I'm super partial to chocolate though :)

Whats happening to my tax money?!
I'm mad, hopping mad!! And I have every right to be - I wanna know whats happening with all that money I pay as tax.
A few weeks back, I've spent a crazy amount of money repairing my car - 5 months ago, yeah it creaked a bit and had a few issues but it worked just fine! Come the monsoons and the roads were...well, not roads anymore. The roads were in the potholes of course. So, I drove slower, more careful, eased my darling car over the craters with as much gentleness as possible.
Despite my efforts, my car didn't survive. Multiple injuries, some major, some vital organs needed replacement and the money flowed. I was car-less for 2 weeks. And the money flowed like water to fix my poor baby.
That brings me to the question in hand - whats happening with the money I'm paying as tax to make things better for tax payers? The roads suck. I over-pay the auto men, I'm just way beyond arguing about their meters being rigged, the customer complaint lines don't work, you get the rift.
I'm done venting - for now. The pic below stopped me :D

Happy Kick - A star studded sky
Nights in Milwaukee, Wisconsin were beautiful. On a clear night, I used to love standing at my balcony at my first home in Springdale, shivering in my jacket and gazing at the stars. My most beautiful memory is from a drive back from Madison. My friends car had a sun roof and we'd pulled it down. I leaned back and stared at the sky - I was overwhelmed. I had never seen such a cluster of stars!! It took my breath away. Many a nights were spent at the West Allis school or at the steps of my home in West Allis gazing up at one of God's wonders.

Happy Kick - Rain!
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
Happy Kick - Sunset on the ocean
The sun, the sky, the sea, the sand
A lightly blowing breeze
Ruffling skirts, Hair gently framing my face
The myriad of colors
When the sun goes down.
This scene captured in my mind
A memory that brings a smile.

GRATITUDE
I have this desire in my life,
To live it to the fullest.
With Sensitivity, Love and Compassion,
And most of all GRATITUDE
I express my Gratitude for my life,
I live in Gratitude for what is offered to me,
I bow down in Gratitude to GOD,
For all that He brings to me.
I have lots and much more,
And I will live my life in this blissful feeling,
Of GRATITUDE

That Glance
A few hundred strangers
You were one of them.
A glance in your direction,
A glance in mine.
A short conversation,
A gaze in the eyes.
A few words spoken,
A thousand words unspoken.
A distance that continued,
And still stayed so close.
Ways that parted,
Cross ways again we shall...

GOLDEN SPARKLES OF MAGIC
It just makes sense to write about this – after all, it’s been my Gtalk status for years now, it’s also my ‘About Me’ on Facebook and just so had to be the new blogs’ name as well!
This phrase has stuck and stayed with me – through countless, endless conversations. Through my thoughts. Through my spirit. Through me.
I recollect how I first came across my Golden Sparkles of Magic – If I retrospect (and so I shall), it goes back to when one by one, people who were special in my life started moving across a few oceans. My way of staying touch – Gmail and Gtalk – my trusted buddies. So many beautiful conversations ensued and it was one such conversation that was magical and sparkly for me. And Voila! That was the beginning of my Golden Sparkles of Magic.
I’ve wondered through the years if I could ever put a visual to that expression and I finally could. On one my flights back from Delhi a year back, my flight was encircling the Bombay airspace. We were doing rounds over the ocean – I had an early AM flight and the sun was just rising. We were on a low encircling and could see the ocean below. It was a clear day in May and the water calm. And suddenly, as the sunlight bounced off the water, I could see sparkles! All over! Mesmerizing Golden sparkles…of magic :) It was one of the most beautiful sights I had ever seen.
My life is filled with beautiful moments - golden moments, magical moments.
