TGIF
I think all the companies have started hiring asslickers only ...lets face it and also admit that we cannot be one of them.
Prachi- good you started free lancing...wise decision.
I am gonna shop in lajpat nagar this weekend....
Anshu - i havenot worn skirt that we bought from LN ...did u?
Mons- are u back?
Thursday, August 28, 2008
Though u guys dont listen to waht I say U got to read what I have written
She will fit here perfectly as my company will win hands on on ass licking competiton
how do us say Raam milaye jodi hai woh for my place....
AND THIS IS A DECLARATION
Shweta wants to stay in a hotel with a swimming pool and this is, when she does not know how to swim.
People, if she is found in the pool of the hotel we are staying in, you know it is because she was trying to SWIM and (not because I did something)
Because she now thinks the Baywatch lifeguards have been employed in Singapore hotel swimming pools
Hi
I am learning how to manage people smartly from someone....and also smart work....kaam ki fikra karo na karo kaam ka zikra karo zaroor. bl...hell ...all are CH
ladies...i have an idea-lets open a training school and do something on our own///kya khyaal hai???
Nostalgia ***week??
My team commented yesterday that "those were probably the best days of Savy's life "
I have told them n number of stories of the glorious days.
I am hoping that does not hold true. Not because they were not good days because I want to see better. I think Ambrish should be thanked for getting some Mad people together.
I think there is not one person I have not been impressed with in that place till the later years.
One more thing I think we all left at a good time not getting bitter about the place.
I saw this pic of Cool gurus (we named that rotom) with one of the guys here he is ex tecnovate and I was like that was my office and what are you guys doing in there???
Anyways no doubt that THOSE were the days but I think it was a lot to do with all of us being able to look upto people (majority of them at least).
Also, I know all of you may not feel this but I had always felt sort of protected on the sales floor where you had nikhil n raja n rajeev taking the major blow and then doling it out to you.
Also,I think at least the organisation was very transparent about the money they wanted to make a bit vulgar but atleast all of us knew what was required.

Ebookers Days

Other people like MSB, NGY, VIM, RV ufffff
I fought with Vimmy once....dont remember why...also with Gopal yes I remember we were handling a batch together and I just could not adjust with him.
Anshu/mons - how u guys used to handle us???? we were so difficult and tough...now I realise when I am handling people.
but good fun...made some good friends

