Kal Aaj aur Kal

I know the title sounds really cliche, but i couldn't come up with anything else that could aptly describe my thoughts at the moment !

Just a brief background on what makes me write this article... The gone few days have been very hectic, work... work ... n more work... i barely got/get time to sit at peace/ spend time with my near-n-dear ones... and yes... my allies in the past GOOD SLEEP n TV have now become the most insignificant and inconspicuous present! ... and all this suddenly stirred me into walking down the memory lane...
So here's the "KAL":
My schooling - My beautiful convent... I owe all the values, the discipline that i have imbibed to this place... those innocent years of nothing but fun !

Juniour college- We were a group of 6 six girls... the nicest of friends i have ever made. I still vividly remember the journey from Borivli to Matunga, 45 mins in the slow train -all 6 of us used to try and amke it to the same train, the non-stop chattering, the junk shopping in the train...and then the best part of getting down at matunga station - jumping off the platform .. crossing the tracks so as to get a shortcut to the D.G. Ruparel gate. ( We always made sure that the guys from r class weren't around while we jumped off the platform -- SO CLUMSILY! )

Then came Engineering- the 4 years that amalgamated hard work during exams, euphoria on winning TPP( Technical paper presentation) at each and every college in mumbai, the never-ending opportunities to script-write n compere shows, the discontent over certain issues/misunderstandings, the strange feeling of loneliness at times, the pain of losing good friends, the pride in representating final year BE project at an International conference held in Chennai, the realisation of mistakes in knowing people... et al.

I think these 4 years have really taught me a lot... more so, about "trust". Sometimes, we know in our heart that what we are doing might be wrong, but we still go ahead and do it... this is when u need to tame ur mind in getting full control of ur emotions. It's just about understanding the practicalities of life and more importantly - accepting n implementing them.

I have also realised that everything in life is/"should be" a give-n-take process.. be it help, well-being, friendship, love, ... everything. And most of the times, by the time u realise that either you are giving too much or taking too much... you have already crossed ur limits ! We must have surely heard the saying "the more you chase a butterfly, the more it eludes you" ... everything should be given it's own time and space. Again reiterating the fact of being cognizant of your limits and good ol' "practicality" and yes, "moderation" is the keyword !

THE "AAJ":
Life is good... though busy.
i dont think i can crib about anything- things that looked vague a few months back have now fallen into place.. my new house is really beautiful, Mastek is fine - good exposure, - the mosaic is now complete! :)

THE "KAL" :: will be continued in the next post !
I would like to end this post with a these 2 lines that i completely believe in :
"It doesn't matter where you've been,
You can always change where your going ! "
