Another wonderful blog from Manee. I have always admired her for her sensitivity, keen observation and above all, her infinite capacity to love life , hers and others. My recent visit to her was filled with two surprises....one- she and the lil princess of mine ripping the doors of my cupboard of skeletons apart with my total consent and two- seeing both the girls worshiping with complete dedication in the most traditional way during Ram Naomi. I love them and am eternally proud of the duo. May God bless and may you be healthy, wealthy and wise.

so true jojo...
when we were kids...junior school...we always used to hate writing with pencils...always were jealous of our elder when they used pens...then senior school...time to write with pens...n most of us started hating pens within few days...n we used to find the darkest pencil to write with in different styles :)) ...n our teachers used to scold us...n now in MBA...first thing came up in my mind was...can we type or email our answers in exam...lolz!!!
