New rays of hopes as we usher into 2012

As i sit and watch the day passing by the last day of  2011, many thoughts cross across my mind. All of us with new hope and faith of brilliant year, we stand at the gate of this new year. Everyone makes a resolution to make this coming year happening and make up to the short comings of the previous year.

Some resolutions are fulfilled and others happen to be the victim of our laziness and other work priorities.

Human nature tend to keep delaying things, until it comes to catch your neck.

So. make up your mind as the clock ticks twelve and the party spirit raises to its peak. Remind yourself of the 10 checks to be done in 2012:

1. Work out and get in shape
2. Bring a change in the life of the underprivileged
3. Take time to spend with your family and friends
4. Travel to new destination
5. Spend time with nature
6. Try a new thing for the first time
7. Pursue your dreams 
8. Leave your worries behind and sleep for 8 hours a day
9. Use your words and action carefully
10. Explore the world around 

Resolution and promises are meant to be fulfilled, not to delayed and carried for next year. Hope for future is what keeps you moving forward. 

Amazing week

Awesome! was last week of my life. The week started with a melodious musical concert of Deutsche Philharmonie Merck on 3 Oct 2011. The night with soul stirring music and an orchestra of 80 musicians. Spreading the soothing music at the chowdiah memorial hall and the hall was filled with enthusiastic music lover. The musical troupe played flawlessly Beethoven and Mozart.  Starting from the first note to the ending note Deutsche Philharmonie Merck  did not lose their precision and pitch. Oh! Lovely my heart was shouting with joy and hands clapping in applause and mind asking that the musical night could have lasted a little longer.

With a night to remember came next morning all filled with festive spirit. Office colleagues discussing about Ayudh Pooja, which color saree to wear and are you coming or not. The long awaited holidays making the week more special and my plan to spend time with my friend in Chennai made me all thrilled and happy.

Next day Wednesday started with a bit tension of about how to drape the sari. But soon the tension was gone with the help of my colleague. She helped me drape the sari making me all comfortable and gorgeous. My sis beautiful sari and jewellery helped me to get the gorgeous look of the day. Everyone was complementing me you have that “awesome figure and height that we can crave for, you are looking pretty put some kajal nazar na laage.”  Took snaps and captured most of the beautiful moments.

Then on Thursday journey to Chennai began with the bus coming 1 hr late made me sure that I am travelling. Oh my friend came to pick up me on the half way telling me looking great in the pink top (bought by chechi from Goa). Reached her home she made vegetable biriyani for me we had our lunch together, were feeling lazy so thought to take a nap and lot of chit-chat. Decided to go out on the next day (sat). We went to Ampa skywalk entertained our taste buds with Baskin Robbins ice cream. After spending some time decided to walk back to home and then make our way to Anna nagar. As we stepped out of the mall the raindrops started falling eventually leading to a pouring rain.

Our humble umbrella couldn’t protect us completely from the mighty rain making us half drenched. So we decided to pause and start our shopping masti after rain is stopped. We set out after an hour on our way to Anna nagar and our first place was Nalli’s in the quest of buying a beautiful Pure silk or cotton saree for mom. We were totally disappointed and confused with the collection.

To taste the typical tamilian food, we went to the famous sarvanna  bhavan. The place as usual was crowded and always made our taste buds enjoy the taste of masala dosa and 14 idlies. Just the thing which you miss in the Bangalore udupi restaurants.

We couldn’t  restrain to single plate and ordered the next round, but this time the waiter was done with us bringing the bill after the first order, but we were determined to get the next order and make our taste buds enjoy the rich thick sambhar and soft little idlies just melted in the mouth. Masala dosa without a drop of oil making it more tasty and yummy snacks of sarvanna bhavan and once more proving the speciality of serving the best masala dosas and idlies. Spending a quality time and fulfilling our appetite we started our hunt for the best things.

On Sunday i had my bus to catch from Chennai bus terminus saying bye to my friend. I boarded the bus at 12:31 from Chennai. A super comfortable bus, for the first time made me like bus journey. Nice soft seats with good leg space and good stops.

