Sumthing to ponder about

I'v meant to write on it for quiet some time....but i havn't had d resources to....computer n internet i mean...while at home....now taht i am at work....i have the liberty to write...

I have just like everybody else experienced the ghastly ordeal of the mumbai bomb blasts, although not a part of it but as some one who was affected by it. To begin with, the terrorists may have had an ulterior motive but i failed to understand what gave them satisfaction more killing innocent people or the smell of RDX??? My heart goes out to the families who have lost their loved one's in the massacre that is what i call it....something that looked like just out of the English films....for example the Die Hard films.

People standing outside in anticipation, the uncalled for media frenzy, glamourisation of the most minute happening, really got my blood boling!!! What is responsible journalism? Letting out secret operations in the open? Disclosing whereabouts so that there could be more distruction or then actually scaring the wits out of families that have their near n dear one's holed up inside. I mean, look at the sorry state of affairs! No doubts, kudos to those brave NSG commandos who rescued these innocent lives but plaese let them do their job...just like u n i do sitting in our offices...they do it out on the field....do not plague them and irritate the day lights out of them people.....just take a moment n think of the lost lives n the void they leave behind.....

Hey....loong time ago....

I get to write again....yipeee :-) that too from office!! Thats the only solace i seek at the moment:-( I just got a job, exactlt 3 days back....n i begin to crib again...n why not? we r workin on x-mas n new years.....how bad is dat?? Ok, x-mas nahi toh at least a leav on the 1rst ya :-( after a long nite on the 31st...dragging your self to office will be quiet a task.....

At this note, i'd like to take a moment out n think of the past weeks...where i was sitting at home...complaining that i have nuthin to do- wat a waste? N now when i got work...i still have sumthin to cry abt my holidays!!! duh??? God, what have you made us human's for?? Always complaining!! I am sure thats exactly what he thinks....I try my best to change dis bit about myself...not to crib, complain but i don't stop...do i??

Life has taken a 360 degree change for me...but i am still so stuck up...dat i fail to see what i have..i have a loving husband, caring parents, concerned frnds and at the moment well paying job...so what am i whining for? Make hay while the sun shines..gal :-)

Now Mrs Parmar :-)

Hey I am back....n boy do i have a lot to say :-0

Yesss....Now I am married :-) and I am in delhi...for so long i wrote all about delhi n how scared I am to be there...but here I am in a cyber cafe all by myself wondering what is it that I am missing....it was writing...writing my blog....

I have a lot to write and I do not know where to begin...should I begin with the Great Punjabi Wedding :-) Or the Honeymoon....or the very fact that for some strabge reason i havn't found a job....n i am a housewife....

Hmmm...life has taken a turn for good at the moment...i am Happy...but at the back of my mind the eternal question rings loud n clear...I DO NOT HAVE A JOB AS YET!! Sad huh? Yes i guess, you will not understand the void untill you are actually unemployed....you have nuthing to do besides sit at home n whine....hmmmm...i may sound morose on that....but what makes me smile at the end of the day is my hubby.....he comes back home tired...but manages to bring all the funny tactics with him....so i guess i do not mind waiting up till 1 am for him :-)

Last Day at Work

Hmmm....I guess its that time of your life when you feel nostalgic, a tad bit sad and also weird....because now I am officially exiting from my first job :-)

Yes, today is my last day at work....which means i officially am writing my last blog :P
After today I will be at home....preparing each day for my wedding :-0
Surrounded by all at home...do this, do that....don't do this n so on....

What i will miss....is the typing kat..kat...kat..kat....
sidey hindi songs in office
:-)
And some quarrels in team members....n me having a hearty laughter.....
Free treats at some poor souls cost :P n a lot of office gossip...hehehe...lots rite?

That mite also be coz this is the first ever office job i held for a good two years...there were busy days, very busy days n extremely slow days when i had no work to do.....

My last thots for the office are...sum gud days have just gone by :-)


This may be my last blog....for at least some time...but will keep posting as and when i have time :-)

Am i exhausted!!

I dunno the past few days have been particularly tiring...although i do not remember doing anything that is tiring :P I maybe tired cos my mind is working overtime...I am always thinking, i am not thinking then i am reading stuff...dat is worth a thought :-) Is there ever a condition where you cease to think....i doubt none. I wonder how it will be if i have to lie down n think of nothing but space!! Duhh??? Where did that come from? Hhaha...this is a good example...even if i am not thinkin productive then i am thinkin crap...hehehe....but seriously I want to find dat one passion in me that can make me do what i always feel strongly about...dat one thing that i am unconsciously passionate about....i am still to discover dat part of me...

