ps/ - i LOVE this video. Dont leave without watching it - FULL. This is something you must not miss. Life is too short to be proud of being busy. Savour life. Every second of it. Inidhu, Inidhu - that is how life should be. :-)
Hiatus - A break or interruption in the continuity of a work, series, action, etc.
In my case, blogging. :-(
I am truly sorry for not being able to leave a post during the last two months.

No. I am not going to say I was busy.
I hate glorying the word busy.
Busy is a word that is meant for people who do not have lives.
I sometimes wonder about all those people who constantly claim (or rather allege and declare) themselves so.

What when they grow old ?
What when they become inactive ?
When all that busyness comes to a halt ?
When being idle is their only available choice ?
Will karma knock at their doors?
Will karma say, "Well, guess what ? You spent your whole life lauding and celebrating the action of being busy. All those people who were there, tirelessly and patiently waiting for you, hoping that somehow, you'd set aside some time for them, have ACTUALLY moved on. Well, now it's your time to listen to them say, "We are not BUSY - but rather, ENJOYING time - with family and friends who were there for us - all these while."
And, yes.
And, yes.
That's what I have been doing.
Spending LARGE amounts of time with family and friends.
Luxuriating in relationships that matter.
- I have attended reunions.
- I went for family functions. Lots.
- I have stayed over the weekend at my sister's place. (Which I have not done in years).
- I watched movies at the theatres, instead of at home.
- I enrolled for yoga classes with gym facilities.
- I head to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, more frequently, to visit my favourite relatives as well as my best friends.
- I spend many free evenings with Amma at the kitchen.
- I have gone window shopping in later afternoons and temple visiting in the late evenings, both on the same days, with Akka - my best buddy.
- I enjoy biscuits over tea time - with family.
- I read. A lot.
- I am researching for my next vacation - already.
- I meditate every other day. For 20 minutes, at least. It is indeed, very calming.
- I joined a friend to the art gallery some time back. It was beautiful. Art is beautiful.
- I want to swing by Singapore real soon. The Universal Studios and the Underwater World is simply irresistible. Planning has already started. :-)
- I STILL have a hundred things running on my mind and hope to do as much as I can.
To everyone who has left me emails, iMessages, Facebook messages and comments, thank you from the very depth of my heart.
It is honorably wonderful to be appreciated. Thanks, yet again.
I spent the weekend at home. All 48 hours. Loved it. It has been a while since I had the immunity of doing so. Home remains my favourite sanctuary. I also love the beach, laid back coffee cafes and of course, Chennai and now, Varanasi, too.
I watched this movie this afternoon, with Amma. My sister and her kids joined us half way through the movie. They were paying the mandatory weekend visit. I was not paying full attention to it as I have watched it a couple of times prior to this. I was browsing through something on the ipad, actually.
And this song played. And I looked up. And totally doted it.
This is beautiful. Really.
Immerse your self in the song. The lyrics and the melody. Absorb the conversations in between.
Take care. God Bless.
Love always,
~Shalu~
