Hi guys……
Surprised to see me here after long time?? I know you all are :-D I have this habit of switching off completely..well there’s been almost 7 months since I posted last. Lot of water has flown under bridge and I was too busy unfolding new chapters every now n then.
So how you guys doing? I know I have to read thousands and million posts to catch up with you all and be on same page. So spare me if I’m late on commenting ;-)
For last few days I have been pondering over this one word which has a lot to do with the kind of person I am today. Every person goes through some transition phases in life which do change his or her perspective towards life.
Dad,being a Govt.Servant has to travel across Maharashtra every 3 yrs. so I did my schooling till 10th from several small,big schools.Till 10th,my exposure to the outer world(apart from school) was limited.My mom used to make me participate every interesting extra curricular events taking place in school. So drawing exams, paintings and debating was something I started enjoying and excelling into. Academically, I was good and always passed with flying colors. For me that was the world :-) After my 10th results,Mom,dad decided to relocate to a CITY,which will value my talent and change my future. So we 3 kids and Mom shifted to Nashik and Dad used to visit us on weekends. Remember,I was a bright student so far :-)
Very soon a new routine of classes,college started in new city,it took me a while to adjust in new environment.I was enjoying the BEST college,BEST teachers etc but somewhere I stated becoming introvert,Some inferiority complex started engulfing me,I started feeling out of the world.Other guys,girls were far superior than me in Maths,spoken English and this made me less expressive :-( I couldn’t really make any good frenz during 11th and 12th, I had few like me who relocated to Nasik,for better 11th and 12th.
I had no one to share ideas about studies,patterns to follow in those years,I started feeling lost in the whole world. To make it worse,during final days of 12th exams,dark thoughts of skipping the exams,taking gap and reappearing were hovering over my minds.I was determined to skip that year exams.But it was mom who literally made me study and appear for papers. As expected the result was not up to the mark,I couldn’t believe its me,who was once topper throughout her school days got such ranks :-( :-( No wonder,Parents were really disappointed :-(
Since that day,I lost confidence in myself. I started feeling myself good for nothing.My dream was to be a doctor.However with those less marks I was eligible for Ayurveda or Homeopathy course admission,which I never wanted.Engineering was not my cup of tea,so I didn’t even bother to fill up any application forms. In that crucial juncture we all were confused with the future :-) I appeared for every applicable entrance test for various courses.Computer Science was hot cake and dad wanted me to pursue that but for me it was secondary option after medical. After lotsa ifs and but’s I finally landed in Computer Science graduation course. What followed, during the graduation will make another post for sure.So 11th and 12th changed my perspective about myself — “Good for nothing”
Hey guys if you have not yet noticed,let me tell you, this blog has a new name now..yes its rechristened to Strings !!! When I started this blog I was novice in the world of blogging and was really taking baby steps towards writing and blogging. Since then I have come a longggg way here.
I hope you all would like this old wine n new bottle :-D
I need your opinions on this new name,how do you find it ???
Is what I have been for past few days. Its been almost more than 2 months, V and I are rushing out to some or the other place every weekend or some guests are visiting over..mostly weekends are busy than my weekdays. This routine made us exhausted to the hell…today was the first day in 2 months which was bit relaxed and lazy.
And I made no mistake in taking my much desired afternoon nap ;-) Guys,bare with me I hv to read a lot and comment on many posts…I know you all must have missed me badly :-D so here I am..back again ;-) Meanwhile many things happened to ponder upon,
India’s(worst) performance in Australia
Elections in major cities in Maharashtra
Peaceful Valentine’s day(our wedding Anniversary)
Saif’s ‘Punch Nama’ in a 5 star restaurant
Long pending marriage of my best friend
Dad’s safe return journey to India
So these are the headlines…detail news after a break :-) stay tuned !!!!
Just now I lost my temper over some petty issue with V…and I realized,I am becoming a highly impatient person day by day. People who know me personally know me for my forgiving nature,and loads of patience.Its in fact V,who is short tempered and no non-sense guy..but looks like our association is transforming us into each other.
