All Indian would have watched this Blockbuster "Jab We Met"... Really lovely movie... Loved Geet's character in that... The carefree, happy go lucky girl who would just follow her heart... In that do you remember she says .. "I am my favorite..." This is just simple statement but it stuck in my subconscious mind ...
I realized the importance of this statement in my current job where I have travel to some alien country every now and then.. And then there are some countries in which I am all alone with no one to talk to (I mean as a friend). I have to go for breakfast, lunch and dinner all alone.. This is a disaster in IT world where all the software engineer wait for lunch break and tea break to gossip and unwind .. But then I have no options.. I have to go all alone everywhere ... Thats when I started realizing the importance of my own company.. Being just with myself, reading a book, listening to music while sipping a coffee or going for lunch... Lost in my own thoughts thinking about how to resolve my next software issue or what should be my next blog topic or what should I write as my FB status message or just about anything under the sun...
And I was happy just being like that.. Now I do not miss anyone's company.. and I do not complain if I have to go alone to eat... It is a nice feeling just to know that I can enjoy my own company.. A feeling I thought I never had before... I do not have to seek out anyone's company or feel conscious when I am only person sitting at the table in a restaurant...
This is not some kind of enlightenment.. But this was the time when I realized "I am my favorite.." ... :)
When did you all feel that way??
