Great Expectations
November 7, 2005There are times when u want 2 break away 4m da hypothetical cocoon or the shell
that one creates around himself. One’s gets tired following da same ideologies n
principles. It’s too stereotyped at times, thats when one surprises himself n
temporarily breaks away from da shell.
Thats what I do. It brings a smile on my face as I accomplish da challenges
which I set by defying myself.
Here are a few examples:
Greeting my watchman and askin him how he’s doing,
cracking a joke 2 da person who’s sitting next 2 me in da bus and yes he’s a
stranger.
But later we got talking, because i had already broken the ice. And in the end
we exchanged visiting cards.
Wishing every person I came across a very Happy Diwali.
These are a few, but it made a difference to me. More confident now, and yeah,
I know quite a few people who were strangers to me before.
The last year I also went out of my way 2 wish people on their birthdays.
Also made it very special 4 few. But a time comes when u want them 2 remember
your birthday too, and if possible make it a little special by coming with a cake or wishing at sharp midnight. Or messaging the entire day 2 wish him a great
year ahead.
Well thats what I have done 4 da people I love n care due 2 which I did have my
share of expectations on my birthday i.e the 2nd of nov. Unfortunely it wasn’t
fulfilled when some very close people didnt think it 2 be necessary 2 remember
me then.
Finally, I realised that, never expect. Do your good and be satisfied.
Thats my resolution for the year ahead, and it’s gonna be another great year.

That is what I like about this person…. always trying to make others happy even at his own cost… But you are learning about life… be it in the hard way… Enjoy life …..