If in all these years u do not know urself well...i wonder how it'll be to discover someone else?? Here I go again....sumthin more to think about :-)

Never Plan...

If in these 25 years of my life I have learnt anything...anything at all....NO! Its not wisdom :-) There is still time for that....I have agreed on one aspect- NEVER PLAN! Trust me...planning and expecting a thing to happen or work out for you may never happen. Like all say expectations can kill any relationship, i believe it holds true for any fortunate happening. I have noticed for the most insignificant thing in life as well, you need not plan as it will not happen the way you want it. Things happen out of their own will or lets put it as God's will. To cite an example, although a silly one....but anywas i am gona say it...the other day i really really wanted to have potato wafers...sum generous soul in the office (dat happens quiet often) decided to treat us to sum tea time snacks. I kept saying wafers wafers n thot that she would order for the same.

While the office boy left to get all the snacks...i kept thinkin to myself that finally i get to have wafers, to add to my silly ideas...i even kept aside a piece of paper on which i would take out sum wafers and eat, enjoying each morsel....

When the office boy came I quietly looked over my cubicle and smiled, to see what?? He had got dhokla!! I hate dhokla by the way!!

I kno it sounds silly but...all i understood was that there is no point in dreamin n hopin for sumthin to happen as you wish...because you may or may not get it....n you will not like it!! So to avoid any disappointments, do not think abt anything...just let things happen n take its course- at the end, there is barely anything you can do to change it..then y tax your Grey matter so much....live one moment at a time!!

Inspiration

As you travel through life,
your dreams will guide you,
determination will get you there,
and love will provide the greatest scenery of all.


I was going through some quotes today n dis really caught my attention....looking at it...it feels so true someone...somewhere is waiting for you :-) hahaha...i am sorry it was rhyming...so i liked it....heehehehe

Hey...where did that come from?

Just yesterday...i got a chat request from an unknown person...i said yes out of sheer curiosity...The name suggested that it was a girl and it turned out to be a boy!! Before, you roll your eyes n wonder...what is d big deal? Here it is....I did not know this guy, I did not hav any idea how he got my mail id....I did not want to chat with him unless I knew these details and so i insisted...so then came out the truth...I work as a freelancer once in a while, so i was in contact with an office colleagues frnd...although we must have spoken just once or so.....he had my id..n surprise surprise, he had given my id to this girlish named guy ...:P He told him i am a nice gal....hey, who told u that? I am a SB when i have to be :P So my guess is as good as yours...he was LONELY N WAS LOOKIN AT MAKIN FRNDS!! Duhhh....n u think i needed dat at this hour? huh? Nonetheless, i smelt a rat, n let him know dat dude I am taken...expression priceless!!! ??? :-) hahaha...so much for wrong timing....thank god, he seemed normal n took it in his stride, did not want FRAANDship from me :P heehehe

Wen i say nuthin at all

There are many days...just like today...when i feel this void within me, I do not know what it is all about..maybe I am missing out on something and I am not aware what...but words seem to elude me today else I could really go on n on...one reason may be that it is hot in here....Internet is playing hide n seek for quite sum time now, so its kinda frustrating....i am looking forward to this weekend hoping sumthin comes out of it that is fun!!

Oh...dis dealing with a man...

I kno, i kno...i am not even married n i am already complaining...but hey i really never had to deal with the man one on one...

Blunders....

Ooh...i regret doing this and i wish i had not done it! There is a long list of blunders i can state....

Begins with my foot n mouth disease...i just fail to think before i speak.

1. I go n spill the beans to the wrong person...n he/she reacts with harsh actions...may not be on me but will involve my name.
2. I send wrong text msgs in a hurry to a person x wen they were meant for y, but refers to x, usually passing a sad or nasty comment.
3. I send a masti sms with words like darling or sumthin...n d frnds wife reads it never to forgive me....save me :-(
4. I tell my beau sumthin abt his mom may not be bad....n he decides to discuss it with her....she sure will be furious
5. I tell my sister sumthin n d matter travels to my parents.....putting me in the spotlight!!
6. Office is a wrong place for passing comments people do not take it well n so u r always in trouble!
7. Tell ur frnds abt a personal issue n they later question u abt it!!


