Must admit that the size of the book really scared me… it’s been lying around in my cupboard for almost a year.

Currently reading Buddha-Karen Armstrong

A traveler came to a expanse of water n desperately needed to get across.There was no bridge,no ferry,so he built a raft n rowed himself across the river.So Buddha asked his audience,what should the traveler do with the raft?Should he decide that because it had been so helpful to him,he should load it onto his back and lug it around with him wherever he went?Or should he simply moor it n continue his journey?

Liked where it also says that Buddha constantly said.. that one does not need to look to a teacher for answers ... if one looked within .. he/she would find answers for him/her sefl!

Just got done with reading For the love of a Son. Too painful. Your heart will reach out to all women who are suffering. and you are left wondering why........

There is this lovely line in the book... that say.... in Afganistan.. both girls & boys dream.. but only the dreams of boys come true.

Rahul & mom have left. feels weird to live without them in the house. The house feels so untouched when i get back from work.i use to love to live this way. i like my things to be left just where i left them last. things to be in a place that i think is most appropriate for it....... i like my bedcover and cushions to be just as well spread like no has used them.... clean and neat!.. crazy...... but now i miss when things are not a little messy..when i see things just where i last left them .. makes me feel like there is a vaccum.. I think living with family for 7 months has made me change a little... more adjustable and understanding.......i like this new change.
I miss pinching and kissing Rahul when i get back home. hugging him ...all the time. he will turn 26 sometime soon.. and yet i can never see him as an adult. I always feel that ravi & rahul are such kids. when will i change? or does this happen with all who are the oldest of teh siblings???

I think it will be nice to work on farm. learn to plant, nurture and grow veggies...... ... and then learn how to cook some local dishes. France seems to be a perfect idea for this. Some nice small village. Llive with a local family and work on their farm. But maybe I should consider some place in India that will allow me to do this. I guess it will be most practical for now. Anyone has any idea of a place like this in India??

When will this dream materialize? When will I get moving? Loads of things to do.. so little time.. lesser energy and guidance……… no guts… it sucks sometimes…. I need to break free from my habit of getting attached to people and places…. Does not allow me to move to the next thing…..

Moved into my new place... feels heavenly.......

A few things I should review at the end of 2010. I think it was important for me to put it down in writing….. least I cheat when I am answerable to myself at the end of the year. This list will have things I may add at a later point….. .. but to begin with ………..
1. Read 10 new books
2. Re reread 2 old books
3. See 3 new places
4. Watch 5 movies
5. Watch 8 plays
6. Handle my financials better
7. Start savingJ. (This is going to be one of the biggest challenges.)
8. Practice Yoga?? (Do you think this will work?)(I think I should give it a try anyways. It seems very non workable though)
9. Visit my Parents once a year.
10. Re visit Kalimpong. (This is a long pending trip. Must be done this year… and no excuses will be taken)
