@private beach at the Sea Shells resort – Havelock.

The sea was calm – I mean really really calm. Not a wave; not a ripple. It was as if I was staring a pond rather than sitting at the sea shore — It was so calm and quiet. I wish my mind was that calm. The flood of thoughts.. all random, was crazy. But the sea…. it was calm.

With all my starting, the sea responded…. there were a few ripples. I looked straight ahead and saw nothing but a couple of mangrove trees. Thought I would see a dingy pass by in a bit which was probably what caused the ripples, or a crab or fish swimming, but there was none. I stared endlessly at the beauty lying ahead and enjoying every second.

The ripples appeared again!! This time, I stared at the sea, just around the shore….. that’s when I realized what was happening…. The tide was sneaking out!! It was time for high tide :D I have been to many places, a lot of sea shores, lived on an island for 4 years (was in Fiji) but have never ever see the sea so sneaky.

In Mumbai, high tides mean a few waves bringing the sea out — never have I seen it sneak out like this…. Wow… this was a pleasant experience. :)

I was reading this article on the discussion of strengths and weaknesses that happens in almost all interviews and it got me thinking. If I am asked what my weaknesses are, what would I say?

  1. Chocolates
  2. Procrastination :| (check my wardrobe / room out)
  3. Lack of determination (you goota see me to believe it — i have been on a diet for about 4 yrs now and have gained 15+ kgs)
  4. I do not finish the books I read
  5. I am a romantic at heart

People who know me and are reading this, please comment. Let me know what your weakness(es) is and what you think mine is. Help me know me better!!

I am listening to Vishnu Sahasranamam recited by M. S. Subhalakshmi. In a blissful state right now. Its a shame, I used to recite it when I was young and now for the life of me I can’t remember the verses. I am gonna learn the whole thing by this month end – it’s a promise to myself! :)

I am watching “Bride Wars” – it is a typical chick flick… have loved the 20 mins I have watched so far. While doing all of this, I have been thinking, what will it be to be a wedding planner? I am gonna give it a thought. Lets see how that works out?
