This was a wonderful space to hang out in and share our thoughts! But now we've all moved on and simply left our memories behind :-) ...

These are few of my favorite "times" (Ishita)

I mentioned it in my comment in Amit’s post that my fav time would ideally be mid morning! Yes it’s when I am alone and free do what I please at my own pace and in my own space … But, when I sit down to give it a serious thought, my fav time is not a certain time of the day but rather made up by moments in a day which could come up at any random time :)

What’s that you ask? Simple! It’s made up by moments when Vedant gets all cute and cuddly with me, w
hen he’s being indulgent and the times when he says the funniest things. These happen spontaneously and can make me smile just like that!

Nowadays there’s yet another feeling and that’s when I feel the lil one move in me (not kicking yet but more like a fluttering feeling...sometimes a like a nudge :P). It’s a familiar feeling that I’d forgotten in the past many years and one that has me as excited each time as I was the first time I felt it!

It’s also in time spent with R when we’re simply talking about stuff and watching a show we like or munching on our fav snack along with our fav cup of tea!

Of course, when friends drop by and time spent with them chit chatting, sharing a meal and better still when they stay over :) … more the merrier!

And having our extended family visit us!

I guess people, occasions matter to me more because I spend a lot of time by myself at home and unlike others who lead a hectic working life, I don’t crave solitude. I get a fair share of that after all!

But a few months more and I will be back to a hectic schedule…back to sleepless nights…and days!! And a long wait to a regular, monotonous schedule!

So I guess till then, I’m gonna savour every moment of my “alone” time once R and V leave for work and school respectively… :) … writing random posts, surfing good ol blogs, watching my fav shows on TV, reading a book, munching on snacks, sipping my cup of milk, playing “spider solitaire” or “scrabble”….chatting with friends online or on the phone… *sigh*…time flies right? :)

  1. i guess these are the little things in life that brings the most happiness. some people yearn for this but never have the time for it.

  5. Hi,Ishi-that was a lovely recap of your favorite times...yes,when I think of non-weekdays and holidays,I guess even I would have other times which can be termed 'favorite',besides the morning ones.In fact, when I think of holidays I've spent in Delhi/Ajmer, I'd say the whole day used to be a 'favorite time':)

  13. Hi,Ishi-your suggestion is well-taken..but,then,I've been planning that since 2002. What happens is,the leave I get is usually just 3-4 weeks,and that time goes in the usual works you have to do when you return to your hometown.We did go once to Matheran,and,that was one memorable place.(Wouldn't mind retiring there,someday!Open up a curio shop or something..at least there's no pollution,except for horses letting off,err,steam!!)
