Dream on..

And I dream on.
I think of all the traveling I would like to do. Writing of course.. not that any one would care to read it. But come on.. when the words fall right into place in a smooth flow.. when you don't even have to pause and think, but the words just keep coming.. penning your thoughts is simply one of the most wonderful things to do! (Reminds me of a conversation with a friend... you write for yourself much more than writing to be read! Writing can give you a joy like no other..) And of course, music. Lots of it. It would be a fun life.. a nice combination of all 3. Of course if only I'd have the time for all that and loadsa money to do all that traveling.....
But still it doesn't hurt to dream on.. does it? I love the childishness associated with it. It's fun to dream .. what will I be when I "grow up"? What will I do when I'm done with this? Or what next? Mebbe I may do it all.. or mebbe none at all. But still.. building castles in the air does let you dream passionately. It's more fun to dream than to even achieve it! :)

And on a totally different context, here's my thanksgiving note..
Enjoyed a beautiful evening on my own in my third home (Pomona)! A wonderful concert. Great food. And the fact that He's so close. I love it. I'm thankful for it all. Thank you!

I wonder..

I'm wondering.. what is the best way to deal with a situation where you know some one has talked crap about you? Do you still try and entertain that person? Or do you shut yourself up from the person forever? I've always believed in giving people the benefit of doubt.. but some times I wonder if its worth it. Is it worthwhile to let yourself be sorta exposed to the person so that he/she may pass his/her judgments and comments about you behind your back? Or do you just forget about whatever they said and try to continue the friendship thinking its just another rough.. pretending that everthing's fine and everyone's happy? Hmmmm.. I have cases where I've done both.. staying away and being good friends with people that I know were actually in fact mean to me behind my back. Not surprisingly, some of my close people can never see eye to eye with my "still good friends" policy after a scar! I don't know.. either I'm just being stupid.. or I'm being too 'Gandhian' for my own good by giving people the benefit of doubt. But sometimes I find snapping out a little too hard to do.
Aha! Thats ironic and I'm amused! :)
