Knowing where the "funny" is....

2006-08-11T08:16:00.001-07:00

yeah exactly.....now days in the words of the wise, "hassi mehengi pad gaii" or something like that , viz, laughter has become an expensive element in our lives... wouldn't one agree!!
isn't it harder to come by a person smiling if not laughing for apparently no reason.....whats wrong with the world or rather with those that so call "rule" it??
i say live into the moment, that's what im doing and coz im doing so i end up putting my best, thoroughly enjoying myself and in the end having a good day.....

laughter- the very soul and universal language even surpassing 'love' (i feel it leads to love) - has become rare... don't get me wrong.. i don't mean you dont find the common persona put up as happy and fine...im talking in abscence of the persona people portray, many come across as unhappy souls just existing in"society" for the mere sake of it....where's the smile thats spreads across a million miles yo??!!! what happened?
all im saying is just know where the funny in you lies, you might love much more....
well until next time,
love and peace

What's in a name??!!!

2006-07-14T23:49:00.001-07:00

my name for instance sounds very sophisticated, chic and controlled to me and well to others, it's just a mouthful!!!! still lost, well pronounce "Rebecca" correctly might i add and find out for yourself..., people including me choose the easier option and call me Becky, i love this name coz it sounds friendly, comforting and amiable....the drawback i have just realized is that whoever hears it seems to consider me a small adolescent and treats me so. some would enjoy this but in my workplace and otherwise i'd like people to consider me as an adult...treat me with a little seriousness and so on.....coz when you got a point and wanna make it try convincing people.....it's tough!!!
i took the liberty of voicing this thought to my fly, they agreed that the same would be with their names and they continue to go on....no i'm not the rebel fighting for the the 'right cause'... i just feel that well once in a way if people addressed me with my real name it would do me some good....
the problem i guess lies when you gotta tell people" hey listen could you call me so and so instead?"and they go what?????does a name change the way people think about you, the way they act around you...or how they feel bout you......
think about it, i'll give you an example here suppose i use the name "Myron"( no offence to anyone named so!!) if given an opportunity how would you greet such a guy??!! most that i've seen laugh behind the poor guy's back....then they decide a nickname for him and all is well, for them atleast and for "Ron" well i don't know........
i guess nicnames were probably made for the very same very reason....coz when you revert back to ol'names they were kinda difficult to digest......
the Q lies as to not whether it's right or wrong but if it's taking over the concept of an actual name, might as well give your kid a pet name instead of torturing him with something like 'Gaylord' or 'Rossette'......
i love my name and frankly prefer it when people call me so....it doesn't necessarily reflect my attitude towards them or more importantly vice-versa...i love them just the same as 'becky' does and expect the same from them......
anywwaayyyyy, i guess no one really cares, and this tradition shall continue......

thanx for reading, it's appreciated
until then comments are welcome,
blogbuddy,
Rebecca :)

Feel Good Time!!

2006-07-11T02:16:00.000-07:00

yes... feeling good real good infact and for what particular reason i wouldnt know, probably coz things have finally begun working out or atleast i realise now that they are....
classes have begun and i'm actually attending regularly!! work is going slightly hectic but fine all the same, my pal maybe coming over from Mumbai sometime soon....

even little things like music..the kind i listen to i've got them all..i've started my photography finally and loving every moment of it....

so there you go, life's good and bad or as someone famously said" life is like a bag of chocolates, you never know what you're goona get." for me try every flavour, some might surprise you just right and some flavours would teach you something. for instance, how to deal with disgust, exxtra sweetness, bitterness and so on..
so go ahead open up a box and see where you go... some could let me know...
until then love and peace

Shit Happens....