Tuesday, August 26, 2008
Anshu Anjali hai naam ....ask me
Nobody likes me in the 1st go i wonder why ??
1st impression
Savi : I liked her the day i took a session with her batch i guess sales training because nandita wanted to take my batch for some strange reason. I did not interact with her till the time she joined the training team . I remember savi and i use to sit together and argue endlessly about the sales floor ...kya man what passion na ?
Anshu & Monica : I would like to thank madhumeet for us ..she made us bond really really well. We have had some crazy days but it just made us like each other even more. AND THEN the famous meet in THE PARK HOTEL - THE DOWNFALL of evil empire he ha ha . I love the time in the HR room with alok and manish WOW that was fun.
Shweta : We are still in the process of knowing each other. I thought you were the very quite types BUT i can say that i am wrong. I am enjoying knowing you . My days @ yatra -some people really need to get over themselves and stop thinking others are fools! It is fun meeting some people :D
OK people we are meeting on SUNDAY before S&S vanish again to Singapore . Anshu please be on time ..living on a different continent is no reason to be late ;D
BTW i have cut my hair really short ...enjoying it and my Yoga was good !
My momma always said life was like a box of chocolates…you never know what you're gonna get
-Forrest Gump
Hello Girls
look at us- Savy and me traveling to Singapore and Prachi's is just back from bom.
Mons and Anshu -spice has all gone from ur lives...common!! kya kar rahe ho!!!!
Yes both of us (Savy and I) are quite optimistic...we are booking window seat so that we might get Mr Right next to us like bollywood movies..ha ha
Prach's - i hope u had a fantastic 2 days in Yatra :-)
would you guys believe this - we have not even travelled to Singapore and Savy is planning another trip to Pondicherry ohhhhhhhh let me just rephrase ...spiritual trip to Ashrams!!! and just to add to this she wanna take stopover in Bhopal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Savy- In case u find your Mr Right travel with him plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
First impression:
Mons : long long time back...I met her in Abacus office, she trained me on Abacus.... full day. Excellent trainer must say...lil strict though. when I joined training deptt...I used to find difficult approaching her as I was scared of her dead serious looks but we became pals soon.
Anshu : Bindaas and mast!!! Anshu dropped me home on my first day in training . the first question she asked- Any boyfriend ??? and i lied :-)
Prachi: Snobbish !!! saw her first time when she came to tiketing bay for something...but perception totally changed when I joined training dept...helpful....welcoming...Prachi - I rememeber your training on Multisector itinerary..that was good man
Savy : Oh My God!!! kitna boltee hai. ....i think that summarizes all:-)
I saw BAH..i liked Ranbir a lot !!
I still complain a lot!
Well abt 1st impressions:
we all know what I thought of Ms. Sharma! ha ha ha, still can't get the image out of my mind! i wonder what did Ambreesh think of bringing such a varied & different bunch together?! PS, MD, AT, Kam, NGY & the other lady whose english was ------
oh! This brings me to another memory - this one you have to ask Mons to elaborate on! Mons - remember when this lady (God can't recall her name- age i guess, but never mind, will call ler lady); fell in love wz one of her students?! & his newly wed wife was in Prachi's class. We the gossipy ladies were itching to know the truth & Kam followed them one day after the morning session (this was in C79) & lo-behold what did she see - the wife also parked in a diff lane waiting to catch the culprits!!!! ha ha ha & that is not only.
1 day Mons & i were returning home in the afternoon & we saw the lady go towards a car parked in the lane Opp the new office & slide down the seat (don't get naughty ideas.. she was just hiding) . Mons, me & chal meri Santro followed them to the Ashram crossing & recognised her by her hair-rubber band.... we couldn't believe our own sleuthing! now we couldn't contain ourselves & wanted Vimmi (who kissed the ground the lady walked on). So we decided to gv her a lift back home one day too - we were being so generous.. The repeat of the previous incident happened & we "guided" her towards recognising the scrunchy & our shock was so genuine!! & all we had were open mouths & so much of over acting .. pls ask Mons for expressions -they were to die for!
Now that i think My Tecnovate days were an experience and a lifetime back, but for the memories..
So live that your memories will be part of your happiness. ...
What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined... to strengthen each other... to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
More memories coming back to me & i can go on & on - but i need to get back to my assignment - or i will never pass!
Heritage
hey , happy people..am homesick now..I have been studying finance for the last 2 days phew!!
What life makes us do..Sunday was good, i went to Charminar(dirty and crowded) and then Golconda fort...it's really awesome..I have developed this love for our country's rich culture and heritage..I want to do something to preserve it..any ideas??
Talking about the first impressions-I still haven't figured out how I lasted with you all for so long!!I am trying to forget the first impressions...........................................:) :) :)
Prach-we exchanged one sentence in 40 days
Anshu-Was complaining about someone on day 1..i think the cab had come late to pick us up!!
Shweta-i knew from beforw and kinda liked but her funny side surfaced in COOLGURUS ..
Savy-I liked you when I interviewed you ........

