AHA Moments of Lyfe....

They rightly say we miss out on small moments of joy in pursuit of bigger ones. It’s not only the big achievements and feats and accolades that counts, you have got to learn and enjoy smaller things that makes you happy and makes you learn to enjoy and understand the nuances of lyfe....

These are some random Aha moments (!!!) as I like to call them, which are adding up that extra bit of fun and happiness in my lyfe which effortlessly brings smile on my face reminding that the lyfe is beautiful - its worth living every moment......

> An evening on beach

> Buying a new book (And the best part is, I read them too…. J)

> Glancing through frozen times.

> Posting a blog entry and getting a comment.

> Spending Sunday evening with friends over gentlemanly deeds. (Needs no further explanation)

> Listening to Friday Night Love Show by Fali was one such moment.

> Nostalgia in the moments of solitude.

> Reading “Cosmic Uplink” in ET editorial early in the morning.

> Random discussions with friends over a dose of caffeine at CCD.

> Listening to With Or Without You after short hiatus.

> Dressing up in black on anyday anytime....

> Being alone in crowd.


These are not the only but some of the many of those AHA Momentz.... How about yours.....?

Muje change chahiye......

Yeah.... I need change........ of 100/- or 500/- or may be 1000/-

It seems strange and funny but true... As usual I don’t understand why I run out of change every time, everywhere.......

Having change in my wallet is like a luxury for me, owing to my poor track record of having change, which causes embarrassment at general stores to even at auto rickshaw Walla’s.....

Looking for change with 100/- note in hand is like searching for water in desert, the whole world seems to be running out of change when I need it... (or is it a well planned conspiracy ha....??!!!)

There are two types of situation, 1st is when you know that you don’t have change (and you know you cant do anything about it) and you go to buy something, in this situation you tend to get defensive and pray that the person will not ask for change, and when you really get what you want without being asked for change, its like...... phewwww.... bach gaye....

2nd type of scenario…… You don’t even know that your running out of change until its the time for payment, and when you realize this harsh reality(of lyfe), your facial expression says that its the biggest shock of your lyfe.... and the eternal struggle to find the change starts with one of those high denomination notes in hand.... or else you end up buying more than you really want....

Imagine a scenario where after buying chewing gum for 2/- you end up buying chewing gum plus mineral water plus chocolate plus chocolate cream biscuits (!!!) plus what not.... just because you did not have change...... well, these things are not new to me....

One more..... I invariably catch the auto rickshaw and then realize that I don’t have change....when I offer 100/- note to him, he looks at it trying to copy my embarrassment as if its a fake note.....( and I feel like banging my head on the meter which reads as 9/-)....
And this thing invariably happens while coming back home.... but in this situation I take the help of my lender of the last resort... Yes my building watchman.... I have lost the number of count as to how many times I have borrowed 10/- from him. He comes across as god send savior in this moment of crisis.....

So... all you people out there who sympathize with me and reciprocate these feeling are welcome to share the views... May be together we can find out the solution for this....