I am workin on improving all this as well abt me :-(

Does your day start this way?

Hmm...when you wake up the first thing you hear are that there are no lights (thanks to the power cuts)you head to freshen up and discover water supply is going to say bye as well, you are forced to bathe in a hurry. You walk out of the bathroom and are about to have your breakfast n there is no salt!! You get ready for work, there is no petrol still rush to work, the moment you walk through the door and enter your office....do you hear your colleagues complain of pest control measures in the office? If your answers are YES!! Then you are having a normal day really :-) when you do not have any thing happening life gets boring....so find ways to irritate yourself...you won't like it momentarily but then will enjoy those times as well.

Have you seen that advertisement on T.V, muft ki advise sab dete hain....u did? Then you will know what i mean. Really, there has to be a moment where you begin to harp on a new life all together and you have people from all walks of life advising you. Now, that i am getting married I have everybody advising me, colleagues, neighbors, relatives and sumtimes frnds. To tell you the truth, it does not fall on deaf ears, i do patiently listen, but will i won't i decide to listen is something that i will have to figure out soon. I can not foresee what I am going to be doing, 3 months from now or whatever...all i know is that as an adult i need to grow from strength to strength. That is how i see this phase in my life as....

But that does not deter people from scaring me with possibilities, consequences, dreading incidents and worse case scenarios. Guys gimme a break! If you can not encourage me...do not try n discourage me either....bcos it does not help the cause. You are only adding to my crazy thought process this is not helping....come up with better ways to advise plsssss.... to end this post on a positive note how is this.....

Hum honge kaamyab
hum honge kaamyab
hum honge kaamyab, ek din....
ho ho mann mein hai vishwas...pura hai vishwas
hum honge kaamyab, ek din

:-)

Ok I am back :-)

This has been a consious sabbatical from my usual writing...blog writing :-) Like i said i loose interest in what i do tooo soon so wanted 2 get back with sum vengence here :P Why was that? Here is sum news flash u can use :-)

News Flash: I AM GETTING MARRIED :-)

I wonder if that is good news for many. But hey, I am marrying sumone i love and dat makes my world go round. I would love to share what i feel at the moment....so ladies n gentlemen lend me ur ears :-p ( i just lov Shakespeare) I assume I am standing on the rooftop...with a microphone in my hand :P

Me as a would be bride:

1. I am happy
2. I am jittery
3. Anxiety at its peak
4. The suspense of tomoro
5. Well, Committed for Life!! Ain't that difficult???

I have so much on my mind....I am goin to travel along with my would be to BIG BAD DELHI.....eeow...I wish I could change that God...but I guess when you love someone, you want to be with him/her...as d case maybe and soo give up on what matters to you the most...I do not wana leave home but I am preparing myself each day and....soon will be a married woman :-)

Coming to peace with oneself!

Lately, I have come to realize that there may never be a better way to come to peace with oneself than to actually face reality. There are times we feel down and out, complain that we are not getting what we want....but something that has struck me right now is that we have the power to control certain things in life, n wen you do have that kind of power use it!! Don't let any opportunity slip away take it up and see the difference, you never know what an opportunity can do to change your life! We complain that we have no work to do in office/school....then do something abt it- take up other small work! It helps you remain productive and occupied in mind and thoughts. So the next time you say you do not get something, figure out what can you do to make it work in your favor...you will be surprised to see the results....trust me!!

Yipeee!!

I went to 11 East street cafe finally! Aw sum food n even better atmosphere :-) I think a romantic dinner would be the ideal way to celebrate a private moment together there....I had a taste of SHEESHA there....strawberry flavor....i am happy i tried to do something new and quite liked it. On the whole this weekend was one of its kinds...well readers after all that pining i am sure you would agree i deserved that break...wat say? :D You know what i realised that all of us get what we want but in its own sweet time....so the next time you feel jittery about something not going your way...take a minute to think that you will achieve what you want but with a lil heart breaking delay...but does that stop you from pursuing what you want? NO!! Instead, believe in your convictions and you will be on the top of the world!! I am on the top of the world looking down on creations and the only explanation that i found- is the love that i found...ever since you have been around, your lov's put me on the top of the world!! That is the song of the day :-)

I am happy!!

