I left home an hour ago feeling pretty miserable. I went for a walk around Bandra lanes searching for answers. I was just a few minutes away from home feeling even more lost when I ran into an old lady who stays a lane away. I used to see her often at one of my previous work places. Jean is sweet, humble and always has a blessing on her lips for everyone she meets. Just a few seconds talk with her and I was in a different frame of mind. Sometimes all it takes is a smile/hug/flower/sms/just a kind word to reinstate your faith that there is a higher power, call it God or Nature or Lifetron, something that sustains us and wants us alive, even when we think that we have lost it all. There is hope. God bless you.

We have a new recruit in office. We call him C.P.C. For people well versed with digital media and the way it works, C.P.C stands for Cost Per Click. It also stands for Cute Pussy Cat. Yes, C.P.C is a cat.

C.P.C. is the coolest cat ever. He comes to our desks and sits with us. On days, he even stares at our monitors and supervises our work. His favourite activity is to rub himself against our jeans and get pampered by all. So much so that a few days back, he ran all the way from the garden area to the gate to greet me and get his daily dose of love and affection.

This feline takes lunch time very seriously. As soon as anyone is out in the garden area with his or lunch box open, C.P.C. makes the cutest face that it gets impossible to not feed him. These days he’s been practicing high jumps. He doesn’t hesitate to jump up to anything wielded at him.

Here’s him: http://twitter.com/#!/Doveye/status/133857445234745344/photo/1 Hehe. Some idiot tied a leash on him. Cats are free souls!

Update: Feb 04 C.P.C. is no more. He got ran over a car on the 1st of this month. Very tragic. Will miss you dearly, my friend. Rest in peace. Thank you

A pigeon is a medium-sized seed-eating bird with a small head, short legs and a cooing voice. It’s very similar to but generally larger than a dove. There are many varieties of wild or domesticated birds, selectively tamed to carry home messages tied to the neck or leg. A dove is a stocky bird very similar to, but generally smaller than a pigeon. It is gentle and those who oppose violence are referred to as doves.

This trivia may be absolutely useless to you but I felt like posting it. I’m going through an identity crisis

If you’ve always been a quiet listener then speaking your heart out makes you feel like you’ve lost a bit of your soul.

At this hour, what hurts the most is not old memories or words said or unsaid but the corners of wooden tables that you walk into when its dark. GN!

I might not be someone’s first choice, but I am a great choice. I may not be rich but I am valuable. I don’t pretend to be someone I’m not, because I’m good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things I’ve done in the past, but I am proud of who I am today. I may not be perfect but I don’t need to be. Take me as I am, or watch me as I walk away.

Thanks, Sandip for this…

We won awards at the IDMA 2011 I is happies.

There must have been some good that I have done. That’s why I have the honour of knowing some special people and calling them friends. I met one such person today. A friend who has been a wall and a pillar of my emotional support. An angel to me who has been there during my darkest hours…

To you, thank you…for being there. God bless you!
