Just when one thinks that life would be moving on smoothly, one realises that all is not as thought of...that some essential ingredients are missing from this 'hotch potch' of life.....even if its hotch potch, it needs to taste good !!

Just when one is pulling though times when one comes to know that there is perhaps better ways and a better life.......

Just when one is struggling to put things in perspective one realises that 'change' is not the easiest thing in life !! Time and again......this lesson is never too old or learnt enough...

Just when one is about to wallow in low feelings one realises that there is so much more that she has recieved in this lifetime.......that she tends to forget...

Just as she realises all this she understands that times never remain the same and that she will be able to get what she wants......be the change she is looking for...and she can do things on her own too......

Just like that she felt like writing out my thoughts.... :P and I am happy I did :D

What does one do when all of a sudden she is relieved of the 12-13 hours @ job to becoming a puffy, sneezing and sniffling babie with an overose of medicine...

Hmm...well to some extent I really do not have to worry because the medicines keep me groggy and sleepy...and then the rest of the time I am wondering whether I should be happy about having sometime for myself (in ANY circumstance I mean) or be sad for all the delayed flights in my life...

Just as I was about to give up on trying to keep my eyes open...someone schemed for a loadshedding...with no other option for me but to head for the terrace. And it was nice...with a pack of unfinished Kurkure and my cellphone and one of the books I love so dearly,'Three men in a boat' I was all set for my day out :P

Its nice to soak up the sun...and its even better when one is a self-confessed sunshine gurl who has been withering for want of the sunny boy ;) The time I spent on the terace was just 40 minutes, I would have spent some more but....As I finished one of the random chapters, that is whats so nice about this book...just flip to any chapter and rest and enjoy the subtle philosophy and humour...It was nice to see the white fluffy clouds against the blue sky..I could feel a lump in my throat..reminded me of my childhood..of days spent with my family..of mom and my sis...and all the fun we had in our family home....its been ages since I was so wella to have the time to spend just looking at clouds flying...munching kurkure and with a book in hand....

Therapeautic..that is what it felt like...to be in the company of the familiar...and to be in the reverie of fond memories....

And then I saw something which I had never seen before....white changing to black...and noo it does not stop here...as I was watching the clouds dissolving into black and grey...my eyes tried to make out some kind of 'dust storm' except that I did not feel any dust over me...somewhere in the horizon there was something which I ws unable to recollect or understand....and then it few right above me.....Clouds...huge clouds of dragonflys...just went on and on...never seen anything like this before...was completely amazed....it seemed as if they were trying to beat the approaching rain...racing to reach somewhere before the clouds of raindrops....

So preoccupied was I that I was almost taken by surprise by the huge raindrops that started pitter-pattering in no time :)

Here I am in a much better mood, blogging away my life and loving the feel of the cool air on my face....

This 'Sunshine gurl' loves Rain too :D

UPDATE !!

Life seems better with two fluffy pillows to lie on...internet working flawlessly...a bowl of hot maggie with green chillies as the only garnish, a little soupy too and with a lovely blog to read...

I love reading her : I chatter a lot !!

Chanced upon her blog sometime back and have continued going back to it often. She reminds me of my own experiences and love the way she writes. Enjoy ppl !!!

We Chatter Bugs

Its been ages since I have blogged....and it seems even longer than that not to have put down my thoughts...I had once read about a book which had the strangest title...something like 'Written with One finger' and I was 'What the heck is that!!' Only to read that the author had typed with just one finger!!!!

I missed typing with my five fingers...and I missed my bloggie soo much ! It has brought me some of the best things that life has to offer...love and friendship....and all the anonymity that lets one be himself..

And yes...I should add too...that I have been busy..but yeah thats just an excuse...and I dont think I shall stop tapping on these familiar keys...loving the feeling of translating thoughts to words and getting the high of finding some comments on them...Comments just add to the depth of the writing...infact it adds all the dimensions....some opinions, some thoughts...some echoes and some not.....but I cherish all of them....

I think I would end with the note of promise to be more regular...a promise made to none but me....and my bloggie...whom I have kept under 'Baby Tiny' under my 'Favourites' list :D

Muuah my babie ;)

hmm...I planned writing this post y'day night...when I had nothing to keep myself busy ...and those busy sleeping would have not liked my switching on the light so that I could read.....and I am a fearless lass except that I do not like 7 sets of eyes glaring at me at 12:30 in the night !!

Now before you guys start thinking I was in a community 'slumber'....I was actually travelling from Delhi to my place....and being a nightbird, had some time to kill....So what I do then is that I checkout my purse....

Okayz....here I have divulged all that was in my purse..the entire booty !!

Now you guys can also open your wallet and purse and take a peek...I am sure you would be no less surprised :P

Hmm.....now why don't I compell some of you to disclose whats in your bags and wallet.... Taggie tag does sound like a good idea !!! :)) ha ha ha haa haa...

