So...

Isn't it weird that people who talk so much about you (behind your back that is) think they know everything about you and they have the right to do so?

I just find these people are amazing. They make conclusions and define the kind of person you are when they have barely known what you have gone through in your life. Well, limited minds have limited thoughts. If they can sit and talk about others all the time, and think what other rumours so called news to spread, gosh, I can imagine how boring their life is. I hardly even have time to think what to eat or cook!And these people have all the time in the world to talk about others?! Wow...

As the saying goes, what goes around comes around. Spreading untrue stories about another person to others will one day come back biting. How? Well, karma has its own way dealing with these people.

I always feel, if you have nothing good to say, just shut up. Stop spending your "bored times" thinking what to talk about others. Use it to make yourself better. Use it to improve your life. Always remember, no one is faultless and perfect in this world.

The world had only ONE Mother Theresa. And she's dead.

Blogger goes mobile!

About a year back I downloaded an Android application that is supposedly to help me blog on the go. Unfortunately, one post later I decided to abandon the idea of using the application. Simply because it was more hassle than anything else.

As I hardly had any time after that to blog (I rarely sit down in front of PC unless for work purpose), my blogging seemed to drift away from my daily musing.

Today out of curiosity, I searched for "Blogger" in Google Play and guess what? Google has finally released an Android application for Blogger! So here I am, my first post from the mobile Blogger :)

Every end has a beginning

That's the tag that we use to console ourselves, injecting our souls with the hope of getting something different - better or worse doesn't matter, just something different - to carry on with our lives. 

We hope to see changes, hope to gain something or lose something, hope to create something or destroy something. 

As the new year approaches, I am filled with mixed feelings. But I am choosing to not bother about all the things that is not going to help me move forward. I cannot do anything to change people, but I can do something to change myself. 

So this new year, I want to start a new life.  People often say that we often don't know what we had until we lost it. But for me, I didn't know what I have been losing until I found it.

I am glad I've found a diamond that I once thought I will never find again.

The next chapter

It took me some time to digest the things that swirled around me this past few weeks.

First was my resignation from my job. As much as I loved what I was doing, I always felt there is room for me to get something better. Although I did not actively seek out for a new opportunity, one came smacking on my face. 

A good one too.

After contemplating and weighing everything under the sun, I decided to let go my comfort zone and plunge into unknown territory. It was the same feeling I had when I lost Sathyan - learning to let go and be brave enough to explore new environment. It wasn't easy, and I cannot say things will be better, but surely, I will get there. Part of the learning and growing up process, eh? :)

I tendered my resignation within 2 weeks after my promotion. Left a week later. I felt both good and sad. Good because I know I have made a decision that will improve my life, bring some vital changes that I have been looking forward (better working hours mainly) but sad because I have to be away from things that I am familiar with - my friends, family and home. Also from a job that I did so well in. But I do know, my stress level were going up and honestly, I was hoping some miracle would happen and get me a new job.

I got it :P

So here I am, having a cup of coffee, taking a step back, giving myself a short break, and looking forward for a new beginning in few days time.
