Notes to myself


28th March... Beauty comes with an expiry date, because beauty products do not come with a 'forever' timeline, then why do women get obsessed with it? One day or the other it's going to leave everyone..

27th March... Holi - a festival of colours, did the colours say, apply me on selected faces, apply me on a certain caste or creed?

14th March... Government wants to light up deserted streets, to prevent crimes on women at night, what about the rapes, molestations, eve teasings happening diring the day time?

March 1.. Wow! I haven't updated my 'notes to myself' in a long time.




May 9th..
Mother’s Day – Five years now, since I became a MOTHER, but it still feels different, sometimes its scary, when I see other mothers struggling with their teenagers, and I keep wondering what will I do? How will I be? If  I say that it has only been rewarding, then I would be lying, anybody who says that it has been Great are not being honest about it…how can you be happy when your kid is constantly crying or is cranky? Isn’t that a miserable feeling? Anyway, for me motherhood has been a roller coaster ride, and its going to be for a long time…

The man who pampered me more than my father was my Grandfather…May his soul rest in peace…
March 19th..

Desperate Housewives – Season6 starts tonight..Looking forward to it..
Feb 25th..
Remember a dialogue from the movie Lage Raho Munnabhai, “agar aadmi ki sahi pehchaan karni ho toh dekho ki woh apne se chote logon ke saath kaise baat karta hai”, It is so true… When it comes to being just human, why must we differentiate between classes?
Feb 22nd..
Even a teenage girl becomes a mother, but can she be a Parent? And will she be able to fulfill the duties of parenthood, is doubtful, Becoming a MOM or a DAD is no big deal..the challenge is to be a PARENT..sadly many of us don’t know the difference.

Feb 17th..
The week that was – I watched MNIK, and I loved it…I would have loved it anyway, am a SRK fan…so I am biased.. ;) …
Feb 16th..
Whole of last week, I was brimming with thoughts, and now am empty.. What the heck???
Feb 15th..
Getting an ID proof is such an ordeal..no wonder more than half the population of India, does not have a Voter’s ID or ration card or passport. You go to any of the above mentioned offices for a proof, they will ask for thousand docs, arrey yaar, if we had all the proofs, would we come for an ID proof in the first place???
Feb 15th..

Feb 10th..
On my mind – a Song – Tum Mile toh jaadoo cha gaya..tum mile toh jeena aa gaya..tum mile toh maine paaya,hai khuda.. beautiful number, especially the slow version…
Feb 9th..
I did not like the new version of “Miley sur mera tumhara”, pseudo-patriotism is what I would call it, bringing in a bunch of film stars, looks, more like a Bollywood Anthem. Tsk! Tsk!
Feb 9th..
“My journey has been long. I do not regret it. At times, it has been dark, a perilous course. At other times, joyous, dappled with sunlight. It has been hard more often than easy”. Journey by Danielle Steele, hope it turns out to be a good read.
Feb 5th…
Ever experienced this?? – Feeling low, sad, unhappy, grumpy..and suddenly you hear something or recollect something or remember someone..and then you smile..Mere saath hua hai..and I love that magical feeling.. :)
Feb 5th..
Why is adoption limited to only those couples who face fertility issues? I wish I could adopt a child, if I could
it would be a girl..There is still a stigma attached to adoption, sad, but true..
Feb 2nd..
Watched Ishqiya…Fundoo movie..Arshad Warsi was outstanding.
Feb 1st..
Connected with someone after a very long time. Felt nice. Its strange how all relationships change with time.
Jan 29th…
I scolded my kid in the morning, fact is I continued to scold him even when he said sorry. When he got into the school bus, he didn’t even look at me, felt bad, went to school to surprise him and pick him up. I anticipated a smile and a loud, “Mummy”, instead he asked me why I came to pick him up? And he said he wasn’t happy.. :( , point noted..

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

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....

These are a few of my favourite things...

Getting bored..so thought of listing out my favourite things.. When I say favorites..The first thing that comes to my mind is COFFEE..Ah!!..

The colors blue and white.. White makes me feel at peace, blue makes me happy… Books – I can read many, anytime… Movies..Love the experience of watching it in the theatre..with caramel popcorn, and jumbo PEPSI.. Travelling…Though haven’t traveled to places I wanted to yet..someday am sure I will..I love travelling.. Music….all the time..any time.. Smell of the earth..when it rains..