When you happy and you know it claps your hands...1, 2 when you happy and you know it and you really want to show it when you happy n u kno it claps your hands!! Remember, the nursery rhyme? Well, for some reason it has been reeling in my head at the moment...n i feel cool. If you are wondering why that picture...its my my desktop background at the moment and looking at it is giving me a sense of calm.....i dunno if all are aware blue happens to be the colour that signifies a passive n calm composure,so if you have like blue since long....it speaks a lot of your character...n yes..thats colour therapy, your character can be judged by the colour you use often...similarly, red stands for aggression,white stands for serenity, pink for sweet thoughts! As of now i feel blue...wat abt u? (wow, dat is rhyming:-) )

Eeow..i hate to admit it but i am getting really annoyed at work no major work although but so full of shallow feelings...i can not begin to describe how monotonous life feels suddenly....less work, bad pay scales, nagging work surroundings and an even more agonizing personal thought process...what say? It pays to be a part of the big bad world of materialistic wants....u want money you hav to wait...u want love, u have to wait for almost eternity!!! Hey, gimme a break man! Y all dis? Let some good times come my way plssssss

Off late

For starters, I want to take a break n go for a holiday, with no botherations, second, i wana visit 11 East Street cafe...my dearest Nasa has bin raving abt :-) third, want to just sleep peacefully :-) is that too much o ask for Dear Lord :-) Are u listening, boss?

My Friends!

Well...everybody has friends, Everybody loves their friends soooo I also love my friends( surprised?) Friends are like a breather when you need to get out of sum mess, they help you think fast ...and in my case they help channelizing my thoughts really! I make friends easily because I am an approachable character and when at that I like meeting new people...BUT kahani mein twist hai ;-) only i decide who will remain with me for a long long time. Yep, dats rite! I keep changing my mind about everything so it is the same wit my frnds, sum days i am completely off them and sum days I want to meet them :-)whoa...dats sum brainstorming i did all in a minute, my mind is filled with visuals of all those memories. Coming back to the point... OK,let me begin with a head count- how many FRIENDS do i really have? 1,2,3,4,5.....10....Not bad! 10, people in my life I can count on when I am down and out! All of them hold a special place in my life one gives me a positive attitude lesson towards life, while the other helps me solve my problems, one makes for my fun pal, one becomes my teacher, while the other is a colleague! You can clearly see why they mean so much to me irreplaceable yet so similar. I meet a lot of people n call them frnds, but they just remain 'acquaintances' at the end of the day.....it remains to be seen how many remain till the end..

Appraisal!!! The Demon

Hey...wondering Why?? I say that because I have the appraisal sword hanging over my head...see i know it means a meager increment in salary BUT what comes with it is a whole lot of discussion. With who? Big Daddy, of course!! Big Daddy who you ask...our dear boss :-) You got to sit across the table, talk about every issue under the office roof:-) Why you came late that day? TO you talk a lot in office (incidentally I do :-) ) See, I feel a little jittery but am not totally scared, I know what is gonna cum my way today! I have to go with a brave face, sit with confidence and ACT smart...hehehe..let me begin describing this feeling- I am experiencing palpitations, I have cold feet, my heart is racing at the speed of light.....i also know that as soon as i enter the room it'll be different but as of now can't help peening down...this thought....after my appraisal is done will tell you what I do......

ANGER management!!

Awwwh....I can not help penning this down...I am so so angry actually BOILING is the word!! Half of my anger can be attributed to the fact that I am a Leo ( Fire Sign) and when i get angry, i don't mean to brag but i actually boil, i can actually feel my blood rushing all inside me.....Well, what makes me angry? Lots of things- I am basically intolerant to non compliance to my wishes :-) Hey i just managed to smile there!! NO, that is true, I am most upset when i don't get what i want and when i want it.....that is all thanks to my dad that he always gives in to my whimsical and insignificant wants, so what is happening basically now is that i expect the same from all. I want all the attention (that i believe i truly deserve) just the way i give mine to others. If you ask me in today's context – I am referring to this one certain muse of mine, n as of now don't want to name. Why don't people consistently maintain their behaviour? I mean, one day you are all sweet and all and the next you do not have time enough to spare and talk!! So now i am angry:-( How do i manage my anger? Not surprisingly, I am at my destructive best, give me something to break and i vent out my wrath (it helps me) calm down.

