Nothing!

Kaal pata nahi kyun rona aa raha tha...koi reason nahi...no one said anything, nothing happened, and here I was working and all of a sudden, this depression takes over and tears just start coming! Washed my face and came back to my desk...psyched myself into focusing on work -the fact that I have lots of it helped! Later in the evening went home switched on the t.v nothing good, so switch on my lappy and still nothing, the hangover just won't go away, so just lay there in my work cloths and shoes for a few minutes and the next thing you know its 7:30 a.m in the morning! No change of cloths, no taking off shoes, no dinner, not even chai! It was as if something took over!
So this morning, had shower in my so-called refreshing lavender sented body wash, put on casuals (Its friday!) rushed to work, all the time thinking now that I have my 12 hour sleep I should be bright eyed but no...


...fir bhee jo tum door rahate ho mujh seto rahate hain dil pe udaasee ke saaye
koii khwaab unche makaanon se jhanaanke
koii khwaab baithhaa rahe, sar jhukaye
kabhee dil kee raahon mane faile andheraa
kabhee door tak roshanee muskuraye
magar fir bhee is baat kaa to yakin hai
Mujhe pyaar tumse nahi hai nahi hai....

Trying to psych myself into snapping out of it!

live and learn!

I was running out of my fav lipstick...its been almost an year since I bought it! So I head to the lancome counter, take out my extensively used lipstick and ask the person.."Hi, I am looking for this shade" she takes it gives it a quick glance and says, "We don't make this any more!"
I go "NOOOOO!!! Really???"
she: "We have this new line..."
me: "I want exactly this colour and texture"
she: Lets try a few shall we?
me: quick glace at the watch...its my lunch time you see! Okay
She showed me about 10 lipsticks but nothing came close.
So we gave up!
she: You might want to try it at this place they might just have it from the last batch!
(So I am headed-atleast planned- there sometime soon)
Lesson learned if you like something get it...it might not be available for too long!

Another thing that I re-learned this week is that I should listen to my head...its there for a reason! I tend to make emotional decisions, and always regret them I remember for a few months and then I am back to being STUPID!
Lesson learned hopefully for good!

And things fall in place!

With due apologies to Chinua Achebe!
So life has its ups and downs, sometimes they may seem overwhelming, you feel this is the end of the world for me, now I am just toast (trying to keep it light at the same time :)
And then you look back a few days later and see everything has worked out just fine! The problems, were problems as long as you saw them that way...but they were opportunities too...although in disguise.

This person I know was in a situation the last time I met him, he was all tensed up...with a "Aab kya hoga" look. And I was tensed for him too...and today when I talked to him, he has come to terms with it and planning things in life...I am so happy for him...
