I am thinking about...
the next step..

I said...
"hi" and then i smiled.

I want to...
do more than i could in 3 lifetimes.

I wish...
i could be in two places at the same time.

I miss...
my dog when i'm away.

I hear...
night sounds.

I wonder...
if things will ever work out just as i want them to.

I regret...
very very few things.

I am...
not usually predictable..even when you know me.

I sing...
'on air' or in karaoke bars.

I cry...
easily.

I am not always...
in as much control as i might seem to be.

I write...
for a living! and also because i must.

I need...
to master time management.

I should try...
things that scare me.

I finish...
first! ok, well, not really, but i couldn't think of anything else.

no onward tags!! i find all this terribly addictive -- like the quizzes -- and i won't contribute to its spread!

For the record...

...I am aware that Preity Zinta's character in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna has my name -- exactly as I spell it, too. At least 50 people have either emailed me or begun a conversation with "Hey, do you know that in KANK.." Yes, I do know!

The bottom line is that KJo stole my identity for his movie. Not only does Preity have my name, she's in the magazine/fashion world AND lives in New York.

Honestly, I think the least he could've done was offer me the part to play myself (well, myself + future husband and child). I just hope I have better taste in husbands when the time comes.

Que sera sera

What does it do to a person to be rendered completely helpless? And what if that person has always been a control freak, someone who needed to be running the show (and, often, running everyone else's lives as well)?

I think it can go two ways... the person could sigh, realize not everything in life is within our control and relinquish themselves to "que sera sera." Somehow I think that's the better way to handle a loss of control over life. Then there's the other reaction. The denial, the anger at the world at large, the refusal to change with circumstances. It's incredibly destructive -- for everyone.

It can't be easy to be relatively young (as in, not a grandparent as yet) and unable to function normally. But you've got to wonder at the purpose being served by pushing people away at a time like this. Sometimes I think age has nothing to do with wisdom.
