Missing myself...

It has been long since I wrote anything... long since I paused myself and given a break to see where I’m heading to... I’m feeling blank! Don't know what I’m feeling, neither good nor bad its no feeling state... neither do I understand or nor do I don't understand... perhaps I know what it is... perhaps I don't know...

Suddenly for no reason, today I remembering those days, when I used to be in office late in the evenings or during weekends...doing nothing, just reading some news articles here and there, sipping a cup of coffee, watching the cars on the road and those trees and their full life cycle... through that window close to my cubicle and be with myself... just to give all the space and time of the world to myself and get a clarity of thoughts... that used to be very soothing, that used to give me immense feeling of contentness... Today suddenly no not suddenly it’s over a period of time lots of thoughts are wandering around and realized that it has been long since I’m with myself, my myraid mind is missing me and want to get back to her...and yes I’m going to office...!

Beauty, bathe and beyond!

Let me start with a question. Which is the place in your home, where you feel, yourself? Where one spends their time with out any interruption, pretention or any tension! Where one can think of anything and everything, where one gets a quality time to retrospect, think, plan and even sing and dance! Where one could spend time rehearsing calls, talks, and acts and also makes all kind of faces and sees themselves and laugh at it! During blue days one could lock inside and cry heart out! And come out smiling! With all powder shimmered on the face and eyes! One is free of all kinds of poses, perhaps could learn to pose instead! Hmm! What is this place?? Voila! Did I hear? Yes, yes it is our own bathroom! A place where you are all alone, yet with all and whole of yourself. Yes this is one place I love, other than my room itself! Where I find peace and ease with myself, where I think that, I think and keep thinking and get late everywhere :) you see great mind thinks alike, where do you think Archimedes’s the great Eureka coming from?? The very same bathroom :)

Okie now enough of it, let me get to the point, what is this all about? It’s all about beauty, bathe and beyond! It’s about fantasy! Its about that tiny room in a corner of a house we live in, whose role does not stop grooming one physically but also expands beyond... however here it's not about your beauty but its beauty of bathroom itself :) Its all about a dream bathroom!! [Before going further, my next question! How many have this kinda dream bathroom fantasy? I know there are lot of them, okie at least few of them I know of].

Recently one of my friends was visiting me; she stayed with me for couple of days. One day she complimented me for some thing, very few people would ever think of! And that was my bathroom :D When she came out of it, with a big smile she told me that she likes my bathroom soo much that she did not feel like coming out of it! She told me that she likes that mild and sweet fragrance coming out of that freshener and nicely arranged things on that stab etc (which is a mess most of the time :)). And she told me that she did not feel like coming out :) Hmmm! That was nice of her to complement! However I was taken aback! First reason being, she shared the similar kind of interest as mine! Normally we all try to keep it clean and neat, but there are only few people I came across who are passionate about their bathrooms :D and I when she felt the same way as mine, it felt really nice. Second reason being, the current bathroom is not even 10% close to the one I want it to be. Right now I have nothing special in there!

There is this tooth brush holder, which has 5 brushes in it! All different colors and all of them belong to me :D you see a color per day!! And yes we all know that weekend is off, anyway! :) [Just kidding okay, I brush min twice a day!! ;-)] and have some room freshener, few earrings scattered around, a old bath mat, rug etc! Gosh! I tried replacing them with new ones recently, some how could not convince myself to buy those very expensive floor mats and rugs! They are so beautiful and elegant and nice! But equally expensive! Neither did I could convince myself to compromise! So left the battle between mind and heart to figure out in due course of time! [God, they cost me more than those beautiful dresses at Macys and Jjills! :(] I know it’s all just a matter of time and they are making their way to my bathroom pretty soon :)

Other things I wanted to get were those beautiful soap boxes, sprays and those candles and candle stands! They made them so sweet and elegant that I can’t stop looking at them and making a note in mind to match with the color of my bathroom floor, mat, hand towel etc. Poor thing, with all these in place, still my shower tab/base itself is not good :( its all old stuff, looks like we moved in hurry before they could complete their full fledged remodeling. Went and complained about it to the rental office, hope they fix it soon and make my dream bathroom a reality :)
