Ahem.. Yes Yes..It has been a while..

Exactly a day short of a three months break and add to it a changed calender year.. darn i have taken a long break.. so let me catch my breath what all has happened/ is happening–

1. I am now married
2. I no longer stay in Delhi.
3. I am now posting from a PC rather than my laptop
4. I miss reading your blogs
5. I am looking for freelance writing opportunities or guest faculty jobs in and around Mumbai. Also, anything other than that part time that catches my attention.
6. I miss posting on the blog
7. I hate answering to the question– “how is married life going?” Duh like is there any answer to that
8. My brother also got married.
9. Now all three of us are married and settled.
10. Why do we often say he or she is “settled” when what we mean is “married”
11. Trust me there is nothing “settling” about the idea of marriage.
12. Ohh I love the guy I am married to. He is pretty settled 🙂
13. The guy loves me too.
14. I am going for Bryan Adams show on 12th.
15. I love Mumbai at night.
16. Nim- I have bought a camera DSLR- cannon E400D. finally!!
17. I have’nt written anything for a while.
18. Other than a few poems I keep scribbling every now and then.
19. I shall post one here as well.
20. Now, I do not even know why I wrote the post in numbers.
21. 21 sounds a fine end to it. It is considered auspicious by us Indians.

Living through… 
Living through 
the glimpses of life 
from the open window
living through
the nameless faces
and the faceless names
living through
the wait to see you smile
at the end of the day
living through
the moments of
uncontrolled passion
living through
the happiness borrowed
from the pages of past
living through
the shadows of self
in the looking glass.

    Glad you're married! Isn't everyone? Oh, I forgot! How's married life–grin–groan! (Sorry!)

    I like "Living through"…sort of me
    age 77, beginning to learn Buddha. I posted about it moments ago, if you're interested–being from India, and all, ya know.

    Searching for a mantra word. Brian just suggested: "Hmmmm" LOL!

  8. Well isn't this a nice surprise? You are now married. Congrats. BTW – how is married life. Sorry you set yourself up for that. Asking that is kind of like when we see someone we know and say, "Hi, how are you doing." We don't really care usually but we do want to tell them how we are doing, that is if we know. BTW#2 What does that even mean?
    It sounds like you are settling in to being in love – wishing you the best! GQ

  13. i think your point number 10 makes perfect sense. it is an existential question that i myself have been searching an answer for. why do people say SETTLED when they mean to say MARRIED? whyyyyyyyyyy? and now that you are married, are you able to answer this question?
