Conflict.. is it?

There are two oft-quoted statements frequently running in my mind:

1. Out of sight ~ Out of mind
2. Absence makes the heart grow fonder

I wonder how many of us encounter these situations as we move ahead in the journey of our lives. Whether we are in touch with the people who mean a lot to us are not, the together-moments that we cherished once should become the pleasant memories. Nostalgia need not be a punishment - it can surely be soothing and relieving. And that's why, though i am cautioned by my loving bro, i can't stop living in the past...

Rain Rain

Even as a li'l girl, I always thought of rain to be a wonderful accomplice to hide our tears - but when i heard an actor mouth it in a movie, i was frankly disappointed - Plagiarism i thought.

Now i am 40 but even now my idea of enjoying myself in the rain is by following a few steps: getting wet in the rain~dance & drench myself thoroughly~followed by tears~be it of joy or sorrow, just bring them on and that's it- that should be the ultimate culmination. Though for some years now it has become a luxury because as a mother, i just cannot take the risk of exposing my kiddos to the rain. I don't know how the rain that was harmless for me in my childhood can do any harm to my kids -i have no answer. I also do not have the heart to become a demo-piece for them by asking them to stay indoors and i do the jubiliation in the rains.

The other side of the rain that bothers me as a domestic manager: home gets all squishy-squashy; clothes do not dry; never-ending supply of umbrellas to family, visitors and servants; craving for hot savories and maybe a lot more. If all these are taken care of, i would love to take go out into the rain wearing a raincoat and first water my rain-soaked plants and then melodramatically pull out the raincoat and dance in the rain and the sequence follows :)

I Love Nuts

"For legal terms she could be my sister in law.. but in reality she is like an older sister to me. Very emotional yet sane.. very sweet yet witty.. very organized yet worried ;) When I first met her she had this twinkle in her eye that drew me to become friends with her and we have shared the good the bad the gossip and still do .. so she is like my confidante and I'm her best critique.. (atleast I think I am) Hmm.. she is a hardcore cusp of a capricorn blended aquarian.. loves to meet new faces but so attached to her roots :) In a nutshell... she is NUT in a hard shell that can never be cracked;) Love ya sweetie.. you are the best:) God bless ya!!"


Well that was a testimonial on my Orkut Page given my sweet sis-in-law (my younger bro's wife) This was way back in 2008 i guess :)
She knew me so well though in a short span of time - she has been my inspiration to retain the cheer within me. In fact, she brought a lot of cheer and joy to our family when she got married to my brother in 2003. 


She probably never knew so long wat her testimonial meant to me. Moreso, it came at a time when i probably needed it the most and i still need it. I keep looking into it quite often to ascertain that watever study she has made of me is indeed right :)
And so that i don't cut a sorry figure, i continue to retain that twinkle in my eye - come wat may and remain a hard shell that can never be cracked - the NUT that i am :)

..am loving it..
