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, ...

Everyone has a story..

-The woman who was wearing a bright lipstick in the hospital. You thought was too loud a make up for a hospital! She just heard the news of a terminal disease few days back. The lipstick helped her cheer up. Think before you judge. -The man you noticed bingeing on sweets, and thought to yourself , if he should have. He was off sweets and good things to bring down his weight and diabetes, for almost a year. This was just a cheat day which made him feel rewarded. Don’t judge. -The girl in the mall with a very heavy eye makeup, fake lashes, coloured shadow, whom you thought was over dressed, has been crying continuously since few days over her broken heart and relationships. The make up was probably to cover her tired eyes from the world. Don’t mock. -The child in the coffee shop who is dropping chocolate sauce on his clothes while the mother is on her phone. The mother is probably wanting a break from doing that chore all day 24/7. Don’t bad mouth her. -The woman you just labell...

The pressure of celebration..

One of the usual mornings, where after packing off everyone, changed into my exercise gear and stepped out for the usual few rounds of cycling. Early morning chill was now taken over by the warmth of the sun, which gave me my dose of Vit D (much needed, my levels are alarmingly low). Finished my rounds, and caught up with my friends who were out for their morning walk. We parked ourselves in our layout under the sun chatting away. Today the topic was "what plans for 31st"? When one of the girls spoke very sadly, that all her friends have plans of taking a vacation/going for an NYE event/dinner and drinks at someone's place/drinking and going crazy at a pub, while she was "just going to be home". She was all the more upset, that while her friends would be going crazy posting pics all over social media, she would not have anything 'interesting' to share, and it would be embarrassing. I walked back with my head full of thoughts, precisely why the blo...
