The Ultimate Combination

Its a typical bangalore weather today. CLoudy, cold, a drop of rain here and there, hmmm thats one reason why people love bangalore weather. Its a gloomy day today. Unfortunately being a part of this software industry, all i get to see is computers and cubicles! But still i try to steal a moment or two and enjoy the weather during lunch time. The moment i feel the weather outside, i think of hot bajjis and a cup of tea to accompany it. YUMMM!! I wish i was at home. WOuld have prepared some hot pakodas or bajjis. Then to compliment it a cup of tea, go to terrace or the sitout and then have them. Can something beat that? The Ultimate combination ever, a gloomy day along with bajjis and tea! mmmmmmm!! nicee!

Lake of peace!

[Havent found the right picture yet]

There are times when a person feels better to be left alone and spend time with oneself or brood over their feelings. This probably happens to me more often than to many others. At certain times i would like to have a conversation with myself and nobody to question. This can never happen at places where people know you. so it should always be a place where no one can reach you.Actually i have not found my de-stress refuge. I have the picture of how it should look in my mind. my imagination is beautiful but i dont think the place actually exists :). When i imagine the place i would like to be when i want to be alone, I see a house amidst lot of trees, a small house with one bedroom, a small kitchen, a living room with a shelf filled with my favourite books and a fireplace and of course a bathroom :).
The small lane outside the main door leading into the woods, upto a small creek, where there is a stream flowing. There is a small man made bridge of wood( i would love to build the bridge myself to cross the stream ). I cross the stream and walk on into the wood. As i walk on, I see a ray of light growing brighter. The lane finally ends and i see a lake with ducks swimming here and there over the lake. There are wild bushes with flowers unknown to me but yet beautiful. There are small pebbles around the lake which are smooth touched by the gentle water. A cloudy day with slight drizzling would definitely make the place a heaven and a place for myself. I would love to keep my feet in the water, brood over my thoughts, rain drizzling or watching the beautiful sky lit with colours during sunset.
hmmmmmmmm. i am almost there in my mind. The thought of it soothes my mind and peace dawns.I havent found a place which fits my description. I wish i find it before my lifetime and get to spend atleast one day there.

Dance like nobody is watching you!

"Everything in the universe has rhythm. Everything dances."
- Maya Angelou
:) the thought makes me smile. or Should i say the word dance and rhythm makes me smile. Its been a desire from childhood to learn one form dancing. but well things dont always fall into place. So i decided what if i dont learn them i can always dance whenever i feel like doing so. The zeal to dance becomes higher specially when i see madhuri dixit dancing. Its a treat to the eyes to watch her dancing. The grace, the perfect steps, the ease with which she dances, the flow - everything is so beautiful. so the day i watch a movie in which madhuri is dancing, the whole day almost goes in humming the song and taking a step each time. My parents laugh at me, my sister sometime joins me. Its amazing.
Whenever i am on a team outing or with a group friends, i am probably the first to initiate dancing. Most of the people are apprehensive, but once they try it, they are with the flow. it takes a while to sink in that no one is professional dancers and nobody expects u to be good at dancing. Then all are dancing to their own dancing steps. its feels good at the end of it.
IF you ask me every person loves to dance. They are just tied by their on inhibitions and the feeling of how it might look to people around us. The fear of people laughing at us. Once we forget there are people looking at us everyone will dance. :)
Dance has always been a passion. I may not be a professional but that doesnt stop me from dancing a step or two on good numbers . I feel it a very good way to express and de-stress. if i had learnt dance i would have probably danced all my tensions away. I am still thinking of joining a class someday. Someday i want to dance good steps to good tunes, not just my style of dancing.
