The last day of the year!!!

No deep and meaningful insights. No nostalgia. No year end confessions. No resolutions. No witty limericks. No wise anecdotes.

Yes wishes from the heart. Yes bright and prosperous new year. Yes make new friends don't forget the old. Yes be safe on the roads. Yes spreading cheer. Yes pursuing peace. Yes hello and gratitude to all who read my ramblings and encourage. Yes more and better blogs.


Happy New Year!!!!

Yes, and to you too!

@Bindhu Unny
Thank you Bindhu, wish you and your husband and your trekking club the same! Oxymorons are a figure of speech I can totally associate with!

Yes Drunk driving and killing ppl on the roads, Yes Gyaan sessions with absoutely no insights, Yes recession and melt down, Yes joblessness, Yes fruitless rambling on blogs..like mine...with no no hits.

But ! hey you dont need to have half of all this to be sad, thus be happy, since u are on the Fairer side of life.

Happy new year !

Way to Happy Valley

As with most of life's revelations, I got one of my favorites at a mundane moment in the peak of summer. Cruising down Mount Road, the sun beating down my back and the road letting off its heat as mirages, the saying that ' when everything's perfect, something's wrong ' hit me bang in between my eyes as being so right. Since then, I've developed a respect for the many imperfections we come across in life, realizing that its the dash of' lemon', that brings out the flavor. Imperfections are like the crunch in the salad, the almonds on the ice cream, the poppy seeds on a complimentary batch of warm bread. Perfection is magnificent. Like the balance of our universe, like the way our bodies are formed, like the seasons, like the sun, the moon, the ocean. Like the the Creator and Organizer of all these. But looking for perfection in our own lives is a guaranteed way to Unhappy Valley. Accepting imperfections (which is NOT a synonym for mediocrity) is like c

Thank you Mr. Berners-Lee!!!

Was it just twenty years ago that a landline was an 'in' thing?! Was it just twenty years ago that inland letters were quick enough? Was it twenty years ago that anything dot com would have been met with a blank stare? The world is celebrating the world wide web's twentieth year in existence, today! (Thank you Mr Berners-Lee!) and I'm joining in!! My first foray into the web was thanks to my brother, some twelve years ago! I still remember, we used to pay Rs.30-Rs.40 an hour (some cafes charged that for half hour) and I used to simply sit beside him, bored out of my wits, while he searched (not sure if it was Google that he used) for pictures of bikes, cars and then some minuscle studies related stuff (the original excuse behind the funds for this adventure! ) I only occasionally gave in to peer pressure during my teenage years, and the time I saw everyone rattle off email IDs (cuteflower@watever.com, findmeifyoucan@creepy.com etc etc) was one of them! I begged my br

Here we are again!

Happens every year end, this. I sit and wonder, how in the world can one year go by so quickly! And every year is the same. A hearty mixture of laughter and joy and a dash of tears and sorrows. But isnt that the very essence of life? Balance. If not one, then no appreciation for the other. So many wonderful things happened this year! Unexpected, expected.I learnt that if I wanted to be happy and be filled with joy, I only had to give the same. Wasnt easy, but possible. I learnt that even friendship needs all the ingredients of a relationship - unconditional love, forgiveness and turning a blind eye to faults, but most of all the ability to forget. Again, not easy, but not impossible. This year taught me, that where there is a will (and lots of love!) there is a way. Even over the Atlantic Ocean! That the embrace of a beloved is worth more than anything else in the world. That a sunset watched with my hand in that of a loved one surpasses even the glory of that dusk! That love is wh
