A letter

My dearest unborn child,

It doesnt matter to me if you are a daughter or a son....it doesn't matter to me whether you look like me or your dad. I look forward to looking at your tiny face and to look into your eyes to see who are you.

I yearn to recognize that little individual that you are. I aspire to teach you some stuff I have picked up or learnt in all these years, which is not much as I am sure you need to learn things for yourself. I look forward to see what life means to you and what is important to you. I am waiting to see how we connect and how that connection keeps changing as we both grow.

I welcome you into our lives and our world with a lot of love

Your Mom

Ramblings of a psychotic mind

Am telling you folks!! have you ever felt that you may have lost your marbles??

Where is the woman who started writing this blog gone??? No idea !! Well am penning this as I want to be able to reflect after a couple of years which path have I actually followed.

Well they say it could be because I am all of 9 months pregnant and feel that my body is taken over completely. But its not my body that I have a problem with...its my mind! It just never relaxes lately...have learnt techniques of making my body relax thru breathing in preparation for d-day...but my mind...it just is not with me...

This minute its as peaceful as can be and the next I am biting someones head off!! Goodness gracious... Since I have another 35 days or so to go - I think am gonna practice the following

1. Not stress about mundane activities..the moment I start stressing...will switch off. Well they say an action helps - will whack my butt with both hands to remind me to switch off. That should be a funny sight...dont think I will be able to reach it the rate at which I am growing big!!

2. Walk for 40 minutes atleast 4 times a week and if I am not able to will give up some other work to do it.

3. The moment I see I am un-necessarily raising my voice - will raise my hand instead and stop!!

4. Try and get 30 minutes sleep at work in the creche above...might gimme a lil more energy during the day!

5. On sunday not go out for more than 2 hrs - stay at home and relax. Can go for a movie though.

Hope this helps!!

Will 24 hrs be enough?

My goodness the coming 2nd half of the year is going to be action packed for sure...

New baby, new job profile, lose 15 kgs....wonder if 24 hrs a day will be enough...and mind it all of it is something that I wanted and badly so have no reason to complaint...except for the weight loss.

Well i have never been a great believer of multi tasking...Change the one thing you want in your team or work...concentrate on one thing every month...Now I think thats gone outta the window..

Come september its gonna be a mad rush, but am going to be on the top of it...how? I dont know....yet.

Farewell 2008

As I bid farewell to 2008, I reflect - its been pretty good - for one my life changed and has forever been changing every month since last jan...

as i see the events...got married on 10th Jan..markets crashed some week later....nevertheless big milestones in life crossed i guess - got married, bought a dream house, life moving ahead with jet speed...went to maldives & thailand..saw the taj, ramgarh, rajasthan..discovered club football (never thought I would enjoy it as much as country ever), learnt to cook pretty well i must say..got closer to family!!!

one huge setback was ofcourse was the fact that I became notionally poor from being notionally rich!!!

as I bid adieu i pray for a better 2009 financially, a more exciting place to stay and more interesting work to do and more enjoyable company to be in. I pray to strengthen relations I need to work on and I pray for more laughter and joy in all lives around. Amen ;)

Wish everyone a fantastic & fun filled new year!!!

A beautiful initiative

Its that easy to make a difference in thousands of lives -
