Daily Horoscope from Hell

Today morning was a shocker!!! Rummaging through My Daily Horoscope I suddenly felt a chill down my spine…. It said…… “A minor issue will be blown out of proportion by Rivals. There will be a crisis at work today but try to stay calm”.

I was like…… Whaaaattttt?

Nevertheless I spent the entire day in Office – putting off important decisions & double checking my work, sure that someone was going to backstab me……

Help!!! I am spending the entire day in Paranoia……

Are you also one of those who religiously look at their daily horoscope in the paper for prediction of the events which will unfold today? Then you go through the day with a mindset to either be cautious of an unseen enemy or waiting for the situation to spiral out of control……

It is even more surprising how specific these daily predications have become:

“Things will not work out for you; take patience in letting the events unfold before taking a decision.”

“Control expenses and invest wisely. Today Financial transactions should be handled with care.”

What I wish for is a more pleasant forecast like…… “Today there is a possibility of the love connection you have been waiting for. Passion can be at an all time High.”……

To part or not to part, that is the Question

I know at least two of my fiends who are currently in a relationship with LOSER boys & the worst part of it is that they know it too. Still they do not have the courage to break it off with them or even if they do it’s always a ‘last Chance’ for him........

`Babe` is Uber Rich, fashionable, sensible, full of life, humorous, straightforward & more importantly has a good heart but is shy of her looks (she being a bit on the heavier side or as I would call it Pleasantly Plump).

`Kiki` is independent, successful, great dresser, just gorgeous & has a close friends list that will make a Top Delhi socialite jealous, she is not approachable. Her confidence is her nemesis as she will not even talk to you till you have been formally introduced & approved by a confidant.

What both of them have in common is that they are in their early thirties, both believe that society expects women in their age bracket to be committed to someone and that it is better to have a man in you life than none at all. So they continue in their paltry relationships hoping of a brighter future.

I really want an answer on this do you have to be in relationship for the heck of it? Or is there really a dearth of Sincere eligible Men out there…….?

R u searching for Mr. Right or Mr. Good enough for right now?

Rail Rendezvous

Call it Luck by Chance if you will……

Recently I attended a friends wedding in Shimla. On my way back after stashing my luggage in the overhead compartment I proceeded to join my Friends in the other compartment Clueless that a recent development in train security was baggage identification by RPF personnel to ensure that no unclaimed baggage was present on the train after departure. Needless to say I came back to face a suspicious Policeman, an irritant TC, many suspicious tourists and a score of angry passengers.

Calming them down was easer said than done. One tour guide in order to impress his group was planning to throw my luggage out from the moving train. Finally after much apology I sank back in my seat resolute not to get off till I reach Delhi.

It was after Chandigarh Station that my luck started to change; I was deeply engrossed in reading a fiction Novel when I heard a voice softly murmuring to me:

Girl: Hi! I am sorry to interrupt your reading but the person sitting next to me appears to be drunk. If there is no one traveling with you, can I sit next to you till Delhi?

Me: Sure! Is he being rude to you? If he is I can take care of it. 

Girl: No he is just annoying me… I don’t think it’s worth it. I just want to get to home in Peace & Quite. Thanks!!!

She sits down besides me & I being forewarned that a chit-chat is not what she wanted kept my eyes glued to my book.

Suddenly about 5 minutes later, I hear a shrill laugh.

I realize that she has read the title of my book and now has an insight into my mental level. She had approached me because in the first look I seemed to be a sincere & stable chap but now she had her doubts after seeing what I was reading – a book titled “Of course I love you, till I find someone better”.

Girl: So how many have you dumped till now?.........

Me: Excuse me???? This is just a travel read not my way of life. I am a very dependable person, beside the fact that I am currently between relationships……

Girl: HA Ha ha…… Like right now you are between me and the Drunk Dude.

Me: Is this any way to treat your Knight in Shining Armor?

Girl: sorry……Sir Knight but these days women do their own Butt–Kicking.  And do I refer to you as Sir Knight or do you actually have a name?

Me: sorry!!! Where are my manners – Hi!!! I am Joy

Girl: *Giggle* and My Name is Sneha

After that the journey was a Pleasure with us conversing like old friends. When Delhi station came we exchanged numbers and parted ways with a promise to keep in touch. And so we have as good friends should……

Have you also met a Good friend in such an unusual way?

Let the Celebrations Continue

Hey All…… Hope you all had a fabulous time bringing in 2009

Its time 4 me 2 come out of Hibernation and continue my Blog Spree……

Where did you party this New Year? This is the question on everyone’s lips these days when I meet people. The expected answer is always a night club or one of the happening pay parties.  But this time around quite a few people surprised me by saying that they were at home with their family.

It’s so refreshing to know that we have started spending time with our loved ones at celebrations. I firmly believe that being caught up with everyday life we tend to forget just how important is it to keep in touch with our loved ones.

Remember Home is not a room with 4 walls; it is wherever the people who love you Live……

Have a great 2009………Cheers!!!...........
