Vacation ...

I am off for vacation for the next 9 days. I am flying to a country from we will cruise to another, and will stop at two different islands before I return to the starting point.

I love sea. I have packed my snorkeling kit as well. Time to get into my swimwear and swim in the sea. I have also packed my scuba fins to swim faster. I know I will hardly sleep when I will be on the cruise. I don't want to miss a day that starts from rising sun to the stars in the sky. It will be only yoga to swimming, and then gymming. Also other activities of fun..;)

I have been doing 25 kms for the last 3 months. Back to 49.4 kgs so I feel lighter to swim in the sea. Worked on my shoulders and arms.

I am carrying two books to finish before I return. I just finished The Notebook, and I cried like a teenager while reading it. It left me touched. I am totally in love with the character Noah.

I will post some good pictures on my blog under the label - 'Travel Chapters'.

I have scheduled some posts for my official FB author page, and this blog. They will be published on the set dates for my readers.

My page - 'Pyaar Se Pyaar Ho Gaya' was launched recently. I am happy I have 89 likes now. This page is very special to me. I have been writing these pieces of writing for the last so many years.

Happy Weekend!

Ganesha......

The day comes to an end but it was such a wonderful day - birthday of Lord Ganesha. My favourite God.... <3.

The name 'Ganesh' reminds me of so many things, and whew....nothing....more.

I read few good articles. I was watching 'The Holiday' - a famous romantic comedy. I felt to Google to plan a solo vacation....lol!

This is amazing. I was watching 'The Holiday' (famous romantic comedy featuring Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz). I felt like I want a solo vacation to a place where people speak only French!!

Lol, I do not know what all about French but have heard indeed have been to Paris in 2005 - more than perfumes and museums...maybe more than French men and bottle of wine....there is more to explore about French as a language.

I googled schools around my residence but hardly any good ones to offer super intensive course to help me grab few significant words and sentences to help me. I do not want to master but I want to be a part of the crowd - if I ever go to a place where people speak only French.

Ofcourse, no plans of vacation but I come across this amazing portal  to learn different languages - if you want to travel and be a part of the world. I completed my first assessment. Italian was surely easy for me. But I am having fun learning this one....

Salut to enchantee/.....I picked up quite few words.....at least I can introduce myself!!

Then I started watching English Vinglish...another amazing movie. Strange - it shows an amazing story of a home maker who doesn't get due respect by Indian men but does make a place in New York. I like a dialogue by Sri devi where she tells - 'at a certain age you don't want love but you expect respect for yourself!'

I was surprised when the same man behaves nicely  to a foreign national female but weirdly to an Indian national of her own country. Pity!! I have faced this in my own life so it's really hurtful.

But Lord Ganesha leaves me with a smile to start another journey.

Good night!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to my all readers. I love all of you. If I look back and revisit my last hospital stay in Dec 2014 - i promised myself to be more loveable to myself. I promised myself to live the way I want. It is good to be good but foolish to be extremely good to others. Life taught me many lessons but I have learnt too late. But as we say - it is never too late to love.

Yes this day I announce I will soon launch my label of Online Art Studio. My first three paintings are sold and now in Dallas. My another two paintings are ordered by clients. Once I move to my new house with my family - I will start making my new work. I guess I will lot more busy in new home.

I am enjoying the pace of life. Work is my first love. And I am happy as my husband loves me for my work. I feel blessed!

Love your love and support them as that's all you can do in love. Thank you to all of you for keeping me involved in writing and thinking. My life has really changed in last 6 years -the day I resigned from corporate world. At that time people knew my company and my process BUT today they know me. My journey is fulfilled!

Love
Archana
