Pranams!

Am not new to blogging, but am picking it up with renewed vigor today.

I feel a strong need to pen my thoughts.

I need to leave notes for myself. I need words to inspire me, a few days/weeks/years from now. I need to let myself know tomorrow what I think today. I need to hold strong to what guides me everyday. I need to be stronger and wiser and I need to help myself. I am my best friend!



So what happened in the last few days? Many momentous events - meeting the most enterprising and energetic sexagenarian ever, losing someone in the family, coping with the shifts and wobbles in life, rediscovering the joys of bonding with a child and many more. And I want to record these for posterity.



An overwhelming desire has been aroused in me to gain control of (my) mind. Came across this wonderful quote in Chetan Bhagat's blog - "May you live like the lotus, at home in the muddy waters". How beautifully put. That is what I would strive to be - a lotus in the muddy waters!



My life's driving force, that Mantra, it is going to be!
