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 ….
