So soon ...so far..

I prefer talking to friends and family over calls,so my daily mails usually have bulks from various shopping sites, social network, job-search sites and brand promotions. I give a quick mail-check for couple of times a day.

I was doing the same today,scrolled down quickly, up again.Then I saw..
Subject line: Missed you

A mail from friend with whom I lost touch,after college.No matter how busy, it is good to hear from people who may not be so close to us , but we definitely had good time together. She is one of them and old memories filled in.Its been more than 2 years since I graduated and it feels like just yesterday. At one point I've come so far,met some amazing people, grown as person, travelled and at other point I am still holding everything fresh in my fist,as if every thing was static all this time and nothing has changed.

Nostalgic...

So soon, So far...!!!


NOTE: We celebrate Children's day here in India on 14th November. Happy Children's Day Everyone. Let that child within all of us stay alive. Enjoy!!

A Long Pause

Found this statement again today, but this time with an immense impact. Its just another day in my life,but I tend to think about my life when I am less occupied with work. I had always been a chatter box all my life, and talking to people immensely pleased me. I am forced to think this as I realised I have spoken hardly 100 words today, including 25-30 words I used at Food Counters during lunch,a few "Hi-Hello" and this happens almost everyday.

I desperately wanted to work and be independent,I dreamt of a career(which is not as amazing as I thought of),and I have it.And as some wise men say " everything has a price", I had to sacrifice the chirpy me. And when I say this, it is not what I actually did,it happened with time,without my knowledge.Nothing changed and everything did.

Life is funny indeed,I got a job so that I could afford a life but then I spend all my time working and end up with no time to live the life I am working for. Amazing!!

Me- In Bits And Pieces

Hello people,
Hope you are doing good. :)
I wanted to start blogging long back but I was falling short of topics to write on.
I always felt that I can express myself better through writing rather than verbally, but writing an introduction is the difficult most part for me.I have decided to give it a try this time.

Well let me introduce myself in my first post.
My name is Aanchal.
I am twenty something girl,single(though not by choice presently),I do wish,I had someone.Ok lets skip this, may be will write about that in future. I work as Software Engineer in Chennai, though I belong to a small city,Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh)in Northern India. Work keeps me away from family, and I visit home twice a year. My family is my parents and younger brother who is studying Engineering. My father runs small business, a business which was sufficient to raise money for our education but not huge enough to spend lavishly.

Good and Bad about me :

1. I am 5'3( wish I had few more inches),and I wear glasses.
2. I may not be beautiful,but I consider myself intelligent ( not to boast, some random people also think the same).
3. I smile/laugh a lot and few feel weird about that but I really don't care.
4. I am not very God inclined person,but not an atheist. I do go to temple to say sorry/thanks.
5. I find it impossible to say 'No' to people, and that sucks.
6. I just googled and found,I share my birthday(different year)with many famous people, Michelle Obama is one of them(others I dont even know).
7. I love to shoot and being shot( by camera) but thats not a passion.
8. I have never been to pub/disc/club and that again sucks.
9. I can live on chicken diet all my life.
10. I just can't stand people who act over smart.
11. I love Bruce Willis and I can watch Die Hard over and over again.
12. I am incomplete without my music player, just can't manage without it.
13. I am a good listener and an excellent advisor, But I can not take decisions in my own life.
14. I easily make friends and I have many but I do not like to share much.When it comes to sharing, I know people won't exactly feel what I am going through and so find it worthless.
15. My friends suggest I should be a counsellor, I can boost people with confidence and buck up them.
16. I wish, I had atleast one talent.
17. I love dogs and babies.
18. I do have mood swings,annd people doubt, If something is wrong when I am quite.
19. I have love for books.
20. I prefer to leave bathroom lights on at night,because in dark I hallucinate scary figures and noise of fan soothing to me.
21. At times, I am judgemental. I assume things about people, at times regret.
22. I get angry and 120 seconds later I can be back to normal.
23. I wish to travel around the world.
24. I imagine(I wish I could actually do) myself punching people I can't stand.
25. I blabber and giggle a lot when I am nervous.
26. I go shopping when I am disturbed or mad at someone.New clothes calm me down.
27. I wish to learn swimming and I don't even know how to drive a car.
28. I miss home all the time, but I never tell my parents about it.
29. I don't know how to dance but I don't miss any chance to dance whenever possible.

I really don't know where to stop and I don't know how well I wrote but I wish to continue in future.
