Is it late to make a new year resolution?

It again dawned on me today that I need to mellow down a lot. I badly want to get rid of the kind of anger or rather I would say ‘irritation’ that seems to have grown along with me and threatens to spoil the inner peace. I remember a lot of incidents and situations of late which I could have handled in a much better and smoother way, provided I had retained my cool. It is high time I stop being cynical and learn to appreciate things the way they are.

Its never too late for a resolution ;-)


BTW, for the maths puzzle, the answer is: I got the berth ;-)

Now I'm puzzled abt the return ticket! Fingers remain crossed.

Here's a maths puzzle...

What is the probability of getting a berth in tonight train when the current status is RAC3 ?
- It is for 2nd AC coach
- There is only one train that covers this destination and also some key places in the route
- It is the weekend beginning
- There is the festival week ahead

And a positive factor that I'm a
- Single lonely woman passenger ;-)

Keeping fingers crossed!

Welcome 2010

Wish you all a very happy, prosperous, healthy & safe year ahead!

One of the resolutions for this year is to blog more frequently this year !
Keeping fingers crossed.

BTW, I donot have any other resolutions to break ;-)

Have fun!

Marriage...

Its a long long time since my last post. Its not that I dint want to or dint have the time. Its mainly the content or lack of it.
So, here's something that I can discuss with you - Does 'Marriage' bring with it complications which outweigh 'Love' between partners?
If it is great to be in love and good to live-in, why is marriage seen as only a commitment (of course I am referring to those who think in that way and they make most part of humankind, these days!)

Just like love is synonymous with heart-breaks, marriage is synonymous with arguments and conflicts.
Sometimes, after a small argument or mis-understanding or difference in opinion, I wonder if it is a healthy sign of two persons bonding together or getting away from each other. And after a heated discussion, I get into the contemplative mode if I did the right thing by getting into a commitment without giving too much of thought and was only led by feelings at that moment. I know, this is a dangerous sign and shouldn't nurture this beyond that level. But, what if it is true? I am scared of the answer! I hope this thought is only momentary and gets drowned in the long run.

Obama's Nobel Peace Prize

Today's breaking news : The Norwegian Nobel Committee says US President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people"

Q is : Is the Nobel prize sponsored by White House?

A nice song

Fell deeply and madly in love with this song, this week - beautiful lyrics and amazing music.

Maybe it was difficult to do justice to this song during picturisation and Sakthi's expressions donot help much...

Anyway, copied the lyrics here

Relationship & expectations

How to be in a relationship without expectations? This was the discussion I had with my colleagues over tea time. Everyone except me were arguing that it is not possible to lead a life without expectations. One even went to the extent to say that his goal in life is to have expectations (read as results).
We humans have got into a situation where we cannot think of doing an activity without knowing the result, forget about expectations! In a result oriented society, everything is based on outcome and we are trained that way since our birth. The charm of the life is that we still continue to love or 'expected' to love and love selflessly in certain relationships. but, is that feasible? How can a person be pragmatic in everything else but in one or few relationships?
I donno.