Being a winner is more than getting a first place trophy, it is acting like the effort was an honour and the trophy is just a decoration.

hello party people
Mons come back now ..how much will ya study ?? Ok we have to meet this weekend if mons is
back.Let's all go for a nice play
Savi : I started reading Jhumpa Lahiri i like the way she captures the relationship between father & daughter so far so good
Me looking forward for next week.
Anshu : Who is this drew look alike tell tell ? Drew was perfect for u ...he was so sweet :)
Mons name of Voodo Restaurant
Loooong time ago.
I remember to so, because till then you were the strict, serious, no nonsense Manager that I dreaded working for. In fact, when Anshu was almost about to leave for WNS and I had not quite moved from OPS.
I had thought of not joining training ;) because I thought I would not be able to relate to you.
So much so for "judging the book by the cover"
Lets all write about the first impressions we had of each other.
Prachi- OMG I still remember this. She was wearing an orange t shirt and black trousers.
I had heard so much of prachi is fab , this n that from Vinny (he used to worship the ground she walked on like so many of the oldies ;) . That I was like what this girl 2 days outta college.
Well, and then she was training the other batch and not mine when I joined so she was the other trainer ;) nice and cordial and busy.
Shweta- Sweet and quiet. Till I came to know her and her smart one liners.
Got along from day one. She was fine with everything and her kept her funny one liners coming.
And yes we shared similar opinions about the V n A team and of course Harry :)
(Well just to clarify before anyone gets it wrong V n A team members lovely people all of them but a not so good combo)
Anshu- had told me that you were joining and I and u were supposed to be look alikes (people need to get there eyes checked my bro says). So here to I had a prelude.
And looking at Anshu I was happy that people had that image of me. Bindaas, always smiling
and pleasant.
(Now now I am not sure if the Anshu will be happy of the converse )
Saturday, August 23, 2008
Am alive & kicking
Friday, August 22, 2008
Wishful thinking ;)
I know for sure that Prachi is having a good time, Andy is too dependable in that regards ;)
And I am going to be sitting next to this rich, good looking, sensible, moral guy on my flight to Singapore who would have been fortunately ;) downgraded from his Biz class seats.
Shweta will also have good company (goes without saying -not me) in Singapore and will leave me alone to enjoy my rendezvous with Mr Sensible/Right.
Only downfall I would have liked to meet Mr Right in Rome or Amalfi.
I remember Shweta raving about Singapore and I would pour cold water over all the enthu by saying "Yuck! Singapore I don't want to go there is nothing there except for clean streets and tall buildings.And I am never wasting my money on it."
And 3 days ago Shweta calls and says Singapore chalna hai there this really cheap fare for 11k
and without blinking an eye I go, "Haan"
**Mons feedback---- I remember u had this fav restaurant in Singapore which one was it ??***
And above all I realise in the past two months deciding to go on this trip is the happiest/at peace/feel good time for me.
So much so that Mom can see it on my face and has not even asked me once how am I going to pay for it :) (because eventually she pays off all my credit card bills, she does not like her daughter paying interest to the banks)
Anyways if this is what I want,
I think, I have some more thinking to do.
And yes , Anshu you are going to meet this really nice Irish guy who looks like Drew
and he is incessantly trying to take you out on a date .oooo.....Arrey zara haan keh bhi do na...
****Happy studying u may also have a cute looking prof for your next term and then college is going to be all rosy and fun****
And about where are we going ?
WE ARE GOING WHERE WE WANT TO WITH HOPE AND FAITH IN OURSELVES.
MIRACLES MAY HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE BUT I AM GOING TO MAKE MY OWN......
kuch zyada optimistic hai uppar wala hazam na hua ho to
I have recently read this one P Coelho Zahir is more realistic and I find my situation in complete agreement to it.
"There is nothing as absolute freedom, you have the freedom to choose an option and then commit yourself to it."
South Indian Wedding
Yesterday I attended wedding of one of my trainers..he is a south Indian.
Wedding was in South Indian temple in Mayur Vihar and guess the timings morning 1030. I was told that muhurat time is between 1030-1045, I was so keen on seeing their wedding...but like an Indian I was 10 minutes late and marriage was almost over... (South Indians are so punctual unlike us Indians :-) anways i missed the wedding but not the lunch which was actually a main focus. thankfully weather was good and it let us enjoy ethnic south Indian food as there are no AC's in temple!!!!! I was free by 1400 hrs (in just half day!!!!) and i came back home.
I got chance to relax at home after my hectic Udaipur trip...I slept...woke up at 6pm..hit the gym..then went to dental clinic for cleening. I also went to another doctor as I have bad throat too....so overall I DID NOT WORK
Where are we going?
Parents hv gone back, I am broke and have so much studying to do.
It has been raining in Mel and the weather is bloody cold & just the other day i was telling someone it is finally getting warmer & i was enjoying the chill in the air..
I have 2 assignments to write for next & haven't even started & don't want to... Shwets not so much fun to study after the first few months, would prefer earning money any day.
Well i have seen both Singh is Kingh & BAH - i liked both & enjoyed them - i guess desperation for anything other than studies.. So why are you guys off to Singapore? come to mel from there - i think the Air Asia fares are very cheap.
Prachi why are you in BOM so often - why bon't you just get married & live there?!
Mons enjoy yourself & party hard in Hyd, but it must be hhhhot & humid....
Come on guys, Give me gossip - what is happening with the others?
Thursday, August 21, 2008
hello all
BOM is going good missing Delhi , i think i really like being in Delhi. Missing my yoga big time....eating a lot here . SIN hmmmm sounds good.
Wednesday, August 20, 2008

