An Ode to the super nice bro :)

A lot can happen over a coffee.. ! Well I would say a lot can happen over a chocolate! Yep! That was my first conversation with him, in fact first argument! Well thanks to our common friend and yahoo and orkut and gtalk! I always found my college pretty boring types and out of the blue pops up this super nice guy! Well I would say he is super nice coz he has a super nice sister, that’s me ;)
24 days younger to me, who still calls me DEDE right from his heart! For the first time I ever felt an emotional touch when I’m called dede and trust me no one else can call me dede the way he does! He has filled the gap of 20 years so perfectly! The most decent awesome guy I ever met! Jeshuuuu.. as I call him..I am sure I’ve made him go crazy every time with my hopeless pathetic amazingly nothing talks.. Poor bro had to listen to em coz I’m his elder sis.. hehe..
What can I say about this nice guy? he's the maddy aka sid of the DCH gang..! One guy who loves to experiment his avatar! And I so remember the way I would wait see him in canteen and comment on it ;) His love for movies made him give a tribute to HEATH LEDGER! Our first face painting session ;) hehe in fact my first face painting, I have no idea what made him risk himself for it! I should say bro sis love :D an ardent rajini fan! I just can’t forget my interpretation I did comparing his pic with the thalapathi pic! I should say perfect! One person whom I can count on no matter how big the problem is or how stupid I messed up! He so knows me in and out that I just can’t defend me when he pulls my leg! And I should say thanks to my stunningly pathetic college for giving us few crazy incidents.

The most cherished incident would be the bus incident..! I don’t wanna talk about this and get caught with the cep of google! I’m sure we would be sued if at all I open my mouth about this in detail here..hehe ;) and the crazy chats online.. if at all you were paid for chatting I guess we would have been the richest :D and yeah one guy who is an epitome of patience, calmness, soft spoken, hardly found in fights or arguments.. yeah the proud owner of still having a coffee mug which is not replaced by beer mug  Man he dies for coffee..!Oops forgot to mention.. he is so tall and i can never reach his head..always i've to stand on a chair or so! and this guy keeps making fun of me for it..!
One guy who taught me wat not to do and how to handle crossroads in life! He is super sweet to hear all my mokkais right from shopping to friends to crushes to anything under the sun! Oops first person whom I actually listen to when someone advises me! One guy who has been with me in all problems and walks of life! I really don’t think there can be any better emotional punch bag I got! We get busy with time and the materialistic world, but he’s one guy who gives me surprises and always loves me forever not matter how stupid and crazy I grow! I really don’t think I can write all about him in one blog! I don’t wanna say a thanks to this super nice amazingly decent brother jeshu.. Love you loads.. yours ever crazy happy go Dede..

P.S: Thanks for the wonderful bday gift you gave me.. guess what none of us realized it yet.. including me.. so i should say a totally new bday after7 years!!! reminder I’m missing you jeshuuuuuu! Muaaahhh

Colors of a Fairy-tale!

Well i was just rereading my old blogs and was so surprised to see the way things have changed in life.. there are changes in priorities, responsibility.. sometimes it just makes me wonder if it is the real me! We all change through life, getting new experience few happy and few sad, making new mistakes.

Sometimes you get weird dreams which would make wonder if you're living someone else's dream or someone else is living in your dreams. There are somethings which remain the same just to remind you who you are and what you are worth! I am glad that one thing has never changed in my life that's my approach to life, family and friend!Sometimes i so wish i could roll back to my childhood, all you have a is happy family with no worries. A dream life all pink and happy and nice..! I should say nice is not a word to describe it. All i can say is that life is never a fairy-tale.. But sometimes in the middle of an ordinary life someone else's choice gives you a fairy-tale! Do fairy-tales come true?? if you expect an entire life pink then i must disappoint you! Life is like a bubble you never know when it would burst but when it does you should know how to handle! Most of the cases you don't know to. Sometimes life makes you feel AWWW each morning, you wake up think fresh, makes you smile when you are tired, it makes you a better person,makes you stronger and wiser an yea it makes you HAPPY!!! This fairy-tale does not just happen!Every day, every hour, every single minute, you work for it! you work harder for those every moment of life! You adjust, you care, you love, you compromise for those precious moments and those special ones. You create your own fairy-tale full of fun, happiness and love!

PS:Never expect ~ Live life like there is no tomorrow ~ love from deep down you heart ~
smile like a sunshine :)

OH MY GODDDDD... THE TOUGHEST INTERVIEW!

