Never fails to cheer me up....

I had this poster (actually a print out) in my room for years now...I never glanced at it on ordinary days but whenever I felt lonely or dull, the words always managed to lift my spirits. I truly believed in these words. Since I moved, I do not have this poster with me....I could never forget the words......I am embedding it here, so I can come by anytime.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

Life is measured not by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human
and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

At this very moment I miss you, my dear friend, so much that I wish I could hold you for real.

Things I dream to do but never will

* Bunk work without warning, rent a car and drive away to an unplanned destination with a friend
* Invest all of my tiny savings into making a movie
* Star in that movie
* Say 'I love you' to somebody random for the heck of it
* Sing at a concert (my voice is horrible - FYI)
* Dance at a concert (again bad bad dancer)
* Buy a 6 ft teddy bear
* Show the finger at bad drivers
* Slap somebody (like they show heroines do in movies...ithu possibla?)
* Whistle at a super hot guy !!
* Wink at a girl (this is just for funzies!!!)
* Buy a house on the beach (i fear the tsunami, so not a possibility of this wish happening)
* Buy a purse everytime I buy a dress (I lauv expensive purses!!!)
* Finally, drive my car with "Thee pidika thee pidika" in full blast

Wating for a voicemail.....

I am in a long distance relationship for a looooong time now and believe me it is tough! The pros of long distance relationship, as given by various websites and ‘start being happy’ kinda books are BS! The choice of staying away for me is due to the first priority given to career…..but is it really worth it I ask myself many many times.

This is how my typically day usually is (thanks to the great free minutes that cell phone providers give me…)

8.30 am : Me calling…..tring tring tring….no answer…leave voice mail….msg sounds something like this “Hi honey! Good Morning! Naan ippo avasarama kilambaren….labula signal edukathu…so will call u sometime during the day……love u!”

10.00 am: Check voice mail…… “Sorry sweetie! Missed your call…was in the shower……will catch u during the day. Have a nice day!”

Try calling…tring tring…no answer …leave voice mail

Noon: Another voice mail from him….Try calling again …..tring tring…

Here you can add another couple of voice mails from both sides…….

7.00 pm: Me calling again.... tring tring… yeh! finally I catch him.......to summarize the 5 min conversation……he is cooking/ he is in the gym/ he is still at work...so got to talk later……this happens with me when I am engaged with other things too…

11.40 pm: Mission impossibe tune starts playing…this is my phone ringing now….finally we talk for say 10 mins…catch up on the main events of the day….both of us too tried to stay awake….miss sharing the small events like the ice-cream I ate, the shoe he bought, how mean my boss was to me, how he saw this full fgiure girl (yes his eyes still wanders), the joke I loved on Scrubs etc etc……

And another day ends!

Other than phone calls, emails and scraps are exchanged but nothing like talking right? And ofcourse setting up a time to talk everyday uninterrupted works for a few days and back to old habits again!

Why am I pulambufying so much? Coz my dear readers, do not get to into a long distance and if you do….keep the time spent that way very short. Ennoda unwarranted advice ithu!

And despite listening to his annoying gruff voicemail atleast 10 times everyday, I forgive him (and he forgives me) as soon as I hear his voice!
