Time is flying


Yesterday morning, after I said my prayers, I asked God to make the day pass by quickly. And, guess what, he really did listen! The day just flew by, with little work, lots of breaks and some fun events. In the end, it was one of the best days at office. Thank you!

Now, its Saturday. Weekend. And this time, it's time to pamper myself. Something that hasn't been done in quite some time now. I'll relax and take break from everything. Cellphones included. It seems like ages since I last had this lazy relaxed weekend. All this time, with so much work to do, every weekend goes by in a blink of eye.
So is the life going! Too fast to stop by and savor moments. Work. Eat. Sleep. And so on. It's getting hard to catch up with family and friends, like I should be doing. Even making calls seems like a big task, with little time and so much work to do.

Why is time flying so fast? I want to pause things for a while. This isn't how it should be! Life should go slow, like a long drive, giving chance to look around and observe things and fall in love with them. It should not be a race. And in this race of time, my heart sinks deeper and deeper every passing day. Every time I look at my watch, I realize its lesser time than before and he'll be leaving soon. Very soon. I don't know how long it will be before I'll get to see him again. Two years, till his studies get over? Maybe more. Who knows. One thing that I know is that he is taking a part of me with him and, needless to say, I'll miss 'LIFE' without it. My heart.

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...
