Will I ever get a chance..??

Sitting in a coffee shop in London this morning.. I was wondering… How nice it would be to take a good 3-6 months break from work.. Wake up slightly later than normal every morning..
Walk to the local café to have a nice hot cappuccino…not having to worry about work, bosses, exams, life in general etc… Then may be go for a stroll in the park, do some exercise.. Enjoy the British Summer…feel the sunshine on your face…

Pursue my hobbies.. like learn painting, or may be do something that I have never done.. Like learn some sort of new dance form.. may be do something creative..

Since ever I finished my Final year degree.. I have never been able to do this… I have worked all the time since ever… the only time I had some sort of break was while I was switching jobs.. and that sometimes cannot be relaxing as one is more worried as to how its going to be join a new company.. Make new colleagues etc etc… I have been continuously working for the last 6 years…!

Sigh… will I ever be able to do it.. Will I ever be able to take the kind of break I dream of… will I ever get to do what I want to do….?

Tale of Boots!

From the time I watched the song ‘Yaye Re, Yay Re, Zor Laga ke naache Re’ in the movie Rangeela, I wanted to buy knee length black boots. At that time I was in school and all I could is dream about it. And moreover, In Bangalore, it would be really difficult to find knee length boots and also it would be very expensive if I were to find it.

All through my college life, never felt the need for boots. Most of my college life was spent wearing a pair of Reebok sneakers that my brother got me from his very first trip abroad. As I was a tomboy of the first order, most of my college life was spent with a few pairs of jeans, T-shirts and sneakers. I used to wear Salwar Kameez once in a bluemoon, when most of my jeans are being washed.

After I started working, since the organisation I started my career was an American multinational.. and they did not want us to dress formal or anything like that.. so did not bother buying anything fancy.

Then I came to London. I used to be amazed at people’s dress sense here in a good way. Some of them look so smart and the dream came back of owing a pair of smart looking boots. J
I finally managed to buy a beautiful pair of black boots a few days before christmas and I am really thrilled about them. They are perfect for the weather, they are comfortable and keep me warm.. What more can you ask. I also got another pair of cheap boots from Brussels, which is also extremely comfortable. I have been wearing my boots everywhere now.. and I am loving it.
