Another Day Another Month Another Year

Life changes too fast. It shows India is growing too fast and changing too fast. Just a year back i had a different set of friends and habits. Today i am altogether a new person. The change is too drastic. I sometimes wonder if change is really good. You loose yourself in the midst of the tremendous change. Although change is a welcome moment thats helped me be a better person, but the way i would be happy as in contended is lost somewhere. Am i part of the rat race or have I become a rat. Either ways I've lost the me in me.


Money seems to be everything in todays world and most times it buys me artificial happiness. Have I lost those days when all i worried was about having fun. Today I have to define happiness the way Life defines it to be.

Theres no conclusion to what I've been trying to picturize. I just am worried that I am part of the movie where the frames are played too fast to actually freeze a moment and completely enjoy it.

I blog again!

It's been over three months since I've opened my blog to review my Personal life.
A lot has changed and I realise its for the good.
A change in Career has made me explain and explore my life.

Today, I took time out to blog myself out.
Lifes pretty much ended the same way it was before I tried to Change my life.
I end up being bored the same way I was three months back.

I've gained a lot with the change but lost my good old life.

Today is the day I break my shakkles and regain the good old life again ...!


One liner Stress buster for the day ends with the note
"Driving your point inn and trying to be good to everyone is touch task and ask. You ultimately end up being the culprit or rather looser."
