Looking for true love!

Yesterday I had a chance to watch this wierd movie, 'Lake House'..although however I tried solving the time tunnel concept I could not apprehend what the movie had to offer. Except that it was mind challenging and interesting in a way..I kept glued till the end just to find out the meaning of true calling of love. Again today I watched another movie on the same topic, however different in layout and concept it revolved around the same enigma of falling for your true love just like that and remaining so for years to come.Very idealistic and romantic to fantasize some thing likethat to happen to us but hello have we ever thought about the consequences of finding out many disturbing facets to your loved one later on when the dream phase fazes out and reality dawns.They say love is blind..true for many that meansif you know a person inside out nothing else matters. What has to be beautiful and appealing is the inside of a person. I know in our youth we tend to be physically attracted to the outer or exterior personality..the looks matter more..the physical attraction blinds us to the dark sinister side of that person. Infact we forget to analyze whats beneath the surface. we dont take time to read that persons inner feelings, sensitivities, likes dislikes,habits, back ground. You know once we are fully involved in a relationship we start to realize that the person we assume to be completely bonkers for is not the right one but then its too late. Dont you think it would be better if we take time to see both sides of a person..to know if he or she matches with ourpersonality.I know people say opposites attract but thats physical attraction which will fade out with years and then what?? you will find you have nothing in common. he puts one track and you abhor that song. he puts off the light because he hates reading and you are an addict. he loves children and you dislike having them right away. There are so many examples of pld aged couples in our families who suddenly when left alone after their children move out are at their partners necks for small things because they are not suited to each other or as they say opposites in nature. One wants to stay home all day the other loves out door activities. One loves eating out the other hates it. so on and so forth.The only thing that bondsthat love is the companionship bond. I hate to say that its a wrong and childish fallacy when at a latter stage of your married life suddenly you feel the urge to find your soul mate. thats all a crap again because it involves many lives by then your childrens and husband or wifes.So what to do if you feel trapped in such a situation?? I advise find yourself. give space to yourself and your partner. make friends or widen your circle. Explore hobbies..love life as if it was your last day...and most importantly find positives in the person you have spent your life with. Disregard all the negatives and love him or her as your true companion. love what he or she loves and ask them to do the same.like one day watch the movie they like or listen to the track they love or dont read any thing at all if they feel like upto it and vice a versa. Thats called as compromising and I tell you true love will come to you. not from some where else but right from your own house..from your companion. What is true love??? is it momentary passion or a steadfast loyalty?? is it goo goo eyed pink haze???No! true love is being with some one who cares and provides no matter what and raises your family and sacrifices and remains loyal to you. Yes if we try to see a person before hand and seek the right personality completely suited to us it would be ideal. but the give time before plunging into a relationship other wise if its too late then seek the love within your partner or teach them . I assure you the exercise will not be futile..it will bear fruit! Heres to True love!

Potato Ratatouille!

For those of you who have already watched this animated cartoon movie, 'Ratatouille"..I hope it spells correct but any how those who already know which movie I am talking about would also understand what I am referring to or for that matter know the spellings as well...well the story was about this chef who wanted to be recognized as one and with the help of a arty crafty Rat..yes sir a rat chef he made it!! so my idea was not to declare that I had found a rat chef to help me become a known chef but to tell you that I should be declared a potatoe arty crafty chef what with the need to find all kinds and all sorts of potato recipes have turned me into a jhat pat or rather a quick online turned do some thing quick potato fairy.Yup the day I got married i asked my darling after a few days what interested him in food and after a looong list of meat and bbq and chicken and more meat I politely had to intervene and ask again if there was any veggie that interested him also to which he immediately jumped up and enthusiastically blubbered that potatoes were his favourites and any thing with potato would be fine..So, my dearies from that day till now potatoes are always combined with meat, or veggie or lentil or baked or boiled or skinned ..well you name it we have it in all forms.
Even my darling children are potato junkies..fried, micro waved, mashed, sliced, boiled they love it! I feel like a potato Ratatouille honestly thinking of innovative and quickest ways of presenting the same potato head.and that too in a jiffy.honestly i had to remind my boys of the circumstancial consequences of gobbling too many baked potatoes..the painted picture of potatoes hanging from the sides and protruding from the back did not even deter the determined potato eaters. Some times I really feel potato is one vegetable that has the tendency to get you hooked on it. Fries are the most inviting even I cannot stop myself from reaching out to the plate and withdrawing myself as just as quick lest my fingers intervine and make a fistful dash for it. lol!
Coming back to conjuring up new potato storm I certainly salute all mums who slog at the kitchen counters thinking of pleasing ways of presenting new dishes for their loved ones and believe you potatoes are the best magical food that never fail to please any one of any age group. All what moms have to become is a Ratatoille chef and viola..their hubbies and kidos and fidos will be well fed and forever hooked on your crafty ways..Happy potato Cooking!

