HAPPY DEEPAWALI

Dear All,

The festival that reflects spirit of ONE INDIA is back again. The festival that shows that Indians can brighten even the darkest amavasya. The festival that sweetens the spirits.

And on this festival, I greet you, wishing a very happy, prosperous, safe and cheerful Diwali.

Eat sweets and dry fruits, Light up the houses and spirits, throw away the dirt and spread the message of unity.

Also, try staying away from crackers. And when you burst one, try recalling the children who are 'employed' in making them.

HAPPY DEEPAWALI TO ALL.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAOMI

As the title suggests, this post goes to you, birthday gal. 

Naomi, it seems like yesterday when you used to dismiss my hairstyle as horrendous and almost laughed at me wearing bathroom slippers in college.

TIME FLIES.

We have become friends. Though you still leave no chance to pull my leg;)

You have been jolly and you have been supportive. You have been an example and have been true.

I always carried admiration and respect for you. And this admiration and respect keeps on growing in my heart. 

Through this post, I take the opportunity to wish you on your birthday. May The Almighty showers HIS blessings upon you. And May you continue climbing the ladder of success, always.

MANY MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY.

Change

More often than not, a change instills freshness in life. And I experienced it last week on a two day trip to Chandigarh.

I had always frowned upon my dad's suggestions on accompanying him to the city. To a person living in a metro, a change could never be a trip to another city. "What can I get in Chandigarh that is not available in Delhi?", I asked my dad everytime. To me, mountains or beaches or jungles or countryside. These were the definition of change.

But the trip came as fresh breeze to me. I was amused by the magnificent beauty of the city. Clean roads cutting at right angles. Planned colonies, planned market. Sector 17 was icing on the cake.

The most important thing, I came out of my emotional trough ( read my last post).

Now my dad has asked me to have a trip to Ludhiana. But Mumbai is where I plan to head off to. 

Let's see.
