Guess what I am doing right now?

As part of my worried mom act, I called up big N (who is in India now on a completely impulsive holiday) yesterday to check on her well-being.

"Hi, guess what I am doing right now," was her response as soon as she picked up the phone.

Hmmm...???

"I am riding a camel outside the Taj (Mahal)...."

And guess what I am doing right now in NZ? Waiting for the summer that is almost finished but hasn't yet arrived!

The NZ Pohutukawa, known as the Kiwi Christmas tree, in bloom.

Ooooh, the holiday break starts from tomorrow - and it can't come soon enough for me.

So here's wishing the world and all, a very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all that.

I might blog during the break if I am so inclined, but till then.....this is it.

How much of each day (and hence, my life) do I spend on doing
things I love;
things I like;
the ho-hum things;
things I dislike;
things I absolutely detest?

I stopped my calculations pretty quickly as the results promised to be really depressing!

Why, why, why? Is it because I haven't learnt to love the things I have to do lots of?

And I also wondered: for the other one billion+ people out there, would these numbers be similar to mine? Or completely different?
