Because life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. June 25, 2014. Spent last weekend in Fort Lauderdale. God how I missed that place. I decided to get to know the company I am interviewing with, a little better.so they flew me down to check out their digs. From the moment I touched down, there was a feeling of familiarity, a sense of home. "I'm back" I thought. It was a feeling I missed indeed. Then came time to see friends. Hung out with E, had fun with her and then I went to a part...

Because life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. July 18, 2015. So once again, I was supposed to post something two weeks back.here I am finally getting around to it. I'm trying to maximize every moment. And like a bad joke from the universe, of course it was the bag with the samples. I stood at the baggage carousel for a good 10 minutes. Surely, there had been a mistake. And just as the airport had cleared out, I found myself standing alone. (. Yeah, this is really happening. 600 late...

Because life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. April 19, 2015. 1) It's ok to ask for help. I have a tendency to take everything onto myself. I know I have trust issues and high expectations, hence it impacts my ability to rely on others when I need them. People have let me down, so why bother? Might as well do it myself.(. I like to think I am logically am clear in decision making and I realize that my strength is the pillar that my parents hold on to. 2) There's strength in numbers.

Because life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. April 18, 2014. Wanna Hear a Story? So last night, as I finally began to make the walk up to my house. I started thinking that I want to submit a story to Moth Radio. Why not? Links to this post. April 02, 2014. What Have I Gotten Myself Into? 65279;. The "bane" of my existence for the next few months. I sat and stared at it for a good 20 minutes. I ordered the largest size they had and this is what they sent me? I'm not quite sure whe...

Because life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. February 22, 2014. Do I Look Fat? I have a beef to pick with women. I am really trying to figure out why, as women, do we have to self-deprecate when it comes to our appearances? Why are we unable to embrace who we are, the way we are and not look for a reason to talk down about our physical traits? Do we secretly believe that by putting ourselves down in front of others, we are remaining humble and modest? Yes, very sexy. So I tend to t...

Because life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. February 22, 2015. Last Thursday, held hostage in the middle seat on a flight en route to San Francisco I was delighted to find out that my only source of comfort and distraction were the selection of free movies offered by my carrier. The next 5 hours were going to pass by faster than I originally expected. Oh happy day. Cooking is where I destress, it's where I create and have my passion, it's where I lose myself in deep thought-even i...

Because life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. November 03, 2014. The Time is Always Right. In honor of my brother-in-law's 50th birthday, I hosted a small celebration in my home for immediate family and friends. I was more than happy to do so, it's a big milestone birthday and even though my sister and BIL were headed off to Barcelona the next day to celebrate-I still thought it was important for our family to come together and fete him for this momentous occasion. We concluded agai...

Because life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. December 26, 2014. My masi (aunt) passed away this weekend. It was completely sudden and it pretty much shocked the entire family, especially since we all had celebrated together only 2 weeks back at my cousin's wedding. She was the strong one, the one we all had thought would live on to a ripe old age. Well, life gave our family a sudden twist. To which I would always reply, "I'm coming soon." But soon never came. My cousins were all th...

Because life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. October 27, 2014. Let the Light In. Read a quote this morning."God puts us where we need to be, not necessarily where we want to be.". I gave myself a moment to reflect. I acknowledged and I moved on. Serves as a gentle reminder in my every day. At first, I was going to go low key on Diwali. (I was being lazy) I had a pretty hectic week at work and there was a part of me that didn't want to give in this season to decorating. (. This birt...

Because life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. March 23, 2014. Last weekend, my friend "A" and I were out for dinner and drinks in a new, hip area of town. We completely forgot that bars and restaurants would be packed due to St. Patrick Day celebrations.no worries, we were planning to steer clear of anyone dressed in green. Except for leprechauns. People just don't do this. I can't believe you guys are so nice to me. You are my angels who saved me.". And that was that . 'A' and ...
