Sixer!
November 5, 2009
Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water,
But they came down with a Sachin
and gave him to me forever!
😉 Okay okay, that was crazy! But what can you expect on a 6th anniversary if your sweetheart is not sharing the day with you? 😀 Madness, right?
For the light of my life, wishing you a very very Happy Anniversary! 🙂
There, a Dear Deer!! :-)

Life’s little moments are not always perfect but they rarely fail to make you smile.
We recently caught a deer eyeing us from the bushes. She looked so cute with spots of her brown peeping through the gaps in the foliage that we decided to snap a picture. But the lady was in no mood to pose, she took to her heels literally with her tail (almost) between her legs!
The picture is all blurred but it is amusing nonetheless, no? Just like life’s little moments! 🙂
Have a good day folks!
PS: Thank you Appu, Shivya and Varun for the lovely awards! I have displayed them on the right side of the page for the world to see! 🙂
10 Items Or Less ..
July 22, 2009
Love Morgan Freeman? I did after watching this endearing movie called Ten Items or Less. Freeman plays a well known aging actor who hasn’t taken on a project for the past four years for lack of good scripts. He comes to a poor Latin neighbourhood to research on a role that he is considering. He meets  a fiery young Spanish “10 items or less” cashier and is quiet taken by her attitude. She on the other hand wants him off her back. Due to unfortunate events, the young lady is stuck with this guy for the rest of the day.  End of the day, she is no longer pissed, rather cherishes her one day with the goofy old man.
The movie takes a microscopic look at how people connect. And amazing as it may be, our lives can change drastically after spending sometime (or maybe no time) with someone we hardly know. I can imagine a situation where I pour out my joys/troubles to a dear friend but it is a random stranger who happened to  hear it it all who offers a fresh perspective. As filmy as the thought may sound but the logic is that the uninvolved folks are objective and can immediately spot whatever is amiss. Morgan Freeman is at his charming best in the movie – watch out for the scenes where he imitates people doing their jobs – its spectacular! And the ones where he charms the ladies! 🙂
Here is a clip showing a beautiful sing along between the actor and the shop girl. The actor attempts  at settling the cashier’s nerves on her upcoming job interview is what leads to this “smile puller”.
Video is bad as is the singing  but the human emotion shines through it all – dont you think? 🙂
PS: Those who enjoy the hit sitcom Big Bang Theory are in for a little treat towards the end of the movie. 🙂 Those of you who know what I am talking about – please don’t do a spoiler here!
Finger Licking Good!!
July 20, 2009
Spice of Life
Something to look foward to,
Something to smile back on,
Something to cherish,
Something to let go,
Something to be proud of,
something to be embarassed about,
Something to laugh silly over,
Something to hide your tears,
Something goes on,
Something come to an abrupt end.
These somethings are spices in your life,
some sweet, some tangy, some hot , some bitter.
Whatever they may be,
It is what  makes life finger licking good!!
Of Unfulfilled Ambitions …
July 2, 2009
Rads just did a very interesting tag and has an open invite at her site. What were the professions that you wanted to be in as you grew up?
Most times I wanted to be either
a teacher – because I loved to write on the blackboard
a doctor – because I loved syringes and to cure people of illness
a social worker – because I wanted to help others be successful
a painter – because I loved colours
And then came the dreaded phase!
I wanted to be a trapeze artist in the circus!! Yes, that’s right!
I loved Enid Blyton. I owned several of her books and among them was  the Circus Series. Whenever I read this series, I was transported to a different world altogether where I was the brave little Lotta, who in a bid to save the circus travelled 100’s of miles on her horse. I knew then and there, I was destined to be in a circus.
I would go to every Circus that comes to my town and be mesmerized by the shiny and skimpy costumes the artists wear. Imagine having bears, tigers, lions and elephants for pets? And not to mention the cute boys! The idea of packing and moving to another place every couple months never ceased to awe me. I so badly wanted to be in a circus but my dad never let me! Whether I grovel, threaten, bawl my eyes out or whatever, my daddy would never entertain the thought of his dotty in a circus. I would be bitter for days. Â And then all was forgotten.
Until Rad’s tag brought it all back. (No, no, Silly – I am not going to pick another fight to join the circus. Come on, I am not so bad now!) My dad always said at the time, “You may be upset now but you will thank me later!” And guess what, its about time  …. Thank you so much Appa for saving me from my own foolishness.  If it weren’t for you, I would be in some remote tent, infested with mosquitoes,  wearing only shiny clothes and blogging away my woes ( Yes, I think I would have found some way to blog! ) I do hope that kind of foolishness doesn’t overpower me again. It is the one ambition of mine that I am glad dint work out!! 😉
So what did you all think? Want to take up the tag too? Go ahead, its a free for all!
PS: Those of you who laughed at poor formerly-foolish me, atleast drop in a comment! 🙂
