New Work Waves of Time

The last weekend, I decided to give canvas painting a try. I headed to Landmark and got me some Acrylic colors, Brushes and 2 small canvas boards. I was a little nervous before starting this experiment, after working on the digital medium all this while. Anyways I am satisfied with the result, but can do better.
Hub is leaving for a friend's wedding on the coming Saturday and will be back only on Tuesday. This will leave me quite some time for further trials :)

Gosh!!!!!!!!!

So I have put on almost 3 kgs after coming back to India. The reason being no exercise. Back in the US I was doing all the household chores myself, cooking healthy food for us and keeping things in check. Now with the job and stuff, it s tough to find time for these things. I still have breakfast and dinner at home, but lunch is in office. And, I think I end up eating more of it. I am planning to find some aerobics classes just for weekends(like an hour on Saturday and sunday).
This really sux, I cant any longer fit into my old jeans.
I ll seriously have to become more careful about the whole thing now. I so wish that the firm that I work with had a gym. That way I could have atleast, taken out some time out of those sedentary 10 hours in office. I will try and come up with some POA on it SOON.

Schizophrenia -2

Since my brother is suffering with Schizophrenia, I have been going over some articles online. I am actually looking for support groups/ rehab centers/ hospitals that provide treatment for patients suffering from Schizophrenia. The link is for an article on the facilities that are coming up/ currently present in India. I found it quite informative and hence sharing it as a post on my blog

Any kind of information/ links/ guidance on Schizophrenia will be highly appreciated.
You can personally contact me on my email id: surabhiahuja2003@gmail.com or leave me a comment, in case you want to get in touch with regards to Schizophrenia.

Afternoon Tea - Illustration to poem by Marianna Jo Arolin

Afternoon Tea by Marianna Jo Arolin

My copper kettle
whistles merrily
and signals that
it is time for tea.

The fine china cups
are filled with the brew.
There's lemon and sugar
and sweet cream, too.

But, best of all
there's friendship, between you and me.
As we lovingly share
our afternoon tea.

~Marianna Jo Arolin