I have not posted for some time now....and surely its because the things going on in my life is rather mundane....a happy kind of mundane events and experiences...I have been home for quite sometime now...and for the first time I am spending time at home without feeling guilty of missing classes or with the worry of the breaks getting over in a jiffy..

A contented time.....that’s what it is...and I get to watch all the soccer and cricket...and spend lots of time doing what I like...which is as plain and simple as spending time with my mom and dad. Watched soccer match with dad at 12:30 in the night ...we kept munching one thing after another...and it was so nice reconnecting...especially since I rarely get to spend time with dad before TV...last time I remember I saw a soccer match with dad was in the year 1998-The finals.

Having mom means having all the time to chit chat …which I thoroughly love doing…and having amazing home food…its not lavish for sure…simple and yumm !! Its fun getting up early to catch up with them for the morning walk and then doze off to sleep again by 6, I being me [:P ] And yes, it also gave me some time to know some people who have come to mean much to me….to reconnect with old friends…

Its amazing how easily one can slip into the home environment and forget about ever being away from it...I know most of my friends have already joined and spent their salary...splurging, and enjoying...learning new things…getting pampered at the best places...but I am happy to have this time to me and my family...

I doubt whether I will ever get so much time to be totally ‘vella’...and have all the goodies at home...and am I glad....so H@#C you gave me a good bargain by giving me these amazing months at home....and corporate life here I come....soon enough :P :))

An amazingly nostalgic picture which I found on the net...

I have not posted for a while....so here is a tag which i completed in record time :)

I was tagged by Ricky.He gave me an alphabet, 'D'. I have to write 10 words beginning with that alphabet, including an explanation of what those words mean to me and why.

Dreams : one of the happiest words for me…lets me just be…away from practical world at times…and inspires me at other times…something that is very personal and very me…

Do Minute : very common….something I use often….subah ho gayee…bas do minute ,aur..Chatting…BRB , How long to get ready…bas do minute…and yes the non disputed ‘DO Minute’…Maggi..Bas do minute !!

Di : My di…my only sibling, my biggest fan….someone who has pamperend me throughout my life…simple sensitive and very much her…someone who cannot be described by me…I know her soo well that she has become indescribable for me…Love you di…Muah :*

Diju : Now a word that is my very own creation…a combination of two very beautiful people…my Di and Jiju…they are so very one in some ways..that I can use one word to address them . Especially when sending mails and cards…and sending just one e-mail ;)
I am so glad they ‘found’ each other…..*sigh* Love you Diju :)

Drama : Nautanki !! I love theatre…and have been a part for a few years…but apart from the ‘high brow’ thing that people see it as…its more avant guarde and food for thoughts and lots of camaraderie while in production….I learnt a lot while being part of ‘Anukriti’ at MH.

Dogs : Yeah…its as ingrained as ‘D for Dog’…but I loooove dogs….and I love puppies even more :P Will love to have a pet…but I don’t have the time and space just now :(

Duffer : I do not use slangs often…this is one of the very few ones…but I use it more in a loving way than mean….how do I say it…’Dufffer !!!’

Dilli : Delhi….yeah saddi dilli…a place where I learnt to be ‘me’…a test for survival ,a place which afforded me an anonymity…my ‘karma bhoomi’ :D Delhi is like my second home now….but delhi ka climate !! hey bhagu !!!!!!

Dhoni : Yeah…I know he has not performed splendid…I was disappointed…but he is someone I like to follow !! I like his being himself…I like the way he answered Prannoy Roy…his shy smile..hmm….hmm….

Dil aur Dimag : the best combo I believe….though not always in equal weightage…circumstantial…where ‘dimag’ stops to answer….listen to your ‘dil’ and when ‘dil’ confuses….listen to the saner voice…and when both say ‘yes’ ….do you need further explanation ???!!?? ;)

There I finish my tag….

D for Done !! he he hee ….

I have just watched ‘15 Park Avenue’….I wanted to watch this movie and was delighted to see the ‘breaks’ when Shabana Azmi would share trivia abut the making and the film…however the movie left me largely sad.

I am sad because it was a sad movie, somehow though I love watching movies which serious themes and which are truly ‘hatke’… .at the end of it I largely have a tired mind to take care of…..

Films which had similar effect were Hazaro Khwaishen Aisi , Bawandar, and like…No I am not even trying to recall the names…just not in the mood to do so ….

However, I do remember how and when I really got hooked to such genre of movies….I have always liked Arty movies….and when in college, our ‘Movie club’ which was largely an extension of the ‘Lit. Soc.’ was planning to show some movies for the serious audience…there was much debate about the suggested names…..

Finally we screened some 4-5 movies, ‘Hari Bhari’, ‘Kairee’, ‘Boy’s don’t cry’ and ‘Fire’. The discussion was largely regarding the screening of the last two movies…since the show was open to all DU students….we were not sure if the mood and the public would be right for these movies……

We did go ahead with it anyhow……I remember my senior remark for ‘Boy’s don’t cry’ …the movie is excellent but I would not recommend it to be screened….I was much baffled by the arguments!!

