The grass is always greener on the other side...

Well, guys, this is a small post, of which no part is fiction, but a truth. All of us have been through such ambiguous situations, where we always find the grass to be greener on the other side.

Read on…

You always end up finding others’ girlfriends hotter than yours.

If you are jobless, you are ready to work for any company, but when you have a job, the opponent firm’s paycheck is always better.

The shirt which you left at the store was better than the one in your shopping bag. Wasn’t it ?

Airtel is always better than Vodafone!

Electronics & communication engineering was a core branch, why did I opt for CS?

Use windows 7, but long for XP.

Have a puma, but that reebok one was just awesome!

On the way to nainital, but shimla seems to have been a better option.

Having a cheseburst @ dominos but thinking about cheesy bites @ pizza hut.

Having jack daniels but old monk ki to baat hi kuch aur hai

Chatting on facebook, but still waiting to hear that ping on gtalk.

Your blogger theme is customized, but when you read others blog, you find it more attractive.

Infy is gud, but TCS would have been better.

Perhaps it’s the very nature of a human being, not to be satisfied with what he has, that keeps him on the move. So move, change, desire, switch, flip, believe, and reach out to the thing that you missed, in an endeavor to be on the other side, coz the grass is always greener there…….

Chai Sutta

It never struck me how easily chai biskoot transformed into chai sutta, until a distant uncle visited me this weekend.
We went to a nearby tea stall to have chai biskoot....

I was busy stressing my olfactory modality to distinguish flake from milds, and reach out for mine when I found a biskoot in my hand and chai in the other. I couldnt fill the gap between my craving fingers with the coconut biskoot. Dipping it in the watery tea, I melted away in thoughts as to when did this transition happened in my life particularly. No doubt Engineering teaches you a lot!

Chai sutta becomes the fav passtime during those jobless years for most of us. We start of sharing butts of goldflake and end up becoming Kings of a pack a day.

Feeling sleepy? Chai - sutta acts like an adrenaline booster. Need to sleep? Have chai - sutta..- The best tranquiliser!
The combination rocks. You ask for tea, and your sutta comes unasked for, with a cunning smile on the shopkeeper's face- How can you have chai without sutta?

You feel elated- Have chai sutta. Feeling down - "Cummon dude, Lets go for chai - sutta"

I wonder how lucky this combi has been as we discussed biographies to geographies of so many chicks on this bloody chai - sutta..!

But Alas! I came back from my salad days when the tea started tasting thick and extra sweet- the biskoot had completely melted in the glass.

You know, sometimes chai biskoot tastes better than chai -sutta...

I don’t belong here. Do I?

The recent developments have forced me to think again, whether this is the life I wanted? I feel like there is a war raging inside me, one says no, the other tries to comfort me by saying all izz well.

The tag of a ‘software engineer’ used to fascinate me even before I knew its meaning. And now, when I am one, I’m compelled to look into a mirror and gauge myself. I did take the path I wanted to, but somehow couldn’t reach the destination, or I’ve rather changed my destination itself in due course of time. Strange, isn’t it? We often set off on a destined path, determined to achieve our goal, but tend to deviate, and at the end, try to fool ourselves by believing that we have achieved our goal.

I don’t know what is in store for me in the next couple of months, but it will definitely play a major role in deciding my future. All I know is that this is not what I wanted to be. I feel like a stranger in my own world……………