Monday, August 18, 2008
Udaipur was nice and relaxing
Srinath ji is very famous temple and since Udaipur is very close to Ahmedabad, lot of Gujju's visit this place. Temple was all crowded. I did nothing but stood at one place and I fled along with the crowd. ..had darshan and came back the same way ha ha.
Savy, Mons- remember Golden temple Stampede...Srinath ji was worse than that.
Finally we were dropped to Railway station to catch Mewar express at 1830 hrs.
and the journey ends......and work starts again.
Ok.... I wont be able to make it for Goa in December as my brother would be here and and he would be getting engaged!!!!...yes he is found a life partner and wud marry her...most probably next march....I have been given deadline till next march too !!!!!...so I am on groom hunt now.
gals : Can we plan goa trip in Nov instead?
Savy ; what abt our Rajasthan trip....i guess its still on!!! shall i make a tentative itin and send and then we all can go to Rajasthan???
Sunday, August 17, 2008
The day is over night may fall
Can't tell how good it is too receive free money :) whatta blessing some festivals are.
After a loooong time am looking forward to Monday and I don't know why.
Prachi ----- you still have an unfinished assignment remember we all were planning to meet ??
Mons- Have a good time in Hyderabad and hope u shopped till you dropped.
Finally
weekend was nice & dry...it was bliss..I went and spent the day at the parlour, trying to look younger..with LIMITED SUCCESS..:( :( but who cares..there is always Prachi's yoga..
Am off to Hyderabad for 15 days, away from the same people and walls..looking forward to it..
I plan to go shopping today..haven't shopped in years...
Saturday, August 16, 2008
You finally got me to Blog!
How are you guys doing? Mons is right I do read the blogs once in a while & feel so much a part of your lives that i forget the distance..
Thank you all for the Wishes, got to speak to all except PS - ha ha probably because i knew she would start pestering me to Blog. Mons & Savy, by the way - she did sms me to Blog, the lady must be earning a lot to send international sms's.
Mom Dad just left yesterday & i am depressed... but it is good though, as for the past 3 weeks i haven't even bought my course books, let alone start studying them. It is puring in Melb too & it is B..... freezing cold too!! Uni is fun yet difficult at our age - sitting for 3 hours at a stretch is difficult.
To gv you guys an idea - i travel from home to the nearest station (20min) take a train to the city from them (25-30Min) ; Take either a tram or bus to Uni & same way back home. since most of my classes end around 2130, i end up at home around 2245. since we are away from the CBD i am a little paranoid at the station at night, but from the city @ 2200 also the damn train is full - means fullllllll. & most of them students & that too Indian, feel so much at home then... ha ha ha
Unfortunately guys, no good looking men here - OZ are arrogant, mostly chinkies (look like Chaks) & the rest are Indians.... Wondering what the hell did i come so far off for?!
Can i upload pics on the blog? yes - How?
rest later & guys keep up the good work - I am loving it!

