fire drill at office

We just had a fire drill in our office. The whole routine was so casual.Firstly, the fire alarm switch was not working in 2 floors. So we had to run floor after floor trying to find one that works. I was kinda surprised at the house keeper’s negligence.Then , being in charge of my floor, I had to make sure that every one had cleared from my floor. I had to check the men’s restroom too. Thankfully, found a guy who did that for me. really had to pester people to move away from their places. First of all at 9 in the morning there were harldly anybody at all in my building. And those present ,were in no mood for a drill at that time. I had to force people to keep the phones down. And then we had the regular caution exercises . And then now back in my place.

 

I think its a good practise to have these drills. Might save lifes when it really happens. but I just hope that someday… it at all fire happens, nobody thinks it is one of these drills…..

My guitar zeal is back…..

Did pretty much nothign today except going to church , sleeping for a while n playing the guitar for the whole of evening and night… Hmmm .. Fnally got my guitar tuned. Recorded a song…(I was that bored). came out pretty good i should say….

Another week..hmmmm .5 more days to go…

First working late day….

Work has been pretty hectic these days. And i had to work late on friday, We ordered pizza’s from dominos’. It was good. But that experiance made me think about so many things in life. About my life in general. what I’m doin in life. What i will be doin in the next couple of yrs… hmmm.

I had a hair cut laast week. For the first time in life, I have something other than the normal hair style. i’m totally loving it.

Went for elevate today. Have to go to office tommorow. I know. sad life.

Sunday Update

Hmm.. So wordpress had decided to change the look… Not a bad idea. This is definitely more easier than the old one.I remember when I first wanted to upload a pic in my post , I searched for a long time just to find the place to upload…

Sunday is over. CHurch was good.

Finally decided to give Facebook a try. N the recenlty being played game , text twirl is definitely very addictive. Sat up the last two hours playing it.  nice game.

Ok. I admit. Its pretty boring here . I mean its nice and relaxing to just stay in the room all day long . But on the other hand , I think I want a home. A place where I can go fom one room to another. Meaning I want more than just a room to call my own .I live in a PG. I have one room (that I share with 3 ppl) to call ‘my home’. Some how that thought is not very appealing.  Need to move into a house…

A perfect saturday

Today was a perfect example of a wonderful saturday. Spent the whole day with Ann. Payed bills in the morning. Watched a lot of movies.  In short , nothing happened today worth writing here. So I’m gonna make this post short. I’ve still got two whole days for this weenend to end…

About my weekend

I went home for easter. Was supposed to meet my gang from college. But due to reasons that I cant mention here , I couldn’t make it to the gathering. Another example of how things that you look forward to, can (in a fraction of a second) be taken away from you.

The only memorable moments this weekend were those that I spent at my friend’s place. Had great fun.Did a lot of things that I hadn’t done before. well…. I tried on make up.. It was fun.

I’m sick of being someone I’m clearly not.

I’m sick of feeling being judged all the time.

I’m tired of being strong for other people.

I’m tired of trying to live upto expectations.

Recently I find myself wishing that I can reverse time. Wishing that I can change people’s mind. Wishing that I can make better the lives of people I’ve disturbed.

Doubts crawl into my mind. Doubts abt the decisions I’ve made. Doubts about ‘what ifs?’

The only thing that keeps me going is this.

‘If my God does not condemn me, Nobody can. And my God says that He doesnt’

Confusing Times….

Every one has to undergo rough patches in life rite???? I guess I am goin thro mine. While a part of me just clings on to GOD with childlike faith , the other part of me is begining to look at the circumstances. Life as I knew 10 yrs back is gone. 10 yrs back, my biggest worry was answering the questions my chemistry mam asked before the start of every class. Today , they seem like nothing to what I’m goin thro.Is it possible that 10 yrs from now, I’ll have others things to worry about?? And at that time will what I’m goin thro now seem like nothing???? As much as I would love to beleive that , I think not.

Failed attempts on blogging tonight

typed a few lines under each topic n then din hav the drive to pursue the topic. hmmm.So I quit blogging for the night… Maybe my next post will be better….

Day 2 at my new office.