They just make their statement very true sleep like a baby. Making you full relaxed and calmed doesn’t feel tired at all. The bus reached Bangalore at 7:00 PM. My sweet jiju came to pick me up and chechi made nice hot chapattis and pork curry.

Just a memorable week passed by...

Along life road i found a true friend

Dedicated to a friend, who has been around me in joy and sorrow.

It was there from the time i took the first breath of life. And i grew with it an involuntary action, which sometimes make u achieve so many things. For a small child this friend helps get attention, its favourite toy, or fulfil his or her wish. It has been part of my and anyone life from the very first day.

We never understood, when we are scared, in fear, in pain not only in difficult times. Its always there to share good times when we are happy, filled with emotions, on achievement. 

A friend who always remains hidden. When the time comes it just rolled down and helps us feel lighter and better. Every time this friend gives u a comfort. As if rain has washed away my momentary fears and cleansed my soul. But, this friend never leaves me alone it is always with me.

Its the hidden emotion which is sometimes not in your control. This friend accompanies us when i leave my dear ones. But, sometimes this friend just shows up and putting me in difficult situation. How should i introduce my friend? The well-wisher who has been there from my childhood, with whom i grew up, now i find difficult to explain to others.

Every time my friend appears i want to spend time only with this sweet friend. The best friend who, understand my needs and wants to fulfil every desire of mine. It comes when i am talking with God, asking to grant my desires.

Grateful to this true friend...

anna ka jaadu chal gaya

Anna the Great

One old man can create a revolution and shake the whole India. I didn’t believe when the agitation began. Anna, a common man like any of us reading this blog a guy with no supernatural power. Alone he stirred up the whole nation and awakened the sleeping lions inside every Indian citizen. Now, the Lion is roaring on the streets with anna for just one common cause “corruption free India.” Mera bharat Desh jise sone khi chidiya ke naam se jana jata tha. Lota do mujhe woh bharat desh pukar raha hai bachha baccha.

Now also will our govt. sleep, which its continuing from the past 65 years leading the country to ruins. Or will it stand up and answer the 1 billion citizens of India.

Its eighth day that our dear Anna Hazare has entered his fast, his health is deteriorating. Isn’t it a concern for our govt. Has government become so shameless and irresponsible who can’t stand up for the good of the country, then what for we elect every 5 years a govt to rule the nation. Getting a fat paid salary and all the luxuries of being a VIP.

When it is unable to give a happy peaceful and retired life to a 72 years jawan who fought for the country without thinking about himself. Now, also fighting to make this country free from the deadly virus called “Corruption,” which has no antidote. Anna in human form has come as an antidote giving hope to the billion struggling common man. The common man who steps out of the house thinking of the challenges he has to face the whole day.

When will now our Govt. awake to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill, or will it realize by taking the life of this great old man. Jago Sarkar Jago ab nahi toh kab?

Today TOI Kiran Bedi chided the government, saying it "took MPs just five minutes to clear the bill to raise their salaries, but it's finding it difficult to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill in five to six days." Dear government, we are waiting for you to awake from this kumbhkaran khi need.

Ae mere watan tujhe salaam

Jisne har jhulm saha phir bhi apne aap utt kada huya

Jaha sarkar ne vaishy dharindo khi tarah loota

Aur development ke naam par har tarf corruption ko pahuchaya

Ae mere watan tujhe salaam itne muskilo me bhi tune musukuraya

Is watan khi miti ko Anna jaise anmol ratan diye

Hum tumare saat hai ae mere desh ke laal

Anna tum jiyo hazzaro saal

Is lokpal bill ka palan ho jaldhi yehi prathana hai meri

Ae mere watan tujhe saalam

What more can I ask in making my b'day special

This page is dedicated to my chechi and jiju

Oh Thanku God for a wonderful b’day, which was wonderful and memorable as the day came...

!3th august some say its unlucky to be born on this day but i just don’t know the logic everyday is created by Lord and for him nothing is lucky or unlucky, he has created everyday to be special and cheerful. What a mere “human can do when God is with you.”

As usual this b’day fall on a holiday lucky me didn’t have to take a off by telling lie in office. As the whole day was made for me and whatever i wanted to do.

