Sleep Deprived

Here I am again sitting in my office, in desperate need of sleep!

Can you imagine a person who used to sleep daily for 10-12 hours and suddenly who just gets to sleep for 4-5 hours now?

Well..that's the case with me. Right now I feel like just sleeping, I am yawning half the time, I've got a headache and even cups of coffee won't help me.
College had made me resistant to coffee a long time back.

I am sure a lot of you share the same feeling as mine.. Those of you who want to take a leave and just sleep and relax.
Every day I feel like quitting everything and just chill out.But, I don't think it's ever possible.
That's life, you'll never be free but that's exactly why I created this blog, to atleast set my thoughts free ;)

Waking up daily at 6:00, sleeping at 2:00 at night is just not done!

I am not getting what to do. My life is at a very critical stage right now, I've to take big decisions.
I've to decide whether to continue my job, start working on my creative ideas, try for other industry or MBA or whatever!

And I feel like doing nothing and just enjoy with my family at home...

At this moment I am just waiting for the weekend!

I don't get when there are 7 days in a week, why are 5 working and only 2 holidays?
Shouldn't it be 50%.. if not atleast make it 4 days working...
So, that alternate days you get relief and your efficiency will also increase that ways for sure!
Please if someone is listening, Make it Alternate day work culture!

P.S. If someone needs help in making a personalized gift for their special ones,contact me. I'll be happy to flow in some creativity and escape from this boring job for a while.

Planning Plans Unplanned

Here I am back to office sitting in front of my boring laptop after a 3-day weekend at home!

I can see glimpses of some firangies floating around chatting in loud voices with their heavy accent. 

And they say Indians make a lot of noise. 

I wonder... if it's true looking at them!

This was a much awaited extended weekend and I had made so many plans for it, esp as I wanted to spend my first salary! :)

I am sure everyone of you know how is it to plan and how it feels when it goes all messed up!

My weekend started with a good day spent happily with my school friends at my home. We had so much fun. It continued with some shopping, visiting relatives...

But I had made BIG plans for Monday!

1.) The much desired Yamuna Express Way to Agra

2.) The long due visit to Akshardham Temple

3.) The exciting Zangoora show at Kingdom of Dreams

See, I had the backups already decided. Still everything got messed up!

So, here is what happened..

1.) Tajmahal - Id, Muslim area

2.) Akshardham Temple - closed on Monday

3.) Zangoora - No show on Monday

My BIG plans were chopped down to pieces in 3 seconds!

Seriously, plans don't work out much for me. 

Every time all the spontaneous decisions work out great for me and I enjoy a lot then.

I spent the day dozing off and doing some long due shopping with mom! And it was fun too.

The conclusion is don't worry about making plans to have fun, if you gotta have fun, you'll have it one way or another. And if you do make plans, don't just get disheartened when they don't work out.

It's life and its spontaneous, we have to enjoy each and every moment :)

P.S. Hope to get my blog on Technorati - EZSGRKXBFZGM

Subah Ho Gai Maamu!

It's only 6:00 am and the Alarm rings!

I stare at the time and sleep again for 5 mins and the again and again....

Eventually I manage to wake up and get ready for the office.

It's 7:00 am and the office cab comes, I sit there half sleeping and completely dozed off till I reach the office.

8:00 am and I reach office!

I sit idly, check my mails, my Facebook page and see the office getting filled up slowly slowly till 11:00 am!

And then it occurred to me why not start a blog and utilize this time in the morning to jot down my thoughts.

So, here it is why you are reading this page..

I hope I am able to interest some of you, who are also going through the same phase of life. 

People who hate waking up early in the morning, people who are sitting idle..

At 8:00 am when I am waiting for my cab, I see small kids waiting for their school bus. And I remember my school time. How I used to wake up at 6:00 am to reach school at 7:00 am.

And I realize the vicious circle of life!

Is it back to school time again? 

Waking up early in the morning, getting back home, eating, watching TV and sleeping!

College was so much fun, you could wake up at any time, do lots of masti, sleep in the class, do whatever and no1 cared.

