My own planet

I want my own planet and this is how it should be:

A planet which is “Unrealistically Ideal”!!

Where the air is soo clean you can actually smell the flowers that are a mile away,

Where you have discounts running all throughout the year.
Where one gets to sleep to one’s heart’s content
Where you get great food, that too for free
Where there are roads with no traffic jams

Where you don’t have to suck up to your boss to get on top
Where you don’t get the bashing for a mistake that the client does.
Where you don’t have to meet any deadline, in fact there aren’t no deadline at all!
Where we don’t have to deal with office bitches.
Where you get your salary at the end of the month irrespective of the number of days you have actually worked.


Where all those good looking, great smelling guys aren’t gays and get to flirt with them to your heart’s content.
Where you can eat all the chocolate you want without having to worry about putting on even an ounce of weight.
Where you don’t have to worry about learning how to cook, because all the guys would already know how to!
Where every girl has the perfect figure to carry of that little black dress!!

HMM...

Preeti aka peeteee


Spent me entire childhood with her, she was the first ever friend I had in school. Actually both of us went to the same first school. must be nursery or KG. Took part in almost all of the competitions at school-painting, dance, music,plays - she was always the "pretty princess"!! . Fought with her once for calling me a donkey! Her place was my second home, went to the same dance class, played with the same set of friends, included her doggie in our "ghar-ghar games" too:) My first “friend” ever. Though we had lost touch with each other for a while, it didn’t take us long to reconnect. love you peetee:)

Divya aka “wild child”

Divya and I have a love-hate relationship. I love to hate her! my wild child, she is such a baby, a total power house of energy! If thereis one person whom I am sooo protective of outside of family, its her. she reminds me of the way I was some 3-4 years back! we think alike on almost all of the things, esp our boyfriends! Though we haven’t got to spend a lot of time together as I have with the rest, feels as if I have know her for ages.
Love u to the core baby, u rock!

As for the rest of my friends, just because I haven’t written anything about you guys here, doesn’t mean you are any less important. If you know me well, my friends mean the world to me and there is just nothing in this world that I wouldn’t do for you!

Thanks a tonne for being there for me, mean it from the bottom of my heart!

Hey,

Happy valentine’s day all :)

Just for all to know, I have never quite had a liking for this day, even after I got into a relationship. Thankfully even he doesn’t. I don’t know what it is about this day; think it’s got to do with the overdose of the color red, couples acting all funny and stuff like that. What I don’t seem to get is the fact, why act crazy in love just one day of the year? Can’t one be “crazy in love” all throughout of the year!? Enough about all this. I have been thinking of writing this post since morning. Really wanted to. I have this set of people in my life who mean the world to me. I want to make it know to them how important they are to me. They are they most favorite people in my life. They are my family outside of my family! Pls note that the list in NO PARTICULAR ORDER.

Ajay aka “the beeezeeee azzzz”
Have know him the longest, have literally grown up with him - my “nappy buddy”. But has been more than that to me lately. Friend, philosopher, guide – in the true sense of it, no matter how clichéd this phrase sounds. Though we are actually seeing a role reversal these days! I am just so happy to have him in my life, he keeps me sane. He has been my pillar of strength, seen me through it all. He is the most helpful (obviously after me, that is) I have ever come across. Not going to write anymore about him, all this is just an ego brush for his already inflated ego!! He actually thinks no ends of himself, “god’s gift to the female kind” types! Love you:)

Niti aka “hot chick”
Have known her the second longest, since my school days. We started out as “mugging partners”, she has been my Hindi/Sanskrit tutor all throughout my school life. I owe my 91% in hindi to her totally! We have actually grown closer since she moved out. She is one person after my guy whom I have fought with even for the silliest of things. She is one person who believes in me like crazy! Sooo love her for that:). It’s her confidence in me that has helped me get on with life even when I have been down in the dumps. I am just soooo proud of her, for all that she has achieved for herself. And also for the way she has transformed into this HOT BABE, commendable yaar;) Love u:) to the core.

Is it really that hard to understand men?



My personal opinion - its not. I think women are more complex & quite sure many would agree. We don’t tell men explicitly how we want them to react given a certain situation & expect them to figure it out themselves. We also expect them to be “sensitive” and “intelligent” enough to be able to comprehend our untold needs and wants. And when they are unable to do that, we start doubting their commitment, we accuse them of being not that “into us” And this is enough to press the panic buttons. We need to remember that we have the ‘power’ to change things, change the course of the river, the way we want! We also need to understand that MEN THINK DIFFERENTLY. Men need instructions, period. You tell them what you want and they will give it you, in all possibilities a lot more than that!

So girls, relax, take it easy! Don’t be mean to your guys, just be nice to them, give them time and they will come around for sure.

PS: would love to how you feel about this issue, so keep posting your comments.

Of death and dying

I don’t like change. I feel like a fish without water when I am put in new situations. Some may find this i.e, facing new situations, quite challenging. Not me. I somehow find it quite difficult to get accustomed to new settings. I don’t like it when someone pulls me out my comfort zone. Not that I am against growth and all. It’s just that new things scare me. I feel overwhelmed and feel as if I am going to let myself down by not rising to the occasion. I wish things never change; people never die.

