am back...

its been tooooooooooooooooo long... and while i have been missing penning down the random thoughts i keep getting... my laziness kinda overwhelmed my enthusiasm!! :-)

anyways - this goes to prove what a boring sunday evening can do to a person...

first things first - in case anyone else ever gets around to reading this -
my earlier blog gave up on me when my gmail account got hacked into! :-( i still feel very depressed abt loosing that great an id! and seriously am surprised at how ethg kind of came back to normal quickly even though i lost both my id's at the same time. maybe i just havent realized the loss... or maybe there just wasnt that much to loose anyways! hmmm... sad it is.. either ways.

anyways... whats gone is gone..

let me be honest and upfront here - i really DID miss my blog more than i did my email accounts! is that weird? who knows... it seems so actually. :-) good, i havent lost my touch yet!! varna lag raha tha that age has really made me boringly straight!

I like the resilience and the never say die spirit, whether it is re-creating your blog after the disappointment of losing it, or the decision to explore Rome half a day after the ordeal of losing your laptop and passport. We can all learn a thing or two from you. Keep it up Ruchika! :-)

Reading is what saved me…

  Its funny to say or hear this but its true. In my life, books happened very early on in life and I got totally hooked to the escape they offered. Given our financial constraints growing up, books were a cheap way to get those kicks in life. A nearby renting library with an endless supply of M&Bs and Georgette Heyer’s and other similar ‘fluffy’ fiction – made it all super easy. I devoured books from the school library, shamelessly borrowed (and returned) books from friends and neighbors and never shied away from being seen with a book at the every juncture. Its truly a wonder that i didn' t get glasses at that stage in life! Books saved me from the stress that financial constraints bring to a child’s mind. Books saved me from the boredom that brings on negative thinking. Books told me that having and expressing emotions were totally fine – I could shed copious tears while reading without any fear of judgement. I could laugh out loud at a smart and sassy scene. Instead they...

F$#@ Buddies

When I first heard this term – in all my naivety (yes it DOES apply to me at times!!) – I really thought it means its someone who’s a buddy and you also f@#$ them… seemed to make little sense to me at that time – simply because I thought that’s what I define as my perfect formula for a life partner!! Why coin a whole new term for something as basic as say a soul mate etc… Only later did I finally grow up to realize that there’s a whole new world out there in which terms like this make so much sense… and its not what I thought… Its someone who u f@#$ and can be sure to keep it a secret like a buddy!!! Or it’s a buddy - who when u’re down and out, you can ask for a f@#$ if you really need it!! Now why did this come to mind now… well simply becoz in a recent episode of ‘sex and the city’ – the girls are discussing this! And I was wondering about this kind of relationships – if they can be called that. Especially so in our culture here - where most people in my circle at least (or so i wud...

Starting Over...

In life, beginings and ends form such a crucial part of living - never have i realised it more than in the last month or so. Both personally and professionally - too many things are ending and too many new ones are beginning. Its very easy to get nostalgic about whats ended - easier still to forget that it was us who wanted that stage to end ourselves. All because somewhere or the other in our heart - we're scared of the next stage... scared of not being sure... maybe of not having the comfort of belonging - like how we did earlier. Leaving aside the personal changes - professionally, after working for 14 years non-stop, i quit. To the world - i've taken a 'break'. No plans, No hidden cards (yes i got told that by quite a few), No waiting-by-the-side offers... just needed to not feel fatigued in life and figured that it IS after all, MY OWN LIFE... so i can do what feels right to me... without guilt, or feeling irresponsible, or even just guilt of being lazy!! Its my go...
