Almost single sounds like a nice read ...will pick it up on Sunday as andy leaves for Bombay :(

Hi

Reading Almost single its hilarious..i think it is written on us only..i can relate myself to Aisha on so many occasions.
Job front- Its getting boring day by day
personal Front- spending good quality time with family these days (I am glad I am doing that)
have blew up all my savings for the new home...so will start phase 2 decoration next year :-)

and my lil angel is wonderful, i will send u guys her photograph

Happy Diwali

heyy...hope yo had a rocking diwali...!! Mine was good..I am extremely proud to declare that I COMPLETELY stayed away from sweets though I have been hogging on dry fruits!!

Almost single is hilarious-am glad you got a copy..Shweta...and keep the score board ticking..keep meeting the guys..:) :)
Girls-at least 2 of you should tie the knot in 2009...apni bus to miss ho gaye..you board it while you have the time!!
lets catch up soon...job scene is bleary as ever!!

HAPPY DEEPAWALI PEOPLE

I am reading Almost single and Mom is worried ;-)

becoz she thinks that i have dropped the idea of getting married ..ha ha
book is good..im enjoying it. I like the character Misha more than Aisha//she is funny!!!!

BTW gals I might meet another guy shortly---my parents are serious this time and have told me to get serious too.
You are right Savy divorce is in the air but lets try to be a part of 20% :

By the Way

completely forgot to mention when two/three years ago all (well most of) my friends were getting married nowadays I get to hear about 35% of them are thinking of getting divorced............
and about 20% sure that that's what they want.

Life surely has new expectations nowadays.

Spoke to Nandita and she is shifting base to pune and I asked her if she wanted to meet for a cup of coffee.
so what say coffee with her in Nov? may be once anshu is back or maybe before that depending on the response we get here :)

Jaanein Kyun

Hehe Jaanein kyun I am all pepped up and find everything good.
Me not being able to find a job too :))))))))))
even the traffic jams :)
you see after the blasts the roads were all khaali and it was a bit unusual
So me too happy to see the frenzy despite the market and recession and retrenchment stories a week or two away, as most companies are announcing there decision post diwali
No work coming our way in corp travel as everyone has a T&E freeze.

so lets all live it up ..........................

Yes and Prachi love the song desi gurl and in fact I have started liking priyanka chopra.

Anshu is busy doing the disappearing act before coming home it seems.

Desi Girl o Desi Girl

ME SINGING DESI GIRL O DESI GIRL .........I like the song !

Anshu you should be singing this....O lakh lakh pardesi girl thr aint nobody like desi girl ding ding ding

Festive Season

I love this part of year.....lot of celebrations
Dushera, diwali, christmas and then new year ........yipeeeeeeee

I have a bad cold...buree halat hai
anyways where are u guys?

Gud weekend but slow monday

Sat -I went to Ayush's school for PTM (Parent Teachers meeting) as my di jiju cud not attend. his teacher appreciated him a lot except his bad handwriting (and that's khandani so nothing to worry as such:-)....It felt so proud as if I have done all the hardwork ha ha- Good experience
and then to hospital to meet lil one and di.
you know guys she sleeps all the time..she wud drink thoda sa milk and then sleep..phir kissi ka baap bhi madam ko jaga nahin sakta!! she is so small that actually amazes me...how such a small baby transforms into...
Di got discharged on sunday so whole day went in that. tomorrow is 6th day of the baby so we will have small puja at home.
Monday again at work...nothing enthusiastic...same people same work
I went to 2-3 book shops for Alomost Single but everywhere its out of stock ...will try for a copy and then read.
Mons - u will find something really gud soon, dont worry,....glad you are doing up ur home, its fun
Anshu- waiting for u to come ...we will have a bash
Prachi- how z work? any interesting assignment?
Savy - tum kahan ho aajkal ?

Good one !

