On my mind...

Recap

Attributing my silence on my blog to work and life is becoming a common excuse, I notice :) Without making much fuss, here are some things I’ve been doing or are on my mind today!

  • Exploring NYC stores and restaurants. Spending way too much time at the MOMA Design store. The place where I work gave us (thank you!) gift-cards to the store and I have yet to decide what to spend my monnies on!
  • Spent a few hours yesterday at Kinokuniya at the Rockefellar Center. Kinokuniya is an all-Japanese bookstore - they also have cool stationary and a few English books. If you are a Japanphile like me, you will LOVE this store. It’s a pity I can’t read or write Japanese yet but the store is a absolute sensory delight.
  • Browsed through Librairie De France, collection of classic French children’s books
  • Watched the entire Season 2 of Heroes  back-to-back on hulu.com.
  • Reading (previously unread) books my my favorite author Haruki Murakami - Currently reading, UnderGround.
  • Shuttling between Philly and NY, hanging out with friends, cooking meals and simply relishing this break.
  • Tweeting is yet to come naturally to me.
  • Bhutto’s murder shook me - pushed me to wonder, am I doing something important enough with my life. Such a bubble we live in sometimes.
  • When I was younger, I’d want to hold on to one day of the ending year — just one day for me to live whenever I chose to. Now, 1st Jan is just another day :) Doesn’t mean we don’t bring it in with a bang though

So that’ it for today!

  1. Sounds like the new job and relocating experience have brought many a new revelation…what a colourful way to end the year!

    Sometimes I ask myself if what I’m doing (or will end up doing) is important, or important enough. I think what is key is to make small things in life meaningful and to ‘do good’ with your whole heart (when you do it).

I believe in a set of values I cannot live by. I set high goals for myself, I seek perfection, dream of exotic faraway places. But ultimately, what I long for isn't far away at all. Its in my own backyard. Imperfection charms me, familiar things move me... a celebration of what we have, instead of what we long for- that for me, is glamor. -Isabella Rossellini
