And we’re in 2012...

So another one is archived to bring out later and reminisce about…all the good things and bad…to compare with the current one and, depending on the mindset at the moment, lament or rejoice.

For the last couple of years I have been feeling increasingly apathetic about New Year celebrations. Of course, I have celebrated with friends on some occasions and enjoyed it too, yet that happens only when initiated by others and my participation remains quite limited.

This year seems to indicate a pattern for the years to come. This year TH and I returned home from rehearsals for our new play at about 9:00 p.m., I made roast chicken, we enjoyed dinner with some good wine, listened to old songs, had comfortable and easy conversation and hit the sack by 12:30 a.m. I enjoyed the evening.

The next day TH and I discussed how we didn’t feel like being in bright, noisy places and were content to be by ourselves and at home too.

We think we might be getting older (and, hopefully, wiser) :)

P. S. Happy New Year to all ! Hope this year brings you much joy and peace :)

Oh, I so agree with the part about being by yourselves and in the comforts of your home :-)

Loud boisterous crowds hold no appeal at all to me, unless it's a conscious decision to attend a rock/pop concert, hehe :P

We're definitely getting older, but I'm not too sure if I'm getting wiser, LOL!

We're already in April heading to May! Hope the year has been treating you well :-)

‘Geographically challenged’

I laughed my guts out while reading this . Then I had another bout of laughter thinking of all the incidents that happen with me. For a long time now I have known that I am, what I like to call, ‘geographically challenged’ :) Situation 1 - If I go inside a building (happens mostly with residential buildings), then after I exit the lift (elevator) or come down the stairs, I cannot quickly locate the gate ! Situation 2 - If I am inside a building, I will routinely point in wrong directions to indicate places outside the building. Situation 3 - I am presently at office. I have come here from home. Now I have to go to some place where I have always gone from home and never from office. What do I do ? I go home first and from there I go to that place. It doesn’t matter if it is a longer distance or takes more time. I have to do this, because simply have no mechanism to re-align my mental map to my present location ! Situation 4 - Another thing is that if I have come to your place in ...

The balance of nature

The Japan earthquake and tsunami managed to bring tears to my eyes. It is terrible to see the amount of damage …to humans, to property, to the landscape…to lives…and it will take ages to restore some sense of normalcy. Life as they knew it before this disaster is lost forever for all the affected people…those who are still alive. :( Call me weird or naïve or stupid or un-informed or anything, but I really believe that we humans have managed to bring things to such a level where Nature has to act to restore the balance. How else does one explain the rise in the frequency of natural disasters and the increased intensity of the damage they cause each time they occur ? The uncontrolled population increase over the centuries itself has been responsible in robbing the Earth of its natural resources. Add to it the greed of humans…we can’t take just as much as we need…we have to take more and hoard. We don’t think of preservation, of regeneration or of repaying what was taken. We cross the ...

My food memories

I was just browsing the prompts on nablopomo for an idea for a post and I caught the word “food” and suddenly it clicked…a lot for food memories came rushing to my mind. So this post is about my food memories. My earliest memory about a new food that I tried and liked goes back to when I was five. We used to live in Mumbai (Bombay, as it will always be for me). In our building there were two girls, twins actually, who were the same age as me. My family is vegetarian (but did not impose it on my brother and me) and their family was non-vegetarian. So one day when I had gone to their house to play, it was nearly lunch time and their mother asked me whether I’d like to eat with them. I agreed. Then suddenly she remembered that we were vegetarians. So she went upstairs, took permission from my mother (some vegetarians are strict and do not eat at homes of non-vegetarian people). Since in our family, it was left to individual choice, my mother said, let her try it. If she likes it, let h...
