Over complicated?

Why complicate life without any basis? Why get pulled into things that I do not want to? Life lessons may be good, but not essential, until I choose to act on it? Right? so I thought.
Sometimes life's fair, and is really simple, if I choose to wait. Life lessons: even in FF, things can go your way, and allow you to make choices, if you are prepared for it.
I'm prepared now, better than last week.

And life goes on....

The things that I was wary of committing, the things that I hoped to defer until better times, the conversations which I had hoped to avoid, came to a pass without much of an event. An expected storm, only it didn't happen... Another non-event, and life goes on....for now. Whew...

Thought for the day

'So how can I trust you while doing business?'.
'Our relationship is not based on trust, but on mutual benefit (/ need)'. Random movie quote.

Deliberately vague

Ok, now's as good a time as any for me to reiterate about my blogs, more for my own future reference than anything else. My blogs typically go like this: an idea with some thoughts around it; write a sentence or two about it, read and re-read it, and then think of what I want to say, and then edit it in a generic, a 'connect the dots' blog, and also add any random tangent thoughts which come as I am typing up what I want to say.
Often I get what I say when I re-read say after a month or so. But every now and then, will have to recollect the circumstances around when I wrote the blog, for me to place the context of the blog. Not much to it, but these blogs do keep me reminded of associated memories, some of which seeps into the blog itself.
Connecting the dots is a rewarding experience, not just because of the 'blast from past' thing, but also because it opens up other interpretation possibilities, sometimes I connect the dots differently for the heck of it and get a different picture. Hmmm, something to ponder about.

Life lessons

What is it good for? Absolutely nothing...' reminded of Jackie Chan / Chris Tucker saying it in Rush Hour, as I embark, yet again, on a quest to do things that I don't feel like doing!!!  
Then why did/do/would I do it? is the question that I should ask myself, whenever I pause to think about it. But then, when push comes to shove, I don't ask myself that question, which is why I keep fast forwarding into many mistakes...2011 here I come!!
There must be some sense into the nonsense that I am most of the time. A series of ideas, thoughts, action / inaction, often follow a (peculiar?) cycle in my life, often overhauling existing routine. Then, when the dust settles again, there seems to be not much to it.
As I ponder the logic (lack of), another quote "if I could do it all over again, I would!!" comes to mind. And that seems to be the other part which keeps the vicious cycle called my life going. One part keeps doubting, other part keeps doing!
Tough life it may seem, but life lessons is what I call it.....One thing that I have figured out about my life though, that the 'normal' play button seems to be broken; I come in two speeds, pause and fast forward! :)

Minefield

My room may have looked like that to many, but to me it was 'my room'. I knew exactly where things were, well sort of, so I was ok with my apparent disorganized (lazy) way of putting things. When I was settling into a nice little routine, enter 'soora-veli (typhoon)'. On one horrific week when I was off to Bangalore things changed in my room, forever!
In one big 'spring cleaning' sweep, my room became an alien to me. Now after ages of preservation and restoration, I still can't find all pieces of the 'what's where' puzzle, but I hope to find so soon.
No longer a walk in the park, my room's well and truly a minefield, as I found out last week... Ouch!