New Record
I hold the record FOR six hours of non stop non driving and sitting in the car .
Anyone else up for a challenge ?
Wonder if any of my mumbaite friends can challege that.
Never am I going to say that Rohini is too far and takes ages to reach, I hold a new definition of ages to reach.
Ages to reach is when you have a road and a vehicle but you still can not move.
Ecstasy- to use your car's third gear after 4 hours of driving.
Yes, Mons approaching and eventually crossing thirty redefines so many things :)
Happy INDEPENDENCE DAY in a good way as we have a bright sunny day and am looking forward to spending rakhi tomorrow with my maternal side.
All of us cousins play cricket and fly patang, I am not good at either but am good at bullying and pleading so they let me bat and hold the manjha when the kite is far away from danger.
Yes, the jam and the bad roads are part of life and essential for us to learn a lesson as a developing country.The same as a part of growing up.
Now it is upto us to make things better.
So JAI HIND and enjoy your day.

Marooned!!
Col, I think yoga is a super idea..and of course, your target audience is just right..
AT reads blogs however doesn't write..(NRI from NOIDA attitude)
Hey, our Olympic guy is kinda cute..very cool.
Jhola utah ke chalein
Call me an escapist but that is what I wanted to do this entire week.
To top it all have started reading Paulo Coleho's Zahir and in the first few pages of the book the main characters wife is talking about how people just end up working, taking care of kid etc and never do what they want to do and most of them want to travel, seems like she is talking about me. SO i just want to pick up my bag and go......
Alexander the super tramp :)
The day at work passed and I did not even notice.
Phew! thats called a lot of insincerity
Wednesday, August 13, 2008
Okay Okay but i will not give up ....

My day was good in fact great , Yoga was amazing yes painful.
Guys i am thinking of running a one day workshop for all my 30 yr old women frnds DOES not include you people as you guys are trainers. What do you think of the idea ? I will take up a small room in maybe Russian center or something and if it goes good then will make it public . Maybe we all can then work on it say what ?
HAVE To DO SOMETHING IN LIFE !
To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human - Matrix
***Col Prachi***
I thought Prachi was just reminding me with the sms writing the Blog.
Well done Prachi, it is not just an idea that changes your life, it is the dedication and zest that you have to infuse everyone with.
Gr8 work I wud say.

Monday not as expected
Ok question for the day : If you had be a sport's trainer which sport would you choose ?
Me : Football
Hi Gals
I am working on a new project these days which is keeping me very busy and thanks to rain which keeps me in traffic for 5-6 hours daily. net net dont have time to think about anything else except work..GODDDDDD help me. Last week when I was stuck in traffic jam at NH8 I wrote a blog without logging in....i dont know where has it gone posted:-) funny me
I really look forward to this week end as I wud be travelling to Udaipur (Yahooooooooo)...oh forgot to tell u guys last week end I visited Jaipur. It was a fam trip from Oberois. it was such a relaxing trip. I took break from my health regime and had good yummy food, stayed in Trident. There were 9 people from diff diff travel agency (most of them were owners of their agncies). In my 2n/3 d trip - we visited Forts, did shopping, spent half day in Raj Vilas.
Raj Vilas is a lovely property and you can rent its highest category room for just Rs 2 Lacs/night!!!!! It has your own private swimming pool along with conf room, garden and other things. Jaipur was blessed with amazing weather at that time....when we were riding up to see forts we felt that we are in Mussorie....aravali ranges..clouds...cool breeze WOW!! trust me Jaipur was it at its best.
and last but not the least ladies...hold your breath..I only blew 1000 bucks in shopping///are u guys not proud of me????
ok bye for now...will keep writing!!

