Dear blog and the blogging world, I'm back. This may not mean much to the rest of the world, but means something to me. It is just something I had to do, if you know what I mean..
I'm even considering a new blog but that will have to wait for the time being, something I'm mulling on. My thoughts are now crowded with things I want to put in here, but let me take one step at a time.
Furst things first ;) let me allow you to glimpse through what I have been up to in the year 2008.
The things I did last year- some I always wanted to do and some of it well...just happened.
1) Joined dance classes- Salsa, Jive,cha cha cha and I'm still learning, man I can't believe my commitment, 4 months now and still going. If you don't know me well enough I'm easily bored, impatient so yeay! *pats her own back*
2) Taught in an NGO for 2 months. I really wish I had continued this but for some reason it didn't work out on a long term. I feel guilty about it. Anyway sigh! *bad shobz! No cookies for you!*
3) Went to Coonoor - Ooty after say 9 years( I lived there for 2 years, met a friend after 13 years and had a rocking time!)
4) I hitch-hiked on the trip to Ooty! Our bus broke down and we were stuck between Ooty and Coonoor so we took a lift in vegetable van!
5) Colored my hair. I got red-streaks done and yes it is a big deal for me :P
6) Got my nose pierced. It only stayed a month and then it came off. Might try that once more...*thinking* Ya I will...
7) Learnt to play poker. Though its not something I always wanted to do, it was something new I did last year.
8) I saw The Taj Mahal in Agra once again. Its absolutely mesmerizing no matter how many times you see it. My cousins and I were only wondering what if Shah Jahan's dream to build a black Taj right behind it had come true! And ya I saw Akbar's tomb in fact I touched it! Ain't that awesome! Especially after watching the movie Jodha Akbar just before going there you can gauge my excitement. I also saw where Shah Jahan was locked up by his son Aurangzeb during his last days, where he died watching the Taj Mahal. What a tragic life! And the marble dais where Tansen sat and sang for his King Akbar.
Okay I think thats about it and enough of history lessons!
Will add new things if I remember them later.
Now to things I want to do this year!
This is a part of life list, but this is a short-term plan for this year.
Yes I'm the kinda person who has a BIG plan and a realistic immediate plan.
Don't ask me about the BIG plan now!
Trumpets and Drum Roll!!! 20th Century Fox style;)
Here is goes- my list for the year 2009:
1) Do the beginner's course with the art of living foundation.
2) Learn something new again - kick-boxing, guitar.. just anything new and fun
3) Travel a bit more, visit a place I haven't been to before. That's something interesting b'cos I been to most of the touristy places in India. Ya I know I am lucky :)
4) Do some amount of photo blogging.
5) Dance dance and keep dancing :)
6) Buy a Digi SLR or the Wii console
The list is not yet complete, people can help me here with ideas.. though I think the one I have made so far is a tall order!
Till my next post.... Au Revoir!
