Tsssk!!

Indian media and journalism always amazed me to the core.. Every time I felt a news clipping to be the most ridiculous one, they outbeat it with a totally new nuisance.. but yes it isn’t just the Indian media, its media in general.. Today while just surfing through channels I was surprised to see all the news channels showcasing a guy who was just out from jail after imprisonment for some scam.. and what was shocking that they actually kept covering him – where he went, what he did, what he ate, how he sat and … all ur imaginative mind could think for nearly the whole day..


Ya I know you must be wondering why on earth was I even seeing it, I actually liked the way they went around with hidden cameras to capture all the nonsense.. think its fools like me who makes sure the media earns on these crappy things

Tea'holic!!

Its my third cup of tea today.. I'm generally a coffe'holic all times of day but today feels right and nice to have my cup of tea.

There are times when I have these cravings for tea.. like when I am all tucked in a blanket on a cold evening engrossed in reading a book.. or when its drizzling while I sit on the chair in the garden while the breeze brings along little droplets of water to my face..

Today is just another time.. it’s a lazy Saturday morning and its been snowing and I have been for hours by my window seeing the white flakes settle on every corner of the road.. the world looks like a piece of cake and I could eat it..

The little me time

Just when you think that things can’t get worse than this- you are proved wrong!

Yet another meeting cancelled.. but that’s not whats frustrating.. the fact that I traveled all the way for this meeting and now have 2 whole weeks of just anticipation, that’s what sucks.. What is just perfect is the summer chill and the clear sky.. A stroll on the street with some stops for satisfying my taste buds is what I am looking for now..

That little me time should cheer me up!!

Its love and laughter.. and happiness ever after..

Marriages always bring in jitters.. be it planning for the wedding, or then thinking about how would life be later.. nothing seems to be pleasing the mind.. but that’s my current state of mind..

The entire family seems to be enjoying the whole process of endless shopping, planning and replanning the schedule of events, throwing in the most vaguest of ideas on the décor and having their minds go creative on the food..

Weddings do bring up the entire spirit of togetherness.. and for me – I am just enjoying seeing everyone hustle around and taking in as much as I can of my last few days at “my home”..

Feeling silly..

Have you ever planned a special surprise for a loved ones birthday.. tried hard to ensure that everything was set right for that perfect moment and then one small mistake and every plan just failed.. and yet after all the chaos and failures, had the most memorable and perfect day..

Yes, like I always say, that’s its to do with me in specific.. I had this birthday planned for HD.. He stays in Mumbai and so I thought would give him a grand surprise.. The event plan started off by ensuring that I reached there in time for dinner a night prior to his b’day, we would meet over dinner, which I would eventually prolong till 12:00. I had set up the dinner at a restaurant which offers gazal night and had ensured that the guys would wait till 12:00 for a birthday song and a special dedication from my side..

Ofcourse a birthday without embarrassment wouldn’t suit my style, so I ensured to send across a big bouquet of flowers, along with a gift and a really mushy letter to reach HD’s residence early morning. (Note: HD stays with a few friends in an apartment, who had no clue of our relation.. the idea was to give them a reason to pull HD’s legs..).

So far all was set, HD didn’t get any hints from my side and was least expecting anything.. Unfortunately the extra smart me put up an out off message on outlook and left for Mumbai.. And as they say destiny has its way, HD (who never till date sent me mails on my official id) sent a stupid forward.. And there went the first surprise in drain.. I still remember him texting me “that out of office messages generally give away whereabouts of people.. text on reaching Mumbai..” stupid outlook..

Naah it didn’t end there.. HD was late for dinner and the guys singing gazals totally messed up the timing.. so the first person to wish HD was my mom.. :( and if you think this was bad.. the gift didn’t reach him till noon and the only person to collect it at the apartment was HD, who apparently was late as we were leaving for pune and didn’t open the gift until late evening..

Yaah!! Exactly what I feel now since everything is over - “how silly”.. but that one hug from HD saying thanks for making it so special covered up for all the embarrassment.. It couldn’t have ended better.. :D
