1. The most important update is that I have recently taken up a job and its a really interesting one at that. I have a strong feeling that I am going to get a lot of exposure as well as learn a lot! Of course, I am also very glad that its part-time coz I can continue to do the things I like to do and travel too!
2. I have begun to actually like my exercising routine. I try to make it interesting coz I alternate between yoga, body specifics, Jane Fonda's aerobics, Pilates and Bollywood fitness dancing ( yes, you read it right!)...I like the fact that I can just jump around without feeling conscious at home, with abandon! Its liberating! :-) I have different DVDs of all these and I work out at home everyday except weekends. Of course, the biggest motivation are the results - I can fit into clothes I hoped I could fit into someday!
3. I was watching Rajiv Gandhi's interview with Simi Garewal on Youtube and it made me really sad. Tears sprung in my eyes. I deeply and fervently wish he was alive and more than anything else, his family had got the opportunity to spend more time with him. What a charismatic, handsome and strong personality! He is THE man for me, who was a proud Indian!
4. I have begun to maintain a calender and schedule like my English friends here and I have to admit, if not for anything else, it makes me feel really important and it also made me realize that we have slowly begun to have a social life outside of just 'us'. :-)
5. I am loving the 'calm' within me and the happy thoughts I have! I am proud of myself coz I don't brood about the past anymore or think of anything that makes me feel low. Little things remind me that there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel; like the plants I had given up on have suddenly started sprouting up now or even the 'daily horoscope' seem to match with the current updates in life. It may be a co-incidence too; but I take it as a sign!
6. I have started to learn to knit and its really exciting to create something all by yourself!
7. I am also learning Photoshop on the web and am contemplating starting a photo-blog ( what do you think?). I love photography and am a self-proclaimed photo-maniac. I love looking at photos; even of people I don't even know - they are such a great way to remember good times, smiles, friends, travels, happiness, beauty, nostalgia,memories.....enough said!

Gosh, this is really random and I will comment randomly, oh well, in bullet points.
1. I like your exercise routine. I have to find one now and stick with it!
2. Hmmm..Rajiv Gandhi.He was a shrewd politician. I will try to look up the interview on internet and see that!

Vidya,

If you have to be a politician, you need to be shrewd, else you can't really survive, can you?
Take a deep breath.....slowly....

Aruna,
thank you...I am not-so-pretty! Just a facade to reel people in! ;-)
hey I just read another blog post of yours because it had Sai's photo on it. I too am a Sai devotee and I loved that post! I went to a Sai temple in Mylapore when I visited India last time and it was such a pleasurable experience!
Vidya
Vidya,
:-) I must admit I am not an ardent devotee...but I love the peace and calm in the temples and I have also been to Shirdi a couple of times when we lived in Pune...God does find different ways to bless us...it takes time for us to identify it.
Hi there PW...Scrapbooking actually means creating albums / paper that contain your photos ..some memorabilia ..tickets ...arranged together in a decorated manner..
