lifes a SWING

CHANGE now thats something that all of us can relate to.Playing with my little kid cousin today in the garden I went to the swings first like i always did.Amidst the swinging and the kid laughing it struck me maybe this might be one of the last few times i can do this.This meaning swing in my house on the swing which has a history of its own.My cousins now all grown up and successful had played in the same 'jhula'[swing],out of the three swings only one survived the years and more importantly the weight:D Numerous birthday parties,celebrations, marriage parties had taken place in this garden.Where five year old me and my cousins ran the everyday running race(i always won just for the record;) This is where i learnt to ride the bicycle falling but learning.I live in a joint family so since i was a kid it was survival of the fittest:)Having no animal phobias(except bees god i hate them),being able to talk to the rudest of people and being comfortable with the boys(having grown up with them) is sum of the things i learnt in my wonderful house.Haha i sound like an old woman reminiscing but i am sure gonna miss my house,the people but the memories will be with me close to my heart.

I Believe I Can Fly..

It rained yesterday!The monsoon has finally arrived to dispel summer.Each one of you probably welcomes the first few monsoon showers which bring relief from two months of anythin but pleasant summer heat.Most of you probably also get repelled by it after the few first few relieving showers turn to incessant downpours which bring along with it long hours of power-cuts,slushy-white-clothes-unfriendly-roads and winds which spoil fashion propah people's hair dos.Well blogs are an individual's views about things so here is my view on the monsoon season.For me the rains bring joy,a feeling of hope emerges within and spreads through out like that new tree growing. The weather perfect,fields turning a delightful green,the wind caressing my face,the birds chirping away for me its pure magic!No don't roll your eyes i'm not one of those hopeless young romantics, i'm here writting this because over the years i have observed the rains always seem to reassure me. Help me believe that my dreams and ambitions are very much attainable maybe its the effect of the small miracles taking place around at this time. Or maybe its just the little school child inside me for whom the monsoons represent a new beginning a chance to start afresh!

P.S:- This is my first attempt at writting a blog,any comments or suggestions are most welcome.
