Year 2009

I felt 2008 went by too fast... when i look back so many months were just a blur...all in all it was a good year with a lot of lessons learnt...there were many highlights.. one being that i turned 25 and had a blast on my birthday.... i got my second job after 6 months of searching... made many new friends at work and as i work in a college its fun to interact with the students...developed an interest in Photography and planning to pursue this hobby. I completed working for a yr in the month of Jan 09. Never thought i wud last in my current job this long. Was tempted to leave many times, m glad i stuck on though. In this recession i doubt gettin a job elsewhere...Anyways hopin to be more disciplined here in my lifestlye and also maintaining my blog.. hee hee..hope i dont break these resolutions:)

Movie Review time...

Well its been long I’ve written a movie review…I saw a comedy movie last Saturday-Evan Almighty. It is a sequel to Bruce Almighty. I liked it better than Bruce Almighty coz I guess Steve Carell is a lil milder than Jim Carrey. The story line is good. Evan Baxter(Steve Carell) is a congressman. Very particular about how he looks and is very clean. And that sometimes brings out an attitude that he is inconsiderate. He wants to change the world(metaphorically speaking). So he prays about it one night… so he gets an opportunity to do so…. But the process did not seem right according to him… but everythin works out well.. and he does get to save atleast his town…
The dialogues in the movie are good… I mean I was laughin quite a bit…the one character I really liked in the movie was steve carell’s secretary-wanda sykes. That woman has some character… she can make any man shake in their boots…
Something that came out to me from the movie was that, we need to be very careful of wat we ask for…coz the way we get it or the process, as u might say might not be as we might expect.. like I always tell my sister, lets make careful prayers, coz our God takes them very seriously..

Holiday time!!!

I know I have not been that great in updating my blog… was busy with work for a few weeks n then I had the diwali holidays…. So I thought I might as well write something today. My holidays went pretty well. It was a good relaxin time.. even though I did not go out of station it was good just to be at home. Mom dad had been out so it was fun.. I spent my time reading, watchin movies(which I don’t get to do much coz of my crazy schedule), eating some yummy treats(as it was diwali had a lot of faraal).. so basically I just lazed around… to sum it up I had a relaxed time…

Picture time!!!

Thought i'd do somethin different today.. instead of writing, i thought why not put some favourite pictures of mine...Got a new camera a few months back... so right now m just a beginner... maybe u might not find anythin great in the pics.. but for me it does mean a lot:)

Fond Memories!!!

Before u know it its the end of the month.. well m glad n not complaining… coz that always means your closer to getting ur pay… its Friday and the end of the working week, which always makes me happy.. but this time m happier as m goin for a picnic (if I shud put it that way) with my office colleagues… m hopin to have a good time and just enjoy myself.. its been a really long time that I have gone out.. and this is the first time I am goin out with my office friends… planning to go to lonavala, and then to Lohagad and then stop for lunch at a resort… this is surely gonna be a stress buster( not like I am stressed out or anything) coz work has always been relaxed for me(have been blessed with that) but m welcome to any change from my routine life…

Last weekend was fun too… went for this long drive with my friend in her car.. it was like 4 girls in a car havin a good time… who says u need guys to have fun…played some great music in the car and that kept us going.. I enjoy these time with friends coz i know m not gonna get them back and I wanna make most of it now…u never know if u will get these wonderful days of singleness again(now m getting all senti haha).. but wat m tryin to say that I had a good time…


Things at workplace are goin well too… kinda getting settled so that nice.. m glad m around young people..(as m workin in a design college)… get to see a lot of interesting stuff..and lot of talent.. next month is gonna be fun as I have a week off for diwali, n we have the dandiya night..which means I will get to dance woohoo.. have always wanted to go for these dandiya dance stuff(basically i like getting all dressed up in indian clothes, n jewellery) so m actually lookin forward to all these things… so I guess right now life is pretty smooth… M happy, single n enjoyin every moment of it…

Sing Praises unto the Lord!!!

Was really encouraged this mornin by the following devotional, so i thought i'd share it...

“Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord.” - Ephesians 5:19
If we are Spirit-filled, we will have songs of praise in our hearts and on our lips.Once a Christian knows about being Spirit-filled and walking by the Spirit, it is still fair for him or her to ask, “But how can I know if the Holy Spirit is really at work in my life?” Ephesians 5:19 answers this question by declaring one of the unmistakable evidences of the Spirit’s full operation in our lives—we will have a song in our hearts.
The Bible does not give us much detail about the practical use of music and song, but there are enough references so that its significance to God and His people is clear. The Israelites praised God after He rescued them from the Egyptians (Ex. 15). The Psalms are filled with songs and praise, epitomized by the final verse, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” (150:6).
In the New Testament, Jesus and the disciples closed the Last Supper by singing a hymn (Matt. 26:30). Paul and Silas sang while they were imprisoned at Philippi (Acts 16:25). During his vision in Revelation 5, the apostle John sees this: “When He [Christ, the Lamb] had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song” (vv. 8-9).
That “new song” John was about to hear sung before God’s throne was not just new chronologically—it was new qualitatively. Here as elsewhere in the New Testament, “new” is used in relation to God’s salvation, which means it makes perfect sense for us to sing a new song—one that is far better than the world’s songs—if we are saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. Words of genuine praise should well up in our hearts often and at the appropriate times break forth from our lips as we reflect the joy of the Spirit-filled life.
Suggestions for Prayer: Thank God specifically for some of your favorite hymns.
For Further Study: Read Revelation 5:1-14 for the complete context of John’s new song. What is the song’s theme? How many eventually join in the praises?

Heart of Worship

The song " Heart of Worship"has been one of my favourite worship songs. With a lot of things goin on in my life right now, the song aptly describes my state of mind . I am so thankful unto the Lord that I worship a God who is Holy, Mighty and a compassionate friend.


Heart of Worship
-Matt Redman
When the music fades and all is stripped away
And I simply come

Longing just to bring something that's of worth

That will bless Your heart

I'll bring You more than a song

For a song in itself

Is not what You have required

You search much deeper within

Through the way things appear

You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship

And it's all about You All about You, Jesus

I'm sorry, Lord, for the things I've made it

When it's all about You All about You, Jesus

King of endless worth,

No one could express

How much You deserve

Though I'm weak and poor,

All I have is Yours Every single breath