Daddy's Girl!!

Few weeks back when the summer was still not around and the spring was in its full bloom in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, I had the chance to stay with my dad a good two weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. This time it was not the good weather alone but my dad's company that made my stay so sweet. It was specially more so after my mom's demise last year that I had the chance to fully understand what dads are all about. Previously my visits were always influenced by my mom. We had that special relationship ..mom and daughter one which is a sweet and sour combination turned bitter towards the end of the trip but honeyed down to a sweetest good bye..a dramatic emotional play with kisses and good byes and sniffs and apologies!! I do miss my mother a great deal. No one in this world can take her place ever.
However, its this off n on dramas my dad was always the silent spectator..the kind of dads who want to please both parties and yet be in the good books of both..a rather difficult situation I may reckon we must have put my dad into. Any how post my mom he was at first shaken, devastated.then reconciled to being alone and then settled down to this status of being single and alone. Any ways on this trip to my surprise he was saving a lot of things to share with me . like the marigold that had bloomed on our terrace and the big old crate that he had turned into this painted planter on my insistence. he knows i have this penchant for plants..green hands that i have and of course I inherited this quality from him..I 'd forgotten over the years that it was he who used to bag garden prizes. We went to see our land in the mountains and discussed what next was to be planted there and may be build a small shack for occasional night overs or day spends. We even went for walks to the club and he shared the smallest nook and cranny that had some thing to show like a new green rose bush and hanging babylonian styled terraces and then we had a quite tea session and a library session where he showed me new arrivals and the books he had photo copied and why he did that. To top it off we also attended tambola night where most of the attendees were all oldies intent upon winning and I almost dozed off lol! but the best date with my dad was the dinner out together where he watched his cholestrol and I my weight. He gave me tips how much to walk and what to eat and not to eat which I hardly listened to had a full hearty four course meal.
To top it off not to forget the books discussions at home at tea time and morning newspaper suggestions and health tv tips made me understand my dad even more. I realized how much he missed my mom and how much he loved my company and shared every little thing that he nver did before in the fear of disturbing the mother daughter equilibrium. Now has me and I have him. I am my daddys girl who wants to talk to him on and on clinging to the fact that he is still there..alive and talking..one i can hug and share my hopes and dreams and fears with...I beg of all of you my friends and followers to enjoy your parents company now as much as you can before they leave you and fade away..then it will only be a sad memory and a regret that you did not give time to them!!

Born Free!

I was born with a wild side to my nature. Some people refuse to believe this looking at my appearance and nature now but thats what I am really a person with an adventurous streak..Some times I blame my mom for dressing me like a boy from the beginning. I was mostly in Ts & jeans and what with my short curly hair that she could'nt handle the main reason why it was always kept short..I grew to be a very adventurous aka tom boy as I always hung out with boys alone. Probably had more wave length with them or rather enjoyed climbing most difficult trees, roof tops and swinging on the highest branches and picking fruits all after noons. I guess that wild side has stayed so far and become a part of my nature.Born Free I call it now. Or most people who really know me know this side of me. I love hiking, climbing mountains, living close to nature, biking, trying all the most difficult challenges that one can possibly imagine..car races, screeches, motor biking antics and what not I ve tried it all LOL!well now i would call it a healthy amalgamation of feminish  traits with a wild heart,LOL! well dont misunderstand this wild heart to be a flirt..Infact what it means here is that this heart yearns to be be free in the wild again. Seriously,Its time to go back to basics. I yearn really badly to live on a land where there are wild trees and fruits and mountains where one can landscape and build tree houses and romantic hide outs with hanging berries to reach out and eat when ever your heart desires. Keep animals and grow flowers. Go for morning walks and see the setting sun and have bon fires at night. What fun it would be to explore new things every day. Do bird watching and talk to animals and plants and count stars at night..is it too much to ask for ??I guess some people would call it being too romantic..I will just laugh it off and say No i am not being idealistic I would prefer to live in the wild in my last years of my life. Just enjoy being a part of it.I will paint flowers and birds and sing my heart out and write about every thing I explore and take photos...I will become a child again with no worries, no tensions of this urban life. A pure and simple heart that yearns to be close to Nature. I guess a leo always remains a leo..born to be free!

