Back to Blogging

Hi,

Back again with another start.
As I have told before, Blogging has a therapeutic effect on me and the thought of blogging comes to my mind only when when I am a little less than happy.

The past 3 years have been probably the most productive 3 years of my life. The strides taken in my career, personal (not love) life have been pretty satisfying, hence no blogs.

Recently a friend of mine told me that he used to read my blog and thought it was not that bad and wanted to know why I stopped writing. That lead me to read my old blogs and I simply could not stop laughing.. God, the things that I wrote .. :) ... So I thought of rekindling the old itch of scribbling down what I feel about my life, my surroundings, current affairs, politics etc etc..... I really don't know how long this is going to sustain but here it goes..... :)

Work Life:
1 word. STABLE.
It feels amazing when things look good head. Many people (those who are too eager to share their gyaan) have told me that happiness lies in this moment that we live in. I completely agree with them but with an addition to that thought. "Happiness lies in this moment only when you know that the next moment is gona be good too", so stability in anytjing is such a positive re-enforcement. Be it stock market, a good job or life as a whole. This is probably the reason why I like watching highlights of a cricket match more than a live one, or why I enjoy movies more when I am watching them for the second time... :)....

Love life:
Its wired how some men (like me) have enough courage (you can call stupidity) to drive through a dark ally at 2am in the night, but can't muster enough courage to confess their likeness to a girl.

Yes we are special kind of men who say the most stupidest thing, even when a girl walks up and complements us.
I remember this one time when a girl (a class mate in a coaching class) told me I look cool... I responded by saying " Err.... (long Errrr) .. Thanks, you don't look so hot yourself". Yes that is indeed pathetic... All I wanted to say was "Thanks, you look cool too" .... man, am I bad when it comes to women or what?
Another favorite example, A girl (and this is a girl whom I quite liked) comes up to me and says " Hey you look handsome today" and I, with all my wisdom mumbled "Thanks, you too... " :( ....
I think pretty girls make clever boys go dumb at their sight... :( ....

With great (read extreme) difficulty, I did manage to confess my feelings to 2 girls in the past 4 years, only to be told "You are a nice guy but I don't feel that way about you". I have put this in quotes because both girls used the exact same line. I think there is a secret manual that these girls refer to come up with such lines... :)

So you might have guessed by now, I am still (regrettably) single, too dumb to mingle. :D ....
Thank god for the institution of arranged marriages in our country, else I would die a bachelor... :) ...

To wrap up, life seems to be chugging along in the right direction, hopefully no nasty bumps ahead.

I hope to continue writing this time around, and any comments (good bad or ugly) are welcome.

Cheers....
