I've never believed in the concept of best friends. I've seen people: Best friends today, go separate ways tomorrow(family moves or whatever); people miss each other so much that it affects your studies, food habits, your daily life!
If I look at it all now, I smile.

I am not a heartless person to say, "you are crazy to have a true friend you can trust". I do have a lot of friends. In fact, I cannot live if there are no people around.
Just that, I never really felt the necessity to trust anyone so much as I had my mom always by my side.

I wanted to share a joke, she was there; I wanted to go for the movies, she was there; I wanted to go shopping, she was there; I wanted to cry, she was there; I wanted to tell: someone hurt me, she was there; I wanted someone to share the day's events(be it school, college or work), there she was!!!

She was a working mom, but she was there for me every step of my life!

When you grow older, you need your mom more. I am feeling things that I thought I never would feel. Well! Call me crazy. But I've seen kids(with siblings) fight over their mother-every one wants a share of their mom. Those times, I am so lucky that I can have my mom all to myself.

P.S: People with siblings, no harm meant to you. Just felt lucky today. Spilled it here.

    So true about how we need our mom all the more as we grow older! And I should say that both I and my sister have our fair share and more of Amma! Just now and then the "J" factor sets in when they go out on a family dinner :D

Isha Yoga

Though I knew it, one of our family brought it to light that it has been a long time I posted here. I'd love to say that the last few weeks were pretty hectic & I just couldn't find time to write something here. Not so! The last few weeks have been totally different. I've had the time to do so many things that were in my "to do" list for a long time. Thanks to better management of time & sleep. The secret: a seven day yoga program. A very close friend forced me to join this course. I was hesitant & skeptical. I was not sure I was up for the 30 min twice a day commitment(40 days). I have a toddler & I really toggle between her & other work at home already. Plus what big change would come? But somehow, I registered for this class. Since I read somewhere that they give discount for married couples, I brought G in too(though the main reason would be to make sure I get through the 40 days). From the day I registered till the 1st day at class, this...

Where the tigers dwell

Exploring India's premier national park in Uttarakhand was a long-held dream realized. Jim Corbett National Park not only acquainted me with its resident tigers but also offered insights into the life of Jim Corbett himself. His literary works sparked my curiosity and offered company during breaks between safaris. Numerous moments left me in awe: The gentle descent of golden leaves from the towering Sal trees. The profound silence enveloping the forest. To interpret the language of the forest. The majestic presence of the Ramganga river. Witnessing two fish owls unsuccessfully pursue a yellow-throated martin. Hearing the measured tread of a tiger through the dry leaves and finally seeing it in its habitat(more than once). Perusing Jim Corbett's books within the park. Recognizing the profound significance of such sanctuaries, benefiting both wildlife and personal introspection. At times, the safaris seemed like a quest, a fervent pursuit to sight tigers. The outings typically co...