A Walk in the Air!

A walk a day keeps the doctor away it is assumed as in an apple a day does the same but if the doc is too attractive what should one do?? or of all the worst scenarios if one is married to a doctor what should be the strategy both ways if he is wanted or unwanted lol!! Any how I try to keep a regular walk regimen..not that I am too keen a walker as once I used to be an active and eager beaver hiker in my hay days. I still try my umpteenth to do the same once in a blue moon..well that moon hardly turns blue nowadays, mostly it is white so in a way hiking comes once some months and walk it is then perforce...but friends let me share a few tricks to regularise your walk. First my key points are to keep a vigil around your self that is take occasional peeks sideways and backwards...yup got to keep two eyes at your back as well not to protect yourself silly from any muggers but to dip and duck for most of the times zig zgging moon walkers. yup Moon walkers it is!! Guys n gals its a fun to watch these trying to be really cool walkmen on the run. All of them have their own funny steps of creating a walkathon. Some Air walk.. just breeze you by as if in a dream of their own.While some thump and bump haughtily on the jogging lane as if they own the entire area especially female walkers are the funniest when they try to out do the men and in doing so they squirm and worm their butts out in a queer manner. Their arms flailing in the manner of lady boxers. lol yes I can bet I may even be a target for such bird..I mean walk watchers.. I esp lovee the colourful dress code on the track.the reds and yellows and chirpy , jaunty outfits that keep you mesmerised not to forget the equally appealing world of accessories bobbing you by.and smart caps and ear bobs and ankle trainers and wrist bands. so walking is not so boring afterall if one keeps a positive and exciting outlook and enjoys keen observation. In fact it opens your world to a whole new scene..on the track and at the same time trims you and improves your health. So dear readers next time you plan to start walking regularly try enjoying your walk. Look around you theres a lot to pull you through as motivating incentives and voila you will soon be Moon walking, jay walking, Air breezing , pony bobbing by the newest tortoise disgruntled  huff puffers. So take a Walk..you wont regret!

Life a...Labyrinth

Some times life seems like a labyrinth....a complicated enigma that wants to be unfolded..discovered, explored!! and we start perfectly well when we are born by opening our eyes a little at first and then taking it all in like drinking it all inside.  Thisthirst to explore is an unending struggle to learn new things. A wonderful curiosity that leads us to open new doors and learn it all. Why then after we grow up that quest of learning stops and in its place we develop that horrendous hunger for greed.Instead of learning more we run after acquiring and hoarding materialistic and worldly things to satisfy our egos.It is only when we are close to our dying age that we understand the labyrinth or the meaning of this life created for us for a short while. By then our time is up and what remains behind is a battered and worn body and a house full of materialistic acquisitions that are either distributed or thrown out. Very few remain as long lost memories..I just wish we solve this labyrinth much earlier and find happiness in small things of life. Things dont bring happiness its the little things that give us that joy.. a smile, a child,a thank you, a hug..satisfaction of helping some one, being polite and kind at heart...there are so many little things to me others happy and in return make us happy and contended.Because in the end all that matters is self contentment and contentment should be inside our soul!!

Cricket Cricket every where!!