Anyways….while the movie was screened during afternoon…..I was among the audience, the MH auditorium was packed…we had a ‘full house’ …much tension about the number of guys who had turned up for the screening, we were prepared to hear the jibes and the snide remarks…DU has all kinds of people and the movie was ‘different’…

When the movie started I found myself a seat in the dark….last minute running about has its consequences ….and lo!! I was sitting beside a guy and aisle. The section of people around me was largely mixed…I watched with some inhibitions.

The movie explores lesbian relationship, and has some pretty explicit scenes and in all is a hard hitting movie which has been made very well. Contrary to what we expected…I did not expect much because I was watching it for the first time….the response was amazing! No one uttered a word….all of them sat…absorbed…feeling the pain, the uneasiness, some shocked …I was ….and some easy.

The whole movie was not interrupted even once….and when the capacity of the auditorium is around a thousand, one does expect some mischief…We were all surprised by the decorum. Infact the only remark which left a bad taste for me was when one of my close friends sneered while I was leaving… ‘how was the movie?? Heard some hot scenes there!!’

Since then I have heard and seen much…debates, arguments, forums, et al….but even today that silence during the movie keeps echoing in my ears..

I got a very sweet news today…my cousin is getting engaged to his love……..

Now I am amused because of an interesting incident that happened a few years ago….while I was in college….this cousin of mine calls up really early in the morn on a Sunday to say that he is in the city and is coming down…..

That is an urgency enough for 4 girls to wake up and get some sense to work…well….to say the least we were in a position to open the door to a guy and were able to have a decent conversation over tea…my flat mates were giggling all the time, sadly I could not join….he was already embarrassed :P

Dressed, I was contemplating showing him around the university area when he tells me he has plans of his own……we get to meet one of his friends from his coaching days, she incidentally turned out to be a common friend….and lived just one block away ! clichéd it is…but, it’s a small world ;)

Next on itinerary is a visit to a distant relative of his who lives across the place….DU , Hudson Lines and Kingsway Camp!! So we tread to her place. What he suggests is that for some fun lets pose as if we are going around!! I am always game for innocent fun : ))

Swati is soo glad to see him, and me too….well until he introduces me and I play the part to a flourish , ‘a wink and tell’ :P She asks me to tell her how we met and how did it all happen….hmm…hmm……we were able to concoct a ‘believable’ story about having met on a DCT bus a year ago…and have carried on since. He being my cousin, we kept talking about family and catching on the latest news ….She kept wowing at the fact that I knew so much about the family already :P Before long we were on our way to a popular joint for lunch …

This cousin of mine is quite handsome, and has a very sweet disposition with a streak of craziness too (I found out !!) And we carried on the charade for a long time….on and on with back slapping friendliness and the poor baby smiling and bearing up with it :P Least did I know that she had a crush on this guy !!!!!!!!

Now when it was time to drop Swati to her PG I thought we might as well tell her about the imposer, Honey refuses (yeah that’s what we call him ;)). I say, ‘don’t we have to clarify something??’ ‘I do not!’ Staring at him *pagal ho kya!!* ‘Anyways, Swati I happen to be his cousin…and it was all in fun….There is nothing between us’

She sits down on the stairs….I am amused, *whats the deal ?!?*

Now the deal is that they are getting engaged this month and are getting married next year !!!

Silly Life :D

Hey! I have been on ‘orkut’ for some time…and apart from getting to know my blog friends better (It was sooo exciting to go locating them) I have been able to reconnect with some school friends and also been richer by the links which have been helpful in getting me lots of e-books and a peek into an amazing story……uska abhi ‘the end’ nahin hone wala…….will write about it later ;)

So what I was about to share was that I have been able to join my alma mater’s society and among other discussions was this trivia about the guy who would sell lots of savories outside the school gates……sadly none of us were able to recall his name…though most of us had our mouth watering at the mere memory of the smell and taste of amazing ‘aloocut’ and ‘imli’ that we had….This man was old, would wear a dhoti and kurta and would come with a cane stand and a lot of nice stuff…(of typical girlie taste)
And when the school would get over….we would actually shout and yell to be hear and grab with elastic hands as our buses would threaten to leave without us…it was a great deal of nuisance for all those who loved discipline and cleanliness….. :P

But one incident stands out…..It so happened that someone got ‘imli’ from this guy and was having it in the Physics class….now ‘that’ teacher was a cool one…...(by ‘convent’ standard she was more of a rebel)!! So this girl is caught in the mischief…and hands over the remaining stuff to the teacher….no big bother really :)) ….But there was more fun in store….the paper he used to wrap in the imli used to be ‘raddi’ used notebooks and magazines…(I never said it was hygienic ) and this sample was wrapped in some kind of a love letter written by a boy….more like one high on hormones…and with weird spelling and lazy handwriting…..:P and when Ms.S noticed the writing she laughed at it…Now no decent teacher laughs at a small wrap of imli !!

