Weekends with Vogue and Family

At last Vogue arrives home...
For those who didn't know Vogue America was what my friend wanted and that is exactly what she gets..:-)
Lucky me I got to run my hands through the cover...the cover girl is SJP!!!!!
Loads and loads of Fashion-Burberry, Louis Vitton, YSL, Gucci, Prada, Maxmara.....name it and it's got it!!!
Well at last the long weekends arrive....
Plans were being made and excited chatter ran through the corridors of college.
Attending lectures was even more fun..
What can be more exciting than gifts from brothers and having a big, great family fun!!!!
A rest of three days should get me rejuveneted to get started!!!
So...Happy Weekends!

Yahoo!!

Come 10.30 and I am off to the airport.

I am buzzing more than a bee!!!

Busy beeing around:-P

I can't imagine how I managed to go through the days like that.I can't even wait for two more hours!!

Tomorrow is the last day of the week...then comes the long weekend.

I already have an itinerary ready.!It's not surprising then that studying does not feature in the list.

Well it is funny that exams around the corner and fun is still the first word that comes to my mind.

Anyway fun should always be important be it studies or life...that's what life is all about.

Now you might think I am the one to tell!!!

But then again I am bloody happy today.!!!

Over my head!!

Hmmm that's what I think about science.

Sit in a chemistry class and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Science is not suited for me..that I knew even before I selected this stream.

I think I understand the phrase "can't make head or tail of it!!!" now!

Curiosity is the foundation of science.

But I seem to have not mastered the art of  torturing people with my questions.

It may be  lack of  willingness to learn on my part or just my rebellious streak.....

But from what I have seen science in my blood is just as sterile as it can get.!!!

Everybody loves Hollywood!!!

That's right!

I was just watching Everybody loves Raymond and what do I have to say about that?Well funtastic is the  word.

I am not a traitor..as much as I like our channels don't you think their channels have a knack of....having fun.

I mean just look at our soap operas.Can you see anything except hardships in life?

Agreed this is reality but marrying four times is NOT a reality..atleast not in our country...or atleast not when you are marrying the same two people all over again!!!!

Watching their shows makes us realize what fun we miss in our lives and how much time we waste cribbing.

Our country has become modern enough to let women become independent in her own rights.No more do we see women in kitchen all day or in a joint family or being a homemaker alone.As for shedding buckets of tears it does not happen anymore..okay all the above in some cases but generally I would like to think that times have changed.

Now the argument would lead  to where we can say that they are created according to the taste of the audience in that country...but tell me one thing who doesn't love Friends, Castle, The Simpsons, Modern Family........:-)

Laughter and a little stress free time never hurt anybody.

As for the movies I don't have to say anything.Bollywood is colourful but the crux remains the same don't you think?

While H-movies have stories ranging from real life stories to comedies to adapted stories to history to fiction.......

Well we have these too but considering the global audience I think Hollywood is ahead-like it or not.

Their technicians and equipments are hired in B-movies.Take a look at their action movies....F&F anybody?

Our actors see Hollywood as claim to fame in the world...while their actors might be impressed but dying would probably not be the word I'll use.In the end who doesn't want fans and admirers?

To top it all all the reality shows we have have been plagiarised....I mean ALL.....

Our movies are shamelessly and without guilt copied without any copyright.

If not the stories atleast the songs or posters will be.I can assure you.You can get list of such movies online!!

Then is the comparison of acting styles-some do copy we have to agree.

Considering all these factors I think Hollywood wins hands down.

Again some might not agree being fiercely loyal but it it not about being loyal it is about being fair and respecting true talent.I must say it is respected and how!!!

Some tidbits

• A band from UK named JLS is the second runner-up of the show X Factor Season 5.They are one of the leading boybands in UK.
• American Idol winners are always successful and top the billboard some time or the other.
• American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry though not the winner of the show has a band which is one of my favourites and of million other people across the globe.

This is talent.

