Children's Day Special

Firstly, Let me wish every child a very Happy Children's Day! And by child, I don't mean by age, but the young at heart.

I am sure, each of us has a child within us.

• Never willing to grow up.
• Enjoying life's happiness in really silly, simple moments.
• Having an inquisitive mind.
• Making the most of the holidays :)

I never felt so connected to the child within me. And yes, I fulfilled all the above requirements too :) Started my day with a visit to a nearby Temple. They were decorating the Ganesh idol and the curtains were drawn and I was feeling quite restless. The only other restless soul was a 7 or 8 year old boy named Karthik. Once the curtains were pulled aside and the bhajans began..along with the beats of drum!!! Where was that coming from? I was really curious to know the source of the drum beats. Everyone around me was focusing on the decorated idol, deeply immersed in their own prayers. Only one person shared my curiosity... no prize for guessing. It was Karthik again. I chided myself for acting like a 7yr old. But suddenly, he pointed at a small drum which was powered by electricity. Next thing.. both of us smiled like... like.. like 7 yr olds :) It felt great!

Friday - the 13Th

I just couldn't get a suitable title for this post.. until I read my friend's blog.

Friday, the 13Th.
Hmmm, no wonder my day was so unbearable, so frustrating, so tiring, so I-want-to-run-from-here types. This blog post is dedicated to that friend who sensed my feelings and tried to help calm my nerves. Thanks dear friend!

I think I should also thank my team for making the work environment so positive and thereby, more productive! :)

Fashion.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

I am probably not the right person to comment on Fashion, not because I am immune to it or lack the "fashion sense" but because I prefer to follow my heart rather than the latest fashion magazine.

Recently, a very good friend from office said.. "Hey, you need a new wardrobe.. The colors you choose are so dull and not eye-catching". And then I went on my extensive research by reading up materials and blogs about fashion and its impact. In today's world, fashion is considered to make a statement about who you are. Being fashion conscious is knowing what flatters you and what boosts your confidence..a feeling of being powerful from within.

Phew..So much associated to the word FASHION.
