Hey everyone🙋

The mention of the word “Work” has made me sick I guess..🙄

Ha ha ha I was supposed to join with renewed energy and even before I could report to work I was down with flu!!🤒🤕

Blame it on the fact that I am missing my daughter terribly or the thought of getting back to work after a long hiatus made me sick??no idea!!

Missing Rhea terrribly

Right now I am on sick leave, I sometimes feel chuck all and be a full time house wife..but then…nahhh not me!!!
So as my fever wasn’t subsiding I eventually had to go to a physician..yeah a doc going to a doc..have to..a must, when you are sick and have tried all medications and the only way out is to do blood tests and rule out the possible causes..

So off I trotted away to get them, every thing was within normal limits except for few blood cell counts which were low, fighting off the infection obviously and the X- ray revealed bronchitis, so I was put on bed rest and rest and sleep I did!!😍 Full on!!

Now work beckons and hope to rejoin this week, so hope I stick in this time and before I sign off..here’s how I feel!!

But…

Have a great week ahead all..🤗🤗 I am gonna miss lazing around though😎

Hey everyone 🙋
Happy Easter 🥚

The post should have been titled missing Rhea 😢
Been a busy busy month what with me travelling and travelling ..my travel logs don’t seem to end!!
If it was pleasure I would be pleased, but work and shuttling cities is a pain, especially when you have to drive about 2 hours to the airport to catch a flight, it’s a torture!!
Anyways coming to what’s happening with me..
I have been busy with the routine Mommy duties and my day is jam packed with my daughter’s meals, play and sleep and only after she sleeps that’s like way way late at night do I get some “ME” time..
I make the most of it, right now I am hooked to Amazon prime, to those who don’t know what it is..it is something similar to Netflix..
So I am busy catching up on the latest movies and TV shows, the best so far has been this series called BREATHE, dwelling around organ donation..a good watch it was..
April is going to see me get back to work with a zing, after a 3 years break phewww..
I am just praying I remember my skills!! 🙄 have already started brushing up my text books in case I have forgotten where exactly the eye is located😝 ( for the new readers I am a doctor, an ophthalmologist to be precise on a very very long maternity leave )

Everyone is busy asking me so how do you feel getting back to work after such a long time??!! I don’t feel anything seriously!!
I don’t feel like I have missed out on anything..I have enjoyed ( except for the times my daughter has wailed and wailed and left me wondering what have I gotten into) I have enjoyed watching her grow, in India you get only 3 months of maternity leave and I choose to leave my job when I conceived her..my choice..cause that was more important to me!!
I have been there 24/7 with her and have relished,doubted, cribbed ( many emotions ) every moment, So I am glad I took a long break and now I feel is the right time to get back to work..
I sure will miss being around her all time but we got to do what we got to do…

So wish me luck guys and I hope to post more regularly ( yeah, hope is the word!!)
Have a great week ahead all..💕💕💕

If only…

Hey Everyone🙋

If only I could blow kisses your way..
to cheer you up all through the day!!

Far though I maybe,
the heart yearns for you..
Look around and see,
there is just only me..
Only me who can cause you pain and love..
Two things at once,
yet you say you are ashamed!!
Ashamed is such a strong word to use for love..
Love of that heart which knows only you!!
So think again my love..
If only I could blow kisses to you..
Melt the bitterness away and bring joy all the way..
Tomorrow is another day
and pray things go our way!!

Women’s day!!🤗

Hey Everyone🙋

Happy women’s day!!!

So I woke up today to find the phone filled with forwards and statements about women power and roses, rights and blah blah blah 🙄

Did anything change?? For me or for you?? We were working and slogging yesterday, we will work today and tomorrow too..the story continues day after day..

No the grapes aren’t sour..just being practical…😜

Here is a forward I received,

Happy Women’s Day! But, are there any Happy Women somewhere? Where do the Sad Women go?

When I wished her Happy Women’s Day,
She said: “Why I am not included?
If Happy Women can have to themselves a day,
Why are sad ones like me excluded?”

“Shouldn’t it be just Women’s Day,
Whether they are happy or sad?
I have just this little something to say,
Women’s Day be for all, good or bad.”

I looked at her strange reasoning,
Ability to convert into argument everything;
And then I thought, without seasoning,
What flat taste a salad would bring?

So I bowed to her from below not above,
My dark cloud lined with a silver ray;
And I said, “You are right here too, love,
Have your kind of Women’s Day”!

Pssst: Things to do..Give some extra money to your maid and let her also enjoy women’s day.

Go pamper yourself in the parlour or shop shop cause it’s a day to splurge.😈

So enjoy and bask in the wishes that come in today .. cheers to all the women out there..🍻🍻🍻

Hey everyone..🙋
A lot has been happening to keep me out of WP!!

I am yet again on a travel spree..🎒
January saw me visiting my home, Bangalore, to welcome my brother,SIL and my nephew..

👶🏻Laksh is an adorable baby..always quiet and lost in his own baby world..while on the other end I have Rhea who is quite a brat..🙈

Laksh and Rhea with my dad💖

So with many meet and greets lined up time just flew..
I had the chance to relax and recuperate at the comfort of my dad’s home..💆🏻‍♀

Jan end saw me travelling back to my place and thanks to the hubby’s sudden idea, I found myself travelling with my in laws to Banares..🙄
Now most of my WP friends would know how I much I love banares..
I have a series of posts on this wonderful city..

