I keep telling myself the day i lose 5kgs or the day i reach my 'target weight' i'll be happy...instead of living each moment to its fullest. <BR/><BR/>to celebrate this breakthrough i'm going to treat myself to a sugar doughnut now :)Aquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02884584874282115926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-1153897271624975052006-07-26T14:01:00.000+07:002006-07-26T14:01:00.000+07:00It is about the journey, and seldom of the thing t...It is about the journey, and seldom of the thing that induced the journey, yet the reality of things always make us live for the thing rather than the journey.

But when we trade everything off in pursuit of this elusive thing, it is sucha waste.<BR/><BR/>Ravi:Batsmen getting out at 99. Good point. I have always pitied them - it took a lot of hardwork to score those 99 but finally it is the last one they DIDN'T that seems to make all the difference.<BR/>I get aso annoyed with parents whose children get 95 in math and the parents ask them "where did the other 5 go!" What a shame!<BR/><BR/>M j:Yes, the idea is not to shy away from challenges but not to chase after things that do not necessarily make you happier than you already are.<BR/><BR/>Alapana: You summed it up neatly girl.<BR/>Glad to know mom's health is improving and waiting for your mail. You are welcome anytime to rush to me.<BR/><BR/>Hiphopgrandmom:Sukhrogis - what a nice term! Don't we see them all the time around us? I know this friend in a very highly paid job blessed with two lovely children and asweet wife. He is so busy climbing the corporate ladder that he hardly has time for his family. he is postponing spending time with them until he has achieved some target he has set for himself. What he doesn't seem to realise is that by then his youngest will be a teen ager and he will already ahve bcome a stranger to them.<BR/><BR/>Ardra: thanks and done.<BR/>and stop looking for gray strands and soon they will cease to matter!<BR/><BR/>Shashi: I understand that we cant all sit back and enjoy what we have and expect progress. But one should know the difference between inaction and necessary level of activity.Why ia making the next million mjore worthwhile than spending time with your ageing parents or growing children?<BR/><BR/>Vidya: Yes, I agree. Somehow our pursuit seems justified while others' seems greedy! In some way we are all guilty of this kind of chase - our system makes it necessary and justified. It reqquires a tremendous effort to say "I am stopping now"<BR/><BR/>Sinuma: Agree.<BR/><BR/>Passerby: It has nothing to do with me. I guess I am plain lucky that such people read my posts and you know what the comments they share gives me clarity and sometimes a different perspective.<BR/>Thanks for reading me and sharing your perspective and as a bonus, liking it too...:) I love visiting you too!Ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179239922869639391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-1153875168026435732006-07-26T07:52:00.000+07:002006-07-26T07:52:00.000+07:00hi there!do you know you don;t make people think w...hi there!<BR/><BR/>do you know you don;t make people think with all your post ..<BR/><BR/>"The 99 club" post makes me realise you help people to REFLECT rather than THINK<BR/><BR/>USha where does this art of making people Reflect come from?<BR/><BR/>Did i tell you i love visiting your blog?passerby55https://www.blogger.com/profile/17788718555377390569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-1153845306347289292006-07-25T23:35:00.000+07:002006-07-25T23:35:00.000+07:00how very true...! and you know strangely in life I...how very true...! and you know strangely in life I have always felt and seen that - it is easy to identify somebody else who is is a part of the 99 club and more easier to advise somebody not to be a part of it; but the most hardest part is to identify if we ourselves are part of the 99 club and most impossible - to get out of it, if we are involuntary members.Vidhya Rajeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253651706729255817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-1153828624359054442006-07-25T18:57:00.000+07:002006-07-25T18:57:00.000+07:00:) i can never figure you out. haha. i've read som...:) i can never figure you out. haha. i've read something that shares these sentiments.

It is certainly not possible to reverse something as natural as ageing - the best way to handle it is to wear the wrinkles with dignity. Something which our earlier generations did without even tryingese lines.<BR/><BR/>Thats very very true. I learnt a lot frm these lines if i have to be honest.<BR/><BR/>Yes this 99 ka chakkar admi ko ghanchaker banna deta hai..n what abt all those batsmen who get out at 99. How elusive this ONE becomes at that time.ravihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02867845601182796491noreply@blogger.com
