Things I miss


As you all know, last week I moved to a new city- which means a new but empty apartment. And there's only so much you can stuff into two suitcases. So it is going to take some time to make this into a home. It is going to be gradual, depending on each paycheck. But, right now I really miss:
  1. My camera: Thanks to baggage restrictions on flights, I had to leave my camera behind with my friend for time being. And being in a new city and also buying new things and decorating my place, I want to take pictures of everything. I guess the phone will have to do for now.
  2. Half of my wardrobe: Like I said, thanks baggage restrictions.
  3. Dresser: I like organizing things in drawers, especially the tiny stuff. I can't figure out where to put all of it till the time I find a good dresser.
  4. Bed: Sleeping on layers of comforters until my bed gets delivered sometime next week.
  5. Desk: I like to work on a writing desk, for blogging or anything else I have to do on my laptop. Also, I like a place to put all my sharpies and post-its and journals. 
  6. Routine: I have a few days of wait before I will start working, and I just miss having some kind of schedule for my day. Everyone says I should enjoy this while it lasts, and I know so too. But, too much nothing is exhausting.
  7. My people: The hardest part about moving is leaving people behind. Yes, there are phones and Facebook and all that and we can stay in touch, but it just isn't the same. Sometimes, you just need a silent hug. Come on technology, work on it!
How about you, scribblers? Is there anything that you are missing?

  1. I'm currently on vacation at my brother's house. There's definitely a lot of things I miss:

    1. My husband. He had to work and was unable to join me
    2. The gym. I hate paying daily fees for the gym here, so I usually just do workouts in the living room.
    3. Routine. Like you, I enjoy having a set schedule. It helps me feel organized.

  2. I'm house sitting/ dog sitting across town at my mother's and I just miss the comfort of my own space. This is my childhood home but it's just not the same when you've moved out years ago and you've moved on, grown up and have your own abode.

    Hopefully you can get a camera soon!

    1. Thanks Lindsay.. And I totally understand the space thing- I was there last month. You just need your own space sometime, to do things your way at your pace. Or just not do anything :p

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...
