The Significant Others

The most enjoyable place I have ever gone to is Maldives. Knowing my passion to see and explore new places and my affinity for water, Maldives tour was a gift from my husband on our fist anniversary. It was really special, especially because my husband is a non swimmer and not very fond of water but for my liking, gifted this destination travel to me. The place is an island with deep blue water all around. We took an air taxi ride to have the aerial scenic beauty view. It was a breath taking view. I enjoyed the place because it was the first time I went deep sea walking to see a school of fishes and also swam deep into the sea to see the coral reef. My poor husband sat near the sea shore basking in the sun and waiting for me. I guess this is called true love where one does not look for your benefit but to make your significant half happy and content.

Money making machine or relaxing?

Everyone has a hobby or two and surely I also fall in the category of everyone. This question is being answered in a very plain and simple way. My hobbies are singing, swimming and traveling to different places and exploring new places. To put it straight and simple, I have been able to pursue my hobbies to some extent even now. The ideal situation would be if your hobby becomes your profession but very few are able to achieve it. But my opinion is that hobby should remain a hobby of liking and not become your profession because once your hobby becomes money making machine, somewhere you lack the passion and the liking for your hobby and would do it at a same mundane way without putting any efforts into it. Hobby is something which gives you satisfaction and a way to distress yourself from the grilling tasks of life.

The Dumping Ground

The most recent dinner I had would be yesterday. Believe me when you become a mother, you become the dumping station for your kids. If they can’t finish their food, it is always taken for granted that mommy will finish it for them. That is the sorry state of affairs in my house too. So if I have to summarise of my recent dinner, it would be part of my son’s dinner and part of my daughter’s dinner and after stuffing all this, I was not at all prepare d to have my own dinner. Talk about being a dustbin. But at the end of it, if my kids have had a fill of their share, I am satisfied with my dinner too.

Pitter Patter Rain Drops

All the seasons bring with them some freshness and a reason to fret and fume. All the seasons are important to have to break the monotony in our lives and to relive our lives in different forms of weather conditions but one of my all times favourite season is the monsoon. I still remember when we were school kids, we had to walk to our bus stop to catch the bus and during rainy season, the roads used to be filled with water and we used to wear our raincoats and gum boots and wade through water to reach our bus stop. Those memories are very fresh in my mind even today and seeing my kids do that now, it gets the past back to the present. Given a chance, I can still go out and have a wale of a time in the rains and have a rain dance but I guess I satisfy myself seeing my kids enjoy the pitter patter of the rain drops.
