And then I flew

And then I flew

To a land so beautiful

That I was struck numb

My mind healed

My spirits sang

I drank in the sweet air

I swam with the swans

Felt the wind lift my hair

My toes tingled

My fingers tapped

Unknowingly I hummed

Then I closed my eyes

And smiled like the sun

Rosy days

Today I feel good about myself. Why? Well because I have partially completed the embroidery on my 1st self-embroidered salwar kameez. Yay! I am all excited now and can't wait to finish it.The thought of wearing my own work is just so amazing.

Here is a sample picture.Do let me know how it is.And please be gentle as its my first official one. ;) Ok so now that wouldn't be fair right?So I guess I'm open for criticism too. :D




This one is done on lime green linen material with multishaded pink and green threads and also beads.What do you think about the combination?Do give suggestions for more future pieces including color combos.

For happiness I shall fight

Why do I feel so old?

The times are passing by fast

Makes me want to go to the past

Because today is scary and cold

Black and white

Where have the colors gone?

Makes me want to cry and moan

But for happiness I shall fight

Frown and smile

That is what I shall do

For I still have you

And so life is worth the while

What is your verdict?

Sometimes in life,one tends to stumble upon situations that make you feel helpless even when you are yearning to help.

This story is about a doctor.I shall not say who or where.You tell me what you think.

There was a doctor in a small town.Patients were always queuing up outside his door.They claimed that their diseases seemed to get cured immediately on taking his treatment.They knew he was expensive but were ready to spend because the remedy never failed.A gifted doctor?Its for you to decide.

My husband and I were curious to know what drugs this particular doctor gives and makes everyone up & about so fast.These are a few instances we came across.When patients went with complaints of high fever,he gave them a high dose of iv steroids and brought down their temperature immediately.Then why shouldn't the innocent patients sing songs of praises?A simple 1st degree burns of only anterior aspect of 1 forearm,by plain boiling water was prescribed IV 3rd generation cephalosporins and IV Amikacin for a single day.A lady with diagnosed chronic allergic upper airway disease with occasional allergic bronchitis,with no history of fever was immediately prescribed IV Cefaperazone,IV Sulbactam,IV Amikacin,IV Deriphyllin,IV Avil.

The thing which irked me most was the trust these patients had in this doctor.If you advised them to go to another well known doctor in the locality,they were reluctant because they feel they will not get cured as fast as with this fellow.

Well it does not seem that right to me.If someone can tell me what the rationale was for the above treatment then I'm ready to listen.Do give me your views.

And Another Bird Flies Away

Time for adieus,another set of goodbyes.One of my best friends, Surya is now moving away to the United Kingdom for good.

She was known as the baby of our lil group of 5.Tonight when I spoke to her to wish her the best for the future ahead,she sounded like a woman.Yes the baby had become a woman.The maturity was evident in her voice.It seemed impossible so long ago but it is true.

Surya is going to her husband and going to start a whole new chapter there.There is apprehension and excitement at the same time.It is after all across several seas to a brand new place.New people,new lifestyle. The highlight of course is the loving husband.

Again I feel a sadness,a feeling of loss.Whenever friends leave the country,it definitely gets to me.What if we never meet again? I know its easy to keep in touch in today's world but is it always possible?It certainly requires time and work.What if I am too busy or she is too preoccupied?It can happen to anyone but still the feeling sure irks me.Once lost and then found.That is not the case always,is it?Soon another friend will fly away to another country too and the feeling shall seep again.However life goes on and like my favorite quote goes, 'Tomorrow is another day'.So waiting for a happy reunion with my 4 bosom friends after a short while and the next time hopefully as a bigger group.

I shall end by saying that I am glad to have met the smallest person with the biggest heart.Wish you all the best in life Surya.And remember,we are just a phone call or a click away. :) Will miss you.
