Wo(a)ndering thoughts!!!

Its been almost 6 months already since we moved here, I really can’t believe how time glides. Back in Dec, I thought we would take maybe max 2 months to settle back.. But shifting house is no easy task I tell you and to top it off we had things at the storage here and things moved back from Korea.. Im still figuring out lot of stuff.. I realised suddenly I couldn’t find my kettle this week, I remember we had one when we were Korea which I took it from here and somewhere along the way it got lost.. Now I got to buy a new one..   Likewise my dinner plates... I really have no idea how I could lose the full set.. Well, due for shopping again!!!   But thinking about settling down, it would take some more time I guess.. We are home both physically and mentally. But lot of times I miss being in Busan. A still thinks he has 2 homes, one in Busan and one in Melbourne. He keeps asking when do we go back to our Busan home.. Last year I wrote a post on what I might miss in Busan...

Remember that one time you were caught doing something wrong for the first time of that sort.. Actually you would’ve been so good until then, just that one time you were out of line and bang!! You get caught.. It happens to me every time, seriously!!!  Whenever I do not-the-right thing unintentionally or sometimes intentionally.. I would get caught & feel guilty for few days.. Guilt pays off to go back in track soon. I remember that time when I was in school, one day I didn’t finish my homework and that very day my teacher asked me to read my homework aloud to everyone(she randomly picked me not knowing I didn’t finish it).. Usually I play subtle in class and there was 1 other girl with my name, but the teacher remembered my full name and called out.. I started crying in front of the class.. God, that was embarrassing, I think that teacher stopped asking me anything after that..   J haha.. I’m generally  good with speeding or parking  but that o...

Recently I started to notice more disappointments and less self-motivation from people around me.. Almost all of us rely on others to notice/appreciate us, which leads to disappointments. If the person we are expecting appreciation from is either distracted or not an outspoken person or sometimes really mean then we are depressed evn more thinking we are not worth. Getting appreciation from others is always a good thing.. Actually it’s a super booster.. But if it doesn’t go how we expected then it will put us in  disaster mode. So I started to try this new technique which actually works for me.. I try to change my attitude to appreciate anything I do..  Atleast Once a day I pat myself on the back for simple things like taking that short cut to avoid traffic or making a dish out of leftover or pat myself for cooking a wonderful meal(Blush blush.. ) or drinking enough water throughout the day or even taking the trash out.. it could be anything, a simple self-appreci...

This is going to be my personal fav , not because I’m a mother.. Just because I admire every single mother in this world. Mothers don’t just imply one gender, I'm sure you agree that there are so many wonderful dads who are so true as a mother to their kids/sometimes to their spouse too. So throughout this article when I say Mother-it includes both gender who does a fantastic job of parenting. Firstly I have to say I don’t believe in these much-hyped special days (mother’s day or father’s day or valentine’s day or friendship day etc.,).. Every day is special, every day we are reminded of these people the way we do things or a place or a food or could be anything you could relate to them. Don’t you agree with me.. I choose to write this post this week because I see Mother’s day banners everywhere from Cinemas, retail shops, restaurants, even at my son’s day care..And moreover my mum's bday coming up very soon..    Good reason to write something about it..   ...

I never felt this confident when I was driving to work today.. I was very much excited when I got the offer and I was so looking forward to this day. I wouldn’t say I missed going to work last 4yrs, but now that I have an offer I’m all set. It just feels surreal 4yrs, it’s like nothing has changed. I’m just going back after a long weekend. Well, I can just say to a new team.. More the merry, my son waves good-bye (with lots of kisses) happily when I leave home. I’m not going to brag about getting a job or going to work. It’s what lot of people do anyway, Im not special. End of the day Work is Work , that’s not life. Job is definitely not my identity, its just one of the things   I do. Anyway, getting back to work after 4 yrs.. getting into my first workshop/meeting within 30 mins of entering the office, I didn’t feel I missed anything in last 4yrs..This 4yrs has thought me not to complain in any situation .. life is always greener on the other side. I don’t think I wil...

Mistakes- its a strong word.. without them we don't go anywhere.. Every mistake we do teach us something, every mistake is a lesson of lifetime. Some we regret, some mistakes we are glad we did it, some gives others happiness - kind of white lie, some mistakes go horribly wrong & haunt us for lifetime, some gives us good memories.. But whichever category it is,its a lesson .. We learn something from every mistake we make. I don't agree in not making a mistake in one's life. One cant be that pure, if there is one person who never ever made any mistake in his/her life.. I can just say they never learnt anything on their own in life. One have to make mistakes to learn something or to learn oneself sometimes. Lessons learnt from reading a book, travelling to new place ,meeting new people are different ways to get knowledge...But mistakes are Guru of all of them. Its an experience a person goes through inspite of others around warning not to do .I have made so many ...
