30 on 30.

1. Chocolate is my best friend and my worst enemy.

9. I like ambitious people better.
10. Independence is extremely important to me, be it financial or emotional.
11. I have learnt that it is ridiculous to pick a side and stick to it through thick and thin. There needs to be openness to ideas.

13. Flexibility is the key to happiness.
14. I have accepted that ‘never say never’ should be my life motto.

19. Technology gives me a headache.
20. I am not into the whole iPhone vs Samsung debate, and I am firmly in the ‘Its just a phone!!’ category. But my last 2 phones have been Apples.
21. I am a hoarder and have way too much stuff for a single person.
22. I am definitely not cool.
23. I am generally cold.
24. If I could have puppies instead of babies, I would pick that option.
25. I am toeing certain lines and I really want to cross them, but I am too much of a chicken.
26. I definitely need to work on being a good host.
27. Coffee makes my tummy happy. 😉
28. Steps are not the right way to get into a pool.
29. Respect and courtesy go a long way.
30. Life is not a joke, but also shouldn’t be very serious.

Just something that I thought of worth jotting down when I hit 30. Yep, bring on the ‘over the hill’ jokes. Well, my knees actually do hurt, but I am so glad to be alive! Let’s see what the ‘dirty 30s’ have in store for me. Cheers, you guys! Have a shot(alcohol, pani puri or pink lemonade) for me!

Take care.

We fight, we hold grudges, we give power to our egos to control us. We get angry on the most trivial things, we say hurtful things, we forget to leash our tongues.
We get busy, we forget to call, we forget to let them know how we are. We forget to ask how they are.
It just doesn’t matter.
My best friend Shib’s father passed away on the 15th.
Life is so fickle. Smile every moment, tell them you love them. Call them, text them, hug them. You can’t do much, but at least let’s not do the least.
