Fasting Month Finally..

Listening to Audioslave ('be yourself") and Saliva ("rest in pieces") at this time of the night sets me up in a nostalgic mood .. thinkin years back..

Anyway, fasting commences on tuesday.. hmm honestly there are some pros and cons.. cons being that i am gonna lose some weight..( which is an issue to me considerin the amt of effort i invested in bulking up my weight) but the pros out weighs everything else.. its the time to attend the terawih prayers.. catch up with the old neighbourhood boys.. conduct group breaking fast events at various restaurants.. its gonna be so ppl oriented.. bonds take centre stage and materialistic pursuits take backstage for a month.. there is not gonna be any room for profanities and acts that fall out of decorum.. heck, its gonna be the perfect society for one month.. somethin abt the festive season jus makes me hyper..

Thank god this year the hari raya comes first.. then deepavali.. finally can eat to the hearts content.. there is a certain inexpressible joy in inviting the buddies and relatives over to break fast and eat together.. its something that somehow gives you that security that you are not all alone in this world..and that there will be ppl to catch you when and if u fall..I know i sound like a kid but trust me this entire year has been a big burden so far.. i can use some relief in the form of festivities.. maybe this time round i really have learnt that its bonds that matter the most and nothing else matters(what a coincidence listenin to it now..goose bumps...) really, all the insane (i said insane...) sacrifices for our materialistic pursuits for what? in the end its not the money we earned that buries us but our fathers , brothers, frens(not to leave out our mothers and sisters)... its the ppl arond us... they shed the tears.. not the currency or condo or car or credit cards..

they say tat if u truly love someone , everyday can be valentines day.. why not everyday be a festive day and all the ppl lovin and accomodating each others cultures and differences..

hmm this is startin me off on a thought train.. i shall not continue.. i have this habit of overthinkin certain issues..
