Thought no "tell tales" today rather KISS ( keep it short n' simple).
On an opening note special thanks to all those who commented for Risha's speedy recovery. Risha is getting better everyday. So happy to see her getting used to daily routine ( although her cast is still on), she's playing, eating, back to her "monkey business" basically. Managing all with one hand for now. She's brave. I am proud that she took it all in her stride. She's indeed special !
Daylight Saving starts tomorrow, already feeling the loss of one hour sleep everyday. Damn it! don't like the idea of setting the clock one hour ahead. But guess I have to being in this part of the world.
On an experimental basis, yesterday I was listening to the song "Jashn E Baharaa" ( "Jashn" means "Celebration" and "Baharaa" means "spring" ) from Jodha Akbar, I fell in love with this song. Love this song to death.Right from lyrics, music and above all the singer is mesmerizing. I know credit goes to AR Rehman but the singer ( Does anyone know who's the singer?) and his voice is out of the world. Its a Masterpiece. Now that Spring is approaching, this song fits the mood and as someone correctly mentioned, yup... it is the song of the season ,what a song!! The English Translation of the song is :
"Although its time of the spring festival, love is surprised to see that fragrance is annoyed with the flowers in the garden (hence the flower and fragrance are separated)
someone is hiding in the veil of sadness, all the beauty is hesitant, the threads of time are dormant, and there are unsure thoughts in the heart."
On that note "Think Spring" and "Happy Weekend Folks"

Rinaya,
Great style of Blogging. Keep it alive and this is to confirm my registration to your fan club. (Watch out Thinkpad, you have competition !)
I absolutely adore both of your daughters and wish Rish comes out the same old chirpy little angel that I love to play with and engage in long phone conversations.
If I could wish anything for you, it would be that you will be strong enough when you are weak, and brave enough to know when you are afraid, I would like you to be proud and unbending in honest defeat, yet humble and gentle in true victory and finally I would like you to never be afraid of expressing your Love as girl, daughter or mother.
Best wishes
Good, you reminded us about changing the clock. That means I can go to bed early today.Need I say I love sleeping !!
Did you know that today is International Women's Day ?
International Women's Day has been observed since in the early 1900's, and it's now an official holiday in Russia, Bulgaria & couple of other countries. I wish they make it universal to get a break from the "old man Winter".
Western countries have witnessed a significant change and attitudinal shift in both women's and society's thoughts about women's equality and emancipation. We do have female astronauts and prime ministers, school girls are welcomed into university, women can work and have a family, women have real choices. But lots needs to be done in developing nations.
But as women have become more educated & reached higher plateau in career, society in general has suffered (shows how important woman are !). Let me explain that..Women focussed on career are so busy that they have less time for family; delay their love life until they are well settled, have kids when they realize the biological clock is ticking. Both the couples are doing Corporate travel three times a week.. wow great you think ? That's the boarding pass for an early divorce. I don't mean a woman should stay at home, but find a balance between personal & professional life.
But we hear a lot about unequal pay in our careers. Even at home the spouses & fathers comment that " I am the bread winner & your salary is only good for groceries". Oh ya... what about women's role as a home maker; cooking, cleaning, taking care of children & more importantly maintaining harmony & love in the family ? Dude..if you start calculating overtime for being the home maker hmmmm... runs in to millions.
The bottom line is we don't need numerous speeches or rallies on this day. Do your bit to ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding. Think globally and act locally !! I mean, it starts at home... sharing care, affection & love.
Where is my Sunday's Sundae ?
Keep writing