This is respect.

This is Hollywood.



I see red!!!

Anger management is what I need!!!

Blood boils, brain heating, top lid blowing off, steam through nose and ears......

Well you get the drift...

Why do some people get to you so much sometimes?I mean at some point the anger hormones just shoot through the roof...

Or is it my control slipping off?I don't think so:-(

Why people behave the way they do?Why be a dork if you can't handle the same behaviour with the opposite person?After all 'Do unto others as you would wish to be done by them' right?

Have you ever felt your ears going red, seething with so much anger that you are shaking,with so much rage that your vision is clouded with tears?

Is it these people who need a psychologist or is it me?Well one thing is for sure that I am the psychologist to treat them so I can't be the one:-P

Why people behave irrationally?Why even people who don't matter have a knack of irritating you..trust me and that too by their mere sight.(What a talent!).You don't even have to look at them but it looks like your world revolves  around them...

Even people who matter are not given so much attention I guess.Even sitting staring at the ceiling would yield something...but wasting time on them is an insult to intelligence.!

But I have learnt it is illegal to slap people let alone kill them.

And the most important question is-Why can't you accept your mistake?

Do you have to keep going like you are the Queen of the world?

Then there is the category of people who are proud of themselves for no reason at all....

Let me see-Have they invented something?NO.

Have they found out something the world doesn't know?NO.

Do they know something the world knows?NO.

Hmmphh-Blow your mind is more like it.

Friends Forever

Ha!!

Today I had way too much fun!!!!Like seriously fun.

My dear friend came over for lunch and we watched movies...Yay!!!!

I say movies because we watched bits and pieces of our favourite movies.Oh what fun!!!!

I went for a long stress-free walk with my friend...and the crowd(well this one was stressful):(

I had sev puri and ice cream...What combination!!!

I planned the future with my friends...again!!!!

This post may not really do just to  my emotions..but super-duper fun is what I had today.

I would have loved to write something that is  not about everyday life but this day had to be immortalized somewhere.So here it is....:-)

But I have a question-Do we really need a day to celebrate our day with friends?Do we need a day to cherish our memories with them?Do we need a day to learn and realize their value in our life?

Well the answer is obviously NO..

I was never good with emotions but here it goes-I love my friends and will cherish them for a lifetime.

I'll be there for you.....

Is there anything else that comes to mind when mentioned the word-FRIENDS???

One in this World

There's One in this world for everyone
One heart

One soul to walk beside you

One in this life to share your love

One touch

To touch the heart inside you

This song by Haylie Duff rings true when you listen to it.

Are you listening my dear angels?

I know the clichè-I wish there was someone special in my life.

They are such a cute couple.I want someone like that.

He must be having a girlfriend.Lucky girl.

Blah blah blah.

Relax!I tell myself nowadays.

There is someone who walks in at the right time.

There is someone who will cherish you.

There is someone who will worship the land you walk on.

If you didn't realize being committed is not all its being made out to be.

It's a pretty high maintenance life.

Freedom is what we fought for and when it was right there we wanted something else.!!!

Singles tend to get depressed  on Valentine's day, Rose Day(for red roses)!!!!.

But the whole point of this post is to make the patience worth it.

Believe in The Secret and attract the kind of man you want.

Yeah that's what I believe in.

Mind you I still believe in the perfect models being made.

I believe in perfection!!!Somewhere, in some corner of the world someone awaits your love, affection and comfort.

This is just the affect of the M&B books I read!!!

But cynicism didn't get anyone anywhere.

It is better to design your destiny than resign yourself to it.

Hope is better than cynicism anyways.

Like I read-Love will come through hope alone.

An Addict

That's what I am!!
Caffeine stimulation in the morning is like inhaling fresh air.
It rejuvenates my body, takes away the pain and stress of the day ahead.

Sipping coffee in the cool weather with rain falling outside to form dew drops on plants sounds heavenly.

