My day had a great start. One of my closest friend got a baby girl today, another niece for me. Then, watching news about Obama and his historic win with breakfast in the morning was a perfect morning.
But the day became quite lousy as it passed, came back early from work, though I have lots of work. Wanted to go shopping, didnt do that... started watching this movie "Fashion" starring Priyanka Chopra. She looks very nice and has acted really well.
The movie does talk about the Fashion world, but what is more striking is the "Ambitions" part. Being over-ambitious, dreaming the heights of success can sometime be really the negative aspect of your life. I have always been an ambitious person, sometime might be over-ambitious one. I've always wanted the best in life and does not settle down for the average. But with that, I realized that I am not enjoying my today, and enjoying today is more important and that is what it matters. I learned a little from this new mommy friend of mine and some more friends on how to enjoy your today irrespective of how good or bad it is... and I like it now, and I am happy. :)
"Fashion" had another dialogue "Sapne dekhte hai tab hume koi nahi batata, ki unke badle mein hume kitna kuch khona padega". It literally means, when we dream no one tells us how many sacrifices we have to make. And it hit me.... we know what we might get with that dream, but we dont know what all we will lose. And I can relate to it so much... Coming to US was a dream, and I am happy with what I have achieved, but I didnt know then what all will I lose while achieving this dream. Dont want to make a list of the losses... :-).
On a closing note, Being ambitious is still good... though there has to be a line between living today and being ambitious. Makes sense or just a rant? :-)

Kumble retires
Yeah... my blog starts with a very different kind of post. I have always wanted to write, but couldn't because of whatever reasons... Watched Kumble's retirement video on youtube and thought I should start writing from today... so here it is...
Kumble decides to retire today! A very unexpected news, that too in the middle of the series and "Today" was really shocking. Dont know if he has been thinking about it. Ganguly gave his decision of retirement 15-20 days before his actual retirement, so Ganguly's fans got their mind prepared. Kumble's sudden decision was shocking for Cricket fans. Great player with amazing composure and attitude in the field. I have always liked people who are good at what they do and have amazing attitude on their job, like Ajay Jadeja, Sachin, Sampras, Federrer, Dhoni and yeah Kumble. With Amit Mishra bagging 5 wickets in his first test match that too against Australia and Harbhajan doing his role and Dhoni winning the test match, I had expected that Kumble might see it as a sign. But not so soon. Well, Kotla being his favourite might have added to his decision.
So, I saw the video... I really liked the way the Indian team cheered Kumble. Two of them first carried him on their arms... others thought he is not high enough as he should be, so Dhoni carried him on his shoulders, to get Kumble to that height what he deserved. Such a person Dhoni is. I am really glad such warmth still exists. I wish Anil the best for whatever he decides to do next. This makes me wonder how its gonna be like when Sachin decides something like this. I actually dont even want to think about it... but I surely know how much I am going to cry that day. :)
