Reality Check
been thinking of starting a blog for a while... but was caught up in the usual dont have time syndrome...
have been lazying around since last evening as had mild fever... nothing better to do so here i am....
just figured yesterday that you cant pretend in front of people you like the most... i am in the middle of a transition in my work life and every now and then you come across people who ask you " so how is the new job going"..."liking it ?"..."settled in ?"and you just nod to them or just smirk and move on. going back to the mundane.
its just yesterday tht i went on lunch with this friend of mine, practically a mentor to me...he didnt even have to ask me... just said why do you look so terrible...forget lying or being smirkish... words didnt stop.. they went on and on about wht exactly was going on ....
same thing happened in the evening again... when i was speaking to some of my relatives on the phone.. all of them asked me the same things... but one of them just hit the nail on the head... the moment i started speaking to him he asked as to why i sounded so tired...but this time i didnt ramble... coz i was with my folks...
anyway the point being tht i guess if you really connect to people at some level.... then you cant hide the truth from them... you might pretend to be bold in front of zillions of others...but these people will be your reality check...and in a way its nice....

Finally we get something from u!
Totally agree that with some people you just can't pretend that things are hunky-dory.. with others u can just shrug it off, but some people don't let u go so easily.. its a blessing actually to have such people in ur life! They are the real friends who are'nt afraid to probe and in turn listen to u..
Btw.. hope u're here to stay!
