Yet another saturday..... with IMM :)

A friend called at 10:30 PM..... asking how was your day? The question got me wondering.... really how was my day today !!
It was another wonderful day with IMM.... I, Me and Myself....
IMM slept till 11:00 AM.... got up thinking today should be a all fruit day.... gotta eat fruits through-out the day.... but the stomach reminded that it dint get dinner last night..... ohh yes I said !
How about not being lazy and doing some cooking.... over a cup of bournvita.... IMM made some Indian style pasta recipe.... not that great.... but can get my fill for the day (not night) !!
Now what next..... TV is on and so is Computer..... books are lying around waiting to be read.... cloths are lying in a corner waiting to be washed.... and utensils are waiting to be cleaned for a week now !
That gets me going.... to start with cleaning of some utensils.... followed by cooking while yahoo chatting with cousin..... I wonder what he has been doing so far....
Watched TV - Anaconda... The Snake..... checking all my email boxes.... now what next... take bath..... ohh no.... too lazy to get off the couch..... so some more FreeCell card game on the computer..... no drive really to win.... and too many losses.... so I lost interest in the game too....
Then a call from an old pal..... missed the first one.... thought it must be him.... but could not get a clue for the cell showed "Private Number".... kept guessing and then he called again.... it is always a delight to talk to him..... had a good laugh at his casual comments on certain serious matters of life.... gosh.... haven't really had a good laugh in months together.... am I disconnected with myself.... have I been afraid to connect with myself... I thought to myself.
Well its the work that keeps me so busy.... gosh... I haven't had a talk with IMM.... but this stay is allowing me to be with myself.... have not met a single soul today..... am I isolating myself from the world?
Some more thinking by the couch potato that I had become.... could the drinking really cause problem to my femininity.... aha.... nothing doing.... how does it matter.... have fun !
IMM is worrying.... oh God... no exercise for over a month now... suddenly the slightly visible flab become more conspicuous.... I starting feeling those restricting my movements.... no way.... I must start a regular routine.... another resolution..... that goes away once I am in the bed.... its too difficult to get off and start the work out....
Ohh..... its evening already.... have to take bath.... and get out of this small choking room..... hey couch potato... get yourself a coffee.... oh yes.... a coffee ! The coffee gave a kick and set IMM in motion... quick bath..... after separating the cloths to be washed.... ohh God... when am I going to get this laundry done..... a resolution.... come what may I will do it today (tonight) !
Well.... got all dressed up..... another visit to the Mall... should I go or not.... ohh yes... I need to search that The Limited shop I have been looking for.... needed to shop some latest formal wear... so turned the car to the Mall instead of the Indian grocery store... ohh God... hope dont end up spending too much... another resolution - will just look for the shop and check out the stuff... purchase will be next month... once I get the salary !
Another casual drive on the quiet city roads.... what greenery besides the roads... feels like IMM is driving through the woods..... and Delilah gives the company on car radio ! I love her show.
So finally found The Limited shop.... they have good stuff in there... what to buy and what not to buy.... got a card done... upon learning about 10% discount... decided to buy some stuff.... blew about 300 bucks.... God.... IMM is extravagant.... too extravagant.... just 2 weeks in this place... already blew about a grand !
Went looking for shoes to match the dress I bought.... but was terribly hungry..... dint feel like eating at the food court... so stepped out of the mall and drove to the India grocery store... bought some stuff and came back home..... and there lies the laundry waiting to be done.... resolution reminded !
Come what may I will do it today..... and guess what.... finally I did it.... what an accomplishment after days of procrastination !
Couple of colleagues called.... to talk about tomorrow's plan.... tomorrow is going to be busy..... hope it does not turn out to be another gloomy Sunday towards the evening.... feeling lonely.... no IMM is not going to let me do that..... got some work to do.... before Monday starts....
Finally decided to write this blog..... another way of connecting with IMM.... staying in touch with IMM.... and guess what... I think its turning out to be pretty good..... the laundry is also done now !
The day was good.... thank you IMM.

Wind Beneath My Wings.......

Those were the days of frustration and hopelessness..... I had given up living..... had just resigned on everything on professional and personal front..... but was still feeling the same drive which personifies me.... people perceived me as a tyrant and driven person.... but someone.... saw my internal struggle.... he could feel how much I was struggling to match myself to my own expectations.... and the stress it was creating within me... for the gap between my expectations from myself and my ability to match it was widening day by day..... I was completely stressed out.....

That someone special struck the cord.... the most painful cord within me.... and challenged me.... confronted me..... He said - your delivery does not match your perception of your abilities !

This caught me unaware.... I never thought someone would be able to articulate my situation in such crystal clear manner..... I didn't dislike the person.... rather I felt challenged.... and felt an immense respect for him....

Over.... next 1.5 years since we met..... he mentored me.... nurtured my personality towards objectivity and drive... to bring out the best in me.... We have had immense number of discussions.... in the corridors.... over the coffee machine..... in his office.... on the way home in his car....

An excellent conversationalist that he is.... and his tremendous ability to articulate the thoughts with right words... and focus the the real issue.... inspired me and kept that light within me glowing brighter as we interacted more and more.....

Thanks you my dear Mentor.... you are my inspiration for life..... I have a way to go.... reach the new heights... and you are the Wind Beneath My Wings!