Curling up with a good book and a cup of filter coffee...

Sometimes I wonder what the Indian Government is upto!!

What are they thinking rising the price of milk like that?

Just today when I asked my mom to give me a cup of coffee which was actually my fourth for the day she mentioned the price of milk and that was that.All sensations flew out of my body and thoughts out the window.I did not wish for it anymore than I would for a peg of vodka after getting heavily drunk already!!!

That was just my feeling.Depression doesn't even come close.

Well you might think this all one big exaggeration.But this is an addict talking  remember?!

Coffee....umm..it just gives a great start to my day and an excellent finish to it..

It stimulates my thought process and gets me out of my lethargy.

That's why I like Barista!!I know I don't find it where I stay.

But when the word coffee pops up Starbucks is what comes to my mind.

Meeting friends over coffee is the best way I can think of spending my time with them.

Watching tv while sipping hot coffee is the best way to spend a holiday.

Everything associated with coffee is the best, isn't it?Coffee lovers will vouch for it.!!

Everybody knows the way to have a Royal English breakfast.Dinner is incomplete without a cup of this delicious beverage.(Tea is popular but you know what I prefer).

Black coffee, cappuccino, cafè mocha, cafè latte, expresso...

It has made me go into a whole different world of beans....If kids wish for a world with chocolate I imagine a world with COFFEE...

By now I have lost count of how many times I mentioned the C-word.!!

Now tell me Don't they taste LOVELY???

Just my thoughts...

Today one moment just got me thinking about our thought zone in the brain.
How one thought leads to another and then the train goes on and on and on....till we forget about the engine.!!
Like today I was thinking about how I lost one of my books.It got me thinking as to where I had seen it last-was it home or college?Then i remembered I was using it in college for copying something and then I forgot if I put it back in my bag.
I know I am NOT careless..i'm not the one to lose books and that too so carelessly as to have forgotten if i put it in my bag or not.
Then I started suspecting the people who were with me during that time..when asked they replied in the negative..then if not lost and if not found where did the book go?Did it crawl away by itself?I mean it has to be somewhere right?

Replaying the events I remembered my friend asking me to hurry up(only because she was hungry!!!).Now that got me irritated because if not for her then maybe i would have been a bit more careful i guess.

On the mention of friend my train reached the next station-my other friend..with whom I have not talked for days.It got me planning that we should meet for her birthday,The next moment I was planning giftsThen came the thought of Friendship Day gifts.F-Day arrives on a sunday so i was thinking what should we do that day.Then I was planning my week ahead and then month and then year and then last but not the least my FUTURE....Whew!!!

And to think that it all started from a book;-)

See did I not tell you books are the best friends one can have?They just got ME thinking..where otherwise the zone would be rusted and starting to form an inhibition zone.!!!

At last the train has arrived and time to whiz off to my next destination...

Gracias if you boarded this train...

Te Amo

I have actually completed three days of attending lectures continuously..all lectures mind you!!!
Italian classes are beginning soon...
I can't believe the will power  i've got..I didn't even know i was determined enough for tasks like these.
But i did it anyways so if i stick to the plan i'm gonna have a little celebration.So chocolate it is!!!
Holidays will be beginning soon.Countdown has begun.
I'm actually having fun.

Today i said 'I Love You'....to myself:-P

I mentioned this because i have never done this before.

So Te Amo indeed.

Crave for weekends

The week just started and i am already craving for weekends!!
Travelling is tough work and  coming back home is tougher!!!
For starters the assignments are given in pages!!!Gosh what is it with teachers?

Then my extra pocket money calls for extra hardwork.(not that i mind:-D)

Saturday is packed with Italian class.

Sundays are the only days when I am at home as in 'really home'(you must have guessed by now that i am a homesick person).

That aside i was thinking the other day what would it be like to attend all lectures in a week without bunking even one of them!!I am doing just that..so far i have managed for two days.

The rest of the week seems like real hard work.

