Hey Friends,

Bet U all, who know me well enough, must be surely, thrilled to see this DP Heading of mine…………….! A little insight into that Notty, Full of Energy, Cattie’s Life ?????????

Well, my reason of writing the same, is not to disclose my Twenties to You. Its just that I find that My Twenties are so much different from the Twenties Youth Generation we have today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I wonder what brought about this Drastic Change??????????? Is it the TV or The World’s Addict, Internet ?????????. Must be a combo of the two, I guess!

Just imagine, if I am so Full of Energy Today, what I must have been in my Twenties!! It was just after College and the main thing for a girl to do is ‘Dress Up’ and ‘Enjoy the Guy’s Attention’ !! Well, I did have more than enough to handle guys trying their luck to date me……..!

But I always did go in My Groups, guys and gals mixed, that way, U r safer, I felt. I remember those years, I was very much close to my Gal Friends…I cud not do without them. My Best Friends, Veena, Swati and Banu. They were so close to me…………I cud not live without them.

Veena my College Friend, full of mischief, I learnt it from her, how to Joke and Pull Legs. Then came Swati, my Business Friend. She put into me the idea of ‘We Girls Can Do Business’. And we started a quack Recruitment Company. She used to Bubble with Ideas. That’s what I learnt from her. How to think and work towards Goals. We printed our Cards and used to travel to companies and meet the HRD Managers and get orders for their new Recruitment Staff. And ‘Who cud refuse, two pretty little girls, battering their eye-lids’ ?? He! He ! It was fun. We made so much money on recruitments. And guess what we did with the ‘Minute’ we got our money?? We went straight to Bandra Linking Rd and ‘BLEW IT’. Wow! What Fun that was!

Then I started my first job. Totally nervous and scared in a C.A. Firm. I regret at that time for going in for a job and not doing my C.A. like the Articles and CA Partners, I worked with. I was given the Computer Division to handle and then the Recruitment Division. I was the ‘Darling of the Office’, with all the CA’s and Articles forever pulling my leg and making me laugh. Here’s where I learnt to Enjoy Life. My Boss, was a very nice man and very Protective (like an uncle) about me and I was his pet. So no one dared act ‘Fresh’ with me. Here I met my Friend Banu. A Sindhi, she was just too Bindaas. She wud drag me with her everywhere and dress me up and made me mix up with Society, mostly her guys..(who I hated). But we both became very close and wud be seen together everywhere. She was like this Guy and I was her Gal !!!!!! Then sadly one day, she discovered her fav guy, was trying to woo me and there was a nasty fight, all 3 of us and, I just quit.

That incident made me very bitter and I vowed never to make a ‘Girlfriend ‘ again. I must have cried for months………..till I got over her. And I ‘MOVED ON’……………..

Career then became very important to me. And I loved my new job. Then came tons of problems in my life, which left me bitter. But I really thank GOD, for giving me the Strength to endure all those horrible painful days!!!!!!!!! I was so weak and timid and so dependant and scared. Then came Marriage and I thought ‘Hey Wow!, Now my Life Starts!’. Here I learnt how horrible In-Laws cud be !!

So these were my days and my experiences………! Now I have learnt one thing from My Best Pal. I learnt that ‘We Cud Find Our BEST FRIENDS in the Opposite Sex only’. And that need not always be ur spouse!! Don’t mistake me, but life was too bitter and GOD gave a shoulder to cry on. This is where I learnt how to Compromise with Life and Accept it as a Pill with Sugar Coating. This is where my Friend taught me that ‘Sulking and Self Pity’ is of no use. People will Tread on you more when they know you are weak. This is where I realized that I need to have my own Personal Life, Enjoy Life, Be Happy, Be Cautious and most of all Trust in GOD and be Strong. I learnt to Love and Be Happy (irrespective of what my real life is!).

This is where I am now. A new Personality. A female called CATTIE. A new Entity. This is where I joined the Net, first IBIBO which was a Horror! Then I Discovered Mouthshut and I joined. Since then, this is my Biggest Hobby, My Talent Expression Platform. I discovered that I cud write, I cud write real nice and my Friends appreciated me. MS also appreciated me. I Love this World.

This is where I learned to go into a Fantasy World…………..to express my Feelings, my Thoughts, My Experiences. This is where I learnt to ‘Divert My Mind from Stress and Pain’. A VIRTUAL WORLD, Good Hearted Friends and So much of Support and Appreciation.

THIS IS WHERE CATTIE FEELS GOOD!

THE ONLY CAT ON MS

Cattie hehehehehehehehehehehehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smile Always.
