Week Review

Been a long tme that I haven't blogged. Two weeks maybe. Not that I never had the time, just that I was lazy. Now thinking about it, what have I been doing since the past weeks? Nothing much other than cricket, cricket and more cricket!!

Life revolves around IPL and its many controversies. I have been thinking about the matches, the gorgeous players, the cheerleaders, the BJP comments about them, Bajji-Sreeshanth hussle and Shah Rukh Khan!! Oh what entertainment. I never wanted to post any comments on any topic because enough have been said and forgotten ;)

That brings me to next enertainment - Shah Rukh Khan. He's all over TV . He's at IPL, he has a new show on Star TV on which he is absolutely lovable! I am just lapping up all I can get of him. I don't think he has any movie releases this year .

Work has been going good. changes everyday and thus new challenges. Keeps the energy kicking! Didn't go anywhere, no shopping done, no exploration done...hmm...now it sounds boring!! Let's see time to bring some excitement into "Life Rocks"

"Big Brother"

Sometimes I do think that blogging publicly does expose onself to the outside world a lot. Then at times I think who the hell cares. Lately I was reading about this so called software called "Big Brother" (Yeah!Yeah! I don't blame you if you think of Shilpa Shetty) developed for tracking personalities of employees by scanning through their emails and sites visited.

The softwares checks for words drink, love, depressed, lonely, break-up, divorce, suicide, kill, penniless, or phrases like "workplace sucks". Hmm.. I wonder if ever my manager reads through my blog or even my Emails (not that I write out many personal ones) , how would he create my emotional profile??? Sounds creepy! But seems a little funny too. He would classify me as absolutely crazy, pendulum of emotions and what not!

I know that there are millions of people out there who blog. Sometimes I seriously wonder if we really have the time to connect to people across the world when we find so little time to connect to people around us. As for emotional profiling it's a great idea but aren't there people who don't let their personal life interfere in their professional life. Let me speak for myself; I am one. So how could I be judged by scanning my emails? And the case of someone spying you and tracking your activities is a real put off too! I don't know for others but I kind of erform best when I'm let go! So "Big B" could you just drop me off ;)

Distance makes the heart fonder..

I know that if I were to tell one of those madly in love couples, they would never agree with me, but I do believe that "Distance makes the heart fonder." I have noticed this in many occassions right from the years I start knowing what emotions are. I wouldn't say that phase existed when I was studying abroad. At that time life was just a turmoil for studies. I don't remember a time I felt deeply for anything else. But life changed once I came down to Kerala.



The first I missed was family. In the first few years when I met them only once a year, I used to long to be with them. I missed mom's cookig and even complimented her for the first time in 19 years. I felt I realised their importance and place in my life. I also realised that they treated me very different from what it was when I was with them. They always loved me but this time they were expressive about it.

During college times, as I stayed in hostel far away from home and went down every 2 or 3 months for a short period, again I felt the same affection! I have experienced the same with friends. I miss them occassionally but know how much I actually missed them when I see them after a long time.

Even now I experience this feeling in another sense. When I am with a group for a long time I don't feel the emotions what I actually feel for them. It's only when I don't talk to them for a long time does my heart grow fonder. As it is I have never been able to maintain friend ship by a continuous every day contact. I prefer my space and give them theirs, and love them all!!!
