Home Alone - I

Wify left on a two-week official trip to the states this morning. That leaves me home-alone, with more time than I know what to do with. On the flip side, it gives me an opportunity to catch up with certain things that I've been meaning to do but just didn't have the time for, and do some quiet thinking on some others.

This is going to be a series of posts to share my experience of being alone at home, along with finding out if I really can keep my promise of doing justice to 'things I wanted to do', or simply waste the time away on TV, web surfing, and sleeping.

Seen on the web

Today I saw something on a blog I visit regularly. I paraphrase (well, kind of): "A year is a very long time; it is more than 1 percent of what you are left with." Think about it. It's perfectly true and a little discouraging. Or, a little scary, depending on how you see it. And we generally tend to consider our lifetimes as really long. In any case, it reminds us to use our time (or what's left of it) well. 

Cheers,
Aashish.