How do you manage your anger?

Amit Uncle

Hey I was reading Amit uncle's blog! Amit uncle! :-0 Amitabh Bachchan! Poor guy, no body spares him for all the modesty he exuberates. Imagine he has started this blog, to basically reply back to all the adverse comments made against him and his family.His way of getting back at all the nasty remarks made...and here you have crazy fans going gaga over him, praising him.....basically hero worshipping...n from no where there is a pathetic fan who asks him for 4 millions!! And has the audacity to tell him that this amount is a just a fraction from what you have earned, if you give me this money i will be rich!! My God ya, people please grow up! How disgusting is that? HE is just an actor...not GOD who will grant your frivolous and whimsical desires! HE is a living legend agreed, but i wonder if he can really tackle all these crazy fans? I notice this especially in us Indians, we seem to have all the time to waste on senseless activities like these.

Lazing around

This weekend has actually been very different from the other weekends I have ever experienced.Why you ask? Hey cos I got to laze around and do nothing at all. Seriously, all i did was eat, sleep and watch t.v....believe me you, i am not kidding! Every weekend goes by with family, going out to visit someone, sometimes my own friends or then plain busy cos sumbody came home. But you know what? This felt so much more better, doing nothing and the best is I had nothing to think about also, in terms of some deeper thoughts (yes, i do THINK....sometimes) Typical questions being- What am i doing? Am i doing the right thing? Where is my life heading? ohhhh...all that! BUt I was chilled out for a change...something else i concluded from a very relaxing day like this, i want to be busy in life, in that busy schedule one odd day off like that is a blessing!! Cherish it :-0

haahaha!!

No I have not gone mad AS YET!! Surprised? lol....actually i have been humming this tune all day- No Body wants to be lonely, nobody wants to cryyyy....don't ask me why? Cos i do not know....I have always loved saying crazy things and being crazy feels as though in my blood- (sorry daddy)hahahahee...That reminds me, where is this dude Ricky Martin? He looked great in his videos(rite gals ;-)) This song that i am humming is his hit with Christina....i did'nt like the video!

Filmomania!

Ha...ha...its a new epidemic that has struck me :-) Seriously, guys if you remember my previous posts where i have mentioned that I do like films but am definitely not sooooooo crazy to catch one everyday...but guess what somethings changed! Yep!! I have been watching a movie every other day this week,surprised? :-) One reason i could do is cos i am home alone (a breather for me ) second very good reason is dude, i am not paying to watch it!!! haha...sound like a cheapskate :-) ok, there is a kind colleague of mine who is helping me on my mission to watch films (mission, duh?? ) He gets me all movies I want to watch on a pen drive!! Yep, i sit watching them on my PC...like i said the idea is to be able to watch the film, screen size really does not matter to me :-) I saw Music& Lyrics yesterday (Drew Barrymore n Hugh Grant) gals u drooling already :-) The movie was kinda ok...but i like this song...I thought I'll never lose my heart again but then POP goes my haert :-)

Tearful Adieu....

This is one of those days when I am really feeling philosophical. Well, this sudden introspection is because I lost my close family member just yesterday. And what a day it was- The day began harping a new year as per the Punjabi calender (Baisakhi) and we were moving on with the flow. When all of a sudden the phone rings, its my uncle from Dubai (all my uncles are in Dubai) and he broke the news to my mother (she happens to be the eldest in the family and these are her brothers) My mother's world came stumbling down, for a split period of 15 mins she went ballistic with a whole lot of emotions. I did not know what to do I was paranoid, I was shocked that what if something happened to her in the mood that she was..with her sheer sense of courage she gathered her calm and came back to normalcy. But all this happened and I am so shaken up that- My God, life is so short and there is so much to do....what i learnt was live in the moment and for the moment, there is no looking back. Some things are meant to be that you can not change, but what you can do is act on the moment...we think so much and ultimately let time slip away. Time for one is not the same, so act on it when it prevails, because there is no point in regretting it later. You want to tell someone how you feel, say so right now because who knows kal ho na ho!

