Pre Ramadan thoughts!

Basking on the warmth of care and attention at home, I reflect on my life, blessed yet eventful I couldn’t help thanking the people whose gentle acts made a heap of difference…….I lower my gaze as in trance filled with gratitude…..my beloved parents who gave me good education and values, affectionate siblings and the puck (my little sis )…….my cousin in the IT Industry who had referred me to a start up firm in Trivandrum when I have just finished my graduation……..My boss who has given a boost to my career by giving opportunities and always encouraged to study further……..my colleague whose intelligence and bullying instilled an urge for perfection……my cousin who took the pain to deliver the gift on my wedding eve even after meeting with an accident……. My spouse who unraveled a world of freedom ,wonder and passion………Sanads Philippino friends kind act when we had difficulty finding accommodation in the initial phase abroad……. The pieces of advice, criticism, genuine support and appreciation from the managers at my workplace in sharjah………. The cute ever loving and helping Doctor in Sharjah……..my colleagues who had supplied me with books to weather my toughest and lonely days…..the sober and soothing waves along the sharjah corniche that swabbed my tears…….The MD of the IT firm in Dubai who has given the freelancing writing assignment……..Sanads friends unselfish act of introducing the dignitary, the privilege to associate……….Now here iam with a beautiful life with ups and downs with laughter and sighs…more like a fairy tale……My heartfelt thanks to all of you out there…… let me welcome the holy month with this note of gratitude filling its fragrance!

My wish list garnished with fantasy

Hi All,

Good day to you thought of writing something to elevate all your spirits especially in the backdrop of relatively calm and quiet past weekend. Wish all of you had a lovely and relaxing weekend.

I was thinking about my friend’s theory about achieving things in life, he tells me; you can attract the targeted wish towards you, if you yearn for it with full heart and work for it, the gravitating power of mind is unbeatable. So as all the inspirational writers suggests, I started the first step, writing down the dreams and goals, here are some of my wish list for 2009

Writing a novel ( though I have not started it and every weekend I write down on my things to remember list to compile all my poems and writings, so far that never materialized, but Iam too advanced in my thinking that I started fancying me with the award in hand received for my literary debut, LOL)

Taking a shower in Rain The childhood memories of playing and splashing water in rain with my siblings creeps back and a sudden urge to unwind and immerse with this beautiful form of nature pops up, but when will it rain in Dubai, all I could see is the scorching sun, even if it rains all I could do is to watch and admire the beauty and rhythm of rain through the sealed window of my apartment.

Owning a sewing machine I love to stich and create new designs with fabrics, combining different colors and festooning it with extra ordinary stuffs, I imagine wearing outfits designed and stiched by me and look at my own reflection, so far my designs and layouts take rest in my own PC.

Looking at the sea at moonlight I love to watch and play with the waves, like school kids punches and kicks each other funnily, I feel the same affinity and fun in kicking its strong current and gliding along. I wish my spouse to pick up this habit of gazing at the sea so I could go to the seaside quite often.

An Atlas and a wall hanging world map I love traveling and the recession raided situation prompts me to get compromised with the Atlas for the time being, I love looking at the continents, like a butterfly I sways and admire each continent, its greeneries and waters marked on the world map.

Recreating all the wonderful places I have seen in my dreams All the strange and lovely sceneries appeared in my endless series of dreams, either through words or through paintings. Little bit confused on selecting the right medium.


So start jotting down your wish list right now itself, and stick it somewhere close and visible to you, each time you look up you will be reminded and feel the urge to have it no matter what happens…….and please let me know your musings!

Recession packed thoughts

Hi All,
First of all let me apologise for not updating my blog for such a long time, I wish to put the blame mostly to recession than to my laziness, could very well say that I have been undergoing the recession reveries especially in the backdrop where family delusions spiced up my being in this hot and humid city of wonder , I can sum it up like this unintentionally my beloved spouse fell ill and had to see his job saying good bye to him in the pretext of recession, joining in his woes and extending the warm hand of support and preparing the challenging plan of actions to fight all the odds, it took almost all my energy, when the expenses equations broke to an alarming rate, I have started realizing the true worth of financial dependence other than the emotional dependence in a relationship, a series of happenings in my life, and one more thing I have realized the fun in having a frugal living , an eye opener, helped me see the shallowness of people, helped me find the genuine people who would really stick to you and would lend you an ear to listen to your true feelings.

Ideas come and go as how to decently earn some extra bucks to tide this short period of delusionary phase of my life, here Iam with an underpaid job which gives me security and lot of creative exposure, thinking everyday hard as how to bring changes that would bring hope, happiness and coziness to my life. How would I utilize my talents that would help me pay for the bill that’s the question? Freelance writing; is it a nice option? What do you guys think?

My wish list gets longer and longer and I devise my dreams and plans list diligently waiting for a day patiently when I would grab my opportunities and emerge successful once again, like a phoenix coming out from the ashes, so fancy you all have reached where you wanted to be, wishing you all a satisfying and a true professional working week ahead!

