State of mind...

Posted by Rags

“Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.” – Christina G. Rossetti

I’m so down right now, time is really hard lately with some ups and downs. Personally I hate moaning about every little obstacle that comes up in my life. I have been feeling really sad lately. My self-esteem has dropped to such a low I don’t know if I can ever recover it again. My life at the moment really sucks.

If you have read one of my previous post where I have mentioned about my holiday to Bangalore to visit my parents, was so excited cause its been such a long time but sadly this morning I was told at work that they can’t grant my leave as its only now I have been promoted to different role in the company. Addition to that because of this economic downturn every one at work is really scared and no one including me is willing to take chances. So, I simply agreed to cancel my leave and re-apply in April 09.

God, I’m feeling so sad! But felt a bit relaxed after getting a bit of advice about my trip to Bangalore. According to my friend since the market situation is very bad and it’s been only 2-3 weeks since I got promoted for a new role at work so need to dedicate sometime and save some more money then plan my trip.

I feel like a crap anyways so well, decided to postpone my visit to Bangalore…

My Weekend GetAway...

Posted by Rags

If you have read my previous post where i mentioned about my weekend getaway plan to oxford, which i did...and must say, had a wonderful time and It's hard to believe my quick weekend getaway was really quick, I mean it went by way to fast. It was just amazing two days.

I kick started saturday by meeting few friends for dinner at 'Tree Hotel" which is known for Indian, Thai cuisine and quite popular in oxford. Usually I'm such a food freak but that night it was more of getting to know few new friends, cracking jokes and ended our gathering by sipping 'Tequila"... lol.

On sunday, spent entire day in city center to do window shopping along with friend and also we managed to go to 'Chang Mai Kitchen' for lunch. This would be my second visit to this restaurant. [Click here -> to check my previous visit post]. It was just perfect short break what i really needed from my busy routine.

Such an IDIOT...

Posted by Rags

Oh dear i been such an idiot! I'm really sorry i didn't mean to make all my blog readers to feel sad. I am sorry about previous post. Its just that i tend to react in some strange way when things start going in wrong direction.

Everyday I wake up and carry on with my normal daily routine and most of the time i am happy with what i am doing. I pray to god and seek his blessings to make me more strong to face the unpredicted tomorrow. I am just normal guy who smiles for the silliest things and laugh out loud for the dumbest. I miss my parents and friends, life isn't easy when you stay far from the people who mean a world to you.

Every time something goes wrong, it will take time for me to figure out as where and how its gone wrong and before i do, it would have gone out of my reach. So, here I am saying to myself to start over again by moving on in life hoping things will be different. Life will be easy without any complications but hey...knock...knock soon i feel like its back again ..... 'Nothing's changed'. So am I ....

As i mentioned on my previous post, will be traveling to Oxford as a part of my mission to catch up with friend and also to be honest i needed a break really!!!

Have a good weekend every one.... 'God Bless'.

Just when i thought ...

Posted by Rags

"If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character. Would you slow down? Or speed up"? - Chuck Palahniuk

Just when i thought everything was finally going to be all right and everything seemed to be in place, something happened which bought me straight to the ground. Its nothing but the reminder of my commitments and responsibilities.

Oh God, why can't life be simple without much complications? why do i always think twice to take any step? When i think about my commitments and responsibilities, my life seems to be in 'STILL' mode. Nothing seems to be going in the right direction and in addition feel like burdening myself more and more. Can't keep satisfying myself with false assurance anymore, Can't keep saying that "Everything is going to be just fine", when i know the fact that its not.

I feel like banging my head and screaming out loud till tears start rolling out. Things are very stressful lately, and no its not the job. Something is like killing me from inside by not giving me a chance to figure out as what it is so that i can work on to solve it. Everything seems to be going in a wrong direction at the moment.

Guess, i reached to the point where there is no looking back and i feel stuck. Life is so confusing and i know its too early for me to feel that way but guess its the fact and i just need to make more sacrifice and as the time passes by need to make more decisions.

