Cornered

I often times wonder why when life is going smoothly and you think everything is perfect. The bomb drops. It start with one thing, and then another, and then another. A series of complex.situations, and you do not want to be rational about it, although in your sober times, when anybody else other than you is going through the situation you in right now... You are full with rational thinking and practical advices. But, when it comes to yourself... Pff! Nothing really works, you wanna keep dwelling in you self pity and sadness... No self help and self advices there. We are most disobedient to ourselves. We shove away the rational thoughts that come for our rescue.  In the end it comes down to battling our rational and irrational thoughts to maintain our sanity. I dont know if I have made any sense at all.... It's just the ramblings of a confused over worked and over stressed mind.

Fire in the Neighbourhood.

A Massive fire broke out in the neighbourhood from a Chemical Factory.... Yesterday, and we happened to be passing by.... Luckily there were no casualties.... atleast that's what the news papers say...

Up and About.

Hi, everyone... I know it's been a real loooooooonng time since I posted... 5 months precisely.... too many things kept me off the blogosphere... like I had developed a sudden fetish for hand embroidery, and I joined classes to learn the craft... next in line was a coupla months of sickness wherein I had to be hospitalised twice.... and was finally diagnosed with gall stones and underwent a surgery to get the gallbladder removed. it's been 3 months since and back to my embroidery lessons and my life... and I had forgotten all about my blog.. and now I guess I am gonna be back in business as frequently as I could afford to... so wish me luck with my blogging...

The Past Week

Well... I promised I will write more often and lo! and Behold! I have to have road blocks.... My kids messed up my Comp and just got it repaired and lost all the information in the process... and then again some unavoidable circumstances.... Mom got hospitalized for food poisoning and stayed with her in the hospital to take care of her.....

Ah! these hospitals... I hate them... right from the ambiance to the smell... My Mom's stayed there for three nights and two days and so did I.... And she since she had lost a lot of body fluids she was on IV.... and let me tell you not at all a pleasant... to look at your mum being poked with needles.... The blood clotted in her right hand and the liquid medication wasn't passing through her hand was swollen and they had to change it to the other hand.... They were not able to find the vein and it got pretty painful for her... But she's back now still getting her strength back from the ordeal....
P.S: The only time I liked the hospital was when I was there to get my babies:)

On the other hand since I was staying with mum I had to send the kids of with my husband and this was the first time I stayed away from the kids and vice versa and to my astonishment the were absolutely enjoying themselves..... Guess, nobody to discipline them...

The past week had been emotionally exhausting......

Showing off your blog..

It's been quite a while since I have posted something.... Well, thanks to the summer vacation and the kids being at home... The only useful thing having done is keeping the kids entertained... and juggling from mom's place to mine... the whole of the vaction has gone by in doing this..... 

Recently a friend of mine has got very interested in making her blog look interesting... and she has got me in the grind too.. although I am not very savvy about these things I am trying to learn....

I have visited several blogs and I see that most of  them want their blogs to look different... unique... interesting and relate to their person..... Why does one go through the trouble to personalize their blogs... To make it look cool...   (I must say I am getting into the groove too... trying out different things and getting to know more..). We have websites and blogs on how to work on our blogs as well, Wow!

Like they say first impressions are the best impressions... the first impression of our blog the look and feel of it would draw more readers, is that it?.... Or, is the content more important... I say both have their own standings... What say?

Summer's

Chennai is a hot city, I had once heard someone say that the weather in Chennai is Hot, Hotter and Hottest...
Even our winter's are humid and sweaty, as a matter of fact we do not have winter at all, it's only the rainy season and that is mildly hot and humid. So we look forward for rainy season, as it's better than summers.

Inspite of having a tag of being one of the hottest cities in the South India, people still complain about the heat with the onset of summer, where ever you go you'll find the Woossh!! and Aaahhs!! followed by it's so hot, isn't it? Well, we know it's hot and it's high time we are used to the fact that it's not going to snow in Chennai ever... Might as well enjoy the summer.... Think about the good things the summer bring's along, the platforms are stacked up with watermelons, every fruit is available on the stalls... you can have loads of  Ice creams and no body stops you, the time of year you can have an ice cold can of pepsi and you don't fall sick.

Oh! I should go a little off track here....
I recently spotted a stall put up by a political party ( which ever party is irrelevent) distributing watermelon's, tender coconut  and other coolants for free.... That's a nice act of kindness for the poor lot I think... Or, a tactic to get more votes in the next election I can't say...;)

So, where was I, right.... Summer is a time for cotton's, holiday's, siesta, swimming pool and loads of fun... And now a days the trend of summer camps  is a bonus to keep the kids occupied..... The bright side of summer.

Random thoughts.....

I have been wanting to write for the past week.... I come up with something ..... and when I do sit down to write, I forget what I had been thinking about earlier.... My mind is clogged.... It's a mumbo jumbo of too many thoughts stirred together.... I am not able to come out of this state of mind..... perhaps it's because I am thinking too much..... too much about trivial issues..... I can't seem to stop thinking about too many things at a time.... each thought is shooting though my brain in all directions..... I am totally confused and  sometimes all this confusion is too much to take and all i want to do is scream.... but I can't even do that.... people will think I am crazy, if I start to scream for no reason.... *chuckles* I just imagined a scenario where I scream suddenly and the reactions of the people around me..... perhaps I would end up scaring them first......*chuckles again*  I am unable to do anything about this right now, so I might as well laugh about it.....

While I am unable to come up with anything sensible, I just thought I'll write about my state of mind itself....
Hoping to get out of this soon..........
