I have been writing and submitting like crazy. My in-laws are coming next week and that means no time for any writing. They'll most probably be taking up my entire time for may be 2 months. I was looking forward to spending time by myself during the months of April and May, when my younger one starts school. But, now it looks like I'll have to give up on a lot of things. And also, no more driving training, can't leave my old in-laws alone at home.

The Bollywood filmfare awards are on today and I would so like to watch it but my TV is down. I want to watch Shahrukh Khan doing the silly things that India loves.

I want to write a unique piece for Father's Day, but my mind just seems to drift to gifts and spending time with Daddy dear. What can I write that hasn't already been written? As a child me and my father never really bonded together, though I was in awe with him. To me he was unreachable, untouchable. But, as I turned into a teenager, my father seemed to be proud of my achievements and looks. For him I turned into an asset. We've had a lot of differences lately. But, then I feel as we grow older we realize that our parents were infact human, and they too made a lot of mistakes. But, I still love my dad very much and huring him in anyway is the last thing I would do.

Well, I would need all the luck I need during my in-laws visit. Hope to see them leave happily without any regrets from either their side or my side.

Global Thinking

It is so cold here. I don't feel like getting out of bed. I get up at 5:00 everyday, can you imagine? But, I believe that what you can achieve early in the morning you cannot achieve that later in the day. I start my day with a hot cup of coffee and try to write something. I have jotted down a few good ideas. The problem is getting started with those ideas.

Tomorrow I'll be having the kids and hubby darling at home. That means no access of the computer. On saturday a few friends have planned a refreshing ladies day trip to the Global Village. An evening of shopping and fun.Hubby will be babysitting the younger one.

I think today I'm gonna spend my time reading. Had a freind over for dineer yesterday night so I'm left with dinner left overs to cover todays lunch. Very convenient.

Yawn! Wish I could go back to bed.

On my way

Things seem to be going good. I might be slow but I'm trying to achieve my goals. Last half of the year, I lost weight, got two articles accepted. This year one of them got published and the other will be published in june. I feel more confident with my driving after I changed from manual to automatic. Will soon give a road test. My goal is to get my license in march and get a car for my birthday.

My mind is loaded with ideas for writing and that really makes me feel good.
