IDIOT PROOF YOURSELF!

Hmm not sure if this logic has been shared out there already but I would like to coin this as the mantra for modern life meditation and happy living!

So let me explain, fine Monday morning you wake on time, get dressed, have a quick breakfast and head out to work, your ever so quite co-worker jumps at you and says so how come you are late? Hmm 8:30 am entrance in a quite office is late? NOW DO NOT LET YOUR MIND even go in the direction of making yourself feel guilty about ANYTHING do not reply back with a smirk or anything, smile sweetly and ignore! It definitely takes courage to not ick and not sternly reply back but ohh well you know what it will spoil your mood, it does not reflect badly on your personality but it will definitely make you feel good and strong.

Now there is a fine line between speaking up for yourself and IGNORING!

The Power of " GOOD FOR YOU"
Me: I haven't checked my Gmail yet..
So called Friend: How come you reply within seconds on Facebook and you haven't checked your email since last week!
Me: I think I receive FB notifications on my phone
So Called Friend: Huh! I'd rather pull information than have FB PUSH information to me!
My BRAIN : Pause "shall I punch him" "WTF It's my life, my phone, My FB account, my GMAIL account, MY WISH" WTH... Pause
Me: Ahem .. GOOD FOR YOU!

:)

Dang It I am getting better at this game -- so use the power of smile and well "GOOD FOR YOU" .. it helps keep your weather with you! :) Happy Sunshine!

"PUNNI" My Life's SYMPHONY! :)

"Love You Like A Love Song" 

It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with the best of 'em
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A sinful, miracle, lyrical
You've saved my life again
And I want you to know baby

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat


Constantly, boy you played through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued
I've been set free
I am hypnotized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are... And I want you to know baby


I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a (love song baby) love song, baby
I, I love you like a (love song baby) love song, baby
I, I love you (I love you, I love you) like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat (like a love song)


No one compares
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my heart that's what you are
A song that goes on and on


I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

I love you...like a love song...

Sri Bhagwad Geeta


Chapter 8 Verse 12


One having restrained all the doors of senses while fixing the mind on the heart and keeping his subsistence in his mind, remaining steady in Yoga and while uttering the syllable OM remembers me, attains the Supreme State when he departs from his body.

Pheww who said it's gonna be easy!!! I thought it was gonna be fun but ohh well ... you gotta make it fun right! Maybe that is the challenge!

Ambiguous Times...

Not sure if it is mid-life crisis or a disease - but it sure feels like both!!! Since I am now on the wrong side of 25 - the world is different - everything I like and want to do - is what an amateur girl would die for and everything I should like and am expected to do - well' I'm not there yet.

From expressions to feelings to reactions and thoughts... i feel torn between what I had in the past and what the future may behold. Does everyone really already know what they want from their future? 5 years down the lane? 10 years from today??? Hell .. I don't think I know what I want from today. ... I have been going with the flow and wait for life to happen to me - but hmm maybe not .. something amazing, something out of the world, something awe striking... none of that has happened since I don't know when ..!

I know like every girl - I think the world rotates around me and that's how it is always supposed to be - but I took a break, waited for things to happened on their own and not make them rotate just because nothing I wanted them do...!

So here I am again - shifting gears where I want to look at things I can do make me awe struck - but it is again like PLAN, TAKE EFFORT, STEP UP! Is this what life is about?
Was it not supposed to be like the ROLLER COASTER - which runs on it own?
Were there not supposed to be the waves which keep rushing towards the store and bring new things?
Who switched off my roller coaster, what happened to the tides?

I have been ready to ride, ready to fly, ready to run, ready to jump off - where did the spark go?

When will life happen to me - again?

Bandar ka naach!

It's interesting to see how a group of deniably ethical people turn into liars and adjust their thoughts as a person with higher title comes in with a request - Ohh Yes we can do that - who said NO! until last year we were just fooling around since we believed something else but ohh well since you are here now - we can totally readjust to believe in what we negated until now - and are more than happy to get you up and engaged! WOOT WOOT!

Back to LIFE!

We moved back to LA Downtown this weekend! One hectic back breaking effort - I had not realized that we collect so much! I guess we are fond of everything we have and cherish each and every lil thing! Not sure if its good or bad but definitely contributes to making everything HEAVY! :p

So after long 24 hours of packing, shifting, wrapping, bundling, moving, carrying, bending, jumping, shrieking - we got everything stuffed into our almost 3/4 size new LA downtown apartment. Now I could keep rambling about how small it is or appreciate the fact that it is in an amazingly friendly neighborhood - not scary at all - atleast it doesn't seem to be , has dedicated parking - is just 1.5 miles off the 101 lifeline, and is super affordable for the next one year of our student journey :) So Yay - plus it gives me time to rethink and re-analyze where I want to be with my stagnant career and gym routine! Grr! More on that later - but to tell ya the gist of the story - I totally love the fact that every happening thing is close to us now - we won't have to go looking for things to do over the weekends - just jump right of your apartment and there is life all around!

Oooohh and did I tell ya our apartment at the 2nd floor has a VIEW! :D We can see the top of LA Live Ritz Carlton, US Bank and a couple of other high downtown buildings! Hehe isn't that kinda cute! It's almost like - yay we are right there! And that's what I like - we strive for our goal and we keep getting near - and then we target something even better! It's been the zest of SimPunni's story! :)

Today is Monday - and I got up at 5:00 am - was out on the road at 5:30 and parked at my office in mere 45 mins! Now that's NOT BAD AT ALL! I could get used to this!

HAPPY MONDAY everyone! Yay .. to new life ... it's a "present" :)!
