I am back..after almost a year
and all of you know what took me so long. It was a 3 year old tornado of a
daughter, a mailbox that’s always full of red flagged mails, a house full of
plants that chose to shrivel if I don’t talk while watering them, and
my parents who are staying with us these days and I sometimes wonder how many
children do I have in our house. Amid all this chaos there is G, my source of
infinite strength, love and Rajnikant Jokes.
A year is not a long time you
know, I have seen people staying away from their loved ones, in the name of
work, education,moving on in life etc. But one thing we chose to take a call on
was, no matter what we shall st
ay here in this country, in our country ,
together. We tip toe on littered streets, we show our hands and cross the
roads, we don’t let our three year old play out alone, we do a “parcel” of left
over food at the restaurants, I fight and haggle with stubborn Pune
autowallahs, I celebrate with a home made cup of tea when I strike a deal with
the local Baai to charge me Rs100 less than the usual bartan jhadu pocha rates,
G and Baba love to visit the smelly fish market every Sunday, touch and feel the
stuff on display before the weeks loot is taken ,Maa has her new found friends
, one of who does her eyebrows for free whenever needed and oh yes we have the
luxury of a cook , a maid and also a cleaner.
Who does not love this country !
So amid all this talking,
bargaining, walking cooking, buying grocery, making business pitches, I lost
time for this blog.
This blog taught me to write, to
express myself the way I never did before, it gave me so many applauds and
bravos when someone would read it for the first time , it gave me my first
celebrity moment when someone recognized me in a mall because of my blog, it
gave me so many many wonderful beautiful friends who have stayed with me
through all these 7 years..Oh yes this blog is 7 years old !
So to take care of the seven
years itch, here is my first attempt at getting back to what I have always
loved, writing…and talking.
It about moving ahead, its about
picking up the best from the past and creating something even more beautiful and
most importantly this page will always be about Love and other beautiful
disasters.
