Obsessions

Sometimes it is so important to have obsessions in life. And when I say obsession, mind you I am not referring to those mammoth ones that encompass one’s entire life. I am talking about little obsessions that make life exciting. They could be anything ranging from hunting for a rare song to pining for a day off from work to craving for a pastry. The problem with us is that we get so hooked up running behind the larger obsessions in life that these smaller ones just go unnoticed and largely neglected. While the larger obsessions occupy every second to the extent of making life uncomfortable, the smaller ones provide the oft-needed excitement and will to carry on despite the drudgery of routine.

So true Mitu. But, I as a person crave for all that is small and beautiful. Dont knw why it makes me so happy. I am not too ambitious I guess! But I prefer taking one step at a go. About the pastry thing...well, everyday on my way back home from office I indulge in a chocolate truffle pastry from Copper Chocs...hehehe:)
