A day in my life....






Lately I have been feeling as if some sort of darkness has took over me...ya well it may seem bit scary and melodramatic but what I am trying to say is that I feel bogged down, lost in some sort of melancholy, I am constantly sad and I can't seem to point on my finger on what is it?..I used to be such an active person, buzzing with energy, full of social life, and constantly doing something or the other and now...it seems that a cloud of laziness, lethargy is always over my head and my mood is gloomy,and in the mornings, I don't feel like talking to anyone, I just enjoy the morning long drive to my office, its calm, quite and green...
*******************************************
I reach office and I feel its my moral obligation to not let my personal exclusive cloud that is always over my head, burst on anyone else and unnecessary drench them...so I try to change my mood and I do tend to take control of the situation...office goes well..
********************************************
I return back home, again the long drive...and again that cloud seems to appear...accompanying me back home...I try to shoo it off...drive it away but I feel that it's growing on me...I try to adopt  a different approach..not paying attention to it at all..but it is still there...thundering...
*****************************************************
This is the story so far....

I dream-part 2

I am a lot into dreaming nowadays or may be a lot of jotting my thoughts on fibers of cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets, I mean paper :) My Grey Matter  is quite active nowadays...I have a written a piece today in the series , I dream....I had posted one yesterday as well...It somehow comes naturally to me...visions about hills, dales, snow laden valleys,fields of blooming flowers...yes, all this is an integral part of me...my being...

I dream of a dream...sometimes with eyes closed and oftenly with open eyes....
I dream of a snow laden valley covered in fresh falling snow.....
I dream of a cat hiding away...under the roof with a red bow...
I dream of smoke emerging from roof tops....
I dream of streets with ginger fragrant shops....
I dream of a patch of land from which a tiny beautiful tulip pushes its way to outside....
I dream of a butterfly that waits eagerly it to bloom, as to the beauty, its heart is tied...
I dream of a valley covered with golden daffodils...
I dream of a lighthouse, of swaying wind mills...
I dream of a river...wide and rude...
I dream I could sit near it all day and lighten my mood...
I dream of woods, pure and green....
I dream of woods, where I oftenly will be seen...
I dream of weeping willow, I dream of birch trees...
I dream of fireflies and bumble bees...
I dream of the melody of whistling wind...
I dream of fragrance of camphor and orange rind....
I dream of a dream....I dream with open eyes....

Happy monday :)

I dream...

I dream of a dream...sometimes with my eyes closed and most of the times with open eyes...I dream of a house of my own, which has my essence, my breath. I dream of my own house with a beautiful big garden, full of flowers, a botanical wonderland, which buzzes with bees and birds, croaks with toads and crows, flutters with butterflies and dragonflies...which shelters nature and its beings....I dream of my own house with wide French windows..which opens a vista of beauty outside as far as eyes can see, which splatters rain all over in stormy days and nights, where I sit in my arm chair holding a cup of warm masala tea and I get absorbed in the drops of rain, my eyes tracing them in their due course and eventually out of sight......where I see the dawn, the first ray of sunshine and stars at night....I dream of a house with a porch, where I vacillate in my swing...back and froth...and I inhale a fresh breeze mixed with mint, chamomile, rose, jasmine, sweet briar and so many other floras’, where fireflies join their hand together to form a cornet around my head..and butterfly adorns my wrist like a bracelet....I dream of a house with an asphalt path leading me to a calm and serene lake nearby....where swans greet me by  moving in water with elegance and style.....where lotus refreshes my eyes with its charming beauty.....I dream of a house where there is a wooden bench underneath an old birch tree...where I sit and read my book....where I inscribe my poetry.......I dream of a house, where from the doorway my beloved calls me....to share his thoughts and caresses.....I dream of a house.....I dream with open eyes.....

Celebrations-Akash's 30th birthday

Its was Akash's 30th birthday this Thursday...whohooo...he just turned 30th and he still seems to me that "charming college boy", time really flies by...it does!! however I am still so much in love with him...Well for this birthday, I decided to take him along to Baker for his choice of cake...I thought of engaging him in everything rather than surprisingly jumping out with a cake at 12.00 midnight, I have done that for years but this time I thought of something else, I thought of going with him instead to pick up his choice of cake...which worked out perfectly as planned, I chose rather I will say he immediately fell in  love with mango and cream cake..this was a different flavor for both us and it turned out to be delish...

In the morning we went to Indian Habitat Center http://www.indiahabitat.org/main.htm  an amazing place...rays of sunlight sliced through beautiful palm trees, birds were chirping high up and breeze squeezed through tightly knit needle shaped leaves...to sum it up...it was a calm composed beautiful place. we enjoyed our breakfast in All American Diner...She- eggs and bacon and He- waffle sandwich with an amazing cafe late'...(you should really try that), in between we talked and talked and talked, both of us really needed a break from the monotonous routine...office-home, office -home,and at the end of the day...we both fall asleep as soon as the cheek meets the pillow...exhausted, We really  needed this little time together with one another..I clicked few pictures and then we went to Hauz khas..were Akash ended up buying me a satchel....from there we took it to Select city  we spend good amount of time in crosswords, book shop....at the end of the day..both us were so tired that we went to salon..He-Foot massage and She-Head massage.

This was an amazing birthday that we have ever celebrated...and we are looking forward to another one....even better than this one ;)

Super Sunday

Hooohaaa....I am loving it.It was super duper Soggy Sunday. I love rain and not to mention I have stressed on this fact many a times, and I love to just roam around in rain, so last Sunday we (me and husband) planned a day out, we had to visit a new wed friends place.
We went to CP and good gracious I missed not a single tiny opportunity to click a picture and I clicked everthing and everyone I loved, and people also supported me by giving their precious time and smiles for the clicks.It was not raining that heavily, just slight drizzling. We got chocolates for the couple and enjoyed a finger licking good food, shared few of our memories over a cup of warming masala tea. They had a beautiful terrace which we utilized to the fullest for clicking pictures and sharing giggles in the rain.

On the way back home, we again hopped to CP, although I had planned to gift Akash a wrist watch but I couldn't keep myself from asking him to choose one for himself...so it was not a surprise anymore...we ended up buying one then and there as his birthday will be on Thursday, 20th June, and it would have been difficult for me to take time out from office to buy the watch....so that means surprise is no more a surprise and I would have to think of some other surprise gift besides watch that he already has now...apart from this everything was great, anyways I will think of something as well :)

May seem to be an overload of pics but I couldn't help myself from uploading all ;)
