About the Mumbai blasts - Not

Everyone is writing about that in their blog. So I wont. I don't think talking about it will help..atleast not here.

To everyone reading this blog - if you are that concerned and agitated about the current state of defence and security in India, please don't waste time discussing it online. Go out and vote in the next general elections, state elections, whatever, instead of calling it a "chutti" and sitting at home. If you feel that no one is worth voting for, then cast your vote as a "I vote for none" vote....yes, there IS that option...look it up. This isn't a dinner/Barista discussion topic. If you want to do something about it, go out and atleast show your support at candle light vigils, and in peace protest marches. And if you cant do that, then, I repeat, don't waste time being a pseudo intellectual, and discussing it online.

I'm veering off topic. This blog post isn't about terrorism. Its about happy stuff, and what may seem to many like frivolous stuff. So tough. If you expected a high end discussion on foreign policy and the Simla pact here, pphbbttt to you :)

I feel free today. I feel happy. I feel like I've shut a door behind me. And opened a new one in front.

Its been ages since I waited for the phone to ring. Been ages since I waited for an email, an IM. Been ages since I danced to random songs, since I sang while I cooked. But now I do.

Its been so so long since I checked off days on the calender. Been so long since I looked out the window and felt happy at the rain. Been so long since I cuddled up to sleep feeling happy. But now I do.

Yesterday morning it snowed. And it was cold. And wet. And miserable. Yet I stood at the bus-stop grinning like an ass. Weird.


Its been a long time since I've felt something. But now I do. Its been a long time since I waited for something..some day...someone...but now I do.

Life is back :). And all I can say is -

"You are what I never knew I always wanted"

-Fools Rush In

Of love, marriage and other dreams.

Let me begin by saying the last 6 years of my life have been a roller-coaster ride, at the very least. Moving to Hyderabad and then Bangalore, I embarked on the most important and eye opening chapter of my life - the life of the single working woman in India. I can safely say, no formal education or parental advice had ever prepared me for this. At times liberating, at times frightening, at times grueling.. its been frustrating, tear-jerking, and soul-shattering but ultimately - empowering. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in the world though. It has taught me my self worth, it has taught me to question blind faith in others, and at the same time to trust my own instincts. It has shown me the worst in people, and also the best. I have learnt that I have the (apparently) unique capacity to make friends and connect with people regardless of age, background and culture- a fact I am unabashedly proud of. Bangalore in particular, while having dealt me the hard hand o...

DISCLAIMER : This post is my personal opinion. It is NOT to state that breakups/divorces are not options to be considered. These are decisions that are very vital and liberating when taken appropriately. Please keep an open mind when reading this, and exercise discretion in forming opinions. Thanks! ------------ They say our generation gives new hope. We are strong, honest, independent, not afraid of choosing the path less taken , and we stand by our choices. We speak up against wrong, stand up for what is right, and try to fix whatever we can . But in this sea of virtue in which we immerse ourselves and  from which we emerge, we seem to have forgotten one- contentment....? We are used to instant gratification .

Another year older..another year wiser (?)

It's that time of the year...the birthday month!As a kid, life was great ..and around my birthday..even better! Amazing parents to buy me awesome stuff, cool friends to come to my party and also get me awesome gifts, amazing food, benevolent aunts and uncles to ...that's right, also get me awesome stuff..you see where I'm going with this... And then , I HAD to go and grow up....These days, a birthday is a good time to introspect...sans good food and awesome stuff :( To be very honest, this isn't what I thought or hoped my life would be at this age. There are many things that I can say about this , but very little that hasn't already been said or debated over...there is so much I could have done had good sense prevailed, but so much that I had to learn...(and continue to do so) the hard way...there is so much I should do now to correct myself, but so little I can do because the heart doesn't let me. Having said that, it could have been a lot worse. Maybe life ...
