In the middle

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

And the week is going slow …  am waiting for the weekend.. as Rocks will be back and I will have someone to talk to besides the walls ,… he he he…

Running around with errands and stuff, did not enable me to spend some time with my birds and I was feeling sad..

Today I commit to go early and let them out and talk to them non stop and have them fly and whistle and run around as they like..

Sometimes, I wonder, how it would be if  I was so dependent to have someone let me out and take me out and have some fun.  I see this specially of the older generation who have come at a stage where they have to depend on their young ones to take them out or generally spend time with them. Its must be like living in a cage for them who once were the very epitome of independence and self sufficient individuals..

And when such a situation is there, it is very important to understand the responsibility of the younger generation who is so busy running after money and the next best job and really do not have that time to stop, think and work around the very mastheads which flagged us off. Its a continuous circle and its never too late to look back at the twilight zone which we inevitably will step into after sometime..

So well, when do you say : its enough and well I think I have enough..

What is enough for you ? Have you thought about it ?

We plan to retire early and we plan to do this and that but the next best opportunity always draws us in and we keep riding the tiger..

Well, this thought has sprung from the seed where I am thinking of saying its enough.. and leave it at that..

Now I dont want to think backwards.. but forwards… once its enough, how do we sustain ourselves materialistically and with the priorities that we have in our basket of life..

I dont know.. I am still thinking.. and maybe soon I hope to get an answer..

My dream right now : An open terrace cafe in a semi residential area where people can sip a cup of chai and snacks and have conversations.. some live music if needed by local folk musicians.. and some business from the local craft makers..  variety not in the food but in the events.. ( sigh)

Let me dream.. !!

its friday.. wheeee

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Well I just felt like shouting that..

The mind per say is a funny tool.. when one least expects it, there are some ping pong which plays up BANG comes up the impulses..

So well I acted on it and I am happy.. he he.. I love listening to my impulses..

The serious part encouraged me to try Ayurveda so went and enrolled myself for a treatment..

Methinks that its always good to take care of oneself.. and since I have not tried Ayurveda.. well lets do it.. and I did it..

And now I have some weird tasting medicines to take in the morning and the doc has promised me of some deep rooted recovery.. or whatever.

Now I am not a fan of medicines specially of the Allopathy nature.. but yes.. natural remedies always is good. .

The doc was good and the treatment sounds encouraging..

It did burn a hole in the already holed pocket.. ( lets not ponder there)

But health is wealth so here I am.. the paper kind comes  and goes..

Grocery Shopping has now become complicated.

I think I have not reached that mindset where I do a detailed research on what I buy.. Nope I buy by instinct and of course the date on the packet.

Now when I go browse the rice, lentil, grains, pulses and beans, section , I am flummoxed by the local variety, the organic variety and the normal variety.. WAHHHHH !!

Now this purchase which used to take me seconds..  now takes me couple of valuable minutes.. Why why why… I am like what do I take.. organic – well that seems to be the fad.. and healthy as well and expensive.. – local – hmm could be good.. – normal – whats the diff.. I usually take that..

Now you can see me with my tiny hands on my chin… pondering upon this rack with the concentration of deliberating over a critical life and death decision..

I caught myself at it and could not help berate myself for being so fussy.. Gosh !! and POP I go and choose an organic packet of Black Channa and normal Dal and another local Dal..

Well !!! ,  me says to myself,  that should do it !! I have the best of all the three.

Result : When I come home..

  • local – is ok..
  • Normal is normal..
  • Organic is interesting – the channas look good but inside its full of insects which has eaten it hollow..

Well there goes my choices.. I will stick to the NORMAL.. for now..

I think this organic concept has not been understood well or the product was bad.. whatever.. !!! OR my vision is also going bonkers. The packet looked just fine when I picked it up..

Anyway..Now I am back to seconds.. in shopping.. :)

Medians on the road are made for a purpose..

Bikers of the generic kind.. the commuter variety and not the passionate variety… Why do you think your 100- 150 cc bike can go over a well placed median just to avoid riding normally and taking a U turn..

We are all doing that.. Heck my baby can cross the median well but we have rules and its logical why they have been put there..

But no.. we have bikers who painfully cross the medians sweating, gyrating and then BANG the bike does not start.. and I go SCREEEEEECCCHHHHH to save from plowing onto him..

It is madness and I felt like getting out of the car and giving him a punch on his face.. for giving me such a heart attack.. GRRRRRR

Next time I will blow my already loud horn and give him a piece of the heart stop that I get..

And they say that women drivers are a menace..

I think we women can teach them men something.. buhahahah !!!

So all well you have  a good weekend..

I am doing some movies, friends, dentist.. and all that blah…  he he :)

Holiday lessons

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Well, it was a week long holiday and for a change we did not go out anywhere since the last to last weekend we already made a long trip to Munnar and back. Sometimes its just good to be at home and do things that you always wanted to do but postponed it due to lack of time.

I pursued a course in Hypnotherapy and NLP along with Theta Healing. It was interesting but disappointing at the same time. Interesting because it opened a whole lot of dimensions of healing and spiritual work for me and disappointing because for the money that was paid, I got only 20 percent of the knowledge. But yeah, it has not stopped me to to gather the rest of the 80 percent from other sources.  Am grateful for that.

However, I bless that soul so that it learns all that it needs to, in order to grow. :) I got to experience some good stuff too and for that I am happy and thankful.

Knowledge is something that can never be bound, no matter how much the teacher thinks it can. As much as it is bound, the more accessible it becomes if the learner looks at it deeply.

Well loads of lessons  for me and money spent for nuts.. well not totally.. but heck.. could have done better.. should have waited for the other teacher…

But no regrets.. it was my lesson and I have learnt it well.

Had a great weekend staying at a friends place and cooking stuff together.. and generally hanging out. I really live for moments with good pals like this where I do not have to pretend and can be myself and let nature of goodness take its own sweet course.  I think we should do this often.

Finalized my kitchen look.. I am so excited to have started the work on my house. That has been the highlight of the week. The look that I am aiming at : Simple but elegant.

Watched Transporter 3 , Underworld 2 and 3  and Beaches.

Reading Accessing the Brain’s Joy Center.

For the summer, I recommend Lavender Body Massage to all. Its divine.. oooohhh !! the pores get relaxed like nobody’s business.

And found a new hair dresser who can cut my hair the way I want it.  Its time for a change and well some new people in my life.. hahaha..At least I do not have to remember my car number.. buhahahaha …

Today am trying a new recipe which I liked a lot.. so there you go..

Photos and travelogue from Munnar coming up soon…

Was too lazy to log on and write or check emails or even attend to the phone. I think I like being offline, phoneless and email less. Its just like the good old days.. buhahahah ..

Tomorrow its back to work and the online world..
