What I did in the last few months...

Those of you who read my blog might be wondering about this extended silence...well, a lot has happened in the last few months and i had to stop and pause for a while. Breaking out of the mould and going public with your woes is not a very done thing, but i have decided to be honest and faithful to my blog..so here it goes. I was pregnant and absolutely ecstatic about it. Life suddenly turned a color which was new and exhilarating. However, happiness was not too last for long. About to begin my second trimester, i miscarried and the world came collapsing. I was devastated and went into a shell and it took me a while to get out of it. Life is not always the way you want it to be and I am finally reconcilled to it. We cannot always get what we want. There are others who have far lesser than us. Therefore, to be content with what we have is the real meaning of life and the way to contenment. Thank god for the wonderful family and friends who stood strong the entire length. Another big change in life is that i have also quit my job during this upheavel. So, i am no longer gainfully employed. The rush of going through the rut of an overworked daily life is no longer there. This gives me a lot of time to do things that i always wanted to do. I have caught up on my reading..classics (D H lawrence, Thomas Hardy) to childhood favorites (P G Wodehouse, Agatha Christie) to New Age reads (Michael Crichton)-- i am dabbling in one and all. Also, i have done some travelling during this time. Went on nature trails and explored the thrills of rapelling, rafting, valley crossing, para-sailling, et all. Had some fun with good food, good company and the sand and the sea in goa (will upload the pictures on facebook for those who are interested). Also, went to this quaint location called murud janjira. The beaches are relatively quite and much cleaner and the air is fresh and pure. If you want to take a relaxing, no frills holiday, highly recommend this place for a short trip. Watching movies, reading, catching up with a few friends...this is how my world goes these days. When the hubby leaves for work, i am in my own make believe world for the greater part of the day. However, i am going to be soon back in circulatiion and hope that an interesting opportunity comes by. Till then, i am going to make the most of this quietude. In an ending note, life throws up its woes, but the virtue of goodness always succeeds. Having miscarried twice, i might not have the joy of giving birth..but i have the world's best parents, a devoted husband and a doting brother to take joy in. I have some wonderful friends and a thrilling life to be happy with. Acceptance is half the battle won and the willingness to make the most of what you have is the other half. Wish the same for all.
