Crazy day – October 12, 2012
Had a crazy day today. Started this morning when my alarm went off at 5:30 am for my jog session. After lazing around for another two minutes in bed, giving a cuddle to my son (don’t ask me how he got there but every night he does manage to) I got up, determined to go… {Read More}

“How are you doing?”
Last night was quite a memorable night for me as after a very long hiatus I had gone out partying with my all my cousins. It took a lot of planning and co-ordination specially since there are so many of us and now all married with spouses and kids to worry about. In fact it… {Read More}

The NO joy of walking