I am actually keeping a countdown to the day i can stay home..that is I already decide in advance as to when should i stay home(such a homesick person!!!)

Now that is really the height of sickness a person can contract.

Then is the guilt trip that follows.If i take a study leave then why am i home sleeping?

No idea.Christ!!!Thinking too much is really harmful...

That's why don't think too much..Just Do It.

My friend just gave me a wonderful feedback.She asked me why i write blogs everyday?!

According to her i should be writing only when i am ignited!Now that is going to take a long time.

Anyway the lazybum that i am i must keep writing(it makes me think atleast).

Thought process is continuous this way and if at all any one reads this my daily life with a touch of something i call my 'thoughts' is what i blog about.

I don't know where i am going with this.!!

Well that's all for now.

Los sueños se hacen realidad!

Yesssss!!!!!
My dear friend is back!!!Aww i missed her...
Looks like she had some fun!
The SECRET really works!Not that i didn't know.But it's power is magnificient.
My Italian is back on track.I've started earning extra pocket money from today...
I've already made a list of things to splurge on(i think i've mentioned it before).

As for my friend and me, we are watching a movie on sunday...

This new month has definitely brought hope and happiness.

As i always say-Los sueños se hacen realidad:-)

A Sunday!

I'm writing this blog purely because a break would just make me lazy to come back.

Today I got the pure satisfaction of completing a book.I'm excited because i'm going to get new books tomorrow.

Again i watched those movies mentioned earlier...oh what fun!!!

I have already had 4 cups of coffee today.

I ws viewing some of the old pictures and was feeling nostalgic.

How we grow up, how times change, how we change and what fun we used to have as kids.(pure, unadulterated fun!!!)Mind you, those were NOT based on materialistic thing.

Again a hectic week starts and i'm sure i'm getting Monday Blues already.

P.S.I don't know what this is all about.I'm just rambling on something when i should really be in bed.

Well i'll try to come with something better to write tomorrow.

At last the weekends arrive!!!!This is the part we all wait for, isn't it?Wish they would arrive two or three times a week;-)

Well to end this week on a high note we are progressing steadily on the project-I've named it Project Phosphatase(boring!!!).

Start of a month brings hope and new to-do lists.This month is especially exciting because of the many holidays.

Also my brother arrives for rakshabandhan(on time) so this time i get extra gifts!!!

They are coming for a short trip.But it should be fun.

Then movies on weekends, shopping, sight-seeing is going to be super fun:-D

If that ain't enough I will be getting extra pocket money from this month!!!!

I already have a whole list of things to buy.

But still i'm clueless on what to do with the 'M' word!!(read micro)

Like they say-Where there is a will there is a way.

Happy weekends!!!!

Yay!!!!

Today was fun!

We have to do a project for our upcoming Microbiology festival.Our group is the first to atleast take a baby step...so we are ahead of the others in our class.:-)

That aside I don't know if Italian is going to happen any time soon but it is definitely happening!!!!

I reached home after 12 hours(that is when I left for college!!!), skipped lunch, had omlette and coffee(yummyy) and watched 'The Devil wears Prada'.What fun!!!

Now next in line is reading a book.

I wish such was my life everyday!!!

P.S.I am happy because we are ahead of others and not because I am interested in the M word even remotely!!!:-/

Luck?No chance...

I'm so NOT cribbing!!!But would like to go on about today anyway!!!

Just yesterday i was gung-ho about my italian classes...and today it is precariously close to being cancelled!!!

Why does it have to be me?Well that is not to say let it be someone else...but still...

That is the only thing that kept me going for a few days.It made me feel worthwhile about myself...

Atleast i was doing something to get close to my dream!!!!

It is certainly not the end of the road, i know.

But something gets me down everytime something like this happens and it takes months to get back on my feet...and then again and again and again!!!!It's the same vicious cycle again.

I hate people who are pessimistic so then what am i?