And now again you can't sleep in the office, you have to maintain a decorum and blah blah and also you have to wear formals, the same way as school had uniforms. We were so free to wear anything at college!

Ok, so if it's a vicious circle, then college time should also come back.. rite??

Anyone please tell me in which form will it repeat now? Marriage? i don't think so :P

And then the picture of this movie Wake up Sid comes to my mind and I feel like dozing off in the office and I can feel people trying to see what am I upto!

So, I guess I should leave now....

P.S. Waiting for the vicious circle to go one step ahead ;)

This Independence, Be a Butterfly!

65th Independence Day!
Sounds BIG yeah!

This one was a bit different for me..
I could really sense the feeling of freedom, some patriotism.. It felt great!

Why not share with you a small poem first, that touched my heart -

“I’ve watched you now a full half-hour;

Self-poised upon that yellow flower

And, little Butterfly!  Indeed

I know not if you sleep or feed.

How motionless! – not frozen seas

More motionless! and then

What joy awaits you, when the breeze

Hath found you out among the trees,

And calls you forth again!

I ask to be free,  like a butterfly”

-William Wordsworth 

Isn't it just so simple and yet so powerful! 

Well I fell in love with it the first time I read it.

So, yes I was talking about Independence Day! We had a Kite decoration competition in our office, my first job!

And yes, I chose this theme, as simple as it is and as deep as it can get! I enjoyed a lot, felt patriotism in my heart while creating the theme or explaining it to the judges. It was just simply amazing..

This Independence, Be a Butterfly!

A free creature, so colorful bringing smile to everyone's face :) 

And yeah, this was done on 14th August! And then this question comes to my mind -

Are we celebrating Pakistan's Independence Day?

I always keep wondering this that why do we always celebrate our Independence Day on 14th and then just sit snooze off at home on 15th! 

Then I got a witty answer which made me ponder a lot - 

We are very happy that Pakistan got independence (got separated) , that's why we celebrate it!

Is it??

Was Pakistan's separation so important for India's Independence? 

If we are so dependent, then how are we independent?!

Anyways... back to my independence spirit ;)

So, 15th Aug, I went for 'Ek Tha Tiger'. I was expecting the normal Salman Khan drama, but it was something different!

It was a masala movie but it gave a clear and sweet message. 

It provoked all of us to think again, why are we still fighting! 

Are we actually 2 independent countries? If yes, how can we be so dependent on each other?

Well, it was a good act and not with all those melodramas and still could deliver a strong message!

I don't know what was the reason -the poem / the butterfly/ the movie... or whatever!

But I am feeling as if I actually celebrated Independence Day and I am feeling happy about it!

P.S. I had great food ;)

The Epic Gift Dilemma!

Last month was my parent's 25th anniversary. I love to gift something unique always. But this time the pressure was extreme. 

I had planned to throw an awesome party with a proper fun interacting show - the one we all keep seeing on TV. But things got changed and it was not feasible.

My mind started floating in all the directions looking for the solution.

I Googled and Googled and couldn't get an answer.

"Flowers, chocolates, cakes" - Nothing Else!

Seriously even Google is no help when you have to select a gift for someone special!

I have been successful for 20 years now to make my special ones happy with beautiful surprises by my unique and creative ideas.And this time also the surprise was unbelievable and brought a big smile on their face.

If you want to know the surprise - then you can reach me out easily.

Then I got this idea, this determination - This is it! I need to solve this crisis!

I realized how important it is for me to bring a smile on others face by making them feel special when they see the effort and its not just "Flowers, chocolates, cakes" anymore.

It's something beyond! But it takes a lot of effort and thought process.

In this fast pace world, even if you want to give someone a unique surprise - either you are out of ideas or you don't get time to implement them! 

So, here I am starting my club to help you all. A place where you can get customized gifts of your own, a place made for you. A place with your Personal Touch! 

Keep on bugging me for awesome ideas or help in implementation!

I'll try my level best to make you feel Special!

P.S. Always for all of you out there to make you smile with a small gesture of warmth!
