I tend to tire of things after a period..thankfully..the trait does not extend to people..or so i like to think :) I think i tired of the blog too..the colours..the theme just didn't do it for me...

The change now is in keeping with the theme in my life currently...underwater..the sea..

There is something about the sea that has always tugged at my soul. Never have I felt as much at peace with myself, as much in awe of nature, as much in love with the world as when I am near the sea...Never has anything in nature given me so much insight into myself....not with anything else can I identify as closely as I can with the sea

The pull of a calm sea is enchanting, as it invites you into its open arms..to partake of the beauty it offers, of the tranquility it lends to everything around and within you. You wade in a little, and are delighted with the soft kisses, the way the waters tease you, not knowing when it will decide to give into your yearning, let you have a taste of its cool comfort. As you go in deeper, the water takes you in comepletely, covering you with all the goodness in it. You let it wash over you and feel it ebb and rise with each wave..feel yourself buoyed each time it comes to take you in again...feel the pull as it pulls away from you...the sea is the place I would want to live in..

But as you go in deeper, you realise all's not as beautiful, not as guileless as it seemed to be. The kisses, the teasing, the all enveloping arms are only at the surface..below are strong currents, angry currents..strong enough to uproot you completely..angry enough that you might not survive if it decides to direct it's wrath at you. As you feel the currents under you..as one huge wave after another tries to get you down, as you struggle to fight for breath after each wave that lashes at you..you're awed by the sheer power of water. Everytime you come up for air..you see either solid land..far far behind..or the vast expanse of water..shimmering in the sun..each angle a different hue..way beyond what the eyes can see..and you cannot but be humbled by the realisation of how tiny a speck you really are...how insignificant in the larger scheme of things your day to day tragedies are..

That is what the sea offers me....open acceptance of who I am..what I stand for. At the same time.. it humbles me completely..offers me solace from what I consider insurmountable difficulties, takes me way beyond petty thoughts..helps me put things in perspective..

I leave this week to find myself again..to come back renewed with a sense of who I am....to come back put firmly back in my place :)

How we broke up and rebuilt our relationship : 7 rules that helped us build a solid marriage

Image
  Read it on Medium here   My husband and I have been married for more than a decade now and have been partners for almost double that. Today, we have a fairly solid marriage; meaning there are days we absolutely cannot stand each other but still manage to work like a well-oiled machine. And there are most of the other days where we know without a doubt that there is no one else we would rather spend our lives with. This well-oiled machine did not spring up overnight though. The drafts were made much before we even got married. Because much before we actually got married, we broke up. Much like a phoenix, we rose from the ashes. We crashed and burnt. But, we also rebuilt something from those ashes. We rebuilt a stronger relationship and ultimately our marriage.   The history When the man and I met, we were young, starry eyed and hopelessly in love. We moved quickly. Within a few months, we moved into a house and less than a year in, we moved cities so he could be closer to his family.

Good News:)))) No not those kinds....

YIPPEEE:))))) Someone teach me how to do the tribal dance, or I'll horrify people here with my utterly graceless prancing...yess....I got a, well, kinda promotion and I got a HIKE. Am I on top of the world or what... List of things to do with extra cash... 1) Look for a proper house, now that I can pay decent rent 2) Buy that MP3 player I've been eyeing for so long??? 3) Get a new wardrobe???? 4) Join music classes??? 5) Party harder :))) 6) Buy a washing machine??? Shit.....I gotta choose now...how I hate this, why didn't I get a good enough hike to be able to do aallll of that??? But I got a hike nevertheless..sorry, cannot wipe that goofy smile off my face for sometime now :P. Have been house hunting for the past few days now, and it is so damn difficult. Suddenly, even the auto wallah who lives in a proper house as aginst a room seems better placed in life than me. First I go the broker and tell him what I'm looking for and my budget, and invariably, the first thing

Sistersick :((((((

Parents decided to surprise sister; gifted her a cellphone. Had called me for expert opinion, and then decided to dump it in the garbage and go right ahead with exactly what I had advised against. All that apart, had asked to be on the phone while giving it to sis, and this is how it went: Sis: "This is for me???" (can imagine slightly rounder eyes on face) Mom, dad and (me(from the other end of country on phone)): "Yes baby!" Sis: " Really???" (slightly highpitched voice now) (to me now) "Akka, I think ammam chinni have bought me a cellhpone(in an awed voice)" Sis(after finally opening box) : " THAAAANK YOU!!!!" (in a voice people sitting in the front in my cab can hear) Me: (goofy smile on face..no words..too overcome by emotion just imagining the look on sister's face. ) .......................................... Seems like today's going to be nothing but "thoughts of sister" day! Wandering through