But going on is an absolute must.What choice do i have?

Simple and sweet

Today has been a pretty uneventful day.

The same old circle-college, home, tv, sleep, laptop, book, sleep....

The routine is pretty much the same everyday.

But still a few achievements...

My dear friend passed her driving test.

I attended all lectures in college.

I had cold coffee after a hiatus(wouldn't like to say why?!!!)

I purchased the most beautiful rakhis i had set my eyes on!!!!

Italian classes are shaping up in a nice way.!!.

Well that's it for today:-)

Life In My Metro

Just another random post!!!!!

But totally worth it!I was just sitting today in class and thinking about life(what else do i think about anyway!????).It struck me we are "busy" all the time!

Well for starters we have our studies to take care off...

Then we have our 'fun' time...where talking on the phone for atleast two hours is a must...then watching movies is a complete must...and of course texting all day after having just met in the college is on top of the list!!!!

Anyways this is what teenagers do...well atleast the normal one's...

Then there's the 'net' time...Facebook, twitter, blogging, yahoo messenger, orkut, etc......Hummphh

On a more serious note starting early for the college is necessary.After spending 7 hours in college you can only come home dead tired..but after being rejuvenated by a cup of mom's filter coffee if you have an ounce of energy left then the remaining time calls for hobbies....!!!!!!

Oh television of course is my friend if i need relaxation...and 'net' time is a must for me though 'wasting' time on social networking sites is a big no-no.

Through all this there is the preparation for the next day and then an early night,  for getting up early after sleeping late is impossible.The whole routine starts all over again...

Monotonous life is ...well...colorless.

What brings color to my life are my friends, my books, my tv shows, my heroes;-) and well my family.Life is to be enjoyed...black and white doesn't suit us.

I won't bore you with the clichés....you know them....

Just the fact that life is given to us is a gift...don't make it monotonous...splash some color, be fun if not outrageous...and last but not the least be happy....because life is a small gift wrapped in colorful  ribbons and bows..unwrap and enjoy the surprises and challenges that is thrown at you..only once do you get to enjoy it so you might as well have a blast!!!!

Ooohhh!!!Come On!!!!

Just when you think everything will be fine trust this day to show up!!!!
My mobile bill is way too high....so i actually feel like murdering those at the gallery!!!!!!!Why?
Bloody, money sucking, corrupt basterds!!!!

I want to give them a dose of their own medicine so i'm going to change to another subscriber....take that a**h****!!!!!!!!!!

Even thinking about them makes my blood boil........I'm seething with anger and if i happen to see that particular guy on the road well i don't know about murder but there will be assault!!!!!!!!

Hijo de puta!!!!!!

That's it for now!!!!!!!!

Feliz feliz!!!!!!

There is good news!!!!Ummmm NOT in the way you intend....!!!!!
Here's a little recap.I had issues with my current stream of study-Microbiology.

I had talked and almost begged my parents to let me do Arts.

But they did not relent!!!!And i had become rebellious  many a times before...well i could say i didn't have the guts to convince them..

I had a talk with my friends about this and apparently the only way out was to talk to my parents about this.But trust me to find another way out.!!!!!!

Like they say one can't please everybody!So anyway my solution is to just inform them of my decision and that i have done.

And the result is my mom has agreed...well i can't say agreed but come to terms with it is more like it!!!
Looks like if i'm clear dad's gonna come to terms with it too.!!.

It's a revelation that they thought i was the weak one here so if i think i couldn't do it then everybody thinks i can't.

Well now that it's sorted out a boulder has been lifted off my shoulders and i'm feather light!!!

I've started making arrangements already....and well  i'm feliz feliz!!!!!(happy happy)

Love you.....Life!

The Tide is High i'm holding on....

I'm gonna be your number one

I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that...

That's right...i'm NOT gonna give up.....

Winners never quit and Quitters never win.

I'm gonna be life's number 1!!!!

P.S.I don't know what this post is about.

