Arti then ...
Arti Now ...
1. The day I blessed the earth remains the same. As far as my demands are concerned, there is slight change in the demands ...
Maybe it is a little selfish on my part but I wish to be left out of all the mess. I want to be alone!
2. I still cannot see two people fighting but now I do not poke my nose in between, have learned it that hard way.
3. This point would never change
4. This is true even now but at times I just get out of control when the melancholy is too much for me to handle like recently when I hurt a friend by being too blunt or maybe I was rude for all that he did was show his concern and care for me
5. I still go out of my way to help people. A few friends would vouch for that. This, at times, puts me in awkward position later on.
6. I am still loving, caring and loyal but over a period of time I have learned not to cry over other people's problems because it is their karma. What I do instead is make the matters easier for them in my own way.
7. This point too remains the same. It's been a long time since I went to the sea :(
8. I am still short tempered BUT ... I have improved a lot! The tantrums have minimized, banging fists completely stopped :) and throwing things around have minimized too ... so this means, you can come close to me when I am angry and you won't need a helmet :)
9. I am still friendly to everyone ...
Even a stranger is greeted with a smile, till the time he does not start following me on the road and then ask for my cell number. That is when I switch to my introvert self.
This is true even now ...
Often it has happened that my friendliness is taken in a wrong way by a few people and then unfortunately I have to get back into my shell, I need to do that for both myself and the opposite person.
10. I still believe in flowing with the tide. Believe in living in today. I have also learned that I can improve my tomorrow by the deeds of today and not repeat mistakes of the past.
11. Cleaniless ... Oh well ... I have changed a bit here too. I can now tolerate uncleanliness in others. As far as I am concerned, most of the times you will still find my desk and room clean. Sometimes it is a mess :)
12. I am still a nocturnal kind of animal :) God knows if that is ever going to change!
13. Love is a past now. A past that does not haunt me now.
14. Still not a party animal. Still prefer to be alone.
15. I do not give unsolicited advices now, because I have learned the hard way that they always backfire. I have grown up on this front.
16. I still consider myself to be blessed by God for reasons mentioned earlier and a few more additions to the list
17. Sleeping pills are a NO for me now. Been a long time since I took the last one. Don't remember when that was...
18. Complete 180 degree turn. I do not get irritated on being disturbed now :)
19. I am still possessive about my things ... don't think that will change! Yeah, if anyone promises me that he/she will take good care of my things then I do not mind lending them!
20. I still love music and music still calms me. And - I do not hug my pillow now :D