So we asked her to share her thoughts….game that she was…….she asked someone who had equally illegible handwriting to read it….(amazing common sense). Anyways after 3-4 trial runs…the complete letter was deciphered and it was read aloud inside closed doors, while we tried hard to laugh with our mouth closed !!

It was something very very hilarious!! I remember some of us falling over with controlled laughter….. he he he .And it was a ‘prized’ possession in no time…each of us wanted to share it with the rest of our gang …..So the inevitable happened….:P

Since the ‘aloocut’wala used to tear pages from complete notebooks we decided there might be more pages left from the same, now we waited for the school to get over….and rushed to the ‘aloocut’wala with double the speed and urgency ….but sadly some things are not meant to happen……:P :(

We were not able to read another piece of the words uttered by a crazed heart, wounded by the eyes of the cruel girl…..(believe me it was even more tacky than this)

Alas alas !!

Her face was lit by the sudden lightening...it was during times like these when she would love to be alone...it was never a conscious effort to be alone…but she liked having her space...it was essential to her being....Strangely her mind was always preoccupied with the best and worst of the memories during these moments.....

Solitude is a bliss.....it is as essential as the pause which adds meaning to a motley group of words....time, space...lacuna, gap........and a pause.......and how she wished at times to forget 'those' times...and at other times close her eyes tightly and recall the face.....and at some odd moments.....that face would come to her, clear and heart breaking......time had stood still on that face....It was that same face which she had last seen ....when he had come to see her off......and today, even if they sat facing each other it would be near impossible to recognize that face...to make that connection....

Time had moved on......life has changed.....and with each passing day, with each new experience she was changing.....'they' were evolving....that 'something' which was 'all' for them at sometime was getting sliced by the hands of time.......and during some rare occasions when they had exchanged words........it threatened to become 'all'....but then with the passing of the moment .....it would get lost....

Finally. It was time to bid goodbye.....goodbyes are always special......'may God be with you'. And yes, sometimes when the rain drops would moisten her face....the moments would flash....lightening fast.

I am saddened and I am waiting for the numbness to become something more capable…I am frustrated and I am waiting for this frustration to eat up my brain so that I cannot sit idle any longer…watching all that is going around me like a zombie..

Sometimes I wish I was away from all the news and the coverage. Wish I was so mired with my deadlines and my presentations that only ET would catch my eyeballs each day ….

Quota system, some please make me believe that this is in better stand and not just a lazy solution that the politicians are using to cover up half a decade of letting BC be just that…letting them remain illiterate and using these very gimmicks to fill the ballot boxes…someone please make me believe that the discrimination between the haves and have nots will be eventually solved by these quotas…why …do all the have nots, the less empowered, do they all belong to the OBC and Scheduled castes…..??

Someone tell me why should the Maharashtra assembly spent an entire day debating wardrobe malfunction and set an enquiry group to do the needful…..while the farmers, those who have cultivated onion…these left to struggle with the apathy of the government...where are those eyeballs who sit in conference viewing the clipping of the ‘malfunction’ when a farmer commits suicide in the very mandi where he should have been able to sell this produce to provide for his family….

Why does the government spend 29 crores to get the ‘flame’ from Australia to India…why does movie actors and actresses get paid in crores for their dance and drama when it is our players who ‘perform’ …and why does the budget overshoot by 9 crores when all that is accomplished in the bargain to get the ‘flame’ to the next venue….how numb, how many zombies is this country made of ……..And at the other end …..why does a national kabbadi player have to commit suicide….and that to someone who is still in form and not retired…….what is left with a father who earns just 700 rupees per month…..someone promises government jobs and never delivers……why do you need to further frustrate people who are already living on the edge……no one will miss them I am sure of……there are enough hungry stomachs in India who will be ready to play for their country for the ‘promise’ of a decent job…..why care when the supply is in surplus…..simply exploit the opportunity……Ashwariya (I do not care if the spelling is wrong !) is born just once……..girls who can play at the national level is found in every village……Saif ali is celebrated in Australia for his amazing ‘performance’….a stamp has been released by the ‘obliged’ Australian government.

Meerut tragedy is getting coverage and so is the funeral of ‘Rajkumar’…I really do not know what to say……why do mobs occur…….why do people storm DM offices and what goes into the minds of those very people who vandalize the houses on the funereal path of someone…….

I wish I could atleast sleep over it…….but to tell the truth even sleep brings nightmares at times……

When I was in the fourth grade….one of the best lessons I learnt was about metamorphosis, and the example that my ‘Science is Fun’ edition displayed was the lifecycle of a butterfly .My ma is the best when it comes to making studies fun..

