Its nice to hear complains when you don't post something on your blog. I guess it shows that you are worth reading. But since I don't really have anything 'specific' to write about, I am just putting some random thoughts on the page.

1. I am going ballistic with all the work in the office right now. I want, I mean seriously want, a big holiday!!! Can any one suggest a rescue plan?

2. There is this girl I know who doesn't have much money, but is still trying to make ends meet and continue with her studies. Her mother also believes in educating her daughter. But due to lack of money, she is not able to continue the education of her three children. She is more worried about their daily bread and water (understandably). So my family and I are funding the kids' education. And this is the first time in so many years I am actually feeling 'responsible' for someone. It's a big job, but I am really proud of that girl and I am happy about the effort she is putting in. She is really working hard and hopes to get into the medical profession someday. I am going to call her right after I finish this post.

3. We just had our asiaSpa Awards on 8th April. It was quite a star-studded evening with Malaika Arora Khan, John Abraham, Milind Soman, etc. I am still reeling from the after-effects of seeing John Abraham up and close.

4. I am confused about my future career path. Should I keep working or should I do a post graduation? Any suggestions?

5. I hate all the hype around recession. Is there any meltdown actually there in India?

6. I am worried about my television viewing time since the DLF IPL started (my brother has taken control over the remote). What's so big about IPL? I mean what!!!!!!?????!!!!!

7. One question that always stays in my mind: Why can't life be simple and why do people have to be philosophical?

8. The 'Jaago Re' campaign is really working. It's the first time I am seeing people so upbeat about the coming elections. Hope it shows in the election results. (Guys please take the right decision. I can't tolerate Mayawati as my Prime Minister!)

9. I just bought the book 'Many Lives Many Masters' by Dr Brian Weiss. Going to start reading it today. Any one read it? Any reviews or comments to share about the book?

I realise its quite a crappy post. No head and tail to it. Hope you guys can bear it... ;)

hey .. first things first .. next time you meet THE MALAIKA ARORA KHAN , I WANT AN INVITATION .. or just tell me the venue and i will be there :P

it is really nice to read that you are contributing towards making our society a better place to live in by providing financial support to under-privileged children.
at the end of the day, if you are able to bring a smile on someone's face, the joy is immense and immeasurable.

I AM A SERVANT OF GOD AND I SHALL TRY TO SERVE GOD BY SERVING HIS PEOPLE - that was written by ANKUR KAKKAR !!
he he...

PS: havent read 'many lives, many masters' because i found it too boring and too philosophical and especially since i thought the writing style was like paulo coelho whom i HATE reading.

Hey Ankur...

I'll definitely invite you the next time I see Malaika Arora Khan in vicinity.

Started reading Many Lives Many Masters. I found it quite nice. Its giving me goosebumps.

Yes, you are very right. If you can do something for someone, it not only makes the other person happy, but it also gives you a satisfaction that you could change someone's life is some way. It's a very precious feeling.

PS: I don't think Paul Coelho is that bad!

i havent read any of paulo coelho's novels to arrive at a final verdict.. but out of all his novels my sister has read , i could not find the patience to read even a single one, not even the alchemist.

anyway, nice post .. a blog post doesnt necessarily have to be centralised on an issue.. it sounds more honest when there are random thoughts !!
