The Hunt for a Home

We still haven't got ourselves a decent place to call 'our' home...because I believe that M's house is 'his' home ...My house is 'my' home ...and Our House is 'our' home...and while a house in the middle of Chennai is quite unimaginable to get hold ..we have been in the look out for a decent apartment...in vain sighhhhhh! Definition of Decent ( Things we cannot compromise on) : 1. Rent within our budget - why are budgets and rates inverse always! 2. A seemingly spacious layout - Get in some sunlight builders and chuck the dingy corridors. 3. Vasthu Compliant - gotya there didn't I :) 4.  No Water Shortage - that's a necessity na. 5. Not on the highest floor and GF or first is best or second is there's a third....The summers of chennai last a year and  if we are outta power its a pain to get grocery and water up...I don't wanna exercise those thin ( I hear thunder) thighs of mine and neither M's f(l)at tummy :D 6. Parki

Aroma

You didn't tag me art but I just wanted to blog on .....What are the (non- perfume/ non-cosmetics) smells you like? - Petrol....why I wonder - Mannvasanai ....during the first showers - Paint..not too strong though - Tulsi leaves and shambrani...divinity derived - Coffee....never fails to make me happy - Lemon/Earlgrey/Masala tea....am all perky and fresh after this drink - Fresh powdered babies ....a treat :D - Betel leaf...when crushed its got a very pungent end to it - Steam from the Iron while pressing clothes...some pleasure during the toil - Biriyani ...the spices.....basically anything to do with food...:b PS. Can keep adding to that list...its nice to just think about the things you like ...very relaxing :)

I am Happy today...

because.... Acha had his follow up with his doctor today and things are FINE. Yipeeeeeeee! He is doing good. A Big Relief. Yesterday I had a wonderful evening with friends ( U, S and B) at U's Golu. Achu also had a gala time with N and M. On the work front deadlines have no meaning since we are done with all the files that needed attention. Have to get the office ready for Pooja. Its exciting to plan and execute something otherthan work, at office. God is watching over me :) Ps. Like I said today is beautiful...I am relishing each moment ...I am grateful to alot of family and friends...for there is nothing more peaceful than having a hand to hold and a shoulder to lean :)   

Some Juncture this is !

Festivity vs Turbulence Faith vs Doubt Commitment vs Lethargy Life is all about twos..... At every point of time you are either there or here.... From a broader time perspective ...you are always somewhere in the middle! But its the moment that matters That gives you the joy That gives you the hit Then time stabilises Ps. The 'you' here is me...the positives and negatives of life are getting me all confused and cluttered...will sort...give me the time....heart and mind....!
