Don't Want To Be Forgotten

Alright - so I don't get depressed any more.  But take a look at my blog address. Tears In Southall - tears? No c'mon really?  Which idiot decides to name a blog with tears?  Anyway, this idiot certainly did.

So whenever I come to my blog, that's all I am reminded of - the depressing days, the tough times.  No more; I don't want this blog to be remembered for someone who always moaned.

To tell you the truth, I am keeping a journal.  So this is like double work trying to update the blog.  Right now I am in a comfortable place and want the whole world to know that.  Who knows - at some point people would come to my blog and read about "Happiness In Southall".  Sounds so strange; Southall is not exactly a place where people come to be happy.  People come here to see how a place in the UK can look so Indian, no make that so like Punjab.

Anyway I am going to try and write daily - just one line.  One line - about my blessings of the day.  

What Happened In The Meanwhile......

Over the past one year I saved pots of money.  Frugal I always am, but this is the first time I hoarded money.  I didn't give it away or use it for the house or husband or family or any damn thing.  I put it all in my bank account and kept adding to it. I don’t need no husband’s money to feel rich.  I am rich.  I am capable of making my own money and I can find my own financial security - thank you very much.

My husband is my true love.  Why? I have zero expectations of him and yet I am with him.   One by one I am in the process of breaking down all my self-erected expectations and ideals in a relationship.   DH does not have to be anything or anyone that he is not just to have me in his life.  

I don’t have friends because I don’t try.  These days I just say yes to almost everything and almost everyone.  I am game for a drink, a night out, a walk, a movie, a whatever.  I am no longer afraid of meeting new people and engaging in small talks.  I know I will find a friend; it’s just a matter of time.

I passed my MBA in July.  From next week I will be going for the Japanese Beginners course at SOAS. 

Note to self: Blog more often.

This is exactly how I feel today
