Thank You, Merci, Danke, Gracias , Dhonnobaad....




I've been off blogging for a long time now. I don't know why I stopped blogging -well, well lets not get into that. Let's begin like we were in the middle of a conversation and you know all about what's happening with me .We're through with scolding each other for not keeping in touch often and back to being best friends. 
I've been going through a tough time on the personal front for a few days and with no work in hand I had a lot of time for introspection. I know I don't crib about my life but how often am I thankful for the people who make this life so worthwhile for me - seldom I say. So, today I take a step back to get my support system into focus. Friends, colleagues , acquaintances, "Punching Bags" as SRK calls them aka family and God - Thank you for being a part of my life and making it so beautiful just by being in it. And a big and even bigger Thank You to the Almighty ( yes , yes am an Atheist) for this beautiful day you present me with - I choose to make it happy, sad , boring , exciting, excruciatingly painful and sometimes just while it away - but your gift is a beautiful day . Do I value it enough - I don't think so. 
So, here's to making it count - Note to Self : 
"Its a beautiful day,
Don't let it get away"....


To everyone out there -at the risk of sounding cheesy, look around or ohh wait!!! Maybe at the person right next to you and say a Thank You or better yet, remember Munna Bhai's "Jaadu ki Jhappii" just to say hat's off for dealing with a nutcase like me. 

"If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough."
