What do you do to unwind?

I have been under a lot of pressure of late. I am badly in need of a vacation. Some high-voltage vacation!! :) I want to jump and run and wear myself so tired that I can shoot out the depression and the tension.

I know tension can take so much out of your otherwise great life. The worst thing about it is that it ripples out to every person you show it to. I dont want to be 'that' person. I am not that kind of a person.

So getting back to my vacation plans.. Oh ya.. I want to goto a place where there are a lot of people and whom you can go talk to easily. I mean thats not too much I am asking for. And I want to goto a place where life is simple. You wake up early, take a jog, wave to people on the way, grab a sandwich and come home. A long hot bath and you set out to explore the place.

Imagine a place like Italy. A suburb in Italy.. wow.. You can see the river from your balcony. Its so huge and magnificient that you feel that its going to devour you any moment. Creepers on your balcony's ramp.. Lush and green.. And then you watch old movies. All funny movies that you laugh your heart out. You forget that there is another demanding life calling you. Tell you what? Life is a lot better in our imaginations. :) Oh my god.. Just the thought of it makes me long for it.

I have been longing for it quite a while. Hope I get one soon. :)

Brain on Hols

Its been quite a while since I have visited my blog. Yeah, grad school takes so much out of your life. But I feel good about studying again. I am really learning something this time. :) And all the more important thing is that its fun this time. :):)

Exams are all done and grades are on their way. Being my first semester, I have this leeway of needing time to adapt to North American syllabus, which I gladly welcome. And it is a pain adapting to grad syllabus. The work load is much more than I even wildly dreamed of.

Grad school worries apart, I have plans for the vacation. Lets see how much of it works out. Firstly, I have resolved to resolved to regularly update my blog. I know it wont be fun if its an exercise. Let me maybe try to devote more time to writing would be appropriate than my moment ago resolution. Then, I am thinking of visiting the local library more often. It has like a great collection of books and I have always regretted that I have not made use of it given that I loved to read at some point of time in my life. And then, cook varieties for us, possibly healthier food. Talking about healthy food, I also want to keep an eye on my BMI, which is a little overboard and I have to stock myself into the clothes that once were a sea breeze. :|

Lot on the to-do list. I would love to have addressed all of these at the end of my vacation.

ESP???

I have been having this strange feeling lately.

If I think about somebody or something, either they call, e mail or I hear something about them from others. Yesterday, I was thinking about my mark in the test that I last wrote, and this figure popped in my mind. The results are out today and Guess what?? Yes thats my score.

Another instance was last week, I was thinking about baby-sitting one of my friends' kids, whom I have baby-sat before. And the same day evening, my friend calls me and asks me if I can take care of him as his usual baby-sitter is going to be out of town.

I dunno. These things have left me a little shocked of course.

Whatever. If good things happen, I am more than happy. :)

The long-desired FIRST blog

Hi all

Ya.. this is my first blog. I have been wanting to do this for a quite a while now. So here I am..

The weather outside is muggy and I was feeling the same too. I even felt its not a great day to hit this thing off. But I decided against it and thought I should give it a shot.

So.. to start off with, let me talk about the good stuff happening around in my world. The 'Lone'ingham.. Ya I like the Great Britain. In some ways it has been my dream destination. Duno why.. I don have great reasons to boast about. So, ya.. Coming back to naming my world ending with 'ingham', I did it so because of my unreasoned love for the country.

In my 'Lone'ingham world, I dont do anything productive nowadays.

ow o ow.. See what the muggy weather can do to your blog??

Let me stop here and get back in a better mood a while later and update you ppl with something really interesting. Ya I am that kinda gal. Now you know I am a gal!! I am usually chirpy but sometimes when emotions consume me I become a zombie. Thats the cause of the melancholy note in this blog. Thats not gona be the case all the time I assure you that much.

So see you guys soon.. :)
