And sometimes life is just about...

Finding joy in little wins.

Doing the dreaded dishes that have been piling up for a week, finding a tailor to mend my old jeans, getting up the guts to wear contact lenses... and finally just accepting that this is home.

I would have liked to say that I was up all briskly at 7:00 AM on a Sunday... Sadly, its just the clock on the blog!

Lo and behold

I’m here! After months of debating, contemplating, in other words sheer laziness, I finally got myself to put my best foot forward. And that would be the left one. You know how when you are bang in the middle of exams, you make up imaginary lists of everything else you would rather be doing than learning how to design a database for some make believe petroleum company? Well, now that I have so much time on my hands, watching Tom and Jerry re-runs and flicking marbles into the air doesn’t seem as enticing as it did a week ago! I have taken up redecorating my house though. Partly because my mom very subtly indicated that she would have me shipped away if I continued to make a mess and partly because there are only so many times that you can bang into something each time you enter your room before thinking, hey maybe the stack of ironed clothes from 2 weeks back doesn't really belong right next to the door. Nor do the roller skates I pulled out for my 8 year old cousin to play with we...

Random Rambling - Nothing more, nothing less

> Black coffee, capsicum maggi and sleepless nights seem to be taking over my life, little by little, every day. Yes, I'm ruling out the possibility that the sleepless nights could be caused by caffeine overdose. Caffeine is the elixir of life. Period. Well, my life atleast. > I think we as individuals spend way too much time debating, and almost no time acting. I've seen it happen a lot off late, and if we don't invest even quarter of the time we spend trying one-up the other's argument actually working towards what which we fight about so passionately, I think we should just shut up. > I've become both a social and fashion disaster. Most of my clothes don't match anymore, and in addition to that, I seem to have developed acute foot-in-the-mouth disorder. > Salpa adjust maadi, kannada gothilla. Yes, I definitely have a ear for languages.. To think it only took me 4 months in Bangalore to pick up that much. > Its funny how everything that drove me...

My own little victory

The big bottle of aquafina stares at me from across the room. Large, looming and annoyingly blue. Three days ago, I thought buying a 2 litre bottle of water would ensure that I didn't have to keep running to the store. But little did I know that this particular bottle was designed by a narcissistic bottle-designer (yes, that's a profession) who knew that this bottle would land up in my hands. That's when the battle began. Its been 2 weeks since I officially began living by myself. The 6 weeks at TWU never counted as I always had friends around, the sole purpose of my apartment being the comfy bed it offered. But now, I'm on my own. Apart from managing my career, I need to do my own grocery shopping, make my own coffee and most of all, make sure I'm fed thrice a day... a concept I'm yet to really comprehend. Having been a bit of a spoilt kid back at home, whether it was going out to get a photocopy or getting a glass of milk at night, there was always someone by ...
