Oops I did it again!

Well I know these words are the lyrics of a very famous song, but then this is the only thing that came to my mind when I saw that I have received one more award.



Ruya Preetika who blogs at Waking Moments has been very sweet in giving me this award. Thank you so much Ruya, I am truly touched! Ruya's blog is a very beautiful space to be in as it reminds me of all the little pleasures life is all about. I love reading her for she writes straight from her heart, sharing real life incidents with so much honesty that you actually visualise all of them happening in front of your eyes. For all that you have always been, for all the lovely encouraging comments you leave on my blog and most importantly for the beautiful snippets of life that you share with us through you blog, this one's for YOU ~

Now coming to the rules, I am supposed to state 7 random facts about myself. Though I have blabbered a lot of Me in the past as well, this time I would want to try writing something new:

  1. I am a music buff. I live on music, I breathe it and if possible I could eat and sleep it too. I am kind of addicted to it and I NEED my daily dose of music or else by the end of the day I go bonkers.
  2. I am a very emotional person  - letting my heart rule my mind and take decisions.
  3. I am fiercely protective about my space and I usually don't allow everyone in that space.
  4. I am a big time dreamer and maintain a dream diary.
  5. I carry a notebook along with me 24 X 7 and keep scribbling in it in a language known only to Me ;)
  6. I have a box full of cards, letters and other such memorabilia from my 10th birthday onwards which is one of my most precious possession.
  7. For me everyone is either good or bad, there are no greys for me hence I trust people very quickly.
Thank you so much Ruya, it was fun answering this as it made me think a lot about myself after a long time. Perhaps sometimes in life you need such things to mull over!

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

By

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
