Yesterday, went to a house warming party. Looking at the beauty of the place, wondered what a life! Nice spacious house wherever walls define only the boundaries and not the partition between the rooms. Actually to call sleeping areas 'room' wd be misnomer for those sleeping area didnt befit convention definition of room - "an area within a building enclosed by walls and floor and ceiling" because 'sleeping areas' didnt sleem enclosed. Everything about the house was open with more 'living areas' than 'sleeping areas'

Very tastefully and nicely done up without anxiety of utilizing space to the hilt and maximising rooms. Two floors and multiple 'four step floors' within one floor to demarcate 'living areas' from 'sleeping areas'.

Excellent fusion of contemporary glass work and iron mesh doors & windors gave the house touch of modernity while keeping the safety paramount.

On top of that, live ghazal performance on terrace with white mattresses laid out with blue cushion support made the entire party hedonistic. Free flowing madira and perfumed presence of lovely people (read ladies) added to alcohol level of v.v. 5%.

Partying in the house made me wonder what makes me happy or how do I achieve such a living.... does it require rising high in corporate ladder or thick wads of cash or multiple properties in my name or what? Come to think of it, all of it means the same and require the same. But there is more to it than money/corporate ladder to achieve such a living. That is what is propensity to spend or loosely defined as ATTITUDE.

Brought up to teacher parents, have always been told to save for the rainy day..always taking bus for auto, or eating in mess vs restaurant etc. How to change the ATTITUDE of last 30 years in next 30 years is the challenge that I have to come up with.

Prisoner after 30 years

After 3o years of freedom, I have become a self proclaimed prisoner for the last 2.5 months...My master governs by eating, sleeping, holiday, TV, outing time. Never imagined that life cd change so much in 2.5 mths time. Look like a zombie who hasnt slept for days, my house looks like litter place. Stopped reading books that used to my favorite past time..Havent gone on a vacation for last 6 mths which is pretty infrequent..havent watched a movie in 4 mths!

This incarceration got me closer to my relatives...Relatives whom I hadnt met in last 10 years, came to meet my master and me. Time in office cut down by 50%. Folks are the happiest people on earth now. Have started giving some serious thoughts abt 'Sparks of Childhood' and 'innocent smile'. Started liking colors in life. Stopped planning and instead taking things as they come. Learnt from my master that 5 seconds of smile are good to forget everything abt 2.5 mth

Improvisation in GOD

At times think that god creation of human cd have been better...learning from fresh experience of fatherhood, He shld have added few more buttons to human creation. First button that will make one fall asleep, Second button that will make one empty one tummy (from top or bottom!)Third one to get rid of all worry and start smiling!
