I think I am loosing track of my musings, since I always delete the previous one! Well, I remember that the last one was when I had started working again! So much has passed between that time... that I don't know if I want to write it all or not!
Well, starting from the start... I lost my grandfather in summer of 2010. This was the other most unexpected news I heard after my nana's death. I was shocked as I was waiting for him to come online so we could video chat and talk about his Farmville! I never got a chance to say my bye to him. I don't know if I want to go back now or go back alone ... The home won't smell of them, the charm of going to dadi baba and nani nana has gone away! I know I will always be searching them in those familiar spots - baba sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper, nana sitting playing cards, dadi calling me to her room to show me her sarees, nani making my fav food in her kitchen! I think a part of my life was laid to rest when all my grandparents crossed to another world however they all continue to live in my heart forever.
At work front, faced working with Indians! Found friends in the most unexpected people and found the true nature of some people! Of all the new people I met in the new office - I love CV (Cristina) - she is almost 48 but my best friend just like my mom at work! We chit chat, we learn while we talk, we shop or go for drives during lunch hours or just talk about anything and everything in the world! She is one person I can always look upto and know that she would always be there for me! A true Aries - loves to be her free independent spirit but loves me like her daughter! :) Got my first unexpected appraisal within the 1st six months of working in the company - most people were shocked and I was pleasantly surprised. But, as my manager said today - you earned it Adya.. you displayed that I could give you more responsibilities and still count on you.. makes me feel proud of myself. :) I started leading projects today with people working with me.. I am excited at his new adventure... and I want and I know that I will work to surpass all expectations.
Traveled places this year. I loveee sharing this interest with my dad as he never says No! Went for so many day trips.. and few weekend trips. Midland - all the murals along the downtown streets, each telling it's own story, Little Lake - wasn't really little, Wymbolwood Beach - private beaches at it's best, Tobermory .. the pristine water with ship wrecks - gotta go back this summer, Sauble Beach in September and still soaked myself wet in the beach, walking on the sand till I had to be pushed away so we can go home, Montreal - oohhh... the cold winds and the snowy roads... the waterfront and the xmas lights, Ottawa - the trip to Parliament Hill - loved seeing the beautiful architecture and wished that Indian parliament was open for public! Best was to NYC - left lots of smiles, iny tiny part of my heart and a big package of hope! And to top it all - I have my list for this year all planned out!!
Somehow, I am dying to go to India this summer ... not because of any other reason but I feel I have missed out on soo much for the last 4 years - seeing my all brothers grow up whom I still think study in primary school and whose pics I refuse to believe. I wasn't there when my dadi and baba went away... I want to feel their presence once more time in the house.. I want to attend all the marriages I missed, carry all the new born babies whom I miss picking up and singing them to sleep! I am coming India asap!
Somehow, I am happy with my life at this point, looking forward to all the good things that are coming to me and yes taking them all in a stride... and I know I will! What a life!! <3