While looking back over past few months I realised,the transformation is not overnight,I have fired 2 cooks in 4 months,coz I could no longer tolerate them and their tantrums,I left my cab over some small issue and the list is ongoing.This different side of my nature is disturbing and hurting me a lot..it does no good to me…most of the times I find myself moping over some or the other thing…feels like the peace of mind and sanity in my life has disappeared for no good reason.
I don’t like this aspect of my nature…suggest me some good way to come out of it.
Today, 6th January is the happy wala B’day of legendary music composer A.R.Rehman. In the morning on our way to office we were listening to all his compositions on various FM radios.
After reaching office I realised, my manager was on leave,since we share same desk,his absence is generally freedom or more than freedom to me ;-) I can read news papers(epaper in fact) take personal phone calls for longer durations and of course listen FM radio while working. So this was one of those rare days today.
On occassion of Rehman’s B’day,different competitions were held by FM channels, casually I replied back to one question via SMS and in next moment received a phone call on my cell phone. To my surprise it was RJ Shubhra online,I was not prepared for this kind of call in office..but somehow managed to be composed and talk to the mesmerizing RJ :-D She made me sing the song in between, where I did pretty well too.
In the next 5 mins I was on air….Yess…for whopping 2 minutes..I made my colleague who sits next to me,hear me on air..see guys I’m famous !!! well who don’t want to be :-P :-D
Hey guys this is for the first time in my blogging career I am writing for V, the love of my life :-) I would like to mention Celestialray’s similar post on her hubby inspired me notice similarities writing this :-D
If looks could kill a panther would be dead.My brown eyed hunk is blessed with picture perfect features, sharp nose,Rosy lips,Colgate white teeth and lustrous hairs.In short total husband material ;-) So in looks department he is the one who always dominates me :-(
Every now and then I get threatened to admire him,pamper him or else he would get enrolled in some college/gym and I would be solely responsible for the huge female fans waiting for him at our doorstep..hehhehehe :-D :-D
If he invites someone for lunch,dinner and he is planning to cook then I have to make sure I start nagging asking him to start cooking well in advance(least 3-4 hrs :-P) the expected time of invitees ;-) given his speed and knack for perfectionism,there is full possibility that guests would die hungry ;-)
I think he is blessed with selective memory,he remembers only few things he want to remember.e.g Once he got me a beautiful dress from Delhi and I was waiting for appropriate occasion to wear that dress(the appropriate time arrived almost after few months).Finally when I wore the dress,he says “Wow Shree,beautiful dress, where did you get this” :-( :-D
Before I gifted him iPhone 4, mobile phones were not meant for him. He used to carry one but was never aware where exactly the phone is lying in his office/car/house..so I used to joke on this, if someone is dying and needs ur help, better he/she call someone else but you :-P
He believes bathrooms are the most beautiful part of any house, he spends hours and hours in it…in reality girl’s are supposed to take longer time in bathrooms but in our case it’s totally opposite.
He gives me very good company for shopping, in fact he insists on me trying whole lot of clothes he selects for me in mall,shop.I agree I like that quality of him a lot :-D compared to other creatures of his species ;-)
He is very choosy about the accessories he/we use may it be perfumes, shoes,or crockery in kitchen etc he has to be involved In the shopping. No wonder it takes a lot of time for both of us to agree on one single item:-D
He is a great fan of MLTR,Bryan Adams,MJ and few more Halliwoodd artists..the moment he starts singing any song,be assured he won’t be torturing singing it more than 2 lines ;-) Thanks to his memory :-P
He is very alert.Even while sleeping.The apartment where we live has fire fighting system in place,in case of emergencies like fire it’s automatic voice alert system starts instructing occupants to evacuate the building.On some night the false alarm went up and V heard the automatic instructions while we were fast asleep @ around 3 am.Suddenly he kicked woke me up,gave me a shawl to wrap,got car keys,our apartment keys and we started rushing down through stairs. We almost went down 5-6 floors then one aunty peeped out of her apartment and told us about false alarm :-P
He is very good critic judge of food.He can exactly tell you what’s precisely good about the food and what exactly went wrong,even if the proportion or that extra burnt cumin seeds ;-)
