do your duty....anyway...

this morning i saw this person sweeping the road. as he was sweeping dried leaves kept falling...he continued sweeping anyway... this is not the first time i observed something like this, everytime i see someone sweeping the road reminds me of Gita, whatever happens, do your duty ...anyway... whether you see any changes, whether you feel significant, whether you understand why you are doing something, if it is ur duty...do it anyway...does this make sense??? well many times, life does not...

beauty and pain...

i have heard many people say that sometimes if you want to look beautiful you have to bear some pain...never really thought much about this until today... i met two of my friends who straighten their hair recently. they were telling me how much it hurts. i really didnt know that straightening hair can be painful...not only that it took them like seven hours to complete the procedure...wow...

what a way to start my week...

this morning i was driving to work and got stuck in traffic jam for like one and half hour...sigh...sigh...i hate traffic jams...but guess what is the best thing that...well i became one of the most 'courteous' driver on the road...giving way to anyone who wants to cut in...after like 15 mins being stuck in the traffic, i realised that i m not getting anyway by cutting in and out of lanes so i was giving the way to everyone and amusing myself, looking at how far they could go or could not go..he he he...

passion

whenever i see someone who is really passionate about something...i always think how nice if i m so passionate about something...my professor told me yesterday that he is really into photography, an interest which started since he was a teenager some 50 years ago...the other day another friend told me that reading the history of her ethnic group makes her want to write like that in future, so that she can document the history of her ethnic group...this made me think about what i m passionate about...used to be very passionate about reading, songs and sports...i am still very passionate about songs actually but i wonder, will i still be just as passionate 30 years from now???

new year...new beginning

wow it has been a year since i started blogging...happy anniversary my dear...anyway i am very happy today...and of course it is new year today...so everyone...lets toast to a new beginning...lets have a wonderful year...life...

rainbow

it has been quite some time since i saw a rainbow...the last i saw was when i was moving into my new place...rainbow always makes me feel good...yesterday i saw a rainbow in my neighbourhood as i was driving back home...as soon as i reach my house, i called my mom to look at the rainbow with me...as long as i can remember, everytime we see a rainbow my mom will tell me a folk tale about rainbow...i guess to my mom i m still that little girl who always runs out to see a rainbow...

as we were looking at the rainbow, my neighbour joined us and told us that it is a good thing to see the rainbow...so all three of us were admiring this rainbow before it 'goes away', only to be joined by another neighbour...i donno what is the point of this story but it made me feel good...rainbow always makes my day....

all in a days work...

yesterday was a fun day...no great events but somehow it was fun...i was in office up to lunch time... then i went out for lunch with a friend, only to be irritated by this 'aunty', someone i know and who is excellent in irritating me every time she says something...yesterday after all the formal greeting and 'how are you' i just continued eating, ignoring her because i knew if i were to ask her anything she will say something really rude or irritating. Somehow in the midst of having lunch, she asked me if i have tissues, i said no. they she asked me again dont i carry tissue papers in my handbag. i just told her no...and guess what she had to say about that??? Such 'great' woman, very 'nice' in one of the most sarcastic tone i have ever heard. i was so close to scream at her for this comment...Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuh aunty...if caring a tissue makes me a women, then i would just be whatever i m now...not women...
