Random nothings!

As the countdown begins to step into another year, I start making resolutions mentally. This is a tradition that I have followed every year. I keep some, I break many, what's the fun if you don't break any resolutions?! Like my son loves to quote these days "rules are meant to be broken" > Health tops my list this year... I cannot afford to neglect it again. I will do whatever it takes to keep myself fit and fine. >To be more active, in terms of cooking, juicing etc.. need to take out that juicer and use it. > I want to learn something this year, have short listed few things, I hope I manage to tick it off my list this year. > I should try and blog more, if not weekly, at least monthly. > Quit sugar completely. Or at least bring it down to half teaspoon > Reduce my gadget time, especially the phone. I told myself I will do it in 2016 also, never did it really. > Spend better time with my son. Should really move my a**, and do stu...

All it takes is a song, and you are immediately transported to a time gone by... A time, where love was red hearts, roses, red world through rose tinted glasses, mushy cards, sentimental songs.. audio cassettes recorded with playlists that conveyed the 'feelings'.

That no matter, how nicely you draw a heart, and fill it with bright red colour, it still breaks. It not only breaks, it shatters into thousand pieces, you can spend a lifetime trying to pick them up, you will sti...

My last post was on 16th March 2015, and I haven't visited this space since then... Lot of things happened between then and now.. March 25th 2015, we finally got the possession of the villa, we had been rooting for. The previous owner was a complete jerk, he put us through an ordeal. But as they say, when you really want something, the universe conspires to get it for you. I desired that house, which is now my beautiful home. Even before, we signed the papers, I had visualized the decor of this house...my house, my home! I was happy with my previous villa too, it was enough for the 4 of us, but, hey, dreams are not in your control, fulfilling them definitely is. My husband made it happen. He just went after the guy to get this for us. The whole of April and May was spent in doing up the house. The woodwork, the furniture, drapes etc... Everything had to be coordinated. Though am still not happy with the colour of the curtains.. Looking around to find the right one. Then came t...
