Lets start over

Dear Diary,
Sometimes in life we forget some of the amazing things we did or experiences which have had.You are one such case, I suddenly remembered I had you and then search stared.Had to struggle a bit get the password and URL but somehow managed to get back to you.

One page of you and loads of memories gushed out of nowhere and I was transported to back in time.It was so nice to read you ,actually those post were written during the trying times to get the perception of what was happening around.

Its been year since we have meet and lots of things have happened and nothing went documented.Life went in auto-pilot mode.There were loads of incidences which should have been documented and cherished but nothing of that sort happened.

The experience made me realize that its worth documenting the life as it goes by

So have decided that no matter what, will start documenting the day or at least will put a post per week.May be a week recap.


Here I am documenting 25th Jul of 2017 as it went :


Ms Lovely started without giving much trouble.As you know she is bike which I use to commute everyday.She is blessing in disguise as she saves approximately 1 hr of the day and also ensures that no matter where I am , I always reach my home back safely.
Planning to send for repair.

It dint rain yesterday while commute which means crisp clothes in office (read blasting AC)

Dinner was good too,ordered by one of the family friend.

One of know person lets call N is suffering from health issues.They have aggravated in small time span. This reminds me how blessed each one of us is to have healthy body.

Watched Bhulbhuliya after long time and this time from beginning to end.It was pure treat to watch.

I have an intention to utilize my day more productively,have times reserved for everything and yet have sometime to spend with family.I hope  I am able to do so.

On the travel front,approvals are still pending and I hope that its gets sorted soon. I am really grateful to how the life is unfolding and what all big changes and turn it is about to take.I am excited and nervous at same time.

One of the quote which I read today and made too much sense to ,would like to say here and keep it forever:

                       Faith is small word,but has supreme implications.The problem today is that,
                           we have doubts in our faith and have full faith in our doubts.

So lets not loose faith and move ahead.

Day #8 I am GRATEFUL for...

I realized that its been almost a month,I dint write anything new.Well this time I had a valid reason,not a simple excuse for not writing.I had to travel to Singapore on 26th so was all tided up with all the arrangements.Latter on finding place to stay,moving from hotel to an apartment and huge pile of work
I could not write here at all.

Well sometimes life has different ways of surprising you.This trip is one of it.It was not planned at all and when it was told to we were expected to fly sometime in July.So end of May is truly surprising.

• Well first of all among team of six,to be chosen is something to be really grateful for.I am so very happy elated and grateful too that I have been chosen to be here.
• Well this is not first time that I am in Singapore ,last time when I was leaving,I surely wanted to visit here once again,complete my shopping list,but never thought that I would be coming back.So I am truly grateful that I could come here once again.
• All formalities were completed well within time and hassle free.Really grateful for it.
• Well over all experience of journey was magnificent.I say so because first of all,airline agreed to top up my luggage by 10kg just for free. Isn't it amazing.I am truly grateful for same.
• Well company provided cab was awesome.All by myself,my first ever chauffeur driven car experience was amazing.Journey was superb and awesome at same time :)

• Thank God for hassle free check-in,immigration and security check.Thought this is not my first international journey,but still these things make me anxious in no measure.
• What I saw around was sheer abundance,joy,enthusiasm.I had lots of tourist co-passengers.There was this glitter in their eyes,which made you pepped up instantly.There was this family who was at their first international holiday.Kids were so elated that you couldn't stop being happy with them.
• Well there was pretty good collection of movies for a change and I am grateful that I could watch two beautiful movies - Life of Pi and Chicken Khurana. Both amazing movies in their own ways.

All in all a very good experience. 

Day #7 I am GRATEFUL for..

Over the weekend I visited to my friends(lets call her M) place.I meet her family,well Mom for the first time.Her mother greeted me with open heart.I had heard about her many times.I found her very jovial,loving and caring person.She is so full of love and enjoys her life completely.

Unfortunately she had meet with an accident few years ago.In last three years she had been through major operation and then been under various therapies including speech as well.She very proudly told us about all she had done through her life pre-accident like being a singer,dance ,TT player etc.She told us how grateful was she that now she need not depend on any one for her daily needs.She cooks for her family,supervises her house helps,goes for walk and now can recognise each and every member of her family.She was so enthusiastic about regaining her reading and writing skills.

I was really moved and inspired from her.How easily we show disrespect towards our body and how ungrateful we tend to be .What we tend to forget is ,our body is God's own unique creation.Miracle in its own way.If we can walk from one room to another.that's the blessing,seeing,sense of smell,touch every thing is blessing.

Day#5 I am GRATEFUL for...

Well,I am back after big gap of 12 days :( but bright side is that I am continuing it,that's was the whole reason to put my gratitude list here on this blog.I knew at least I will come back and write.

All these while I have been enjoying reading all the blogs,but never realised efforts which all the bloggers put in to write something each and every time.Better than what they did last time.Kudos to all of them.

Well,it is said that 'The Love of a family is life's greatest blessing'.Nothing can replace this love.Having a family is the best blessing anyone can have.This weekend while I was visiting my family,it dawned on me that these are only people in my life which keeps me moving in life.Where ever they are,that is home,a peaceful,joyful place.

