Last 2 months have been
pretty crappy and rough. Sleepless nights with cluttered thoughts have been a
trend that I have not been able to break out of it despite several attempts.
Tonight, I try very hard to focus on some of the good parts of these past 2
months. And it pretty much boils down to books. Especially the two children’s
books I picked up during an unplanned Barnes & Nobel visitANAGHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14816537340308366569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037548210655806693.post-3016071662175419162014-01-05T16:20:00.001+05:302014-01-06T01:22:50.427+05:302013 - You were awesome!!
2013 was amazing - as amazing as it could get. I started the year all bright
eyed hoping for things to work, little did I know it was going to be all that and much more.
Completely unplanned, unexpected and to my great pleasure, the year kicked off in India with the best of my friends and family. Till 2nd Dec 2012, I was getting ready for a mellow rest of Dec in Boston and suddenly ANAGHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14816537340308366569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037548210655806693.post-50435209285703353622013-08-01T10:56:00.000+05:302013-08-01T11:00:21.148+05:30Be a Hero
We all worship heroes, we all have our personal heroes, we love them, we worship them and secretly we all want to be them - we want to be our own HERO!! No football-lover gets a chance to compete with their football idols and no hockey player has skated with the great names of hockey but as a runner, one has the privilege to run with these everyday heroes who have risen to a challengeANAGHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14816537340308366569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037548210655806693.post-58455849186815307322013-06-25T23:45:00.002+05:302013-06-27T03:28:40.082+05:30Commencement
It's strange in a way and in other makes perfect sense that the Graduation day (last day in School) ceremony is called Commencement - a beginning. But the more I thought about it, the less strange it seemed and made more and more sense. The day was indeed a commencement; commencement of a new journey and a new career.

Patriots' day is one of the best days to be in Boston. Today was no exception until.. until the horrific and shameful act brought the race to a standstill. The city might have stopped for a brief moment to soak in what happened but Boston keeps running. Nothing can kill the sprit of Marathons or of Boston.

Pune has been trending on Twitter for the last 2 days. It has to do a great deal with David Guetta. Frankly, I feel he is overrated. Anyway, it made me think of Pune and what I miss most about the place...
