Dreams ....status quo

Oh my cute big lovely cuddly dreams....where are u all in the path to becoming a reality in my life....I can see some of u so close yet so far....can't wait longer....

Been a crazy year!

Seems so funny that am revisiting my blog almost after a year after making huge promises and listing out a bunch of topics I planned to write on.....crazy crazy me and my last 1 year of life in Chennai! Has been a tough roller coaster of a ride....today has been good , for I seem to have reaped the fruits of my hard work...:-) yes, I mean my appraisal has been a rocking success...something I did not expect to be this good !! Pat on my back ;-)

I only hope 2013 is less crazy and has calmer and happier tides than 2012....I only hope God, if he exists, isn't in his mind thinking " kannu.......laddu thinna aasaiya;-)"

Thoughts

Have been meaning to write something out here but jus been lazy. Every other day I come across so many varied and interesting things to write about....like the old man who gives me a rose everyday during my morning  walk...:-) is'nt that cute! the guy in the park who we have named "specimen"....oh you should see him to enjoy the adjective given to him....lol ; the ordeal the civic cleaners in our area face in trying to keep the city clean and green...a sad truth......no amount of education can change the mind set of Indians:-(!  the experiences in the local market, the fun in the cab ride to and from office, the crazy hours of the weekend , movie reviews, restaurant reviews....it seems like I can go on and on....

Ok good....so, now I have listed all that I can think about writing....so, watch out the space for tit bits of info on all of the above in the coming days......Have a great day:-)!

My Dream

My Dream is to:

- adopt a Child
- see and experience Mount Kailash
- become a good Bharathnatyam artist

I am loving it!

oh...not McD but our DSLR:-) my all time stress reliever has been shopping....even if it is an endless window shopping spree...i don't care... it totally does the therapy for me:-) this evening was one awesome shopping evening...filled lots of goodie bags for navarathri ...yes, i have a big gang up at my place in the coming week with lots of tiny tots....nothing is more fun than gifting them ....they enjoy the goodies so much better than the lousy food we make...ha ha ha

the moment i got back home from Christmas Tree shops....thank goodness i had not ventured into this shop this last one year...I would have probably ended up bankrupt! Its got so many wonderful stuffs in there, I have been in and out of this shop almost 5 times this past one month....

well, yes, the moment i got back home...i cleared up my table, spread all my purchase and started clicking...i had props too...fruits in autumn color...what more can i ask....liked the pics so much that i wanted to put it up here instantly....hope u all like them too....:-)

I did a post on my cookery blog about Navarathri...may be because many ladies come together in that blog and its easier to connect to the festivities that way!

Well, I thought I should link the post back here...cos this is my blog for all my blah blah....So, here is the link to that post.....
