I guess I still am a comparatively new blogger as in once I got into the aspect of blogging, I was really hooked! But with so many things happening in my life right now, I haven’t had enough time to build my blog into something creative, something to be really proud of, something that people would want to read.. YOu know what I mean, right..?
Anyway, as I was browsing I came across this particular site http://www.problogger.net/31-days-to-building-a-better-blog/ – 31 DAYS TO BUILDING A BETTER BLOG. It is really good. I think all you beginner bloggers got to give it a read at least once. It really helps!
There are some stuff that I too have incorporated to make my blog a “better place” .. but I am still in the process of learning only.. So I have a long way to go ..
I hope this link helps you.

Musings September 9, 2008

Why can I not find happiness in myself? Why do I feel as though I’m withering away? Why is it that I’m turning into someone I myself do not recognize anymore? Why is it that even though I have every reason to be happy, I still yearn for more and bring about unhappiness unto myself? Why do I have to want more? Why can I just accept things as they are? Why do I want change? Why do I want excitement? Why am I not taking care of myself anymore? Why am I not even interested in grooming up and going out shopping, interacting with people? Why have I become such a grouch? How did I become this grumpy and whining? Why do I feel as though my life is slipping away from my hands? Why do I feel as though I have no way out and that others are marking my way for me? Why cant I just be left alone and not be forced to do what I don’t want to? Why cant I just have what I want?!!!
I see others smiling and I think whats stopping me from smiling myself? I see others having fun and getting things done the way they want it to be done and I wonder whats stopping me from having the same work for me?
Why do I have to want to please others? Its my life and I ought to live it the way I want to. Why do I have to spend my time trying to keep everyone around me happy and ending up with nothing left for myself.. even these “other” people’ happiness!

“Theobroma Cacao” –> Now, seeing the word cacao you must be wondering it means cocoa.. But the meaning of this word translates to –> The Food Of The Gods!!!!
And well, I think these stuff are SO yummy, SO delicious, SO scrumpilicious that they must have been the food of the Gods itself!!!

The creaminess, the high quality ingredients and the hazelnut content (13%) makes Nutella one of the most famous bread spreads (It is from the Italian company Ferrero.)
Galaxy .. “Gives you a share of country goodness”!!!
KFC – Zinger burger
Shawarma
Sausages/ Chicken Franks/ Fish Fingers/ Meat balls/ Chicken Nuggets
Hot Dog
Bacardi Cranberry Breezer has a rich flavour tasting like normal cranberry juice except with the added Rum Bacardi. It’s not alcoholic and you are not going to get drunk by drinking this!!! 🙂 It is a ladies drink!
Mixed Fried Rice (Non-Veg) It remains one of my favorites ever! Mainly because it contains vegetables, along with prawns, egg, chicken, and meat!! 🙂 A Wholesome meal 🙂

It has now been a year and a half since I graduated. I did my post graduation at a really nice college and in a really interesting booming (In India, just coming up) field.
But, even now, I still have not got a job. Im still unoccupied. I have been searching high and low…have been spreading the news of my joblessness by word of mouth thinking that maybe smebody somewhere might know someone who might know of a vacancy at their workplace. But to no avail.
In this area, God has completely left me alone..with absolutely no luck..and now, no hope left.
I feel so down just thinking of it. Near and dear have begun thinking that I do not want to work..that I do not long to be a career woman..that I am not searching hard enough. It hurts me so much when I hear undertones of this kind in the way people talk to me these days.. People have begun thinking I am just not capable..that maybe I am not good enough for a job!! Do you.. or anybody out there know how really bad it hurts right in the heart when you get that feeling?!!!! It hurts Real bad… Really really bad!!!
Nobody knows how desperate I am feeling. They don’t know that I have had enough and that I have lost all my positive thoughts.. my hopes.. my dreams.. everything!!! There is only this dull yearning in my heart that I wish I could get a job.. But, I feel everyone has deserted me in this area..
It really is very upsetting. Others would not be able to understand what I am going through.. the feelings that are running in my mind. I used to be confident and positive. But now, I have lost my very sense of self-worth even! What is the use of saying, ” Don’t worry. You will get a good job..” ? It doesn’t help. These are just words. I am not going to get a job with them.
I don’t think I any longer possess the self-confidence that I once had. Maybe even now, it might emerge and all of my basic characteristics are just cowering.. But, when..? Am I always going to be a home-maker? I don’t mean that to be a demeaning job. It is good. It takes up the whole day and there is a lot to do. But mostly it is that job without which life itself doesn’t run smoothly for everyone else!!!
But that is not what I studied all these years with a lot of hard work for! That is not why I followed my dreams, drawing my own path and reaching out to get what I aimed for!!! This is just not how I thought things would turn out..
In every other area, I can say I am blessed.. that I am happy.. but my career.. my job.. my work.. that is a subject whose mention can change my mood.. can upset me.. can stop all my talking..
I feel I have become a very boring person. I feel that none would be interested in talking to me now.. coz’ they would be bored with what I would have to say.. I am married and I cook and try to make the house a home for my husband. What is there to talk so much about that?! Nothing!!! Nothing at all!!! 😦
I have even lost touch with my hobbies and sit in front of the computer all day long doing this or that or rather nothing much!!!
I yearn for a job in my field of expertise. I yearn to earn a salary every month. I yearn to go out into the world and show everybody how able I am!