So we (di and me) searched for a caterpillar and …..Now when the pupa stage was showing no signs of progressing …we would check each day , a number of times… so that we did not miss upon the ‘butterfly’….it looked kind of impossible for that ‘dry leaf’ to turn into any beautiful thing !!

Finally….the chrysalis showed a sign of change….the mesh pencil holder with the pupa hanging to the twig was brought in open air…The butterfly emerged…but its beauty, the wings were so crumpled and it struggled to come out….it walked…unbalanced itself…we were horrified at the condition…the ‘baby’ was so fragile…we decided to help it fly…and slowly and carefully helped it spread its wings….

What we did not realize then, though we saw the immediate signs that the butterfly was not ‘absolutely’ normal...it worried us no end…but finally we had to let it go...Since trying to feed a butterfly is by no means a ‘human’ job.

We found out later that the butterfly has to pass the last test of survival…it has to pump the fluid up the veins in its wings, that’s how its wings get the ‘shape’ and we had unknowingly managed to jeopardize the scheme of things……

At many junctions in life I have faced adverse conditions, some created by me while the others not quite my fault, at these times it would get difficult not to question ‘why me?’ However, in the ‘scheme of things’ I have realized that things happen, situations change, One has to learn not just to celebrate joys but the moments in life….its fun that ways, and that is what living and learning is about, it’s about ‘adapting’…something which is our very own thing to do and it’s a test for survival….

And yes, another important lesson..…the job is ours to finish…difficult as it may be…we have to learn how to ‘spread’ our wings and fly..

Loving, living and learning from life .

HEY I AM BACK !

And now a quick peek into my life till now….in new surroundings and new place and new experiences…

Was discovering the joys of sleeping till the clock showed P.M ….but those days are over :P

I have finally enrolled for proper driving classes….B refuses to believe one can drive with the ‘Second’ gear….hass lo......par I am always upto doing things otherwise thought impossible !!

This discovering of a new kind of mobility means giving up on ‘forgetting’ the time of the day…though I do tend to forget which day of the week it is….

After having lived on the 5th floor...its fun having a bungalow….and the whole garden to discover…..lemme tell you how !!

# I rise early (not by choice), spread the newspaper on the carpet grass…and let the dew soak the paper and laze till my chocolate milk cools as my mom’s temp rises……and not to forget….the dear newspaper ‘The Telegraph’ is delivered a day stale…..so everyday I sit in horror…having missed all the good flicks on T.V the day before…. :(

# I water the plants when I cannot stand the sight of overpowered faces on the T.V …and sadly….I have managed to flood two flowerbeds till now…..my mother should get an award for her patience with me !

# I believe in enjoying while I work…….so 5 minutes of watering with the garden hose is alternated with 5 seconds of letting the water shoot up over me and thus ‘watering’ me….Sadly I am not changing any colour…no more greener than I previously was and have not increased in height too…..*wondering*

# There is some surprises everywhere……mom and I love to wait and watch for the little seedlings and anticipating the colours of the pretty flowers…plz do not ask of me the names for I can hardly recall the names of all the ‘people’ I have been introduced to in this place over the short period.

# The ‘activity’ has increased….I no longer use the Gate….well you would agree guys…who ever walks across the whole length when one can walk across the lawn and climb over the boundary wall ….. it no big feat I tell you with the wall being mere 4 feet high. J The security guards are losing interest in my antics sadly :( :P

My ‘Holi’….thankyou all for the good wishes……I needed all of them you see…….I am in a ‘Love-Hate’ relationship with a cute little ‘King’….this sweety got so frightened with all the florescent colours of holi that even before I could part take of all the fun…….the poor creature freaked out and in a successful attempt to stop me,scratched me all over my feet and bit my toe too …….So now I am counting the number of shots that I have to take…..the number does not look so bad now……1 tetvac + 5 rabipur + 1 Booster ….. and yours lovingly has already braved the tetvac and 3 rabipur ……lovely !!

Aggarwal aunty is still trying to make the little black Pomeranian understand I am ‘Didi’ and not ‘Danger’…. Mom thinks I am exaggerating when I say ‘kutte ne kat liya’….woh toh ‘Puppy’ hai……..sure Ma…and I love Puppies….. :)

Now I love eating……. All those who have met me would nod their head and say ‘not with your physique’ … and those who have stayed with me will burn with envy…yayyaaaaa :)) I am in paradise…. Love mamma’s food…….sadly haven’t got around to learning her recipes yet……. Tick Tock....the time is running out !!!!

Have been hunting……..for shops and aiming for some government heads…..these BSNL guys have been able to keep me away from all connectivity ……who needs to be marooned on an island take the first train to my ‘town’.