"Live everyday like the last day of your life", a cliche statement. Why do you think am saying this..? auright stop squeezing your brain! it has nothing to do with wat am gonna write.. lolz.. Well wondering wat am upto write? it's about marriage material!!! Parents in India they look at dating and flirting as a big deal. The best and the funniest part of arranged marriage is that you get to flirt and date your potential gurl/ guy who can soon be your life.. LEGALLY!! Craziness is all i would say though it's such an awesome feel.. i am none out of the box in this marriage world..! Wondering if this is marriage season.. just not humans even technology has started to fall in love.. Microsoft fell for Nokia/ HTC, Google committed to Motorola, and yeah the Apple is single and having fun! No wonder matrimony sites are filled with profiles like stars in the sky! The whole process of finding your soul mate has become like board examz.. omg! you scored a 9/10 in your horoscope match!!! Wow dat's like a great score as if you are gonna get admission in the world premier colleges! Had this crazy conversation with my friend at 2 in the night..She is married and she was like god knows who is this perfect couple.. i was like i so wanna meet someone who scores 10/10 ! is it something like 6/10 is the pass percentage..? and you score 10/10 you never fight and stuffs ? She was like man i don't think there's any couple who doesn't argue and fight and have misunderstanding! i was like ohhhh yeahh..Technically if all your stars are in perfect position then your are gonna be the perfect SOUL MATE!!! Next time if the couple fights its time you blame the stars and not yourself ;) not that i don't believe horoscope..but it has its own level of acceptance! Its very much obvious that u can't be this ideal/perfect couple! different minds how can you so think alike.. This is not like what happens to Marshel and Lilly in How i met your mother..where they actually feel the same thing at the same time! Horoscopes are scientific but you just need to know if your astrologer is scientific enough to understand the stars..! Man, this is supposed to be the most sweetest and ever cherished part of your life but few make you feel like you are attending the most important interview in your life! (i'm so glad that i ain't feeling so) its time we actually find a better way of interviewing just to make sure you are the right one! i wonder if there is someone called the Mr. & Ms.Right!! To me life is short, stay happy. it's all about sacrifice, compromise and trust than to fight on the whole issue again and again! Anyways at the end it..all i can say is good luck in your search!and yeahh my charming loving prince who ever you are, where ever you are ! keep smiling and love your life.. kisses and hugs to you!


PS: Finally added some romance to the Most important interview of life..!

WOWWWW I am standing right next to TAJ MAHAL!!!!!

Well.. After all that roaming in the city that never sleeps, I was in the land where nature and history meet – India, My lovely country.. Nothing beats the visual treat of busy and noisy roads, colorful atmos.. Missed all of them..The Duranto express was great with all my cousins around. The entire child in us was born again, jumping from one berth to another, getting down the stations, fighting for the upper berth and blankets. After all the hungama in the train, We reached Agra. The railway station was such a mess as expected and yeah not to mention about the tour guides who keep roaming all the way in the station just to bargain some $ and Rupee from the tourists! After all the bargaining, we finally reached the hotel for some quick refreshment. Wow watttaa breakfast.. aloo paratha’s, paneer paratha, sabji, yoghurt and pickle. After the good yummy breakfast, well I would say heavy breakfast, we were all geared up for our first day in Agra. Walking through the roads was a mess! I so wished that the govt took extra care of Agra ~ the most favorite tourist spots of India. And our guide collected our entry tickets to see the World’s beautiful monument; yes it is the TAJ MAHAL – the symbol of Love! I wonder if sun has fallen in love with the TAJ oh my god..! It was so sunny that we were so dehydrated by the time we finished the security check. Well biological abnormalities we were so high to see the beautiful monument!

Wow She definitely is a white beauty. Guess everyone should look at her and feel the beauty of it. Everyone from small to grownups take a lot of clicks, that you get calls from FB and says god sake stop updating your profile pic.. lolz.. On a personal end, I would say I loved every bit of TAJ, the love of river Yamuna hugs her around. I call her the white beauty; she was so calm stood still as I saw her 20 years back. Yes, this was my second encounter. Though I hardly remember seeing the TAJ, and all I had to kick my memory was a family pic taken when I was 3 years old may be! Not to mention I overheard some conversations of young lovers saying “Tum mer jaan ho..n blah blah blah “ Well after hearing this I so felt like giving one shot right on his head ! All I could call was hopeless romantics! Let’s not get there! After all the sightseeing and the long walks, we came to a small shop right outside the Taj Mahal, bought water bottles. We were so tired..and could so relate us to the nimboos ad wherein the sun sucks all the energy ;) Then went to Café Coffee Day ~ Anything can happen over a coffee, as they say. CCD Agra had a nice the Indian interiors, never mind we hardly noticed it since we were so dehydrated.. ordered some cappuccino , latte , Devil’s Own and ice tea! Felt so fresh.. When you are in Agra, how can one miss to taste the Agra Pedda..! the juicy and sweet yummy taste triggered all our taste buds.. After all the sweet eating we got ourselves some spicy corn. After visiting the Agra fort, we hired a car and headed over to Jaipur. Well once we cleared the check post at Rajasthan, We found a lot of locust flying around the highway. It was unusual for us! Anyways after a long drive, we finally checked into a hotel and had a tight sleep. Okay guys more of Rajasthan coming soon!

