Am Back!

Am Back!
I have come back-home sweet home!
After a hiatus of 9 months, here I am.
Chennai (as everything else in Life) has indeed changed.

It has been an eventful 9 months in the US of A for me.
Had a lot of fun, new experiences, some let downs and disappointments thrown in for balance, learnt new stuff-on the whole enjoyed myself and now have come away with a whole bunch of bittersweet memories.

Goodbyes to places I have grown accustomed to, things I have been used to and more importantly farewells to the wonderful people I have come to know and the different kinds of relationships I have shared with each one of them. People who have made me laugh and made me cry. People who have been there for me. People who have been as equally crazy as I am!!

Really want to write down a memoir for each of my fav person.
Memory has a funny way of fading and mutating with time.
I don’t want to wake up one day and struggle to remember all the beautiful times that I have spent with these people. (What if I get Alzhiemer’s or something??!!)

I was just thinking- off late my life seems to have a series of farewells, a quick succession of "Dunno if we will meet again"and " Hope we will meet again someday" .
The world is supposed to have become a smaller place-I do hope that is sooo true.
Because there are some people like P, S, V whom I seriously wish that I will get to be with again.
If I do, then I would be a very lucky gal!
So hope its just an Au revoir and not an Adieu folks!

Words....

I really like the various languages of this world. Not that I know too many-just a handful. But still I have always been more fascinated by words than pictures.
Even while choosing greeting cards I first look at the wordings rather than the pictures. A beautiful description of a dress or a delicious dessert attracts me more than a photo of the same would. Why? Maybe my mind adds some personal touches and imagines it more vividly and customizes according to what I want to see?!?
After all most times in life we really see only what we want to see isn’t it?
And agreed that there are zillions of words floating around in this world- half of which we are not even aware of! Words can heal or steal, they can create joy and laughter as well as sadness and sorrow, they can make or break, they have the power to shatter and destroy or the power to create and change. Some of the words that were spoken to you or by you could stay with you forever.

But for some time now I have been wondering....
Are there enough words in any language to describe everything?
Can every emotion that a person feels be captured in a word? Or can the meaning of a look or a sigh or a touch be conveyed through just words however articulate a person might be? Or for that matter are there words to name every relationship that we ever share in our lives?
There are words which might come close to describing some of the above but can a word ever really capture them truly and fully? I doubt it.

Maybe that’s why, sometimes when we so want to express something we are at a loss for words.
Maybe that’s why some of the most memorable and best moments of our lives are those spent in silence.
In articulate, meaningful, throbbing, vibrant and lively silence.

GROSS!

Saw Texas Chain Saw Massacre! Sheesh! What a gory movie!!!!
Why on earth do guys dig such craazzyyyy movies :-((

Mazhai Mazhai!

Its raining!
I smelt it and knew before I saw it!
One of my favourite smells-Rain and Earth smell the same back home too :-)

Mood Off!

I had to call the help desk at my office in the morning and they put me on hold.
What a ssaaaddd music to play as the On Hold tune!!
I dont know if it is a famous piece of music but it was so melancholic that after listening to it for 5 minutes my heart felt so heavy!!!
Wonder who selected this one! Can't they keep something lively!

Follow up!

Everyone said my hair cut looked good :-))

Mane Matters

I had a hair cut today!

So now I lost all the straightened part of my hair and its back to wavy wavy.

Its still shoulder length-don't think short hair will suit me.

I always go in thinking that I will just get a plain, simple and neat style but I always give into temptation and get something else done ;-)

And I think so much about getting a haircut but after I do it, when I see my locks on the floor, i feel soooo guilty about cutting them off!

Oh well I think it looks good. If not-it will grow back anyways :-))