I am not talking about only my parents and sisters however each and every member of my family,who has touched my life since Iwere born.Sometime aspired me to be like them,sometimes taught me not be like them.

• Earlier that touch of affection mattered more than the way of expression.A kiss-me-bar brought by uncle, made him your favourite and somewhere thought giving and sharing.I am grateful for every single gesture of such kindness offered to me,which made me feel loved and taught me to love

• Well longevity runs in our family.I had played with both my great grandmother(Fathers grandmother and my mothers grandmother)I am truly grateful for both of them.The numerous stories which were narrated to me.They were full of suspense,drama but had high dose of moral values.Yes I still remember few of their stories ,which I am sure were made up them to let me know how being naughty or greedy was not good.I use to get chance to visit them during summer vacation .I just use to wait for it.With them around I never needed anyone,with them I use to be happiest.With there departure,they thought me a biggest lesson, everyone remembers you by the way you touched their life,how you changed them and yes sometimes you miss the memories more than person.

• Till last year I had both my paternal & maternal grandparents were healthy and alive.Well each one had different way of showing their love.My native place is in village so it use to be completely different from visit my maternal place.Gardening ,climbing trees,picking up fresh mangoes use to be part of my summer vacation course with them :P :P.We had a dog and a cow's family with us.Being at their place I learned to be kind to animals.

• Being at my mom's place use to be always a different experience.There was this disciplined environment.Life use to run as per clock,however afternoons were fun.I learned embroidery(which I don't remember at all now :P),cooking there.I am grateful that I got these wonderful grandparents.

• I feel truly blessed to have family like mine.My parents are supper supportive in whatever we do and I guess this must me like living in heaven,having your guardian angles look at you all the time.They are the reason of every goodness which I have in me now.

• I am happy and grateful that we are constantly with me,helping me guiding me.It is like they feel all the emotions which I feel,they are happy when I am and sad when I am .But never fails to make me believe that there is silver lining in every dark could

• I am grateful to have best sister in this world.She is best thing that ever happened to me.Constant sister,friend and devil,she is all in one. :)

I want to go back home now..I am missing home..sob sob :(

Day#4 I am GRATEFUL for

I read it some where that 'You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream'.Well true, as dreamers we can never stop dreaming.Every moment of the day that passes by either we are dreaming or hoping that a dream comes true.They can be different for each of us like from being an astronaut to own a business,from marry our prince charming or to be a mother,from owning a car to have a beautiful home to return.A dream/fantasy/ambition is what  makes you keep moving in life.

When I was child, would always gaze out of window lost in my dreams and then will be caught my teacher in the middle of class(especially during History/Geography/Civic classes).I remember an hour long journey from my school to home and loads of series of dreams.It would be any thing right from having  Aladin's lamp to meet SRK or brains to remember Maths formula.

These dreams somewhere or the other kept me through the thick and thin of my life.I would dream my life as an adult,how will it be,where will I go and what will I do.So here I am,a blessed being, living the life of my dreams Most of them got fulfilled and ones which dint,it does not matter now.

Today I am grateful for the higher Thee/GOD who fulfilled my dreams.

• As a kid I loved chat,we use to quite away from city,so it use to be once or twice a month feast for me.I always would dream that when I am big I will be always be able to have chat whenever I wanted to have.That's where I live now.I have this 3-4 chat stalls near my place,I can enjoy it n number of time.Its all together a different story that I dont eat it that often now.
• I always dreamt of going abroad for holidays and I am truly grateful for 2 wonderful holidays which I had in 2011.It calls for another post all together.But as a child it was a big dream of mine.
• I wanted to work abroad.I am so truly grateful that I got a chance of working in Singapore .There I meet few amazing people and had a best time of my life.It taught me a lession that,every thing happens for a reason,works in your best interest at an appropriate time.
• I always dreamt of being a teacher,(I so wanted to be life my favourite teacher)well I dint become a teacher but fortunately I got an experience in teaching due to my job.
• I had studied in KV,which usually use to be n army campus.One of my school was on top of a small hill.View from my class use to be amazing.I always dreamt of staying in such surrounding.Well I was grateful to live in such a vicinity.Our flat was on top of the hill from there you could see beautiful river flowing and sun rising.It was truly amazing.
• I dreamt of para-sailing since I landed in Goa and never got a chance to do it .When I went for holiday,I got a chance to do it there.I was so delighted.I can never forget that experienceand always be grateful for it.
• This one is my favourite song by ABBA.The charm of dreams..  

I have a dream, a song to sing

To help me cope with anything

If you see the wonder of a fairy tale

You can take the future even if you fail

I believe in angels

Something good in everything I see

I believe in angels

When I know the time is right for me

I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream

Lyrics Source - Google

There are few more which are yet to come true and that's what makes me hopeful for beautiful tomorrow.But I am grateful that I have a heart which beats and dreams,which cries when they shatter and gets delighted in their fulfilment.
