Faith

Why, yes. I do have a million dreams for the year to come.

All you people with very limited experience and narrow understanding of reality, who think certain things are unlikely and say "it's impossible" with a double emphasis on the s, please jump out of the window. Spare me.

Silence/Turbulence

I should write more.

I feel like I've just been talking too much. Words. Superfluous. Too much. All over the place. I'm watching Vishwanathan Anand congratulating Dhoni and team for becoming World No. 1 in Test Cricket. I'm going to start watching Cricket again.

I'm going to start doing meaningful things again. Not having mindless arguments to infuse some drama into my life. Space and time are such alien concepts to me in a relationship. I think it will do me good. I think it's his influence that I've started to really reflect on life. Sometimes I over-intellectualize even the mundane but I think it's better than just living each day, just existing. Without any meaning. Allowing other people to dictate terms.

I should be more disciplined about money.

I've started to really like my job. I hope the trend continues. I might just be over-exaggerating the impact, value etc. just to make myself survive the long hours. But the work's good. The team's good. Yesterday I saw those Tiger Woods hoardings and felt like I belonged. I feel like I'm doing the right things. Hard work pays. If only I can understand how to navigate the politics. I don't understand the undercurrents well enough yet.

:) I like the Max New York life insurance plan ad. A lot. The girl on the train. The guy. His parents. Talking about his dirty underwear. God, I hate men who can't manage their parents. I think Indian mothers get too sentimental about their sons. Thank god for sensible parents!

I want to go to London. I want to watch Wimbledon. But Chicago is happening the exact same week in 2010. So, it has to be postponed another year.

God! I miss Hyderabad. I'm watching this show called Great Aunty Cook off on NDTV. It's a legit show! Renuka Chowdhury also came. Just watching them make awesome Andhra food, pulusu that too! And I'm living on fruits and tea today. To cleanse my system.
God! I miss Hyderabad. Just the peace. Now there seems to be so much noise in my life. Even my quieter moments are filled with cacophony!

Another long, (interesting), work week to look forward to.

Oh well.
