excuse me

It’s been a crazy month. Working late nights and weekends, drifting back to sleep while brushing my teeth,eating breakfasts while hopping into my jeans…threatening a sleepy Saif of dire consequences if he doesn’t get me to Bart station on time, having processed food for lunch…finding no time to pursue any hobbies , calling my mom at odd hours to catch up on family gossip, not returning calls to close friends, whining about my achy-breaky back to anyone who does manage to catch me on my cell…spraining my ankle and limping for a week, having nightmares about doing something stupid in front of my colleagues; trying to comprehend Aussie, British and American accents; expending effort on not using words/phrases like “anna…hogli bidu”, “come re…”, “chalo..then” with my American counterparts…and things like that!

This past month…I have been running around. Running to make it on time, running to keep up and anybody who knows me knows how I hate running! I have watched the grand total of one movie this whole month, heard Joshua Kadison’s “Jesse” a million times thanks to Pandora and just about managed to complete a book “East wind, west wind”, a book which would have taken me a day to finish!

Don’t get me wrong….I thoroughly enjoy my new job. It’s challenging, invigorating and gives me an adrenalin rush every day. But my lazy soul fondly remembers the days past spent in sweet self-indulgence. My brain creaks like an old machine suddenly put into use.

I long for the days when I spent a whole morning chasing some elusive thought. But most of all I missed blogging. I would see so many interesting things…but couldn’t find the time or energy to write it.

But hopefully my schedule will ease up a bit and I can get back to writing about inane things.In the end, this post is a long winded excuse list for being absent for so long. I owe an apology to my readers(even though they are few and far between) ,to myself for being away from something I love so much but most of all to the thoughts which got lost in the hustle-bustle of everyday living.
