On Saturday I banged into a glass door. In my own house. Thud. Ouch.
After the stars floating around my head dropped down, and I passed the 'Main kaun hoon? Main kahan hoon?' test, I made a list.
Lessons of life I learnt from the incident:
1. You don't know your own place as well as you think you do.
2. Sometimes you can see what's beyond, but you can't see what's right in front of you.
3. Never laugh at someone over something that can very well happen to you.
And here's the most important one...
4. Sometimes things are so clear you don't see anything.

OMG, this happened to me other day in front of like 20 people. I didn't fall on the floor, just hurt my nose and forehead. I loved the last sentence.
#ROS,
Hahahaha! Ladies and gentlemen, there's a female Virdi in the house! :D
ps: Thanks girl, the smiles you send will go a long way (quite literally)! :)
#Abhi,
Arre tujhpar toh saare medal qurbaan! Jo chahiye, jiske galey se chahiye, chheen ke le ja! Paperwork hum sambhaal lenge! :D
ps: Yeah, I'm ok now, the second head growin' outta my forehead has subsided now! :)
#Thanu,
Hey, thanks!
20 pple?? Whoa! Hahahaha! :D
I only had one very shocked flatmate lookin' at me and wondering what the hell just happened! :O
been there, done that - in a shopping mall! i was looking somewhere else!
btw, u saw stars or little birdies... birdies sound much better! ;)
#Oxy,
You think?? :D
I can imagine, Sayesha raises one hand painfully (the other hand is on the throbbing bump that used to be her head) and says, "Hi, excuse me, can I have birdies around my head intead? They sound much better, you see!" :D
You broke my resolution to be a silent spectator here... Just Beautiful.
Sometimes things are so clear you don't see anything Couldn't agree more.
Bhole
I agree, especially with points 2 (hypermetropia of life?) and 4 :)
"Sometimes things are so clear you don't see anything"
Crystal .. Sayesha .. Crystal!! ;-)
Never laugh at someone over something that can very well happen to you

#Ms. V!
Hey hey, welcome to Sayeshaz! Didn't realise you'd been here all this while! Though I wonder what the resolution was for! :)
#Bhole,
Yupp... pain teaches you lessons of life, eh? ;)
#Viv,
'Hypermetropia of life'... Hey I like that! :)
#Jay,
Chill, Jay, chill! Itna excited kyun baba? :)
#Parth,
I'm unable to view it on my mac, will check it out at home tonight. But the warning on the website tells me it won't be a pretty sight! :O
#Pradyot,
//shouldn't it be 'them'
Nope.
I wrote what I meant to write.
Sometimes things are so clear you don't see anything.
:)
Profound!
:-)
Well said Sayesha.
(btw, I love calling out your entire name, because it is really a beautiful name :-) What does it mean? Or should we keep this topic for a separate blog? :-)
happened to me too..but in front of many ppl..donno how many.. but a lot :( ...mebbe u were on of those who silently laughed at me.. ;)
man..these glass doors should have atleast 2 red strips top & bottom and not the small red dot in the centre.
Happened to me at wrk some years back. Jst saved my left eye by a cpl of inches.
Neways wish u a speedy recovery.
PS: will send u my mail ID for the songs l8er.

#Harshi,
Sayesha means 'princess of hearts'/'attained by great desire'.
It is a beautiful name, isn't it? I just wish it really was mine. Sigh... But at least on this blog, it is! :)
ps: And no, I did not pick the nick 'cos of what it means. Found out the meaning only last year, but the nick has been with me for about 7 years now.
pps: Maybe it does deserve a blog post! :P
#Spammy,
Were you one of the juniors I ragged in uni? The feeling that I know you in person is getting stronger and stronger! :O
ps: And yes, those doors at the malls are dangerous, man. A friend was telling me about a door at this mall into which many people literally crashed, trying to escape the rain, sending splinters flying! Oh my goodness! :O
#TC,
Thanks man. I'm all right now. It was more 'utter shock' than anything else. :)
Wow .. U always come out with "eye openers" Stuff...!!!
Wow....that's a beautiful meaning.
Love the name. Has a soft, dreamy, poetic touch to it. Perhaps it was the name of a Princess, who knows :-) Princess Sayesha. Sounds perfect :-)!
Hi
I did the same thing last year when i was in Sri Lanka, while enteringa shopping complex....everyone around me laughed.....
good one man....
TC
Praksh