The day started with my mom and dad wishing me, my sis message, some of my well-wisher colleagues and friends calling me this thing went on through the day. Then a piece of pizza accompanied with a delicious lychee juice made a perfect English breakfast the pizza melted in mouth.

Then i dressed in my b’day dress, which was knee length black and grey dress, making me feel great.

Me and my roomie headed to our nearest and popular destination "The Forum." Having wondered for some time about what to buy and trying new things we ended up buying nothing, as none fitted in our budget.

We thought about relishing our taste buds with yummy and healthy salads from “Subway.” As usual the sub worked immersing ourselves in the gooey and crunchy taste of salad and getting nice comments on the salad from a unknown lady “That looks good.” "That really looks good."  Again made our choice the best.

Enjoying and commenting on the crowd that moved around us. Had great fun and to give the finishing touch we ordered baskin robbins chocolate rich cone, while enjoying the delicious ice cream. My roomie was like today so many guys checked you out and girls gave you bitchy look made me feel on “top of the world.”

 Then on my way back to PG, and thereafter to my sisters place I didn’t knew.

Surprise surprise surprise

I was welcomed by my jiju with warm wishes and my sis with hugs. My mom calling have you reached safely talking to her for few minutes. Here comes my surprise  cake & cookies specially baked for my birthday by my sweet sister and the whole story of buying my fav gift. I was overwhelmed by now.

Now, time for some merriement watching English movie a different version of hangover “Brides maid.”  My sweet jiju heads to fry some of fishes, which makes the evening more amazing and tasty.

What more can i accept from God But the list of surprise doesn’t stop here... it continues

When, I come to know the celebration continues, as the next day morning starts with my favourite breakfast and then afternoon chicken and appam, evening with yummy fried prawns and curry all in my list of favourites. When my chechi told we bought everything to make your day special with a smile on her face.

I just don’t know how to Thank God for all this great blessing, that make me feel I am so special and blessed to have such a beautiful, caring, understanding, loving, sweet sister and jiju.

Just i feel sad about the moments i have fight with her on silly matters. What more can I ask for making my B’day special.

Thanku for being a part of my life J

Luv U forever

UR little sis

shaadi confusion

The dilemma of life

I guess every individual in his or her life face this dilemma, whether you are taking the right decision or wrong or state of being confused. I think i am at that stage in life where I have to face this question to choose the right person. My future Mr. Right or my better half or fiancée or  who will make my life perfectly complete.

So, here I am with this thought, the very thought of living with a person whom i have hardly known, entering a family where most of them are unknown. And the most important part is the fact about sharing my life with him and he is going to be the most important person in my life. Really, runs a chill down my spine making my heart pump faster and i can feel blood gushing through my head making me numb. At this moment fear and stress grips my soul. Thus worsening my situation of what is the right thing to do? or Did i like him?

If i ask myself this question who will be the man who can compliment me and complete me? I just need to look at my father in every aspect the person who cared and loved me unconditionally. He sacrificed his health, desires, and life. Just to see me grow up into a beautiful lady. Who protected and trusted me and was always besides me along life every decision who has been the super hero when i was a baby. Oh dear God! I am so grateful to you and for giving me my sweet and loving papa. When i write this line my heart is filled with emotions and my eyes with tears.

I just wish i could have at least some part of my papa in the man who is gonna come to my life. If i talk about the unreal or imaginary part I wish I get a person like Adam sandler in 50 first dates, who in spite of all her short comings he loved her unconditionally. I need just a shoulder to lean on and a man who hugs me and says everything, is going to be alright. And, whatever happens I will be right there waiting for you...

World inside my blanket

 

The world inside my blanket is so warm & cosy

Where no fear touches I like it

When I step out its all fear and dare

And I am confused and scared

As a kid my blanket was my family

Where love pours all the time I like it

When I grew up it became my friends and close colleagues

It was fun to be around them

Every day I step out of the blanket I wish to find something new

Exciting, challenging I like it

But I end up with work load and stress

Tired and weary hoping to see another day pass thru

Oh! Dear Lord I wish this world be a cosy place as it is inside my blanket

Where no one is afraid to say the right & truth is honoured

Where no strangers make your day worse and spoil your mood

Every day is a beautiful and great day
