Back to Blogging



Back to Blogging - after an ERA


I do realize I haven't blogged for a Very Very long time. There have been several things that have happened during these few years. Has Life been so good and have all nice things happened - NO

I have had some amazingly challenging situations and some super awesome moments too - just like everyone else - all the time :) :)

I have also realized that Facebook takes away my thoughts in a more instant fashion and I do not blog - BUT it also dawned on me that I get more joy from blogging my heart out than I get out of writing a 4 liner as an FB status.

Lots of things on my mind and tonnes of stuff that I want to write about. I wish I had 8 hands and could type 4 coherent thought streams in parallel.

Life has been tough - its has been truly like one of those rides with all the ups and downs in an amusement park and YET - I would not change a thing.

I have also seen cases where someone has messed up - truly totally messed up - they got up , took a decision to not wallow in self pity and took action. Moved on - There is only 1 life and you get to CHOOSE how to ACT and what you make of it (no matter what happens to you).

We decided to make life a little interesting and so we moved 15,000 Miles west - lock stock and barrel to adjust to a new place - make new friends and find some fun in life - break the routine - build a life and a home at a new place - kind of get a new identity - has it been easy - Hell NO - would we do it if  we knew the future - I might hold back for a while but We would still do it. These are the chances that you get once in a lifetime ( disguised as situations where you need to take a decision) - use those opportunities......

In the recent past I have been attending quite a few courses on leadership and the associated soft skills that come with it... I plan to write a few posts on that alone in the near future... so keep watching...

While I have had several recommendations to turn my Blog to be a career / professional discussion hub (more so for women) - I have resisted from doing so.

My Blog is a reflection of who I am in totality. I am as much a career gal as I am a mom and as much as I love my nail enamel and lipsticks and handbags. I mean I write as a person in totality - so that I have the freedom to rant and rave about a variety of topics...... keeping it to one area of my life - would just be that .......one part of me talking ...

So Good / Bad News based on how you take it - you will continue to hear from me on my woes on different topics ranging from How to keep the American Accent out of my Child's Telugu to My struggles at work to balance florescent green nail polish with a taupe colored footwear :P :P.

And no there will be no Topics like World Peace or Carrots and Peas.

So much for coming back to blogging - I DO want to keep up at it this time...... I hope I do cause I love doing this - its just that the blog doesn't act like a needy child and yell my name once a month... just that and then there is TV.......

So till I write again - Ciao and this time hopefully very soon....
