giving thanks....

aren't holidays all about family?
giving thanks - with your family, for your family.

arey, here, by myself, holidays only mean days i don't have to go to work. time creeps, crawls, day after day, week after week, month after month and one year gives way to another. sankranthi, ugadi, vinayaka chavithi, dussehra, deepavali now become mere dates to be noted alongside other trivial but nonetheless important ones like birthdays, days when bills are due, potluck parties that attempt recreate the festive atmosphere but fail miserably and so on.

that leaves me with easter, thanksgiving and christmas.
"so, what are you doing this thanksgiving?", they ask me all the time these days (don't get me wrong, they're quite well-intentioned). i wish i could say i was spending it with family. i don't care what it is i'm celebrating. as long as i'm with family. that's reason enough i guess. i miss them. so.

sigh.

I dont mind a holiday whenever it comes along. When i feel like brooding that i dont have anyone to spend it with, I just consider the alternative. No holiday.

Having created a Blog, I haven't been looking around much, in the sense...who shares a similar taste in films etc. Did so today though. So surprising! My own space is www.planetarytransformation.blogspot.com.
