The Cup of Life

The cup of life, this is the one

Now is the time, don't ever stop

Push it along, gotta be strong

Push it along, right to the top

The feeling in your soul is gonna take control

Nothing can hold you back if you really want it

I see it in your eyes, you want the cup of life

Now that the day is here, gotta go and get it

Do you really want it (yeah)

Do you really want it (yeah)

Here we go, ale, ale, ale

Go, go, go, ale, ale, ale

Tonight's the night, we're gonna celebrate

The cup of life, ale, ale, ale

The cup of life, it's do or die

It's here it's now, turn up the lights

Push it along, then let it roll

Push it along, go, go, go

And when you feel the heat,

the world is at your feet

No one can hold you down if you really want it

Just steal your destiny right from the hands of fate

Reach for the cup of life 'cause your name is on it

Do you really want it (yeah)

Do you really want it (yeah)

Here we go, ale, ale, ale

Go, go, go, ale, ale, ale

Tonight's the night we're gonna celebrate

Another Month Went By...

Another month went by.. and this time it passed by even faster than the one before!
By now, I had taken to reading different books, made connections with old pals and colleagues, got a few recommendations on LikedIn and lots of adulation for my albums on Orkut.

Weekends were busy with visits to the local library, the shopping mall, the multiplex and of course the tennis courts. Tennis was slowly becoming a passion, the more we played the more our game improved. We even had an Arab from Jordan who saw our game and told us we had immense potential to play gr8 tennis. He actually walked up after watching us for a couple of minutes and gave us tips on how to serve and play your returns.. We got talking and learnt that he was a businessman who played tennis for at least 3 hrs every day and was on a vacation to the UK to meet his friends.

Abhi and me had started finding a lot of time for each other; be it dining on the terrace or going for long walks, playing tennis or just whiling our time chatting in the park. We were thinking how come we never had dinner on our own terrace in Pune in the more than 2 yrs that we were married and how exhausted we used to be by the time we both got home that we’d doze off on the sofa at times and there were days we hardly shared our day before bedtime..

Now days were different.. However, life in Pune had its own charm and life in Luton has its own. The two aren’t comparable but the bottom line is, we truly were and are making the most of whatever is at hand …

Somewhere at the back of my mind I was constantly telling myself that I needed to make the most of this free time I had, but that disappointment was still setting in, the fact that I was unemployed, the fact that I started my job search only after completing a month here in Luton, the fact that I had been job hunting for a month now and nothing substantial had been achieved.

I was actually avoiding a call back to India fearing I had nothing to say to Dad who was so keen on listening about my progress on the Job front. Mom had already started questioning the fact that if we as a couple had made the right decision in terms of me giving up such a gr8 job and moving to a foreign land. But when you are in Love, one makes adjustments for the other, only then do both of you move forward to pursue your ambitions. Nothing is permanent nor success neither failure. Each of it is a passing phase in Life, how you react to one depends on how fast you flip into the other.

The only person who was certainly making me feel high on life was Anant, my younger brother – he says it’s just a matter of time and you will be back to being your energetic self – a highly self driven motivated professional that you have been for the more than 4 1/2 yrs of your Career.

Sometimes the whole world is rooting for your success and you feel the anxiety to keep up to all their expectations.. that is exactly what I am going through at this point in time… I know for sure that I am of course going to land up a job!

Life has always been a sine wave for most of us I am sure. Thankfully, I have come back strong and fought hard to stay in the positive quadrant for majority of the times in my Life. This is one of those very rare phases when u fear the worst, but this is again the very time when you got to hope for the best, cause you aren’t an ordinary individual !

There is a competency that is unique to you, a persona that you are reputed for, a profile that exactly matches your skill set and a Job that you are best suited for!! As I say always - The BEST is YET to COME – only this time I am hoping it comes sooner than later…

Thanks a million times to all you friends who have been trying to help me out, even in the smallest possible ways…!! Keep the flames burning while I keep hope alive!

And oh yes … Herez Wishing you all, A Very Happy Friendship Day (in advance)!! :)
Lots of Luv,
- sayli ! :)

Hero - Enrique

(Whispered) Let me be your hero

Would you dance if I asked you to dance?

Would you run and never look back

Would you cry if you saw me crying

Would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?

Would you laugh oh please tell me this

Now would you die for the one you love?

Hold me in your arms tonight?

(Chorus)

I can be you hero baby

I can kiss away the pain

I will stand by you forever

You can take my breath away

Would you swear that you'll always be mine?

Would you lie would you run away Am I in to deep?

Have I lost my mind?

I don't care you're here tonight

Chorus (2x)

I just want to hold you

Am I in too deep?

Have I lost my mind?

Well I don't care you're here tonight

Chorus (2x)

You can take my breath my breath away

I can be your hero
