is a blog just another way of connecting to people or is it completely and totally selfish?

is it just about ‘me, me,me!?’

yup…i guess it is! it’s a personal diary that isn’t personal anymore…maybe it is narcissistic…but atleast it’s a way of logging your life even if nobody cares!

it’s a way of setting aside some personal time to think, reflect and to actually say- “hey, this day passed me by but guess what i was a part of it!

saw a wonderfully quaint meryl streep film today julie/julia about julia child….quaint-because it transported me miraculously to a different time…and i loved it!

i love today…i love that i’m gonna have chocolate…i love that i’m smiling!

so many things to do this week…3 episodes to edit, 2 days of shooting and a heck of alot of places we need to be! but today…i’m gonna live in the moment and just be!

i’m gonna be me!

yay!

say what you mean- easier writing it than saying it!

after the ms attack, the one thing i did relaise was that i couldn’t waste my time in being polite and stepping around people or issues….i just had to say it (so that i wouldn’t waste anymore time0…yup diseases have a horrible way of making you feel that every day might be ur last!

aditya was stressed! did that mean i was going to be ruder than i already was???? how was that even possible?

what it did do..is it freed me!

i cry when i feel sad. i refuse to acknowledge people who aren’t important to me…it saves time and stress cos i have learnt that ur not going to get everyone to like u no matter how amazing u try to be…so forget about it…be who u are and some people will like u and some people won’t! heck they’re entitled to their opinion of you- especially if you have so many opinions of them!

maybe being diplomatic is the way to go…but i sleep at night….i fight, i hate, i shout…but i sleep.

people know where they stand with me and i know where i stand with them.

it takes a bit of getting used to….but my illness made me take off all the make-up on my face and i don’t just mean the cosmetic make-up…

i’m real now. and i like me!

how do you know that you’ve done all that you can do?

how do you know if what you feel is what is true?

how do you smile after hearing a pack of lies?

how do you continue when all your hope and faith dies?

how do you know what’s wrong and what is right?

how do you muster strength when you lose all your might?

you keep the faith and believe in you…

you forge ahead , do what is true.

you focus on the task at hand and do your best…

you do your job and forget about the rest…

you keep the faith cos that’s all you can do…

And know that faith will be rewarded cos that’s the one truth that’s true!

so I have a few friends..by few I’m being kind…I can count them on my fingers but that’s good cos they’re the type u can call at 4 am and ask for advice/ help/ ice cream! Those are my friends…why is it difficult to make friends when you grow up? Is it because you get comfortable with a schedule / lifestyle…NO I DON’T THINK SO…it’s because you can read people better and u know what and who u want

…sure there are the odd mistakes, the bad relationships, the bitchy best friends who stab you in the back….but all in all if your a realist like me, you stay away from the new mistakes and focus on enjoying the current relationships. You make a new compartment called ‘ACQUAINTANCES’ and you don’t upgrade them till they fit ur needs and they fit urs…Too technical, maybe….but I have realised in the long run that I prefer my old friends…with their silly quirks and funny issues cos they deal with my annoying quirks and ridiculous problems too!

what is betrayal…is it too much knowledge or lack of it…? we all ask for the whole truth and then are shattered to hear the truth is any different from what we imagined it to be…should the truth teller be punished for the truth or are you asking for too much by asking for complete transparency/ honesty….

are there good lies and bad lies and who decides which lies should be good and which should be bad…

is it ok if your heart breaks because of questions you brought upon yourself and answers you forced yourself to hear…?

who betrayed you then? the person or your own ridiculous standards of honesty!?

a debate!

so i love my work but as much as i love it…i have realised it’s very important to get ‘me’ back! there is the ‘me’ that works and loves the work and then there’s the ‘me’ that needs sleep and coffee and comedies and movies and then there’s the ‘me’ who needs family and gossip and phone conversations and then there’s the ‘me’ who needs new computers and gadgets and creating new websites and being a nerd….so today i am trying to get back all my other me’s and give the ‘work-me’ a holiday…!
