Waves that never cease!

A visit to beach was long overdue, with it just 6 kms away, find it hard to think we hardly make up a trip. By the time we finally found a spot to park the car, it was pretty late. That didn't daunter us from going further. After a ride on the artifical car and bike, we went to the beach.

All of them went to water, while I stayed back. Its been years now, really years since I lost my need to get into the water. Somehow I find it so strange. How one changes over years! Beach for me, meant getting drenched. There was never an occasion when I would get away without a dip in the deep. Now I hardly find the inclination.

I rather sit back and enjoy the serene feeling that gets over me. With my family just close enough enjoying the joy only a beach can get, I look fondly at memories that gush by. With cool breeze carressing your skin, you feel the salty sand on the tongue. Was it only yesterday or years that passed by?

With waves gushing in with so much force, with a passion overflowing. Only to retreat back the moment it touches the shore. Oh how I wish time stands still..I know there have been many such moments and many more to come. Only I may never again wish so much to dip myself again.

My brows crank with smiles hearing the kids shouting, I see my own childhood spent the same way. I dont' have to live my childhood again, I can do that with my kids. Seeing them enjoy with boundless joy at the waves that want to hit hard, I remember the days that have gone away. And rejoice the moment that it was...

A New Beginning...

There are moments in life that clearly mark the end of a period and the start of new era!
Like when you complete your board exams and know for sure whatever happens,
that period will never again be back.

Today marks the end of one such time and makes way for new exciting days to come.
I write these words with joy, anticipation, anxiety, excitement and many more.
With hopes of good things to come our way, with determination to make it work,
come what may our way!

Getting detached to become more focused!

Today, hopefully the first of many days to come, I decided to get detached from things that makes me attached to it, rather than the other way.

During the time I am online to get work done, the different windows that are open are my different email accounts in different browsers, Social Networks etc etc. I hate seeing an email unread or yet to be replied. So I instantly have to reply back. Many have complimented on my quick response. But I know how much that costs. Rather than working on the post or editing the pictures for the post, or researching for the book, I will be researching on what needs to be replied.

Of course, replies need to be immediate not necessarily instant. I need to get more focused on the work on hand. If I need to write or reach my target every day, I need to be focused and not let 101 things distracting me.

So I logged into my email accounts only about 4 times today. Social Networks about couple of times. Let me see how this works out and how many pages I end up writing!

Life is like a kite

Life is like a kite, with all the freedom it has, it flutters its wings,
free in the open space, blowing as the wind blows.
But as the string that holds it back to ground,
You need to have such strings to hold you back to ground,
Remind you of things that are more solid, that have more values
than thinking on the fly and living life on whims and fancies.
Stronger the thread, better it can hold you,
Enjoy the winds that blow your way, never get blown away!

Nostalgic Times!

This day as I wrote the date, it struck me that its another month to go!

Another month by which everything changes and it will never come back to today.

I have many aspirations to meet and do and hopefully this year,will mark the time to check them right!

And every single day from now seems more so important. Though every year this day seems too large, off late, I feel so relieved when the day gets over and I feel I can get back being normal!

Yet this time I feel different in a different. Not because of any jublilation in mind. Far from it, those come only after I achieve what's in front of me!

Legs up on a holiday!

We had a day off on account of Republic day and spent most of the day planning to go out. Finally we did for a Republic day celebration in our club. The kids had a field day and you can expect how it must have been for the adults. We again decided we were right in thinking never to take the kids out! None of them eat, other than drinking those Maazas, Fantas...

This picture of Peddu shows their freaking day out!

Strange as it may Sound!

Sometimes strange as it may sound, many things happen after you do something unexpected! And all for your own good.

Example of this could be what happened with Facebook Fan page for Cooking 4 all Seasons.

This morning I reached 100 fans for the page and I was really excited as the page forever had some technical problem and wouldn't load for many who said they couldn't' become Fans of the page. I was always feeling embarrassed from the beginning for having created. Now I have to go tell everybody about it? Surely not.

So it was left on its own and I never did anything about it.

Until this morning, when I thought I will share that small piece of info on my FB profile that the page reached its 100! Imagine my shock when I hear from so many that they didn't know about the page and they were upset on not getting an invite!!

Well good news is about 45 people joined since morning after that little status update!

Goes to show how small things can have big returns! Everything in life is so. Never hesitate to do what is required to do your part. Never thing of the final result before even attempting it.

Things will happen Finally!
