At the Crossroads

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now. --Joan Baez When men and women agree,it is only in their conclusions;their reasons are always different

Confessions of a shopaholic!!

I have to report to work in about 7 hours from now and this by all means leaves me with just about 5 hours of sleep. Though i never see myself affected by 'Monday morning blues' syndrome, the idea of getting to work after a great weekend does make me cringe a little. So here begins yet another week. I always vow to make it to work by 8. Its like one of those year end resolutions or promises that we make to break. The many resolution we make at the beginning of the year, only to realize that however much we stretch ourselves, only sheer grit and determination will help us keep it alive. Some bury it and some let it rot mid-way. But i am determined to make it early to work tomorrow and keep mine alive.

Needless to say, it was a great weekend good enough to keep my spirits high and take the oncoming week head-on. Perhaps the only disappointing thing is my bank balance that shrunk tremendously. I was on a shopping spree and splurged cash like never before. If someone is shopping as heavily during bad times as this, it has to be ME. I am transforming in to a shopaholic and this warrants the need for someone to keep a check on me. Volunteers any?

I am tempted to grab this book beside me and flip through couple of pages before i crash. The news of Lahore attacks , the Great Indian pre-poll drama and tentative revival of global economy are good enough to give me nightmares. Hope reading helps. Adios. Buenos Noches!!!

First Day of Spring!!

Google has a lovely, colorful and intriguing design on it's homepage signifying the beginning of spring. The first day of spring for 2009 is March 20th, a Friday. I love Fridays and who does not and what a wonderful day to mark the beginning of something so amazing. To me it is beginning of a festive season, of tangerine tress and marmalade skies. I want to revel in the fragrance of the greenery and orange blossoms ,enjoy the glorious spring evenings while strolling the Esplanade, watch the twilight glow of the sky by the lake with someone special. I want to indulge in unrestrained merrymaking. :)
The global economic meltdown has left all of us down in the dumps. Nevertheless, i am positive that good times are not too far away. The fire that is feeding the simmering cauldron has to be extinguished. We all have to sweat it out to deal with the situation and get out of it. Sooner or later the demon has to perish and it sure will. In hope of better times, I dedicated
this post to my little sister on her birthday and all those adorable people who care to read my articles. It is past midnight and i need to hit the sack so that i make the most of my Friday night :)
