Challenges

I had a disturbed sleep last night. For some reason I was woken from really deep sleep by a sound at 1:47am and after that it was hard to go back to sleep. I did eventually fall asleep but I woke up really tired. Rain, 5 year old and my tired self meant I missed my usual…

Rainy Monday – what is there to love about it? Not that I am complaining about the rain but I would have preferred it with a hot cup of tea and a book in my bed. But no such luck, I splashed my way to work! The weekend was busy. We had Ansh’s birthday party…

Another day except it is Friday…yay! I could not wait for the day and week to come to an end!  Nothing exciting happened today except it was beautiful and sunny. I went shopping and bough these beautiful scotch glasses. Apart from that it was a boring, uneventful day. I wore my pink skirt with a…

Ah Thursday…one day away from my favourite day of the week. A busy day at work meant I don’t know what I was doing for the majority of time. Lot of talking but less of doing meant I ended up feeling under accomplished at the end of day. But thank god it is Friday tomorrow…

Three-quarters of the way through my journey! Wow! Only 25 days to go…….I have to start thinking about my next! I knew today will be a busy day with me juggling my corporate and mum avatar. We had Clayton Christensen talk in the morning. There is only one way I can describe it – profound!…

The weekend is over and we are back to Monday, a new start to a new week. This weekend was frantic and busy to say the least. After all it was Diwali!  I don’t know but I have always been partial to Diwali out of so many festivals that we celebrate. Probably because I love…

We are in November and in celebration mode. This is the time, at least in India, to be with family and friends and be merry. We try and replicate it as much as possible here in our adopted country. So today is Dhanteras – the festival of Dhan or money. Usually you buy something metallic…

I can’t believe that October is already over! If is only 3 days to Diwali. And only 2 months to Christmas! Where did the year go? I can’t believe that we are ushering in 2014….. We had a farewell lunch for a colleague at work today and we went to Malabar restaurant in Darlinghurst. It…

And day 70….wow, did not believe I would come this far when I started this amazing journey. It has been interesting in so many ways! But I will write about that when I reach the 100 day mark.  Today was a busy day. You have some days where you do a lot but come back…
