Back again - and know not what to do!

Ya ya... I know... I keep disappearing for ages and then re-appear!
No more excuses, I have been lazy - very Lazy!

That apart - I also did't have much to write about! Then you'll wonder if I am going to write anything of substance now - the answer to that is that NO.

Life is just going onnnnnnn...... hmmm... I think I should have an affair - It will pep things up a bit! But then I get to meet no man interesting - well - that is apart from Sujit! And he is my husband - so there is no point in the affair! :(

Hmmmm....

Another month gone

Phew... how time flies....
Its been a month since I wrote anything on you my dear Merry Times.

This past month has been extremely painful month for me... what with my vertebra's acting like a stiff rod with electric jolts ever so often... Am debating on surgery or ayurveda....

Sometimes I think what the h*** as well get the surgery... but then there is chorus, who don't want me to take this option or rather are advising caution.

That apart... I seem to be missing out on all actions in the conference team so far - for the first event I was on LTA, for the second event my little fellow was not keeping well and now my health has given way... I think my tenure in this team is jinxed!!! Hmmmm....

On Chandra and Being Single

This post is dedicated to 'My Friend Chandra'!

Well to quote him "I am wondering what is happening to male members in the Indian society? Suddenly there are voices stemming in support of men. May be the Indian version of “Save the Males” is going on? "

:) Chandra is valliantly single and feels the need to reiterate his singlehood to get through to all 'un-single'people.... he feels threatened and his non marital status questioned, when he is surrounded by his fav mylai mamis!!! Many a times, I am lost in mirth at his urgent explanations, there are times when I join the mamis in chorus on the merits marriage and then there are times when I quietly accept his take on bachelorhood!

Recently, one of his posts on trials of bachelordom was published in Times of India, since then he has assumed an air of righteousness of cause for bachelordom.

I however, look at it as the drowning indignant voice of bachelordoom!!!

(Disclaimer: I have no vested interest in promoting marriage as a successful institution. I have no disagreements against the cause for greater bachelorhood)

The need for passion!

A spark of fire
brings light
A ray of sunlight
Brings hope

What I need is a ray of light

A drop of honey
sweetens
A lime tart
makes a good bite

What i need is a drop of lime

A humming bird
brings speed
A taylor bird
brings art

What I need is speed and art

A jasmine
brings perfume
A passion fruit
means passion

What I need is a new perfume :) and some passion!!!

On Motherhood

I read so many posts on motherhood... and somewhere along the way I feel that I must post something about my son too!!! I feel I am being negligent about my little one by not putting him on my blog....

So here are photos of 5 month old, 1 year old, 1and 1/2 year old & 2 year old Dhruv!!!! The latest I'll update shortly.






On what he is up to .... I mentioned in an earlier post about his trip to Pre-school... Well he goes to his pre-school now albeit tearlessly... but with great sorrow.... Every day morning - my home is a war zone - filled with tears and recrimations!

Well he is likely to cry for the next 17 years... he has to go to school... so I suppose all practice is good practice!

And then there is Christine

She carries the burden
the burden of the world
her shoulders are bent
and she stumbles

But then...
she looks up to the good Lord
and she draws
she draws her strength

Afterall...
she thinks..
Poor man he suffered so...
then why wouldn't I suffer

So on she goes...
In her march to eternal kingdom
suffering persecutions
loudly going crazy

Once upon a time...
she had a sound mind
she had a clear smile
But now... well I let it be unsaid

Well what more can I say
she has all the trappings
She is of the right make
there is no doubt in me

That she is st.Christine!

Three cheers to this most hon'ble saint!

With lots of love just for you Chris!!!!!!!!