3. Never laugh at someone over something that can very well happen to you.
Even though you didn't describe how you banged into the glass door - I've already pictured it in my mind. And I had to laugh first before I was concerned about the second head growing out of your forehead. Hope the swelling has gone down. And if this ever happens to me, i'll know whose bad-duah i got.
Did I ever tell u I love your insightful thoughts. Like how you came up with points 2 and 4 with such an incident happening to you is quite brilliant.
ps Why am I complimenting you? Have I banged into a glass wall or you? Or perhaps I'm making up for no longer even being CLOSE to be the first to comment on your blog.
...or maybe I just appreciate intelligence when I see it...
2. Sometimes you can see what's beyond, but you can't see what's right in front of you.
cudnt agree more girl...
u've put it beautifully..
:))
..p..
// but the nick has been with me for about 7 years now.
whaaaat...i thought it was ur name o:o
//Were you one of the juniors I ragged in uni? The feeling that I know you in person is getting stronger and stronger! :O
:)
#L,
//Wow .. U always come out with "eye openers" Stuff...!!!
Thanks! This time it was more 'head-banging' stuff I think. :P
#Harshi,
Yeah I totally love the name too! You know what? If I meet any other Sayesha, I will have no choice but to kill her.
#Prakash,
Hey Prakash, hiii! Hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly!
//BTW i did blogrolled you...sometime back...so hope u dont mind
No, I don't mind. It's an honour :)
#Dumb die hen punjabi,
Ewwwwww! You had to go check???
#Nutty,
Whoa! Newton! That's so cool, why didn't I think of that! Need to ram into a glass door again!
#Rinku,
Hey, I was wondering where you were! Thanks! :)
#Sahil,
May I just say - PHEW! What a relief that you're still around. Humne toh socha tha aap Sayesha's world se hamesha ke liye chale gaye.
I know some people at Sayeshaz like to sip their drinks in silence in the background, lekin aap toh hamaare blog ke puraane diljale ho, kabhi kabhi aawaaz de diya karo, pata toh chale aap ho yahan.
//And I had to laugh first before I was concerned about the second head growing out of your forehead.
Thanks a lot man. Now you're talkin' like Sahil.
//Why am I complimenting you?
Exactly. Why?
//Have I banged into a glass wall or you?
I am not a glass wall. I am a paththar dil stone wall. Hahahaha! :D
(Oh God, Virdi, tuney mere orange juice mein kya mila diya??)
//...or maybe I just appreciate intelligence when I see it...
Aaj duniya hil gayi, Sahil ke muh se itni sari tareef?? Uffff!!!
#Priya,
Thanks, girl :)
#Humjoli,
I'm disappointed that Sayesha is not my real name. But here on the blog, it is. So I'm happy :)
#Spammy,
If you were my junior in uni, you'd have known my name. So there.
ps: But why do I still feel like I know you?! Damn!
#Dear people,
I love the name Sayesha. I am SO Sayesha. My blog is the only way I can be Sayesha. Please let me be Sayesha. Don't break my heart by reminding me or mourning the fact that my name is not Sayesha.
Can you guys imagine me as anyone but Sayesha?? I can't.
/* Sometimes things are so clear you don't see anything */
Fundoo ad tagline ! for a glass firm..maybe AIS or some such firm could make an ad out of it..
:)
PS:cant imagine retakes for the girl who's indulging in the banging !
:)

Hahaha! Yeah, I'll be the model for the ad! One take - perfect shot! ;)
//I think I should just shut up..
Kini darling, sometimes you can see what's beyond, but you can't see what's right in front of you. So stop grinning, you don't know what you think you know.
#Puneet,
Thanks man! :)
#Spammy,
Soulmates?? Hahahaha! I have seven, you know! And so far, I have only identified one (no, it's not you). Anyway, an ex-MAC can't be my soulmate! ;)

"Sometimes things are so clear you don't see anything"

Sayesha,
I'm always around here reading your blog. But I can't always steal the limelight can I? Sometimes its just fun to sit back and enjoy the show. Like you said, hum puraane diljale hai - so I'm not going anywhere ma dear.
"sometimes things are so clear, you don't see anyfink"...i ignored sahil for so long...teased him, taunted him...lil did i know then it was the first stirrings of an eternal flame.

#Virdi,
