Me, Mua and Myself :)

" Hi! I'm ******."

"And you .... " I'm Di-ana" ...

"Didn't get that..."

I said " DI(e) ANA" ...

"Oh you mean " DI(h)Na" ....

" Yes .. but ... well it's DIANA".

" O'rite .. got that ... Di-Nah"

I just smiled back at Him politely ... and in my head I cribbed one more time about why the pro-nun-ciation of my name is sooooooooooo difficult :)

"So tell me more about you .. " I pondered on whether this conversation was worth continuing ... since I did have some time to kill I said what the heck ..

I told him about my professional life (which is just about 75% of my life :P ) .... Then came around some questions about personal life ... Careful not to give him too much detail, I mentioned a few things about home, hobbies, music (don't consider music a hobby .. it's more like the other 25% of my life or maybe more) ... And summed up my entire life in 5 lines .... All he did was shook his head (probably not following half of what I said considering the pace of my speech)

Post the conversation, (as usual) I drifted back to my thoughts ... And as I walked down the calm lanes of the town-side(what we Mumbaikars like calling this part of town) towards the train station with a lil slow rock music for company ... I wondered if my identity had summed up to just an employee of a creative house ... where was the girl who was sooooo much more than that??

Had wee(a)kdays of work taken away her ink pot of thoughts that she was put into beautiful words on paper....

Had late nights and early (not very early) mornings deflected her heart from discovering a new song that she hummed through the day ????

Had the routine life stopped her from capturing those special moments in celluloid (or in this case .. a memory card on the Digicam)

The goddess of Hunting had killed her instinct to live life to the fullest ...

So never mind this realization 1 and half month post the new year ... I decided to make a resolution ... to bring back the same Di-ana .. who likes to spread the cheer ... the music and festivities ...

even on an odd day at work ... :)