And much to my surprise…I visited the only two ‘happening’ places according to my Dad !! Believe me I wanted to keep one reserved for another day, anyways…I visited a Zoo…and I loved all the lovely landscaping and the birds and the animals … Touched a deer for the first time and got some lovely shots of the pair of cheetah. I am including the pictures for all … and then visited the ‘three temples’…the driver told us some real spooky stuff about things happening to people who do not visit the ‘three’ at the same time! We complied…and those spooky tales and the night descending with country roads…..it was thrilling zipping through the sparse traffic…. Hey I did enjoy the whole day……much much more than I expected :)

And now before I start writing a ‘chronicle’, lemme just end this post

I am Glad to be Back !!

I have been tagged this time by two people, Preeti and Abhinav and the best part is that it’s the same tag and the worst part is, that they both want me to remember things that I hate in life ….I really do not think that I hate 20 odd things in life... hate is too strong a word ....to be associated with so many things…

Anyways without much ado…here comes the list, top of my mind…

*I hate teachers who are not generous as teachers and take pleasure away from studying. Am sure some of you must have met such teachers ..

*I hate those who are sooo full of themselves; it’s a pain being in such company. And I rather be alone than be tortured …

*I dislike one sided cricket matches. I love cricket..but a match is not really worth jab tak ki har ball aur har run par dil na uchlee ;)

*I dislike when the net is down..its almost as if my heart starts skipping beats. I am serious..even during exams I chatted with 3 people atleast the night before.. :P

*I dislike when people complain and complain …comeon…get a life!! And waise bhi who said life is going to be fair…its unfair to all and that I think is FAIR !!

*I dislike it when it keeps raining and raining and raining…….Hey bhagu!! Reham karo is ‘sunshine’ girl par .

*I dislike when my folks feel lonely without us around and still put up a face to say all’s happy and nice…mujhe pata hota hai mamma ..

*I dislike when people just disappear from life…me guilt of the same and I know how it feels…wapas aa jao S, G, S And A.

*I dislike it when I have to get rid of so many of my books each time we shift…saari yaadein…and sitting and sifting through to see which of the memories are less precious than the other…murder. My people have preserved even my baby scribbles from the kindergarten :)

*I dislike it when people pluck flowers…I do not like it. Simple.

*I dislike when people pass personal judgments…aare kyun karte ho??

*I dislike getting up and not being happy…spoils the mood for the day.

*I dislike going to bed while angry or disturbed. Why let the sun set on one’s anger ??

*I dislike mugging up…am bad at it because I never tried to ‘learn’ mugging …and even now...people were mugging!!

*Why do my breaks, when I go home get over so quickly..I really dislike that :(

*I disliked one thing for sure…that was wearing ‘braces’.Yuck! That hurt. I used to miserable…

*I dislike the habit of throwing paper and wrappers 'any where, any time'....the world will turn into a giant garbage bin one day :(

*I dislike this genre of ‘couch philosophers’…I find them such hypocrites.

*I dislike ………..bas aaj aur kuch yaad nahin aa raha !!


Thankyou for providing me an opportunity to jot all that I ‘dislike’ and ‘hate’.

P.S : I googled 'hate,cartoon' ; Result is the above picture , it sure brought a smile .... :) :)
Calling names can be CUTE too :))

I am at the end of one phase of my life and it looks fine till now….and hopefully I will be myself and happy in the next phase too.

Its time to say adieu to my studentlife and begin a new chapter...I have done all the crazy things I wanted to do till now…for a peep ..Pure science till +2, Honours in English literature, MBA in marketing and finance and yes must confess too that I find finance very boring and confusing…maybe its because of the way it was taught to me..I would not say that any subject can be boring or difficult.

And now I am hoping that the corporate life does not take away all the ‘me’ in me and that I would remain myself and not be a misfit. Come to think of it I would like the change. Why does all ‘about- to- join’ have to hear the fundas of being a ‘teamplayer’ and ‘adaptability’, ‘common ambition’, ‘shared vision’…and all those high sounding words with such vague meaning…I fail to recall any more because I would hate Business Ethics classes….I do not hate ethics. I would plug my ears as I tried to hum songs to keep away all the nonsense …so you see today I do not have the benefit of recalling those super important words…now does that put me in a disadvantageous position…don’t regret it ..so do not care !

Now I was wondering if life is the same everywhere …talking about micro and macrocosm…I think I will have a good time..and even if I do not I will hum a song to myself and drown all the ‘music’ around me.

I am sleepy now and have a presentation lined up for tomorrow…and though I hate to say this I do not want to flunk any of my papers (read finance only) and so might just try to ‘study’ for the last time and will be away for a week….

Its been a long day today…..no it still was 24 hours as always but in terms of thoughts and moods a very very long day….I had an appointment at CSE, the same which gained a lot of publicity for its 'pesticide in coke report'…and it was an experience.

