Monday Mornings with The Hindu

No doubt I suffer from the chronic disorder "Monday Blues" or "Mondayphobia".

But Mondays can be at times better.. especially when you get that perfect breakfast.. Few (2-4) slices of warm brown bread, melting butter, all- time favorite St. Dalfour's Thick Apricot preserve, ommlette, bananas and of course tea (in my new mug, bought from a flea market)..!

This Monday was no different  than the other Mondays except for that mishap which shook the NE India. Sikkim shaken by quake on the front-page of The Hindu..! Alas.. Sunday evening  was devastating for many, I guess.. I saw Fb updates "We are shaken", "Ïn trauma, thanks to earth quake"..Ä friend even wrote~"This time I was not sleeping (referring to the Delhi earth quake,that occured few days back), I was walking...!" I felt gloomy with such updates. News channels showing live coverage of the earth quake that hit the valleies of NE India and parts of West Bengal, Bihar.. Monday morning, as it happens, I get various symptoms of Mondayphobia...Nevertheless the previous day's news made me realise I am still better off and that I should be rather cheerful and happy than sulking about my blueing Mondays, irky boss and jammed up traffic on Bangalore roads and blah blah...!

I seriously hope that all my north-east folks and friends are fine and not affected by this devastating earthquake.

Amen!

Current Mood: Thoughtful and thankful to Almighty

Pursuit of Happiness

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

~ Franklin D. Roosevelt 

It was typical Monday - tiring and bugging with loads of works and a nut-headed boss. No doubt I suffered from Monday blues. Cloudy mornings and dizzy evening and raining late evenings.! I hate all in all 'Monday'. 

But still I lived the day and my pursuit of happiness still continues...!

Current Mood: Tired and suffering from a  painful mucocele 

 

Little Miss Sunshine

As like a flower can't blossom without sunshine, a man cannot live without love.
~ Max Muller

 Tomorrow is a Monday again. However, I am not scared of my Monday Blues. I am planning to go to workplace and do some serious work. 

When I get bored at office, I usually indulge myself into scribbling something or the other in my "to do list" notebook.. Scribbling for me can be a haiku or a doodle or something else (name it as abstract art-forms). 

This picture was doodled on 9th May'11 (when Google celebrated eminent illustrator and children book author, Roger Hargreaves 76th birthday).I was so much inspired by this that I too sketched my favorite character- "Little Miss Sunshine". 

And as Little Miss Sunshine says~ "All we need is love and a little bit of sunshine". 

Hope you too have a great week ahead that has loads of love and little bit of sunshine...!
