My Thanksgiving!

No one likes to ask for favours, but sometimes circumstances are such that you have to ask for help.
I know... I too dislike such situations.
But,
When you have friends like I do, you will be comfortable even during such situations.
(I love you sexy for always being there! I know I've said it a million times before, but I feel like saying it again and again and again... because you really are always there for me! I am blessed to have you in my life!)

Also,
Having that one person at your workplace whose mere smile can make you feel like everything is going to be alright, is a blessing. Not everyone finds a special friend in a colleague. Thank you Mr. God!
Sadness is... when that friend has to leave for a better opportunity.
May Mr. God always bless you with success, happiness and good company. I love you! :*
(Bitch, not everyone has the honour to be a part of my blog, you better feel lucky if at all you ever read this one!)

Yay,
Got my secret Santa gift. It's a deo spray and it is exactly what I was planning on buying next!
But, you know what the best part is... not the gift, it's the one who gifted it to me. Maavshi.
Apart from exchanging a few words on some mornings (when I reach on time that is), we don't really speak that much, yet she gave me what I wanted.
Also, for her to actually spend this amount on me, my gift, it's a big deal. So, yes I feel guilty on making her spend that much unintentionally, but I am also really grateful to her for giving me this wonderful feeling and bringing a smile on my face, which is simply not ready to leave!
 Mr. God, please wave your magic wand and do something really sweet for her, on my behalf, this Christmas.

Today did not begin very well, but it is surely going to end in the best possible way! :)

Lastly,
Mr God, I love you! Thank you so much for blessing me with such a loving family, the best set of friends and the awesomest colleagues ever!

Christmas tomorrow. Excited now. Yay!

Pre-Christmas Celebration at Bandra

Yes, I went to Bandra again yesterday! That place is blooming with the Christmas Spirit. Just day before yesterday I blogged about the awesome festive decorations being sold on every nook and cranny of that place, and then yesterday, adding to my delight, there was a Christmas parade happening. All the Christmas carols and songs being played, fake snow being sprayed on the people around, distribution of chocolates and gifts, everyone wearing Santa caps, entertaining acts, and so much more took place there. 

I was so glad to be there and witness the enchantment of the season. Thanks to my friend who made a plan to go there otherwise I had planned on staying in yesterday.

Also, wherever we went yesterday, we could hear the Christmas carols being sung or played. It gave me such a celestial and rapturous feeling being around such joyful merrymaking!

On a cold Saturday...

It's not a secret that winter is my favorite season, but I would still love to say it again that I love, simply love, winter!

This year, Mumbai is actually cold during winter!

Oh my my... how happy this chilliness makes me! :D

Anyway,
Those moments when you don't wish to feel about certain people in a certain way because you know that it's unfair to be so negative towards them. But, you still continue to hold those little grudges for that little while, and justify doing so by calling it normal human behavior. However, that excuse doesn't really help you from not feeling guilty about feeling negative about them... because, in your heart, you know you are being unfair!

Christmas is almost here! Yay! I have no special plans. Doesn't mean I'm not allowed to feel special about it!

A Christmas shop at Bandra, Hill Road.

They had amazing decorative items and adornments in this little roadside shop. In fact, there were many hawkers also selling baubles and other cute things in Bandra. It was so Christmas-y and positive and blissful being there today, surrounded by the festive spirit. Loved it!

Also,
I don't understand why they call monsoon as the 'season of love and romance' when it should actually be winter! How can you not find this weather the most romantic, the most loving climate ever?
(Yes, love and romance are two very, very different things!)

Twitter is addictive! Very much.

Adieu bloggy doggy! See you soon. :*

They say one should never forget where they come from.

I guess I was... Good, Mr. God reminded me. Thank you so much.

I wish...

Why do we wish so much! 

Think no more!

That moment when you finally decide to give up on your 'neurotic' act because it is literally driving you crazy.
And, finally after you come out of your delusional state, you see how badly your absence, ignorance rather, has affected the real people around you.
Good luck dealing with the awful feeling of not being there when they truly needed you!

O Womaniya 

I feel that I have newly started deciphering that yes we have all grown up. Now, when people around me are either getting married or are contemplating marriage. This new knowledge has brought along a lot of inhibitions and insecurities about the future.

Note to self:

• Take it easy sometimes, okay?
• Stop taking everything (including yourself) so seriously!
• There's never a need to thoroughly analyze the actions of other people or yourself. Well, not unless you actually join the CBI! 
• Come out of your sick and stupid dream-bubble. Now.    

Lastly,

I am glad that Winter is finally showing up! 

Times when you feel you are not passionate enough about your passion.

And, when you are not happy with the fact that someone, who is not all that important in your life, manages to be the master of your moods! 

Aaarrgghh... I hate this! 

So you mess things up sometimes, so what!
You also always find a way out of it, right?
And, if not, you simply stop bothering yourself with it by not giving a damn.

And...
Music is not just on my mind, but on my phone too now! Yay! So happy!

Also,
You... confuse me!

Childhood

These two little boys were playing gun on the side of the street near my workplace.

We are all born with a good soul, a pure mind.
Away from the evil ways of the world.
Lost in our own bubble of goodness.
Happy faces making us glow in glee.
Sad faces curling our lips downwards.

Then, time happened...
Innocence started to wear off.
Compassion and empathy were mere words now.
We had grown out of our childhood, We had grown up.
