You guys must be wondering why is the title of the post 'I am back.....' when its the first post in the blog. Well, I wont blame you for that. For few days even I forgot that I used to write before! Yeah, I used to write - here. Few people laugh when I say the reason for not updating the prevoious blog from, well, last 3 years. I forgot the password to that blog and the password retrieval information is being sent to an email address I dont have access to now. Yeah, I was dumb enough to give my official email ID instead of my permanent personal email ID when creating the profile. Only few people laugh, the rest who know me well just shrug their shoulders and say 'Yeah, you have a done a dumb thing! Whats new?'!! I love those second kind of people - they know me really well!
So, what made me come back to blogging? The simple fact that I have nothing else interesting to do. Not that I was filled with work in these last 3 years. I just dint feel like writing then. I hope I dont suffer with writers block again as soon I start writing. Fingers crossed!
This post is about nothing in particular - you will find loads of posts in this category! Its been 22 days now since my knee surgery and I have started hating the Bed and Pillow. I cant stand the sight of them. I want to start doing the things I like, the things I love : Walk - walk alone... thinking about nothing in particualar, walk to the Library, to Copsis, to Foxrun with the warm evening breeze blowing against my face and then walk back home when its well past midnight. Walk - walk without crutches. Run - run just for the fun of it, run to get the adrenaline pumping, run so that no one can catch me, run to get tired and then run again just for the fun of it. Eat an Icecream after having a heavy dinner without feeling guilty of putting on weight. Play - for the sheer delight if it, play - to get those tensions out of my mind, play - Badminton, Volleyball, Racquetball, Cricket and that beautiful of all games - Football! Well, there are so many other such things which escapes my mind at 5:10 in the morning!!
Yes, its 5:10 in the morning and NO, I am NOT an early riser. I dint sleep yet. I couldn't sleep more. I have been doing that for the last few days. As I am writing this I hear the chirping of the birds, I hear the sound of the fan - its eerily silent and everone at home is sleeping. I hear the Muezzin calling for prayers in that wonderful voice of his, I peep through the window to catch a glimpse of that wonderful of all sights - the sun rays gleaming in through the misty dawn, signalling a bright and brand new day! It brightens my mood and lifts my spirits like nothing else.
I now see the brighter side of it. This forced break has given me so much time with family members - I dont remember the last time I got to spend so much time with my family. I am getting to eat nice, fresh, yummy food and not think about how to prepare it! Google is seeing a decrease in number of searches on recipes! I am getting time to just lay down and think...think about everything. I got time to do one thing close to my heart - read. I finsihed Shantaram. Its amazing. Thanks Swetha! I plan to read 'Fooled by Randomness' next - Madhu suggested that book. He has a good taste. Heck, I even got the mood and the time to start blogging :-)!
I started the post thinking that I would just write something to make a start, or restart I should say. But I ended up writing this rant. Guess I need to stop.
