long time!!

Havent been blogging a lot lately .. just been too caught up with work.. and all the rest of the daily grind of life..
life's good.. infact havent felt this alive in a very long time.. even though things are busy I am happy.. relaxed.. doing things I like for a change...

Went ice skating the other day .. it was great fun.. fell on my arse twice.. hit bad.. but it was amazing fun .. then I am learning Tennis these days.. for some reason I have taken up all the sports again .. and my coach is a great guy .. very patient .. I told him the first day I went for my session, that he might really need to be patient with me.. and he seems really supportive .. lets see how much I manage to learn .. might be fun to play with my dad..

Its so funny .. the first bowling alley in India was in the city I am from .. but I never did bowl.. not once.. used to go there.. but was too concious.. so never gathered the guts to roll a bowl .. but the other day I decided that I should give that a chance too.. so went bowling.. and manage to score 53 points.. not good atall.. I know .. but still for a first timer.. and specially for me.. it was great ..

Feeling amazing.. started painting again .. going for salsa lessons soon too .. Its like I wanna do everything at one time only .. just like been let out of a cage.. and wanna roam the entire jungle.. see whats out there.. too many things to do.. and I have wasted a whole lotta time doing nothing.. so its time that I catch up with life..

Anyways better gett o bed now.. havent slept all night.. Again .. hehehe...

Will blog later.. probably post some snaps of the ice skating session..

good night world

some guy ..

Being in the customer service industry .. (as of right now .. atleast )precisely I work in a video store.. I come across a variety of people...

And I was lucky enough to find work in the same suburb as my residence.. so given the time that I have been working there (2 years now) I know a fair bit of people .. some better than others..

A few weeks ago I was at work and this guy who comes there quite often came by and asked me to assist him in finding some movies .. Indian fellow. and coz We get paid to be sweet and smiley all the time.. I pretty much always have a smile on my face.. and i try and be as friendly with people as I can .. So anyways this guy, he had come with a mate of his.. and suddenly when his mate went out of earshot . he came to me and said I hate the fact that my friend is here.. I wish i was here by myself.. I didnt take it seriously .. I thought may be he doesnt like people choosing movies for him .. or something like that ..

Anyways I was working the next day too.. and around the same time this guy shows up at the store again .. this time I was extremely busy.. so I wasnt able to pay much attention to any one customer. So he comes up to me and asks me if i could spare a few minutes for him ..as always I tought it might be about some help with some movies...so once I was a lil free I went up to him.. and asked him what I could help him with this time.. He turns to me and tells me that he would like to play a game with me.. which was extremely surprising.. but anyways i said ok.. explain .. now he started asking me these weird questions..
Q1: have you seen this movie named " GIGLI" ?
my ans: No.

Q2: would you ever watch it ?
my ans: No.

Q3: would you ever go out with a married guy ?
my ans: No .. NEVER .

Q4: Do you have a " Boyfriend" ?
my ans: none of your business.. but yes..

then he just said ok .. now i gotta go .. by this time I had got a pretty good idea as to what was going on there ...

But I asked him why sis he ask me all these questions ?/ he said he was keen on me and was wondering if I was available..
Later in this conversation I came to know that He is MARRIED.. and had a love marriage about a year and a half ago .. and that got me really curious.. I bluntly asked him if he was allright ?? since he is married .. with a love marriage and all.. and he is asking someone else out.. ..

HE didnt exactly reply much to it .. but for some reason I thought that I must try to help him.. just try and find out the reason for this behaviour.. and may be if i can try.. just help him get back to his senses...

anyways that was just that moment .. that whole help thought.. later on I got to thinking under what circumstances would one be ready to cheat ?? be married to someone and still wich to see someone else ?? betray your own wife/husband???

lots of reasons... but still cant seem to justify this betrayal..
