Who took this picture? Or who created it on Photoshop? It has all the beauty and goodness and wonder of God's green earth... Is this what inspired the first person who decided to decorate Christmas trees? What is the significance of a Christmas tree anyway? Is it about Christmas? Or is it about the tree? Is it a symbol, a reminder of the birth of Christ? And why should we be reminded? He was destined to die for us anyway. What significance does his death have? And if it doesn't have any significance, why was he born at all? Why was I born? What significance does my life have on this earth? Have I come to give birth or to destroy? What is my destiny...and when will I know?

    LOL - U drama queen!!! U started out with a simple pic and look what u did with it! Took it to an existential qstn of what life is!?!? U r at ur insane best I say! :))

    Ok, so me being perfectly jobless on a lazy sunday afternoon decided to indulge u... Well.. nobody really knows destiny. And I say we should never. It is the uncertainity tat keeps us going girl. How unexciting life would be if u ALWAYS knew what was in store f u? - U wud just sit back and wait for things to unfold. U wud stop dreaming completely.... And then, think how exciting it really is to unwrap christmas gifts??? Yup, u mite be sometimes in for surprises, even the unpleasant ones. But the excitement of surprise is sooo worth it. Ditto for life!!! So don't worry bout ur destiny. It mite not always be pleasant. But do ur bit. Cuz u can make a difference!

    You know wat...it was meant to stop at the first two lines - it was all about the picture, and I was hoping the less said the better - but one line lead to another and...voila! As usual I ask questions I know I will get no answers to.

Paralysis

I feel so much has happened in the three months of my married life but never has there been an opportunity to put it down in words. Some times I start writing only to get easily distracted when I see a tag or a useless quiz on Facebook. I wish I could say I did "nothing" with my life these past 3 months - but that is not entirely true. Those who know me, know that I cannot sit idle, and that I thrive on my work. But now, having relocated to Hyderabad - I am happy to be a housewife because that is a whole new territory that I have never been exposed to. My mother was a working woman, and every childhood friend I have had, had mums who were working women. I am not trying to say that housewives do not work - in fact, I am trying to say exactly the opposite. There are so many minute details that go into running a household - I am in awe at how my mother did all that she did. That aside, we have an addition to the family - a 2-month-old male labrador, our baby - we have named him ...

A Picture Speaks

I was tagged by Renu and the rules are: Pick the 6th picture of your 6th photo folder. Tell a story around it. Pass it on to six other people you like. So when I saw this a few days ago I was like: Oh my God please don't let it be a picture of me looking cross-eyed or something equally bad. Even before I checked to see what the picture was I was tempted to select any "cool" picture from one of my albums and pass if off as the 6th of the 6th. How ever, to be fair, I arranged my folders according to Name, and then looked. And this is what I found: These are my last set of college gal pals. I say last because I have been to 4 colleges so far in my life, and a degree and two post graduations later the greatest lesson I have learned is that GOOD friends are REALLY hard to find. (If my mother hears of this she would say "You didn't have to waste my money on college tuition to learn THAT - I could have told you for FREE!) This picture was taken when we went bowling -...

Who, in a world with satellite television, does not know F.R.I.E.N.D.S? More importantly, who does not like them? I know I did, still do in fact :O) - even if Star World is over doing it a tad bit. Makes you wonder if they don't have ANY other sitcom they could air but this one. And trust me, there are some brilliant ones out there. When hubby comes home from work, the norm is to sit together with a cup of chai and watch the funnies on Star World. It usually coincides with the double episode of FRIENDS every evening, which we sit through just to watch what ever comes after. Today though, they played the last episode of Season 10 followed by the first episode of Season 1!!! I was hit with nostalgia as I travelled back in time to the nineties! I still remember the day in high school when all we could talk about was the previous night's episode when the Friends gang watches the prom night video (when Ross was supposed to take Rachel because her date ditched her). As a teen, we co...
