Happy New Month!

I love October!
        

It is my favorite month. Maybe because it is the month in which I was born.. That means, my birthday is approaching. And I am so happy and excited for that. Also, this year the festival of Diwali is also on the same date as of my birthday; which means, whole country will celebrate my birthday! (Sounds great..) The only thing I don't like about this is that there will be no birthday party this year, as festival means being at home with family and relatives. So, friends will have to wait for treat. I, somehow, enjoy birthday parties only when on the same day as of birthday. Otherwise I get a feeling of just another get-together, nothing special! Anyways, I am excited like a little child for my birthday, especially for the gifts :p Let's see if I get any this year! Jokes apart, the thing that i enjoy the most is the company of my loved ones and my friends, which is not going to be possible this year. My best friend will also not be here, as she is leaving for her job in two days. I'll miss her a lot, and thinking that she'll be gone in next two days makes my heart sink.. From the love and friendship side, I will be kind of lonely on this birthday, but, for a change, after many years I'll be celebrating birthday at home. I am just looking forward to a good day! 
    
What's most exciting thing for you about your birthday?

  1. I too love October! It is definitely my favourite month. My birthday is in May, though. I don't really celebrate. In fact, I don't think I have celebrated my birthday or any birthday for that matter in a number of years. The day just kind of passes like any other day, except with a bunch of "happy birthday" messages on facebook which is okay by me.

  2. Happy October 1st!
    I know exactly what you mean about not enjoying birthday parties unless they are on the same day as the actual birthday. I get that feeling about holidays all the time; they can only be rightly celebrated on that day.
    I do love October, and hopefully it'll be lovely and cool all the way through.

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...
