Day like today...

Getting on with Week 1 in California. And its been lovely so far.....
The red leaved rustling outside the window are beautiful and the sunshine is warm. Nights are cold and cozy and being home is fun coz i am loving having so much constructive time by myself.
Hubby Dear has setup a lovely home, really not much to do, besides adding a woman's touch to it and splashing it with more color and order sometimes. Besides am an outdoor bird through and through.

Been keeping busy since i landed a few days ago - from exploring the neighbourhood, to doing rounds in the long aisles of US stores, driving by my old office - and missing it, visiting San Francisco city - the usual fun and frolic down Pier 39, Golden Gate, Sausalito, Crookedest Street and the likes. I plan to explore a lot more of the city in smaller pockets over a period of time. So if there are ny suggestions keep em coming...

Emotionally i haven't been so content in a long long time. I sleep well, eat well and laugh a lot. I ve also turned into a morning person, getting up before the alarm clock !!! Imagine!!!

I am living almost everything i waited for and dreamt of for a loooong time. Simple, daily, routine, mundane things. (Apart from a job) I dont think I want to ask for anything more right now...

Vacationing !!

I ve quit my job, and i am moving to different country – yeah the same ol’ boring US – and i am gonna be a homemaker for a while (aargh!!).

But i think, the reality has not struck me home yet, coz right now i am having a hell of a time at home (in india) and it has proved to be the loveliest vacation coz it does not hold an approaching deadline, threatening to get over soon. All i am seeing beyond this vacation is another vacation....talk about rose coloured glasses.

But u know wht, i ll cross the bridge when i come to it, till them eat, sleep and be merry! What more can i possibly want !! (okie, that’s technically impossible isin’t it :P )

Yet another move...

This blog has become more of a notice board lately - but i am hoping soon.....well, soon enough ;P ...... i will settle down, in some part of the world, get my thoughts collected and start writing, as in really writing!

And i am rather hopeful, because I do foresee a future where I ll have a lot of time - a lot more than I like, but i ll figure out a way to fill it. More on that when we get there, meanwhile I am moving!!

Leaving a city i ve come to call home last five years, surprisingly so, coz when i first came to B'lore, all I could think of was leaving it. It took me rather long to settle in here, but now i seem to have started growing roots!!!
It has shown me the best year of my life yet, it have given me my bestest of friends, the love of my life and so much more..... :)
(but that doesn't mean i dont have improvement feedback for it, but will post that some other time)

So it's a happy-sad move for now - sad for all the above reasons, happy coz i ll be starting a new life with my Hubby Dear soon......so, cheers to that!

Another one passes by..

This birthday has been an interesting one.....with a couple of yummy cakes, new associations and some very fun times. And it has also opened roads to places I had been waiting to go to, for a while now :)

Yummy Times !!

Thanks David for the honor :)
It was in fact the much needed kick to get me back to blogging.... just been soo lazy, and a lil busy :P

And now, the fun part...... here are 7 things about me.

1. I trip on music that makes my foot tap. And then i can be sitting in my office chair and dancing!! Ahun ahun ahun...

2. I think that fantasy and children stories have the most to teach us about life, honour, love and commitment. Wasn't Lord of the Rings written for children, and Harry Potter too....and they are simple things even for kids to understand. Why do we forget them along the way....
I havent been able to read a self help book in years...and even when i did, i cld never complete it. Sigh!

3. Sometimes i can chatter no (like right now, of course), and sometimes i dont have any words to share. But there are people i love having those wordless conversations with.....

4. I am glad i got married, coz it is so beautiful (and i am not talkin abt the ceremonies and pretty stuff u get to wear). Those who say - oh but our relationship is so perfect why spoil it with a marriage - to them i de say, u havent even started having a relationship yet!!!! Go try this one :)

5. Ice Creams - anytime, anyday, anywhere!!! As a kid i once refused to have one in the ice cream shop, and the shop was surprised such a kid exists!! Wish i cld go back and tell him - i too have come around. And if you are getting me some, make sure its chocolate. That would just be perfect!!

6. In my life right now there are a lot of changes on card, and not all that i'de be happy with. But i am ready....coz now i know till u dont get that kick u cant move ahead.

7. I thank all those people who love me, family AND friends coz i know they love me despite all my tantrums. It just makes me feel so much more special....


And now I pass on the bottle to Hyde, Bhaskar, Amit, Shub and Namrata. Hic!!
Cheers!

And so the bells toll....

The test of marriage begins much before the actual wedding ceremony. It has begun for me. How much you will change, accept change, allow changes, be ready for changes – tests of it all begins right away. How strong will your faith be and how far will it go - is not spared either.

Coz marriage is not just a ceremony; it is a value system we put in place ourselves. And it is upto us to keep its integrity.

On a different note........... talking to somebody in my office today I referred to my fiancé as "my husband". I didn’t realize when I first did that, and when I became aware of it couldn’t go back to calling him the fiancé time coz referential integrity had to be maintained. (yeah, cldnt help the joke)

Felt funny in a nice way though, “The Husband” !!!! And I wowed at how far we have managed to come over the years.

Touchwood.

Spin Offs

The mind always needs some things to feed on....books, TV, internet, thoughts...
They r all the same, ways to distract. But sometimes it feels like that time alone, is the only time i have with myself. The only time, i am Me.

Crazy Monday speaking? well, i de say its a crazy life altogether....
