Now that the vacations are over.... (I know 7 years ia a little too much to b called a vacation. But what to do travelling, reading, cooking and raising a brat took over my time. Not nessesarily in the same order.) I've decided to get back to my writing. Then the question is what to write??? Should it b about travelling or reading or cooking or about raising a brat ( better not to get started about this one!!)

      For now travelling would b safe....

In these 7 years I travelled quite a bit but not as much as I would have liked to. Most of the trips we covered by road. Personally thoses are my favorite kind. There's a beauty in traveling by road. It's like u make your own rules you are free from the hassles of booking tickets or sticking to the schedules. More over u get to know the essence of a particular place .

Of all the places I visited I think Kashmir takes the crown. Now where to start describing about this breathtakingly beautiful state!? The snow peaked mountains, the rivers, the valleys or the kids innocence so pure. Everything is so serene and pure. The sun rises and the sun sets are to die for.

Though I travelled with my family... It was the best time I spent with myself. There was magic in the air. One would b happy to get lost in those valleys. I wouldn't b exaggerating if I said I've never seen so many shades of green in my life or that I didn't even know that so many shades even existed. Talking about shades and colors... During the sun rise or sun set, the different shades of gold and silver on the snow peaked mountains is a sight to behold!

I can really go on and on about this wonderful paradise but I know that all good things have to end. ( not nessesarily in our imaginations ;) . But Kashmir has to b in everyone's must-visit-before-i-die list.
And hence signing off on that happy note ;)

ME, HYMA, MYSELF

As you all know how bad I am at this .... still I dont want to spare you guys the torture of reading it. I've been so busy these last few months that I couldn't even take the trouble of taking out some time to torture you guys with my writings!!!! Anyways I'm BaAAAaaaccckkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I just wanted to enlighten few of my friends about the days they are going to see in the near future.
The day starts( it can be as early as2:00 Am ) with a huge cry!!! Suddenly you don't understand understand how a baby managed to come into your work place and why was it crying. After a few more minutes you realise that it is the feeding time and its your turn to feed the baby . With great efforts you manage to wake up and feed the baby and also manage to sleep as soon as you shut your eyes the next cry is for change of diapers and the clock besides show that it is 3:00 your are finished with it ans are back to sleep :) wake up!!! feed time again this time you are sure that you can sleep for at least 2 hours at a stretch they you go the alarm goes off and get ready for work!!!!!

All the bEst!!!!

parivarthan....(Change)

I never thought I will change.... I used to sleep for 48 hours undisturbed in the good old days but now i forgot what is it to sleep for 4 hrs at a stretch .. but still I'm loving it!! Some times i feel was it too early to have a child? but then when Om smiled at me or hugs me or kisses me or even does any of those silly things he does i feel as if I missed all tht for too long!!!! I facinated to see the way he has grown up !!! I still remember him in my lap without making a slightest effort to see how the world is and to day i can vouch that he is the naughtiest child i have ever seen. I wonder from where does he get all that energy from!!! He wakes up as early as 6 sometimes in the morning and with some lil naps in between he retires at 12 midnight....and through out he doesnt stop once for even to catch his breath. The other day i just returned from my work after a hectic day i was just relaxing and thud i hear somthing when i went in to see waht it was Om started crying i thought he fell down and was pampering then i realised that he had a bad cut in his forehead and it was bleeding i rushed him to the doctoe and to my surprise as soon as I wenth there there was a small doggy and it facinated him so much that he fogot every thing abt the cut and started playing with it. He even enjoyed having a TT shot :)

How soon kids forget things . But its a pleasure watching him grow up!!!

Summary

Hello Folks!!! after long felt like putting my thoughts together again... I was reading hems latest addition and i do agree with her completely about leaving the mind on its own...Once a while its good to think about us that is what we have done till now, where have we been and what has happened to oneself.... all these might help us to improve oneself...

When I look at myself from the point where I'm standing now I feel like going back to some pages of my life may be to live it once more or may be to make some corrections or might just to have the feel of of it all again...but then some pages which i don't want to visit or even remember any more.... and then with these thoughts we enter into a new year which again hold a lot of surprises in store for us...again there will be some pages which we would want to live forever, which might need correction or which we want to forget!!!!


So friends let us all Welcome this new year with a positive attitude and live it to the fullest

Cheers!!!!

Gratitute

Recently i read about gratitude in some book. That dragged my attention. There was one line perticlulary which grabbed my attention in it which says "Gratitude can turn chaos to Order". Then I started introspecting.....and i started co-relating this with my life and my 15 months old son. His day starts at 7:00 Am and the fist thing he does as soon as he wakes up is grab the first thing he can lay his tiny hands on!!! Even before reading this book i used to show my gratitude to God for giving me such a lovely child!! then after me trying to pull the first thing off from his hands he starts yellling and weeping and then it turns to screaming at that perticular moment my husband remembers that he is getting late to office and then with my screaming kid in my arms and an irritated husband to abide orders i start my day. Then my husband completley forgets about his office and tarts watching WWF as if he has all the time in this sweet world but my son doesnt forget abt the THING which we pulled from his hands so to divert him i give him some toys to play... he likes the idea so much that now he wants me to play with him...i do that for some time then he starts throwing the toys all over the place...i let him do it for some time then when i feel that i'm getting late for work my husbands memory comes back and he rushes for the shower comming in my way so i go back to tidy up the toys. As i'm at this task my little rasckal starts pulling of the clothes from the cupboard and scatters them all over the home... then i give up and transfer the duties to Mani my life saviour she then takes him out for a morning walk, before she returns we get readyfor work. Now he wants to come with us and starts crying, some how we manage to reach work . by the time i reach home in the evening the process of cleaning the scatterd toys, books and clothes continues till the time he falls asleep, (which will be around 12 or 1 in the midnight) that is when i show my gratitude to GOD!!!

So friends any suggetions for how Gratitude can turn chaos to order?

My First writing

Writing is one talent which i didnt try my hand at. Forget about essays I never even wrote a leave letter in my entire student Career . So friends Happy Reading!!!!!


I was inspired by Hems writing so people blame her for this!!! Nature always facinated me. I can sit for hours together just watching the sun rise or sun set..... or for that matter the waves . I can spend a whole day at the beach just watching the waves. I like the sound of the waves it sounds like music to my ears.. when i was a kid i used to collect shells from the beach and try to hear the sounds of the sea through it... A few years back I've been travelling trhough the Himalayas. For me that was the best experiance i had!!! I have seen the Nature at her best. The snow covered mountain Peaks, The beautiful Valleys and Riven Ganges flowing amidst theese Valleys and it had all the shades of green, blue, grey.. even the camera cannot capture the actual beauty of those scenes.

I felt like settling down there is those valleys!!! But life cant be that easy. I had to come back to the real world where wake up in the morning rush to work listen to Boss'es Tantrums, go back home in the evening get things back to normal so on and so forth

Cheers!!!
