Spreading joy

I'm easily amused. By clumsy actions, wise cracks, funny limericks, humorous stories... in short, I'm easily amused. It doesn't take a lot of effort to make me laugh. An easy, yet incorrect, conclusion to the fact mentioned above might be that I'm not blessed with an amazing sense of humour. The correct, though slightly difficult to fathom, reason is that I'm extremely well-mannered. (I can imagine a few ROFL's after this) But it's so true! When somebody cracks a joke, even the ones that don't really tickle my funny bone, I am quite capable of mustering a decently safe bout of laughter.
However, again...before you assume that most of my friends are not really funny, stop!!! Because they truly are. Some can crack me up with oft-repeated lines, some with their weird expressions and weirder lingos. In fact, I think the stranger the person, the funnier he/she gets.
It's not uncommon for me to be grinning while I think about someone or something that happened to me long before. I believe funny stories are like good memories; you should remember them fondly ever once in a while, and share them with as many people as you can. So spread the joy, but stop if your audience looks really pained. ;-)

I do like to...

As days go by, I get this feeling that I do not really know what I want to do. There are fleeting moments when I think I do, but then these moments pass, and I'm back to square one.
This blog stems from a conversation that started on my way back from Amby Valley, with 2 of my friends. I was, as always, dishing out some 'gyaan' (yes I know I like to do that!), in response to the endless cribbing that was going on. But I realized that they had a very valid argument for their complaints. How do you decide what you want to do in your life when u don't know what it is that you want to do? I'm sure I've screwed up that line and confused everyone, but that's how I tend to think. Anyway, that got me thinking... I'm sure I want to do certain things that I've always planned for...like do an MBA, start something of my own, build a nice house with loads of wood and a pool(sigh!)... but how the heck will all this happen? I take one look at the essay questions and I feel like I have no words in my kitty left (I know some of you are laughing now, but these are serious issues!) The economy is royally messed up, there are no scholarships left (not that B-schools were being extremely charitable before) and somehow I'm just getting poorer by the day.
Well, I can only conclude that nothing is going to happen if I don't do something. Whether it is taking a decision about what I want to do versus what I should do, or even figuring out what I really, really want... "DOING" is the key.
Back to my musings again...
