Me time...

This is my first post of 2011 and I wish to write regularly on my blog this year. I have been neglecting, blogging, one of my most favourite things in the past quarter but now I promise myself to be regular.

After all, blogging is my 'me' time and how callous of me to have neglected it for so long. I am sure I have time for other things like reading and listening to music. So why so much of laziness in blogging?

I will be writing regularly :)

Started reading again….!

I have started reading again and it seems that I have started living again. Reading gives me such a pleasure that I really can’t define. From last one month or so, I wasn’t reading at all because of various reasons – I was travelling by road, then I wasn’t in the mood because of my medicines and then I had gone off track in life and didn’t feel like doing anything. The last thing in my mind was my books and reading.

But one thing that kept me going during my tough time was music. It kept me going on and I am so very happy that slowly and steadily I am living my old life again of reading and also music. On 24th September, 2010, I went to Landmark at Phoenix Mills and bought eleven books – five for myself and six for Jemimah and Jewel. I want to inculcate the habit of reading in them as well.

I like to read two-three books at a time. For train I have kept my Bible (to be read in the morning) and currently I am reading some short stories by O Henry (in the afternoon, while listening to music). There’s nothing for the night right now as we are going for Rosaries but still I will keep something for the night as well. I want to keep myself busy all the time and not go astray anymore. Wordsworth Classics are inexpensive paperbacks for students and for the general reader like me and like to buy more of these to satiate my thirst for books.....

No time for blogging......

I am so caught up with work and going through an emotional upheaval that the last thing on my mind is blog. So sad....I am neglecting something that I enjoy doing the most...............how mean of me!

But even if I write something short today, I am going to write. I am going to keep my thoughts updated on my soul space....I love blogging and I love this space.

Awwwww….baby…..mwaah!

The last 16 days of my life has taught me a lot. It has taught me the extremes of human nature. It reminds me the story of the “Hare and the Tortoise” which I want to rewrite in my own way.

According to the traditional story, the hare and the tortoise both run for the same objective…..to win the race! In my story as well, they both run for the same objective but “meri kahani mein twist hai”. In my story, the hare - all charged up, blunt, focused and to the point - right from very beginning, knows what he wants and is eager to win the race – by any hook or crook.

On the other hand the gentle tortoise, with its charmth and warmth, believed in winning his race slowly and steadily….but his objective is just the same! He too has to win the race…..though patiently!

In my version of the story, though the objective of both the hare and the tortoise are just the same, they both fail to win. None of them is able to win the race. Though both had the same objective, same goal and the same intention, they just fail to achieve it.

And the moral of my story is: Do whatever you want to, just don’t play around with anybody’s feelings….it hurts….badly…..!

It's been ages...!

OMG! Its been ages since I updated my blog.

Well, its not my fault. I was busy with the India International Jewellery Week (IIJW) and then with India International Jewellery Show (IIJS). I was working almost round-the-clock. But I thoroughly enjoyed it and had one of the best experiences of my life.

Now I can breathe and behave normal.

My Chestnut and Black are gone….

We mutually agreed to set Chestnut and Black free. They have gone back to the place from where we brought them. This decision was taken to make their life beautiful by giving them the opportunity to live out-of-chains. At home, we had been keeping them house arrested, taking them only for occasional morning and evening walks, merely to let them answer their nature’s call. For the rest of the day, they would only sit staring at the bathroom walls, vacated for them.

Now they can roam anywhere they want to and anytime they want to. There wouldn’t be any restrictions for them. In fact, we have seen them running about happily in the entire parking area the way they used to during their childhood before we brought them home. We got them home with good intentions and to give them a good life; we de-wormed and vaccinated them; and gave plenty of healthy food, love and care. We strengthened their system and now they can fight their own battles.

But I will miss them forever. I will miss the way they used to behave when they saw me. They stayed with us from 24th January, 2010 to 31st July, 2010 – six months and 7 days. They will always have a special place in my heart. I have loved them a lot and am sure they too will never forget me and might come running behind me if they happen to see me passing by. Lovingly l called them ‘Koos’ and they will forever be my Koos. There will be no other Koos for me. Just the two of them……….

Hospitalized :(

On Monday night, I was hospitalized. Since then I am in the hospital. I am writing my blog from the hospital. Don't know what to write but just keeping myself engrossed and my blog updated.

Its really so painful to be in the hospital. The nurses are so ruthless. The sight of needles and tubes and the smell of medicine is really killing me. I am missing my home.

I am missing my daughters. I am missing my husband. I am missing my doggies. I am having a pathetic time of my life.
