Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli.................

Today morning as I was driving to work, I was listening to this beautiful song from Anand - Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli...Hai, Kabhi tho hasaye, kabhi yeh rulaye...

Not just the first line, but the whole song is very nice. Music, Lyrics and Singing of course.........Made my day :))

In fact all the songs in Anand are very nice. I love the movies that I call as A4.

Anand, Abhimaan Amar Prem and Anupama.

Monday Musings

We had a very good weekend. Saturday we totally relaxed at home, played around with iTunes, iPod and ripped some music into my iPod. Generally lazing at home. Evening we went out for a dinner date and movie. :) Sunday morning both me and Rajesh went to gym exercised, then relaxed and in the evening we went shopping and we cooked food for the week. In between this we did some laundry (some because I did not fold the clothes...just washed them) and some general house cleaning. So, overall if I look at it, it was really a good weekend, because it was a good blend of relaxation and work.

But I am still feeling guilty that I still did not lot of other stuff like folding the clothes, ironing (which I have do myself here :((( ) and writing birthday cards and sending them out.......etc etc etc.....

But I was analyzing as to why I was guilty and could not find a satisfactory answer. Sometimes (not always), I feel that maybe I set my own expectations very high and then feel bad when I cannot meet them. :( I used to rebel against Amma and Rajesh when they told me something, now I am doing that to myself. LOL. Life is very strange indeed.

Anyways, despite my guilty (so not so guilty) feelings, we had a good weekend and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. We saw Monster In Law Movie in dollar theater. So did not feel bad that we spent 3 dollars only for that movie. Also watched Forgotten at home. Watched Rush hour 2 on TBS. :))

Finished a book by Kay Hooper (Hunting Fear) and Iris Johansen (Face of Deception).

Choice and Regrets

You might be wondering how come I have a title like this for my post. I realized that at some level they are kind of intertwined. I was reading a post about Choices that we make on one of my friends post and that kind of started me off on my own post.

This past weekend, we were in a Pool Party and one of our friends are going to India to get settled there, so the topic of conversation was how to make that choice and how somebody had regrets that they could not spend much time with their parents etc. So, the choices we made are what we regret.

So many times when me and Rajesh have talked about this, I always tell him that we should not regret the choices we have made in the past because the - situation/circumstances and parameters now are not the same as they were during that time and we cannot decide now if that decision/choice was wrong or right. But what ever we think or not, we will still regret some of those choices. We tend to analyze (or not) and make the best choice at any given point of time.

And as my cousin Shashi would say - The road / path never traveled. There are always thoughts on what would have happened if you had taken the other path.. We will never know it, but we have to go on with life with the belief that this is the best choice we could have made.

Then I was thinking that regrets are part of life, and if we accept them and move on, that's it kinds. And personally speaking of regrets, they are fleeting and then as my friend said life goes on. Back to Iris Johansen books, gym, food, movie/tv... etc.
