Closing down my blog!
This lived just for 3 months - and somehow I'm unable to update this regularly. I had set out starting this, as a place where I could record Ashna's development and maybe someday she would love reading through this, and know what I experienced. But I ended up having this blog really random and it's more on my own day to day happenings - I don't think it's achieving any purpose. So I'd prefer to close it down.
However came across some wonderful people through this forum, and I'll continue reading their blogs and commenting.

Changed template colors once again....
...and it's yet not what I like absolutely!
Gosh there's so much trying with colors that one can do before getting something that pleases one's own eyes!
Half the time we don't give it a thought and prefer taking something readymade.. and at times we try to change them and yet don't seem to get something that's perfect for oneself. And when you do get it the way you want, you know it for sure. Love that satisfaction.
Isn't it like this with everything we do?

Forgotten world
Dunno what's up with me, but I seem to have forgotten the blog world these days!
On second thoughts don't I know? :-) Don't I know that I'm on seventh heaven these days? Will be back on earth soon! You bet it's good up here though and hope the fall is not too hard!

Fruitful Week
Literally fruit-full :-) All of this week I've been eating only fruits in the mornings.
Came across someone who told us this simple thing & it clicked::
"Food is supposed to give us energy then why is it that when we eat our meals we usually feel tired, sleepy and drained out instead of active? Simple funda, we have started adding spice & cooking our food which takes at least 24 hrs to digest. On the other hand raw food takes 12 hrs to digest. Now one cannot altogether stop eating cooked food & spices b'cos our tast-buds have got so used to it. So how about a middle path to start with - 50% raw food & 50% cooked food. Also in addition till 12:00 noon it's recommended that we don't eat anything cooked (based on the body-time cycle)"
I've been doing this for this whole week and I can see an amazing change. So my morning is filled with a variety of fruits,and lunch is salads and 50% of the normal food that I took earlier. There's no drowsiness and that tired feeling after lunch - I no longer need the minimum 3 cups of tea post lunch to stay awake! I think it's also got an amazing effect on my overall mood!! Even at night I'm sleeping much better now!
Not very sure if I'll be able to sustain this for very long , but even if I can manage to do this on most days it's a really good thing to do.
Have a good weekend all :-)

Maniac Monday
There's one thing about going against the tide - If you are *sure* that you are *right* then all the resistance can be taken easily!

Pretensions!
Why should I pretend to feel bad when I'm really feeling good just because that displays a more mature attitude??!!
A colleague is leaving and people in the group wanna give him a farewell. I don't understand why is it necessary specially when most people feel so good about the fact that he's leaving!! This is a Life full of pretensions!

A for America
There arose this need to make my resume last Friday, and I realised I had absolutely no baseline. The one I made four years back while joining this company is not with me today. Faced so much inertia in doing it and finally working on it today; it's really boring doing this. Some guys have their profile ready all the time - I am certainly not one of them!
Ok here's a real-life funny incident: There's this guy who sits 2 offices away from mine and was speaking over the phone. So I heard him say something which needed a spelling clarification - the way we typically help clear ambiguity in alphabets by saying S for Something. He said A for America and somehow that made me laught out! I mean here I am trying to teach Ashna A for Apple, B for Bat and on the other hand we have got so used to the american culture in the way of working with them that A for America comes so naturally to us! Am Glad that I'm not teaching her A for America, B for Burger and C for C++ :-)

Expectations
Someone once said to me.. Keep your expectations low and you will be a happier person. I did that actually did that - felt better - though not sure those feelings were real or just virtual.
Don't know when I again let them go up - it happened so naturally that I didn't even notice - and it feels horrible again. Wonder what's right and wonder how to keep a check on expectations constantly.

long time
Long time no post.. just been busy and was eagerly waiting for the admission result on 28th and good news guys - Ashna's made it to the school we wanted! Thanks for all my blog readers best wishes.
I was too nervous to write anything till this happened! It's so surprising I have always been so cool before my BE examination results and now when it comes to her LKG admission I was absolutely nervous. Again it all comes down to any parent wanting the best for one's child and I for one did not want to try out any of the new age schools just wanted to go in for the conventional disciplined convent school. Now you won't hear me worry about Ashna's admission for 12 years - if I'm blogging till then!!
Also Long time since I've been in this world! I leave my 20's today :-( Depressing birthday! Folks are trying to console me by saying Life begins at 30 :-) but somehow that's not cheering me up so much! Does everyone hate growing up after some time or is it just me!!?
