What's your problem???

So I was working the other day and someone stopped by to ask directions to a particular restaurant. And since I’m new around the area I wasn’t sure, so I insisted that I look up in the phone book and give them a call. Here I am trying to find their number and not having any luck…so before I could even finish looking the lady shakes of her head makes some weird sounds and stomps out the door; all this happens in less than a minute. Anyway I’m standing there thinking… wait did I do something wrong? I thought I was trying to help her… wasn’t I helping here?...(of course I find out later that the restaurant she was looking for isn’t in or anywhere near the town!).

But let’s analyze this… the lady came in… asked for help… I didn’t know about the place (just like her).... and (even though its not part of my job) I still tired helping her in anyway I could ‘n yet she decided to ruin my entire day? Making me think as if I did something wrong?

So basically this post goes to all those cranky people out there; if you are having a bad day don’t take it out on other people. We didn’t ruin your day…because sometimes it only takes 1 to ruin someone’s entire day. I don’t think I’m asking for much… am I?? All I’m saying is when you go out just smile. Simple as that!!

I actually had written the following post a while back but couldn’t decide if I should post it or not… anyway here it goes:

It’s been few days since I found out the news about Heath Ledger. I was definitely shocked by the news and even worst to hear how he passed away. To an extent I still can’t believe this had happened. Ever since I saw one of his films, I absolutely adored him as an actor. I just hope the paparazzi would give enough privacy to his family to deal with this tragedy.

It just saddens me to think about people with so much penitential leaving at such a young age. I mean there is so much to do and accomplish in life. Of course, there are things out of our hands and we just can’t do anything except to deal with it and (sadly) move on.

I am sure a lot of people might be thinking “How come only such articles/posts are written when a star passes away, but if it had happened to an ordinary person no one would care.” I completely disagree with that statement. I guess the main reason is that the news about stars simply gets around faster than other news. Regardless of their star status they are still like ordinary people; with families, feelings, and problems!

Maybe it’s how I was raised or just what I’ve been through; every time I hear any news such as this one I start to get a weird feeling inside and light headed… reason being: I automatically put myself in their position. I know I shouldn’t be doing that but I can’t stop it. I start to think how his/her family might be feeling. How hard it might be to deal with news so terrible and unexpected. And if I can’t deal with it; just think how hard it might be for the people who are actually going through such times!

I don’t think anyone deserves to be hit by tough unexpected news!

So bunch of people recommended Canon 400D or Nikon D80 for someone like me. Now when comparing both cameras I didn’t see much difference. Of course someone who has more experience with these cameras may be able to tell me more about the actual differences.

Anyway the only big thing I noticed was the price difference. Nikon is much more expensive than Canon. Now I am thinking do I want to spend more money on the body or should I spend more on the lenses? Hmmm… I am not sure but as of now I am leaning more toward canon as I can actually afford it.

Now am I buying the camera tomorrow? NO! and I have a reason for that… with my job I don’t get much to be out of my office, so there is no point of buying a camera and having it sit at home. And that’s why I made a PLAN… oh yeah!!! So plan is to go ahead and finish all the paper work I need to for this business, which may take a month or two (yes I know its way to much)). Ones I’m all organized with that then I am going to go ahead and purchase a sweet camera for myself. I think the plan sounds pretty cool!! Well for now at least.

Alright now, I am gonna go back to work again!!
Cheers!

Are you single?

Well… I know I am not good at blogging regularly, but I’m trying. I wish I had net connection at work so I could post more often.. (well during my break time only.. you know ;) ) oh well.. Lately, I’ve been so busy… with this new so-called job. So soon need to start organizing!!!! Actually I’ve been trying to organize, but I’m not completely done…still so many papers to go through…**sigh**

Anyway… today’s post is kinda based on friends and Asian boys ;)

So while back I started speaking to this Indian guy. And the first thing he asks me is my Age/Sex/Language or am I single?

Sadly, this wasn’t the first time I been asked these questions… the same questions were asked by many new people I meet and most of them are either from India or Pakistan.

I understand to know a person you need to get those details… but are those details BIG part of understanding an individual? Aren’t details such as age or sex just statistics?

I guess I am saying this because most of my best relationships are with people who never cared to ask if I am single. They didn’t care about that… they just wanted to get to know ME not the statistics behind me.

Well… basically my question goes to the guys, whose first question is “are you single?”,….Why does it matter if I’m single? Or if I’m older/ younger than you are??? If we have fun chit-chatting or hanging out; WHY can’t we simply be friends??

Anyway that’s all time I have for today… will write later!

Five things that annoy me!

2008-01-15T19:26:00.000-06:00

Alright so I was going through orkut and under their personal profile section it asked about the things that annoy me…or things I hate… something like that. So I thought why not I make a list here on my blog…. Here are around 5 things that definitely annoy me:

Smoke Smell – When you are standing next to a person and you can smell smoke through his/her clothes… man!!! That means its time to quit or take a long bath!!
Ghetto Act – I think it works for some people, but when Indians act that way…it just bothers me. I mean it’s different if you were raised in such areas, but if you are not… then I just find it weird. I don’t know why but I just do…
Body Order – Just take a shower and do some laundry!!!
Really bad pick-up lines – bring some class and stop acting like a moron! Simple as that ;)
Fakeness – actually this should be on top of my list… I just hate when people act so fake… they say one thing to you and another thing behind your back. Let’s grow up shall we?

Ok I think that’s enough annoying things for today… will list some more later!

What? No Way!!

It's only Tuesday?!? WOW I am already exhausted. I’ve been running around for the past 3 days like a moron; didn’t even get a decent sleep for a while. In a way it’s crazy, but for some odd reason I kind of enjoy it. Maybe because I finally have something to do…But now I have too many things to do and so little time… well I think I should start making a schedule. I definitely need to learn to get organized and take some time out for myself. Maybe that college education will finally be useful?? Hmmm…. that's a mighty big MAYBE!!!!!

Passion?

Few days ago I opened an account on orkut (around the same time I started this blog). So I started surfing though random profiles… just browsing…and came across an individual named Naman Gupta, a fashion photographer. Looking through his pictures reminded me how much I admire and love photography. The beautiful colors of nature, landscapes, and human expressions captured so artistically gives an amazing feeling!!

Unfortunately, I didn’t realize my passion for photography until just few months ago. I wish this realization came earlier. Actually, I should’ve known that this is truly my passion when I took hundreds of pictures daily of anything and everything!! And I definitely regret that my chosen career has nothing to do with this passion. I just went ahead with a career I thought I was supposed to.

Well… I definitely can’t change the past, but maybe its time to stop wasting my time on regrets and do something about it?! How about I make a plan right now?? Hmmmm… lets see…hopefully within this year I well get some money coming in so why not purchase a new camera… ummm how about Canon 400D? or is this one old news? Maybe I should do a little more research regarding camera options… (at least this will take me a step closer!!!)

Anyway this is all time I had for today… will come back another day.

So I've always wanted to start my own blog... but never got the time. I'm not much of a writer but I am still going to go ahead with it. So from today I will share my random thoughts with everyone... Yes! I mean who knows? Maybe someone out there sssoooo unknown might be thinking the same thing?!?