On a better note, will be traveling to oxford to catch up with my best friend. Hope its going to be nice get-away...

Birthday Surprise

Posted by Rags

"What's the use of worrying? It never was worth while, so pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag. And smile, smile, smile”. --- George Asaf

Let me kick start this post by saying thank you to all those who wished me for my birthday! That’s much appreciated.

I was so happy to see my best friend who dropped in to see me for my birthday and we had some amazing time together and had Aloo-Paratha from Indian Takeaway. Because of my busy schedule didn’t plan much for my birthday apart from catching up with few mates after work for a drink.

The best thing that happened on my birthday was to own N95 8GB. If you have read my previous post where I have expressed my desire to own N95 8GB but couldn’t go for it ‘cause it was expensive and also because of my restriction on my spending, but something amazing happened on my birthday when I dropped into O2 outlet with a friend just to double check about the price and to my surprise I was offered a free upgrade from my Blackberry (Pearl) to Nokia N95 8GB because of my good record of payment for my previous mobile contract.. It was truly unbelievable …. So happy…Yeeeey!!!

You Tube gathering experience..

Posted by Rags

I managed to reach the You Tube gathering spot (London Eye) on time but was a bit hesitant to get mingled in a group as every one were strangers to me. I was so surprised to see all different age group you tubers comming together for this gathering.

Chris who’s user name is (lomasca) on you tube has organized this gathering. To be honest I quite enjoyed to see so many you tuber’s specially (DTtwinsangry) as they travelled all the way from Russia and they were so sweet to get me a gift.

Once everyone gathered under London eye we kick started by visiting an arcade near London eye where we played bumping cars. Thanks to rob who did a bit of video shoot of me driving bumping car..lol. Also managed to take few pictures with the people I managed to interact. Didn't get much time to interact with every one but was very happy seeing them.

After saying good bye to all you tube friends headed straight to Eastham in London in search of vegetarian Indian Restaurant. After wandering a bit in Eastham finally managed to find a typical south Indian vegetarian restaurant, was so happy to see my entire favourite south Indian food listed on a restaurant menu. Initially dint know as which food to order first..lol. So started with idly, vada and sambar then masala dosa and ended by having besi bele bath. It was just amazing. I miss home food soooo much.

On Train to London..

Posted by Rags

As mentioned in one of my previous post, I'm on my way to London for 'You Tube Gathering'. Have to get up early today for a quick shower then rush to train station to catch a train to london. Need to mention that while traveling on train i always make sure to reserve window seat 'cause i just love to see outside the window when train is on fast move and get myself in some deep thoughts.

I'm failing to figure out as why i keep feeling low so often. I'm not sad for anything but still somewhere deep inside me wants me to keep distance from outside world and lock myself in a room and just be alone. I know thats quite scary and i definitely don't want to see myself in that situation so I work hard to keep myself occupied and i believe that helps me to certain extent to keep my worries aside at least for sometime.

Now, I'm sure you might be wondering as what those worries are? To be honest thats exactly what I'm failing to understand.

Anyways, I'm glad that weather is looking good today and that means I can enjoy some nice sunshine in london... lol. Oops, I forgot to mention about yesterday's night out. Ninan my new friend invited me to join him for a couple of drinks so happend to join him with my mate chris. I was quite surprised to see my other batch mates at the party still it was fun.

Weekend Update..

Posted by Rags

After amazing night out which I mentioned on my previous post, I’m back on my regular schedule which is work, work and more work. At times I get so scared thinking as what future holds for me, O god; I don’t want this post to be sounding as if I’m feeling low because I got some good news to share.

I’m not working this weekend yeeeeey!!! It’s been ages since I had a proper weekend break. Will be traveling to London for you tube gathering. For those who don’t know what you tube gathering is? Its kind of gathering where all other you tuber’s from different parts of the world come together to spend sometime and share their experience. Now, to be honest I have no idea as how big or small this gathering going to be as this will be my very 1st you tube gathering so not much expecting but honestly I’m looking forward to meet all those nice people.
