I Love...


1. The smell of the earth..when it rains…
2. The smell of old books….
3. The smell of freshly washed clothes from the machine…
4. The pleasant evenings, before the arrival of Spring…
5. A message or a call from an old friend, when I am least expecting it, just to say that they “thought” about me,…
6. Love the look on my partner’s face, when he is amused by something I have done or said but doesn’t want to show it.
7. When I whisper “I love You” in my son’s ears while he is sleeping, and he replies, “I know”
8.When my cousin and I share the nostalgic moments from our growing up years…
9. When a fellow Mother looks up and gives a ‘been there experienced that’ smile in a mall, when my brat is showing off his tantrum throwing skills…
10. Sitting in a Coffee Shop and looking at the people walking in with varied moods and expressions…
11. Getting transported to a different world while listening to some song…
12. Smiling at old photographs…
13. Having my coffee in the quiet hilly surroundings, while on a holiday…
14. Solitary walks…
15. The feeling of content, when I get to know that I was the reason for someone’s smile…
16. Leisure baths…
17. When an old friend says, “Please, I know you too well”…
18. When I am able to laugh at myself…
19. Getting surprise gifts…
20. The smell in the air, in the month of November, before the onset of chilly winters in Delhi…
21. My growing up years in KB…
22.  The smell of freshly brewed coffee…
23. When I am told I can’t, and the shocked look on the person’s face when I prove them wrong…
24. The very often used movies and popcorn combo…
25. Putting my feet up, digging into my comfort food of Bread and soupy veggies, and watching a fav movie on dvd, alone…
Ahh!! Many more to list… this is enough as of now… :)

Take it easy policy...

A friend walked in, to have coffee, her house also is empty by 8 and so is mine. So sometimes, we catch up for our lil tete-a-tete over coffee. Talking about coffee, I have turned the American way, I now prefer black coffee to white. Well, the first cuppa is with milk. Her Mum is an amazing baker, she had sent homemade peanut butter cookies. So, my neighbour was generous enough to get some for me. I made the famous South Indian filter coffee, and we plonked ourselves on the couch. She seemed a lil disturbed, so after a lot of prodding, she finally asked me if I thought she was obsessive about being perfect. So I instantly said Yes! And she was shocked, she said how could I have known that about her, as I have known her only for few months. So I laughingly pointed out at certain incidents and told her that I have a penchant for observing people and their mannerisms, and I can't help it. We laughed, then she asked, but what's wrong in doing things perfectly? I told her nothing, ...

NO (WO)MAN NO CRY..

So, the weekend's agenda was 'meet the inlaws' - my inlaws. And like many women, inspite of being married for a long time, the 'inlaw' factor still stirs a lot of mixed emotions, though I have learnt my way out and in of nagging situations, my heart continues to beat faster. Anyway, there were lot of children, as it was my nephew's birthday party. The kids were playing, shouting, running, jumping, fighting - exactly in that order. My son. all of 8 is a little sensitive, he hasn't  learnt yet to deal with violent or hyper energetic kids. He kept requesting a kid of his age to stop kicking him, but the other one didn't listen, and as it's famously said, "Survival of the fittest", my son finally kicked back, and blocked him using his karate moves,(at last the technique was put to use)! The fight actually increased, as the other kid now charged with all his might. By the time the elders stopped the fight, that kid had hurt my son, I was ch...

I do not give up on people, I never do. Sadly, they give up on me.  I guess I am someone who can be just dismissed. _________________________________________________________ People who express themselves aren't attention seekers. When you don't like someone's updates, why don't you just block them? If you don't want to block, use the option of 'hide from news feed', but stop judging. __________________________________________________________ I trusted people and shared everything, only for them to point fingers at me later. I don't influence others to behave in a particular manner with the people I don't get along. It just hurts when they take a decision on their own, and later very easily throw it on my face. What did I do? ___________________________________________________________ I realized, that when someone cries, the world sympathises and accepts him/her as sensitive. When someone braves everything quietly, gets labelled as ...
