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… :)

Between then and now...

My last post was on 16th March 2015, and I haven't visited this space since then... Lot of things happened between then and now.. March 25th 2015, we finally got the possession of the villa, we had been rooting for. The previous owner was a complete jerk, he put us through an ordeal. But as they say, when you really want something, the universe conspires to get it for you. I desired that house, which is now my beautiful home. Even before, we signed the papers, I had visualized the decor of this house...my house, my home! I was happy with my previous villa too, it was enough for the 4 of us, but, hey, dreams are not in your control, fulfilling them definitely is. My husband made it happen. He just went after the guy to get this for us. The whole of April and May was spent in doing up the house. The woodwork, the furniture, drapes etc... Everything had to be coordinated. Though am still not happy with the colour of the curtains.. Looking around to find the right one. Then came t

short story..

Rohan checked his reflection in the mirror, clean shaven he was a dapper tonight, he smiled. His thoughts were interrupted by the sales lady, "Sir, your item is ready, it will be 25000/. Would you be paying by cash or card?" "Card", he said. He collected his packet and got into his car, waiting at the signal, he glided his hand on the velvet case. "She is gonna love it", he said it aloud in the privacy of his sedan.  He was dying to be in her arms tonight, and hear those magical words. He laughed, for thinking like a teenager. Nisha's intercom beeped, the guard informed her of Rohan's arrival. she checked herself for one last time in the mirror, sprayed her chanel, and went to the door. Rohan walked in with a bunch of flowers, and gave her the velvet box. A beautiful diamond studded pendant with a gold chain. She blushed, as he offered to string it around her neck, his hand brushed her bare shoulders, she shivered. She looked in his eyes, as he car

2013 it will be..

I was having my coffee in the morning as usual, when I saw the caption 'time flies'. That set me thinking. Checked the date, and couldn't believe that there were just 5 days left for 2012 to end. Phew!  Well, it's cliched, because every year, I say the same thing. I desperately wanted 2011, to end slowly, as the arrival of 2012 meant that I would have to leave Bangalore, but obviously, we do not have control over time. So 2012 came, I moved, and I am still settling in so to say, and now it's time to welcome another year. Thank God for surviving one more year. This is one prayer that I always say every year. New Year, new beginnings, so I guess I have to wait and watch what 2013 has in store for me. In the meanwhile, I will draw up my list of resolutions - that is a ritual, and I love to do it every year. I do not stick to the list, so this time, losing weight is definitely NOT there, though I still have to work on my water intake. I am worse than a camel when it com