Just felt like reaffirming this to myself.

I might cry, whine, lash out, vent out, curse, hate....

But giving up is not one of them.....

Zindagi na milegi dobara!!!

Hola

I saw this movie today.I must say 'impresionante' is the word.

This is a must watch movie.My friends and i had planned a spinster party.This was two years back.

Well this movie couldn't have released at a better time.

We loved it and now Spain is one of our destinations!

We have dutifully noted all of the places and of course La Tomatina tomato festival.Adventure sports were always high on the list.Bird-watching is high on list too(atleast for me!).

Road trip sounds like fun!!

Well there is only one hitch.We are not sure where each one of us is going to be and if we will be rich enough to travel extensively.But that doesn't deter us from discussing it as if we are going tomorrow!!!!(Law of Attraction).

But there is one promise i made to myself today and made my friends promise too that whatever it takes this party is NOT going to be cancelled whatsoever.

Money should NOT be a hiccup in having fun.Do whatever you like.Make enough(actually more than enough)money so that whenever you feel like having an awesome experience just do it.If you like something buy it.Just don't hesitate.

A Burberry trench coat,Jimmy choo shoes,Chanel boots,Armani clutch,Prada leather coat,Gucci perfumes..........

What is it you really want?Buy it then and there...If you like, it CAN'T be waste of money....(only if you are going to use it!!!)

And then the promises continue-Never back out of a destination that is to say if it's your friend's choice you need to go through with it and the same applies to you.

Do outrageous things but not unsafe or dangerous things(we want to live to tell the tale!!!)

Click snaps....i'm not a fan of random shots....Take what looks good not what is ridiculous.(this one is mine and mine alone...seems a bit uptight....hmmmm i'll rather cancel this then)Being uptight is NOT allowed.

The most important of all is that we need to take time off whatsoever the situation.NO backing out!!!

I pray we stay in different places so that meeting becomes all the more fun and we have glorious tales to tell of our place(I don't know about the others i'm in UK).

Now i have come up with a brilliant plan...We are going to start saving now.It's not that i think our future is bleak or we are not going to make enough for ourself...it's just that the destinations(which are not going to be changed only added if necessary)we are going to are expensive...and we need more than enough to spend because souvenir are going to be real expensive.

Well dreaming is not harmful...but keep dreaming and it is...

Live Your Dream.

Los sueños se hacen realidad.(Dreams come true!!:-)

Life with My Beloved

I want to write something serious.....
An evening with Sharon Owens is enough to realize that....
If you didn't know she is the author of 'A Winter's Wedding'(I'm reading it now).
I wonder if it's their natural creativity or a result of the course they have studied.
Such brilliance has to be inborn.Passion-driven, living their imagination has got to be a life i yearn.
God knows I have been wanting to do creative writing for sometime now...

Reading is a pleasure because of such talented authors.They have made my life bliss!!!

Every waking morning i think of the day ahead and the excerpt i'll be reading that day.

I'm a voracious but slow reader.I like to "absorb" each and every word i read.Atleast that makes me satisfied and happy if not anything else.

I rejoined my library after a two-months break.I thought I could live without it but I guess i couldn't after all.

My smug-cum-happy smile had to be seen to be believed.A warm smile spread on my face and remained in place until i had not selected the books i wanted.The familiarity, smell of the books is just what i need.Wish i could read and change them everyday!!!!

This was a totally random post.Normally i think about each day's post, on what to write.

But spending an evening with Emily and Dylan was just what i needed after a stressful 10 days.

Magic Kingdom!!

My friend's recent post inspired me to dream way ahead of myself.
Well she has a copyright to her post so this is NOT plagiarism.
Let's just say i fantasise during my free time with a romfic(read romantic fiction) in my hands.
Here goes my fairy tale: I am a Princess, Queen-to-be, married to the King-to-be, Prince.(i went a wee bit ahead).
We are actually just married and our castle is situated in Scotland.

