Day 30: Used modelling Clay to Amuse myself During some Boring Work at Office

I'm glad my boss doesn't know about this blog. Whew.

So I made a cat, a butterfly and a sun. I even got my colleages to make things (a person, a flower). So I made those, while my colleages got worked up about the presentation that was to be sent to the BU Head. I'd already finished my chunk of work for it. So I guiltlessly created.

Very random. But also very, very fun.

Day 29: Stayed up late at Night to Finish Impoartant work

I'd always thought that I'm a morning person. But recently I had to finish some important work and I just wasn't able to get time in the morning. So I got angry and oushed myself to stay awake and finish it.

And the truth is, I loved to work during the night hour.

So I guess there is no rule if one's to work early in the morning or late at night. It's a variable choice depending on situation and mood. And priority.

Whatever works, works.

Day 28: Went to a FREE TIBET Seminar and Ended up Helping in Decorating the Venue with the Commitee

How odd.

Sometimes I wonder why I can't just be an observer. But I guess I'm a pretty active person and it doesn't naturally come to me to just observe.

I enjoyed helping out. Met some interesting people. Got to see a famous campus in the city. Listened to some interesting music. Hung out with some band members. Got to know about certain initiatives that are going on by different people.

There's so much out there.

Day 27: Celebrated the Love Confession

Um, not mine. I'm happily married now. But of a dear friend - who's been gushing over this particular lad for the past 8 years.

'Finally', I said when she told me.

Apparently he had said the exact same thing.

So three of us got out and went and had glasses of melted chocolate.

"To the courage to confess!", we cheered. And we drank til there weren't any drops left.

Day 26: Laid Down Under the Stars with Room mates (and we all couldn't stop giggling)

.. at the prospect that the landlady would find us all cozied up on her front porch at 2 am, as well as the fact that the coconut tree was right above our head.

What if a coconut did fall?

What then? :P

Really enjoyed the 15 minutes out there. Though it wasn't the expected calm and liberating feeling, we sure did get a few (many, actually) laughs.

And that was good enough for me.

Day 24: Asked for Silence

I woke up angry. It was going to be one of those days. I wanted to scream and hurt. I was full of sharp edges in my mind.

So before I did anything I told my roommates to not talk to me. At work I kept busy and aloof. I don’t want to hurt anyone else. And people do understand when you need some time off. Especially if you are someone like me who keeps getting bouts of needing to just shut off.

Before I know it, the hurt fades, either into exhaustion or into a new facet of understanding. But usually they happen to me all at once.

And a new day is ready to begin after I collapse into blankness and let it wash over me.

Day 23: Gave Away Money to a Friend in Need (Even though She Didn't Ask)

Sometimes people fall in need. And they are too ashamed to ask for help.

It’s wonderful to be able to be there unconditionally and support someone who doesn’t expect it.
