Monsoon magic

Rain, Rain and more rain seems to be the mantra here in South India!
Monsoon is the best setting for romance, the ideal backdrop for family reunions and friendly gatherings!
Must we say, gather a cup of hot steaming beverage, sit back and relax enjoying the splashes of rain drops dancing away to the tune of the blowing breeze.

I think each season tries to convey a message about life. Let me try to ponder more on how we can attribute seasons to phases that we go through everyday as we pass through our time.

Spring depicts freshness and a bloom of newness, the first love, first baby and all the firsts of our memorable experiences.
Summer shows the bright and sunny side of life, promising a glamorous future that lies ahead, filling us with hope and positive energy.
Winter depicts the dreary, dull and cold feelings that are evoked out of depressing loneliness.
Monsoon depicts the romantic and feel good aspect of life where the child inside us is brought out to enjoy the simple and basic moments that are lost amidst the busy materialistic life that most of us lead by choice or by compulsion one way or another.

My intention is not to sound like a philosopher here, but I feel sometimes we carry on with life without stopping to smell the flowers on the way.

How many times have you all asked yourself this question? What changed since the last few years of marriage/work/family that we became this boring person who we do not identify with at all.
We do change, but unintentionally which is why we do not realize that we are indeed not the same person we were 10 years ago when the thrill of romance and anticipation of life was a high riding experience. Some people are successful in keeping the spark alive and remain young at heart. But for the most part, not all of us can do that as second nature.

What do we need to do to recover the lost identity again!?!

My first attempt at blogging

Here I am trying to write my first blog ever..
I have always wanted to write like many people who wish the same but never pursue it as writing is pushed down in the list of things to do when you have family and commitments to take care of.
Though I worked in the IT industry I have never thought of why I was not into blogging before..
perhaps I was too busy to think about writing for leisure..
Why dont we start something when we first think about it, why do we procastinate, why is it that the time is never right ..
I do not have all the answers but I sure have questions!
Why the heck did I choose iRomance for my blog title..hmm I am a die hard romantic at heart or rather used to be one(I think) and would love to kindle that flame of what makes small things in life like a light kiss, a meaningful hug , holding hands and that locked eyes so special, what makes these simple gestures bring so much joy into our lives for that moment that sweeps us away from reality!?!
Well, thats why i chose the title , and thats why I am going to write about it as well in the coming days , weeks , months and years... if i dont get crowned with the queen of procastination title again...sigh! later...
