Euphoria.....was it???

Yesterday at about 8.00 we (our team) along with other "associates"
gathered at the cafeteria to bid farewell to 2005....

After a funny round of paper dancing where a couple had to dance in increasingly decreasing size of paper without keeping their feet outa the paper, the ppl took to the floor with so much hesitation....argghh!!!Now this is the part that i hate....
Why cant ppl simply shake their booties??? Just let go and shake shake shake!!!!

After a lota pushin and cajoling, my female teammates took to the floor...and we had a good time dancing.....

No concrete plans for new year as yet!!!

Cogitating on new year resolutions....
Not that this is the only time when we decide to do things better....
but then this is just a bahana to start constructive habits...
today is as good as anyday!!!!

"Read a book a week..

That way you'll finish 50 books per year....

Raise your bar for yourself each day" ---Sounds like a good one....

Shining and Shimmering!!!

Shayshayin at Shine n Shimmer we had a great time...dancing away...
in a damp lawn
with wonderful friends
followed by a sumptuous dinner...for which we had to stand in a loooooong queue!!!
on a supposedly cold December wintry night....that was not so cold....

The gals were drop dead gorgeous in their red and blacks...
the boys were....hmmm... kinda okay...
I was reminded of Hyd blues II --where Nagesh comments bout Indians dancing at a party!

Saw Bridget Jones- The age of Reason for the second time...
and drooled over Colin...

Saw Million dollar Babe....and towards the end started feeling like punching at the monitor
when Marianne( The protagonist)'s mother come to visit her at the hospital...

Its the story of a fighter!!!

It is veryyyy verrrry inspiring....

Hhmmm!!

Steve Pavlina Says :

"You may fool all your peers into thinking that you are a victim of the world, but you will not fool me.
You and I are fully responsible for what we contribute to the world, either directly or indirectly.
You can give up control, but you can never give up responsibility.
At any time you are faced with the choice between living in denial and ignoring information, or living consciously and summoning the courage to act for the highest good of all.
If you have not yet deliberately chosen the latter, then you have chosen the former. But it's never too late to change your mind."

Of Marriages!!!!

One of my teammates is just back from her honeymoon to the himachal...
Another one of them is getting married in February....
I still cant bring myself to think of it!!!
And when i do ....i think of this...

A view that i borrowed from Kahlil....

"Then Almitra spoke again and said, "And what of Marriage, master?"

And he answered saying:

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.

Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together, yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."

Light!!!!

Came across somethin this morning!!!

A young boy was holding a candle.
An old man asked the young boy where the light in the candle came from.
The young boy puffed the candle off and replied," First you tell me where the light went, i will then tell you where it came from "