These days its the cricket season..world cup chantings all over the world. Children on the streets, men with radios attached to their ears..people glued to telly tubes. Its maddening some times cause when one season finishes  another one starts in another part of the world. Whats with men with cricket and auto mobiles?? Got to give them credit for being so patient watching each and every match some times even old ones televised again have the same reaction upon their emotions as they did when it was live. Beats me as probably much to the disappointment of my dear hubby and my two boys and even my daughter I dont have that kind of enthusiasm and patience to watch each and every boring match till the end and discuss each move and every ball or catches they missed and why they did that and how it happened.
Well in my youth I did have a lot of interest to watch it on the ground..well actually the matches were only an excuse to watch our heroes. In our case Imran Khan was the main magnet for us college girls to buy tickets and have a picnic instead. I still have so many useless autographs stashed some where in my trunk that made no difference to us but just to be in the line used to be one hell of a fun pastime...I guess cricket was more fun to watch in those days. Cricketers were more focused and devoted in fact and there were no commercialism involved in it. Nowadays its all about the money.There will be very few such heroes left who one can look up to.
As I was saying whats with men and cricket and auto gears??? Give them a telly tube..lots of munchies and a Cricket match any old one will also do. In fact i guess it runs in the genes or rather its like a soother that used to be given to toddlers or remember when the play mates were made to sit together with their favourite cartoons ??? Seriously I feel exactly like those moms or baby sitters who can easily fool their hubbys with a list of any rerun sports matches, be it foot ball or cricket and lots of pop corn, chips and salsa or fries and leave themselves for a good dose of shopping and movie with their friends and be back on time to switch off the tube and serve dinner...lol!
same goes with auto flash mania.. you should see their eyes when they look at a car or a two wheeler or a jet or a boat cruiser..One can see that glint in their eyes.. a spark that gets ignited.. a flash of excitement. same is the case while watching these matches. I don't really watch cricket I watch these men with different funny expressions and glint in their eyes when the batsman hits a score or a moan when a fielder leaves a catch and a howling hooray or a jump on the sofa when their side wins or a grunt and childish anger to switch off television and start their exercise just to vent out anger if the side loses. So I guess cricket is every where and mind you my dear girls who are not too enthusiastic about this game never  ever play with their emotions while they are watching their favourite games..best would be to leave them on their own or join them with their cricket dramas and soapy operas. well I have learnt to do that seeing i was in the minority in my house...only I dont watch the cricket.. I enjoy watchin the drame at home while they are watching cricket ;)

Labled!

Come summer and our country goes berserk with the onset of latest branded lawn materials in the stores.This is one of the newest phenomenon that is fleecing the poor or more appropriately coined richer women lot who rush to the exhibitions thinking the day to be their last on earth. I also happened to visit one of such exhibtions and phew what a fiesty and fisty drama there was. ladies were properly armoured to win a battle to enter the stall arenas. I kept ducking in and out to get a teeny meeny glimpse of that priceless material but man it was not to happen for me. I could'nt even hold the revered texture that costed a fortune.Still luckily or unluckily those women were able to win the battles and get into the mainstream to stash a number of cotton and lawn materials onto their trolleys and head truimphantly towards the payment counter. I could only get the list of prices of a few sets and my oh my it surpassed even my highest limits. So much for dreaming of all those ethereal beauties on the telly and think I could look like them if I wore these labled lawns.
Anyways I did'nt lose heart or determination and decided to visit yet another promised lawn lable to turn me into another genre of prettiest princess as shown on the cover of a fashion mag. I huffed and puffed to catch hold of those coveted materials but was pushed back womanhandled till I lost all my patience. So, I bull dived in the arena and got out of the vicious circle with a handful of lawn in my arms and ran to the counter to pay and show all my friends that finally I also was one of the labled brigade. The price punched in and I was handed the receipt. I truimphantly took my stuff and opened my bag to do my payment and looked at the  receipt and..was taken miles aback..my heart nose dived and lost all breath..this meagre, measly , informal piece of cloth demanded a hefty amount that I thought could have easily bought me a formal dress that could have lasted more than one season but well I was labled..I bought that branded good for nothing for just a few months for me material just because every one else was buying it and headed home to call every one I knew that I was also finally going to be one of the labled lot.Ha..things we do to please others..we in turn get either hoodwinked or LABLED! lol!

An Enigma to unravel!

