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?
