HI Again,
Sorry i was out of the office again for a few days.
Its the 6th day of Ramadan and i seem to have lost 6 lbs already. (just kidding, though i wish it were so easy). Next week is Vijaya Dashami and even though i will not be celebrating, as i am still in the 1 year mourning period for my uncle, i think some good spirits are in order. Will get some friends to come over for dinner maybe.
I guess these are the times when you actually miss friends and family. Boo Hoo Hoo.
I sincerely wish lots of cheers (in more ways than one) for all of you. My friends and family. I hope this season will bring a lot of joy and happiness into your lives and if there is anyone you need to say it to, then maybe this is as good a time as any. Sometimes we seem to have all the right sentiments within us and feel them too, but never quite get around to expressing them.
I consider myself very lucky (and i thank GOD everyday for this) that i have a great family and great friends. And now i will sound old for my 2 1/2, ahem, odd decades that i have been on this planet and preach a little (as if i have not done enough already).
As important as money is, and as Amitabh in a movie once and recently a politician taking bribe on TV, said "Paisa Khuda toh Nahi, par Khuda ki Kasam, Khuda se kam bhi nahi".
Once you've started earning it and have spent the first flush of your paycheck on a few stupid luxuries, you realise that friendships and relationships matter more. I think any of us would happily give up a couple of paychecks for the pleasure (and pain sometimes) of hearing from your friends.
Just imagine how empty life would be without the following:
a) Sri Sri Sri Prashanth's moral-tinged oratory.
b) Globe trotting Shyam's cutting remarke and movie reviews.
c) Comrade Cathy's socialistic tirades
d) HRH Prabir's extremes. Absolute silence or Gutter wit.
e) The Talented Mr Vishal's very eloquent and erudite musings.
etc etc.
Whatever!
Have a very Happy Dusshera and do remember me in your prayers.
Love All.
Vish
