Moments & Milestones

-

Most of us wait for occasions to celebrate... birthdays... anniversaries ... exam results (though that was more a cause of concern for me ;))...
I came from an even more extreme school of thought, where I thought that no day, and everyday is the same.. so why celebrate !

Now, we look for a reason to celebrate.. a Indian team victory... a lost purse found.... anything & everything qualifies as a reason to celebrate.. 
Maybe I am not as cynical anymore... either-ways, it feels good :)

 We don't always need a Milestone to celebrate... even the little Moments in life count....

    Exam results are a cause of concern for everyone, because no matter how much one scores, one will always be at less than 100.00000%. Just like any amount of money cannot make one satisfied, because it is lesser than some greater amount.

    I did not understand the no day, and everyday is the same line.

    I do not know about you, but for me personally, a reason to celebrate is just my own weakness for the celebration. For example, I love to eat. So, every good thing, with an as loose definition of good as possible is a cause for celebration. Sometimes even imaginary things are causes for celebration for me!

      :) I know what you mean about "100%"

      What i was implying with No day/everyday is No day is any special... and everyday is the same...

      It can be argued that everyday is the same, but we, as people are different on different days. And then we blame the days. If my tea/coffee felt good in the morning, it is going to be a great day, otherwise, .....

      agreed...
      I guess if we are in a foul mood, we'll just look for an excuse to find fault with the day...
      In the same way, the reverse is true..

      But I am talking of the larger attitude in general...

      Your idea about the larger attitude is correct. In a way, no matter how much we like/dislike each day in a week, getting to the weekend makes us happy. (do tell if it is out of context)

      It is cool that you bring attitude into it, because I have seen different people react differently to the same situation. What brings out the best in one person might make a sitting duck (mentally/emotionally) of the other.

      Now that there are more and more ideas around the same thing, my little brain is kind of feeling unable to think more :-)

    What you are saying is correct. However, I was referring to the broader aspect of how we treat life...

      Not Zindagi Na Milegi... this is from experiences more closer home...
      but now that you mention, even the movie had the same essence...

What 'I' want to do

After a long long time, I'll be doing something I've really wanted to do...  Did I have to make some alternate settlements... maybe... Will it live up to the hype of it all... can't say... Was it worth a try.. only time will tell... But there is something very clear in my mind... I am glad I'm trying it out.. Because clearly, this is something I've been wanting to do for a long time now...

Charades we play

The whole world seems to be preparing for the G20 summit. From US to China, they are all harping about what Modi is planning to do, or atleast that's what our media wants us to believe.. Anyway, the best by product of hosting the G20 is the sprucing up of the city that is being done. Suddenly the MCD cleaners are sweeping all the visible scraps of plastic on the road (something they should've always done but never did), all dividers and flyovers are being painted, all signages are up and erect, all street lights are functioning... the list is endless... and it is amazing how perfect we wish to be when we have visitors, yet how shabby the original condition still is..  But the biggest realization is how nice and functional every civic amenity would be, if they all did their job properly !  So the next time you clean up your house when you have visitors, don't feel bad... that's what even countries do :) :D

An Apology

A lot of us believe that we should apologize for the wrong we've done...True.. But I've observed that a Sorry seems to be an easy shortcut... Uttering the one simple word seems to wash away the wrong-doing... We might not even pay as much attention, when we just utter the sorry...  And obviously now, thou shall be forgiven !!!
