Woke up to 100s of msgs exchanged between old school friends. Made me recall a lot of stuff. Not all of it good, but not all of it bad either. Finally found a course on the kind of photography I like. Bella Kotak and Pratik. Loved how they were so not holding back any secrets […]
If you find that not many people walk over to speak with you at work, take a “torta de anis” and some “rosquillas” to share with everyone. Works. Every time. Finally got to watch part 1 of the amazing fairytale like photography of Bella Kotak and Pratik. Loving it so far. My first brush with […]
Deciding to get rid of stuff. My wardrobe is so cluttered with the old, that I don’t get to show off the new. Same could be said for my life. Time for some spring cleaning. Good thing we have a long weekend coming up. Being asked to stay to resolve an issue and work and […]
That moment when the status of my residence card read — Favorable! Memories of a weekend visit by a niece a nephew. Life’s different with kids around. Chilling at home with Sinatra, Julie Andrews and other OSTs
Watching Judy tear up on receiving her gift. Well, Elke too. And Elke had a gift for me – Tattoos and a bracelet! A barbeque with my in-laws. Giving my mother-in-law and her sister a gift … just a cookie, but it’s always the unexpected, simple things that bring the most joy. Maria telling Dani […]
My first ever German-Spanish mass. Lunch, laughter with strangers who are now friends. A photoshoot for an unwilling child became a happy experimental photoshoot of the mum and her friend.
Took a walk around Madrid with a friend I’ve known for years. Made plans to watch a bull fight. Hopefully it’ll work out soon. Kids, funny, smart, awkward and at times irritating. But oh! such a joy! The joy of conversing with a person who is willing to listen, share a chuckle. Someone who encourages you […]
Tenacious troubleshooting finally fixed a tech glitch which an unpublished change made by the provider caused. High Five! Being told not to go sky diving cause I’m needed. That made me smile. Wore a salwaar kameez to office, and an exuberant director complimented me on my gorgeous saree. I’ll keep the compliment. Oh …and yeah … May […]
For years, sadness has been my muse. It took a long time to learn to handle it. Now, I welcome it, embrace it and then let it go. I hold on to the lesson, I remember the reason and say my goodbye. Glenn Ringtved said it well – Cry, heart, but never break. Picking a random […]
My first long drive after getting my Spanish license… to the End of the World – Finisterre! Reaching just when the sun was setting and watching the sky put on an exhibition just for me. Blessed. Falling in love with seafood. Cause it was delicious. Cause it was worth it.