Sundays are the most complicated days in our life rosters. One wants to sleep the entire day or rather plans the whole week to do so but the day it arrives one is up at 6 am in the morning wanting to go for a fresh morning walk which in normal cases one would hate to do and plead not to be wakened.Whine and protest..growl and threaten the one who is performing the hated duty to wake you instead of sleeping himself of dire consequences. In my case Tit for tat. wake him at 5 in the morning and jump back to sleep Ha! so much for being dutiful listening to all I ask for. Why can'nt people do other nicer stuff like buy nice jewels every other month for me or bring flowers every day or take me out every other day to the most expensive places or let me eat when i crave for the oddest things at the oddest hours of the night...well they only do what they feel like doing like wake me up on a week day and think all chores will be done..break fast,  taking care of school kids which thankfully we have none any more, pets food,menu decisions to be directed to the kids, house cleaning by the lady and the cleaner sooo...is that why i need to be up so early all week days. I need to have a break on a sunday.its cleaning mans off day, no house lady with umpteenth juicy stories. no kids to wake up..no office, no early break fast, not my day to feed pets so whyyy do I wake up on my own at 6 am with no help from my darling hubby mind you and there I am coaxing him, cajoling  and pleading him to go for an early morning stroll by the lake and he...in my fashion squirms and squeals and groans and threatens to do the same to me on a week day...Aha! now i get it its a chain reaction that goes on and on.
Any ways a Sunday is an Enigma to unravel in my case. I feel like exploring it thoroughly, fully till it finishes till the end..till its last hour. Enjoy every min of it. Walk, come back have a hearty breakfast from a diner or cook one adding all the most interesting recipes and ingredients to it, take a short nap after that heavy meal. jump up again lest it finishes, go to sunday markets..explore the beaches read the classified ads, call each and every one even the pet stores may be even visit those stores buy nothing, have nice tea someplace quaint and quiet and then return home after a tete a tete with some friends at a hangout or a quiet coffee at their house..wearily head home not quite satisfied that we made the most of a Sunday. Still more mysteries to unravel the next sunday. Explore the enigma of a Sunday but till we do that there's an entire week to pass by. Boring and unending week to dread. Well my Sunday has just started and I am on my way to explore the Sunday market tresure. Wanna come along???? I can offer you a cup of nicest coffee on our way back..well enjoy..go on unravel this enigma and explore the pleasures of a SUNDAY.

Sand in my Shoes!

I am home..my sweet home ..where exists my kingdom. I feel loved, cocooned and secure but why does it feel so empty suddenly?? is it the feeling of that empty nest that shines with strands of gold and threads of silver but longs of chirping tweets and whispering murmurs and giggles and laughter in the corridors. the hugs of assuring love are no more there. Is this how life completes its circle and moves ahead to complete yet another circle of love. it started with mine with a band of love and vows of eternal faith and now that last circle has been broken with the demise of my mom my own circle finishes that journey and creates two more life journeys. Complicated..is'nt it? this life!
I feel as I have sand in my shoes...as if I have left behind some thing and long for it again.is it my heart? my life or my love?? Its an unending enigma that i have to unravel with time. Only time is the healer..sand will keep pinching me in my shoes but the oceans will grow older and bigger. I will live at the end of one ocean and my life will be longing to reach the other oceans.Sad?? no I am certainly not sad only empty..I need waves to move my life ahead. I have to dive into these waves and swim out of each transition of life. Till these waves engulf me completely and I become a part of them..like that message in a bottle that keeps bobbing and reaches only those who long for that message. Circles will keep completing and life will keep moving on!

Hi there, long time no write ups heh???
well i have been really busy with a wedding and that too a v imp one in my life ..my son's. Any ways as it is it was one hullabaloo, lots of fun and frolic..preparations for the gifts and dances and events.Phew am I poofed out. no breath left. had the most fun myself despite the emotional and financial drain out. No regrets!
Life is short, sweet and there s no room for regrets ..enjoy all the moments..savour each morsel..drink in all the beauty in this world as if its your last hour. Only then one can realize its worth. The blessings we have been bestowed with.I may be the mid aged moma of a proud clan but i feel i have a life of my own as well. A rel living full of life vivacious personality. I can shout, sing aloud and dance till I drop.And why not thats the secret of my eternal youth and beauty. I advice the same to every one the same.No regrets.. no jealousies, no worries. Dwell in a positive aura and exude this light around you. Its contagious you know. Makes you and the people around you feel elated.
I guess one must learn to accep ones faults and others as well and move on if bad times strike. Regretting only makes it worse.I love life..its blessings..its cultures and people. Theres so much to live for. die for, yearn for. So, why regret when life has been so kind in so many ways. if not financially in kind or family or love. Think what others dont have and you have. The love of family the appreciation of friends, the satisfaction ofjob, beauty of life around you, the colours and fragrances and smiles..all so overwhelmingly important in our life. all we need is a little positive approach to life..a friendly demeanor and a lot to thank for to our creator.
Life is good..No Regrets!! thanks to Robbie williams philosopy I Feel life and revel in its beauty!!

