Heartache
Today was a rather interesting day. I started with getting a temporary mobile number for Sydney also getting some Indian currency exchanged into Australian dollars. During the day I spoke to a few friends and it seemed like I was playing agony aunt today counseling everyone. It was ironic because my life is in such a lot of mess and here I was counseling other people. I guess looking at things from a third person's perspective is always easy. It seems like all my friends are going through a tough time in life. One wants to move on with her life but feels that she may end up hurting her boyfriend with whom she is a long distance relationship. I suggested that either she gets some sot of commitment from her boyfriend or there is no point trying to hold on to a relationship that already seems doomed.
Another friend is contemplating divorce from her gay husband but is worried about the future of her children. There too I suggested that if she is independent and out of a toxic relationship she would be in a much better position to look after the welfare of her children. Then there was another friend who has got out of a long relationship due to his parents not approving of his girlfriend and has been engaged to a girl chosen by his family. Today after a long time his ex called and that kinda upset his balance. I was trying to just cheer him up because in this situation I had nothing to say. I hope my cynicism and recent unfortunate brush with relationships hasn't influenced my suggestions and hope it works out for the best for all or them. I believe that love mostly leads to lots of pains and tears but it takes a rather brave person to open his heart after he has been hurt once. I am a coward in that respect but hope to change that this year. Enough of playing it safe I guess I have to let go of my guard and give 'love' another shot!!
On a completely separate note I went to the movies today. A friend and I went to see National Treasure - Book of Secrets. Nothing great but nevertheless kept me interested. But the high point of the day was listening to Charkha the new music album by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan the nephew of legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. His music would surely make his uncle proud. Beautiful songs about love, separation, heartache and unconditional love done justice by Rahat's soulful and poignant rendition.

The journey begins very soon. Have a wonderful flight to Australia!
have a safe trip and bring some nice weather with you please!
Thanks Mr Hyde and Gabriel. I wish I could get nice weather but I think that after all the near 0 degrees nights in Chandigarh the summer in Sydney would be a welcome change for me :-)
