~Strings Attached~

With just a few days past Christmas and New Year around the corner, everybody is busy jotting down their so-called 'New-Year Resolutions'. But what is all this hype about? Do we really keep a track of them? Or do they become just another to-do list pinned up on the soft board of your room? Well, as per me, I'm too lazy to think of any resolutions. Left behind accomplishing them!! :D Frankly there isn't a tad excitement about new year except that I'll have to replace a 'zero' with 'one' as I'll write the date next year. That'll be the only change and the only difference. :) And I think this will be the last time I'll be catching up with my blog this year until and unless I have got something really exciting to pen down.



Anyway, so as per the title of the post this time, let me get onto the point. With winters vacations on and everyone lazing around miles away from college, I've got no plans for any vacation. And it's good to be home, for a change. With most of my friends chilling around and enjoying thoroughly at their respective vacation spots, spread over the entire India, it's awesome to be in touch with them. The constant calls and texts from them give me the feeling that they still remember me wherever they are. A cliché thing but still it is such a feel-good factor to experience the strings of attachment that we've amongst us.



Bangalore, Mumbai and Goa are the three places that I've visited this winter over the phone! :D My day dawned with the call from my best friend in Bangalore explaining me about the serene ambiance of the Art Of Living Ashram and the activities going on there. The seva done and the hours spent on meditation and yoga. Two hours later, another call from Goa spiced up my day, virtually taking me there to the unbeatable beaches and the colourful place full of party air. Then my friend explained of the French conversation that she had with the French people there. And I tell you! Her excitement was flabbergasting. This energy took a higher flight with the inclusion of wine that her Dad gifted her there. :)  Few hours later, I was in Mumbai, stuck up in the traffic, making my way back home. Not grumbling for the time the car was taking to move slowly and gradually rather happy to be the part of  bole toh Mumbaikar hush-rush!

WOW. Feels so good to travel to so many places! :p Apart from travelling, I've been able to catch up with my reading. With weather being what I totally love, I finished with 'A Thousand Splendid Suns', now I'm onto 'The Alchemist'. :)  Aren't the holidays fun? :)
