Aimless in Seattle



A perfect holiday. That is what I am having in Seattle right now. Washington is indeed a green state. On the drive through the freeways, I couldnt help thinking how much of a part of our skin and souls the greenery of a scenery is. Lost in some freeways due to a lack of sophistication to set the GPS, I had a great time finding our way to the hotel. Drives, they always drive me crazy, more so when there is music around. We were hungry and tired but the feast to the eyes was crawling its way down the heart to our digestive system as a solace.
A new group, new city, new fun. I could be alone when I wanted to, but I never once felt lonely. Was enjoying the detached feeling in the group. My outings have been almost always with the best of my friends as I know that anything can be fun when I am with them but here I loved the anonymity, as the group was good fun.

Had our fill of good Indian food and I almost felt tears inmy eyes, due to the spice ( after a break of 4 weeks) and alsodue to some feeling of patriotism (I agree Karan Johar is too melodramatic, but I understand he has point there :) ) For that matter, we had earned this tasty food as we walked uphill along the road and waited for half an hour for the restaurant to open, because, though we were hungry, our taste buds weren't ready for compromises.

My friend came to pick me up and we chatted away to glory till some time in the night updating each other with the details of our lives and calling up all our friends around and teleconferencing.
Went out on a drive with her and did a 'heart-ful' of shopping with her. Listening to one of my fav songs along the drive I just could nt believe that this was happening as it was too good to be true. I realized that it truly was a dream come true as I looked at myself from some elated state of being.

Hoping for a fulfilling third day of vacation before joining back to work.

When you get to enjoy everything in your stay at a certain place, you'll surely remember every detail - from the music you heard at the hotel lobby to the taste of the food you got to eat during your stay.

Of men and sandals.

At this juncture, my groom hunting has lots of things in common with my quest for a nice,decent pair of sandals. My friends know how fussy I am in shopping to get only the perfect ones, be it clothes or sandals or anything. They dread the thought of coming with me to look for a sandal for me. Perfect Sandals For Me, I believe are as rare as a perfect alliance! I have always mercilessly ignored stuff like clothes,shoes if I don't like them cent percent. Even if they are gifts or are carefully handpicked by my parents with lots of love. Now, that could be deadly in the case of a husband.;) My idea of a perfect sandal would be: 1) It should be comfortable to wear. 2) Should look good on my feet. 3) Should not be too expensive. 4) Should last enough I believe, broadly, this would be eveyone's criteria while buying a pair of shoes or sandals, though there could be ppl who dont care about point no:3. But there would be different factors for different ppl for each of these poi...

What man achieves in life is basically a matter of what he wants. and how and how much. What is your ambition has been a question which has been asked to everyone of us. My answer has metamorphosed from teacher to doctor to engineer to artiste and finally to something very vague. At different points of our lives, we would hav had different answers to the same questions. And the point is that it keeps changing through out your life. And it really is a mystery what decides what makes you happy. Sometimes something which you have always wanted might not make you so happy as somthing which you had not given one thought.. There is a naughty child in everyone. We crave for something which is out of reach. Whn you know you cant have it, you ache for it. but once it is ours, we just throw it around or worse still, ignore it and forget its existence..

Meeting Rhett Butler.

Talked to a friend after a long time and he reminded me about an old crush of mine. I had a big crush on Rhett Butler, was head over heels for him after reading Gone with the Wind. His personality and the perfect romantic picture his masculine presence in the novel, imprinted on my mind, had blown me off my feet . As much as I hated Scarlett O ‘Hara, for her snobbishness, I liked her for her spirit. But I kept feeling that it should not have been her who should have been with Rhett!!! I hated it that a snob like Scarlett got all his attention. My crush on Rhet Butler would have been probably like Scarlett’s feeling for Ashley. (When she finally could have won Ashley, she realized that she is no more attracted to him.) Looking back, I realize how silly a feeling it was because I have come to realize that a Rhet Butler really does not exist, for his very existence will spoil his magnetism. Rhett Butler is like that complicated yet beautiful song which I had imagined myself sing a...
