Home is where the heart is...

So, the site surveyor came today, from the packing company, which is responsible for our re-location.

He surveyed the house, made a list of things that need to packed, while he was doing that, I went through a plethora of emotions. About 3 years and 11 months ago, we moved into this villa. The villa that became my identity of sorts, the villa that became my 'home'. Witnessed the foundation, the first pillar, the roof, the frame of the window, we spent six months in deciding the decor, everything had to be coordinated.

Designed the interiors myself, I really do take pride in it, I just went about with my instincts and yes I do have a decent taste for stuff, and an eye for detail, and NO I won't be modest about it. Different people had different view, some said the living room could have been bigger, square etc..., but as it's said to each their own. I didn't bother about opinions, for me my home was my dream come true. After the surveyor left, I was quite emotional, I walked up the stairs, touching the walls, re-living the days when we went through the color catalogue, the textures, the light fittings, the fabric and the upholstery on the couch, the computer table, the wardrobe space...Ohh!!! It was overwhelming. As I sat there on the floor, misty eyed, I made a promise to myself, that no matter what, I will definitely come back to this house, which is my HOME, my abode.

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, ...

Clouded..

What do you do on days you feel rejected? Judged? Dismissed as someone who is not worthy of any responsibility........ The answers are the same, stay motivated, don't let it bog you down, turn your attention towards something else.......... All said and done, when you are hurt, you are hurt, there is nothing that can distract you from that feeling, you are bound to feel sad, angry, upset.. True, that you cannot sit and mope for days together and eventually, you do move on after that incident, but for that moment, nothing takes your attention away from the miserable feeling....

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...
