As much as I want to avoid, but if keeps following and here it is-back with a bang!!
Welcome summer!This is the time of the year I dread the most. The scorching sun,the blistering heat, the sweaty days- doesnot go very well with me.
I love the winters of Delhi. It allows you to live your life to its fullest. Its funny, but I behave like animals going for hibernition. Only it goes the other way for me. I hibernate during summer and come out of my hole during winter.
Come October, and I prepare myself for the four lovely months ahead, and the beautiful celebrations that come with it-diwali, durga puja,christmas, new year, and ends with Valentine's day.I go back packing to all the places I want to explore, and enjoy to my heart's content. I shop till I drop and stock my wardrobe to last me throughout summer. I can afford to be outdoors, anytime of the day as the sun, gives me comfort and joy. You have ways to beat the cold, if it bothers you-wrap yourself with layers of woollen, sip hot tea/coffee, walk till your destination without a sweat. go sunbathing in the nearby parks, exercise mildly. And there you are-ready to face the winters.
But the story is not even remotely similar in summer. The heat leaves you at home for the entire day, and you keep waiting for evening, to venture out. The ceiling fan does its best, but only a cooler/ air conditioner can come to your rescue, provided the power cut is negligible(which never is at this time of the year, when you need the most). The electricity bills at the end of the month does wonders to your wallet. Venturing into the kitchen, leaves you bathing with perspiration, and you end up loathing warm meals. Though there is no sun in sight in the evening, the hot loo lovingly greets you as you step out. That leaves you tired, and lethargic, and you keep postponding tasks to be done later.
To cut a long story short, summer leaves me depressed, snappy, tired, and I never welcome it with open arms. So long...........

weekends for a singleton
i dont quite understand why people dread the very thought of empty weekends.to be precise "empty weekends" is defined as the time that is waiting for you, without any planned activity, without company, without any work related tasks to be completed, and specially felt by those who are used to weekends come and go at the blink and miss speed.
well well, weekends need not be filled with things to do. in fact, strange that i may sound, but i prefer such time at my disposal. i am a singleton, and enjoy every single moment of it, without a lament, without a crib, touch wood!!
why should you be doing something to keep you busy 24/7?how would then one relax?let me be honest, i hate working weekwends, and rather spend all the time with myself!my mom calls me selfish, but if loving oneself is selfish, so be it!
now the million dollar question is what do i do???well.........nothing much!!!no no i do not spend idling, daydreaming, sleeping, killing time, if you thought so.now since i told you,i am single, i do not have to rush at all. i am up in the morning, not quite morning though, at around 8:30 9:00 or so, and if i feel like, stretch even a bit longer. and mind you, do not tag me off as a lazy bum, i have my entire two days planned in my diary, the previous day. so, i know just what to do, but first things first-i start my day with 45 mins yoga. then, a luxurious breakfast has to be cooked(sadly by me, no i do not have a help) and enjoyed, to last me till noon. i read the newspaper not missing any thing (which i miss doing during the week days, as i am in a hurry). i take pleasure in cleaning, dusting, mopping my small apartment and making it spotless(which i never do during the week).
i cook a delicious meal, or order out. i enjoy the meal with a movie, or my favorite television channel-discovery travel and living. i catch up with my reading, and enjoy the afternoon. i do grocery shopping, enough to last me for a week.i go out for a dinner, of course alone and no..no body stares at me.
so how does that sound????am i very boring???may be!!but atleast i am not crying for company, and learnning to be self sufficient and independent. oh by the way, i am planning to take guitar classes this summer, and practice some painting. and i am glad to say i enjoy my weekends all alone!!!until next time...the new blogger on the block..signing offff