It was expected …a project on Social Marketing, A prearranged meeting with one of the top researchers in this field...our concern 'Yamuna'. The facts and figures are shocking..and that I think is a mild word..its unimaginable the amount of filth that is dumped in Yamuna in 22 km stretch in Delhi. I can go on with the facts and figures but that is not important..what is more important is the feeling, the uneasiness it brings to the cosmopolitan ME who has not spared a thought about the things so present around me yet are so invisible to my focussed eyes....Did I ever spare a thought about this river.....yes I did when in college..infact I think I was a more thinking and feeling person when in college then today when I simply think about my job posting, the wi-fi signal strength, the new book on the rack, the missed lecture, the complete indolent state (mind and body)......

And to add to the experience...since it was only a half day affair I decided to catchup on the movie RDB...and as has been a common reaction one is left with thoughts....and I was left with more than thoughts...I was also left with a Giant headache! It had something to do with the staccato sound effect in the latter portion, me craning and shifting in the uncomfortable front stall and having cried in some parts of the movie...all these effects but more than that I was reminded of my meeting at CSE.

I met this chap Bharat ,22 years, BA from London,........ cool guy,research assistant...and after talking about Yamuna and other important things (i had to glean as much as possible for my project) we just got chatting....... about things that are happening around us and the apathy we show and the consequence that we are facing and how it is only getting worse day by day....I have a cushy job offer, an MBA degree from a decent institute, have dreams and ambitions..will live and love life ...but i will spoil the environment and also care a damn about it.

No, I am pretty conscious about environment and other issues but yet I have done little about it..I can only hang my head in shame and restate that I have been a Comfortable exploiter of the resources..I fancy myself being socially aware, I see myself as a humanist and stand for equal right but have not spared even an hour when it came to volunteering work in the last two years.

Its just that these things strike our lifestyle-conditioned brains at random moments...and when it does ........I have a headache. I do not know wether I would be able to do justice to this feeling in me.......I know that I will not let this feeling die, its not just important to SAVE Yamuna...what is more important is to make a little difference to our own surroundings......there are people who are getting sensitised, getting aware, and we who have so much at our disposal only think about our disposable income....spare a thought while watching movies like RBD , Yuva etc..and some even spare little tears and when we come out of this popular media exhibition we spread the word... "nice one, do not miss it...." and then forget about it........

I have a good memory .......I will try and remember....

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

-- Bob Dylan

I have like any other kid played this game when a child and yes I still do play it during winter mornings while sitting in verandah and soaking the Sun. Now why I really like this game is because it never lets anyone get smug about getting to the top fast....one can get down equally fast and not to talk of some of those really long deadly snakes which leaves one just a few places short of the start, he he !! what fun it was to see others slide down the saanp....yes 'others' and then it was always so terrible to watch oneself with all the steadly made progress, backke from all the snakes and yet one roll lof the dice and, swoosh.........

I wouldn't mind bypassing the ladders if I could bypass the snakes too. But that's not the rule of the game...it's all in the stride. Actually there have been times when a player keeps waiting for the precious 'one' on the dice while others complete the game within no time. Its all so unpredictable.......just like life. We have to roll the dice and take whatever comes our way.

This game taught me never to be too happy about being ahead others and never feel too down for being so very far behind. Later in life I heard the same philosophy worded better, 'Success is neverending and failure never final.' And I think this game also taught me to remain balanced. Even today I see my kiddo friends look at me with such an 'about-to-cry' expression when they land on a square with a snake when about to reach the '100' spot....I know how bad it can feel and have felt so too...........but the lesson lasts for a life time.

Cheers Harsh!

I have been tagged for the FIRST time thanks to Preeti Bhandari jee , and this tag seems to be going aound in the blogger world real fast....catching innocent bloggers unaware is the prize one gets for putting up 8 different traits for their 'Puuurfect labher'.

• Rules:
  *The tagged victim has to come across with 8 different points for their perfect lover.
  *Need to mention the Sex of the target.
  *Tag other 8 victims to join this game and leave a comment on their blog telling them that they have been tagged.
  *If tagged for the second time, there is no need to post again.

Now going strictly by the meaning of the word..'Lover'...am not quite sure about what to put in for him.....but I will spare an 'introspection' for the perfect Mr. Right.

* The sex of the target: 'Definitely Male'.....does that remind anyone of a Bike??

* The traits, huh I have to come up with 8 ..... some task, is that too many or too less (you guessed it). I like leaving things fuzzy....heard of fuzzy logic..huh!

Trait 1. He should , no we should respect each other.

Trait 2. He should be fun, and not too uprightious about things but have an opinion none the less, so that I can have a counter opinion and then we can have discussions/arguments over it!! Comeon now ... its better to know both sides of arguments....and you all are welcome to add your opinions too ;-)

Trait 3. He should not be too tall or too fast. I would not like to look up to someone....and more importantly he should not look 'down' upon me...he he!! and 'fast'...well you see I would like us to walk hand in hand .... and not be catching up all the time :-)

Trait 4. Should love Family.......his, mine, and ours. No compromise here. Ahem!!

Trait 5. Should be secure in himself.....about me ,and about his choices. I somehow feel guys keep looking back to see if they have not commited too fast or too late. I would love him completely and would expect the same. He is allowed to 'look' at others as long as its only 'me' whom he 'desires'.

