So much for living!

It scares me sometimes that THIS is what we struggle for. Struggle all day just to do the same thing again tomorrow? Give it all you have all the time for everything you do. It gets monotonous! Ofcourse it does. I asked myself yesterday, I wondered if there was something in my life that could drive me to do what I do in a day for the rest of my life. I knew the answer and then it scared me more.

Then I thought a little more, and felt a little better, no wonder at 24, what interested me as a 10 year old doesn't interest me now. May be I will not do the exact the same things 5 years from now. May be I will consciously strive to be the difference in my life. Hopefully I do. Because there is no way I can do the same things everyday all my life unless it actually interests me that much!

I was blessed a lot today. Sneeeezeeeeee

One of the things you notice about the country other than the fact that they drive on the right side of the road, eat a lot of cheese, talk about the weather a lot etc is how they say "bless you" every time you sneeze. (Or may be I just notice stuff like that because I believe I love to observe a lot.)

For some reason I cant stop sneezing on this beautiful spring day here in Virginia. I have sneezed easily around 20-30 times in the first two hours of work today and my colleagues very promptly kept saying "bless you" every single time.

 I think half way into my sneeze marathon, they gave up. I cant blame them.The funny part though is  that I think I almost heard one guy go "bless me!" LOL .

Sneeeeeeeeeeezee~

I love Birthdays .heart.

I Love birthdays. I know I am growing older but then... I just love them. I have an excuse to go shopping and buy new clothes, I have a reason to be happy! I have a reason to party! :D

It feels good when everyone wishes you happiness , even people you wouldn't have met in a long long time. Somewhere you know people do care. For me every birthday is special. My last one was no different.

For some reason, I know may be it was just that much more special this time around! <3

Birthdays are the bestest for purely selfish reasons.

I miss you.

How many times has anyone of us said " I miss you" in our lives? I am sure we've said it a lot! And I am sure it was heartfelt every single time.

It is one thing to miss someone because you are physically away from them, be it family, close friends or someone dear but it is way different to miss some one because they are not in the world anymore. 

I miss my uncle. I miss him because he is no more. I miss him because he was fun, he was the happiest person I knew.He was a very practical person and had the most vibrant personality I had known. I was very attached to him. Even today,almost four years later when I think of him, I know that 'the fact' that he isn't around  hasn't sunk in yet. I have learnt, and learnt the hard way,that death is a big deal, it is HUGE! It is hard to take.

For me, he was the person in my family who I could go and ask for anything and be sure he will get it for me just because I wanted it. He was more a friend than an uncle. He was my COOL Uncle! I know that for the 19 odd years I knew and spent with him, he has taught me a lot. In spite of all his health issues and other problems in life, he never cribbed, he was always cheerful and accepted everything with a smile. 

I thought of him today  yet again and knew I missed him more than ever. I wish I could tell him that I did. There is I believe NO worse feeling than this. The feeling you get when you can't tell someone you miss them because they are not around, because they are dead. I also wanted to tell him that he is my Hero. He will always be :) I wish I live my life half as cheerful and happy as he did. Life is special, the lesser we crib and live it like my uncle did, the happier we will be.

Cheers to life!

I am here to stay

Blogging is old. I am new to the blogging world. I will be here every time I want to pen down thoughts. For now, the gut is that "I am here to stay" :)
