Holi Again!!


Was like a usual day, and was engrossed in my work suddenly when I was attacked from behind with "happy holi"! oops within the next few seconds I had all colors on my face,dress and desk too! There was no point in washing face and getting cleaned as someone or the other would come every now and then....next I decided,why should Shruthi and Sneha be so clean and tidy!!it was my turn going around and putting colors on everyone now! Was happy to see everyone taking this on a lighter note and enjoying! An unexpected pleasant HoLi it was !!

"Destiny"

It is said,"co-incidence decides whom u meet in life,ur heart decides with whom u want to stay in life,but only destiny decides who gets to stay in ur life"!I believe this or not is a diff story!What I am thinking at this point of time is,why do people always relate destiny to "fate","something bad","something they dont want but cant avoid" likewise in negative path.The dictionary meaning of destiny says:
(n.) That to which any person or thing is destined; predetermined state; condition foreordained by the Divine or by human will; fate; lot; doom.
(n.) The fixed order of things; invincible necessity; fate; a resistless power or agency conceived of as determining the future, whether in general or of an individual
Also synonyms to destiny include :Fate, Fortune, Lot, Luck, Portion!

I have never heard anybody saying "I was destined for this" when something great happens to them!
Another exciting thing is "destiny" is a popular female name!please see

This is the second link I came across in less than 3 hours today when we were browsing for the popularity of our names and got this:

(sorry for deviating from the topic....old habits die hard ;) )

so where were we....yeah destiny,so I was wondering today why people relate "destiny" with such a negative understanding to "supposed to be" the "sweetest" moment of ones life - MARRIAGE !!
