Have I nothing to say?

As I sit staring at the computer screen wondering what to write, some random thoughts run through my head...have I nothing to say? Have I nothing to communicate? Has writing a few words become so difficult for me? Am I suffering from writers block? Have I become so addicted to online games that I cannot sit in front of the computer unless there is some animated activity going on? What the hell is wrong with me?

Let me try and answer all these questions and try and figure out what the problem is? I do have stuff to say and do have things to tell!

Here goes... I have just put in my papers at my current job and am going to be in Melbourne this July. I will be starting my Masters in Professional Communications at Deakin University! This will be the start of a new era in my life...I will be in a completely new environment...an entirely new country! I am going through such mixed emotions currently...I am excited about the newness I am going to experience, am anxious about what the future will hold, am sad that I won't be seeing my friends and family for a long time. Its not like I haven’t stayed away from family, but it is the first time I will be moving out of the country for so long! My eldest sister and brother in law are expecting their first baby…it is due end of Jan 2008!! I am sad that I won’t be around to see her with her big belly. There is so much I will miss here…but I am sure I will be experiencing equally more exciting things in Melbourne, as I will be staying with my elder brother…like I said, I am going through mixed emotions!

I guess this is it, nothing more I can think of to write about right now. Maybe I will be posting a lot more frequently once I am in Melbourne!

BTW how many of you guys are from Melbourne and don’t mind showing me around? :-)

8 tips for first-time trekkers

"Let's go on a trek to the Himalayas!" , who knew these innocent words of my brother in law in April 2014 would land us in one of the most beautiful places on earth and give us some of the most memorable experiences of our lives a year later! Last month (May 22, 2015), he and I embarked on our first high-altitude trek in the Himalayas to Rupin Pass - 15250ft above sea level, 60+ Kms over 8 days. It was a very well organized trek by India Hikes , one of the oldest trekking companies in India. While a detailed post on our experiences is due, I thought a list (to add to the many I see on my Facebook timeline) of things to remember / do as a first-time trekker might be useful. These are based on our experiences and learning, and is by no means a conclusive guide. The Climb up to the Upper Waterfall 1. Physical Training before is an absolute must: Treks are physically demanding on the body which means you need to keep yourself in reasonably good shape before yo...

8 ways to say I love you!

A proposal for marriage is expected to be romantic, well planned, and equally well executed. Around 9 years ago, I proposed to the love of my life and it was epic (self-declared)! I have narrated the story of my day-long, themed proposal multiple times, and with 8 years of us being married, I thought for posterity sake, I should document it somewhere...so here goes! It was the September of 2010, when the planning began, and I was sure that I did not want my proposal to be a simple Hollywood style one - with a formal dinner at a fancy restaurant and then the one knee and ring proposal! That one moment would not be able to capture how I felt, so well, I came up with a theme - ‘8 ways to say I love you!’. As it suggests, I used 8 different ways to profess my love to my girlfriend of 8 years! How this unfolded, we shall find out. Before I started executing my plan, I wanted to get the permission and blessings of both our parents. So without her knowledge, I went over to her place an...

Want to change your life? Go on a trek!

With every passing year, one thinks of all the activities that they could / should have done to improve their overall fitness. I am no different, and with each passing year, as the inches around my waist grow, so does the intent to lose them! I am a National Cadet Corps 'C' certificate holder, so this would not be the first time that I would be pushing my physical limits. Those times though, seem almost like a lifetime back. "Pushing myself physically" was hence one of the reasons I agreed to go on my first-ever high altitude trek with my brother in law. Snow dunes en route to the pass Since both of us were new to trekking, we decided to go on an organized trek, and after some research we decided on Rupin Pass with India Hikes . Once again the moderate to difficult level as indicated by the organizers was an important deciding factor. Let me put on record that while I was very excited, I was also very scared of the prior physical training required - being ...
