Hakuna MaTattoo!

So, I've decided!! This is what my tattoo is going to look like when I get it!

For those who don't know - it's the symbol for Hakuna Matata!

AI: Get the Tattoo!! Pronto!

There's People...

Everything happens, all at once..good, bad, ugly..all at once.

There's my perpetual state of "fear of the unknown" that comes along with the matrimonial blah. There's a lot that needs to be done and I haven't even got started yet..but I'm not the only one with the happening life!

There's nice people at work leaving. And when you ask them where, they say: Somewhere. Anywhere. Everywhere. For now - I don't care!
There's marital secrets - who goes and gets married without telling anyone?! :O
There's people on crazy diets - but they're happy and I see effects of the diet ;) (Must.Draw.Inspiration)
There's people going back home for a week or is it Fi days? (I wish I was them!!)
There's people getting awards for great performance and contribution at work! Woohoo! (I believe in the hope of/from the East)
There's people figuring relationships out and having a rough time. (Downplaying the 'rough time' for sanity sake)
There's people sending Thanksgiving gifts from across the seas. (Thank God for small miracles!)
There's people who've come back to work today after an exxxxxtended weekend. (Good times ahead!)
There's people rehearsing dance to put up the best show ever in two weeks. (Hopefully, no forgetting steps this time)
There's people going to Las Vegas and living the dream. (And vowing to DRINK!)
There's people who have 30+ days of vacation, and they want to take it all now! (Pinky swear!)
There's people who bring back memories..fun memories, and force you to believe that nothing has changed. (Mad Dog Rules!)
There's people who make plans every night, multiple plans; pre-dinner, post-dinner, in-between-dinner ;) (I want to be in their brain for one day!)
There's people who're looking for a better job and I know they'll find one. They don't think so. (Keep the faith)
There's people getting bored and restless, living away from family. (I know what they feel like)
There's people who're neck deep in wedding preps (while I'm comfortably numb).
There's people looking to get their daughters married...and with that comes a lot of push-back, frustration and irritation..not to mention FEAR! (Been there, done that...still kinda there)
There's people who relentlessly keep in touch, and make you look bad just because you're not relentless. (I was once, so I hope to change it at some point)

Anyhoo...what I'm trying to say is there's a lot of people dodging the big fat balls life throws at them. They dodge, they catch, they throw back at times. It's not about how far you throw, how well you catch, how well you dodge. In the end - you dodge, catch, throw back. That's it. Nothing else matters.

So while I'm walking a verrrry tight rope with faith in my hands, I'd think what Aamir Khan said: ALL IS WELL.. or All 'will be' well. Sooner. Or later.

Five-Point Bucket List

Here's my Five Point Bucket List..

1. Get a Tattoo
One of the things I've been totally in awe of from time immemorial is body art. Tattoos make me happy. Period! Kinda exudes confidence, faith and strength.
Confidence - You need to be absolutely sure you want to punch holes into yourself and believe you can carry it off for the rest of your life (unless you're Angelina Jolie, who can remove it through skin grating sessions ).
Faith - You need to believe in the tattoo you're getting. It could be religious, philosophical, inspirational, whatever...you need to be at peace with it all your life!!
Strength - You need the strength to tolerate PAIN!!!!!

2. Piercings
Another form of body art that I like - Piercings...I want to add two more to my modest set of 6 :)

3. Sky Diving
Nothing can get my mind spinning like a good adrenalin rush. After Bungi, I really want to know what it's like to free-fall from 10000+ feet and not be bound by a rope!

4. Write a book
Something about my life maybe..actually, no. The reason why I'd want to write a book is to break away from this life and imagine life in a different world. My World. And just to add some masala - I'd like that book to be a bestseller - possibly even a Pulitzer winner. (One can dream right??)

5. ??
Yet to figure this one out. Somehow I feel that with my search to find the fifth point, I'll come across five more and make this a ten-point list. But I do know that this point would revolve around either my love for music or my passion to serve community at some point in life.
