If I were having coffee with you !

-
Thanks to shilpa garg  and her blog from whom I have borrowed this idea of 'If I were having coffee with you'.. if not for this I might not have anything to write here and this place would  slowly but surely be dying down...

It's been a  while, so let's start the coffee conversations...

1) If I were having coffee with you I would tell you how I am all restless now a days..may be it's the many problems at work place ..but there is something off.. it is.

2) while savouring the coffee I would tell you how I have enrolled my self to not one but two online courses on Udemy, please do check out this website as it has great online courses on variety of subjects, right from linear equations to creative writing...

3) I would also tell you that though  I have enrolled but unlike the first course which I completed in record time and got the certification also, these two courses have been gathering dust for some time  in my account, it has got something to do with my restlessness.. I just can't pinpoint the reason.

4) To be honest I am missing the work pressure , the pressure to deliver and complete tasks and projects and that is exactly why I started these courses so that I would have some goals to work towards but somehow I am just not able to bring my self to get cracking on it...

5) Also I would tell you how I am hooked on to 'amazon prime' nowadays.  I have been watching English movies back to back and to my own surprise I am quite liking it... surprise because I was never a fan of English music and movies.  Even during my teens and college years when my entire gang was into English movies, I somehow stayed away.. so I think I  am having a delayed teenage bout right now!! :)

6) Towards the end of our conversation I would tell you that I got two short stories published on juggernaut,  and I am pretty happy about it....yayy!! 

7) Before we sign off and fix a day for the next coffee date let me tell you that I am in awe of the way social media has been drowning all of us with it's variety and options but one thing which really upsets me is how all the bloggers who were once regular and  were a treat to read have just disappeared and are on Instagram and Fb..it's all good but Blogging had it's own charm...don't you agree??

8) This coffee date won't be complete if I don't tell you that I really do not know how long I would be able to keep this blog  going.. but I am sure I would try my best to keep this place alive and kicking as long as possible. 

 I hope you liked the coffee though !

    Well Well Well.. I should have stepped in here a long ago.

    That's a whole lot happening on your side Rekha. So happy for you for the good things coming your way - like the story publishing. thats Wonderful. See the writer in you is out. You just have to get it going strong.

    how do i get to read your stories? I really want to.

    and no question of how long you can maintain this blog. you sing praises about bloggers and blogging and suddenly say that you wonder how you can manage this space. isnt that contradicting?

    you stop the day you dont have even a single reader on your blog space. but if there is one soul coming to your space looking for whats happening with you, and wants to read what you write, you got to hold on this precious place. What do you say?

    Feels so good to read your posts. truly rekha.

    XOXO

Nature - My childhood friend

-
This is not a work of fiction, but it seems so, even to me who is the one who has experienced it all.  My memory of all that is being written here seems to have happened in some other life time, but all of it happened when I was 4 or 5 years old, but still the pictures are so vivid and so real in my mind like I am watching a techni colour HD movie or as if I am still there when I am writing it all down.  I say it is not fiction because of the tremendous  nature’s bounty and beauty and companionship that I experienced at that time  seems so unreal even to me. Let me start with the morning, yes, so the morning started with me the 5 year old running from bed straight to the verandah and sitting on the steps of the verandah (of my house which was in a small town of Kerala), the steps leading to the courtyard, it looking all clean  with fresh marks of broom which looked like half circles made over and over again on the brown earth. Sitting on the steps I looked straight at my fri

In search of the prefect 'Yeast'..... post no. 2

-
Apart from the blogathon that I have jumped into there is another very important issue (!) which has been circling inside my head for long and hold your breath, it is about getting hold of a good yeast (!!) So that I can venture into bread baking..which I had been longing to do  for so long.   This search for a good yeast has been going on for so long that I have tried at least 4 to 5 types of yeast till now, I brought a pack from kerala store in Delhi,  then when I went to Kerala I brought two packs from a bakery thinking that the kind of stuff they have at their shop, definitely they must be selling  good yeast and was excited about trying it out.. then I brought packs from different bakeries in  Delhi.. to cut a long story short... none.. yes... NONE of the yeast ever worked.  During this Diwali I wanted to bake cinnamon rolls  and started imagining the joy of my children when they will be eating the perfect, melt in mouth cinnamon rolls made by their great Mom … but a
