Addicted for Life!!!

-
Akshaya says I am to do a tag. Like all true tags it seeks to reveal a part of me which may not have been shown so far on the posts I write.

I am supposed to jot down my top 5 addictions. Now here is the first problem, just five???? I have so many and to just write about five would be such a mean thing to do for all those others who make my life interesting.

Anyways, since I have been tagged there is nothing much I can do but comply, so here goes but be warned this list is not made in a matter of importance:

Addiction No. 1: To lie in bed and have a cup of coffee or tea – I just can’t manage to get out without a cuppa in the morning. And yes, it better be good. So much so, that I keep an electric Kettle handy whenever I am alone so that my cup can be made ready without my needing to leave bed.






Addiction No. 2: Non Veg food – seafood to chicken to red meat
I need my dose of high proteins regularly in order to survive. Keep me off them for a week and like the shorn Samson I lose all my strength and vitality.



Addiction No 3: Love – yeah love….am completely addicted to it, both in the giving and receiving forms. I love LOVE, period.

Addiction No 4: Hope – I can’t do without hoping for something good. Even in the darkest hour, in the dourest mood, I find something after a while that gives me hope.

Addiction No 5: Plants, animals and human being – I love being surrounded by all these. God has mercifully given me respectably green thumbs that allow me to grow a few plants around me wherever I am. For pets I have Crazy at home and street dogs everywhere else and as for humans, I chat up all and sundry, learning something new from each.

Now the best part I get to pass on this addiction...oops Tag to five others, so here goes... Mampi, Hemanth, Parry, Nimmy & Ambs.

Guys don't disappoint me please.

Addictions are a weakness. But with addictions 3, 4, and 5, you move from strength to strength. kudos.

PS: love the pups (in the pic). I've got seven new ones to name. They've barely opened their eyes and can't walk yet. :)

Trevor... addictions are things we cant do without...whether they become weaknesses or strengths depends upon what we choose to get addicted with :)

The pups sadly are not mine...and i so want one...wish you were here in Delhi would have surely stolen one of yours ;)

By the way...would naming after the seven dwarfs be acceptable?

They're my sister's pups. With two grown dogs and the 7-pup litter, it's a rackett.

Sis is going to give most of 'em away to "responsible" friends. I think only a couple of ppl have cleared her background check, lol. Had i a place of my own, i'd have taken a couple myself. Too bad you aren't in Hyd. :)

Sis was thinking of the seven dwarfs too. I think she'll settle on names once she decides how many she wants to keep. She counts on me for quirky names :)

Hemanth....i see that post he he u have also done the tag...good boy.

Rayshma...crazy is my lil doggie who stays now with mom...am not being allowed pets at home also right now and am wondering if a dharna at Jantar mantar could solve things.

Vinod...of course I am a sensual woman...but I would like to know what made you say so.

That's a tough one to pinpoint on any one thing that I have read in your blog...I have just sensed it from the whole "body" of your writings here.

Some dreams

-
I started out in life with some dreams, a couple of aspirations and a few vague goals of how I wanted to live life. There were some do’s and don’t in my list of things like am sure everyone has. The most important of these was an attempt to live an honest, uncomplicated life. Honest not in the Gandhian sense of telling the truth no matter what rather in being able to openly do what I wanted to do. One thing I have always hated is the need for camouflage. I never wanted to be the prettiest, the best, the wealthiest all I wanted was contentment and the opportunity to be happy and make those around me happy in whatever small measure I could. Now at the much experienced age of thirty when I survey the scene around me all I find is a Mahabharat like battlefield littered with the carcasses of my dreams, aspirations, well intentioned actions and my goals …my goals are nowhere to be found. They abandoned the field long back, stealthily, leaving me to fend for myself as best as I could. I have

My God’s Strongest

My relation with my God is special. God is a friend, philosopher, and guide to me. At times also a fellow prankster. I call him by many names and at times that I am really feeling good I even think of Him as Her. God to me is omnipresent, omnipotent and yes God looks after me and its not the other way round. Yes He does expect me to help my fellow beings but mind you my God is strong infact he is the strongest and he doesn’t need me, I need him. The names I call him depend on what it is that I seek from him. When I need hope I call him Jesus . When its patience I seek I call him Shiva . When very tired and looking for more stamina I call him Allah (say the word out loud without any preconceived notions and feel what I mean). When its strength I seek I call him Wahe Guru and when I wonder about his inconceivable powers I think of him as Yahweh (the unknowable). When knowledge is what I look for I think of him as the Buddha . So you see my God has many names and he stays true to each

Learning’s at 31

Life began as a multi-hued carnival of sight, sound, laughter and sometimes tears for a favorite doll lost or a toe hurt. It grew into something very black & white as teenage approached. Everything was seen through the grave lenses of ideology that was grafted and then crafted from the many books, films, snatches of conversations and bits of life experiences one went through. The twenties brought with them financial independence and the dawning of the fact that life was more than black& white. Also more importantly the fact that what was black to me was quite fair in the world’s view and what was pristine white to me was seen as dirty and abhor-able by the world. Now standing inside the gateway of thirties having dealt with bereavement, public ignominy, loss and the breaking of dreams and aspirations I understand that life is neither black nor white nor is it multi-colored, its infact just a grey. A grey that turns, swirls and moves like the early morning fog. At times it break
