I’ve been traveling a lot for work lately and all I can say is – I’m exhausted: tired to the core, tired to the bone And then I wonder, how on earth am I supposed to practice my fertile heart duties – or do I not want a child that desperately? Oh, the heart questions!…
Every time I wonder if I need to make changes one step at a time or judging by past history and my propensity to fizzle out on Day 3 of any new change; should I draw a line in the sand and just go all-out? I need a radical change to get my life in…
As I sit here at the Airport, happy with the outcomes of the work trip and enjoying driving around in sunny Queensland – I just realized that for the last few days – nay weeks and months all I am eating is crap 😦 If I were to be truly fertile and nurture my own…
This morning I woke up simply so I could write – for the next few days I’ll be writing to my heart’s content – get the grief on paper so to speak and then plan my way forward. The journey has been an endless, fraught with disappointments and indeed a painful one. It started like it…
I had no idea a book could provide a ray of hope – books have always been my solace, my escape from reality, my guideposts and friends. But this book “The Fertile Female: How the Power of Longing for a Child Can Save Your Life and Change the World” with it’s ambitious title brought back…
A broken dream, a smothered ray of hope An empty space, a wish gone up in smoke A life incomplete, a missing piece of soul A desire unmet, a bottomless black hole A dagger to faith, a stormy sea of doubt A fearful breath, a fragmented sprout A lonely leaf, marking sands of time A…
I came across a very interesting term: Emotional Vampires: People who suck the good out of every relationship. I was pretty naive about such things before but in the last decade I have come across a fair few such beings, unfortunately some in my close family (Not blood relatives of course 😉 ) No matter…
1st of January, a new beginning, an infusion of hope and dreams of a better year ahead. This year certainly feels a lot more special. We watched the fireworks on TV and I was awed by the waterfall effect..of seeing golden liquid cascade from my beloved Harbour Bridge, the sky full of a thousand splendid…
Facebook launched a new app recently to commemorate a decade of their existence. Its been a decade? The movie helped me walk down memory lane in the times of Orkut, waiting for a scrap and vying for good testimonials. Then followed the expectant wait for that much talked about Facebook invite which almost became a…
Since I moved to the city and the new job what I missed most about my old job was lunch with work mates. We were a motley group of engineers and marketing people and the hour long lunch breaks by the lovely campus lake was always the high point of my day. Fast forward to…
In order to meet my smart goals, I set the timer to 5 minutes and decided to meditate. I went in with no expectations or rule and realized there is a constant stream of dialogue in my mind. I decided not to check my thoughts and observe the chatter and those 5 minutes felt no…
There is something about Airports that never fails to mesmerize. The constant hub of activity, of farewells and tears, of smiles and cheers, the excitement about lands unknown, the comfort of coming home. We stuck to at least one new year’s resolution of waking up early since we had to drop off a friend to…
As part of Project Girlification, I have decided to try make an effort to make hairdresser appointments, try and maintain a decent wardrobe and remember to wear something more than my clothes and smile when on my way to work. I still have a looong way to go..like how can women possibly enjoy hours at…
I spent all of Saturday achieving my clean space zen. There is something so mindful and peaceful about dusting, putting things in place, arranging and re-rearranging things that cannot be found doing anything else. I finally decided to get a hold on various versions floating about in my Apple devices and have them almost synched…
Most days I am bursting with ideas to write, I have pages and pages of unbound words swirling in my mind, a storm of thoughts and rhymes and feelings. But when it is time to put pen to paper, or in this day and age..fingers on keyboard , I find myself scrutinizing my work with…