Banaras # 1

I have always visited this place during the summers when it has been hot and humid so I got a chance now to enjoy the winters as it comes to an end..
So here I am basking in the dull and lazy Banaras sun and just loving it..😍

I somehow prefer winters than summers..
I love the cosy feeling and the warmth that comes with it..
So that’s about me Nee..
I have a couple of books lined up to read!!
☕📚🛀🏻So maybe my dream of Tea, Books and Lazy noons will soon come true…
Until next time..read away…🤷🏻‍♀
Have a great weekend everyone..💕💕💕

💘Valentine’s aahaa!!!💖

Hey everyone🙋

Happy valentine’s day!!!

As usual,with Valentine day 💘 just around, the newspapers were loaded with to do, to see, to eat, to freak out options, soo many people celebrating rose day,🌹 chocolate day 🍫 and god knows what all days😓..

No…nope… not at al!!! It isn’t a question of sour grapes..😌 I have been there, done that and now I feel it’s all soo silly.. Having just one day to celebrate love..If you feel it, everyday is wonderful.. Anyways, let’s keep that lecture/ rant 🗣 for some other day..

Here’s my version of gooiness… 💕💕💕

I am reposting this for the new readers, just brings back memories enjoy!!

💕Love At The Temple💕

A prince was put under a spell so that he could speak only one word each year. If he didn’t speak for two years, the following year he could speak two words and so on.

One day, he fell in love with a beautiful lady. He refrained from speaking for two whole years so he could call her “my darling.” But then he wanted to tell her he loved her, so he waited three more years. At the end of these five years, he wanted to ask her to marry him, so he waited another four years. Finally, as the ninth year of silence ended, he led the lady to the most romantic place in the kingdom and said, “My darling, I love you! Will you marry me?” And the lady said, “Pardon?”

Joke by Vincent F., Manchester, Mo.

And this is what stupid cupid does..

Ahh and love is in the air..💕or not??!!

Ewwwwwwwww it definitely is…🤣🤣

Poor cupid..

Until next time Remember…👇

Cheers🥂

Hey Everyone!!🙋🏻‍
A quick weekend thought!!🤔

Are you on Instagram??Twitter??Facebook etc etc etc etc??Do you follow celebrities like I do???Have you ever commented apart from just liking their pics or posts???Gosh I recently just did that!!🙈
I was soooo tempted to see what happens when you message a celebrity..😛
Just wondering if they posts pics on their own or do they have assistants to do this too??? Still wondering..🤔
I have seen quite a few good natured and fun loving celebrities comment and interact with fans on Instagram!!🤓
I am sure, given their busy schedules they wouldn’t have time to even poop but yes some do reply back!!😝
So thinking about this I just about dared to comment and now I am waiting to see if I fall into the lucky dip pile and get picked and if this particular celebrity will reply back..lets see,sooo stupid of me yet high hopes I know,So what is the harm in trying!!
A little online adventure for me!!! 😛
Have you ever done some thing as silly ( if you may call it so) as this?? If yes please share in your views and thoughts..😎

🌞HNY!! This and That!!🤷

Hey everyone 🙋

Happy new year!!🎊🎈

There was a time when I used to post on the first day of the new year about happiness and things we should all ponder on and stuff like that!!Today 4 years since I started my WP journey, thoughts differ..🤔

I don’t feel like stating this or that anymore..
I don’t feel like oh yeah I should do this or that thing this year..
I have learnt to just go with the flow, atleast I don’t stick to any resolutions but yes I do have plans for the next few months,as always and similarly this year too I kind of know where I am headed to and I know what is in store for me!!( Fellowship calling) Don’t we all know that, so no biguhh deal!!

An Act of Kindness I still follow, though not to the T but yes most of it..
I have learnt to be selfish over time, Yessss some times you need to just sit back and let the world move by, absolutely no need to be part of the “Jerry ” race!!
Sometimes just put your feet up and relax and care two hoots about anything and everything specially about humans around you!!

Sometimes you need to work for self and not others, do what you like and not what others expect of you and yess there is happiness in that too!!
Sometimes just give a deaf ear and go ahead and read that book and laze around!! I am going to do just that this year!! What about you??!!😜
Until next time,Laze away…do whatever you wanted to do and just remember enjoy the little things life has to offer ( Aahh philosophical me..Nee!! I need to implement that first) So once again happy happy new year and have a great month ahead!!🤗

The Good,The Bad and The Hmmmzzz!!!

Hey everyone🙋
A quick post..
Christmas is around the corner and all around the world people are prepping up, while I look around this teeny weeny town hoping to see some kind of festivities and decorations in the market..🤔
I managed to get a Christmas tree from a local shop here, all of 3 feet and few decorations so that Rhea can enjoy and help me decorate it..🌲
She has a fascination for small lights so I am sure she will light up too like a decorated tree!!🎄
The one song ringing in my mind every morning is “Christmas season is the reason …” From Masha and the bear, if you are wondering who or what is Masha, do check out the following links, though basically it is a Russian animated series, it has English episodes too..

Masha and the bear!!
I came across these wonderful series on my journey to show some rhymes to Rhea and boy I love masha and her antics with poor bear!!
Our favourite is the Christmas season episodes ( Yes me and hubby too love watching it!!)🤗

christmas episode
And do you know the muffin man??!!!Oh I don’t know about Rhea but songs like this make me super duper happy!!

Muffin man!!

So here’s to the pre festive happy mood..🥂
🎀Happy holidays everyone..until next time jingle away..🎄