Trait 6. Should let me name 'our' kids. I have already thought up names you see....amd my di has told me she has thought of names for her kids too......there now I get to name only my 'creations'....sorry 'our' creations.

Trait 7. He should be ready to handle my 'jabber' mood, my pensive ones and my kiddy self and my ahem ... philosopher ones too...well I cannot leave for Himalayas when for all you know I will start craving for 'CN' in the next hour :-) I need a lot of TLC too!!

Trait 8. Well coming to Oxford meaning of 'Lover' ...... all I will say is ... sensuous and fun. And thats all I will say........ :P

Here finally I have made my list........and I did introspect people......for exactly 23 minutes while I searched for the Image and typed in the traits. Whats your take now??

I really do not think there is anyone left who have not been tagged already......so I will bypass the 'victims' part....... lolz

Last word: My image of family bliss.......the last scene of 'Notting Hill'.

I am in the fag end of my education marathon with just a couple of months left….and today I am reminded of all my seven alma amateurs who have seen me grow right from prep to my MBA. There are some people whom I am reminded of today who made a lot of difference in my life……..and the first name that comes to my mind( today as always) is that of Ms. D’Cruz.

She was my class teacher when I was in Loreto Convent in Asansol. And I was in class V ‘A’. We at Loreto had the luxury of having individual libraries in each class room. In order to encourage us to read more Ms. D’Cruz made it compulsory for us to take books from the cupboard and read it at leisure the only catch being we had to be ready to recite the story once we returned the book.

All fine. Arpita brings back a “Famous Five” book, she is asked to narrate the story. And Arpita enthralls the class with a story of five children in a boat (that was on the hard bound cover) and how they get washed on a lonely island and the magic tree, and a talking spider there and the fairies and treasure and what fun it was to be on that island……

We all are completely hooked. Complete silence. I gave up reading Amelia Jane and Grimm’s Fairy tale to lay my hand on “Famous Five”. Back home I started reading the book….no fairies….halfway…no signs still. But the story was none the less gripping…..it was an adventure….and I loved the ending. What baffled me then was, ‘How could Arpita tell us all a fake story….’

And today when I look back I admire the genius of that lady with swarthy complexion who wore a dress and had tight curly hair , who not only restrained from correcting Arpita , but encouraged her talent for story telling and saved her face while the rest of the class got hooked to a different genre of book by chance…..(me atleast) !!



And then it was she who told me when I was leaving Loreto exactly one year later that she would like me to carry the reputation of Loreto where ever I went. That means a lot to a sixth grader….such trust and confidence. I always remained her little girl…a Loreto girl.

My Papa says it best; she always gave him just one instruction, ‘Give her books, give her more books….’

That has become a habit today and shall always be my companion….my books. Ms. D’ Cruz I was blessed to have been in your class.

I am sure some of us would like to keep those songs not just in our hearts but also on our laapy.....sure thing, I have been able to compile a list of websites and links where the time stops .........Thankyou everyone for keeping the spirit alive.......especially..Arjun prabhu, and Kishore balakrishnan....Thanks a lot guys.

P.S: I have tried my best .. and if i have left out some..my memory failed me ;).

I remember the first time i cried when i came to Delhi for my gradution was when i read mamma's letter..... i did not cry while leaving home, neither on the telephone .. but that one letter broke my defense....i still have the letter with me ... words smudged with tears. Those things are precious ..not like the e-cards that expire in 15 days.....
And i bet many of us will remember that NCERT song........about "Ek Anek"...... 'suraj ek , chanda ek..taare anek' . Nostalgia.

I am having fun at home…..and apart from the yum food, kisse kahani, lots of pyar ..et al, what I also look forward to is catching some time before the idiot box. Cumon now guys, this TV has been a ‘boxy’ member of my family for eight long years…….;-)
So what I caught up on was ESPN, Star Gold, Star World and CN!........CN has always been one of my favorites( at least some of them);-)
Hear this……Squirky ( a baby spider) has to run his first ever race and mamma spider has promised all her babies to be present for their respective events ….Cool ! except that they all happen simultaneously.
Squirky is waiting at the start line and no sigh of mamma…the whistle blows … and he keeps waiting .
- ‘ Mamma promised to come for the race’
# ‘ Maybe she is waiting at the finishing line’
- ‘ Really!’
Weeee……………..!!!!
Squirky wins the race. Mamma is unable to make it to the race. Baby is disappointed.

- ‘ Did you try to come..’
# ‘ Yes..’
- ‘ Okay! ……. J J’

It warms my heart to know such simple love and such sweet emotions. CN I will always remain young at heart. Half Ticket!

i am so happy i have been able to finally get a blog baby of my own........lovely.And now i will start customising it soon...this baby is dedicated to three people...Vivek, Ricky and Sans.
