The past four or five months that I spent in hibernation was a rediscovering period for me.
First I rediscovered my long forgotten passion of reading.. My long commute to work and back was now converted to reading time as I discovered the joys of audio books.
For those of you looking to read something that was as insightful as Agatha Christie or as whimsical as PG Wodehouse, you might want to try AlexanderMcCall Smith.. his character Mma Ramotze can give Miss Marple a run for her money.
So while I went back to reading (read listening to) books , I started wondering which was the other activity that I was missing so much. Dance..I had left BharatNatyam over 7 years ago and then even though i had countless opportunities to start again, I never did.. So finally I googled for a teacher and went back to re discovering bharatnatyam.. in the process I also discovered countless muscles in my body that I didn't know ever existed. The first class completed.. and i am all agog for the next one.
With these aching muscles.. I went for a pedicure and discovered the pleasures of strong arms massaging my tired legs , applying a masque that made those aches go away..All my toes look pretty now , Red and shiny and I love showing them off in my peep toes. I vowed since then to pamper myself with a pedicure every month.. even if it left a tiny hole in my pocket.
If you were wondering where I had been and why I hadn't been writing.. now you know..
Adios...
