Life's harsh realities

This is one of those posts that comes after the philosopher in me awakened. Seriously.. What happens when you face problems or issues? When things don't go as you thought it would? When you're too tired and exhausted, but you should still go on? Would you run away as far as you could from the problem(s) or would you dare to face it straight on the face?

I'm just trying to find out what my course of action should be, facing something like that. You have two options when you're encountered with a crisis.

1. Run away from it/ Pretend like it never existed or came about/ Hope for better things in the future/ Learn from such an event.

2. FIGHT! Whether you win or lose, you fight. The result is not the matter of focus. If it's something worth fighting for and if you've got something that you don't deserve, you definitely have to voice it out.

My course of action is definitely Option # 2. Nobody is going to know what you deserve and what you've got unless you speak it up. Most of the time, they are not going to listen to you and may overpower you with their opinion. But there is nothing wrong in fighting it out. Like a champ. I deserve better. I'm not going to sit mutely and watch the politics and undercurrents involved to thrash me down.

Looking for some inspiration and grit to keep moving in this difficult path. Refraining from posting the "Fine tuned details" over here.

Egypt.

This is one place in the world which amazes me. No, make it - AMAZES me. Who knows? Maybe I've got a previous birth bond with the country, but since the time I can remember I've always wanted to go there. Once, at least. :) It's the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx which make me go in awe. There's something mysteriously spectacular about the pyramids, the Mummies, the Emperors who reigned Ancient Egypt and the history of this brilliant country. I'm not entirely sure why, but I'm attracted to Egypt like the nettle to light! I've seen this unique destination in movies, I've seen it in Tamil songs like Poovukkul (Jeans) and read about it too. The inspiration and adoration never seems to cease.

I remember that once I had a funny dare with Aarthi on whether Rome was in Egypt or Egypt was in Rome. A bet on something in that effect. I think I said that Egypt was a part of Rome while she said that was not true. Okay, I lost. Rome was nowhere in the map when you're talking about Egypt. The bet was that I had to buy a Falooda for her (and Madhu too, since she barged into the bet just like that!) if I lost, but I never kept it till date. Hehe! :-D Come to think of it, maybe I should visit Rome too, you know. Some day. :-D Traveling around the world (Just a few places) would be something I'd like to do once I've saved enough. I can hear you saying "India laye evlavo places irukku.. Adha vitutu adhenna Rome, Egypt nu scene podra iva?" :-P Well, on an international level, there are a few tourist destinations I'd like to go to, Egypt being amongst those.

Travel Wish-list:
1. Egypt.
2. Rome.
3. Switzerland.
4. Amsterdam, the Netherlands - for The Flower Festival in spring!
5. Australia.
6. Jaipur/ Agra (The Tajmahal) - I've been there already, but wouldn't mind going there once more!
7. Madam Tussaud's, UK.
8. Disneyland, California.
9. Universal Studios, LA
10. Kochi, Kerala.
11. New Delhi.

This is a very random wish-list and more places would surely get added, depending very much on my mood and passion. For now, these are the places that I can think of. :)

P.S.: Dear Future Husband,

If you're reading this some day to know better about me, then you'll know what are the places that your wife would like to visit in her lifetime. Try to plan a get-away/ give her a surprise and she'd be overjoyed. :)

Sincerely,
Your Future Wife. ;)
