What You Don't Know #BarAThon

This prompt had me scratching my head for ideas but I just turned up with blanks. So as always I thought I would do a free write and see where my thoughts take me.

I really wanted to write on a spiritual theme but perhaps today I'm not supposed to. Instead the thought of the things that you perhaps don't know about me keeps going around in my head So here are some things that you don't know about me.

I was 2 years old when I took my first trip overseas to Singapore from Bombay. The flights back then took almost 12 hours and the propeller jets made the most awful noise. I screamed my head off for most of the flight and broke my mother's watch. Having heard this story from my mother, I now have a great tolerance for kids on planes.

I was about 6 years old when my dad bought me a puzzle book. Quite similar to the logic puzzles you get today I absolutely loved the book and it began my love affair with puzzles, one of the many things I had in common with my dad  When Sudoku came into existence, both my dad and I took to it like a duck to water. My dad had a routine of solving sudoku and word puzzles everyday. I try and solve one sudoku puzzle everyday usually on the bus home from work.

I was about 8 years old when at a movie (can't remember which one), they were handing out a  picture for a colouring competition held by Eagle flasks. My dad sent my colouring in and I won the 3rd prize - you guessed it, an Eagle flask.  Don't remember what the picture was but I do remember I coloured it in various shades of green and blue. And I don't know why that sticks so much in my memory.

Do share some of your What You Don't Know things.

6 Word Memoir

This month's Blogplicity challenge inspired by Corinne at Everyday Gyaan is to write a 6 Word Memoir.

Thanks Rimly for introducing my blog and handing over the challenge to me.

Writing a 6 word memoir seems like a simple task but oh how wrong was I. It took a good 10 days (and lots of experimenting with words) to find the perfect 6 words that truly denote a sense of me and my life, and I needed to feel them in my soul. I also wanted to bring out my Indian side so that made the challenge even harder.

But eventually the 6 words came to life, my heart smiled and I could feel Heaven nod in agreement.

So here is my 6 word memoir ....

Following Universe's flow with Bhakti and Shradha

Bhakti = heartfelt devotion and love for the Divine

Shradha = unconditional, unquestioning, absolute faith in the Divine

Pacific Ocean

Would love to read your 6 word memoir, so please share in the comments section. 

And tomorrow please check out Karen Brunner's at Finding your fire where words have power!

Warm Regards
