Detoxed!!!

Went to a health farm as a part of my end-year holidays... with my sis! 5 days of cleansing - mind, body and in not-so-small a manner - SOUL too!!

Had gone admittedly with a closed mind - full of negatives and willing to pull out at the slightest sign of being 'boring' or 'tough'!! Thankfully - It was far from either...

Spending time on just myself had become a rarity as i realised there. WHen was the last time i looked at just myself and thought abt what i'm eating, drinking or doing??
Took me almost 2 days of that regimen to get used to the fact that i did not HAVE to have my laptop with me... that it was fine for the phone to be off all day long... that no one was dying to know where i was... and the biggest one - That its OK for me not to CARE about anything else but chilling out and shutting off the world!!! ;-)

Made new friends there... reminded me of the times when we didnt have so much technology at hand so easily which made us take friendships too casually
At the camp, we were bonding because of what we were sharing - THEN AND THERE! Encouraging each other through the tough sessions, making fun of the teachers, Jokes galore at every meal time... their promotion of silence during lunch / dinner - went for a toss with the hi-decibel Gupta sisters there!

VEry very nice experience... made me respect myself a little bit more... i CAN do things which sound really gross! and they turn out to be pretty normal too...

Highly recommended... go challenge yourself into unknown situations... u'll come out of it cleansed in some manner at least - if not mind and body - then at least of some prejudices!!!

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 ...

Chauvinism rears its head again...

Maybe had just got spoilt with the lull on this front ... but when faced with an in-ur-face display of chauvinism happened, i was yet again caught by surprise! why do i keep getting surprised still after so many years, i dont know... maybe am just too slow in my head!! ;-) in my head - an educated, corporate professional who's been in existence in this current world scenario - when asked 'do your sisters work?' DOES NOT reply with an 'of course not!' in my head - the above described person DOES NOT insist on 'homely' (read : non-working) as a pre-requisite for his life-partner! in my head - the above described person is fictional!! :o) but no - with my luck - trust me to run into this person... and since i firmly believe that there's always a reason why anything happens in life... i shall aim to look for reasons here as well... 1. had to remember the lessons learnt in body language (limp handshake = limp mind and who knows limp what else!!) he he!! 2. h...
