A sudden call to have a Christmas gift returned got me in touch with the weird logic of the national postal service being more expensive and slower than a courier. An impromptu session and a concert by the gorgeous SV. She had me speaking in tongues. Caramel shortbread and Bakewell tarts. So much for dieting… […]
Silhouettes against the morning sky. A silent reminder to keep on moving. After the news I’ve had, not a bad suggestion. Met friends of A. Friends she grew up with. The camaraderie was evident, also the similarities… warm, big hearted, and gentle. Was the first time I drove back from Madrid during almost “peak” hours. […]
My car broke down when I was leaving for work and the kindest security guard took care of it because I had to rush to work. Some of the kindest persons are right there and you probably pass them by without a hello. Stop today and greet them. Smile and make their day. And yours. […]
2 dogs in hoodies that ran around the park in crazy delight when their master joined their mistress. Loved the matching outfits and the swag! Friends and conversations that make one feel that their heart, mind and soul are at peace. Thank you D. A vendor and her little kid walked into the bar we […]
Sunrise with a crescent moon high in the sky. The sights that greet an early morning traveller. Sunset just as I was leaving office, bathing the glass facades of the buildings in a golden yellow glow. Invitations … to Gujrati food, to a coffee, to a music lesson. How blessed am I?
Crusing around at 120kmph and realising how much I missed it. A surprise call from an old friend. Wow … he reminded me of so many people I haven’t thought of in forever. A gift I gave Judy that now stands atop her piano. Wow. At the same time, Nancy sending me a photo of […]
Nothing better than taking the day off and doing things at your own pace. Have you tried it recently? Being spoken about at dinner… exact words being … “ella es lista ademas de ser guapa”. It snowed for hours, the day started off green and blue and soon developed into a white wonderland.
A visit from above. Well, I mean the team member who went to work above. It’s strange how anger and rancour fade with time. While in the metro, chanced upon this “Caution sticker” that looked like a grumpy cat. Security sensitive and a designer… just what the world needs. The neighbours are back in town. […]
Finished all the tasks I set out to do. Check after check today. Melted snow forming little water crystals on bare branches and the sun streaming through them. Such a beautiful sight to behold. Filled my shopping cart, but curbed the spendthrift instinct at the last moment. If only I can keep it in check […]
Back to office. Same faces, same attitudes. Familiar, comforting and a bit too overwhelming. Snow. No matter how many times I see it, I’ll always be amazed by it. Especially flakes outlined by street lights. Just something so magical about it. Looks like I’ll be working from home tomorrow. My first drive through the snow. […]
