It seems like Friday

With all the festivities around, it's so difficult to focus on work & think straight..Gooshhh!!!

I wonder if there are many who think on similar lines with me or AM I the only one..!!!

I am so darn excited, want to explore all the Durga puja pandals in the city, want to watch another movie, want to indulge in sweets, sugar & calories..loll

It's a less hectic here & I am again & again reminding myself that it is NOT Friday..

What are you doing this Friday? any plans to share?

Dreams & Desires..

After a good counselling session from my dear bothers & mom, I was finally able to get myself in order after 2 stressful days.

Anyways, while I was forcing myself to stay calm & happy, I was thinking about the beauty of god & was planning menus on the festive day ahead [after all, food is the key to make me happy!!!]

In middle of all this, a thought passed my mind & it was "When will I get an opportunity to unwind myself in Bali & then travel to Italy to feed my love of food ". I know you might relate it to EAT, Pray & Love. Well, that's the origin of the idea.

And on 2nd thought, I was questioning myself that when do I want to go? Have I saved enough? Do I want to spend my old age like our monthers / mom-in -laws, sulking each day about food, menus, festivals, maids & etc, etc

My mind instantly switched to planning phase & I made a commitment to myself. I will surely travel. Yes, I will along with my loving husband after 27 years from now.

Are you laughing at me?? well, 27 years because Samaera will be old enough to take care of herself & surely by grace of God, she will have her own life.

So, after27 years, My Hubby & I will start a new journey of joy & love.

I really need to start saving for it now..I should, in order to pursue my dreams & our happiness together.

Have you ever thought about it? Do you have a desire or dream for which you should start saving or planning? If yes, then,  please share.

Love,
Mansi

Not so good

It has been long.. approx a year since I am running away from my actual feelings.
Life is surely not so nice always.

I am feeling so empty, so sad..the people I loved & adored turned out be total stinkers.

They followed me professionally, caught me in wrong relationships, made fool of me & my emotions & eventually they moved on & act as if nothing happened.

GOSH, I can never be like them. I can't act normal like nothing happened.

Today I feel I have taken enough of shit from my friends & to be honest, I am in dilemma to call them as friends or not.

Not only this, I am confused about how to stop things, how to make myself disappear & ignore their cruel behavior.

I took a decision a while back & today I feel I was right. There was no REAL friendship that could have supported the whole structure.

Either people were diplomatic or they were too smart.

This is not the end of story, there are other set of "so called" friends who never pick up the phone, never bother to keep in touch & if by mistake they entertain your call, they would be so damm artificial.

O God, please give me a break from the people. I no longer desire to stay connected with them & take their shit. I just want to move on. I am stuck with these emotions that are no longer letting me feel free.

I want to resume my normal life & enjoy time with my loving family. I don't want friends as none of these exists & if they do, I guess I am not lucky with them.

Roasted Cauliflower

Today I just have a healthy and easy recipe for you. It’s so easy, in fact, I hesitate to even call it a ‘recipe.’ This roasted cauliflower is to die for. Trust me. I’ve been popping these florettes like candy for the last two days. Yum!

Roasted Cauliflower– Cauliflower, broken up into small-medium sized pieces
- Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
- Handful of fresh, grated parmesan cheese
Place cauliflower on a baking sheet or in a 9X13 baking pan. Drizzle olive oil over cauliflower, then salt and pepper. Toss cauliflower to lightly cover all pieces with oil and seasoning.
Roast in a 400-degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Stir once or twice during cooking. Check for doneness with a sharp knife, to the point where you can pierce the cauliflower fairly easily but not to the point of mushiness. Remove from oven and toss with grated parmesan cheese.
Sit, eat and enjoy the simplicity and buttery goodness that is cauliflower!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Friends....a term..a relationship in which I have always or rather most of the time been unfortunate.


Come on..don't call me a Loner as I do have people whom I talk to, who share their feelings with me & I reciprocate the same but you see, friends are not just for that.


As per me, they are your second life line, they stand by you all the times, they love you, care for you..etc...I know I have HIGH expectations.


I do have many friends, you see..but most of my friends fall under the following categories:


1. Emotion friends.
2. Party friends
3. Hang out friends
4. Office friends
5. Comma friends


Even after so many categories of friends, I still feel the gap like a piece of puzzle missing.


I still don't feel too close to them & I know they feel the same too.


But at the end of the day, its life & it has to move on. 


Life is a journey, where you meet several people & at the end of each destination, you move on separate directions.

Half Happy Half Irritated

grrr...I know..I realize that I am starting the post at a very negative note but what to do..I am so p..ssed off at certain people existing around me..for those of you who are thinking that its about my in laws..sorry, you are wrong..It might be about you as well ;)) kidding..

I am happy with the way life has been after I made some major decisions in my life..to be honest..I can feel the God walking beside me & assuring me at each & every moment.I feel blessed..I feel happy..I feel the need to walk more..with GOD.

Now, moving on to the negative side of my feelings..I am tired of all the people around me..has it ever happened to you that you keep initiating things..u are one who calls, you are the one who says Hi..you are the one who feels the need of getting connected??.even though you are all caught up with the work each day..after all the happenings & killing my self respect for long..I have eventually decided to give up..ya..you heard me right..give up such stupid & over burden relationships..I agree that I might be wrong at several places but how about discussing it all over the cup of coffee..

Please pray that I should get over with this feeling soon..
