life !!

Just a few days ago I was thinking to myself.. that my life is seriously a load of crap.. I mean can things get any worser than what they already have ???
I havent even completed what I set out for .. dont even have a stable ground and the family wants me to get married to this guy I have no clue about .. and not in the far off future.. they want me to reply in 2 days ... and then the wedding will be held in december ..
I was just so worked up ... the whole family breathing down my back trying to get me to say yes.. infact what surprised me was that dad was all in for it too .. infact it was dad's idea.. that guy is 28 .. I mean I am getting old I get it.. but common I am only 22 and thats a big difference for me..
Well anyways.. things kindaa just went off for me .. and then one night I was at work.. and these 2 females came in .. one of them with some serious figure issues.. and I dont mean she was fat .. I mean it was like she had some sort of surgery done or something and her body was totally disproportionate.. and her friend .. when I served her .. I saw closely I realised that she must have had some serious accident or something.. and her face was totally off .. I mean I saw the stitches on her forehead.. running horizontally across her forehead.. I could see the thread going through.. .. after they left .. I went to the back room and threw up.. I have never seen anything like this.. and that just set me off.. my heart couldnt take it...

It was later that night that I realised how lucky I am .. just to be alive.. and well... with no mishaps in life.. with no such terrible reminders to live with ..
God brings your faith back in weird ways.. one minute you are cursing your life and the next minute you are thanking god for making you the way he did.. for giving you all that he has...

Seriously that one night put things back in place for me.. straightened out my perspective....

After 3 years of distance and constant cancellation of tickets to India.. and hearing mom's upset voice when i would tell her that I am not able to come again .. I am finally getting to go home.. its like a dream come true.. and so far I see NO hiccups.. which is the best thing.. man I have planned this trip for so long .. I'll practically kiss the ground the minute I land in India.. wooh!!! its like this big god know how to describe this feeling.. this thing inside me.. which is making my heart beat so fast... anyways just come back home from work...and too tired to write anymore.. so i guess i might just go and finish my book.. sit with the family for a bit and then hit the sack..... WOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO.... I am going HOME.. I am going to India.. YIPPYYYYYYYYYY.....
