An Immigrant - my latest read

I am currently reading 'An Immigrant' by Manju Kapur. Its a new book about a 30+ indian lady marrying an NRI dentist from Canada. How she faces her new life, husband, his shortcomings, etc and how gradually she opens her wings. I like her books - they are so Indian and nice. Somehow I connect with her characters - even if their lives are very different from mine - I hv never exp any of the things they do. But they feel close...

I am nearing completion and feel like completing soon. Next I will read Difficult Daughters from Manju Kapur again. Will update as soon as I get to read this.

Why does the success in corp world come with manipulations, selfish moves, being mean. Why cant colleagues be friends and humans? I dont really know and trust most people who work in the same place.
But this is really sad as we all spend most of our waking hours at work. I see the people I work with weilding daggers at each other's backs - everyone has a plan of action and game to play.
But I dont think I can be a part of this crazy culture which makes me turn inhuman. People might see me as not-so-open and a bit to myself, but in fact I dont connect to them. I dont like them and I dont want to talk to such people. I am uncomfortable around them.
One can conform to what other people expect, or you can go on doing what you think is right. Actually, to come to think of it, I have always been like this. Maybe thats why I havent had tonnes of friends.... But the ones I have are the ones that made me what I am....

Hi again

It has been so long since we met - almost 2 yrs. I dont know why did I take so long to come back.

Anyways, here I am to keep up again, this time for good

Life is better since my last post. Hv a new job - more fulfilling and all, but of course with its own shortfalls. But am more hopeful and positive in life. Aryan, my son is 3 now. Being a mommy is really a lovely feeling.

We hv moved to a new place which is better and bigger. But we are still looking to actually hv a good breakthrough from the rut. I think it will come soon - see I am really more positive.
