I think I am in love...but I yet have to figure out whom with!

The great paradox of our time
Taking off for two months from the office routine of 9-5, has given me a chance to do quite a few things that were not happening because of the usual routine.
It has given me chance to be in bed till late, meet up with relatives who I didn’t even remember existed, be lazy, browse through TV channels aimlessly, read all the books that were piled up on my bedside since forever and take up freelance projects.
It was on one such freelance project meeting yesterday that the talk shifted from work to routine to earning money and then to the lifestyles of today’s world.
The client (who I know on a personal level too) seemed pretty pensive about how in today’s world we have lost track of our priorities.
She talked about how our possessions are multiplying, but our values are reducing-how we have learned how to make a living, but not a life-how big men can be, but end up with small characters-how we buy more and enjoy less!
I was impressed, because I was talking to a woman who was a big achiever and a role model for many. Before I could ask any questions she herself revealed that in the recent past she has lost quite a few loved ones and that is what has made all the material things invaluable for her.
During this conversation my cell phone rang. I excused myself to answer the call. As I was keeping my cell phone back she looked at me and said
“ Kanwal please its time to change the mobile set, that’s an old one!”
I told her as soon as I have an extra money I shall buy a new cell phone because for the moment there were much more important things that needed to be taken care off!
As I was leaving the office, I smiled to myself thinking that no matter what we portray and however hard we are trying to change our outlook towards life, deep inside we are all stuck in the same rut, consciously or unconsciously.
At one moment we were talking about how immaterial material things can be and the next we were talking about switching perfectly usable cell phones!
So much for a lifestyle….some things just never change, do they?

another realization
"you can love someone & not want to share his life with him...or be able to..."

Over two weeks now....
Only this year did Mumbai have to experience the worst rainfall in the last decade, (making you stranded there), only now do I feel the intensity of missing someone whos been gone for over two weeks; only now does every second seem to be the longest time ever, only now do I realize how uncertain uncertainity can be; only now do I wish I could charter a helicopter and come and see you in the midst of those monsoon rains!
I know I am winning the race against patience, but please come back soon...You are missed!