Phillum Buffs

Aree...boss I am trying so so hard to develop a liking for films of all kinds but talk about having no means to do so :-( Just today I told my friends i wana watch U, Me aur Hum...but nobody can come to watch the movie with me cos i want to go pretty early ya....becos its cheap! My God,watching a film has become an expensive affair man...170 bucks you pay for the tickets, of course by the interval u are starving and wish to quench your thirst or just have sum delicious caramel pop corn n bang u burn a hole of 300bucks flat!! So if you are on a date then 500 it is...eeow..U know wat i think, i can wait for it to come on cable and save my money :-0 People in office laugh at me but its cool ya...I am atleast saving! NO harm as long as I manage to catch the film right? Entertainment at any time is good :-)

Ye Pyar kya hota hai?

Hahaha...sounds funny rite? Well, a very inquisitive colleague always seems intrigued by this simple question :-) Yes, your read alrite...i said simple!! See, love has its own phases in its lifetime. Had you asked me this question 5 years back...i would have said pyar dosti hai (kuch kuch hota hai, style :-0 ) But hey i have seen and heard of turbulent love affairs...some reach their happy ends (that is being together) while others part ways. My personal opinion about love is that 'One should grow in love' i absolutely detest the phrase falling in love cos if you fall you can never get up and walk together. You grow to love one another, you like and yearn for companionship and that significant other in your life is expected to fill in the void you were carrying all along. It is beautiful when you learn to accept it as it...DO NOT CHANGE anything about yourself or your partner else the very essence of love is lost.,..Dear readers please give me your views :-)

Gossip Mongers!

If u ever thought, u did not know how to play the chinese whispers, then fear not all you got to do is spill the beans in an office cubicle. Well, the fastest way for a news to spread in a medium sized office is to tell a close confidant the news and then wait for a day to pass by...n viola....u hear the same story with a new twist. And u know what? You may not necessarily like it..lies n betrayal are two virtues that i do not possess in particular but it is very evident in the crowd i am forced to be with. For the life of me i wish i could be somewhere else...wher i could just freak out n hav fun...do simple stuff n b happy!

Remind me...

God...I almost forgot! We were talking about my favorite things in life n see I completely forgot to mention it! I am telling you lately my conversations are getting as confused as me, seriously! Ok..to tell you the truth sometimes i feel like I am being interviewed by a prospect groom- What are your hobbies? Do you like movies?Hey....I like watching films but only of a certain genre called romantic comedies- Like: The father of the bride, My best friends wedding, Yess Boss or a typical romantic film like DDLJ. I despise period films n action flicks, they may be brilliant but 'NOT MY TYPES':-) I rather laugh n cry a lil then be floored by computer generated action, Eeeow makes me dose off man!! :-0 What I enjoy the most is chit-chatting, dats something that I cannot live without, friends, colleagues or even the neighbors,you will never find me quite for toooooooo long (raed an hour...MAX) BUT there is something i don't like about myself-My awful mood swings....ya dat happens all the time with me...now i am happy, n the next moment I am upset about sumthing, but it is always significant!!

Yo Baby !!

My lil nephew has finally called me -MASI:-) simple word yessss...but holds a lot of meaning for me...thats becos ever since he began...babbling he said everything-mumma, papa....aaba, nana...but not masi. I sang the word to him, tried to use it in every sentence i say hoping that he would pick up the rhyming at least but NO!! He wouldn't say it instead would just fill the room with his innocent smiles. Sometimes i would get really disheartened and felt that he did all that on purpose to make me run behind him....that i say cos i saw it on his face n impish smile is all that he gave me whenever he was requested to say Masi.....but my lucky day happened to be the 29th of March when i get a call on my cellphone at night, its his father's number and i got a lil jittery as to what happened, n to my surprise when i call i hear my lil baby say Masi, oh...it was beautiful, i can not begin to describe my joy....he kept saying it, he kept shouting and all i could do is thank him and laugh my way back to bed!! :-)

Short n sweet weekend

You know what is most annoying about being employed? It is the fact that we can not do as we please and can not 'bunk' office as often as you would like to. College was soooooo much more fun ya. College came to my mind almost instantly, more so cos i met my college best frnd yesterday. We met at coffee day,boy!!that place is really noisy now...i mean young college crowd all gathered out there to create an annoying cacophony! For me coffee day meant a quite conversation with my friend, will all the noise did not stop me either- I went on n on with my story while she gave me a patient hearing...she out of all is my most trusted n adored friend(my advisor)She n i both complained of good ol days when hanging out together was all we did under the pretext of college n classes, with work all weekend we barely get to do what we like. By the way, we both unanimously agree that dancing is something we would want to pursue-Salsa....i wana dance again:-)

Bring it on.......

