Leaving on a Jet plane...
Well! Just like John Denver, I am leaving on a Jet plane. For those who really wanted to know what was bothering me, here is the deal. I am supposed to leave for India (Bangalore) on April 16, 2006 (i.e. Sunday) for a week. The reason for anxiety was someone who was trying to make sure I do not travel on this date. But I just kept my fingers crossed. I had to travel urgently as Apy is not keeping well and doctors in Japan have given up. They just couldn’t cure him. So, that makes me all the more tense. I have no idea what’s wrong with me. May be Desi doctors could help me out. That’s the only hope I have.
Currently my state of mind is a combination of excitement and tension. My folks are planning to come all the way from Delhi to see me. Its been a long time since I saw them last (3 months is a long time :P). So, I am all tensed whether I will be able to reach India or am I going to get stuck with something. I know I am whining unnecessarily but a phenomenon runs in the family. If something is planned, it will never work out. What works out is something that’s spontaneous. Sounds weird? It keeps happening with me all the time. So that makes my worry number 2 valid.
May be I am a paranoid. When it comes to something that has been planned, I am usually like that. I ask everyone who knows about it, not to be confident of its happening until it has happened. It has happened with me a zillion times. I planned so it didn’t work out.
I am a strong believer of ‘What ever happens happens for good’. But then, at times, even I give up on my faith. Usually, when something like this is about to happen, I form my sentences very carefully. Those who know me will agree to this. Instead of saying, “I am coming”, I end up saying, “I might come”. So that makes it look like it’s not planned and it ‘may’ or ‘may not’ happen. It’s like cheating luck or you can say, cheating yourself. But at times it works. I don’t know how, but it does.
So here I am, waiting for Sunday. Keeping my fingers crossed, hoping that I reach India and get well soon.

had to take the help of google uncle for this
It's easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song.
But the man worth while is the one who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble and it always comes with years.
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth
Is the smile that shines through the tears.
so take care and smile. cus life happens when u're busy making plans .
