My Blessings

-
I have been in a ranting mode so I thought let me count my blessings. It’s a self help exercise so kindly bear with me.


I always find some people who gladly share their time and company with me wherever I am
I have a loving partner who is not stuck up with ideas of what girls should do or don’t.
I have the naughtiest mom in the world
My doggie Crazy has the most soulful eyes in the world
My masi thinks I am a heroine so does my brother though he tries to keep it carefully hidden
My home is the center of my universe and I love returning to it
I have a job and am good at what I do
I have a blog correction two and some people actually find them worth following.
I have dreams that I want to fulfill and someone with me who shares them
I can find these ten points to write about….there would be so many who wont be able to.

Thank you God.

hey!
just chanced upon your blog...nice post..

we think more about what little we don't have instead of what all we have... i guess this is the human nature..
once in a while, taking a break from all the necessary, unnecessary things we should do these self-help exercises...to make us realise how lucky we are, in one way or the other.

I am sure you can write much more points, hehe. Let me add two more to your list.

1. You write very well.
2. And you are too good at giving advise to someone.

:) Cheers!

Eleventh Point: You have me. (dont say you already mentioned in first point)
:)
Yes I agree with the point about your home. I have never gotten over that feel of being in your home for a few hours. I can imagine how you feel. Umm, it was nice talking to your mom. Gotta meet your masi to know about the heroine attributes, though I am aware of a few myself.
I am sorry for being among the last ones to visit the blog, but then you see it happens with a viva round the corner.

Hey I am so late here... and such a lovely post!!! I do this too sometimes, make a list of my blessings...
You have missed out something - you are amongst the people who are sill keeping this world going, because you are unprejudiced, tolerant, kind and open. Some of your posts have left an impact on people, you have inspired with your writing about issues that are so relevant today ... about God and religion. Remember? And you care for the world. And also against gender bias.
Also you must be a very strong person, because you have managed to keep above the social conditioning that women are subjected to, and drowned into.
I think we come to know other bloggers from the comments they leave, as much as from their blog posts, and you always support the liberal,democratic and moderate voices. That's an admirable quality in today's times Pinku .. gosh, sorry about the long comment!
God bless, hugs, IHM

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 ...

I have been writing about my trips on this blog regularly under the label footprints . So much so that part of the excitement of going on a trip now seems to be the recounting of it once back on the blog for friends. The trip this time was no different, since right from the beginning I kept filing away details in my mind and clicking pictures all with the view that it would get space on the blog. However since my travel mate Mampi is already writing about the exact activities of the trip in great detail I am not going to repeat it. You can visit her blog for details. Let me therefore share with you some snippets and photographs. It was Dalhousie that we went to this time. Famously nicknamed " dull & lousy " by the boisterous crowds, the place is a military cantonment and a quaint little town that was set up just 150 years ago. We arrived there in high spirits, the thrill of having escaped the mundane hectic lives we normally lead giving all of us extra broad smiles. A ...

A question?

Is this where it all started? This murder of brother by brother? This raping of the Motherland? We were fooled then, are we going to continue doing so for ever? Will we never learn any lessons? (Please read the english text on the image to understand where I am coming from. Frankly I have'nt verified the authenticity of this statement but I can't help believing that this or something similar was planned to bring my golden country down to its knees. )
