Ok. It is quite sad to share that I will not be able to blog for few days. Indeed, I am typing with my right hand only. Tomorrow I am flying and the idea was thought to swim in the sea. An hour back..phew....I slipped and have injured my left elbow and arm. Got a small injury with a swollen arm under the crepe bandage. A big clot around my elbow. It is almost numb now. I am not suppose to strain it for few days. Still the trip is on. God knows if I can swim now as it is paining like ...no words. I am sharing all updates here. I will try to blog but not sure!
I got third place in Caribbean Kigo Kukai #53 Contest. I am happy to share this....

Few lines for my women readers
"Few lines that I wrote keeping my women readers in mind. I was bored of my curls. Just got them cut a bit for a new look (actually a younger look, lol). I read in a book "women who accept their weight, grey hair (fortunately do not have), hair volume and hormonal ups and downs are always successful, and rule the world.". At 35 , I want to follow it. Slowly accept but not to forget - I can still bike 40 kms, swim 2500 m daily and pull heavy weights. It is good to accept the changes with age and phases of life. It shows a sign of positivity. If I fit into 28 denims at 35 , I shall not strive for 26 but enjoy the 28. Like Julia Roberts said in a scene from Eat Pray and Love - " I will enjoy my slice of pizza and get a bigger denim the next day". Life is far more to offer than weight, age and inhibitions. Enjoy it, Love it and Embrace it. Be proud of being a woman and accept it that we should age gracefully "