I cannot say that my day was great. Things din work out the way I would have loved. In fact they din work out well at all… hmmm…After a sleepless night of travel, I went to office only to find out that I missed out my connecting shuttle. So I had to take an auto to my office.  And then lunch time was totally miserable. Din know anybody to have lunch with. And the food was pathetic. Couldn’t finish even a sandwhich.  And then from tomorrow onwards I have to choose between my breakfast and my connecting shuttle. So in short I had a pretty (not so) exciting day. O ya. my shuttle in the evening was late by a good 15 mins… hmm… Things couldnt have gotten worse. Thank God for he knew I cant take things any more.Actually what kept me goin today was this….. The story of the ant and the contact lens…

Brenda was a young woman who was invited to go rock climbing. Although she was scared to death, she went with her group to a tremendous granite cliff.

In spite of her fear, she put on the gear, took a hold on the rope, and started up the face of that rock. Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a breather. As she was hanging on there, the safety rope snapped against Brenda’s eye and knocked out her Contact lens. Well, here she is on a rock ledge, with hundreds of feet below Her and hundreds of feet above her. Of course, she looked and looked and looked, hoping it had landed on the ledge, but it just wasn’t there.

Here she was, far from home, her sight now blurry. She was desperate and began to get upset, so she prayed to the Lord to help her to find it. When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but there was no contact lens to be found. She sat down, despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them to make it up the face of the cliff.

She looked out across range after range of mountains, thinking of that Bible verse that says, “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole Earth.” She thought, “Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me.”

Finally, they walked down the trail to the bottom. At the bottom there was a new party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, “Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?”

Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across the face of the rock, carrying it!

Brenda told me that her father is a cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a picture of an ant lugging that contact lens with the words, “Lord, I don’t know why you want me to carry this thing. I can’t eat it, and it’s awfully heavy. But if this is what you want me to do, I’ll carry it for you.”

I think it would probably do some of us good to occasionally say, “God, I don’t know why you want me to carry this load. I can see no good in it and It’s awfully heavy. But, if you want me to carry it, I will.”

God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

I suddenly felt a great respect  for the ant.For I realised today , that trusting God totally is my only hope. I felt it so much today.  He kept me going today. He gave me the strenght to carry on….. On my way back , I was listening to Nichole C.Mullen’s When I call on JESUS.  Beautiful song. Never spoke to me so much as it did today

Verse 1:
I’m so very ordinary, nothing special on my own.
Oh, I have never walked on water,
And I have never calmed a storm.
Sometimes I’m hiding away from the madness around me
Like a child who’s afraid of the dark

Verse 2:
Weary brother, broken daughter,
widowed, widowed lover, you’re not alone
If you’re tired and scared of the madness around you
If you can’t find the strength to carry on

Chorus:
When you call on Jesus,
All things are possible
You can mount on wings like eagles’ and soar
When you call on Jesus,
Mountains are gonna fall
‘Cause He’ll move heaven and earth to come rescue you when you–

Bridge:
Call Him in the mornin’, in the afternoon time
Late in the evenin’ He’ll be there
When your heart is broken,
And you feel discouraged,
You can just remember that He said
He’ll be there

An amazing weekend

This has been a very satisfying weekend for me . Strangely (actually not so suprisingly ) my idea of a good weekend has a lot to do with good food. I had amazing food this weekend. 2 treats and the rest of the time treating myself . Wow. this is my idea of a good day. A as gang of 5 gals, we invaded the restuarants of Blore .

Apart from the eating , I also enjoyed my church services. At elevate  (out church youth service) I realised how great and big my God is. I mean HE IS JUST INDESCRIBABLE.  Never before have i felt so strongly abt God being INDESCRIBABLE than at the moment i wrote that sentence. I am searching for words to put on my blog as to how I feel abt GOD but I am stumped. He is indeed an amazing GOD.

Sajeeli is leaving this tuesday to go back to south africa. So we will be missing one person at church from next week onwards.

My mom always used to tell me ” Come what may.. ……. eventually it’ll only be your family that stays with you throughout. ” And my mom is a living proof of that. She has been the most supportive person in my life . Thanks ma .
