Life continuum
Days have passed by since I last blogged... I should say months, but that makes me feel vulnerable that I didn't take care of my blog. Not that I have been super busy, but I rather was trying to establish a repertoire with the company in my first few months. Which now, I feel I have accomplished. I feel sorry for the many gtalk offliners, texts, FB wall posts, tweets and IM's that I have missed, but my dear friends, Abi was working towards achieving a goal which you all are part of. I hope am forgiven!
Now let's talk about me. I've had a promising start to my career, thankful to the company for providing the opportunity. Commitments in life are starting to weigh in, with my wishlist adding up. First bullet point - I am looking to buy a car(for those of you who don't know my personal crush -- I am wanting to buy an AUDI). I hope to slowly fulfill one at a time, and keep everyone posted.
Weekdays at work are convincingly longer, but the happiness from "being here, doing that" is priceless. Also, learning is an evolving process, so everyday is interesting.
Weekends for now have been shopping, cooking/baking(learning new things) and of course filing expenses ;) I wouldn't call that a routine life, coz every other week, I have done some interesting things..
Example: in the last 2 weeks, I have totally fallen in love with Kayaking. Will post a new blog about my experience in San Juan Island, but that's where I first did kayaking. And for a beginner to directly dive into sea-kayaking was an overwhelming experience. I didn't capsize, thanks to Andrew and his introductory lessons. Being on a two-person kayak, Anu and I did a fairly decent job of keeping up with our team of experienced kayakers. However, while kayaking back to the shore reverse currents in the sea didn't help. I realized even after gym, my arm strength is nil when compared to the strength of the sea ;) That's not an understatement. But given that experience, river-kayaking was way simpler and smooth. Partly because I also learnt not to waste a lot of energy by pushing the paddle, but smoothing my motion. If only kayaks were not this expensive, I would have obviously got one by EOD yesterday.. Well, for sure this is now added to my wishlist :)
Given all this fun and work, I have somehow lost my sleep for days, if not weeks. To add to it, I don't remember the last time I drank milk. Lack of morning coffee always has a negative impact on me, i tend to feel low and lazy, and it affects my sleep. So on this weekend, I am planning to stay home, eat properly, get my routine back by hitting the gym.
Gym has been my best pal forever.. I go there, I forget what/who exists around me. "It's MY TIME"...I get my workout with my share of music, feel energized! Must admit, kayaking on a day is equal to two days of workout at the gym. So I am not complaining much, but kayaking experience for now is done, I will hit the gym.. Soon, will update on skiing coz winter will be here :D YAY!!
I miss blogging which is an integral part of my life. Will be here quite often here after.

would miss my lil cousins...
There's a whole lot of new happenings around here and it's all so fast, I'm not sure I'll be ready!
Change #1: A big transition from being completely swamped with thesis work to sitting idle at home(pretending to rest). This was one hell of a week where I still couldn't come to terms with myself, after those sleepless nights.
Change #2: In a few weeks from all that drama, I will be moving out of the house that nourished me in the last 3 years, a family that I will miss forever in my life.
Change #3: Though I am moving to a place that is quite familiar to me now, I still feel like I will be a stranger there first up. Need to get settled in a house, start working, buy a car, and then start my daily routines...huh, no comments.
It all started with the realization that I am leaving this family. It made me funk for days. I don't want to say goodbye to this house and the little ones that grew up with me. There is an 8-year old who loves me, and a 2-year old who grew up with me since his day 1. I'm not ready to leave behind his tiny little hands, the cute little smile and hug I get every time he sees me, the bed where he snuggled with me to catch that extra minutes of sleep, after he wakes up from a nap and so on.
Leaving this house is forcing me to realize that he's growing up so fast and for the first time ever I'm noticing that my little baby isn't so much a little baby anymore. It's breaking my heart that so many days slipped right between my fingers and there is nothing I can do to ever get them back. How did that happen?
I've never been good with change. I constantly crave for it but when it finally happens I have the hardest time saying goodbye. Becoming someone who took care of him makes this ten times worse because practically everything you touch becomes a cherished memory. But that is how life is, and we all learn to live with it. I will miss them for sure, but it is time for me to move on..
Love you Nikhil & Nivedha...This one is for you :)
