Hmm.

I wanted to write a post yesterday on your birthday, Karen. I couldn’t.

It had something to do about me being grateful. For a lot of things.

If you search for “Rishi Talreja” on google, this essay that you wrote months ago shows up on the first page(8th in list). There’s another story associated with it. And there have been numerous conversations between the two of us which has led to many inspiring things. One particular being where we talked about how we can focus on a lot of things every day and still find time for our work. I”ll be writing a separate post on that later this week.

I wanted to discuss this and more in detail. But time went by and even today seems to be coming to an end. I couldn’t write it today morning. So, before this day ends, I wanted to write something to make me remember later. I’ve decided to do things more than planning to do things. And this is one such thing. I am too sleepy right now to continue.

Thanks. For a lot of things.

P.S. You still remind me of my childhood. #TimeTravel

One of the most interesting movies I’ve ever seen is Before Sunset (A sequel to Before Sunrise, which is great too by the way). In the movie, Celine has this quote,

Memories are wonderful things, if you don’t have to deal with the past.

I found that very funny when I first heard it in the movie. And I’ve seen that movie many times. I don’t know if it was there in the movie just for fun or if it had a deeper meaning. It sure does for me now. Continue reading →

With the passage of time, you have become me and I’ve become you. When there was strangeness, there was still a comfort, a knowingness and the surprise how alike we were. With time, we dug out the best and worst in each other. And then we separated our ways. It is still the same now and not a thing has changed. Because you are what I was and I am what you were. And I have to be what I wanted to be and so do you. And you were what I wanted you to be most times and I was what you wanted me to be most times. If you believe in time, this is how it will confuse you. I believe in you. And I believe that you will soon know what I knew back then, because after all you are me and I am you. Yes, I understand one is all and all is one.

I just had a talk with Rahul Somasundar, who was about to go for an interview, about what I want to do with my life. He is one of those few people who feels good about the fact that I don’t want to work for someone. That does not mean I don’t want to work at all. I am working on three things presently – iHelp, TSTG and WebTri.

So I was travelling to the Mumbai University last week with Rahul Somusundar and he decided to pay for the auto rickshaw. He knew the fare already as a friend had informed him of it. He still was a little doubtful that the guy was cheating him with the fare so he asked to have a look at the fair chart. I commented that it was funny he’d do it, because I am a person who trusts people by default, and he said, “Its my right to information.” And we both laughed.

I slept at around 5 last evening which was supposed to be a nap of 30 minutes. I woke up to realize it was 6:18 which would have been okay but it wasn’t because it was the morning next day. Trying to open my heavy as lead eyes is never a task I enjoy and to top it my body won’t respond to me. I felt numb initially but once I woke up from bed (And funnily the morning alarm set off on my iPhone just after that, that is at 6:30 ), I realized I’d slept so much that I am going to be lazy all day today and it is no different than a hangover minus the alcohol. The world seems to spin around me but it feels like its going away slowly and I don’t understand why. My mom made me a nice cup of tea just now which might help a little. Continue reading →

Okay! What’s a good way to start writing a journal? A public journal? Guess what? I don’t know! But what I know is there is no right or wrong way to do it or for that matter, anything. I can either think and be smart or not think twice and be honest. I prefer the latter. Welcome to my world. I am living my life right now and documenting it for others to see. I don’t know why they’d want to but then we all do things just because. Here’s to life, to love and laughter!