We have a Castles in Ireland, Italy, France, Switzerland, Netherland(well you get my drift).Pent houses in London and Paris.Building castles in the air is more like it!!!

He is the real good-looking, chivalrous, charming Prince.

It was, of course, a love cum arranged marriage.(I'm still holding my nationality-Indian.If he is a Prince he ought to from The KIngdom).

He was actually called the most eligible bachelor in the world.Now he is every girl's dream.(That he is!!!!!)
Well my capture remains mine alone!!!!!We are the 'It' couple.
Well the crux of my telling you all this is I have a simple yet complicated quote-I want my guy to be every girl's dream(literally!!!!)but I am his only dream.
Unlike my friend my dreaming borders on fantasising.They are in no way connected to my life.
My friends say I'll never get a guy that good.But I know such models are still made and I'm hopeful of getting one for me.

What i say is 'What's the harm in dreaming right?If you can't dream then you can't see...you have to be blind!!!!!

As far as I know in every country on this planet there is not a single one that levies tax for dreaming.
If not dreaming what's going to keep us alive in this world?
Keep Dreaming!!!!!
Happy Dreaming!!!!

My Best Friend

Reading is one of my passion.I can read day and night(literally!!!!!)if only i didnt have college work to do:-(Books,like music,can cure just about anything.
Girls like reading fiction in romance is no secret.Curl up with a good M&B book,snuggle up in bed with a hot cuppa tea(or coffee)and well you are ready for the fairy tale of life.
Reading any romance fiction for that matter stirs up my imagination bringing it to life.
For a single girl like me that is all i need;-)A good book and my imagination(and a bookmark).
It has led me to believe that real life however fascinating is not as fabulous as those in books.Maybe it's because storylines in books can be changed as we like.The characters are as real as they can get.
Books unlike people are the least predictable elements present in life i have ever seen.
So lets get back to the topic at hand:Why books make better best friends?

• They are least demanding about the time i spend with them.They don't crib.They are not emotionally draining.
• A cup of coffee with them makes time spent worthwhile(improves imagination and knowledge).It doen't take a physical toll on you!!!!!
• Snuggling up with them provides a different level of adrenaline rush.
• It feels like living a dream.A dream come true everytime a book is held in my hands.(Fairy tale)
• Real life love stories are full of troubles that can't be solved.Happy endings are all i live for.(Cynicism helps sometimes when people who matter to us go thru' troubles for no fault of theirs)
• It makes me forget my troubles however temporarily they might be.
• Staring at the book cover takes me to a different planet.(i tend to fantasise a lot)
• Romance and passion envelopes me.(wow!!!!!i think i'm in love;-)
• No guy in real life matches the guy in my dreams(read any of the heroes...such is my cynicism)
• They don't desert you in times of need.
• You can take them wherever you go.(i can't take my friends with me to UK:-(

Well that's for my list.....Y i love books and well its not hard to guess what my prized possessions are in my house.
In future i fancy having a room füll of books.

Books is all i live for.Well they are most certainly the love of my life!!!!!!!

Do Re Mi!.!.!.

Sound of music is one of the most loved movies of the world.It is not really about love of music but about how music saves life.
Reel life meets real life.Music can save life.Literally!!!!
Lets take my life for example.It's a mess.Well i could say i'm in turmoil.
What really keeps me going is music.I don't sing though my voice is not bad i could say after 4 years of classical training.What really keeps me going is the music of Backstreet Boys.Some say they are old.But old is gold right?Long live their music...and this is something i can't grasp-if Aishwarya Rai Bachchan can become a mother at 37 and she is still young why should the BSB be old when they are younger than her??????
Listening to their songs day and night have given me solutions to many a problems in my life(well there seems to be a lot of them lately).How i do not know...tune in,listen,enjoy and solve seems to be my mantra.........for now:-)

