Lesson #4 : Waking up on the right side of the bed, more importantly with a smile may just make the whole day a really good n pleasant one!!!
Today was one of those oddly pleasant days where i woke up feeling really happy for some reason!!! N this was despite having the wake up call at 545 am. It's really an incredible feeling to feel so light hearted and happy. i ended up getting ready in a jolly mood, leaving to school on time and for the first time ever, reach my 8am lesson on time or even early, without enlisting the help of a cab!! Yeah me!!! Of course, on the way to uni, listening/watching songs of my beloved Arjun as well as songs of Mahesh Babu is just awesome and boosted my mood even more!!!
(yes, i have become Tollywoodised.. Naaku Arjunanthae chaala ishtham..aithae, nuvvekaenti ? (if by any weird coincidence, if smeone who knows Telugu chances upon this post, pls forgive me!! My telugu/non-telugu is primarily based on watching Arjun's 6 movies and a few of Mahesh's) :P)
Perhaps, my wonderful mood is because i had nothing due today. Last week's hassle of deadline after deadline every single day did take a toll on me, i guess.
Truly, today's start of the day was one of the best starts in recent times!! Thank you God for giving me such a wonderful day today. I treasure them and hope to make more of them happen.
Also,
It's not always awkward when you meet friends after several years. At times, it seems like no time has passed since the last time we met up with them. A reunion may just as well end up being the perfect girls' night out with the casual makan date & window shopping combo. Or in today's case a Swensen's B'day treat with the "Ugly" and the Wing! With window shopping and clicking away of camera included too!
Next date for girls nite out : 3 dec (tentative)
Note to self:
On account of the girls' nite out as well as preparatory work for the next day, this post was made after 12, hence the date may come as 4 nov! But this lesson is for 3rd nov ;)

Lesson #3 : Just get rid of your distractions and u will be able to do your stuff in no time at all.
Once you focus on just one thing that you need to get done, and start working on it, you can get it done really quickly! Of course, the toughest part is always getting away from you distractions!!!

Today, i officially turned 21.
21 = access to booze/ALL movies/opening a phone line, other legal matters,etc,etc...
From last time, i only knew that turning 21 means that u r given a key..a key to what?
What does the key represent? Freedom?
While it seems to make sense in a western context, im not sure if it does apply to an Asian context, particularly in an Indian context. To me, i dun see the point of receiving a key on my birthday, just for my parents to collect it back the next day from me. An Indian girl no matter how many 21s she goes thru in her life, 21...42...63...., she will always be confined in sme way or another...
21 - under her parents' shelter
42- under her husband's shelter
63-under her children's shelter..
At each stage, there will be some restrictions, implicit or explicit..they all still exist, regardless of how fast modernity may progress..
Perhaps, 21 just means that u r an adult which just means that u are fully responsible for ur actions in a legal way.
Or maybe, it's just about reflecting or pondering on life and its lessons...
So, henceforth..i have decided to spend a few mins each day to write down 1 lesson that i learnt for the day.
Here goes..
My very 1st lesson as a 21 year old - #1 " Not all things/events should be interpreted, cos not everything that happens or doesn't happen is a sign of something."
I got this cos today when i went temple, my mum got prasadham(sweet pongal) after we finished praying and even though i was beside her,i didnt get it. It felt to me like her prayers were answered but mine wasn't. I also cld not buy the garlands for my ayya n amma that i had envisioned. I also didnt get any "thing" per say from the gods.. the other time my sis went and she got bangles from amma.. i knw it sounds damn stupid to compare myself with her..but smehow the green eyed monster tends to pop out now and then..it's not very 21ish..but i cannot help it...altho,i think being honest abt it is pretty adult...
then my usual grouse about the flowers i get..i always have this concept that orchids are bad while jasmine and yellow flowers are a good sign. But exactly 3 yrs ago, i was chided by Uncle who said " poo pothaa mattum pathaathu. so what if u get the flower" n things like that. so i have learnt to drop that thought. but cannot seem to help it when i do receive an orchid...haiz..there are loads of self-schemas i have got to alter..hahaha
So well, i cannot interpret or figure out what the gods' are thinking.. So i should stop worrying about it and think positively i guess... Here's to Positive Thinking!!
Yedhu Nadanthatho,
Adhu Nandraagavae Nadanthathu.
Yedhu Nadakiratho,
Adhu Nandraagavae Nadakirathu.
Yedhu Nadakkavirukkiratho,
Adhuvum Nandraagavae Nadakkum!!!
