I just want you to know...

Like a voyeur, you watch my life through this window. Interested in the highs and lows. The spice. You watch my life. Like a movie. Never say a word. No, you arent a trespasser of my virtual home. 'Coz it was me, who threw open the door, for you to walk in. But still, its strange to see you here...

I have just found out that a lot of people that I know read my blog, and know that it is my blog. They have never commented or made their presence felt, though. Much surprise. But yes, I respect them for being discreet about it... either it was too boring for them to read it, or they realised that talking to me about it would make it a little awkward. Made me think... my life is very much an open-book these days, isnt it? Do I regret it? No actually. Some parts of my life I prefer to keep to myself, and shall stay off the blog. For the rest, it just makes life easier when you dont have to be mysterious about yourself. Less effort. Also, please note, anonymity is NOT the same as mystery.

I wonder what you see of me when you walk in. I wonder if you see a larger-than-life picture... coz it isnt so. Its a simple life, of a simple complicated person.

Sometimes I try to be humorous in narrating my life... sometimes I exaggerate my emotions... sometimes I say it as it is. But I wonder if it paints a larger-than-life picture of me. For all my emotions, I dont break down every now and then. For all my sadness, I'm not clinically depressed. For all my mood swings, I'm not loony. For all my binge shopping, I'm not that rich. For all my happiness, I'm not a all-is-good-with-the-world optimist. These are but just facets to my life. And I dont say it with smugness or pride, but there is a lot to my life, which you dont know of, despite it being an open book. I guess, some things we keep off the pages....

And while you are still watching this movie, and silently waiting for an exciting twist in the tale, here goes...

I am off to Bali for 4 days of sun, sleep and spa. In anticipation of all those comments which will ask me to 'have fun in Bali', allow me to say Thanks, will definitely try :)
