And then there was hope...

I thought I was too tired. Too drained physically and mentally. I though I won't be able to write this post though I had so many things running through my mind.

I don't know how much I would be able to put it on this page but I'm glad at least I made an attempt.

On my way back from the studio this eve, I was worn and torn physically. But seeing certain things made me realize its not that bad at all. I reached out to help a blind boy to an empty seat. I watched a mechanic cleaning tyres in a tiny two wheeler garage. I saw a gol-guppa wala working to earn his daily bread. I just put myself in his position and tried to wonder, if I was that person how would I feel standing outside that MORE supermarket, going about my daily business. Would I be envious of those people driving by, loading their cars with shopping bags. Would I be envious of my customer with his pretty girl friend, fashionable clothes and funky gadgets. Or would I be content living my life, earning through my hard work.I don't know the answer to these. But what I do know is that life is just passing by as I moan. That I should rather be doing what I love than to crib bout what so many of them might not have.

I saw a few pics and post of Sudha Pillai and she just pushed me to come here and write this out. I know, just one topic can get me going. But I seem to run out of time and energy. Got an early start for tomorrow. There's a show tomorrow and I have three sequences to perform. I am excited and scared. Hope it goes well. Its been a long day today. And I think I have moaned enough.

Missed you Avril

Somehow Avril has escaped my mp3 . But thanks to sick puppies , it made up for her absence. Love anywhere but here. Time to hit the sack. Got a long busy weekend coming up. Gonna miss Step up 3D :( :(  with the troop.

Living each day

Days have been flying..Its been an eventful week. Chai's Wedding, My birthday, R left to UK. In a couple of days it will be two years since I started working. Cant believe it, seems like it was just yesterday that I was going to school and all my worries would have to be dealing with exams and competitions, reaching on time to school and completing assignments. Worrying if I would made to stand outside class Lol. Well now all the worries seem to have multiplied but not much has changed from how I deal with them. Not that my measures are effective, but works for me :)
I loved most of my b'day time. Shopping, all the wonderful gifts, not many surprises somehow everyone told me what they had planned. Lot of unexpected calls. Lots of smiles. Tipsy moments. Tipsy statements :D Long drives. Beautiful moments. And no work!! Yes I took off on my b'day. Well it was my birthday and I should be doing what makes me happy. I took off the next day too. Birthday hangover :)

Then R left on Friday morn. It was really tough, she was my only gal pal here. I never hung out so much even with my roomies. I'm gonna miss her lots.

Chai's wedding was fun too. Both the before and after. Lots of laughter. Beautiful moments there too.

Also spoke to Sandy after a long time so it was nice. He has this tendency of lifting up my spirits and reading me easy, knowing what I want and also trying his best to probe.

Got in touch with chotu, he actually remembered and mailed me. Probably will catch up with him sometime this week. Weekend there is a show so we had loads to practice. Was past 9 when I got home. We are doing a contemporary number this time. Hope I manage to do well, cause I need to work on alot of things. Adios for now my friend. I hope to visit you soon and bore you with much more mundane parts of my life. :)

So I turned 24! :)

Will write up this post soon :) It was one awesome birthday. Wish it would not have come to an end : )

Be Thankful

How thankful are you? I question myself at times. You crib about work, you crib about hectic weekends. Be glad atleast you have a job that pays you every month. so what if there are a few bad days in the month. Dont you still smile and goof around in office. You think dancing is hectic. Be glad atleast you can walk around, move your body voluntarily the way you want to. Not everyone is as lucky.


Yes I am thankful for my job.


Thankful for my healthy mind,body and soul.


Thankful for loving family and friends.


Thankful to get 2/3 meals everyday.


Thankful for the ability to be here and writing.


To dance and sing.


To think creatively and wisely. To be rational and emotional. to feel love,to love and to be loved. To feel pain.


For my patience. For my memory.


To smile when the world is against you. To laugh in pain and to cry alone yet stand strong and say to the world "Bring it on!"

Happy Friendship's Day

It just seems like yesterday that we said hello for the first time, but look how far we've come from being gangly silly teenagers to oh-so-not-bad mature adults. I thought I will find something beautiful and marvelous written by someone famous or smart which would relate to our friendship only to realize it wont have the essence of us in it. :)

You have walked along with me in this long 6 years journey, always ready to hold me if i slip , always encouraging to take a step forward , always making me feel like I could take over the world.

You have been my confidence and courage. You have made me smile during the darkest hours. You have pulled me through the deepest sh*t :)

You put up with all my silly notions/fears/beliefs and tantrums.

You make me happy and you make me sigh :)

And sharing with you is next to breathing. I cant imagine how I lived before you, I cant imagine a life without you. :)

You are optimistic and you make me believe in what you believe. You showed me to loosen up and have fun,

You read my mind at times and you know me in and out. You know if something bothers me and then it bothers you  :) You don't have to take up my worries you know...but its sweet that you care.

You have always been the perfect gentleman and I have always respected you.

I have been lucky to be blessed with such a wonderful best friend :)

Thank you for standing by me , walking behind me and leading me when I did not have faith to step ahead.

Stay with me , Always :)
