Where do I go from here.....


At times in life, everything is up in the air. You know not what you want nor where you're going. Certainties disappear, it's just a long alien road ahead. 

For all the readers, the few that do read this blog regularly, apologies since I don't seem to have happy thoughts to share these days. That's not to say that I am unhappy....not at all. It's just that this particular phase of life seems to full of confusion with hardly any solution in sight. 

Life generally is full of ups n downs with no state of mind staying for long. They just come and go. Unfortunately, all the up times get lost in having fun and enjoying life and the only times we brood is when the going gets tough.

That brings me back to my state of mind right now which is most definitely down. Oops you guys can't help but notice that. I seem to be in a state of limbo right now which, let me tell you, is not a good place to be. Nothing makes any kind of sense coz I just don't know what's going on. There are multiple choices to make, various directions to travel and all I can do is stand still since I don't know where to go. 

Now generally I don't have a problem standing still till the road ahead becomes clearer but still at times one wonders, restless and upset, why it's taking so long to figure it out. Every path has so many positive and negative aspects. No path is clear.....how do I wade through the mire of negativity and walk.

I know it won't last, the path will open, taking me exactly where I'm supposed to go but that's no consolation right now. Coz the question that's driving me crazy right now is......where do i go from here.....???

It’s Not Rocket Science

I am bewildered at the way this country works. Seriously. Someone, somewhere thinks (or not) in a way that's beyond me.

A few months ago the area in front of our lane was cemented. Very good.....they’re thinking of ways to make the city look cleaner. A few weeks ago the road in front of my house was re-laid. Even better. And then guess what? They start DIGGING.

They dig all the cement out (some new drain being made in order to harvest rain water) and pile all the mud on to the road. I mean forget about the fact that this is the rainy season....that’s normal coz they always dig roads during this time. The whole dug out mud washes on the newly laid road making a total mess of it.

To add insult to injury, they don’t even work on it every day. A whole stretch is out of action making it very difficult for all of us to park our cars plus traffic is a mess. In over a week they haven't done 10 yards.

Forget about our inconvenience. Can they not figure out for themselves that they just wasted all the money that went into cementing and relaying? Can they not think and plan better? I mean come on......it’s not rocket science!
