Not My Cup Of Tea

-

I am back! Missed me? I am sure you did.

So, I failed my A-Z Challenge. 

All the while, I have been racking my brains, trying to blame something, anything, on my failure to reach the end. A part of me wanted to blame my job, but I know that's not the case. I did have time to finish 3 Korean Dramas and watch Johnny Depp and Amber Heard proceedings, so that can't be it.  

Then I thought maybe because I am going absolutely bonkers being stuck to bed due to a fractured foot. Part of it is true. I struggle to keep myself upbeat and happy, which would have come naturally to me in normal circumstances. I am usually a happy-go-lucky person. So, I think I should blame my failure on that. But then I also know it's not the first time I abandoned something: fashion designing,  music lessons, professional scriptwriting, etc.

So, why did I just stop????

The only thing I can blame it on is I, Me and Myself. Have you ever had that uncontrollable urge to do something that would just break the course/monotony/ predictability (I can't think of a better word) of what you are currently doing? You just decide to abandon the activity and try to shift your attention to something else. In the process, purposely screwing a good thing that you were already a part of. I guess that's it. That's what went wrong. I just got bored, and I had to stop and look elsewhere, something more engaging. What could be more interesting than Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's court proceedings, right?

I keep fluctuating when it comes to my interests, and it's not my cup of tea to stick to one thing for a very long time. I have this strong need to just move on to something different. 

My sisters, parents, and friends all have the same thing to say- if I start something, I should see it through to the end. This time I plan on doing exactly that. I do feel guilty about leaving this thing mid-way. I know April is over, and I know there are strong chances of me abandoning it again, but I plan to finish it. So, wish me luck. 


I am participating in Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022, and this is my post for N - Not My Cup Of Tea.

    I also believe that once started, the job should be seen through to the end. Good luck to you.

Everyday when I look into your eyes I always feel I can't love you more Every morning when I feel your warm hug I know you are the man I would die for And when my skin burns with your touch I realize its your soft touch that allures Every kiss of yours is a promise Words that come out of your mouth are hard to ignore Every single minute without you is torture remember "you'll be always around" you swore Would give anything to be in your arms Would present you with all the kisses I have in store.

My Platinum Day of Love

Aren't arranged marriages just beautiful? Your parents happily propose a boy on your behalf and all you have to do is to look pretty and pretend that all that is laid on the table was made by you. Vikas and I had an arranged marriage. The first month of our marriage was all about holiday (I hate the word honeymoon) awkward moments, talking softly and putting our best foot forward. Soon after the holidays we shifted in our new house. My life seemed to have started fresh altogether. Not only marriage and my husband were new to me but also the city and its people (I am from Kolkata and Vikas worked in Mumbai). People in Mumbai are very detached; most of them had no idea about the residents of their building. Kolkata was very different, we even knew our neighbors' relatives. Mumbai was fast Kolkata's slow pace had its own charm. I really missed being in Kolkata especially road side food ghugni & puchke (Gol Gappe). Vikas would always take me to those fine dining r...

Who needs prince charming??? ;)

Every girl wants a Prince Charming.... but at times I wonder......Will a Prince Charming go out in the rain with me, with no umbrella??? Will he wake up in the morning with tussled hair...disheveled look and still look extremely sexy and huggable?? Will he go out and buy vegetables and even bargain?? I guess not. When I imagine a Prince Charming, he’s a guy who would prefer broccoli and salads over paratha or pizza, who's impeccably dressed almost 24*7...properly combed and not a single hair out of place, even when he's about to hit the bed ..Starched white button-down shirt...shoes shining that could even bring mirrors to shame... something on d lines of Ken...our very own Barbie's boyfriend. When I meet such people all I want is to mess up their hair a little..force them into having french fries or burger make them look and feel a little more human. I read it somewhere a house should be clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be comfortable. I thin...
