Sunday Funday

Have been thinking about writing more posts, at least once a week but it hasn't been possible till now. Me now in New York with hubby and son. I wanted to write more now that I get some time but somehow the inspiration isn't there. But this one I wanted to write, before my need to write wanes off. 


This wasn't even a planned blog post. Just that I felt writing. I have been telling about lack of inspiration to write but what inspired me to write this was the beautiful sights I saw on the way to a birthday party on Sunday. Beautiful trees green and luscious. It made me feel beautiful as if it was lending its beauty to everyone around. Such a pleasure to watch even though it was from a fast moving car. If I'd have time, I would just stand and watch and grab all the beauty around me. I have been in Chennai which is a metro for 7 yrs now and I don't get to enjoy these often. But when I do get to enjoy, it is imprinted in my mind. Am still able to picture it in my mind. 


I know many are ready to shell out money anywhere where they can get a promise of relaxation. But my question is Why do you have to run in search of peace when it is available for free. Just stand and watch all those green plants and trees with those colorful flowers, you can feel the peace you crave for. 


I so so so have to brag now. About the enjoyment I had on sunday. 
I had so much fun at the party meeting many people who worked with hubby. The only dampener was my son getting hurt. He is at a stage where he is in such a urgency to grasp the whole world in his little hands. He just doesn't know the meaning of fear. But just after 30 min of being cranky he was out and about again charming his way. The host had planned a beautiful party with pot luck and barbeque. (I let my hubby do the cooking :D). I don't think any one bothered much about food. It was more about just talking and getting to know each other and of course running after the kids. I had fun associating faces to the names I have heard everyday. It was a birthday party and of course the birthday baby just shined. She was such an adorable princess with a cute smile. I hadn't thought much about it but when I started playing it back in my head I realized how much fun I had. Am a person who enjoys the simple things in life and this one was a simple affair but just made my day. 

My Visit to my Native. . .

It been long since I have written. So again I have revamped my blog but am giving no promises of regular posts. I will try to post something regularly.

So For this beginning I think Christmas is the right time. Merry Christmas to all. . .

Are you wondering what initiated this post? As I was telling everyone I was lacking inspiration but the best inspiration was in my very own hands. That was; my travel to my native. My son is now 10 months and old enough to observe everything around him and enjoy everything. I found myself showing him all those green fields you see when you are near the station. Then I understood what had been just a vacation for me with my family could be an unbelievable experience for my son. I could see him wide eyed and observing everything.

The food experiences are nothing short of excitement for my son, looking at the trees, plants, flowers, birds, cats everything you don’t get to see in my apartment. I then understood how privileged I had been. He never has his food inside probably except his dinner. He enjoys the sounds of the birds and loves watching the cat running around. I enjoy watching him; stare at everything with unbridled joy and pleasure. It is such a treat to watch him enjoy all the things I grew up with.

I can’t wait to take him to the beach. We got loads of beaches around here. I enjoy beaches immensely and I don’t mean the crowded ones (not that I don’t like them) but those deserted ones with probably a few families here and there. I want to see if he enjoys it. I have taken him to beach before but it was at night so there was nothing for him to enjoy. But trust me when I say this is absolutely the wrong season to visit a beach here in Nagercoil. Not that it prevents us from visiting the beach; we go there against all odds.

First view of Glasgow

Elizabeth helped us with arranging cars and we started to office. OMG Galsgow is so beautiful with so much trees, peace, and beautiful greenery. The houses all looked a little thrown back in era compared to the modern world but there is where the beauty lies. You should see the scenery outside the office window. Such a perfect environment to work. And returning back we decided to investigate more ways to reach hotel and we tried taking a bus and then a subway. It was tiring a little but then when I am subjected to such lovely beauty it all fades at the back. Since we had decided to walk around a little we took the Byres road. Tell You wat 75% of the shops were closed. This wasn't wat I had expected. The cold was starting to get us through the leather gloves too. AFter doing some teeny weeny bit shopping and dinner we started to walk to the hotel following the directions"Take tht right, walk straight, take the first right and walk staight ahead. You will find it." We walked, walked and walked. Sorry we climbed, climbed and climbed and then we reached our hotel. And again all I cud do is go to bed straight ofcourse after dinner of a subway sandwich. 2 days of sandwiches *faints* *thud*.

Friday wasn't as eventful. . . had a walk of 2.5 hrs in the botanical gardens. Such a beautiful place off the highway. An idle walk and lots and lots of pictures. On the way back we decided to visit a 24/7 shop run by our neighbour as he says . . . a pakistani. Very helpful, answering our questions about asian markets and volunteering information for us, just as a good neighbour does. Then again back to the room . . . this time not to bed. I was so relaxed to go to bed. SO I decided to write my blog. Now as I have finished it am gonna post it and then head back out again, with more information and stuff to post here.

Visit to UK and my first taste of UK

I boarded my flight on wednesday morning. I had left home with confidence. Wat I didnt expect was the tears threatening to fall. Just cudnt a put a finger on why I felt so. The flight was a little tiring with travelling for 14 hrs straight and then boarding the flight to Glasgow from London Heathrow airport. It was all as I had expected. A busy airport very much business like. But the moment changed when I was flying to glasgow. Such a beautiful country. If the cloud permits you, , , all u can see is green green and more green. And somewhere in middle you can see a beautiful place with all identical roofed houses(thts all I can see from tht height, he he) and clear paths. Very wonderfully planned. And moving towards glasgow there's lot of those green fields and now its all dotted with white spots. . . I guess its all cows. I cud seeter a lot still on the way to office. We landed at glasgow and we had to call the hotel before reaching there. So we decided to buy a sim on the way to the hotel and tried to tke a taxi. Unfortunately the taxi driver didnt know abt the route. Still he got the address and took us to a mall where I can get sim. Everywhere everyone was so helpful. No frowning or anything. Scotland was all I expected and more. After the help from the sales person who volunteerly helped by guiding to the right kind of sim we needed we go it and left to the hotel. The rest of the journey was calls to family and friends. Reaching the hotel, we just wanted to reach the rooms and then Bed and we did just tht. But we were careful not to sleep coz' the best way to fight jet lag is to try following the time zone of the place we are in.We met Elizabeth, the owner and then walked into our apartment. OMG it was beautiful. A little rundown but was stright out of books with a fireplace, a rug in front of it and lovely couches where am now writing this from. I just peeped into a room just like the living room, big beds, windows and a beautiful lawn in front of the window. Wat more do I need. Tell me?????

Starting my blog again

Hi all,I know I know . . . Havent been here as much as I wud like to. But the truth is tht I was going through an important phase in my life and was very well engrossed in it. I got engaged last Feb and married in May.Well am not going to go deep into that. And after that now in UK.

And after being in such a beautiful country, I have decided to write a blog whenever I can. I see beautiful people, nature at its utmost beauty and the touch of GOD every where and I thought this is absolute heaven. Trust me . . . This is heaven.

So after this introduction, The daily blog starts again. Keep following.

Cartoon Video

I should be offended by this video but I find it funny instead, except the part of blood even though its a cartoon.

Sour moods 2

Ah!!!!!!!!!! am in one of my sour moods again. Can't believe I have these so often now-a-days and to top it all I spent the whole day at office and again 5 more days. Really this sucks.

Not that I hate this job but I honestly dunno why. May be am in time for my long pending vacation. But I can do only one of the following. Go to Rock on!! gig in Bangalore or to my friend Nawin's wedding or a family trip somewhere for my dad's B'day. But I wanna do all!!!!!!!!!!!! How would it be if I can take a vacation for 2 weeks . . . Absolute heaven but if only wishes were horses . . .
