Things I wish I'd get paid to do!

Disclaimer- These could be potential career options- no kidding! Just that I ain't there just yet ;)

1. Zumba- The most recent activity I absolute love doing! My classes are just twice a week but I am always happy to even follow online videos and practice at home. Zumba is a fantastic workout and it's so much fun that you don't even feel like you are putting in a lot of physical effort like you do at the gym!

2. Doodling- Everyone who has known me since I was a kid knows how much I loved doodling. All through school and college my books were full of doodles. Unfotunately, I have been out of touch lately but people like this lady here- http://her.yourstory.com/rachna-prabhu-1125 make me also think, why not?

3. Story telling- I do like to think of myself as a story teller. I love reading. listening to and telling stories. Listening to my grandparents' telling my mythological stories as a child, remains one of my favorite memories with them. Reading fiction is my favorite hobby from the time I started reading until today as I love getting lost into the plot and the lives of the characters. And telling stories is one of the reasons why I started this blog. Oh and of ourse, there is this guy here who truly makes me think this can be a career option to http://storywallahs.com/

Some things I did recently that mad me experience pure joy! S01E01

Hello again!
Does this post come sooner than expected? That's the whole idea! I promised myself that I'd write more often and that is what I am going to try and do!
This post 2 has 2 objectives- 1. Write more often and sooner as long as I writing about a personal experience so that I don't forget about it and struggle to recreate it later and 2. Try and make my stories shorter. God knows I need some serious effort in editing both writing and speech!


#1 Meeting lil Miss Sunshine Anaaya
A couple of weeks back when I was in Bombay, I met my friends Parin and Saloni and their lil bundle of joy- Anaaya. I have known Parin since MBA days and Saloni and him were blessed with Anaaya around a year and a half back. This was right after our wedding and I hadn't met Anaaya and her parents all this while. I had seen pictures of her on Facebook though and had always marveled at her smile. Anaaya has the most radiant smile and is the most happy-go-lucky baby I have ever met. She undoubtedly gets these from her mommy who is an absolute sweetheart herself but to have a met such a happy baby made my day! We spent a long Sunday afternoon with her and there was no whining and wailing like other babies do. Lil Anaaya was as hospitable as one can get as she played with us and entertained us. 

The reason I am writing this post about is as I said in the title- meeting her was pure joy! I usually like babies but with a major condition- only as long as they aren't crying! But this lil cutie and her smile reminded of the innocence of childhood. How simple, carefree and untangled our lives used to be when we were kids. Our hearts and souls as pure as could be. Growing up was such sham! And yet, just spending a few hours with her were sufficient to fill my heart witch such delight than every time I think of her, I am happy all over again! Thank you lil Miss Sunshine Anaaya!
