Weird thoughts ...

First day in Target Banglore -- I am all dressed up and raring to go. Formal dress was important and hence different from my IBM experince of jeans and flotters/canvas. I had worn normal chappal style flat foot wears with my suit. They were looking good and nobody in their wildest dreams could have imagined that such b'ful and innocent looking shoes can do even a slight harm to my feet. But they did. They bit me ...so badly and in BOTH feet that i can never forget the torment. I hated those shoes. I hated the day when I bought them. I hated myself to have bought them. And i was in trouble. I was supposed to wear formals daily. I could not even give myself the permission to think of myself wearing flotters with suits and trousers. That was the moment when I had to take a decision. And a decision I did take. I will carry my pair of flotters in my bag and will wear them whenever I would feel that i would have to walk too much. I know it sounds silly ... People laugh when I tell them the idea. But I know that this is one of the best decisions i have ever taken. Like today ... when the journey to total mall seemed never ending ... my feet were battered by another rather innocent looking chappals .. I came back to offc and changed to my sweet flotters. Nobody is noticing it today because I am wearing patialas. They almost cover your feet. So I am wearing my flotters and walking easily and i am happy!! :) :)

Changing equations

Life is weird. No cliches. I mean it. It really is weird. Relationships change. For good or for bad .. but they change.

The person you cannot imagine your life without , may become hardly an acquaintance. Decent hello and hi or probably not even that. A stranger can become dearer than life. Friends become family and sometimes family becomes less frequent. A person who is introduced as your lead becomes an elder brother figure. The first person you meet in college and hit off really well may turn out to be "just a someone i know" over the years. A room mate becomes closer than a sister!

These changing equations make me wonder. Who is there for life? I fear that the people whom i love so much today, will they stay with me forever? But nobody stays forever. They depart. But then isn't every person unique? Everyone has a different story to narrate and different story to offer. Yes Equations change. People change. But memories don't.

How really strange is the world and stranger are the ways!
