I was having a conversation with one of my friends today and she popped this question,
"If you had a choice between a great career and marrying the love of your life, what would you choose?"
This question kept haunting and unfortunately I have no answer.
But, if this question was tweaked,
"If you had a choice between career and marriage, what would you choose"?
This question I can easily choose.
But how would one choose from the above choice - Love or Career? I would personally choose both, because a career is something we strive for and love is essential in the marriage.
Now my answer would be, to choose someone with whom I can grow my career.
Think it over!!
A lot of times, we have had this discussion - Does First Love Ever Fade? There is something about first love that doesn't fade and some agree and some of them don't. But this question has always intrigued me. I have had conversations revolving around this topic a lot of times with my friends, cousins and family; and each time I get different opinions, views, thoughts and experiences on it. the fascination still continues. Some of them tell me, first love never fades because they have never been able to forget it. Some have married their first love and I totally applaud such people. Some of them are not married but haven't been able to forget. Whatever be the case, in most cases, first love never fades. If that love has faded, not too sure what it was, but something to ponder over sometime.
After a long long wait, I finally watched URI today. Where do I even begin to describe this epic movie. Everything about it was spectacular. The Indian Armed Forces - A big Salute to them. We are safe because of them.
What do I even say about Vicky Kaushal's acting - Hats Off. Such a fine actor. So, if anyone has missed watching this movie, please go and watch. It is not to be missed.
Finally - How's the Josh?? 100% after watching this movie.

6 yards has always been one of my favorites. I draped a sari for the first time in class 10 for my graduation at Cotton's. I fell in love with this beautiful attire then. Since then I have never missed an opportunity to drape a sari. I can even remember all the times I have worn it and here is the list,
1. Class 10 Graduation
2. Class 11 Sari Day
3. Class 12 Sari Day
4. 3 times in my Engineering College
5. Every opportunity at work (Mostly Sari Days during festival times)
6. Friends Weddings
7. Family Functions
My most fav type of Sari is undoubtedly Kanjivaram. I am a South Indian, hence my immense love for these type of sarees. I do not like Cotton, Chiffon and Georgette material sarees. I enjoy wearing Fancy sarees. Makes me feel so graceful. Recently, I picked up 4 sarees and now on the look out for opportunities to drape this six yards of pure grace.
This book review is on Tattered by Devney Perry.
This is the first time I am reading this author's book. It turned out to be a very nice read. The story is about Thea Landry and Logan Kendrick. It is Lark Cove #1. Years later when Logan Kendrick waltz back into her and finds out he is father, the story notches up a few levels. It revolves around them .Will they be together or drift away is what you have find out about.
Recommendation: Medium-High
Rating : 3.8/5
Overall, a nice racy read.
I was travelling last week and for a change I did not carry a book to read, because I wanted to read on my phone. I started reading this book titled - Tattered by Devney Perry. I was so hooked onto this book that I finished reading this book in the train.
It's not about how we read, it is the book that should be engrossing that the reader finds it hard to put it. The entire train journey my nose was buried in this book and surprisingly I liked it.
More to follow on my next blog, where I will post the review of this book.
I have a habit of checking my LinkedIn account every single day. I try to repost or like a few messages put up, an attempt to be active. Today, while I was scrolling, I found a very interesting video titles Life Sucks! Out of sheer curiosity, I open the video and I must say those two minutes were a real eye opener. The lady in the video was saying that it is alright to admit life isn't easy always.
This got me thinking. All our lives keep changing and it is not meant to be the same. We have our highs and lows. But how to deal with it is the question. Some of us keep it all shut inside, some of us pretend to the world that all is fine and dandy. While some of us try to talk with our near and dear ones. It helps to talk it out amongst dear friends, supportive family and other close ones. It lessens the burden from within. We must not forget that nothing is meant to last forever and whatever maybe the situation, we will learn to deal with it better. And, it is perfectly fine if life is not ok and we are struggling. It will get better!
I am a life long reader. That can never change. Most of my friends are curious as to what platforms I read on. So here is this blog dedicated to them.
My modes of reading include,
* A physical copy of a book
* My Kindle
* My I-Pad
* Of course, my Phone
*Not to forget Laptop
There are a lot of apps, both paid and free, from which books can be obtained. The horizon is widening and there are a gazillion ways to read, if one wants to read. Having said this, I know, nothing can beat a physical copy. But I am someone who can read a book on any platform.
I Love Reading!
There is something about having conversations in a coffee shop. I absolutely enjoy having long conversations with my buddies in a coffee shop, even though I am not a coffee lover. The first time, I went into a Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) was during my Engineering days. A friends and me used to sit at the coffee shop and have conversations about a dozen topics. From books, movies, music, art to new restaurants, everything is discussed in depth. The strongest connections have always happened in these coffee shops. Most of my closest friends even today catch up for mindless ramblings in a coffee shop. Nothing can beat this friendly feeling. Even today I enjoy these long conversations.
I met a friend of mine yesterday in a coffee shop and I must say, the feeling is the same. My love for these is never going to change.
A Conversation over a cup of no-coffee is just the best form to catch up with my friends.
Do any of you like conversations over coffee or no-coffee?