Lovingly and trying to recession proofingly yours!

PS

This week I join my husband to listen to all Michael Jackson numbers, my husband used to love his songs and dance to the tunes always, a true and ardent fan of the pop star so let us pay a tribute to this legendary singer this way!

Valentines Day thoughts

Hi guys,
Aren’t you excited about Valentines Day, I is so near? Iam very much indeed, Notes of romance and sweetness are in the air adding a magic touch to the winter season, now iam getting nostalgic about those wonderful memories attached with that special day in my life back home. I still remember the day in which we a bunch of Business management students organised the event " Dieren" the event conducted at one of the best halls in town, after pooling money, the preparations we had for the big day, the lovely looking ticket designed in the most romantic way by my friend who has a natural flair for designing, though we were amateurs my friends managed to bring good DJS, the melodious romantic bits played for the audience still echoing in my ears.

Some were pretty worried about its success and the whole affair but they sold the tickets pretty well, they managed to broke even I guess, the first practical assignment to put management theories into practice. That event co-ordination is something that remains closer to my heart. Everyone in my batch were pulling my leg by asking why I was thrilled without having a valentine , I was wearing a fully white outfit groomed to perfection, I smiled and declared iam celebrating this day with my valentine who used to come to my dream and I am waiting for him to turn up, truly that happened after few years , the day when my husband came to my workplace to see me, after one year of courtship we got married and so far we have celebrated three valentines days together, the fourth one is approaching and I feel the distance will make that days celebration bit more special. You start realizing the worth of a person when that is person is not around.


So everyone make the most out of the day, don’t forget to gift your lover/spouse/the loved ones a wonderful gift, do share your valentines memories here with me

Iam heading to Dubai to have a look at candy/ flowers/gifts displayed there to be exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. So my weekend will be rich with the thoughts on this mysterious saint, I must say St. Valentine you are so sweet!

Sleep like an angel!

Good day to you all,

Hope all of you had a good night’s sleep, Frankly I didn’t get much of a sound sleep last night , John Grisham’s novel made me keep awake past midnight, Don’t you think books are a good tranquilizer, indeed they are, the words take you to different places, you bump into strangers, you feel for them you run with them and finally in that mental exercise you get exhausted and here you are, ready for a good sleep, all the characters getting ready to line up in your dreams, I was adamant to find out the climax of the novel, it took me few more hours to finish it.

The therapeutic effect of reading is heaven, you get familiar with different cultures, different lifestyles, different locations and I feel a writer is a magician a travel guide a true leader simultaneously making a spark in your thought process. I swear now a days it helps me get going leaving behind all the troublesome experiences , Iam eagerly waiting for some of Paulo Cauhlo’s books to arrive, my friend promised to give me the copies and Iam looking forward a delightful reading.

Anyway talking about good sleep reminds me of one finding on formula I read in Dubai and I would like to share it with you all.

Sleep experts have cracked the mathematical formula for a good night’s sleep in a bid to halt the sleepless epidemic – and there’s bad news for email addicts.

According to the Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts’ research, checking emails before you go to bed has the equivalent effect on the body of drinking a double espresso.

And, in an increasingly demanding working world, Brits are losing one night’s sleep a week to this sleep-deprivation epidemic.

Fuelled by spiralling use of PDAs, mobiles, laptops and Blackberries, business travellers are potentially robbing themselves of a good night’s sleep by failing to switch off gadgets early enough before going to bed.

Light from a mobile phone or laptop is intense enough to halt production of sleep-enhancing melatonin and experts are warning workers to switch off at least an hour before light’s out.

To help guests enjoy a refreshing night’s sleep, Crowne Plaza has teamed up with top sleep expert Dr Chris Idzikowski, of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, who has trawled through existing research** to identify the top five factors for a good night’s sleep – and the five things most likely to keep us awake at night:

Sleep solutions
§ Quiet (Q)
§ Complete darkness (CD)
§ Cool temperature (CT)
§ Comfy and clean bed (CCB)
§ Daytime exercise (DE)

Sleep nightmares
§ Electronic device usage 1hr before bed (EDU1)
§ Late-night eating (LNE)
§ TV
§ Caffeine (C)
§ Alcohol (A)


And this is what the formula for the perfect night’s sleep looks like:

Q+CD+CT+CCB+DE–EDU1–LNE–TV–C–A = Zzz

Dr Chris Idzikowski says: “Checking your work e-mails before bed on any electronic device is essentially the equivalent to drinking a double espresso last thing at night. Research has shown that light from a laptop or Blackberry is concentrated enough to signal your brain to stop production of melatonin, a natural hormone known to aid sleep disturbances. Being in a relaxed environment and incorporating essential wind-down time into your day is your best chance of securing a great night’s sleep - along with silence, darkness and comfort.”
