As the definition goes habit is something you acquire over a long period of time....by possibly doing the same thing again and again. And everybody have their own habits...some good and some bad. I too developed my habits while growing up...some good and some bad. Slowly I realised that given we were shifting places with dad getting transferred and later me shifting places at work etc etc some habits get dropped off. And you acquire some new habits. Even I did.... And its very interesting to note when this happens!!!

About three months back we moved to Mumbai and later to Thane as a part of our job. During the period when we were in the process of figuring out where to stay, how we will travel etc. Convinced that this was the best bet we signed the papers and moved in. With every passing day our travel routine evolved....what time to leave the house, which bus to board, which train to catch, where to stand etc.

And the whole sequence has become a habit now...in not even 45 days....I'm amazed..... So much so that even if one part of the sequence doesn't go according to plan I get frustrated...