Concrete Jungle ~ NYC.. Life Unplugged

There are some moments when life flashes by, and you drop everything that you are doing or thinking to stand in awe of those moments. It all started with imagine cup New York in july. I really don’t think a blog can pen down all about the city that never sleeps – NEW YORK, USA. The most extravagant stay at Marriot Marquis, Broadway, makes you feel like a New Yorker. A perfect place to consume all the energy. New York on the whole gives you a fabulous experience.. you can quietly partake or watch all the fun..A walk through the Times square is a must for all.. the lights, the crowd, the naked cowboy, Fifth avenue, Hard rock café, restaurants, theatres.. best place to experience the fast moving life.. And if you are someone who loves a silence greenery and you find yourself in the midst of huge buildings, NYC can never be a disappointment for you.. You have a great place to wander away from the frenzie gust of NYC , yes its Central Park – with extensive walk paths, lakes, zoo, strawberry field, Harlem.. New York is an epitome for those who love fun.. The musem of Natural History is a great educational gateway for kids. is well known for it's exhibits like the full-scaled blue whale ( the largest living animal ) that hangs from the ceiling of the Milstein Family hall of ocean life, it's famous fossil collection, the planetarium and so many others. My personal favorite exhibit is "The Hall of the Age of Man" know called "The Hall of Human Biology". This exhibit has the most in dept history of human evolution in the world. It has a collection of anatomically correct models of are ancestor's and other early primates. The Rockefeller centre is one of the most popular attractions in NYC. A beautiful New York destination all year long, the Rockefeller Center is home to numerous NY events, including the lighting of the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. This iconic NYC landmark has been featured in dozens of films and TV shows over the past century, and is home to the legendary NBC Studios and Saturday Night Live. With its serene statues and beautiful art nouveau murals, Rockefeller Center is also a popular destination for art enthusiasts in NYC. The Rockefeller Center features Top of the Rock - an observation deck atop the GE Building with panoramic views of Central Park and the Empire State Building. The lower plaza, you have a nice view of the sculpture of Prometheus and the GE building. How can one forget the Charging bull or the Wall Street bull, a 7100 Lb Bronze sculpture.. As you head down the road, you head to the Memorial for the WTC.. Wat moved me the most was the Amex memorial for their 11 employees.. last but not the least..you see a beautiful monument that depicts the symbol of friendship between France and USA.. Yes it's the Statue of Liberty, located in the harbor of NY. The historical gateway for millions of immigrants to the United States , the Ellis Island. The friendly neighborhoods - China Town, Little italy, greenwhich village,soho and the must walk thru the oldest suspension Brooklyn bridge would make you feel all new and fresh.

This magical city can never be described in words..The song by Aliciakeys is so perfect.. Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.. there’s nothing you cant do.. Lets hear it for New York, These streets will make you feel brand new big lights will inspire you.. Lets hear it for New York New York New York..!!

Feeling Cloud 9 ?

Happy? hyper? excited? do all these relate to cloud 9? or do u believe in cloud 9? Personally, yes i do.. very much in fact.. We never understand that happiness is just an attitude.It's just up to us for living it happy. We either make ourself feel miserable and pathetic or happy and strong.
First time in life am feeling much better than ever. Life is going good with hectic schedules yet should say great. Feeling lucky enough to get some good positive emotions everyday(touch wood).Somehow i catch myself to the point that i'm smiling more these days, not sure what the reason is again. But the feels good just to be back to myself after a couple of months of frustration. Being myself the way i want, the way i am feels really great .We always complain  about life but we never realize that we would be much happier if start to look beyond the imperfections. It's just about living life pinky and happy. You got the right to be happy. You just have to be. If you are, everything will fall in place. So just pull in yourself and FEEL GOOD! FEEL HAPPY! Yeppie I'm on cloud 9.. lolz.. keep smiling :)
