Reminiscing

Sometimes you get into that kinda mood where you just start thinking and talking about the past. It's quite funny how these moments creep up on you. You don't even realize it but before you know it, you're talking.

Ofcourse you use your discretion. But then, I think that sometimes what you have deep down within you needs to come out. That's why people visit shrinks right?

I had drinks last evening (mocktails in case any one is thinking anything else) - and over a plate of nachos we had a discussion on the various phases our lives seem to go through. It wasn't too deep our conversation - I shared how I really wanted to work in Hong Kong one day (God only knows when that will happen) and she was talking about how she worked in one of the coolest buildings in Hong Kong. From that we skipped onto how W keeps having sales where they give these fabulous discounts, and in which I end up buying "aspirational" clothes that don't fit me.

Something though has started to happen. I've realised that with some planning and meticulous care - things have started to pan out and fall into place. Maybe I've also just become more positive.... but something has changed. Yesterday I got some great news regarding an adventure that will be the highlight of my 2009 Indian summer (that sounds so awesome but it's going to be crazy in the heat here). I was ecstatic - this news will keep me going through the week, if not through till the end of the month.

I try to look forward and not back. There's no point. Once in a while you'll think and talk about the past..... but it is largely mood dependent.

What should one do when one is in a mood like this? I think the best thing would be to just let the moment pass and be grateful for what you have.
