Sharing an amazing video that I found on Abhishek's Blog...
How I wish, all of us celebrated life in such an innocent and carefree way..
Have a great weekend ahead :)
"Wasssupp?? Wats new??"
In everyday lingo, this is a very common question friends ask each other.
This one, generally leaves a talkative person like me speechless !
Yeah...As in, I don't really have any answers to "wasssupppp gal? Life mai naya kya hai..?" And this coming from people who I talk frequently with...
On mumbling vague answers, I am often told..oh God ! How boring ! Don't you ever get bored?
Well, No. I hardly ever get bored.
Lovely family, cutest pet, fabulous friends, good music, amazing books, stable work, teaching, movies are enough to fill me with excitement.
Why would I ever get bored??
Also, I am perfectly fine being by myself. I can stay perfectly happy and calm even in my own company. Is this very difficult to comprehend?
On the contrary, I find it hard when people seek constant company, for they are afraid of loneliness. On being told that no, I didn't do anything out of the world over the weekend, yesss, I was at home, spent time playing with my pet and chatting with my mom, I am often told that this is a boring activity !
Maybe, I should be spending more time out, dining with more people, making new friends, attending clubs and parties and basically something out of the world to "show" that yaa...I do have an exciting life !
Well, all I have to say is, I don't have to go far to find happiness. I find it at home.
With elaborate family luncheons.
With friends visiting and making it a merry day.
With teaching.
With watching some world class cinema from my newly acquired collection.
And, I don't ever get bored. It would take a Tsunami of boredom to bore me.
So, next time you ask me wassuppp?! Be prepared to get a boring reply yet again !
An elderly man in Mumbai calls his son in New York and says,
'I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 35 years of marriage... and that much misery is enough!'
'Dad, what are you talking about?' the son screams.
'We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,' the old man says. 'We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her!'
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.
'Like heck they're getting divorced,' she shouts, 'I'll take care of this.'
She calls Mumbai immediately, and screams at the old man, 'You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then , don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR??' and she hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. 'Okay', he says, 'It's all set. They're both coming for Diwali and paying their own airfare!!'
MORAL:
No man / woman is busy in this world all 365 days.
The sky is not going to fall down if you take few days LEAVE and meet your dear ones.
WORK IS NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE and MONEY MAKING IS NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE.
Dear All - This email forward couldn't have come at a better time.
With the festive season on it's way - do take time off for loved ones.
Cheers !
