Quite similar to Christmas celebrated across the world with great pomp and fanfare, Diwali strikes a similar chord with each and every Indian.
The festivities and all the paraphernelia that go in with Diwali make it so special that staying away from home – India makes one miss it terribly.
Wishing everybody a wonderful and peaceful………
Happy Diwali!!!!

It is such a sad thing, but in spite of the supposed liberalization of women (in the cities and to an extent in villages), men continue to behave cheap. Some of them at work do not look into the eye and have the audacity to have a roving eye even when you talk to them. It is a kind of harassment that is very difficult to be pinned down and punished. There are also many sexist who live wearing the garb of modernity, but do not respect a woman. There inherent bias and their intolerance to a woman’s opinion are highly abhorrent.
A big Yuck to all these perverts and sexists. To all women out there, please don’t even care about such elements with worthless existence. And kudos to all those men who do not discriminate and are human in their behavior to women.
This post has been in the offing for a long time and just now another such incident of cheap behavior wanted me to express my abhorrence.

Law of Inertia
Newton’s First Law of Motion is - An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
This definition is not just aplicable in physics, but also to the human mind. Has it ever happened to you that you do not wish to do absolutely anything? You realise that there are many activities to be completed, but do not wish to do anything because you are in no mood to do it. I would say, it is an inertia of mind that simply discourages to do anything. Strangely, this happens to me even when I am extremely busy.
In short, I think it simply is a shutdown or rather a state of lazyness. Writing daily is not easy and I am now in a state of writing inertia.

Sheer joblessness sometimes keeps one from doing anything worthwhile. There are umpteen number of things that I have been postponing for a long time and my blog is one of them. There are a lot of changes coming in and I want to be terribly busy. I would love to share some of those experiences with you too.
I promised my blog that I would write every single day of a month. With the start of the Navratri season this year, I have decided to fulfil this promise for the month of Oct, 08.
Will stick to it!

Amongst all my apprehensions and confusions I found the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. It is now a year since we got married. I have mixed feelings – (one) that the year flew past us as in a jiffy and (two) that my hubs was a part of my life from many years now and not just a year and six months.
An irony, which I was told is a good sign

Dear blog
I realize it is more than a month since I put up a single post here. By the look of it, you might deduce that I am probably ignoring you. I know that there is no excuse for not blogging. But frankly, life has been so busy and so full of things that sometimes trying to chronicle all the happenings seems overwhelming. This results in not at all doing what one is accustomed to – an irony indeed.
It seems a quirk that I am writing this letter to you. Probably, it is not too; more of my conscience that plays on my mind that I have ignored one of the most important things in my life. My acquaintance with you started at a point when I really was changing a lot of things in life and interacting with you all these years has helped me always.
Let me try making up to you. I plan to write more regularly and would want to have a whole month full of posts.
Wish me luck darling
Love,
M.
PS: I am posting this in August for the month of July, 2008.

Twenty-one days of the new year have rushed past me and I am yet to make an entry here. What kept me from writing? A number of factors starting from a new hobby, working on some art projects and looking after a number of little things. Sometimes remaining inconsequential and yet busy is very easy.
Ushering in the New Year I want to put in some of the highlights of the year that was – 2007.
* I was 25 last year and enjoyed the status of being a Quarter centurian. Well, sometimes I did get bogged down by my junta that I was a spinster and seemed like the Everest in front of their eyes who was 30. Well, all said and done I was a bachelorette last year and now I am married woman.
* I found my life-partner last year. From all I have gone through, trust me its an achievement in itself. Getting married to someone isn’t really an issue, it is the whole thing about finding the right person that makes the process all the more painful and in retrospect humourous. So all said and done got married with all the pomp associated with a traditional South-Indian wedding. A little weary at times, but I enjoyed the shopping, running around and finally all the rituals that went with it.
* From the work perspective, I got my promotion and did pretty decently at work. Partly enjoyed what I did and cribbed for the rest. I suppose that is part of work in itself. What is the fun in working or watching a movie without the cribs or the comment?
* I placed my esteemed leg in four continents. Enjoyed traveling every moment of it. I had this major fascination with Greece. Please don’t ask me why. But then, I simply wanted to go there and 2007 was the year when I actually did and what more on our Honeymoon. Couldn’t have ever asked for more.
* Lastly, I finished the year by taking a break from work. Man!!! Do I love this? Yup baby!!!! I do. Once in every 4-5 years, it is good to take a break. Easier said than done, but it definitely does a world of good. It is in moments like this that I have a feeling that yes, I am living. I am living my life for what it is and not just running around in the eternal rat-race with no clue whatsoever of where I will finally end up. I have traveled a lot in the last 4 months of the last year and enjoyed every bit of it.
Couple of years ago, I had resolved that I will not make any resolutions for a New Year. I inevitably break them. But, ironically I managed to stick to this resolve of mine.
Life is a celebration in itself and I wish you all a Happy New Year with every moment of it to be spent in a celebration!
Eat well, sleep well and smile a lot more

Why does it have to happen to me time and again that when I want something/someone I do not get and once I decide to move on…. I get it!
Somehow…. I feel dead!
