Through my lens: Unspoken thoughts

Me: Ah, not today darling. Let me sleep some more. Healthy Me: You may want to grab me little and see how much can I stretch? Me: I used to be very flexible, you know. Its just that winters like some love handles and enough cushion to keep me warm Healthy Me: You are turning into football. Just a warning, with every kick you would rebound and come back to me Me: Don’t worry, let spring come and I would blossom like a sunflower under glistening sun rays flaunting my golden ratio Healthy Me:   Spring is around the corner, last time I peeped into results, it was juggling to find space on your couch. Me:   Divine proportions and your expectations! I would set my own goals. Healthy Me: Yes, that’s my point. Start rolling. You are soul full of sunshine, remember that. Me: You are adorable, never give up. Sending some sunflowers! Roses are cliché   😉

  Exactly a year ago, Covid 19 was a buzz word, every day learning more about it, feeling compassion for those who had to go through it.  I had converted little corner of my home into workspace, ordered right furniture and adjusted to new normalcy in work from home mode. I had always loved the office environment hence working from home forever had been hard at times, but it has given new meaning to solitude. I figured out ways to channelize my energy, developed new skills, explored new hobbies, found ways to remain human, learned measures to make solitude experience a bliss. I had written about my experiences and experiments in 2020 in my previous post, totally unaware what 2021 holds for me. And now after a year, this bug hit me too. I read the most dreaded "Positive" word on my test result. I can relate to million others out there in world, how it feels to embrace yourself and fight it out in quarantine mode. Knowing about it for almost a year, and living by myself, I g

  As we are approaching year end of 2020, I am sitting on my couch, facing the balcony looking at green grass outside and contemplating the year gone by. What matters most in this life is relationship with your own self, your mind, your body and your soul. Definitely 2020 brought challenges in everyone’s life. But how much prepared were we, mentally and physically to be resilient and sustain ourselves with least support from outside world. Economy is tumbling down, many of are losing jobs, facing difficult situations to deal with every day. In this harsh reality we realized what is essential to survive and what is just additional baggage we carry to project our image in the society. This is true time to implore and develop a strong bond with oneself. No distraction of parties, social gatherings, travel vacations. This least interaction with other humans while maintaining social and physical distancing made us to think differently, look around us differently and act upon it. So ho

In reminiscent of last year same month, I am wandering my memory lanes and dreaming about re living that vacation again. If I could summarize the vacation in one liner: 1 SUV, 4 people, 6 days, 2800 miles stopping by 4 states covering 2 national parks and 2 party cities. Hey Covid 19, you might ruin some of my dreams, but my spirits are high. I am hopeful to enjoy 2020 December holidays with same zeal albeit differently ensuring safety of myself and people around me. It was most adventurous, ecstatic, fun road trip accompanying friends in late 20’s and early 30’s. Friends were known for long enough? Err, No. It was mix of friends and their friends. Super exciting trip where you get to meet new people from different background and age group, time to interact with different minds on various topics embracing differences. So, did we plan for long and to enough detail before commencing the trip? Ah, a bit yes and a bit no. Some details were chalked out like rental car and places to stay

Standing High, Up against all odds

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.  - Robert Frost ***************************************************************************** I am an angel, I'm a devil I am sometimes in between I'm as bad as it can get And good as it can be Sometimes I'm a million colours Sometimes I'm black and white I am all extremes Try to figure me out you never can There's so many things I am I'm someone filled with sel

Since you are sitting in some hideous spot in some corner of the world, I have to let you know I take good care of me and my other half is doing all your jobs pretty effectively and responsibly in your absence. My other half is slowly becoming my better half and I feel very much comfortable with this bond we are developing. Its lovely to flourish such a deep connection with oneself. Other day someone asked, "Its Friday, ain't you going out? No plans?" How should I reply back? Should I tell you are too busy or should I disclose my actual plans? I take myself out for brunches, movie dates, luncheons, nature walks, festivals, events and even long drives. You may have to look for advance booking as now a days all my evenings are booked with other self who entertains my day dreams, aspirations, monologues, life plans, consolations, self cheering which uplifts my mind, body and soul. Song playing in background [Damn, I like me better when I am with you ..] Hey list
