This is my first blog in the new year....
The House with a capital H is finally ready and we hosted our first dinner on the 31st. Couldnt cook - which was a shame - still have ambitious plans of cooking for an army though...
some time soon..
and another year has gone by - its been exactly a year in bangalore...
i remember swearing to myself that i wont leave Mumbai - chaahe kuch bhi ho jaaye..
and then one day---i think it was somehere when i was crossing over from harbor to western at bandra and trying to get into a train - and managing to get a foothold that i changed my mind.
It looked like the story of my life - just managing to get a foothold and that was not enough for em anymore - i wanted more.
i wanted time, i wanted space and i wanted a home - Bangalore seemed like a culmination of it all - and in a lot of ways it has been.
Do i want to spend my life on a foothold - thoda andar, thoda baahar - whether it is a local train or a relationship or a job or just life - or do i want to get off the train and find another way of getting to the destination?
I dont know, i still havent gotten there - but i know that the ride is so much more fun now - now that i am not doing it mindlessly...
Like Osho says, full awareness ke saath - and like Rajnikanth says - Maaaend eet!!

Hi...just came across your url in yahoo group. glad you find you are from Bangalore. Saw you had blogged on food too. if you are interested, check out
Arusuvai Friendship Chain
and let me know if you are interested to be part of it!
Was randomly going through blogs in vela time....
n this one i liked...may be coz of the fact that I can very well relate to the Life and Local Trains of Mumbai which go hand in hand....
Nice example... the perfect way to explain..
Hi, I love the few bits that I read Sameera, specially this one about getting a foothold, so true...why did u stop writing on this one? Face book or Rubrakha took over?
