Life

Like I say - Everyday is a surprise. And that's way I love life because it has many names, new shapes, new hopes, new excitements, new obstacles to overcome, some sorrows to forget, lots of happiness and unconditional love to remember.

With all these feelings, today I am leaving my mother India behind and I am embarking on a new journey called life with my family to Singapore. I was amazed that without knowing I had spread so much of love and happiness that people actually cried during my farewell. Not just close ones but the ones who barely knew me. My farewell was so good that I can never forget. I am happy that I had touched so many lives and made so many friends for life. Some closed ones did break my heart but that was again a surprise and was welcomed too. Life is much more than what we think to hold grudge in our hearts. I have promised life that I will expand my heart so much that there is no place for hatred, grudge, unhappiness and wrong feelings or things.

I thank god for giving me a wonderful husband and a child, who are blessed with immense love, happiness and understand the meaning of life and value it too. 

Every day is a surprise!

Evening at China Town:

Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival, is one of the most eagerly anticipated occasions each year in Singapore as I have been told. This is the biggest and most significant event of the Chinese community, and it is observed by Singaporeans from all walks of life. I was lucky to witness the prep part of it.

The streets of China town were lit so well as if it was celebration of life. While walking through the cluttered eating joints I loved the aroma of food which engulfed me completely. I loved the get together at the eating joints, the long queue, people waiting for their loved ones and the laughter. The lanes were full of Chinese spices, clothes, pinwheels, paintings, shoes, bags, nail art, cosmetics, kitchen appliances, and whole lots of stuff. I enjoyed the madness. Both Chetan and I sipped on lovely and extremely chilled Thailand coconuts which was bliss.

We bought a lovely pinwheel for Atharv which you can spot in his hands. Oh! I love the crowd. People were oozing happiness and love. There was so much excitement. I just felt like it was Christmas, which is one of my favorite festival.

We sat at Clarke at late night and enjoyed the hustle bustle since it was Friday night. We could hear the live bands, the screams of crazy people who were enjoying crazy freefall swings. Atharv was very excited to watch them. We walked back to Hotel Grand Park City Hall with a smile and satisfaction on our faces.

Oh! What lovely time I spent in Sg with two lovely people: Chetan and Atharv.
