God this is becoming tougher and tougher…only 3, now how do I select huhn? I will do the same that I did in books list the ones that come to my mind

2. Any Given Sunday – Everytime I see that movie, everytime I hear that last speech I am motivated to do sometime. Do something better in my life.
3. Dil Chahta hai – nothing path breaking about the movie I agree but at the same time I think it changed the way indian cinema looked at friendships. Much more real much more us

10 day you challenge

Have been wanting to do that since ages but not getting the time to do it all so today while driving to nandi hills for bicycling trip I decided to use the time sitting in the car to write a post 😉 benefits of an iPhone are never ending I say he he

So coming back to 4 books man this is becoming tougher and tougher how do I select only 4 from the many many I have read (actually what fun it would be to know exactly how many I have read till now alas good reads and other cataloging services are very recent) so what I am gonna do here is list the four books that come to my mind first could be the favourite could be not but I am sure it’s somewhere in the top if its coming to my mind first

1. The two Indian epics that is Ramayana and Mahabharata both in the modern adaptions though jaya and palace of illusion for Mahabharata and ashok k banker series for Ramayana. Some day I want to read the originals too though some day

2. Three men in a boat – love love love the book

3. Kite runner – I don’t think there is another book which deals with human emotions so well the book made me cry the book made me smile the book moved me beyond words

4. Lolita – a classic in it’s own way it deals with a issue close to my heart in a brilliant way

10 Day You Challenge | Seven Wants

10 day you challenge, just me

I am going much slower with this 10 you challenge than I would liked to but life is busy, a lot is happening these days and I just can’t seem to keep up with everything, days get over I realise they have started and weekends sigh I wonder if they ever come but when I sit back and think what was I upto I swear I really can’t reply in anything concrete 😦 however I digress as usual so today is the day to talk about wants… hmmm whats life without wants, everyone has loads of them all the time and here I am trying to list mine

1. Good Health – Its been years I have been dabbling with one health issue or the other, frankly I am fed up and I don’t know what to do. It seems like I am in a terrible rut one thing leads to another to another which leads to the first again. And hence nothing gets all right 😦 I am fed up of seeing doctors, I am fed up of medicines and I am just fed and I want good health back
2. A job I like : A job I like and pays me as much salary that I was drawing before and yeah on my flexi terms 😉 I am asking too much 😛
3. Clarity of mind : This seems to be another thing totally eluding me… Cant seem to make up my mind on anything these days. The state of mind these days is like thoughts are dancing around in my head, fighting for floor space with each other all day long
4. DSLR : its been in my list like forever, everything else gets bought but for some reason this just keeps getting pushed forever 😦
5. World tour on my mobile home : something I want to before I die, the top most item in my bucket list
6. Domain for myself : this has been something I have been debating with myself for so long. I want for sure, but the effort involved in shifting the blog etc just keeps putting me off it
7. Love : Being loved and loving someone is the biggest want of my life and touchwood I have it too 🙂

10 Day You Challenge | Eight Fears

Tags

10 day you challenge, just me

hmmm so we have to talk about fears today, isn’t it a fear in itself. I mean we all avoid talking about our fears why? are we afraid of talking about them? Do we fear that they will come true if we talk about them. Anyways enough of philosophy early morning and here are my fears

1. Fear of being crippled and dependent – I fear this more than death. Fear the day when I will need support for the smallest of the things
2. Fear of Old Age – yes I fear old age, wonder how will I react at that age. How healthy will I be? How lonely will I be? How will I cope with everything on my own. How the hell will I spend time
3. Fear of Losing Loved ones – I think this is one of the biggest fear I live with. I dread and pray every day morning for their well being, and I am sure we all do
4. Fear of Lizards – Eeeks I hate those creatures, live in perpetual fear of them. If I see them in my house means the night is gone for sure
5. Fear of not being needed anymore – Yes lets face it its great to be needed and I fear the day when no one will need me may be that will lead to no one wants me
6. Fear of missing a flight or a train – I behave like a total paranoid the days I have to catch a flight/train and its a running joke in our house that if they she has a flight to catch stay away from her. she’ll bite
7. Fear of not being able to talk – its no secret that I love to talk. I can’t imagine myself in a situation where I can’t talk. Damn I sometimes think I should dare myself to do bipasana just to see if I survive and may be I can get over this fear atleast
8. Fear of not having any fear – I think our fears give us strength to deal with life and to deal with ourselves,yes I fear the day I will have no fears at all

10 Day You Challenge | Nine Loves

Tags

10 day you challenge, just me

So today is day for talking about loves… 9 loves after all life is a lot about love

1. Ojas – at this point of time if I am asked to chose only one thing in this whole damn universe it will be my son.
2. The better half – Its unbelievable how I think I have found peace and contentment in life with him, its just feels that we two were always meant to be together. Pieces of jigsaw puzzle which just fit together seamlessly
3. Books – I need to read, I get withdrawal symptoms if I don’t. Books are a major part of my life. They are truly what some call them food for thought and fodder for the brain.
4. Music – Music is healing, music is therapy, music is something that words can’t define. My headphones have always been my saviour when I was in full time work or now. Whether I am in the kitchen or on the laptop or on the go music is always on and BTW the latest obsession is Coke Studio. Just love it 
5. Travel and Driving – I think if there is one thing that connected me and N the minute we met it was driving and our love for traveling and exploring new places. If we don’t step out of the city for more than 2 months we both start getting itchy. Seeing new places, exploring new horizons is something I love
6. Baking – Aaah well you all know about it don’t you? Baking is therapeutic for me. Its like when I am mixing, beating, folding the thoughts in my mind are sorting themselves out. And when the aroma engulfs the house a clarity and calm takes over my mind. only if it could stay that way
7. Writing – Whether its here on the blog, or for my own private viewing or for the book that I dream to write someday. Blogging and writing is something I have grown to love and treasure
8. Friends – I think we all realise what they mean to us and that includes you too my dear readers
9. Me – Last but the least I love myself and I think its really important for everyone one of us to do so
