Rita was busy debugging her code and suddenly an email popped up.Normally she would have read it after her work is done,but the subject of the email caught her eye.She scrutinized the sender's email id.It wasn't a familiar one.She didn't remember giving her official email id to anyone outside the office except one person,her dad.
She started going through the email .It was talking about very personal details of her.Rita met Sandeep 3 months ago .Like any other love story,theirs also started with friendship and ended up in commitment.Soon they talked about it to their parents,as both of them wanted their parents to know from them rather than any external source .Unfortunately the matter was not received well by either of their parents although Sandeep's dad didn't oppose strongly.

The mail utterly abused Sandeep and his parents .It even declared Sandeep as characterless and his dad as a prison returnee. It claimed that Sandeep had been already married with a wife and kid and his father had been to prison for duping some insurance firm.While Rita read the mail, she at once found a similarity in the tone of the mail.It was that of an authoritative person who was literally ordering her to break her relationship with Sandeep.In the end, the mail said that Rita had to apologize to her parents for cheating them and finding her own partner.This was mentioned in big bold capitals.Now she had no doubt about who had sent this email as this style of writing belonged to one person only.She had not had the liberty to choose anything through out her life.Her dad did the choosing for her always.Now that she chose her life partner, she was termed as a cheat and as a conspirator who worked out a plan to go against her parents.The fact that love happens unplanned was never understood.
Rita's eyes were filled with tears,nevertheless she shook them off and went back to debugging.

New day has come

Welcome to those who are hopping by my space!
Finally I have put aside all that was blocking me from writing and started penning down my thoughts!Well to be frank, I had already started scribbling when I was in Infy,but then it was in the Infy blog and had nice time reading thoughts of other blogoscions!
While I was making up my mind to blog, I was just thinking over the reasons why I hadn't started this earlier .I was wondering if I could continue writing or will I create a blog and stop with that or even if I write successfully,will there be anyone interested in reading at all or will I fall short of words.But now I have put all those fears aside and here I am writing my thoughts .

Its about 10 months since I left my job and I have all the time in the world to do whatever pleases me.When I used to have hectic schedules,I wished I had time for my hobbies to refresh myself.But now that I have all the time,I tend to get bored and not pursue my hobbies. I have read in a management book that an effective manager should assign high-priority task to someone who has already some tasks to do,so that he will fit the new task in his tight schedule and finish it on time,whereas if assigned to someone who has all the time with him, he would tend to relax and do it at his own pace.I cant agree more to this as I have experienced this through out last few months.I guess Newton's first law applies even here.
Not that I didn't try doing anything,I tried studying,but couldn't do that for long hours as I used to do once upon a time, tried painting,again couldn't continue with that after one attempt.I used to go to the park nearby and take few clicks and a stroll,but even that didn't last long thanks to the snow.I was house arrested because of the bad weather here and lost all hopes of seeing the sunshine.Today the scenario is different, sun is shining as bright as ever and with that have all my hopes returned and I am inspired to start over again with all that I love to do.

So here is me waving you all goodbye and signing off..More to come friends!Keep peeping into my space here..
Good day,
Vini