2006-06-21T01:05:00.001-07:00

that phrase is my pal's answer when things go wrong..she goes"hey shit happens deal withit!!"so i decide to "deal" with it..
the "it" here is a week of mental and physical pain.....i was very ill and i missed my friends real bad and i got pathetic results....to add to this i was given a tablet that made me feel all WIERD with vague dreams and all included...
i awoke crying, called my pal and she yelled at me....so much for 'shoulder to cry on' anyway it worked... im better and moving on....
pals sure do come along whether shit happens or not....dats y i love these two...

bottom line- don't be afraid to cry....it's healthy!!!
ur pals around, so call her/him up!!!!!put the"proud" shutter down and eat some humble pie...

life's not all rosy..face it and handle it...don't let it get to u....
most importantly, keep ur mind busy at all times....it's required!!!

push urself , give it ur best shot and leave the rest to God....
i read the Bible for peace, and to sort my confusion, read whatever makes u think in alignment...

yeah im all philosophical right now cos i've had the "moment" and passed it....
this blog for those who need a talkin to....
comment if u wanna or if u have a problem....
ur blog buddy awaits....
until then,
love and peace...

"This is Destiny!"

2006-05-22T08:45:00.000-07:00

im coming back from Vasai(outskirts of Mumbai) with a friend to Santacruz(suburb of Mumbai). what would generally take about 1 hour or half at the most by train took one the longest 1 HOUR i hadn't comprehended...
well we board the "fast" local bound towards Santacruz at approx.2:55 p.m. the journey starts off well and fast... suddenly we stop over the creek!!1 yes preettyyyy scary but after 5 mins or so we start back but our hopes die too soon, coz 10 mins later we're back at a halt for what seems like a half hour, u could only imagine the quiet desperation that sneaks up while we try to fathom "what the hell is going on??!!!"then we start back up again only stop after moving 10 feet. by this location it's 4:15p.m. when we should have been nearing our station we were still stuck between the first and secind station, mind you in between!!!
to add to the so called"experience" i realise that i've forgotten my wallet and that my friend doesn't have enough cash to reach us home....so we continue to sit out with no food, water or money.. if u're feeling sorry, how bout this, we both have the flu....so with body ache, nose running, and high fever, we brave out what seems vague and queer..
ssllooowwwllllyyyy but surely we reach a known station at about 6:15p.m. we finally decde to abandon the train as all hopes fade out... hence along with a co-passenger we jump off the train during one of it's halts, walk to the station then out of it, hitch a ride by auto, one hr20mins later we're home......at last....
so what was supposedly a small 1 hour journey ended up being a 6 hour experience of travel, patience, and risk...especially for my friend and me...
well lesson learnt- it's best to remain calm in these cases than to freak out.
this is destiny- is exactly what our co-passenger said, looking at our faces by the end while trying to find reason along with us...
one thing for sure, i don't regret a minute spent in it...mainly because i had my reliable friend with me,she did everything right and more so looked after me....thanxx J....
yes this was an experience i will take long to forget, and luagh at it in time but on the whole quite enjoyed it...
so until then....
peace and love...

Knowing.....

well yes, how do u know what u're gonna be doing the next day or even the next year for that matter.
heres a theory, we keep doing and going in this pre-destined path all decided for us by family and friends,then it suddenly dawns on you with the all-time famous or rather infamous questio0nh of ,"so what have you planned for your future?" and you go "huh!!"then it all comes crashing down, well this is one big decision i have to make and i better get it right!!!! what u do then is go back ten steps down memory lane trying to figure out what liked most in the first place.. for some on the other hand it's simpler, and comes easy.. here i'm talking bout the ones who know what they want but are too cautious for their own good.. they need that extra push, not by the ones they know best but an individual they can bank upon for good judgement from a third parties point of view like a friend for example or even a counsellor for that..
then what??!! well it's upto the person, do you wanna go down with the sinking ship or swim hard enough to survive and excel..
if i do sound too "whatever" forgive me, but this based on mere observation as usual
thios is my theory based on observing three such individuals from three different angles.they're pretty much where they should be right now and it's good to see the learning process involved in this- the method in the maddness!!!
this once again is not a generalisation but a finding if, i may put it that way, of sorts, of the ways people think and act!!!
well all the best to you, hope you find what your looking for..
until next time..

the goodness of spontaniety!!!

