Jindagi Rocks!!!

Big deal if I stole the title from this new movie in the pipeline – with Sushmita Sen and Shiny Ahuja. Don’t bother – I keep myself up-to-date on bollywood.

Interesting weekend altogether. Life is beautiful sometimes and yet so nasty at all other times.

6.30 am – Been awake for more than an hour now. Went to the balcony - tried to do Pranayaam, only to get irritated and come back to my room. I wonder why Mili got up so early today with a cry and calling someone by the name – Amilya. Nice name, though. Last night was a long one – could not get to sleep and so decided to watch TV – browsing through the channels, came across one of those cable channels where they supposedly put up late night movies. I was quite taken aback at a third grade movie being shown, which was meant to be a cheap comedy. In two minutes, I changed the flick. It was pathetic. Interestingly enough, there was Troy being shown on HBO – quite a movie I must say. There is a certain kind of seriousness in each of those characters in that movie – Hercules, Hector, and the likes.

By the way, watched another great movie – KingKong! (which incidentally I got for my little daughter). But she could not concentrate on the huge monkey (as she fondly called KingKong) for more than a few minutes. I must say great picturization and creativity – hats off to the maker of the film.

I don’t know if I really meant to write all that – it is just the few thoughts of my yesterday. There is so much more going on up there – there is a constant battle happening and I seem to be on the edge. I have no idea where goes my life hereafter. I guess it has become a routine to fake up existence with small mercies here and there. Concrete – it takes something more than what I offer - to turn your life that way.

There is so much to do – this or that. So many things in life that need attention, yet each and every day passes by in wondering why life is such a bore. True – there is little or nil utilization of brains and energies and the will to do something in life. Ever after going to this newly opened bar cum restaurant in DT Mega Mall – Staying Alive, I am sucked with the thought of wasting my creativity and passion in life. This is the least I wanted to do – analyze my days that have gone by every morning. People out there have been successfully venturing out their passions in life. Directions are umpteen – motivations lack. (Guys, check out this place Staying Alive - it has three bikes inside the restaurant - a complete Biker's Zone. Interesting ambience.)

I start my day with a promise – I will start today. I will make a mark someday but I will start right today. I gotta’ go because I wanna’ go that far….and miles and miles to go before I sleep – the oft repeated clichéd dialogue since my childhood.

Let’s hear what do I really want to do?
Own up a nice resort uphill and do it up in style and theme – with all my creativity. How? Good question. Guess there is a serious need to win a lottery.

Be a renowned jewelry designer – my first venture did not go too bad – I would have profited at least 27% out of the lot, if not more. Got to follow someone’s advice – get that business woman attitude – do I hear myself saying ‘What’s that?”. Watch out – an entrepreneur in the making.

Own up a Mercedes in five years from now. Ambitious? So it sounds. Ok, a Honda civic or a CRV would do.
Buy a 500 sq. mts plot in a nice locality and do it up with an awesome lawn, a beautiful terrace garden, and a kitchen garden backyards.

So much for the materialistic things in life – the journey never has and will end here. The real thing comes hereafter…

Live my last few years of life writing a book on each and every moment that I have lived fully.
Wake up to the nature’s beauty in the early hours of everyday and drink that one peaceful cup of tea with my kith and kin.
Look into the eyes of my little weirdo and tell her how much I have loved her all through and how many times I have kissed her forehead and her tiny hands, while she lay sleeping by my side every night.

Tell the one I share my life with how lucky I have forever been….

Rekindle the passion in me by bringing back memories of those special times. Forever.

Find time for my close friends of yesteryears and thank them for making my life so worthwhile. (I will not wait for years to do this. Today, right now, rather. I love you all – thanks for being there for me.)

I am gonna’ revisit this some years later and see where I stand. For now, it is 8.20 am and I think I should get up and get ready for work – yet another routine day in life. Go to work, open up your mail box, get the hang of the day, plan your work, start doing it, take a much needed break, complete your day’s task, few gossips and call it a day. Routine Living and Just that.
