Ahem...
I have this post in my drafts folder which i started after seeing the movie Guru.. I know I told some people to wait for it as well, implying that its almost there.. But its gonna take a while..
You see works been a bit crazy and i really wanna write something sensible (D'uh!)..
so... yeah....

I am a bundle of contradictions ..
There, i said it ! I think if i were to ever go on a talk show an be asked to describe myself in one sentence, thats what it would be...
that I am a bundle of contradictions...
I have consciously tried to avoid facing up to that teensy weensy bit of a fact but what the heck, its the start of a new year an all that.. Might as well face it....
so, keeping in trend with that, I put down things that i miss/missed from my so called housewife-y days... (I swear, i never imagined myself ever writing this, even now i attribute this to the wine :p)
a. The ever so often trip to the gelato place late in the evening or night. The gelato's rocked!
b. The dedication with which I used to cook every single afternoon. I mean, stuff to make my mum proud.. and you don't know the extent of dedication you need to go into to make my mum proud! I don't think i ever repeated anything during an entire week.. wow....(ps: I don't so much as cook once a week even now)
c. Hubs coming home for lunch every single day and to see him eat a proper meal instead of all that salad nonsense.
d. The daily ritual and cliche of kissing him good bye with a 'try an come home early today' !
e. The walks every other day at the park just coz we missed going to the gym :)
f. Afternoon siestas ! Damn how can i forget that.. Luvvvvvvvved 'em ! Thats probably the one single factor which resulted in those extra 15 pounds that I am packing.. But man, what a pleasure to sleep in the afternoon.. awesome!!!
g. The weekly cooking ritual of making either a sweet dish or a chutney. Boy, I miss that.. Its used to be that one single event i could empathize with mums back home. The weekly chutney/pickle or the sweet/baked dish.. I used to religiously make something or the other every week. sighhhh i made my mum so proud...
h. The fact that I had so much time to moisturize, slap on a face pack, just simply pamper myself thru the day.. Boy.. I miss that....
i. Catching up on all my online reading..I keep sneaking in time frm work to do that but it just doesn't add up...
j. The ever so regular voice chats with all my buddies from around the world.. It just doesn't happen anymore :(
k. Last but not the least, the fact that I could really get up at noon if i wanted to :) every single day mind you :)))

Ho Hum !
Familiarity is such a comforting thing. They say it leads to contempt and there is such a things as too much of something. But at the end of the day its familiarity that lends us that warm and fuzzy feeling in this ever changing world..
Like that warm blanky that you always slept with, or that cushy pillow you would guard more fiercely that anything else!
No matter how old you are, no matter how stupid you get (:p), the thought of such things always bring you that much needed feeling of security and comfort.
On a particularly irksome day when you talk to an old friend, a good friend, there is a certain sense of deja vu, there is a certain bridging of physical space which makes you smile.. It could be something your friend says or does. To me, thats familiarity, that feeling of warmth re-created all over again...
A feeling I can retain for the entire day and play it over in my head to get me thru crazy days..
Its very comforting to know that no matter what, some people don't change, some behavior patterns don't change. That goes for me as well as people around me.. And thats a good thing. Because you don't want certain things to change..
Whether its how a certain friend is quiet protective of you
Whether how goofy a friend is at times
Whether they have the capability to talk non stop nonsense..
Or just plain and simple fact that no matter what or how crazy their lives are, there are some special people who will always take out time for you, who make that effort to talk nonsense or chit chat for half an hr every few weeks or so...and when weeks go by without any chat, send you 1 liners saying - "I havent spoken to you in a while, remind me to talk to you" :)))))))
