As I approach closer and closer to that one mile stone, that one point in your life, you are still not sure of being a kid or an adult, that point in life you want to take charge of your future and decisions, but the pocket seems to be a little bit empty for that, that point in life you realize the change in your parents faces to see the wrinkles coming in (my mother will not be happy with that statement though), you suddenly realize “holy mother of jack fruit!.. I am growing old” Its not easy accepting that now every relationship you have you first need to think about if this person is a suitable life partner (seriously) and that you can raise kids with, and that you can’t eat everything you want without actually putting on a few pounds, or that you really can’t live without a job just on your parents money, or that every time you go to a relative’s house the first topic of discussion is marriage. You realize this and it kind of sucks. It liked my life before with fewer...

The realities of our lives consist of the different personalities that we may portrait day to day. As a mother, a wife, a daughter, an employee, a sibling and friend the list may continue. The responsibilities, the commitments, the emotions are all different according to these relationships. We live lives of so many different characters where sometimes we forget how to interconnect all of it. Or rather that we should interconnect them at all. We may come across those situations of truly embedding ourselves in to the characters that involve people or relationships that won’t work with another. We find different levels of comfort and peace in each of them, but find it difficult to intertwine them to work together. All most all of us may have that so called dirty little secret, that one person, one relationship, one true connection that others in our lives may not know about or we assume that may not be understood by others in our lives. We find pleasure in that relationship bu...

So many people think that living life on an island is so easy. The sun and the sand, and the crystal blue waters seem more than ok enough. The beautiful views, the landscape and even the good food seem heavenly. But is it really? As a born and bred in an island let me tell you, it is NOT. Here are the reasons why EVERYONE is related to you- someone you meet at the meat section at a grocery shop happens to talk to you, and she is your grandmother’s auntie’s sister’s cousin’s daughter. Seriously. There isn’t really room for a getaway: you could be in the most far off part of the island in a abandoned wilderness with wild elephants, you will definitely run it to a friend of your parents.   If you are single and is in the age of being hunted as marriage material- EVERYONE THAT MOVES FROM THE OPPOSITE SEX IS A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL You break up, hook up, get divorced, get married, has a child, gets in to a car accident- EVERYONE KNOWS within seconds, to the point you w...

Ya- are you wondering where this title will take you? No don’t worry I promise you this will not be one of those bitching moments, but rather one of those “light bulb” moments. And that line is just so appropriate on many day to day activities.  I have been slacking off recently on this blog ( I know my famous excuse) but honestly my life hasn't been that interesting. I moved back home, found a fantastic job- met so many new people, had to leave the job – found another fantastic job and is now riding that boat. Yea as much as this may sound like a fairy tale it really wasn't. It was like a mud run in a rain forest during the rainy season- except its not mud- but like poop.  Yea smelly actually. But a friend once said “always find that silver lining”. Well I think I found mine. People come in and out of your life for various reasons, some go and some stay, some go only to come back. But you find that one person, that one per...

Many people love the beach for many different reasons. Some love the calmness and the roughness of the edgy waves crashing on in to the shore of the beautiful white sand. Its like a white and black thing, they are such opposites that actually work together. Some love the happiness and the joy that mere salt water can bring just by being "salt water". Some just love being able to stare far ahead and get lost in their own Pensieve. Let me telll you why I love the beach ISSO WADE Umm yea try translating that to English right? I used my balls and gave it a shot- Shrimp Chips (not bad eh?) Forget the name and let me tell you why this is better that your first honeymoon. The moment you bite in to it you will feel that crusty chips breaking in to your mouth, with raw onions and the sour fried shrimp. While that's melting in your mouth there will be an injection of the sweet carrots and the spicy green chilli that will tickle your tongue just enough for some chills to ...

Comfort is a strange thing. Its a feeling of being able to not think at all, and just stare in to nothingness and still be completely sober. Its not about being with the love of your life, or being on your favorite mattress. Its about that moment in life, where u just stop. just stop to not think, not plan, not talk... u just stop. I recently found out that comforting moments are truly found in the most strangest things. There's a cat key holder on top of my table. And its been there since the dawn of the new age, but I find my self the most calm, when I am staring away in to the dirty notice board pin eyes of the cat. The world stops, the phone stops, the emails stop, callings for dinner stops.. everything just stops. I truly believe that comfort is not something you can find when you feel like having it. It comes when you least expect it, when you least need it. It could be in the soap bubbles you find in the shower before you get to work, it could be on the back of a motorc...

So I know its a bit late for the new year post as it is almost the end of February! But hey better late than never. Firstly I want to wish all of you a very happy 2012 and may this year be everything you wish for and more! Every one has been wanting to know so what are my plans for this year. Let see if I can list some here, just the PG-13 ones. 1. Work and work 2. Stay away from trouble- Last year ended with so many shitty issues on a monthly basis,  but lets hope that this year would be better. It will probably be a hard thing to do considering the tendency of my attraction to trouble. 3. More chill with friends: Ok this is really not happening as much as I would like it to. I have been lacking time to spend with my friends here, and in WI. But not to worry the year is only begining :) 4. No gross finger nails: Last year i realized I dont really know how to properly do my nails. Should get this fixed. 5. KEEP THE BLOG RUNNING: I know really bad at that. 6. Visit WI...
