The week that was...


So, the days that went by were fun… Had a dream vacation in Singapore, a blissful trip.. Came bag happy, with loads of goodies.
Getting back to the routine was difficult, the first day of work especially, had to literally push myself out of bed. See thats what holiday does to you..sigh!
Then I wrote a Thank You message to a friend who helped me by telling me about what to buy and where to buy in Singapore. Protocols need to be followed you see… Am sure, you are cursing me for this line..but, I mean it.. :)
Now, settled in the normal routine again, and dreaming of the next vacation destination ;)
My cousin had a baby girl too..so there are now two Dolls in my house, and my son has suddenly acquired the status of ‘elder brother’, and he is very attached to my sister’s kid, he is very protective about her, of course, the stage of complaints will follow soon, when the lil one grows up, and starts taking his toys and things, that will be a nice phase…actually a fun phase, to see a boy and girl fighting and complaining.. :)
Spoke to another friend yesterday, after a long time, got to know she is Pregnant with the second child. Felt happy for her, it will be quite amusing to see her handling two children, a demanding husband, and running a house…eagerly,looking forward to that situation.
With so many good things happening around me, I am of course happy and excited. Plus, Diwali is around the corner, thats the only festival I look forward to every year, lighting diyas and candles, decorating the house with streams of lights… Wearing new clothes, obviously!!
Till next time…Ciao!!!

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, ...

Blah blahs....

For the last few days, I open my blog, view it, read my friends posts and then sign out... There are so many thoughts crossing my mind, everyday, but am unable to pin it down. For example, this morning, in the Delhi metro, nobody offered their seat to an old woman, she even requested one young girl to get up, as she wasn't feeling too well, but the dame refused. Two minutes later, the old woman had a dizzy spell and fell, I couldn't help asking that dame, how would she have felt if her mother went through a similar situation? She obviously didn't have an answer, but that set me into a thinking mode, not to forget that I was totally upset with such a start to the day. But, come to think of it, what is happening to our society? What happened to values? Respect..Kindness...Compassion... Have people forgotten these words? What are we passing on to our children? Everyday, I get bogged down by such thoughts, because, even if I stick to my guns, and pass on the so called ...

Puppy Love!

All along I have been anti dogs, not a 'hater' particularly, but somehow couldn't imagine myself living with a pet, who couldn't be caged, or swim in a tank. As a child, I probably did express my desire to have a pup to my Mum, who told me that I would have to leave school, stop playing or going out for vacations, as she wasn't prepared to take care. I thought then, 'how mean?!'. Ofcourse, when I was in my teens, I finally realized that yeah probably my Mum was right, what she meant was that it was too much of a hassle and a big responsibility. And I was happy that we didn't have one, since I was very happy with the way my teenage was going on. Laughing, bunking, playing pranks, secret crushes, gossips...You know how all this is a 'BIG DEAL' for a teenage girl!! And in the middle of all this I became an anti dog person. Well, life happened later, which is another story, not to be talked about on this post.  I got married. Had a baby. In that...
