He is taking an exam today...aspiring for an additional qualification. And, boy, am I nervous!

He's been studying for this exam for months, and we have both given up on a lot of 'going-outs' and 'long drives'. I so hope he makes it! Because, frankly, I've never seen anyone work so hard!

Life's Good :)

It was a good and fruitful day at work. I feel a rush of energy in me today that I need to expend, preferably in a constructive way! :) I packed a lot of activities in the day, and still don't seem to be able to go to bed!

By the way, dear readers(if there are any), :)

Sorry for the long sabbatical. I had forgotten my password! Yes, I had! And it suddenly came back to me now :)

Life is so unstable, ever-changing! Everyday, you are a new person! Everyday, there is a new thought to occupy your head. Have you ever noticed that sometimes, some things obsess you enough to steal your slumber, and then, they stop mattering the next morning? :)

My career path is much clearer to me now. I feel more focused and responsible, and most importantly, more disciplined! I am thankful to have found the inspiration and the love of my boyfriend. Life's fast, confusing, tough, but its still good! :)

Sweet Solitude

I am all to myself this weekend, and I am looking forward to my company :)

Its been long since I wrote a poem :) I plan to let my pen run wild, and write something that surpasses all that I have written before.

I just read the 'Come Back' post, and it brought a smile to my face, I am in the state of waiting again, with just the same feelings. Over time, our love has been seasoned, with some fights, some compromises, some tears. But at the basic level, it remains the same, and I am thankful, really thankful for that.

As a little girl, I dreamt of having lots of travel in my life, and I have been doing just that lately, with my very sweet and fun, sometimes paranoid, companion :) There is something about seashores, the whole beauty of the view, the smell of the sea, the touch of the breeze and the sand, and the taste of salt; they fill my heart, and I lose myself to the vastness, which speaks of the unimaginable depth and beauty of the higher power. The sea leaves me speechless, making me long for some secret that I probably already know.

Every weekend, I take off the cloak of the software engineer, and become just me: a nature lover, a bookworm, a writer, a friend, a lover, a cook, a shopaholic, a gypsy :)

Love is the Essence

I spent the night in a bus...feeling the breeze on my face...watching the moon, as I returned to my city, having said goodbye to some very close friends...it was a night full of multiple emotions: euphoria on meeting my friends after so long, and very soon..the sadness of separation, the uncertainty of meeting again the future, the sting in the heart, which was slowly replaced by a calmness as the moon and I traveled back to Bangalore. It watched over me, helping me swallow the change slowly, in pieces.

This morning I saw the most beautiful sunrise, amidst green fields and coconut trees, and a fresh cold morning breeze.

I love the name 'Ayaan'. May be I'll name my son that :) It has a beautiful meaning- "morning prayer".

I sometimes feel dawn is the most beautiful moment of the day, because you wake up, healed, fresh, ready for another day of your life. Every morning I realize just how much I have to be thankful for. Like today, being picked up by him and driven home. Being 'appreciated' for every possible 'change' that would have occured in me in the 5 days of separation. Being held like we met after a century. And being given the chance to look at him, again, in the morning light, for many quiet seconds, as the beads of sweat glistened on his face.

Isn't love the essence of all that is there?

It Rained a Lovely Rain

Today, it rained a lovely rain in my city. It rained mild, and sweet, just enough to cool the air and load it with my favourite scent. And it pleased hearts that returned from work after a Friday, like school kids after the dismissal bell.

The cool breeze, the smooth roads under the car wheels, the intoxicating smell, the BF, they were all at their best! :)

I plan to have no plans this weekend. What are your plans?

Come Back

I woke up this morning, again, without you.

Its been just days. But it seems like years since you went away. Come back soon!

In moments like these, I usually recollect that feeling, of falling asleep with my head on your chest. And then, you kiss me, multiple times, on my forehead. I remember nights of sleeping in the same position till morning, and in the morning, being woken up by your soft pecks. I remember feeling your body, your warmth as the morning rays escape through the gaps in the screens and fall on my face. And in my head, echo several prayers, full of utter gratefulness and love, for Him and for you.

Sometimes, you both, are one and the same.