Another thing that scares me the most is DEATH. The very fact that the absence of that person in my life will bring about a see change is what makes death a bogeyman for me. You feel a vacuum long after that someone special is gone. Gone forever! That is when you realize there were so many things left unsaid, so many things left undone and you hope against hope for that person to come back. You are reminded of all the good and the bad times you spent. Only to realize that you can never get those moments back. And this makes you long for him/ her even more – you see, human nature is such that you always want things that are out of reach, always want things that even you know you can never have.

Taking of death and dying, I am reminded of my grandmom, who died some 10 years back. Seems like a long time, but it still amazes me no ends when I seem to remember a few of her things so clearly. That day when I fought with her for not waking me up on time for my dance class, I can still feel the warmth of her hug, how her shawl felt when I wrapped it around myself, the way her dosa tasted, the warmth of her body pressed against mine while I took my afternoon nap, how her hand felt when she held on to mine while crossing the road, the way she used to talk to the sabzi wala in her self invented tamilish hindi, how she defended me every time I got into a fight with my mom. Its just so difficult to get her face off my mind even as I am writing this. I really wish she was alive today to see her daughter (my mom) doing so well for herself, handling her family all by herself. I really wish she were alive to see her grand daughter (me) doing well in her life too, what a wonderful life partner she has found for herself, with a pretty neat job etc.etc. I wish she were here to see my brother do well academically (he never did while she was with us and this worried her no ends).

I am left teary eyed and longing for her like never before!

chennai

Hey,

The blog is just 2 posts old and I am already getting a bit obsessed with it. I am constantly thinking about a topic for my next post, keep checking the blog for any new comments, keep pestering my friends to check out my posts and leave comments and the works!The big thing that I was to share with you all, wasn’t all that good, so no point whinning about it here. I am

a lil upset, that is the reason why I decided to write this post, just to take my mind off it. I heard it somewhere that when you feel stressed out or are feeling a bit low, it helps if you try to think about happy things – happy people u met, happy places you visited. I have decided to do the latter.

I took a trip to Chennai 2 months back to attend a cousin’s wedding and totally fell in love with it.This trip changed my perception about the city complete.
The moment you step out of the Chennai train station, there are just 2 smells that the city greets you with – that of incense and

food!!!! And these smells are not just limited to the train station, but follow you where ever you go around the city:)The roads are not that wide and the traffice is just plain maddening! Chennai is a big fan of BIG hoardings, outdoor advertising can’t get any bigger! Few hoardings were as huge as a movie screen in multiplexes, many were bigger than that – amazed me totally!at one point of time I was actually gwaking at them with my mouth wide open!!! Second obervation - saw many women on 2-wheelers, something which isin’t that common in Delhi.

Another observation – people there seem to have just two things to do – shop for saris and shop for gold.T-nagar, which is one of the shopping hubs, remains crowded at all times during the day. The market just overflows with people either coming out of the many sari shops there or from one of those selling gold. Even if the price of gold were sky rocketing, no one seems to bother!the size of the sari stores would give any 5 star hotel a run for their money. And the variety in saris that one gets is just amazing ,and they are dirt cheap as well!! The whole experience was quite an memorable one.Though I had gone there to attend a wedding, these are the thngs that I remember the most abt the trip.

Will be more than happy if any of u want to share such experiences with me:)

Till next time

Love

Something NEW, something BLUE and NANO

Hey all

I know my second post has come in quite soon, but I a am just sooo excited about this whole thingy :). I started writing this post the moment I go on the bus back home! And I started thinking about the topic for my next post, i.e this one the moment I stepped out of office!!You see, there is this thing with me – New things excite me to death when I have just started out with them; new clothes, new hobbies, new relationships. I am totally consumed with it! But then with time, this effect wears off. As a result of this I find it very difficult to be regular with things, such as this one. But then, come to think of it, isn’t this how it is with everyone?

That was all about “something new”. Now coming to the next part of the header for this post – something blue. I am totally sold over “color therapy” these days, I keep prescribing colors to every tom, dick and harry!!:)I feel so valued and proud of myself when someone comes upto me to ask me which color should he/she be using given the problem that person is facing. So till the initial excitement wears off, I am going to bask in glory!:) So, fear not all those troubled souls out there, your’s truly at your service, anytime, anyday!:)

Tata’s 1 lakh car was launched yesterday amidst all the regular pomp and show. And since then there has been a NANO overkill everywhere, be it the newspapers, the television channels, radio stations. The car is cute and all that, but it’s left to see how it does on the roads. It is basically targeted at all those 2-wheeler owners whom can pride themselves with a 4-wheeler now. My concern – aren’t there just too many cars on Delhi roads as it is? The traffic jams are only going to get worse in the coming days. Though, I really don’t have anything against this whole thing, in fact I wouldn’t mind booking one for myself.

That is all for now guys, got to get back to work now.

FYI – I have this really big thingy that is all set to happen this weekend, keeping my fingers crossed, will share it you all once I am back to work?

Till then, enjoy your weekend guys and those who do not have an off, don’t crib and kaam karo.

Love

Me:)..muuuuaaahhhh!!
