It is that time of the year again...

It is that time of the year again when I stay awake restless at night, but sleep so soundly during the day. It is a time when I wish I could turn back time to spend more time productively and less time on Facebook. However, now it is quite too late to wish for a bygone hour or two. I usually get an insatiable appetite to eat anything and everything fattening at this time of the year. Needless to say, this year is no exception. Sometimes I wonder how my stomach has so much of capacity to stuff in all the baked, fried or roasted food within a two mile radius. I spend a lot of time dreaming as well. Floodgates to poetic paradise open exactly on cue right around this time. Inspiration flows faster than I could reach for the pen on the table. (This might take a few minutes as I am sprawled on the bed, after all.)Oh so conveniently rain starts to pour all day long creating a subdued lazy cosy ambiance, puuuurrrfect to curl up on bed with a hot mug of coffee.Ahhhh..Bliss! Yes, it is exam time!

Listen with your heart...you will understand...

Stuck in Traffic

Getting stuck in traffic at the end of a busy day can be quite interesting, provided of course your stomach is not screaming "FOOD!".My stomach was doing just that while I was stuck in traffic this evening.However, my crafty mind thought of ways to ignore the stubborn stomach.I started to observe other fellow members of this stuck-in-traffic community.Some were yawning while others were muttering and swearing.Some were gazing all the way to infinity while others were having animated conversations with fellow passengers.Of course I have to mention those who had a phone stuck to their ears and speaking non stop on god knows what to god knows who.Yours truly apparently belonged to the category of weirdos who think of things to write on their blog once they get home.


Lo and behold! Rain Gods decided to grace these poor souls stuck in traffic with their presence.I have to admit though rain brought a beautiful mystical quality to this evening which was otherwise quite drab.Watching rain drops slowly slide down the windscreen can be very calming indeed.I let my eyes roam out side once more over the blurred vehicle lights and rushing pedestrians.May be there is a hidden beauty on a traffic filled urban highway after all.May be we are always too busy running around to no where in particular, that we don't realise that beauty is where we are right now.May be its time to stop for a minute and open our eyes to appreciate the subtle charm of the city.


May be it was time to feed my poor stomach.

Just the way you are....

I'm writing this for someone who believes that she is ugly, just because she thinks she has had a bad hair cut and gained a bit of weight.So maybe Katherine Heigl has had the same hair cut and looks drop dead gorgeous.But don't forget she has put on layers of makeup and probably spent three hours with a hair stylist.Also some people are just born with oh so perfect hair which certainly does NOT make them beautiful from inside.


Your hair may stick from odd angles ,and you might have gained a bit here and there.However, the people who love you will keep on loving you for who you are.Whether you hair is straight ,or curly ,or some weird thing in between will not change the way any of us feel about you. For us you are still the same person we loved when you were slim and had stick straight hair.A bit of fat and some unruly hair is not going to change who you are and whom you will always be.That is the person we love.


Do you think any of us would even look at Katherine Heigl if she gained some weight and forgot her hair appointment? I don't think so.
