Just About Everything

I had a great time shopping for indoor plants last weekend.My home has more colour now. It looks so much better with greens. And peaceful... Excellent stress buster.

Had a wonderful, absolutely yummy lunch on Friday. It was sponsored by my office and we had a wonderful time. Sharing pics of some of the stuff we had :) (clicked by my colleague) I am feeling hungry again...

If I let myself be...I will really get into severe depression...people are losing jobs...life is getting more and more insecure...one is not sure if one is going to come back alive... If i let all this bother me...I will really want to roll into a blanket dive under the bed and just stay there and possibly die...Morbid... No way...I will not let that happen ever! You see...I have been much too depressed with things that have beenhappenning all around me..uncertainties...unfairness... All this existed earlier as well...but these days the frequency seemsto have gone up dramatically:( I feel down and out almost always...but is that helping me? No, not at all. Have not posted in my blog in ages!Have not felt like it. I have been happy to feel sad. Happily sad. I realized today, that I have made my life miserable by simplythinking of what might happen if something happens... Gosh! What a waste of time! I realized there are so may good things going on in my life too but I have happilydecided...

Wishing all a very very Happy, peaceful and prosperous new 2009!

There are friends of mine who need someone...even if they need to go to the bank.They find it very odd to be doing things like shopping, eating in a restaurant or any other errands on their own. While I prefer to do most things on my own. Especially shopping, unless i am with a person who is very like-minded. That's because If I have ten things to buy and I have someone with me who just needs to buy a couple of things...it would really be insensitive of me drag that person along for everything. Unless of course that person really enjoys it...for most people it becomes boring. And I would not be able to shop at ease either...'cause I would be thinking if the other perosn is comfortable giving so much time to me. It is indeed a pleasure to get company whenever you need depending upon the situation...eating out...watching a film together...but if one can't function without company..life can be tough. What do you think?

Afternoons have always been very blue for me:( Since I was a child...the thought of afternoon would depress me...i guess it dates back to the days when I would come back from school and have my lunch and then do my homework or get some sleep. (Not necessarily in that order) But both the tasks were not my favourites of course. Play was certainly not allowed:( I remember looking out of the window and waiting for evening to set in...when everything would feel good...there would be activity (I guess for me activity translated to play) ...and the crows would stop their "caws""caws" at least for a while (the sound would depress me always!) After so many years, afternoons still has the same effect on me. At work I barely realize the onset of afternoons so it does not matter. But when I am at home and if I am alone with no books to read or any good films to watch...I again get into afternoon depression:( I like mornings, evenings and nights a lot but afternoons...i don'...

Bandhavgarh National Park is situated in Umaria, Katni districts of Madhya Pradesh.It is around 164 kms from Jabalpur (rail head) . The national park is beautiful....There is a fort up the Bandhavgarh hill. The fort is said to have built about 2000 years ago.We could not trek it:( We barely had time but maybe next time... It has been a while since I went for a trip to a national park, the last one was early 2007 and this trip was a year before that...but what a trip and a half that was! We stayed at the White tiger forest lodge of Madhya Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation forest.Great accomodation and good food. It was a very short trip. Just about 2 days ...and guess what? We sighted the Tiger on the 2nd day. Infact there were two tigers... I still remember the moment...we were sitting on an elephant and we had to go off the main road and inside the jungle.... I still get goose bumps just thinking about that moment...what magnificant creatures!