Hey...today something funny happened, well, not exactly funny, more like 'Not Again' types! Let me start with a lil info on me- I belong to the land of paratha's with an idli sambhar upbringing!! -What?? Confused? Don't be - I am punjabi kudi ya....simple but thanx to my mixed parentage-that happens to be a mix of South Indian (mom) & Punjabi(dad) I look like a 'madrasi' !! Awww...how i hate it!! So, I have practically grown up on comments like-Oh!! (surprised) U r a punjabi? U look like a Southie!! I have gone mad telling people the secret behind my pure looks(sarci huh) :-) When i start my short (read loooooong) conversations my hindi spills the beans, I sound like a punju i mean.....but hey i don't look like one (how bad is that) Identity crisis!! Help!! :-) So out of all the comments today somebody declared I look like a Bengali!!! Duuuuh...what?? Yep!! I suddenly look like a bengali....will someone please define a punjabi gal....cos i wana look like one!!! :-0

My Favouritessss

I have a long list of likes and dislikes...almost like everyone else but distinctly belongs to me is my fickle mindedness. Yep...people change their mind on the count of 100 and I do the same in 10 :-0 Not bad huh....really, I can not have a constant choice....today I like a film like While you were sleeping tomorrow I am going to be in awe of Dus Kahaniyan...probably (it really can be anything, that catches my fancy) I happens to my friends a lot...today i feel closest to this particular college friend but tomorrow I find comfort in the words of an office colleague. I am sure you noticed, I can start a topic lets say with A and I have managed to reach some other topic all together....Never mind, thats me....nothing in life is constant, not even your thought process so why should you? Rite? I must admit, I get sum pleasure n thrill in watching WWF ( very masculine,na) but hey it makes me laugh...so why not?? I rather watch a fake fight than waste my time on 'laughter challenges'..naah!! Waste of time....will continue more on this...read on guys

He's sooooo cute

The light of my life is my little one and a half year old nephew! Ever since he was born he has brought out this sense of happiness in me. I must admit I was very very excited with the thought that this lil bonny boy is the first born in our family and also that somewhere deep down i secretly like lil baby boys. In him i see a lot of me, not only does he have some similar facial features but also some of my most talked of characteristics.... To begin with he is a good observer and an equally good mimic :-0 He can observe your actions for 5 minutes and then act just like you- that is too good for a 2 year old. He n I enjoy similar type of music- by that i mean good dance numbers and yess above all this he is an affectionate child :-) God bless my lil sweetheart :-)

Holi haaaaiiiiiiiiiii.....

Happy Holi......but let me tell u-Smita Kohli never plays holi....hahaha....this has been my favorite line every year when its time to celebrate holi...honestly, i love all the masti that comes along with it, but i HATE to get drenched in color (personally). Conveniently, I always stood hiding behind the curtain in my balcony and everytime a kid came to play...i would quickly throw a bucket full of water, n those lil rogues enjoyed every bit of the surprise, pleading for more!! N it goes without saying...the sweets really make me go weak in my knees...people say, they have a sweet tooth- i say i have a sweet JAW!!! hahaheeee.....guys who diet, all my sympathies are with you man, how can you stay away from all these?? If I were to be born again I would want to be a sweet mart owner :-0 wat say? easy access

Don't pull things...

Have you noticed rubber, after being stretched for too long assumes its original position but only that now it has become too loose. Well, I just realized the same you whine n pine...what is the use? Things don't change and instead you end up feeling miserable yourself. So who feels hurt a the end of all this- you!! So resolve to yourself that you do not want to be like this and do something about it. Think positive!!

Where do u go......

For some reason, I have been humming this tune all day- Where do you go? My lovely...probably stands for my state of mind...I feel so lost! Hey bring on the humor, joy and satisfaction- where art thou my most prized virtues :-0 feel like I am groping for hope in the dark but to no success. C'mon life can be bad but so dull!! please let this not remain for too long, Dear Lord coz i don't like it too much n want to get on with some good stuff man! I mean whatever happened to the yipee...yipee days, they passed by...lovey dovey days that said bye with a sweet flying kiss and now I am back to square one.

