Birthday and Donations

Image
As I am moving far from my 25 and reaching 30, my birthdays are not much exciting anymore. It's not that I hate 30s but I am no more going to be in my 20s which is sad. Though 30s have their own pros and cons as 20s, I am not sure if they can give me as much fun as 20s. But I am quite sure, I am going to be more wiser wise. I still have a lot of time to reach 30 though.   Anyhoo.. It was my birthday some 10-15 days back and I wanted it to be peaceful this time. Totally. No mid-night celebrations, no wishes, no phone calls, no birthday dresses, no gifts, no parties, no dinners, no plans.. nothing.. nada. I have taken it off from my networking sites [this is a way to know your real friends ;-)].   I wished my birthday to be like any other day. Like any other working-day. Moreover I never celebrate at my work place. I have always taken off from work to celebrate with my family or friends. But this time I haven't. I planned my day busy. I filled it up with wor...

[With my favorite aunt for she gifts us a lot] Aunt: Hi Me: Hey aunt, how have you been? Aunt: I'm fine. How are you? Me: I'm fine too aunt. It's going great! *Life was much exciting then* Aunt: What are you up to? *Me trying to skip her next question* [She is the principal of a school and is as strict with us as with her students. However, she is fair and good to be an aunt.] There comes her next  un expected question. Aunt: Where have you been these days? Haven't been home in a long time. Me: Ac.. tually I have been really BUSY. Aunt: *giving me that strict-principal-look already* Me: Actually been busy with work these days. Aunt: *still with the same strict-principal-look* Hhmm.. people who say busy are those who think they are busy. But they are just busy thinking that they are busy. Me: *confused look* *Trying to arrange all the busy words correctly in her dialogue* Oh well!! @#$%^&* Are you also confused like me? Then read it again. It does m...

“ Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.  They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” — Steve Jobs

Hair & There. Black & White.

Image
I think this is the best haircut I could ever get. This is the first time I tried side bang and it turned out nice (well, I feel so). Because every single time I have a cut, I regret of visiting that hairdresser and would curse till my hair is back to its worst expected zig-zag length. The people much worried than me about my hair are my parents, especially my dad. Not sure why but he loves my hair, when its long :) Sweet, isn't it? And my mom would join me in cursing. Finding the one perfect hair dresser has been a night mare. I say so coz. its just not the cut I would be happy about but also the way the hair grows back post cut. I would just grow my awkward hair so long that one day some one at work had to remind me to go for a cut. That was little embarrassing moment.  After half a decade of getting bad hair cuts, I crossed my fingers when I visited Visible Changes in the States. I would opt for the senior dresser and not bother about the high amounts they c...

Sneak Peek: Hair & There. Black & White.

As I try to get back to my life and blog, here's a preview of my next post. 

This is where I live.

The best thing I like about Stavanger, Norway is the water place which is called the City Center (Senctrum in Norsk - language of Norway). This is the only place that is busy all the times in Stavanger except Sunday [yes, everything is closed on Sundays :-(]. All the shoppping and restaurants are located around this place and its so nice to take a walk along the water side. There are ferris always available to go to the fyords around. Another post on fyords if you would like to see? Another nice thing about Stavanger is, in which ever direction you go in the city, you can see water. There are roads going on water, over water and infact in water * Ok, I agree on and over doesn't make difference*. Believe me, the tunnels passing through water are scary. This is one of those pictures when I had the mood to capture my city. You can find the other one here .