Dose of love!

hey everyone! how you doing??
I on the other hand have fallen sick..down with flu and fever and cough and man do I become grumpy when I am sick. I create such a hullabulloo in the house.. every one and that means every one is running about to get me a glass of milk, hot tea, fruit, you name it I have these strange cravings for oddest things at oddest hours just like when I was full term..eating and gobbling away merrily on my throne and all my subjects feeding me religiously. God that was the funniest part, I would eat and eat and still not grow big much to every ones dissapointment and the docs would scold them that they were'nt feeding me much so face the consequences but thakfully the outcomes were pretty longg..I mean big to my horror. I was all google eyed and thought to myself where did I produce these when I didnt even look it lol! well ppl now I eat n eat and man it shows. Not that i have put on too much thanks to my hubby dear who drags me to the track every day despite my umpteenth number of excuses. I have a little pouch left to shed..but since last two days that i am down I dont think it will go away that soon as I will be stuffing my self with all the oddest crunch and every one will be feeding my leonine ego with more pampering. Actually I need it  as in like occasional dose of encouragement to make me move on .
I have these tortoise shell moments my cusp with crab that makes me go under if i dont get that pampering dose. My family has thanfully understood that need or have been forced to comply with my leonine tempers so they keep injecting me with lot of love and compassion and you are beautiful and I love you  only kinda doses and I keep happy  all lapped up like a well fed cat..purring and giggling and in return i shower them with my oddest cuisine combos and I just made up the recipe type delicacies and that makes them happy n fed.
well however today is my grumpy day..need lot of soups and liquids and love to roll me on..till another day maybe tom you all take care and yes tell your partners to feed you with a good hearty dose of love<3

Imprints upon my Mind!!

Hi! been away for a while..although I would ve loved to go globe trotting like I usually do in winters...last winter I had the chance to go to Sri Lanka and spend a good about two weeks in the sun, not that we dont have sun here . we have too much of it:) anyways the greenery the beaches the atmosphere and serenity really made my holiday worthwhile.I especially loved the coral beach stay in Hikkadua. Must go there if you get the chance. worth your money and a beautiful holiday. kandy had its own beauty. the greenery was breath taking. it was lush thick and had a unique fragrance. Of all the countries of the world that I have visited so far this country had its own character. Mind you Iam not saying it because I have not been to too many places. Believe me, I am a globe trotter in the real sense. I hate to shop and drop but i love to inhale it all in. The architecture, the character, the way of living, people and their lives. thats my hobby. I am an observer. A painter that paints it all inside their minds and relives in their memories. One more country that I really liked was Prague. The fairy tale character that it exuded was mesmerising. I felt like a princess roaming in their paved streets and old castles. Vienna was colourful.Full of life and vigour and aesthetically appealing. It offered so much for the tourist to see and savour its gourmet. Mmmm..I can still smell the aroma of its coffee in my morning strolls. There was music in the air. The entire city was pervaded with a sense of art and music. one got that over whelming feeling of being a part of that excitement and drama.
Although I loved South of Spain also ..the Mallaga and its neighbouring areas were so beautiful. I just fell in love with the orange groves on the slopes and white pristine villas some what similar to the white architecture in Jordon but mallaga was a touristy place. Calm and serene in winters..teeming with life in summers.the dances and their unique singing tempted me to stand up with them and dance.
However the best part of my longer stays are full of memories in australia and china. Australia was a different experience that cannot be matched with any of my visits to USA or england. its a outback country with a different feel to it. one gets hooked to it in no time. Probably my outdoorsy nature had some thing to do with it. I had so much FUN in real meaning over there. The kangaroos on the road sides, sanctuaries and even the city of darwin and Broome Island and christmas island are the most unique experiences of my life that i ve imprinted on my mind.
China was again another lesson in life. I learnt so much frome there, from its people who are so humble and friendly and so satisfied with whatever they have. Not like us who are always in quest to fill up or homes with artificial things and playing in the hands of fulfilling our false standards. their well kept history amazed me to no end and their castles and museums and art and craft was too overwhelming.
Well.. I can talk on and on abt my travelothons for ages. I guess I would love to share them with you again another time..another experience of yet another city imprinted on my mind. Till then, tc!
