Walking the world !

All I want to do today is disappear in nature's lap of beauty !




Have you ever felt the need to run away from daily rut of life without thinking of coming back... with no maps and no roads to guide you...

I want to wake up, smell the coffee and take a morning walk in Vienna...

I want to hear birds chirping in the spring on a warm sunday in Sydney....

I want to be able to swim in Goa and then walk over the water to the shore...

I want to ride my teenage cycle while listening to music in the streets of Berlin..

I want to see a lion in Masai Mara..

I want to sit on a terrace in the crooked street in San Francisco and sip tea...

I want to read a book in Harvard university's garden....

I want to jump off a cliff and dive into water in lake Powell

I want to drive fast on the London bridge...

And come back to home-cooked food and a dinner with family..

Am I asking for too much??

If you ever had this chance, in a world without borders... where would you go? Let your imagination run wild !

Reader's Digest !!

I am amazed that things like these actually happen these days...

Its good to read !

A blast from the past !

Found this old blog sitting in my inbox..

I wrote it 5 years back !! this was the first blog I ever wrote :-)

And I am left wondering how drastically life has changed in past 5 years !! phew !

Here it goes... the first blog of my life (a blast from the past)


********************************************************************************

It's been hell of a day. Not that it's any different from daily routine. But, like always I convice myself that it has been a great day. It'll have to change some day-some time.

Waking up everyday after parents leave for work is nothing new to me, not coz i have to lock my home properly because of the recent murder in my locality....in the bustling and ever busy Delhi.......but because of the simple reason that now The Freedom begins.......

Well, YES it doesn't seem anything less than the freedom INDIA got at mid-night, the only difference is......I get it at 9 in the morning. Just when I have settled in the mood of doing something different and constructive everyday (for a change) ........... the phone starts ringing and it is mommy the dearest enquiring about her little one's well-being, Are you out of bed now???? , Have you had your breakfast????

I guess she still thinks I am a 5 year old child......nonetheless, the conversation ends soon!!!! Gathering some courage, i again decide to make my day different, but decide to watch some crappy soaps on TV or try to do something useful on Computer (My Best Friend). But, even before i realise, it's 5.30 in the evening.....

Now, it's time to tidy the home, have my lunch and of course....... take a bath and prop up in the bed with boring course books, as if I never took my eyes off them...... "The whole DAY long" ...... Alas, the doorbell rings and one-by-one my younger sister, my mummy and papa come back home after a tiring day!!!! Again the time flies by and i end up crashing in my bed with a resolution to make my next day somewhat Different and Constructive!!!

In the safety and warmth of my quilt I wonder, is it just my free time or am i really lazy........and i realise..... That's Me....... Who the hell wants to change???? ;)

P.S. Now that I am married, I don't mind my mother calling me 5 times a day to ask how I am :-) (Guess that's what's called growing up !!)
