I’m unstoppable ..

Another break, another sorry, but how time travels or actually flies….I am just not able to keep up with the blog posts.  But this time I have thought about rather just penning down my house updates…I will also blog about being me.   For me being an Arian, if actually that is the root cause.  I cannot set to one thing, I tempt for diverse thrills in day-to-day life.  For now I have picked up is Running.  Over the past few months I have realized how running teaches us to keep moving forward one step at a time, especially in the most painful moments.   

Some really stupid things that make me feel like I have started to really experience the life of a runner.

Soaking a shirt with sweat.

Swallowing a bug while running.

Tripping and totally scraping up myself.

Blisters on my feet.

Sore legs for days.

Constantly looking for new hype songs.

Keeping my pace.

Passing people up.

Getting a sip of water from random sprinklers.

Falling in to a trance watching my shadow.

Getting the best ideas (but always forgetting them)

Making my last mile the fastest mile.

Getting jealous seeing others running when I can’t.

Smiling when my endorphin's kick in.

Inspiring the people in my life to run.

3 months ago I could hardly do a 300 meter and if someone were to tell me I’d be capable doing 10 km by now, well, I’d never believe it.  Now with deep faith looking for a half-marathon in no time.   I’m just another runner but I love every sick/agonizing/gross/painful/beautiful moment of it.

My hubby's and mine running new shoes ...  

Atlast,

Life is Short:

RUN FAST.

Rise from the Fall...

The drastic change in temperature from 33 degrees to 17 degrees in past few days cannot go unnoticeable   Little woolens are out quite early before Diwali this time.  The air is breezy and chilly.  It is difficult staying awake and energized as the days get shorter.  

But a hot cup of coffee and cookies with some sun in a cozy corner of the room feels better.  Fall is the perfect time to make sure that we get enough Vitamin-D.  And getting the most sunlight possible means waking early.  Morning walks are just another way to keep me energized through out the day.  For me waking up early is very very difficult and so best way out for me is some super loud music kind of energizes my senses.  

What is your say on keeping energized as the days get shorter...do chirp in...

Evening Meditation

A two month long vacation and it is gonna be a month now since working.  At times the days are tiring and painful because of my spondylitis.  This evening just after a short nap, I stumbled straight into the garden.  With my course book in one hand, sitting on the chair still half awake and little pain.  I suddenly felt fresh refreshing salubrious feeling in the atmosphere.  Wow the weather is suddenly so beautiful and fresh past few days here in Delhi (Thanks to the Rain God).

A few minutes later anchored by the hot cornflakes milk and newspaper. Forgetting my pain and my upcoming exam, following the meditative frame of mind smitten by the aura around and flowing with the energy was just beautiful.  I could easily wallow in this quiet bliss for a couple of long hours until dark arrives.  For now treasuring this simple treat on quiet and spacious evenings like this.

A New Buy (peak-a-boo)

Garden furniture enriches the elegance of garden as well as provides you comfortable seating in the garden.

Recently I bought new set of mix wrought and wicker furniture for the garden patio. Before it looked like this here, here and here. This time I chose white over black which I had before.  Well this furniture can break down climates with more extreme temperature .  Other than the concern, wicker furniture is easy to maintain and clean.  I can expect it to last for long with minimal care.  It surely gives a very appealing accent to the patio too. 

What say friends....

Small Bar Nook...

Hieee!! I am back again, actually i was very much here.  Enjoying my summer holidays at home but to the extent i would agree with gagan of peacock and paisleys.....my blog also got neglected as me fighting off cobwebs, cleaning, de-cluttering and little renovation here and there.  Well then a message from my dear friend Sulagna from pink and black...actually woke me up....and I really feel good to be back to blogging.....

To start back is with an invitation to my little bar nook above my book shelf.   I feel the hot and warm weather is just apt for some lovely cocktails...wat say girls.

Behind the bar is a lovely old 3-d painting of a ship which my dear hubby restored from the backyard store room of his house.  And here goes the perfect place for this old and vintage painting behind the bar....cheers!!!

Happy Weekend...

Weekend to-do list goes endless, backyard needs to start afresh, plant new seeds, cutting and cleaning the yard is on my list this week.  For the time, a small flower arrangement @ home makes me smile and give sense of quiet in a crowded day..

Happy Weekend!

From the kitchen garden...

Summers are almost back here in Delhi.  Just finished harvesting the last lot of baby Spinach from my kitchen garden here.  And now the place is clean again.  Thinking of putting up some new seeds soon.  Rather then going for tomatoes, lady fingers and Brinjal etc.  I am planning to plant something else.  What I don't no now, urgently in need of some ideas.  

All washed and ready to cook
