I miss reading my books, there are couple of them which are lying in my room waiting for me to pick them up, to smell the fragrance of pages, to cherish them with my eyes and allow them to enrich my senses. But the paucity of time or my inability to mange it properly is the main hindrance and whenever I would get some free time I just become a couch potato. Concentration is such a fragile entity that if not handled carefully it could vanish into thin air. So is the case with me tonight, there are couple of things on my mind and I am becoming impatient to connect and resolve them. However, there are some delicate matters which are better handled if you do absolutely nothing to resolve them- just wait patiently and watch everything to fall into its place. Patience is very much a crucial ingredient in the recipe of life as it also another side of faith. Faith on an Unseen Power or Energy; faith on the instinctive feeling and the resolute faith that the wish shall be fulfilled. Although ...

Appreciation especially when come from a close quarter is beyond any well-celebrated achievement award. Acknowledgment of our efforts and the sincerity with which they are conducted would always keep one in high spirits. Its once again midnight and I am as usual pass my due bedtime, I don’t understand that the more I struggle to get things done within my schedule the more they go out of hands. I need to give a serious thought to all this and be absolute about them but dearest ones if I continue anymore in this drowsy state which I am in, I fear that I might fall asleep on the keyboard because now the words in front of me are becoming blurred. Its only your presence and love which invoke in me this commitment. So be there always. My love & a very Good Night. Sonya. (Day 131)

Is it only with me or the rest of you could also sense the ephemerality of days. It was Monday only yesterday and then there is another one and Fridays arriving within two days. Beside an hour which I dedicatedly spend on watching my favourite TV shows most of the day I keep on running from one point to another.   However, these days I have the contentment that the time I spend is worth every moment where I am either learning something new or being effective and worthwhile for others. Being of any service to others is such a phenomenal experience and the fact that there is no monetary gain involved does not effect the quality of the work. I for one has worked relentlessly for many years as a lawyer, had power, worked with some of the Bigs of legal as well as the business world and earned few bucks as well but honestly none of those above things gave me any peace. I use to be exhausted, bitter, short-tempered and always on guard with most of the people I met.   And now when the...

Thank you all so much for the special messages of love, encouragement and appreciation for me and our little blog here. It is so wonderful to have the presence of so many amazing individuals on the blog and with such perseverance. I once again thank all of you for taking time from your busy schedules to visit this blog and for the immense love which you have shown. I pray that the little family or tribe which all of us have created through this platform may prosper for all the days to come and so shall all of you. Ameen!! Monday has once again approached and so as the timetable for the coming week. Waking up early in morning then attempting to do any form of exercise and finally getting ready to embrace the beauty and warmth which the rest of the day would bring into my existence requires proper planning as well as thorough discipline. Although I seriously wanted to hang out for a little longer but then the midnight beckons me to sleep. So I apologize for the brief post today and ho...

I waited for almost four hours before I had my lunch/dinner and then began waiting for the weekend to come and do some shopping which has been postponed for quite some time. Waiting : waiting for your turn at the bank, waiting for the food to get cooked, waiting for electricity to be resumed, waiting for the red light to turn green on the road, waiting for the right time to come, waiting for everything to settle into its place- there is so much waiting in our lives on every single day that it would be safe to say that ninety percent of our lives we are actually waiting for something or for someone. Then the question would follow; what is more important whether waiting itself or our mental state while we are waiting; and if we are composed or impatient for the outcome. Well, most of them the gap or vacuum or the space which we have to endure while we await for someone or something becomes unbearable. Even though we might be well aware that the object of our desire is close to us howe...

Friendship - for some reason is the first word which came to my mind as I sat down to write today’s post. Friends are such an integral part of one’s life and everything seems incomplete without their presence. When we are children our friends mean a world to us we laugh, cry, gossip and share each other’s secret and as we grow up we transform into each others’ adviser, supporter and confidante. Irrespective of how much we are close to our parents or siblings the bond we share with our friends is all together a different dimension. With me I have to say that I truly am blessed and thankful for having two of the most wonderful people as my friends. They have always supported me advised me accepted me and loved me unconditionally. Regardless of how ridiculous my new hair cut looked or how much weight I gain they would always highlight the truer and brighter side of the things for me. There might be a gap of weeks when we talk but the moment we sit down for a rendezvous we always begi...

It has been quite a while since I actually sat down to watch any movie, mostly I loose my concentration within thirty minutes into the film, especially the latest ones. With so much technical advancement and heavy budgets, the quality and spirit of the film is lost somewhere in the glitz and glamour. The songs which are being produced these days are hardly remembered for more than 3 days and if slightly better then they might last in our memories for a week but no sir not more than that. Even though there is bombardment of new faces yet most of us are still clinging on to the earlier superstars as nobody new seems to make that charismatic impact; I can’t say if this is the case with me only or if anyone of you is experiencing the same predicament. I wonder what type of people would like to work in show business which to me is one of the most unstable and unsecured profession of all. If you make it big and reach the top slot then only you would be able to get big bucks otherwise the i...
