Who am I?

Am i the the commanding manager at work or the submissive mom who lives to cook n feed?

Am i the romantic at heart or the groaning mid life wife?

Am i my golden highlights or the greys that catch me in the sun?

Am i the considerate friend or the do not disturb, i am in my world loner.

Am i the roast coffee girl or adrak ki chai person?

Am i kind or i am weak?

Am i the shy and quiet or the bubbly of the party?

Am i a dreamer or the practical doer?

Am i the person who is ready to walk a new path discovering trails and quaint places with my family or i wanna rule the corporate?

Am i the invigorating snow clad peaks or the quiet of the beach?

Am i the lover or an attention seeker?

Am i the handloom saree with nosepin n gajra lady or frayed jeans with boots roadie?

Am i a religious fanatic or a meditating mystic?

Am i this or that or i am more?

I am an ocean of contradictions and a bundle of non conformities.

But this is what makes it me and my journey my very own and unique.

Fitness Quickie

This post was written in July and most of what is written holds true even today. Back in June, I had some time off and went to visit hubby who is on a sabbatical and studying. I use my holidays to eat, sleep and have fun, try new local cuisines, soak in the local life! I did all the above but also exercised a lot of restraint and used the gym at least 5 days a week, enjoyed the college life again, evening walks in the beautiful campus which is green and massive. The evening visits to the wonderful juice shop were awesome. Fresh air and delicious juice. My daughter particularly loved her Mango shake and adults oscillated between pomegranate, mausambi, watermelon etc. Quick fitness updates: 1. Weigh about 65 kgs. Yes I have lost close to 10 kgs ladies. Update: Been at this weight for like 2 months now. 2. I have partially quit milk, sugar, and to compensate for my daily calcium needs have started a bowl of curd instead. This curd is not made of skimmed milk. Quitting sugar is par...

On to a new life

I have relocated to a new city. I am the new lady in town. The culture, food habits, weather, traffic, language is all very different. Until now i was cocooned in my home town, i knew what to expect from the city, the people, the office... this is entirely new terrain to me....my work profile is different...life is now not easy, ITS FULL OF CHALLENGES. But, I, like many women my age and conditions was in a quandary as to continue working or call it a day. But i stuck to it, stuck to this job. Few years back my parents had a dream for me, i completed my engineering, did post grad and joined this public sector company after struggling and working for it real real hard....Should i give up this dream or should i use every bit of strength I have, to keep this job? I chose the latter. I don't have the support i had in my hometown, but i have thought of working at ways to sort things out and not let negativity creep in. When you are positive, god and forces around you help you in ways y...