Just Another Rainy Day

Sigh!!!!or should i say Yay!!!!
These are the days Mumbaikars die for what with the scorching heat they have to put up with in the summers and unusual drop in temperatures in the winters.
But stepping in on potholes and puddles is just not my idea of spending a well earned holiday.
It looked beautiful though and the weather seemed to remind me of London(once again).
I have visited this fabulous city once and would kill for more opportunities to do so again.
This title for one is apt:It's just another rainy day in London:lyrics by A.J.McLean.
But such days take me back to the good old days of my old house.I spent 9 years of my childhood in that home i called 'My Palace'.Well i was The Queen!!!!!!(it was a one bedroom apartment).
On such days we would usually stay at home snuggled up in bed(that would be my bro and me...me mostly).In the dull afternoons it was scrabble time for my grandmom and me,chess and monopoly time for my brother and me,cards and uno time for my brother,mom and me.Wow!!!!!what fun.....!!!!!
Team this fabulous course of activities with a hot cup of tea and a plate of hot bhajjias.......Yummmmm
Next comes tv time...my dad would have made himself comfortable on the couch scanning channels(those were the days when tv was worth watching).An argument would ensue as to which channel should be watched and end in the same manner it started(phush phooosh phush)like a bucket of cold water was poured over us.It would usually end with thoughts of all the family members having one tv set each.(Imagine 6 tv sets in a one bedroom mansion!!!!!!).We would then end up watching old songs on B4U or some such channel.
Reminiscing those days,now-a-days nobody has the time or need for a hot cuppa tea or garam garam bhajjias.I wonder if there is an interest either.It's all about tv and internet time.Night time is reserved for everybody's most beloved partner-TV.There is no 'ME' time let alone the time for others.
We have become netizens instead of alert citizens.
One can only think that if this is the case in joint families what is to say about nuclear one's.
But then such is life dearies.

Do What You Love:Y NOT?

Planning,decisions,career.........
We all have been thru' this.
The important part is who is the decision-maker?Is it you or somebody 4 u?
In my case I'd like to say the decisions were made for me assuming that I was weak and could not even trust myself to do what i loved.
For starters ARTS is my LOVE.History my interest.Psychology my PASSION.
I can tell you one thing guaranteed that this particular movie DOES NOT need my advertising or recommendations-3 Idiots.Well it is a true life story.
A true life story of many students whose decisions are already taken for them.
A common prejudice prevails that in Science:especially engineers and doctors get a lot of money.Well to be honest they do.
But that is not to tell that commerce and arts do not.Example being  my dad who earns more than what only people could dream of.Btw he is a CA,CS and ICWS all rolled into 1!!!!!aka CFO of his company.
But Arts.....ummmm......what had Barkha Dutt taken as her career option?what had Ambike Anand taken?I wonder...........
Searching can get you anything.....like a salary of a Psychologist...which is more than enough for a girl with passion and money and who vows to be single for the longest time possible!!!!!!!!!!!!I know my contemporaries who quit science and have taken up BMM and that too after a year or two's deliberate vacation to plan their life.A big Salute to them for the courage,confidence,faith and trust they exhibit.
I can only think of them as one of the many lucky souls alive who are following their passion.
That is not to say that science sucks;its not just every1's cup of tea(or coffee)Well i prefer coffee to tea so.......:-P
In wake of so many people taking up their passion with or without support from their parents i have only one thing to ask-Whoever said business and pleasure can't be mixed?

A Fresher

Whew!!!!!
At last I have done something people thought i'd never do......
I have been pestered for days on end to DO something WORTHWHILE.
Well,crediting my friend,I'd say she did a good job of  making me do what I think is my interest.(yet again!!!!!!)
I don't know if I'm doing a fairly good job of writing....I'm just trying my hand at yet another thing I think I'm not good enough....
Being fair to the other excellent writers,some of whose blogs I've already read,I'm hoping to atleast write something worth reading like i read something worthy of making me write,being the most lazy creature known to mankind that I am.
