Life is a camera, Face it with a smile
A smile is like saying hello without any words.

To Achieve....

I'm so proud of people around me, that I know, who achieve. But at the same time, I feel inproductive. It's funny how it is so easy to settle for the easiest and simple things in life. Its almost ridiculous to realise that 10% of the population do the work of the remaining 90%. Those of which who are more than happy to sit back, enjoy, complain, and consume. I want to be part of the 10%. I want to be the creator, the revolutionist.

But times often make me succumb. Why is it easier to sit back, and complain, rather than doing something positive and proactive avout it? Why is it easier to logon to Facebook, and be the consumer, when we could be doing something equally as revolutionary? Why am I being the puppet, guided by popularity, and expectations of those around me? What gives me personal satisfaction? Have I forgotton that?

Sister in Law

I had my dance concert on Sunday. I was talking to a friend, who was also dancing. Mum walked past, and commented how good her makeup was. If you've ever been to a dance concert, you'll know how complicated make up is. My friend's mum answers that her sister in law did it for her.

My friend looks at me and goes, 'Wait till you get a sister in law.'

That statement struck me. Wait till I get a sister in law? I never even gave thought to a sister in law coming into my life. Not to be rude, I knew my brother would get married sometime. But I just never thought about the other little added advantages of having a sister in law in my life. But, then again, it kind of sucks. My friend's brother is like year's older than her. So she got a sister in law, whilst she was still single and with family. Somehow I have a feeling, that I am going to get kicked into marriage before my brother does. Thus, a sister in law, who comes into the family, and helps you out with this and that, aint in reality ever gonna happen to me. Coming to think of it, my friend didn't get it the ideal way too. Imagine having a sister in law, when your still a child. That would be nice. Like a second mum? And anways, why am I complaining, I do have a sister in law already, except just doesn't live with us. (Cousin's wife). However, things are awkward with her, cos we both keep our distance. Donno why, maybe time will heal that distance. Mathini just seems so mature though. So not a friend, nor a mum, but just a relation at the moment. But I see my cousin brother's younger bro, who is also my cousin. He is close wiht Mathini. And that is real sweet. They all live in one big joint family, so its great to see the closeness and everyone getting along. Isn't that what's important, not when I get a sister in law? But the thing is, in the orthodox old fashioned way, once the girl gets married, she doesn't really belong to that famliy, or in a modern way, doesn't spend that much time, so it sucks if I get married first, because I won't get to know my sister in law. Mayb against all odds, my brother will get married first. That would be kool!

Feelings

He came into my life, like that. His smile intoxicated me. Set me on fire. Thirsty for more. One of those rare times, I just wanted to keep talking, but became strangled for words. I made it obvious, lost my respect, flirted even people would say. But, he also left my heart like that. No it wasn’t depressing. IT just made me put him higher up. That one word killed my heart but opened my eyes. I wasn’t talking to a flirt, or a wanna-be. I was talking to a real person, with the insecure core we all possess. I respected him, at last. It ended in trust, the one word I couldn’t place previously. I’ll let you guess what that one word was. :)

Mazhai Thuli



I was walking home today


On top of the world


The freshest of air hitting me


as the rain dripped on


I was loving life


And reminded of


the simplest things


that make us so happy

Sometimes external forces sway and mesmerise you. They lull you into this false sense of security to make you think you can do it. Thanks to great friends who stand apart from the crowd, and arn't scared to advice, knowing very well that its detested, you find your true place, the place you belong. The amazing place of comfort. Could you have left it so easily? Thanks for the great friends who remind you to be yourself, without which my life wouldn't be the same!

Ice-cream

Ever had the feeling of being boring, because that's what everyone else does? You've got to stand out!... Be unique. Especially with ice-cream. Have it on a cold misty Melbourne morning. The best feeling..yet!
