The Yin Yang of daily life...Dillema

Small things...silly questions...false hopes...a little bitterness...some dreams...

But trying to be happy no matter what...Life!

I don’t know why Bhai didn’t tell me that he’s coming to India in May

But I am glad that he and Puru are coming

I’m a little hurt because Priya didn’t invite me to her sister’s wedding

But I think I wouldn’t have been in town anyway

I don’t like not being a great cook

But I know that I can cook well enough to survive

I am very sad that Chikoo left us all forever

But I am glad she lived most of her life sharing joy and cheer

I totally hate having pimples on my face

But am elated when they dissapear

I hated it when Rohan shouted at me in the staff room

But am glad my co-faculty wasn’t aroound

I hate myself for not waking up even when the alarm rings

But I am glad I have someone around to do the waking up

I don’t know whether to look for a job or keep doing what I am doing

But I know that I have to have an income

I dislike the fact that I don’t have a toned, leaner body

But I love the fact that I have a healthy one

I hate not having the confidence to drive after having driven 4 years back

But am glad I at least learnt it

I hate not being as active in Rotaract these days

But I know that I have certain more important things to do

I’m jealous because we meet Rohit’s old friends more often

But I have started making them my friends as well

I am unhappy at times because Rohit earns much more than me

But I am glad that I am not dependent on him for money

I have always hated being the single child

But I know that my parents have tried to give me all they could

I am clueless as to why I am writing this blog...perhaps I can’t always have someone who can listen to my cribbing and give me a pep talk...so I better find out ways to pep up myself from gloomy stuff!!

Huh...madness and me!

Andaman - Paradise of Blue

The first glimpse... vast blue, dotted with green
Refreshing
Journeys... pleasant filled with the aroma of non-pollution
Pure
People... hospitable, eager to help
Friendly

History...one that should make any Indian proud
Its not just an island that reminds one of 'Sazaa-e-KaalaPaani'
Its not 'just a jail' where people were deported to
Its a place that transports you to an environment that
makes you think of, if not realise what went into us being ' Swadheen' on our land
Intriguing

Sights... vast, endless expanse of blue...sometimes green...
Nature... as nature should be
As we once would sketch in our 'drawing books'
Enchanting

Blue... it had always been my favourite colour
I fell in love with it like never before

One... fresh from the laundry
(read Enid Blyton's to know this! Anne couldn't have agreed more)
Dotted with soft white candy floss
The other... seemingly calm, portraying four shades in one span, one glance
Tiny ripples, don't bother her... waves lead her to the static land awaiting her touch
Within her she lets immense life thrive... in a world of their own
Hidden from our usual view... a world that is rich, colourful, vibrant
Mesmerizing

We didn't go to an international vacation to Mauritius, Bali or Singapore
We just experienced the Andaman Islands...
Could paradise offer us more?
