Quartered Out!

I do feel almost super guilty for having ignored this space for soo long. There could be a ton of reasons for that but one that encompasses all is that I have been 'Quartered Out'
I joined this Sales role more than a year ago and since then my life (personal & professional) has been ruled by Quarters.

While beginning of every Quarter involves a ton of planning, mid quarter makes me feel nervous that I am losing out on time; end of quarter I am left scrambling for every single penny I can grab. And just when I think I can breathe, its time to step into ...yes..another Quarter.

I have let these quarters define my life so much that once when somebody asked me how long I had been married; I answered:

'Its been more than 3 quarters now!'

Just like a Woman!!!!!!!

don't wanna be a part of ur rat-race
don't wanna earn a buck
get the fuck out of my face
u couldn't make the choice-tough luck

don't wanna earn no fame
don't wanna compete with Trump
u go play ur dirty game
just let me be a lazy bum

am happy doing nothing
let me get away from ur trash
no love, fling's my thing
let me get emotionally bashed

i'm gonna die early anyway
why should i bother bout makin ppl proud
lemme just live everyday
lemme shout my words out loud

i walked on glass
i jumped over barbed wire
i made a pass
i still feel my soul's on fire

u tried to break me
hell knows u tried too hard
tonight i decide my destiny
tonight i end the charade

u called me a woman
and said i wasn't giving
go philosophize bout life and love
i'm too busy living!!!

I'm on the outside..

And you, bring me to my knees again
All the times that I could beg you please, in vain
All the times that I've felt insecure for you
And I leave my burdens at the door

But I'm on the outside and I'm looking in
I can see through you, see your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly, you're ugly like me
I can see through you, see to the real you

All the times, that I felt like this won't end
It's for you
And I taste what I could never have
It was from you
All the times that I've cried
My intentions were full of pride
But I waste more time than anyone

All the times that I've cried
All this wasted, it's all inside
And I feel all this pain
I stuffed it down, it's back again

And I lie here in bed
All alone, I can't mend
But I feel, tomorrow will be okay

BBC, here I come

Ok, I'm not really joining BBC. Wish I was though, but I'm going to be a part of their live talk show in Hyderabad tonight. Am excited and a little nervous too. Should be fun though. It is a part of their 'India Rising' series and is going to be on air tonight 11:30-12:30!
