The Upside

You know, I have learnt that there is an upside to everything, provided you are ready to look for it (and not be stubborn!). I have always been the one to count my blessings ... but sometimes I can even make the most out of the curses ;)

Upside to having zero bank balance:
You finally stop making lists of things you want and start enjoying the ones you already have. Also, it gets your creative juices flowing...

Upside of being disliked by a lot of people:
You don't have to try and impress that many of them. These are exactly the people in front of whom you can be your true-self! [Yeh! Give it to them ;)]

Upside of not having any friends close by:
You are never a part of any gossip or scandal [I really do not like drama!]

Upside of being an egoist:
You never talk ill about anyone! [You are so busy talking about yourself]

Upside of ALL of the above: 
L.I.B.E.R.A.T.I.O.N. 

I look like crap in the pictures below, 
'coz these were taken at 8pm and I was dead tired!

    I second Angie and the yellow necklace is something I would've never thought of, I never thought of the upside of having no money you do come up with very unique ideas, have a happy weekend :)

    I really think this is a very cool look, I esp dig the shoes! And I think I actually *shamelessly* agree on the friends part there. I think distance enables u to share what is most important and valuable as opposed to daily gossip, which means nothing!

    Like the yellow necklace and of course the red pants. So, generally, I really like the way your pants fit. As a rule of thumb, where do you get your trousers/pants from? Do you have any "rules" that you follow in order to find a good pair?

    Love those shoes!! And if that is crap, the I want to be crappy ;p The upside theory about zero balance is so true..After the crying and bawling comes the sense of serenity and you look at your wardrobe in a new light and try mix n matching it and all feels right with the world :)

    I love all your "upsides". The upside of you thinking you look like crap in these pictures is that to all of us, you look like your normal gorgeous self! I love all the colors in this outfit--namely the shoes! I feel ya. I have been uber stressed and busy and just irritated in general lately and have had to try to find the positive things in my life to be grateful for. I will if you will ;-)

    I really really love this post. I especially love the "not being close to friends" part, strictly because that was my situation this past year. It was liberating to not be in the middle of any drama, and to meet a whole new group of people.

    Have a great day!

  43. JackJuly 8, 2011 at 12:34 PM

    Tanvi,

    Too many pending posts but caught up. How is the NO SHOPPING resolve going on? And NO SUGAR one? Keep it up. Anyone who speaks wisely is termed Too Mature For Age. In this one you look contended and not at all what you think. I had navigated to your post of July last year and agree with you on most of the points.

    Take care

  44. AnonymousJuly 8, 2011 at 12:46 PM

    I love love love all of your upside list!!! I agree about not having many friends - you stay away from the drama!!!

    p.s. why do you think you look like crap? I think this is one of my favorite outfits of you. The pants are amazing and the shoes are FABULOUS!! And I love how you added the yellow necklace to give it a pop of color!!!

    This list is fantastic!! There is a plus to everything, especially the things on your list. With some recent events, I probably won't be liked by a few people who used to like me (or pretend to), and I am PERFECTLY ok with that!

    I adore your red pants and yellow necklace. You look very lovely, even at 8:00 and being tired.

    Nice writing tanvi. I am miles away from anything close to writing but admire people who write well. I agree with everything you mentioned. You can't have everything, can't please everybody and can't be happy all the time. That's how life seems normal.
    You look natural not crap. coming to the outfit I like colored pants too. But me thinks the pants are not rightly fitted (read crotch area).so it looks a little odd. Shoes are fab. Nice post

    I have a bunch of sarcastic/silly comments I want to make, but I will refrain. Cuz I am in a joking mood, and if I write them, they won't have the same tone in them, and perhaps be misinterpreted. ;)
