My Passion,my Obsession,my Latest Addiction..........Farmville:


My Passion,my Obsession,my Latest Addiction..........Farmville:

My life is devoted to a single cause as of now & that is,Farmville.Yes i am referring to that addictive game on Facebook that has changed the face of the gaming world.

I am no longer considered to be an ordinary mortal...no sirree...everything has changed, I am now a dedicated farmer. My life has undergone a radical change after farmville....i eat,sleep,drink & think farmville.

Whenever people see me thinking & contemplating something,it is all about farmville.I wonder if my crops are alright,if i should harvest them and if that is done,when should i plant the next lot?You can call me a dedicated farmer.My farm is all that matters to me.I can renounce my daily soaps,my meals and even the gossip with my friends,but no....i can never leave farmville.

My emotions change everyday with farmville,i laugh with it,i cry with it....especially when it takes a long time to load....i am the proud owner of 2 dairy farms & a chicken coop.....whoop!!!I look after my crops with TLC(tender loving care),harvest my crops and yes all my animals are well fed and well looked after.I have even received the pretty garden ribbon.

Farmville is a necessary evil.I love it and even though it gets a little monotonous at times,i can never leave it.After books and diamonds,Farmville is a girl`s best friend

The Unpredictable Aspect of Life


There are many things in life that we take for granted,maybe we do not even realize it,it is an involuntary action but then that`s the way it usually happens....we take all our loved ones for granted....knowing,believing that they will be there for us through thick & thin.We smile with them,cry with them, fight interminably with them and interact with them on a daily basis that knowingly or unknowingly they become an integral part of our life... We cannot even envisage life without these people...let`s call them our relatives....our kith and kin..or a bit distant... friends......those people that thank god,we can choose!!! We are dependent on these people..mentally,emotionally ....they are an outlet for our feelings,our nascent emotions and our pain and frustration...but what do we expect from them? We expect unconditional love and support though we are at our selfish best when we are with these people. can we even think of a life without these people?Death is a reality is it not? You must be wondering as to why i am talking about death in the context of life...well,they are two sides of the same coin,are they not? When a near & dear relative departs forever,we grieve for him,but do we ever consider for a moment that these people are also on the same path?That they will also leave us forever and depart one day....that it might be a sudden occurrence or a painful & slow journey. This reminds me of the story that i`d read ...that of the yaksha & Yudhisthira & the Enchanted Pool.When the yaksha asks Yudhisthira what is the ultimate wonder in this life & Yudhisthira replies in his usual inimitable manner that everyday we see men departing for Yama`s abode,yet those who live,seek to live forever......these thoughts are to be pondered are they not and yet such is the beauty of life...we cling onto everything that we have and do not even think that we might lose it all someday.....sounds a bit morbid but then this is life....unpredictable but beautiful nevertheless.

Freedom.....a Quintessential desire of life



Freedom.....a Quintessential desire of life

Have you ever noticed an eagle`s flight?The way it is poised before its flight and then graciously and magnificently with a final swoop is poised and ready to fly.Don`t we all wish,at some point or the other that we could spread our wings like that and just fly without a single care in this world.The eagle,to me is the embodiment of freedom.It is statuesque,possesses an innate grace and fluidity and is sharp and clearly focused on its goal.Its gaze is unwavering and focused and when it sights its prey and pounces on it,you cannot help but admire the bird.....if such a mundane term may be used to describe such a princely creature.
Freedom is but an innate desire that all creatures desire.Birds are the true embodiments of freedom wherein they can spread their wings and take off whenever they wish to,without any restrictions whereas we wish in our heart of hearts that we were free but whenever we want to fly or to experience even an iota of freedom,we realize that our wings are clipped. We are weighed down by the burden of responsibilities.Before accepting any major change in our life,we are forced to consider its repercussions.What does the eagle think,when it swoops to capture its prey?There`s only one thought that is foremost in its mind,capturing and mercilessly devouring its prey.....If only our lives were also like that.....no not capturing and eating others,but focusing on our goal with single minded precision and when it is achieved,then enjoying life...Is it too much to ask for....not uninhibited freedom but freedom from the whimsicality of life to pursue our secret desires?Freedom..........ah!! what a wonderful word!!

Content writing...my new profession


My foray into a new field....Content writing:

After a successful stint at various renowned BPO`s,i`d voluntarily relinquished my job to concentrate on a much more difficult task ahead......marriage!!!After an interval(Not The Movie Theater Kinds) i have ventured into a new field...that of content writing.

This job is much more satisfying.For one,it offers me the freedom of flexible hours...i can work when i wish and it is so much more creatively satisfying.I feel as if i am doing something worthwhile and not just idling away my time.Moreover i am learning a lot of novel things.There are times when i cannot write with as much ebullience as i wish but then that too offers its own rewards.I like the travel sites the most as it gives me the freedom to express myself and my varied fantasies to the utmost...

I am just a fresher(the word perhaps even freshers detest the most)in this field but i am amazed by the scope that this field offers.Freedom of creativity,freedom of expression are but an onus.I am slowly learning a lot of new things and i hope that in the days and eventually months to come i will be a good content writer...writing content that i am satisfied with.
