Random Thoughts

I make no apologies for the lack of continuity in this blog!!! Hence the title, Random thoughts...

The other day, I was looking at a painting, and it looked average at best, even by my standards, which is not very high BTW. It had the title, "Memories are made to fade..." And it made me think... is it? Are memories really made to fade? I don't think so..

Life, you and I live, should be measured by moments rather than milestones. If memories are made to fade, where is the meaning of our lives?

We are not always fortunate to spend time with out friends, family and loved ones. If it isn't for memories, they will be no different to strangers..

On another random note...

I think I'm incredibly lucky. No, I know that I'm incredibly lucky.

In what aspect you may ask... In all aspects I say...

I wasn't the brightest spark when I was in school, I was good at everything else but studies... Which is the whole point of school.. I understand now... But not then.

There are lots of little incidents that make me feel glad that I am, who I am and what I am.

It was purely by chance that I happen to live in such a wonderful country, New Zealand. If it wasn't for my sibling, I might not have ended up here. Might have been the standard, US of A or may be even in India. Not that it would have been a bad thing, but still..In NZ, I have been presented with soo many opportunities and met soo many wonderful people, I can't imagine my life being anything else..

I am not overly religious, but I do say a silent prayer to keep all my friends and family safe, everyday. I count my lucky stars all the time. I think of my friends and family as lucky stars as well...

I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but it means a lot to me.

Everyone has heard of the line.. Absence makes the heart go fonder... Or something like that. When we are away from our loved ones, sometimes, it is easy to be too occupied with our own lives and not give anyone else a though. I know, cause I was like that. I am finding myself missing all my friends and family more and more. Not that we don't keep in touch or anything.. But I just do.

I believe it is by luck and not fate (if there is such a thing) that you meet certain people, who leave you wondering why they have such a profound effect on your life. Everyone who come into your life, do so, for a reason. They are meant to teach you certain things, even if it the lesson is to learn how to hate someone!!!

I used to be broke a LOT, and I mean a lot... When I was a student. I didn't have the capacity to borrow any money as I had nothing of value that my bank wanted. Sometimes, all I had was a single Dollar in my pocket (and nothing in my bank account). Home was an hours walk away and the dollar was not enough for the bus fare. It was either I buy sweet to munch on and walk or take a gamble and buy a $1.00 lotto ticket (scratch). When ever I have been in this situation, I have always won $2.00, enough for a bus fare. It has never let me down. I never win when I have money and try it. With the danger of sounding like "DR. Phil", this only confirms my "belief" that when you really really need something, someone or something will come to your aid, you just need to believe.

By telling you this, I hope I bring "luck" into your life and I believe that by sharing my luck with you, I can only get luckier :-D

On the other hand, I wonder if the people in my life have anything to do with the "luck", I have in my life.. may be.. maybe not.. but I think so.

SO... are you feeling lucky yet?
