Little Joys of Life

Happened to watch the movie "This Time Around" recently. A movie full of romance ;) Loved watching it. More than the movie I loved this song which was spread across the movie :))

There is a paradise that can be found
A better life to bring us round
And all we really need to do
Is see the world like lovers do

I want to take it easy, take it slow
To catch a fire and let it go
I wanna give myself to you
So we can live like lovers do

Like lovers do
I wanna feel that way
Yeah like lovers do
They loose themselves for days
And I need to feel, I need to feel that way

I can hear you thinking what I feel
I know that what we've got is real
And all we need to get us through
Is just to live like lovers do

Just like lovers do
I wanna feel that way
Yeah like lovers do
They loose themselves for days
Yeah I need to feel, I need to feel that way
Like lovers do
Give me the strength
To give myself to you
Like lovers lovers do

Yeah all we really need to do
Is see the world like lovers do
Like lovers do
I wanna feel that way
Yeah like lovers do
They loose themselves for days
Lovers do
I wanna feel that way
Like lovers do
They loose themselves for days
Yeah I need to feel, I need to feel that way

Like lovers do

It's been quite a long time I was planning to change my template and was not satisfied with any new template I saw. Finally today this template looked better to me. Yeah, you got it right. Few days back when I saw this, I was looking for something better and rejected this :P

Ok. Coming to the post, long long ago.. so long ago.. once upon a time, gils tagged me to write 10 honest things about myself. Before everyone forgets the existence of my blog, I thought of posting something and here you go..

1. I Love sea more than anything else in this world. Don't know how or why. But I only know that I am mad about it. If someone takes me to beach and does not allow me / give me company to stand in water then they are finished ;)

2. I love to have flowers(especially Jasmine). And I dont like flowers, when they are tied with more gaps. So my mom daily gets untied flowers and would tie it tightly(without gaps.. no one can beat her in that ;)) for me and I happily have them for office :D

3. Talking about flowers, I am also mad at anklets. I have two pairs. One with pearls (will wear it whenever I get off for more than 2 days) and another one without pearls (for office use).

4. I like driving. Still I would prefer sitting on a pavilion and giving the driver job to someone else. Its just fun to watch other peoples without the tension of traffic :) [I know gils would be more interested to comment about this point :P]

5. I am not good in making decisions. I have a very oscillating mind which makes me change my decisions often. So, my best practice is I would never make any decision earlier. When the deadline comes, I would just say / do what I feel that moment :)And I also make sure that I will always see only positive outcomes and reject the negative ones.. After all regrets never help to revert anything :)))

6. I always have the habit of obeying my inner voice. Whatever it says I would do it and I never ask for the reasons. So if someone asks me why did you do it / why you dint do it, I would be blinking with no answers. Or my answer would I felt like doing it. No specific reasons. Sometimes my innervoice would say to ask suggestions to few friends before deciding something. Believe me I do that too. But the problem is, the other person who is giving suggestions will have lots of trouble in convincing me as why I should do that way :D

7. In Paulo coelho's Valkyries, a person would forget his car keys and will go back to get it. At that time he would say that (I'm not sure of the exact words, but the concept goes like this) he believes that his guardian angles is delaying him just to save him from some unknown danger which he might face if he had started at the planned time. So he would sit for sometime to provide the time delay. Somehow, this concept got stuck to my mind and whenever I forget something and come back to take it, this scene would come to my mind and I would smile to myself :)

8. I dont like to shop at crowded shops. Hence I would never opt for shopping on a weekend. My choice would be any NORMAL-ONE-OF-THOSE-NON-FAMOUS-SHOPS-WITHOUT-CROWDS.
P.S. I go shopping only for my clothes and cosmetics. Never had gone for shopping groceries / house hold items :D

9. One compliment which I always receive is "Talking to you makes me smile / forget my worries". I am good in diverting them to some stupid topics and forget about their worries. But if someone shares their sorrows, I am good at listening. I clarify again, I am good ONLY at listening. I can never give a solid solution / suggestion for them.

10. I am a day and night dreamer ;). I have a seperate imaginary world of mine co-existing with real life. And because of this habit, I always get lost in my own thoughts and miss listening /noticing the ones around me.

Wowwwwwwwww... I had completed all 10 points.. thats great.. Now I am off to sleep. C u guys soon @ comments section.
