I apprehend that I might have somehow gave an impression of being very busy lately as I am most of the time inactive on facebook and lazy with other modes of communication but the truth of the matter is that I try my best to keep myself active. Busy as well as being creative and productive with our time I think is a sheer blessing, therefore my day routine is almost moving from one quarter of an hour to another with many chores and at the end of it all when I sit in front of this 14’’ screen and put my heart out to all of you is the most wonderful climax I could imagine to my day. Although I was also busy in the past; nevertheless, it was only to meet my own requirements and lift the burden of regular life. Life could become a miracle with magnificent outcomes when you surrender it to the Higher Power and let Him navigate every moment, hour and day. This is what happens to me when I am tired, I speak of things which have significance for me only and I overlook the fact ...

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...
