Finally!! Back to College!


'Distance makes the heart grow fonder.' Indeed! Being on an outstation audit, I missed my college.
After the long vacations,
( 'official' vacations. Otherwise every day has been like a vacation for me in all four years of junior college and my B.Com degree course)
the college reopened when I was still at the audit place.
For the first and so to say, the last time, ( I will be a graduate by the end of this year! Unbelievable but true!) I missed the first day of college. Whatever be my attendence record for the rest of the year, I have always been sincere enough to 'attend' this day of the year.
 This year I missed it.
Finally a week now and I am going to the college tomorrow. I never had thought even in my weirdest dreams that I would miss my college as much as I did in the past whole week.
I am so excited to go and attend those lectures!
Wait.
Now this is a hyperbole.
Okay.
Not 'attend' but at least go and meet people. Regardless my will, I WILL have to ATTEND lectures for the sake of attendance. But that is altogether a different story!
Wow!
Finally!
College!
Tomorrow!!


P.S. My heart has grown 'fonder' for just a temporary time span. This feeling is subject to the law of Diminishing Marginal Utility. So it is absolutely void to use the above post to compel me to sacrifice my sleep for the '1st lecture' subsequently.  ;p ;) :D

Lovely family dinners !


Eating alone or in the office canteen is so boring. I miss family dinners back home! Close your eyes and picture a family dinner. The husband is not a project manager anymore, nor is the wife a banker. The children are just children. When the family sits at the dinner table, they are just father, mother and kids. Dinner time with family is truly the time to connect.  


More than anything else, the emotions that emerge from the dining table are real. I always find something therapeutic in this moment. Something comforting as well as familiar. As we sit around our dinner table, telling our stories and asking about the day…I soak in the happiness. I ooze joy. I feel inspired. These moments make up who I am.We share so much more than food in that kitchen nook.
Family meals are always so precious !
