I Can Do It! This is something, I keep telling myself, when I start doubting the progress of things. I am not a quitter. Well, I do not think there is anything wrong in being a quitter either. Sometimes it is good to quit one thing, for something better. However, we are conditioned to try…

Making Memories

It is strange how every day looks the same when you look from afar. Doing the mundane jobs that every day is filled with. What you need to do is look close. Close, because there will be so many moments of joy and gratitude that you will miss out otherwise. I am blessed with a…

The Birthday Bash

We had the birthday celebration for Gundu last Sunday. We had organized a Pooja, which was followed by cake cutting and lunch. I had a great time planning this first birthday for my darling son. I know he won’t remember any of it, but then what are photographs for? What started off with a discussion…

Travel Diaries – Mangalore

This year has started off great in terms of travel for us. In fact, since the end of last year itself. We went to Waynad with the sister’s family during the Christmas weekend, to Chennai during the Republic Day weekend and to Mangalore the last weekend. It may seem like a lot of travel to…

U – Unwind

People have a variety of ways to unwind. Some listen to music, some paint, some just put their legs up and watch TV and some take a nap! Though all of these are valid for me at different times, having a nice conversation is what is most relaxing. I had never been the child who…

Just 5 alphabets done and am already here, trying to meet the deadline by drafting a post at 11 in the night. Though I had this topic on my mind all day, first I couldn’t find the time due to work throughout the day and then I had my friend come over to my place…

D – Daddy

Come June, it’ll be 4 years. I keep counting don’t I? There’s nothing else that I can do either. Things have changed quite a lot since you have gone, but I must agree that time has healed the wounds to an extent. I was working the other day with my nose behind the laptop, when…

B – Books

I still have to catch up with the post for B, ain’t I? From writing nothing for months to writing two posts a day. So unlike me. But a challenge is a challenge and I need to try at least a decent amount before giving up. 😉 I have been trying to get back my…

A – April

Not that I intended to participate or that I had any such plans. I usually used to notice that the A-Z challenge has started, nearly a week after it had. That meant I couldn’t catch up anyway. 😛 I had taken up this challenge once before. Today when I realized that it’s been just two…
