Promises...

Resolutions
Oaths
Kasamein
Vaadein

Call them what you please... for me its about thinking about our ideals and trying to set reminders for ourselves lest we stray from the path of seeking them! and new year is just another one of those milestones which makes it easy for everyone to see where they are as compared to where they want to be... so i dont have anything against anyone setting the new year resolutions!! :-) in fact i do it myself too... and yes weight loss is very much the first one on the list!! ALWAYS!!! ;-)

Anyways... have been meaning to put some more down here - so that can visit them later and see where i've reached... or maybe even when exactly i let go of them!!;-)

so here goes -

1. Loose 5 kgs... be fitter.. more active physically... more stamina... etc etc... in the general 'take care of body' genre! seeing ma with her bad knees is really driving home the need to do something!! so.. wont just join aerobics... but hopefully will do some real dancing too... more often..

2. Smile more often... i already do a lot of this... but there's scope for improvement here!! and i do believe in the 'you are as you do' philosophy!! so smiling makes me FEEL happier!! ;-)

3. Be less focused on what others can think... i find myself sometimes staying quiet, doing things i dont want to do, not doing things i want to do - just becoz am worried abt what someone else will think abt it. i know its not wrong to be worried abt this - after all am not talking abt strangers' opinion - these are people i care abt. so its liable for me to worry abt their likes and dislikes.. but i think i let it overwhelm me sometimes. thats what i shall aim to reduce!!!

4. Focus - on my work... am entering a new domain and there are far too many things to prove. but not to anyone else - tho of course thats on the anvil too... but firstly to myself.

phew... thats a lot... agar june end tak inmein se ek bhi fulfill ho jaaye - i'll b more than happy!!!

considering they are all open-ended anyways..(except the weight one)... i think am safe!!!

;-)

- Buy a house
- Settle into my new role ASAP and do well in it
- Not take nonsense from people, but doing so without losing [do learn how to spell this word!! :-)]my cool
- Continue with my world travels, and conquer Switzerland and Australia!!

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...

Its Father's Day today...

Its quite strange that for a society like ours which thrives and survives on family values - we never had these 'days' as a part of our culture. not that it means that we dont value these relations - just that i would have loved to have more days to celebrate these lovely relations! its the same as having a birthday - its not that you dont love that person the rest of the 364 days - but that day makes him/her feel extra special!! and what's life if not a collection of these small moments of feeling 'special' to someone... so am all for all these 'days' - tho' pls i do draw a line at celebrating 'boss day'!!! :-) Anyways - back to the topic "My Daddy Strongest!!" - this line never failed to make me smile everytime i saw it on TV... Its always strange for me to describe my relation with my dad... am the youngest of 3... dad was 38 when i was born... busy struggling to keep a roof over the family's head having left his family business ...

Being single at 35

“How does it feel?” – is a question some of the long-married friends of mine have asked me from time to time and more so recently. Maybe now that some of them have started approaching their 10th anniversaries – maybe its playing on their minds more than before! :-) And I have always believed that the old idiom of ‘grass being greener on the other side’ applies to women more than men!! We always seem to want or at least be intensly curious about whatever’s out of our reach! But to get back to the question being asked… how DOES it feel being single at 35? I don’t know if I can answer it actually – becoz then I need to know how else it could have felt at 35!! It feels bloody normal to me right now… :-) Maybe not what I expected it to feel at 35 – but this is how it is. It feels strange sometimes to have friends talk about their 9 yr old kids… It feels pretty normal to have enough free time to do what catches my fancy… It feels normal to never complain about ‘me’ time… Its strange to come ...