TEACH India
I have enrolled in this & have been allocated a NGO on M.G. Road..some meaning to life....
...another face of life
Saturday sun was welcome & I thoroughly enjoyed my drive to Delhi..I was so looking forward to meeting my folks..dont know why, we dont agree on anything when we are together!!!
Mom had organized a Shiv puja for maasi's long life...very interesting ritual, where panditji in the temple keeps chanting mantras while a stream of water and milk keeps falling on the shiv lingam..we managed to get maasi to the temple and she too participated in the puja, in her little ways.Her right hand has almost paralyzed..and she seems completely drained of energy..
I remember going to her as a kid to finish my needle work, she was so good at it...the same hand is useless now, she cant even eat without help...HOW MUCH WE TAKE FOR GRANTED, not realizing how lucky & blessed we are..
..Sunday morning I had to take her to India's number one oncologist, who comes to Delhi once a month..I hear it is easier to meet God than him...
Anyways, after a couple of hours of waiting we got to meet him...I have never seen a more approachable, warm, smiling doctor...so patient, he has patience to listen to everything you want to say..and meets over 200 patients in a day when he comes to Delhi..most people get cured after speaking with him...& guess what ??he is wheel chair bound...suffering from polio..
..I have been feeling like a useles worm ..I need to look for a better definition of ACHIEVEMENT.
..anyways, he says maasi has a long way to goo...lot of mediccation..& no guarantees...but then nothing comes with a lifetime guarantee..I have FAITH in God..he will take care..
Tomorrow is Monday..another week...more commitments..hope I fulfill them all...each one of us has a role to perform , irrespective of what's going on in our mind and heart...
...take care...we are blessed to have found each other
savi question : i wonder
Good Sunday & Savi well done !
Hoping my Monday to be good , i like Mondays strange but true i always have from the time i started working. It seems to give me a aim & reason to enjoy my weekend ..dam i think i am a weirdo!!! Am i the only one ? or everybody is somebody's weirdo ?
But these days Monday has taken a new meaning for me.
Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary
*Weekend Over*
Typical sunday is a lazy morning (and if you stick around read more of my daily blogs
Lazy is how I start my day)
and a quick de tour of office as there was some LAN cable switching shwitching,
had to make sure everything was A OK before everything went back to Monday mode.
Went to Khan Market today and had this tall poor kid begging for guess what ?
well, his exact words were, "didi, chips khila do"
And I could not help but stare at him.
One I do not give money to street beggars and it seems they always end up chasing me thinking just because I look soft I am soft and will melt and sympathize and loosen my purse grip.
Sympathize I do but not the other bit.
( What to say its a sad state of affairs for the poor whichever way you look at it, especially the kids and the older people)
Two, from asking for food to a chips bag, Macdonald's Pepsi etc, commercialization has really caught us and not left the street kids untouched.
and as if by telepathy while driving back there was this RJ talking about a girl on a specific red light who begs in a particular style and she was asking people to call her up (Yawn!) and share their experience.
I remembered one of such experience .While driving to Okhla from JNU there is this red light and there was this road work that had been going on for some time and the labourers had there tents somewhere nearby. A couple of kids would be on this red light and try and clean your windshield and then ask for a rupee (very dangerous).This little girl came next to my window and tells me, "didi, aaj bahut achi lag rahi ho, ek rupiya de do". I could not help but smile and gave her a rupee. Made me wonder if somebody taught her that or was I really looking nice.Vanity I tell you made me sacrifice my principle.
Since, then I have heard many use the same line.
The kid today also reminded me of this kid I met at the entrance of Dilli Haat and was very persistent that I get my shoes polished and I refused. So he asked me for some bucks and I was like what do you need that for? and he goes I am hungry,mujhey chowmein khana hai.. So knowing that govt. schools offer free lunches as an incentive for the poor to join and get educated I asked him if he went to school and had his mid day meal and he very innocently said, " haan lekin woh to din mein khaya tha.Ab to shaam ho gayi"
Speechless I gave him a tenner.
How do you expect a kid to understand that begging is a crime when he is not even getting proper meals?

