The new year is here and I thought I should post something at least in January, just to give a good start to my blog in this year – some superstition I believe in, like keeping away from the kitchen on the first day of the year.Of course the logical me tells me what has a day or a month got to do with whats going to happen rest of the year, but nevertheless, dil ke khush rakhne ko Ghalib ye khayaal accha hai.So I don’t know where this post will lead to, its an aimless,thoughtless, messageless,storyless babble.
People make resolutions, try to stick to them and if doesn’t work out, they forget about it.Weight management,time management,giving up smoking, drinking,punctuality –the usual neverending list.I don’t make a resolution for the fear of keeping it.come what may.I am afraid if I make one, I will stick to it because in some things like promises and discipline,I take myself seriously.And it makes it difficult for people living with me, and I dont want to make it worse for them, than it already is.
Anyway, I tell friends that perfection needs no improvement, said by Aamir Khan in Dil Chahta hai, so no resolution for me.But keeping in touch with friends is a to-do, if not a resolution.I don’t call up friends often but however busy life may get, a chitchat with a good friend, always perks me up.However different we girls might have been, we are all in the same boat now –inseparable from home and hearth, raising kids, managing time between work and family.
Though starting from late 2007 and well into 2008, all I have been doing is watching movies , name it, I’ve seen it.What I’ve been doing fervently is redoing hubby’s list of Netflix movies-substituting all his action-packed ones with sugary romantic ones and his protests are dealt with a dose of –So everything is yours, Netflix, TV,DVD player, I’m just a domestic worker in this house.This sentimental potion always works.
Anyway so the romantic that I am, watched some severly romantic ones like The Notebook and Love Story. Feels good to watch someone feeling for someone,after a long time.And also the book I’m reading slowly is Love in the time of Cholera-again the same category.
And then hindi movies,watched all- some good ones like Taare Zameen par and all faaltu ones like Welcome,Cash et all –so,less reading, more watching –how does that sound for a resolution?Pretty dumb and ambitionless-will have to work on a better one.
I would like too take some time too thank the active members for doing what you do and make this community great im a long time reader and first time poster so i just wanted to say thanks.
