Pause..play...forward

That's what was happening in my life right now...pause...and play, pause and play ...

Savoring the moments of leisure, enjoying that cuppa with my sister in the cool early morning breeze, when the kid brigade are in dreamland, leaving their mothers to catch up... getting fattened up with all that love...but now, that the vacation is officially over, it seems the weeks have zipped past...

It's now time to leave and however long i stay, it's never enough...There is always something you have left undone, there is always something more to be said, there is that urge to freeze a few moments because they are so precious...

The bloggies in Bangalore have decided to meet too...after i leave...xh and gazal - you are on my hitlist right now... :D. Seriously though, that was a great initiative by you guys and hope you have a great time matching the faces to the thoughts.

I did meet Prats, Ziah and Madhumita. It was wonderful meeting them finally because i've been interacting with them for a while and i love reading their blogs so much. I wish i could have met the other bloggers i spoke to, but in bangalore, my time is never my own...and of course the rest of the world works when i am free...:)

Sigh ...now back to the packing...i wish i could turn the clock back by a few days, before we get back to the routine of packed lunches and strained vocal cords...

Nice to hear that you had a great time here. Have a nice, safe trip!
Bangalore's been drizzling and moody since a week, now I know the reason:) The lioness and her cubs are being missed as they have flown back after rainbowing b'lore's skyline:)

I feel more strongly every week that the schooling system got it right - Work half for 8-9 months and then relax for 3-4 month hehe.

But seriously everyone deserves a break especially if life is routine. Glad you enjoyed yours even though it ended up seeming shorter than you would have liked.