Saturday ***My favourite day of the week***
went from south delhi to west delhi and back with Delhi going crazy day by day traffic.
And luckily did not have to drive.
And ooh saw a glimpse of langkavi, Good Job I would say.
Obviously woke up late (one of the reasons saturday is my fav day)
So had lunch at KFC in Rajouri Gardens some city mall.
One of my friends has recently come back from his KL trip and he talks as much as I do so he made me visualized the cable car at langkavi and how beautiful it was on my way to Rajpori from my place.
KL is one destination that I am very doubtful of in my places to visit list but I think Sudeep did put it back at least for sometime.
So Divz came and picked me up from this Rajouri Mall and we went to get her
pics clicked, she is applying for a new passport and then went to Khan Market, for a cup of coffee, saw the rush and decided to have coffee at Maurya.
We had both decided we were not hungry however as soon as we entered the coffee shop we saw the dinner buffet and both of us go "bookh lagi hai"
And end up ordering a club sandwich, luckily it was not too good and we had only half of it (yipee saved some calories).
I had to take a taxi for home and had the pleasure of sitting in my favourite car Ambassador :)
They are so comfy and there is something motherly about them.
Wonder how many years are they going to be around for ..............
So with no thoughts of Monday I can go off to sleep today as tomorrow is Sunday.
You see Saturday is the only day which has no thoughts about work.
Sunday evenings remind me of the impeding Monday
Whereas saturday, saturday are just the most lovely day whether it rains, is hot or cold
whether I go out or sleep through out the day..... Monday is still distant.
Lazzzy day
I hate afternoon naps , they make me feel sick :(
hmmm missing not working out today. Actually had good home lunch with family with very interesting discussion about gay weddings and what is my parents take on it .I wonder when i get to my parents age will i be so open to the changing world or will i resist it ?
Hoping for active Sunday since Saturday was lazy

080808 ***Spooky**
So woke up in the morning at five and went back to sleep to get up at seven.
It was drizzling in the morning and the moment I stepped out of the door, Dad asked me to watch out for the newspaper wala as he was delivering newspaper and trying to make it land on the steps in front of my house on the second floor.
While I was descending the stair I noticed the newspaper lying in front of the door of the house on first floor house lying in a pool of water and voila, what do I see it has a plastic wrapper around it.
Kudos, somethings have changed and we are developing (and yes the newspaper wala was on a Bajaj scooter too)
(yes, we can debate about bio degradable go green stuff etc. later let me just smile at the customer service of HT or TOI for the time being )
Had a non traffic jam route to gurgaon and surprisingly back as well during peak hours on MG road, I truly was blessed today as I know that Delhi is jammed.
Met some new pot holes on the way back from work, some I was able to avoid as could see clearly and changed my course in time, some just had to be driven through as they were easier to navigate than to switch lanes and some just had to be driven through and experienced the jolt and the bump.
So I am back home now enjoying my cuppa of T.
And wondering when will I get drenched and really enjoy the rain?
Mesmerizing..
...today, I motivated myself to go to work..how life changes..
"Then it doesnt matter which way you walk," said the cat
"-So long as I get somewhere"
alice added as an explanation
"Oh,you're sure to do that, said the Cat
"if you only walk long enough"
....Linda Goodman on saggitarius women..
Raindrops keep falling on my head
India gate was looking amazing in rain . All of Delhi was green and brown!
Trained for two hours today good fun , could have done better. Excited for tomorrow training trying something new let's see
Nothing has turned out as we expected. It never does. Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect. We take what we get and are thankful it's no worse than it is

Today ...a present (gift) or not
My life policy very well said in the movie The Pursuit of happyness :
Hey. Don't ever let somebody tell you... You can't do something. Not even me. All right?
All right
You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.
First Step
I am so excited...
THANKS..P:)...you are a treasure..bt you lareday know that..right???
