Life and holidays – something to ponder about

1 Reply

This is one of the email that forwarded to me by one of my dear friend “Chintu” – his real name is Nikhil and I’m thankful to him for sharing it with me and I thought that it should be shared with the world and so here’s this wonderful point that some guy named Naren wrote. I’ve to say – Naren, brilliant thoughts!!!

Dearest Friends,

We are leaving for a holiday to Lakshwadeep this May. Fantastic preparations have been done. The train reservations are in place. Enough information has been gathered on the places to visit and things to do. The right kind of clothing, the necessary medicines, the anticipatory boredom tackling schemes have been discussed in details.

The best place to stay has been booked. A few local contacts too have been found. The right company for the holidays have been identified, convinced and enthused.

The holidays are still more than a month away. We leave on 6th of May. But everyday there is a discussion on how to make the holidays the best ever. For brilliant memories, a camera, a handicam, enough spare batteries have already found there way to the luggage.

This makes me wonder. We plan so well for the holidays. Most of us do not plan our life so well. Why?

Is it because holidays sound ‘fun’ and life not so?

Is it because holidays are a break from routine and life is routine?

Is it because holidays are an escape and life to me looks like a bondage?

Is it because I look forward to holidays while I look behind in life?

Kya baat hai? Sochoooo mmmm?

Like Farhan Akhtar croons in the movie ‘Rock on’…

Socha Hai Kya Tumne Kya Kabhi?

Socha Hai Kya Tumne Kya Kabhi?

Socha Nahi to Socho Abhiiiiiii…

Happy holidays,

With love, prayers and best wishes,

Celebrated Diwali with harsh-O-ullas!

Leave a reply

Oh! for the non Hindi speaking people…harsh-O-ullas is not a name of a person, it means joy :D . Well, I thought that life will be difficult in Chennai but it seems that I’m enjoying each and every bit of it. Me, Shashank, Anubhav, Rajat & his in-laws were here with us in the office to perform the Diwali Pooja.

We let uncle do the Pooja ceremony as he’s the elder one and then we all followed, luckily I had my Handy CAM so, all’s recorded in the video, which I’ve put at the end of the post and then Anubhav had bring his camera and so we did click some still photographs as well.

After that, I went with Rajat and his in-laws to their place (but after spending some time with Shashank & Anubhav and later we were joined by Uncle..no-no not the actual uncle but we call Anurag as Uncle) and we burst lots of crackers and had our dinner…over all, I enjoyed a lot !!!!

Here are the photos and the video :
