I need reaction to action; Just a word that would thrill me

We’re back ! I just loaded Windows Live Writer at my work-studio and felt a strange sense of pleasure, a feeling of homecoming ? Though, I had to request WordPress for a password reminder

It’s been more than a year since I’ve quit blogging and some things have changed, and a whole bunch have not.

I’m still married (rolling eyes + hallelujah), RD and I still live in the same apartment, I still run my rather ‘luck’-less studio while RD battles the recession blues whilst working at least outwardly like a CEO and getting paid
like an RD. I stopped blogging, spending my online time more productively by looking at random photos on Facebook, grimacing at the sycophant-like photo comments and then making some myself. And, of course doing other useful things like following up on Rakhi Sawant’s Swayamvar and educating myself on how Asin is fitting into Bollywood

There have been days I cooked like a gourmet chef and weeks where I fed
RD nothing but PBJ sandwiches. Dinners in bed, watching FRIENDS, eating pasta and Italian potatoes, an amenable silence that married couples relish as opposed to accusations of ‘ carelessness’ or ‘ too much nagging’.

Week-ends where our apartment was filled with the chatter of friends, family, card-sessions, home-made signature sandwiches, baked beans dip, cigarette smoke and alcohol-laced laughter. We were gifted a ‘hookah’ and the delicate smell of water-melon sheesha would waft around lazy Friday evenings and excited conversations.

There have been more reclusive week-ends where I watched TV, worked out or sulked after an RD-row. Bearable work-days when something exciting loomed in the offing and un-bearable ones where frustration and disappointment overcame the better of me. Like I mentioned, some things have changed and whole bunch have not.

I read a lot. Some worth mentioning. Some not. Jackie Collins and Mills & Boon Sophie Kinsella, Jeffrey Archer, Tarla Dalal and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.
I stopped reading/buying Cosmopolitan. Too many ads. Too much Trash. Thank you very much but I cannot subscribe to a magazine that believes that a
Cosmo girl’s Winter-Must-Have list must include Ferragamo boots worth
Rs 1.6 lakhs. Instead, I switched to People, where I love the picture section, celebrities wearing Ferragamo boots. Guess they still subscribe to Cosmo. Well, the latest People is all about wearing Swapnil Shinde. At least, they’re not insisting that his creation is a must-have on a Cosmo’ girl’s  IT list. 

As the days pass, I realize that more things in life depend on your reactions than your actions. Speaking of both, here’s rooting for a lot more action on this blog. And, naturally, your reactions:)
