For what it has been....

2016 has zoomed by…. In a wink of an eye! And, if you disagree – you have just been a lazy bone, m sure!!!

With just 2 months for this year to complete, it kept me thinking of the many things that has just remained as ideas rusting in my mind while a lot of unwanted stuff has gone by.

Not a great year and not that bad either. There are days I have been extremely busy burning my bones to meet ends at work and days I have stared out of the car window cursing the never-ending traffic lanes. I have spent an average of 5 hours a day on road just shuttling between office and home. Those 5 hours have been a spot to action out frustration, get creative on things I CAN do (but don’t), of quilling to tatting, of cooking virtually with beautiful Italian ingredients, to memorizing how I can give back to fights with Vinay, to revisiting days that could have been better and to role play many characters I mostly admire! No, don’t conclude. I haven’t lost my mind yet… these are just figments of imagination- if only you can digest the sophistication in the statement!

Some challenging moments and some scary days- from crying, fighting to laughing our hearts out, to watching Anagha grow into a smarter kid, to digesting facts that we are all growing older, to act responsible at times that I thrived to stay dumb, to betraying the beauty of truth, to feel mistrust, to walking memories that sang melodies of promises and to the classics of being family!

Lost in between was being “US”. Vinay and me spent hours thinking and talking our minds aloud. To making our life more meaningful from where we all started. We made plans, re-plans and re-did them again! Dusting off ole school thoughts and building fresh hopes, we decided to take things our way. Living in days that bought untold freedom and comfort, a little naïve but m sure will nurture with time. We now spend more time doing things we love. He helps me in house old chores and I have started using the canvas and colors again. What a rejoice it is! We do some dusting, some bare minimum cooking, laughing at old photos and a lot of cuddling. Moments we missed amidst the chaos!

I am only hoping to do many more things I can relate myself to in the next two months! I hope to create a memory I can blush about in 2017. For now, I am looking forward to a great vacation with my childhood buddy. As amazing as it sounds. Gearing UP!!!
