That time of the year...AGAIN!!!

So, 2013 is here. New Year is a time for changes, of changes..something new, somethings not so new.

I gave a 'new' look to my blog layout. I look at every new year as an opportunity to change something, or start something new. No big deal about it, it's as nonsensical a thought as my nonsensical blogs are ;).

And, my favourite activity is making resolutions, oh! I love it, don't ask me why, I just love making and breaking resolutions. I am ready with my resolutions for 2013, albeit a lil late, but it's there.

This year I decided not to add weight loss to my list, because, its pointless. I start with a lot of vigour and all it takes is a Belgian chocolate shake, or some rich dark choco pastry or after 8's to lose focus. Ugh!


  • My first resolution is to make sure that I get enough sleep. Am not an owl, I don't suffer from insomnia, but I am unable to get good and enough hours of peaceful sleep. There is always a dream and I just completely lose myself in it, and then the alarm rings. Sigh!
  • Take care of my skin, and follow the cleansing-moisturizing-toning regime, OK that's too much to do everyday, I will atleast do the cleansing bit every night. Well, my skin is not in a bad condition, but recently, someone told me, that blessings also need to be taken care of, otherwise it will soon turn into a curse.
  • Drink water! Phew! This finds it way back into my list, can you imagine I live in a city which experiences the worst summer, and if I have managed to stay without water then also, then am definitely not a human, probably a camel's cousin - this statement was from my Dad.
  • Order less from flipkart - Yeah! I am a flipkart addict. I order a lot of books, then I give it away to people generously, without reading it. And then I crib when those books are not returned, and I order the same ones again. Hoarder!
  • Instead of saying, we should 'do something' I will actually do something. Its started more or less, especially after the gang rape. I have become more daring.
  • I will speak my mind, and I am not going to sugar coat them.
  • I will stand up for myself, whoever it is. I am done with people trying to hush me up, interrupt me, telling me the do's and dont's.
  • I am not going to sit quietly or ignore anyone's trashy talks. I will raise my voice. In the garb of friends, and well wishers, who have done everything but wished me well.
  • I will learn something new, if possible every month.
  • I will colour my hair.
  • I will wear more colors. Wear skirts, buy more accessories.
  • I will not stick to the same routes, I will drive my car without any fear.
  • I will write more nonsense ;)
OK! Am done. 13 resolutions for 2013. Not bad at all. I should be able to keep the resolutions, I will amend them if needed, but not break. And I am also going to review it every now and then. :)

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...

Snippets...

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 ...
