Wo(a)ndering thoughts!!!

I'm hooked on to 'The good place' in Netflix..Have you watched it? I'm becoming a fan of Kristen Bell not because of this series. I have been watching a lot of her Netflix 'Originals' these days. This series is about the so called concept of 'Heaven' -The good place and the 'Hell'- guess what!! obviously 'The bad place'. PC:Google Images I'm not here to discuss about the plot or review the series, you watch it yourself. I love comedy genre in general. Hence I'm watching. My grandma used to tell me that if I go to temple often, my sins will be washed/erased and technically my sin-counter reboots again. I never used to understand the logic. It sounds exactly like when someone tells me google doesn't record your information after you delet the browsing history. "SURE man!!". What if I kill someone, Do I get a pass? What if I abuse someone and ask for forgiveness? What if I cross a red light?  What if I...

It has been seven years and 23 days to be precise, it gives me jitters even now thinking about it. It was a Friday night. Not any Friday, a special one..Hubby and I were looking forward  to fly out to Fiji to celebrate our 5 th  wedding anniversary. I had a mini performance (I used to learn classical Vocal) for a small group that evening after work. So our plan was to come back home after the performance and change before we drive to airport. Since our flight was at late night, it was no pressure. We had plenty of time to catch the flight after the performance. Living in  this  City/home for past 4 years, we never once felt unsafe or need for safety measures like alarm system in the house.  Once before this Friday, I remember our garage was open for whole day and never once it striked me that an intruder could get in to the house.   <Mistake no #1>  The good experiences from past made us take  safety for granted ...

I wrote about blind dates in  lost and found myself post. After writing that, it started to bring back my self exploration memories and I thought I should pen down one of my blind date story from my # theblindlist . Do you agree that people around us influence our thoughts, I’m really lucky most of my friends are always planning their next holiday and inspiring me with their stories. This blind date is special to me because of my fascination towards this country, their history, culture and the accent that has a command in a classy way; More than that the awe for the monarchy that ruled half of the world at one point and ruled my home country almost 200 years. Yes, I’m talking about London – the city of my dreams. Being a big fan of Escape to country episodes, I dream to escape to an English country and live in an old house that has lots of character, surrounded by a huge farm. <With the option of Airbnb these days, maybe I can fulfil my dream soon.> ...

Rule of thumb for a blind date is to trust the process and to go on a date with no/zero expectation. You do not know who you are meeting until you see them. You cannot check their FB profile or see their stories in Insta. You go there with open mind. If you are lucky, you get a wonderful experience and stories to tell your grand children. Mine was no different, I must say I was always lucky with my blind dates. I have had so many experience of this. However, it was not like I didn't have a choice. Like most of you I too had a conventional way, but choose another way.  I'm talking about my blind dates with this world. Would you dare to go on a blind date with this world? I would. I certainly would. I love the idea of exploring the world , a new place without a map/GPS in hand. I just love the idea of embracing the local culture without reading a travelogue. I just love to taste local food at a street shop in a small alley 'coz local people eat there. I...

I had a good friend, her name was 'Tasty fatty Food'(TFF), she was my everything..She was even my bae.. She was there when I'm happy, she was there when I'm sad and depressed. She was there when I watch TV and she would be right there when I'm bored. She was my everything.. Trust me, I never felt so much comfortable in anyone's company like hers. she is the best and she always makes me feel best.. Then I hit mid-thirties, I met this new friend - he loves to call himself 'Healthy eating(HE)'..I have to live with him for obvious reasons but I think we don't get along that well(Shh!!Don't tell him).. We have reached a point where I just  ignore him some days.. then I feel real guilty , I try and give every chance to be a good friend again. Somedays I miss my old friend, I try to meet her secretly and I call it my 'Cheat day'.. I swear I don't do many cheat days.. I'm really not that guilty.. I only do cheat days, Whe...

I'm sure I'm not last in the game, I've finally joined the Netflix club and binge watching like anything..I finished 2 seasons of my fav show in no time.. I have to wait until 2019 for next season.. it is RIDICULOUS!!.. One thing I was afraid that would happen, actually happened.. I'm A-D-D-I-C-T-E-D!!  I hate that I love it.. There I said it.. Although I miss my reading and blogging... I couldn't believe I was into so much binge-ing, 3 weeks have gone without doing anything other than the bare necessities. .I skipped my morning walk to watch few more minutes of the movie I downloaded, I skipped reading to finish that episode of The Crown, I even had to pay late fees for not returning my library books.. Can you believe that!!! thats SO not me.. Aah Hah!!! It feels so blank , my mind is not even working.. G would agree that its the perfect solution to put my wondering mind into coma.. Today, I woke up with the sound of rain..what more can inspire to write th...

“Mom, I wish I had a Genie” my 6yr old tells me first thing in the morning half-awake in his bed. I kiss and tell him “Me too!!.. “ I wish I had a Genie who can do the convincing job of making you eat veggies/fruits, I wish I had a Genie who can do the arguments with you when it comes to hard-parenting, I wish I had a Genie who can make us dinner and lunch   just like that so I can spend more time with you, I wish I had a Genie that can help me erase the memories that gives me mommy guilt, I wish I had a Genie who can make the day longer after we reach home so I can spend more time with you, I wish I had a Genie who can take us in the magic carpet on a ride to see talking animals and super heros, I wish I have a Genie who records everything we do together and play back those good laughs we had when I’m home alone after you grow up and fly away.. I wish I have a genie now..  I know I 'm only allowed 3 grants from Genie but.. I...
