The limit of being fed up?

    We all get fed up of our jobs, life, and people sometimes.I was just discussing with a friend who used "i am fed up" every alternate day now.So, i asked him, how does he deal with the fed up feeling, seems like he just ignored it and it went away, another said that he just solved it by logic and it went away.But, is it that easy? Personally i just discuss the fed up reason and move on.But,its easier said than done.Some of us also behave like the world has ended and commit suicide.Not every suicide case is a manic depression patient.Its amazing to see that people take that decision sometimes for silly reasons.
    I personally think we just disassociate from the situation or people causing it for sometime and re-evaluate our expectations.Are we being unrealistic? If yes, time to ground yourself in reality and move on.Life's to short to waste in being fed up.Turn on some loud music ,watch something funny and life's back on track!

Valentines day mania

     This day every year puts so much pressure on  single and not single and married people .They all frantically run around booking gifts etc for their other half and update facebook with that gift and shiny eyes.I totally abhor this culture of showing off gifts on facebook and people so materialistic that they need 100 likes to reemphasize their love :P
      Anyways i might be a hypocrite but i did try my level best to get something that my fiance likes but alas these online merchants are totally unreliable to deliver on time.Only one out of three things got delivered.Its a childhood trait of mine where i love giving gifts , but i never really except to get one in lieu of that !!I used to gift a friend of mine every year on her birthday ,but she even used to forget to wish me.It never deterred until someone pointed out i can maybe gift that to someone who will appreciate it, like a book and pencil to a poor child! Well, that got me thinking and i always feel expensive flowers a bad gift , as they are so expensive and they don't last beyond few hours and flowers look good on plants than in shops.But, well i still love this, aren't i sounding like a total hypocrite.Anyways, people will always be people, and i am one among them, thou i am taking the holier than thou attitude ;)

The intricacies on culture

Ah..what a beautiful country we live in, a secular, multicultural ,colorful place.The life we lead is surely similar to the Ekta Kapoor saga, of course i am joking!! If real like was like the soaps , then i would just be dressing up and putting makeup and shedding some tears everyday.But, in real we have far different worries, work life balance,(oh yeah, we toil in office in real life), relationship balance, and what not.
I just saw this on internet :D, and had to write something on this.I have started to use "i don't care" lately a lot.Sometimes its just to pacify your mind that you don't care.Imagine within same community people have different set of traditions, customs, which is fun if they are fun.But when it gives you a headache, they only thing you can do is "i don't care" quote.Now,  post marriage i have to come back to my mayka ;), now this is done by a brother.Now, my cousins are all working and i can't expect them to take additional week leave to pick and drop me(they are anyways taking for the wedding itself).As travelling is to places far apart.Now, either i adopt a brother or pester someone to pick me.My mom says that period is not shubh and i should stay back at in-laws place.My in-laws side thinks first Holi is to be at mom's place.(I don't mind going, but getting someone to pick me middle of week is hassle).Now, they are all making me feel unwanted !!(lol, if the brother clause wasn't there , and these tradition weren't there, i would have just jumped and gone on some trip).Now, you see how traditions become a headache in itself.I am wondering how this puzzle will solve now. I am sure some poor cousin will be forced to pick me !(Like a sack :D).I am not complaining, just that i have seen people struggling to make sense of tradition and culture sometimes!It just kills the fun out of life, makes you feel like piece of baggage.
