Deck the Halls!

And its Christmas time!!! It's amazing how there's always something about Christmas that makes the soul happy and the heart sing. Especially when living in Mumbai, where the outwardly signs of Christmas approaching are absolutely minimal!

When thinking of Christmas, one envisions X'mas trees everywhere, Santas strolling the streets going a-ho-ho-ho, bands of carolers singing joyously and absolute strangers singing along, gifts all around, festivities , holidays, maybe even snow!!
Living in Mumbai, these may not be common sights, but theres one thing to be found a-plenty... and thats the Christmas Spirit!!
So we don't need the Santas or the snow! What we need is love, joy and happiness!
Merry Christmas!!!

Working Wonders

After 3 days of working late and long, these are the thoughts that incessantly run through my head as I find myself sitting before my computer, yet again, at work.

It’s funny how after being overworked, the brain just decides to shut shop and all the workers disappear so fast, it’s not possible to hold them back.

It’s funny how everyone thinks you are the only one who can handle the responsibility of successfully completing the task at hand.

It’s funny how you seem to be the only person who does not have to get home at a reasonable hour, or a social life, or a life at all.

It’s funny how you are expected to spend a good 18 – 20 hours at the office, travel to and from home (which takes another 2) and still be back at work at the same time as the other people who work 9 hours.

It’s funny how you feel like your butt is glued to the chair while you are sitting, and can’t feel it once you’re up.

It’s funny how you get hungry, because you’ve missed 2 meals in a row, but have time only for a glass of water.

It’s funny how you would easily be voted the “Most Patient Person, Ever!” , but you find yourself snapping at the rate of 3 people per minute.

It’s funny how you pride yourself on being systematic, and always know where to find the required data on your computer, but can’t find anything today.

It’s funny how you love listening to music while working, but today it makes you want to smash someone’s face in.

It’s funny how it suddenly looks like all your colleagues ever do, is sit around and chat the day through.

Flights of Fantasy

Fly away from the places that make you feel restricted beyond compare.
Spread your wings and take off into the night.
Take off into the light.
Take off to where your heart desires or your imagination soars.
Taste freedom.
