i never thought
i never will
i never could
but you made me
sail with the tides
fly with the winds
and go away .

November 2009
Almost 2010
its been a year unlike another
its been pain , companionship ,tears , love ...
where stability was chosen over chaos
happiness rules
major changes happened
and more to follow
the world went by ,in its usual pace
i paid no attention
people darted in and out of my life
i saw it happening
my dreams ached for reality
i made some of them come true
my loved ones wanted attention
i chose to make them a priority
2010 will see more of my dreams turning a reality
i ve learnt the art of making it happen

the journey makes me wise
On The Path
If you hope to expand
You should first learn how to contract.
If you hope to become strong
You should first understand weakness in yourself.
If your ambitions are to be
exalted
Humiliation should always
follow.
If you hold fast to something
It will surely be taken away
from you.
This is the operation of the
subtle law of the universe.
The law of the universe is
subtle,
But it can be known.
The soft and the meek can
overcome the hard and the
strong.
The true strength of a
country or a person is not on
the outside.
Just as fish cannot leave
the deep
One must never stray from
one's true nature...

bored
when will this work day end ?
the clouds are heavy and i m freezing at work
my brain died a few hours ago
my body needs some exercise
tired of drinking coffee & tea
bored of seeing the same ppl for the last 3 yrs
they r awesome ppl though
looking out the window
same old UB city
haven't been there since dubai
haven't had a drink in shiro since monday a month ago
eaten out in the restos in the neighbourhood
lived in this city for the last 26 yrs
travelled extensively , but wish to travel more
love my home ,office ,love,friends reasonably
out of passion
out of a purpose
out of something to accomplish
bliss is not that good afterall
when i struggled with challenges
at work , relationships , home ,my own ideas
i was happier
i was told to trust in the universe
it would find me love,peace and happiness
i have it all now
and sorrow "what if its taken back from me tommorow"
is this an illusion
what have i not worked hard towards this
is this just my laziness looking for happier solutions
what ever happened to my drive to achieve more , be more ,acquire more
did a part of me die
or is it reborn
ok i m off to mumbai now for some imp meeting
not bad ,the day ends well

Will you be there ?
I m unable to fight my urge to write this piece RIGHT HERE & RIGHT NOW . In the midst of a very busy day with 2 page full of "things to do" and emotions bursting out of me ,derailing my every activity - its time to let it loose ...
yesterday evening , i watched the MJ memorial service and could n't help but be moved . My ears captured every word of his songs and it was so obvious how heart felt and personal each of them were .More often than not , we always prefer to do things that speak our heart in the process .every activity is and should be made to fulfill once's soul needs ..and so is this blog .
its more than anything , a safe haven for my soul to finally find a place in the WEB.
back to MJ , as jennifer hudson sang "will you be there ?" i came so close to hearing the pleas of a lonely soul , trapped within the confines of a pseudo support system which barely fulfilled the soul . his cries for help and the ever persistent need to be known and accepted in all of one's entirety .
we all have our idiosyncranices and the only people who accept them entirely are the ones who love us . they are very few in number , but once we find them ..its impossible to let them go .
our lives are enriched by the ones who love us for "what we are ", not for what "we must be ".
some of us are blessed with parents who fit in this catagory ,but most aren't .
relentless in their pursuit for idealism and perfection , they constantly focus on what is seen ,proven ,read about often ignoring the brokenness and power of our soul .
we only let our hair down to those ,who will accept us for "what we are " ...the rest can just be happy with a close to nothing "ME" .
The bonds formed by accepting people for their faults and deficiencies are the longest lasting ones and through Ups and downs in their life and circumstances ...they make it through . Jointly perfect ..singularly broken ,still in need for the other half .
As MJ expressed his real feelings to the whole world , and made people aware of their feelings and emotions ..he was still unable to communicate the same to those he needed the most ..
like i just coined ...Alone we are nothing and together we are ATLEAST TOGETHER

Bite me
Last night , i was bitten by the strange bug again ,Not the Love bug , the "get ur ass outta town" bug . I can't help but reminisce about my last vacation , which was a week long , in an unknown island - atleast unknown to me .
a quaint airport ,with a view - cloudy skies ,greenery and hills and a small aircraft - this time i saw the crossover from sea to land as we landed on this island . A long ferry ride took us to a haven of beaches with no exotic names .strangely called Beach 1 to beach 7 , but who cared , the water was a pristine blue green with loads of beauty inviting us to dive for ... so here it is - the agenda of the trip ..pure nonsensical scuba diving - we were promised colorful corals , delicate & vibrant fishes , a mantis ray and an electric eel ..Awww ...what a thought ,i said to myself ..imagine saying hello to an electric eel (will it encircle me and give me an electric hug ) and what about all the fishes - i'd rather poke my head into an acquarium . As i tried to evade the experience ..i heard to knock on my door ,it was 7 am and time to dive in . The boat took us to the lighthouse which promised schools of fishes and a not so scary experience for beginners ....ok i think i'm stretching this ..there is a lot more to write abt this island trip and i am at work now ...so here it is ...i got into the suit , straped into the apparatus , downed myself with 6.5 kg weights and I dived in ...breathing heavily i almost emptied the oxygen tank in less than 1/2 the time it takes for a normal diver ...more later
Posted by Swapna Sitaraman at 10:58 PM
so i m back ,destressing during the workhours ,still recounting my diving trip .
My first encounter with a sea creature was the best ever , still struggling to breathe with the regulator and landing in the shallow sea bed abt 5 ft deep ..i spotted a strange creature rolling in glee , wonder if it was jeering at my inability to dive . I stooped down furthur and there it was ...infamously called a sea cucumber , a weird lil conical animal ,still tumbling in the sea bed as if it was laughing at me .Attempting to make some contact , i found a lil stone and poked it in its tummy and voila ..communication ...it spurted its white tentacles at me ...still curious ..i poked it further ..we conversed for a bit and then i moved on to find more interesting creatures.