2006-04-27T10:42:00.000-07:00

well here goes,
today the day began lke any normal one, wait.. no it was unusual coz i woke at 12 pm.. anyhoo trying to procrastinate all the days chores i sat and gorged down a black forest pastry for breakfast topped with sprite!!
if that ain't weird, here's this ...
we (my 3 pals) got a call from one of our moms that she's booked our tickets for IceAge 2, well beyond surprise we were in shock as to how the hell do we clean the house, dress and make it n time for a movie that showed 2hrs away from our place. as always though God was on our side and we ended up being early for the show. by the by do watch the movie it is fabulous... go to enjoy the animation not to critize it!!!!to top it all we saw3 the movie in Inox!!!the place to watch a movie..
next ...well quite unsure of what was planned we loafed till we met my aunt, we went to her office, got treated like Royalty and enjoyed a ride in the new Innova....
afta the cool ride we went shopping,,(yes girls can't resist t!!!) FabIndia is the place for ehtnic wear in complete style and totally in vogue.... the kinda place that makes eveyone fell gggooooddddd.
the treats one wud think were quite enough for the day but nnnooooo we still had some more in store, we went to a Chinese Restaurant, and calmed the rumbing jungles in our bio-systems with some delectable grub!!!
to finally top it all, the cherry-topping was the walk to Churchgate station at such a late hour that ironically the streets have a few people, they aren't staring in ur face. anyway we came back in a comfortable local(oxymoron maybe, but true) all satisfied and content on the events that took place.hhhmmmm
which brings me to the fact that yeah we all do need these so called elements of spontaniety, just to chillax(pardon the French), let the day lead u if u may and look at the brighter side if u may.... it's not all bad, u end up truely having fun in every sense of the word.
these we need to revitalise as i had said earlier, to rekindle the "fun" spirit...
this was my day, a truely fantabulous day, one to be cherished for it's simplicity and goodness in it's spontainiety...
love and peace

I don't KNOW!!!

2006-04-17T07:24:00.000-07:00

well yes i have absolutely no idea what to write about but i still am!!!
no don't stop reading, you just might find something interesting( atleast i hope so!!)

i'm leaving for a holiday in a few days and VERY much looking forward to it. i haven't planned anything in particular but just spending time with my two very close pals is good enough!!
yup they're soo much fun. we do everything spontaneously, and for someone like me who loves to plan, this is a TREAT!!
that's just what i feel , Life's gotta be "spontaneous". don't get me wrong, i love routine and need it for my sanity. but once in a while we need this unplanned, unknown, thrill of adventure. i'm not talking about going trekking(if that ain't ur cup-a-tea), in general anything that excites u. it could be from going to a movie with pals, going pub -hopping if thats ur thing, bungy-jumping hell y not!! Anything that is apart from the stuff u do everyday.
the good of this is u get revitalised, re-energised and ready to cope with all the crap the world's got to offer.
for me personally, it's spending time in Mumbai if not travelling to new places. walking the streets, using the locals(that's an Experience), and the sort.
this time i'm gonna catch up on some reading too. we plan to travel to some new far off places, so let's see how that works out.
in a nutshell, go somewhere, do something, live a little, life's too short!! ok too clieche. watch Rang De Basanti, a good wake-up-call kind of movie!!
don't rebel just love urself to enjoy urself, u'll stay happier!!!
here's wishing ya'll a great summer or whatever kind of weather ur going thru!!
love and peace
until next time

of ants and dogs!!!

2006-04-05T07:52:00.000-07:00

have you ever heard of that saying, "worked like a dog"
have you ever seen a dog work???!!!!
i'm not talking of the one's in the forces but our regular hommies!!!
they're up whole night( supposedly) and sleep thru the whole morn, get up to eat and back to the sack!!
if you call that hard work, meet Mr. Ant, on an average day, he well i guess does not sleep!! is always in search of food, once he finds it moves back home to store it. that my friend is work. if you doubt me just follow, a line of ants. they never stop, but keep going on, on, and on!!

shouldn't we say" i've been worked like an ant" or do we feel too "small" when we refer to that lng suffering animal. trust me i've nothing against dogs( i've got 7 myself) but just a mere observation of another English Language mysteries!!!
how bout commenting on this view of mine i'd like to see if ya'll get what i'm trying to say.
once again no offence to ma dog lovers, i love them too.
