For seashells....

okay... I wanted to wait for this one... but I could not. The moment I saw this I was reminded of you [:P] and so I had to put it up

:)

It’s been a long break since I wrote something……

Was hoping that posting photographs would be enough, but then that’s not always possible is it? I feel like I am bursting with words and that I have so much to say but when I open my mouth I really have nothing to say.

This morning I really dint feel like coming to office but then I forced my self to. Now that I am here I realize that amount of work that has to be completed. Not that it’s a lot of work, but if I keep it pending it will pile up and then will drive me up the wall. Now that have all the work sorted out I feel like posting an entry so here I am busily tapping away on the key board!

So… as previously stated in my earlier post, I went for a training program in Mumbai. Now I will not divulge the details coz it then dilutes the interest of any person who is even remotely ready to attend a workshop of this kind. Also, it will be difficult for me to explain the procedure as it is quite abstract.

Apart from exploring my own feelings, I met some wonderful people and have made some great acquaintances. Each and every person taught me something. M has been through so much and yet she knows how to appreciate all the good things I her life and no matter what she goes through, she stays strong, V lives her life with so much dignity, I don’t think there was a single person out there who dint respect her. She is so content with her life and the people she shares her life with. D simply courageous was not afraid of saying what she wanted to say, R on the other hand is always smiling, and might I just add she is very pretty when she smiles. S had the most amazing personality, his eyes were full of laughter and hugging him made me feel like I was hugging a panda ;) Then there was SAT, he dint give up trying and he tried till he succeeded. Su and T (now blessed with another girl in his life – congratulations!!!) the way they go on with their daily life doing what is necessary, and the respect they have for the women in their lives is purely commendable. Dee was the craziest of the lot. Simply crazy, and when he would come up with his jokes he would have all of us splits, literally rolling over the floor. B just took all the negativity in his life and simple turned it into positive energy and a source of motivation to do better in life. And my favorite A, there is no one else I felt for more and his discomfort made me sad, but then when he hugged me in the end I felt like everything will be all right for all of us. I know that you do a great job and you find strength for it within yourself and I can only applaud as you go about your life. Last but not the least, SK and his ability to mold words into music J

I don’t know how much of what I saw I can implement in my life but then it’s a lot to absorb. I was able to face my worst fears and actually say them out loud!!! That without a doubt was a Herculean task. And it’s only because these people were willing to stand by my side and give me strength. (Absolute strangers who were willing to accept me for who I am without any judgment attached – it’s a luxury I could never experience – and now a treasure I will never forget) Even as I am writing this I can remember the last day of the workshop. I remember their smiling faces. I don’t think I can ever forget them.
