questions, assumptions, doubts, and reasons
like the changing seasons
we are
and will be

grudges, enmity, bitterness, and lies
like the changing skies
we are
and will be

think and ponder, relationships yonder
like storm and thunder
we are
and will be

p for positive i wanna be
p for poor i am at it
p for patience i need so hard
p for pranks is what life is a bit

a clear heart
with specks of dirt
the words didn't heal
the words did hurt

i looked at the coin
i looked at one side
i held it like that, forever
i hurt the other side's pride

people are and people will be
not saints but like you and me
i point at you, you point at me
this wasn't what we were supposed to be

i listen to you, you listen to me
a piece of peace then we might find
i understand you, you understand me
with strings of love, the hearts we bind

at times, you unknowingly hurt someone. maybe, you were short-sighted.

i lost my tears
i don't know how
not something i fear
not then, not now
neither good, nor bad
it's funny somehow
they're something i had
they're gone now, anyhow

(just a stupid thought that i dreamed of, people. don't start guessing anything else.)

firstly, thanks for all the motivation people! i really needed those advices and that's why i asked for it. at times, you know why things happen but you just wanna hear the reason from someone else. :)

i made pasta today (for the first time) and it turned out nice. Nitin loved it and made by day by loving it... haha :)

another weekend has come and i know that it's gonna fly away faster than the earlier ones. Nitin's busy like hell with work and it's only increasing. <sigh>

umm, nothing else to tell as of now. have a great weekend! :)

they say that criticism needs to taken in a good spirit - where do we get that good spirit from? at times, i feel bad when people comment negatively on anything - be it my writing or cooking or talking - anything. and then i feel bad about feeling bad... how funny! :)

it's human to feel bad and it's above human to take things lightly and in the right spirit! i've seen Nitin doing the above human thing - i wonder how he does it... maybe i should write a book titled "I don't know how he does it" on him. :) but what if someone criticizes the book too? ahh! i wonder what induces this negativity in me... is it my possessiveness for my work? or is it my thought of being right all the time (OK, most of the time!)? maybe it's my unwillingness to change!

help! help! i'm again confused! :(

our friend delivered a baby boy yesterday! woohoo! we all were as excited as the new mom was. :D i was secretly wishing that she delivers a baby girl but then i'm not disappointed. :D

it's amazing how a female changes after giving birth to a baby. suddenly, they become so mature, so motherly, and so angelic! :) and not to forget the new Dad who just can't hide the tremendous joy that keeps showing on his face all the time. :D yesterday, when we visited them in the hospital, the new Dad had to put the baby's cap back on and struggled with it. he was being very careful, trying not to hurt the baby at any point. the Mom too joined in and they both were doing a nice job, but a bit slow. and then, the Grandma pitched in to help and demonstrated how one should to put the cap on the baby. such a cute moment it was! the experienced Granny guiding the new Mom and Dad. :D

i've again been acting and feeling quite lazy these days. on Monday, i succeeded in fighting back my afternoon nap but i kept yawning while having my evening tea. and the next day, i again ended up sleeping like a log in the afternoon. i am and i am gonna cut down on the afternoon naps. :(

grrr... i'm again feeling sleepy! why why why? :( :( lemme go read a book and fight it again. :P

Ipoo: You're blog is again not available for reading. What's going on??

hope everyone had a good start of the new year! today morning, nitin and i were discussing about the new year resolutions that people make. nitin believes that people make resolutions of those things that they know they can never do.... i kinda agreed to it (for a change)! i don't have any this year so am happy. :D

been a long weekend again and we spent it mostly at home, relaxing. at times i felt that we are wasting a long weekend by not going anywhere. but most of the time i felt great about the fact that we get to spend so much time together - cooking, fighting, talking, arguing, watching movies, etc. i feel that we should try to spend as much time as we can with each other. coz' once you have kids, they are the only center of attraction and attention. :D

it's a nice weather today - half-sunny, half-windy - i love the smell of it! it's a mix of the wintry and summery smells. in such a weather, i feel like doing nothing but just lazing around in the balcony, enjoying the various smells and getting goosebumps coz' of the slightly chilly air. aww, i'm in love with the weather today!! :)

last weekend, our friends had left their pet fish with us for a couple of days when they were on vacation. she was sucha darling - name's Cleo. i loved the way it used to keep opening and closing its mouth all the time - the way it used to dig for its flakes from amongst the pile of pebbles - the way she used to touch the tip of my finger... ! at times, i used to look at her and wonder if it gets bored inside the tank! so i used to make sure that i entertain it by talking to it and making faces at it! wonder if she even looked at me! :D i guess i miss her!

here's we two at the new year party... doesn't nitin look like johnny depp in charlie and the chocolate factory? :D
