Serendipity
28Nov2024
New continent, new beginnings. A new way of life. And yet somethings stayed the same. The loneliness. The desires. The need for the softer things in life.
Had given up on all of it. And stayed true to responsibilities and to-dos. Didn't think i was meant for such things. That my life was only meant to be lived for others.
And yet, once again, on that beautiful evening of 28Nov2022, life changed. Forever.
After moving, life took on a new routine. Work dominated a large part of the day. Then domestic duties. Best part of the day was settling down to some mindless browsing and music. I eagerly looked forward to this part of the day. The evening of 28Nov2022 was one such regular evening. I was browsing some posts that spoke about intense personal and intimate experiences. One such post caught my fancy. Beautifully written, the author's experience triggered intense desires in me. I followed the author not really expecting a ping back. So imagine my surprise when the author, D, messaged back!
D asked me the reason i followed him. I responded honestly. And with that began a beautiful journey that is today, two years young.
To say D makes my life richer would be a gross understatement. D is my life. My whole world. He makes me want to live for myself. For us. With him, my personal life continues to blossom. I am grateful for his presence in my life. And thankful to him for making me a small part of his!
D, 😘😘😘😘😘

It wasn't a bend. It was an end. Life as I knew it, ended. Little did I know then how rough the road was about to become.
8 difficult years of unimaginable chaos, hurt and pain. That we landed on our feet is God's grace. My career highs and R's academic success took the sting out of the rough. And I continued walking, keeping my head in this slippery game of life. R, for her age, continued to display amazing resilience. Bless her!
Two years ago, we moved continents and started a new life. And two years since then I'm wanting to begin a new life. One that focusses on myself too.
I've never been centerstage in my life. I've allowed my desires to take a backseat and done what was needed to get on with life. Took on responsibilities that weren't mine. And fulfilled them as well as i could. God's been kind though. His Grace has seen me through everything that life's thrown at me and more.
But now, as i get older, I find my mortality staring hard at me. I don't have forever to live. And now I simply want to live it up. I want to live for myself. I want to catch up on all the things I missed. And hopefully, it's not too late.
I also wish to pursue a very personal desire. Quite a few posts hereon, maybe about my personal adventures. or maybe not.
Either way, just happy to revived my blog. Here's to a new way of living.

A long lovely winding road.....
Sometimes what one perceives as an end of road is just a bend in the road....go slow, catch your breath and stay calm!!! Very soon the road as we know it will make an appearance....and we set off on new exciting journey :-)
You win some......
Life is a bit like playing the casino. It's impossible to beat the House. No matter how well you play the hands, the House almost always wins :-(

Just Saying......
Much as one may want it to be.....
Sum of the parts don't really make a whole.....
Wistful Mondays....uneasy memories make excellent residue....don't dredge them....ever!!!

A few of my favourite blogs....
There are some blogs that I simply love reading.
Like these three "dear diary" blogs:
I loved everything about these blogs. The authors have been honest to the core. So much so, that reading these posts was like a peek into their daily lives, most intimate thoughts, worries and insecurities. You could rejoice in their happiness and tear-up in their pain. I have browsed so many blogs since, but didn't find one as good or as honest!! Life's keeping these author's busy, for sure, since none of these are posting any longer. I miss reading them.
Then there is Baradwaj Rangan - a movie reviewer par excellence. B Rangan reviews every movie for what it is...not what it should be or could have been! Even movies like Shortcut Romeo are reviewed with a reverence. I don't want to call B Rangan a critic, coz that would put him in the same category as the other run-of-the-mill critics. This site is a must read every Monday for an impartial unbiased review of the latest release.
Visit him at: http://baradwajrangan.wordpress.com
The girls authoring this site are super duper witty. Every post is a hilarious gem. I am guessing both the girls hold down day jobs and so the posts are infrequent. But definitely worth the wait.
I stumbled upon the below two sites accidentally and have been a lurker ever since. My life and what I do is far removed from fashion and even more so from vintage. And yet my net browsing isn't complete without a quick look-see at these sites.
And then there is Fashion Scandal -
What can I say about this amazing site??!! This site exposes the underbelly of fashion, fashionistas and "high" society. It's one site that is not afraid to write the truth. Recently, the site and its owner Jack have been targeted by unscrupulous bas****s. All the sites' readers stand by Jack and FS.
Here's to you, Jack. If you decide to stop writing, we will understand. But, if you choose to continue, then May the Force be with you. Let us know what you would like your readers to do, that may in some measure alleviate your troubles.
Enjoy these sites, folks. They are worth your time and attention!!
