a memoir of etchings and wanderings
Ever since I was introduced to the world of blogging, I discovered a whole new world. Of people. Their experiences. Of the way people wrote. A look into what they were made of. The reading list on Blogger.com has been increasing and being a part of these blogs has almost become a routine to me. I wouldn’t know what to do, if these people stopped writing. These are my top five, … Continue reading “Day 19# Blogroll” →
Today is about a story from my childhood. Lets begin with saying that being a single child, most of my stories were around me and my parents. Nothing more. Sometimes, less. But what I want to share today is not really a story, has another character – and a setting that very few I know have had the privilege of growing up in. The place I remember living in, from … Continue reading “Day 18# Memories of Old” →
Photograph albums were one of my favourite pastimes growing up, and even though I’ve managed to scan most of the pictures and saved them in my external hard drives, I refer to them from time to time, when I’m in Muscat or Calcutta. It is a very difficult task – to pick a favourite picture of myself. I’ve been lucky to have parents with the love of documentation (Yes, that’s … Continue reading “Day 17# *Click*” →
Out of the many many things that I want to achieve in this limited lifetime, the most prominent one that comes to mind when I am asked, what I really dream of doing is – to build a house, and make it a home. You might say – how materialistic. But only those who don’t have it, know what it means. For the past decade I have seen my parents … Continue reading “Day 16# लक्ष्य” →
A usual day in my life is really not much to talk about – just the general work, home routine where one doesn’t even realise how the weeks and then months fly past. So I thought pictures would add a definite zing (as mentioned in the challenge) – but a picture an hour seemed a bit much, so here we go – a condensed version of a day in my … Continue reading “Day 15# Just Another Day.” →
The first thing that came to my mind when I read today’s topic was the delightful number from my all time favourite film ‘The Sound of Music’. While bright copper kettles and girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes will not make my list of ten things that make me really happy, the following have an almost magical effect, bringing an immediate smile to my face. There are many … Continue reading “Day 14# “These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things”” →
Movies. My one big love. I’m no film critic, but I cannot get enough of them. Not only do they sweep me into some distant story, and then leave me on some desolate coast with the credits running, some of them stay etched in memory forever. Just like my travel lists, there’s a bunch of movie lists I can make. Ones which I could never really understand, the ones which … Continue reading “Day 13# Top Ten!” →
If someone were to ask me this, say – a year ago – I wouldn’t even have to blink before I replied – home. But now the story has changed. I am home. Surrounded by all the comforts and reassurances that family brings. However, the heart is never really satiated. So even though I have nothing to complain about, there are some things I miss dearly. # Mobility. The ability … Continue reading “Day 12# Sorely Missed.” →
Travel! Now this is what I call exciting content. Ah, the thought is so refreshing. It has not even been a month that I’ve been back from my American vacation and am already itching to pack my bags and set off on another trip! In my mind, there are two distinct travel to-do lists. One is the achievable list and the other is the aspirational. But this post is about … Continue reading “Day 11# Wanderlust” →
Embarrassing moments. Yes, I’ve had those. Quite frequently actually. Tripping on the street, slipping on – yes – not so slippery spaces, horrifying typos in text messages, dropping food on strategic parts of my outfit, missing out the ‘s’ in the word ‘hard disk’. And I could go on forever. But this story is one where I outdid myself. This was when I had recently joined a workplace, and a … Continue reading “Day 10# Oops.” →
