Go shopping!

    
Today was a bad day. All I did was sleep! Usually I enjoy sleeping a lot, but not the way it was today. I wasn't feeling well, and was struck by fatigue. And I just don't like that feeling! Moreover, I had planned to study, and sleep spoiled all my plans. And when finally I picked up the books and sat for studying, I had a fight and I was super angry. My head started aching, and I just couldn't concentrate on studying despite trying hard. So, I decided to go out. Though my foot was paining, but I just couldn't stay like that. So, I got ready and went out for window-shopping, which turned into real-shopping as I liked a t-shirt and bought it. Also, I bought two greeting cards. And, all of it really helped to chill my mood. Hence proved: Shopping is really a stress buster!

  1. I guess that's why they call it retail therapy! I wish that I could alleviate some stress by going and spending some money, but I would just feel too guilty. Perhaps one day I will make up for it by going on a large shopping spree.... maybe.... one day.

  2. Exactly how I was feeling today, except the shopping didn't exactly help. I hate sleeping in the day too because when I wake up I have a really hot mouth and feel more tired than before.

  3. I agree completely. They say that its not actually what you buy, but the process of searching that takes your mind off problems and stress.

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked.  Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l...

I am thankful for

1. Naps: I had been in sleep debt for such a long time now, and over this weekend I slept well and a lot, and I feel like I have some energy back.  2. Alone time: My roommate was busy this weekend, and I was all alone- just doing my sleeping, laundry, reading. Like I have said before , it is a recharge for me to spend some time with just myself without the need to talk or be there for others.  3. Work: Past few months were a long, painful wait to get work. I used to hate those days when I was just waiting and it made me feel so worthless. But finally, I have got it! Bonus point: the perfect location- it's a five minute walk to a beautiful park facing a lake. I have been going there every day during lunch.  4. Fights: Normally, fights aren't something people are thankful for. But sometimes they show you how people care for you or how much you mean to them, so yeah today I am thankful for few. 5. A good news: My childhood friend got engaged! Yay!...

There I was: a story

There I was. Standing in the midst of the hustling crowd, all excited faces around me, all waiting for a change - a new start. Some of them might want a new life, a new career, a new direction or maybe even a new love, but they all had one thing in common - all they wished was to leave behind their past full of mistakes and bad memories, a past filled with betrayals and broken hearts, a past that witnessed all disappointments and let downs. They wanted to put it all behind them, and start over new. They all needed to move on, just as this night would leave behind the darkness and turn into a beautiful canvas, with sparkles all over it, in few minutes. Yes, it's the New Year's Eve party. And I could see all eyes around me carrying that sparkle in them, ready to take risks, ready to go for another adventure, to face their fears, to dare playing with their hearts again. I was wondering what I was doing there, I had no one to be with, no one to kiss at the new year. Go...
