Yesterday was something special, I was awake the whole night on sunday coz of the weekend schedule, Friday was fixing some stuff on laptop, so slept late, saturday washed clothes and in the afternoon went "Sathyam" - watched 2 movies (Barsaat & My Wife's Murder), came back late and then again slept late (watching FTV :) ) so sunday whole day I slept till 2 O'Clock in afternoon, afterwhich I failed to get any sleep in the night, so I finished "Gunaho ka Devta" - DharamVir Bharti wrote it in 1952, & I was reading the 41st edition (O lord, so much has been written & published...I am too slow) anyhow so straightaway came to office on monday.
Monday I slept at 8'O Clock in the evening (reaching 30 hours of continuous awakening :( ..My personal record is 38 hours...
Anyhow this is not for which I am posting this...Now a days there is a lot I wanna write and I am just not getting anytime so all these ideas are moving here and there...
so coming back to "Never Been Gifted" - I was saying I started counting on how many times I have been gifted. I was able to remember not a single ocassional gift. There were very few and when I say very few they are less than the fingures I have on any of my hand. This proceeded to the thoughts of Why and Why not?
I started spooling the reasons...only one reason came to me finally, that I have been in several other ways or might be ppl are afraid of gifting anything in material to me :) all other reasons sounded silly...this was there through the day, while I was just drooling in office, Canteen and doing other stuff.
anyhow today morning I was awake early around 6 AM, after a long dreamless sleep which I had after a long time...most of the dreams are nightmares now a days...this is one of curse which people have to bear with if they are living alone...anyhow...after the morning chores (known as Shoon & Shaaan in my lingo) started preparing my lunch, around 7:30 AM I got the wake up from my collegue...there and then I realised the fabric of my life once again.
There had been so many instance where I had been gifted in numerous ways...so instead of thinking about material gifts wrapped in shinning sheets with flowers mounted on the top, I should extend my gratitude towards it. Some ppl say this is Positive thinking phenomenon. But I believe this is "thinking otherwise" phenomenon, so what are those gifts....
- My collegue wakes me up in morning, so that I can be there for early morning meetings (9:00AM is early for me...believe it or not)