Life on a trail

There are up's and there are down's...but there are days and months when life reaches a plateau! Well, I think I have just hit rock bottom....alright! But something in me tells me this will not last for too long either.Thats because with me good days never last for too long, its short so when God does not let good days stay, I am sure he will take these away too. Life needs a drastic change in place, in work and personal life. When will that happen? Good question- Wait n watch

Move over GOA!!

I am happppppppppyyyy :-) ok, I had this most amazing weekend at Aakshi this Saturday. Aakshi is a beach ahead of Alibaug, almost like a maroon island (for the romantic :-P) And believe me if you thought you missed goin to Goa this year then Aakshi is just where you want to be. Beautiful trees, the serene waters, high tide at noon....its awesome! We stopped at this little inn, called Samudra Darshan, they served some good seafood at reasonable rates, a small room to change, hammocks to relax, an ideal sea facing room and a great place to unwind....guys try this place!!

Talking it out

Well, talking it out may sometimes prove to be a boon to your state of mind. Try it! Give yourself enough space to feel frustrated or irritated, go ahead and feel morose but rite then let a friend help you....yes, open up to someone. It can be anybody, a colleague/ college frnd any body. Just let all the pent up pressure come out and then you will feel far more relieved. Look, there are good days and bad, but now when good days never stay so will the bad pass away, learn to accept life as it is. Make it your mantra, n feel the difference.

Always be prepared for the worse!!

OK!! Sometimes ( in my case) all the time.....you are faced with days that you did not expect things to happen to you...but they do. Always remember that looking forward to something may not lead to desired results, you end up feeling miserable and upset. One is forced to believe that what does God have in mind for me, why do i always have to make these adjustments? There are no answers to these....you are to just play along with this sad music of life. Today, out of all days was not to be so bad, I should be excited but I don't know what it is that stopping me from being the real 'ME', lets just pray one does not lose being himself/herself to adversities. Looking forward may help, but beware that may irritate you more. So just slow down the pace and remain in isolation- that should do the trick ( for the time being)

Plans come crashing down!

I believe that things are best accomplished when you plan for them. But you know what i realized the more you plan, you run a greater risk of falling flat on your face. I mean, you waste all your thoughts, energy and time trying to plan ahead and then things do not go as planned....the disappointment that comes along with it is sooo huge that well most of the time you forget looking at the good things that are waiting in line to come true. Moral of the story- Let this not spoil your mood, you can get past it! Keep the faith :-)

You are not alone!

Its time to shut down, your computer at work and leave but i feel like penning down few words, that have changed my day...there is a tune that keeps ringing in my head at this moment- You are not alone...la.lalala.
It is strange but very true,that sometimes you may not feel so left out in this big bad world of negativity. I always end up thinking -Why me? Whenever anything goes wrong, things don't go as planned or as you expect them to....but hey look around.So many people around you so many stories, each of them touch you in a very special way- Sometimes I feel wise suddenly when I compare people all around, we all have our own different ways of handling a situation, a problem to be more specific. But I am so much like a part of this maddening crowd, I am not suffering in isolation..I will learn to survive...hey dats another tune- I will survive....ooohh...ooohhh :-)

Film Deeewane

Filmfare awards have always been my favorite when given a choice from among the dozen award functions held in Bollywood these days. These awards have their own charm no doubt, being the oldest form of awards in apna Bollywood. What made them most special this time around is the fact that they had an entertaining pair to host the show....Yess, King Khan along with the cheeky new romeo on the block (Saif Ali Khan) made for a hit jodi. What I liked the most was definitely their sense of humor with a tinge of sarcasm (dats my kinda humor) :-)

Well, for the ladies , I think Vidya Balan was a big let down, somebody please ask her to get in touch with the mirror -ASAP!! Seriously, shes got to do something for her atrocious make-up and costumes. No wonder it got her the Na-real awards for best wardrobe malfunction, get the hint gal :-) Kareena's award did not come as a surprise because she deserved every bit of it and little Darsheel thankfully got his share of well deserved limelight. So that almost wraps the entire show me....What do you have to say?

What are you thinking, right now?

Hey..sitting in office all day, wondering what boss has in store for you!! Feels monotonous what can you do? Lets start a blog of your own! Bright idea :-) Write what you are most convinced about- Cricket, politics, films or then just plain your thoughts about life. If you are convinced you can do that, then this is the page to be yourself. This is my first attempt and I hope to continue writing- But like they say, you got to start somewhere, so here it is.....
