Hippy New Year

Helloooooooooooooooooooo :O)

I am back. I am happy. I am scared to be this happy. I am happy because I am at peace. Our families have met and all is well with the world. I have finally decided to get off my lazy ass and truly commit to a job hunt, even be open to a line of work that is alien to me. While I knew all along that not everyone gets their dream job, the least I could do, for my SELF, is put away all doubts and fears and accept that every job has its own challenges. The reason I am able to accept this is because a lot of worry has disappeared from my heart and mind and I am willing to completely give myself to something new and exciting. Some times, you have so much occupying your mind that it seems almost unfair to commit to a job and not do justice to it. I have done that before and while the job did give me ample distraction from the worry - I was never doing my best at the job, and knowing that now makes me feel really guilty. I know that worries will come and go, and one can't quit work so we can deal with it, but for as long as you are unemployed, it makes you all the more reluctant to actually look.

I would like to thank Reflections for this award - I am SO excited as this is my first blog award ever. Thank you Nancy!:

    Wow, that is how I feel everytime I think about getting back to work and leaving my daughter some place for babysitting. Yes, you have to be free to be able to devote your mind to work while at office. Glad you are in a good place. Happy job hunting!

Paralysis

I feel so much has happened in the three months of my married life but never has there been an opportunity to put it down in words. Some times I start writing only to get easily distracted when I see a tag or a useless quiz on Facebook. I wish I could say I did "nothing" with my life these past 3 months - but that is not entirely true. Those who know me, know that I cannot sit idle, and that I thrive on my work. But now, having relocated to Hyderabad - I am happy to be a housewife because that is a whole new territory that I have never been exposed to. My mother was a working woman, and every childhood friend I have had, had mums who were working women. I am not trying to say that housewives do not work - in fact, I am trying to say exactly the opposite. There are so many minute details that go into running a household - I am in awe at how my mother did all that she did. That aside, we have an addition to the family - a 2-month-old male labrador, our baby - we have named him ...

A Picture Speaks

I was tagged by Renu and the rules are: Pick the 6th picture of your 6th photo folder. Tell a story around it. Pass it on to six other people you like. So when I saw this a few days ago I was like: Oh my God please don't let it be a picture of me looking cross-eyed or something equally bad. Even before I checked to see what the picture was I was tempted to select any "cool" picture from one of my albums and pass if off as the 6th of the 6th. How ever, to be fair, I arranged my folders according to Name, and then looked. And this is what I found: These are my last set of college gal pals. I say last because I have been to 4 colleges so far in my life, and a degree and two post graduations later the greatest lesson I have learned is that GOOD friends are REALLY hard to find. (If my mother hears of this she would say "You didn't have to waste my money on college tuition to learn THAT - I could have told you for FREE!) This picture was taken when we went bowling -...

Friends Like Us

Who, in a world with satellite television, does not know F.R.I.E.N.D.S? More importantly, who does not like them? I know I did, still do in fact :O) - even if Star World is over doing it a tad bit. Makes you wonder if they don't have ANY other sitcom they could air but this one. And trust me, there are some brilliant ones out there. When hubby comes home from work, the norm is to sit together with a cup of chai and watch the funnies on Star World. It usually coincides with the double episode of FRIENDS every evening, which we sit through just to watch what ever comes after. Today though, they played the last episode of Season 10 followed by the first episode of Season 1!!! I was hit with nostalgia as I travelled back in time to the nineties! I still remember the day in high school when all we could talk about was the previous night's episode when the Friends gang watches the prom night video (when Ross was supposed to take Rachel because her date ditched her). As a teen, we co...
