Too many things over the last one year! It feels nice to look back a bit to realize how much grateful I should be for all the good things in my life over the last one year. And even more grateful for all the support from all the lovely people at various stages, moments, situations in my life. 2017 takes a page in my diary for so many reasons... I figured out that I must work!! I learned all over again, what it is like to face rejects in the job market! I learned to believe in my prayers better when some of them got answered! I knew that the saying  " Ask and you shall receive " is often true. I had to ask for every single thing I wanted! It is also the year when I ... took the first step out of my house after my children were born... first was away from kids and cried more than them when I had to send them off to the daycare at school... come back every day anxious to see my children's facial expressions and read their minds... They can't yet ...

A recent English movie had stirred up my head about the concept of love... Not that I am the first person questioning this big word LOVE, but it still is okay to rant about it...

That goes to say that Love between a pet and you is not same as the love between you and your son. However, the joy that the love causes only varies by degrees. Joy there is. :) Love there is!!! What I am not saying is, of course, the pain, the hurt, the disappoint...

Recently I joined work after a long break of seven years. Which means, I am a fresher to the current setup in the IT offices. Yes or no?? Yes, I think so. With my conservative looks and modern thoughts ( that's what I believe, God knows if everyone thinks the same way too) I can easily pass off as a middle-aged woman ( lady?!) who can accept nonsense better than I could ten years ago. People who have met me ten years ago should meet me now, to check this statement of mine! A cold and slow morning in Bangalore... I was wrapped in Sweater and scarf and battling a severe cold with a steaming hot cup of green tea ( !!!, I know.. I don't believe this too) and struggling to write one line which was definitely luring. After the tenth edit of the line, I kind of gave up and stood up for a break which is usually turning my eyes off the screen to change the line of sight for a few minutes.. so I get a different angle practically and it may sometimes work well for the sentence in the...