In 1988, then-vice president George
Bush made a (Freudian?) slip during a campaign speech. He said, “We’ve
had triumphs. We’ve made mistakes. We’ve had sex.” He’d meant to say
“setbacks.” After the audience had picked itself up from the floor, Bush
observed, “I feel like the javelin thrower who won the toss and elected to
receive.” On the Nightly News, Connie Chung reported his gaffe—and his
excellent “recovery.”

..Guys, I owe you an apology for not blogging regularly.If it's any excuse, I am really stressed,boss issues(story of our lives!!) and not to mention the uncertainity on the job front.
I have started looking out actively..though I doubt if I meet with success soon..things are really slow.
As a contingency, I have started doing up my Greater Noida house so that i can start living there and save on the rent piece!!That's how my weekend went..talking to the painter, some plumbing issues etc etc..hopefully by nov , the house should be ready to move in.
..Shweta-I am really happy to see you so happy...!! I am looking forward to meeting the lil one in december!! :)
Prach-How are you feeling??After viral weakeness is worse than the viral itself..

I agree about Almost Single-it's a book wrth talking about..
Some other books that come to my mind are-Kite Runner/Alchemist..they are old but lets ensure that none of us miss reading these priceless pieces of literature.
Hey..how about reading something simple about Vivekananda and Vedas??That is life changing stuff..shall we take baby steps into that foray or is it too erly for you guys?
BE HONEST-coz I feel , I am reday to read that stuff..

..thoughts?

I have become Masi of a baby girl......Gr8 feeling

Ayush has got lil sister....thinking if calling her Ashi
She is so adorable...lil lil baby...cutie pie moooooa

Guys i was thinking that when becoming Masi feels so gud..what parents feel on a birth of baby?? amazing na!!

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy ...ding dong ding dong ding dong

Shweta has finally loaded our singapore pics and Anshu has joined facebook with no pic.
And I have not done anything new except for update my CV at naukri.

And yes I am going for artistic yoga tomorrow so pester by asking whether I went or not tomorrow.

ABOUT BC have not heard anything from anyone about it
and remember prachi asking to meet on 18Oct and then buying a book (did i read it right?)

I am not sure if I can make it.

But here is my list of books I would like to read some day so if you guys like anyone of them then you can consider it.

A Mighty Heart - Marianne Pearl (remember Daniel Pearl the journalist who was murdered )

One Hundred Years of solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Animal Farm- George Orwell

Short Stories -Prem Chand or Amrita Pritam (if we can get our hands on it)

Roots- Alex Haley

Catch22

Or anyone of Jhumpa Lahiri's novel

And if we want to start light as we can see it is taking weeks to decide a book
to pata nahi padengey kab tak
Almost Single (I and mons has read it and shweta has read two pages ) so prachi you just buy the book its by Adwait Kala and then we can meet weekend post Diwali for MC :) (LOVE THIS BIT PRACHI )

Enjoying the Spring!

Hello darlings!
how are you All doing?! i just finished my vacations & still am in the mood for more holidays.. Had an intersting class yesterday, where i learnt a little more about Chinese culture & how Buddhism evolved there from India & how it is different from the Buddhism in Thailand & SL! & how our values have influenced they way we work..
Everytime assignments & exam dates comeup, it makes me feel like a kid again with the anxiety levels hitting the roof! I am thinking beyond those & will be in India end of Nov - so am dreaming of the time when there will be no cooking, cleaning, washing & only eating, etc...
BTW i joined TAI CHI classes today & had fun! thought most of the participants were older than me - i still enjoyed myself - slow, relaxing & exercise- couldn't get better for a lazy person like me....

Well done to all 2 months :D

Hello people it's been 2 months since we started blogging !!!!
It's grt fun reading old blogs it takes you back on that day and how you felt also you can make out how each one of us felt that day ..sad / happy / thoughtful / nothing / dunno what / What the
F**** days / why .......................................
It's all in IT !

WELL DONE !

I am bored

Guys I am bored of my current profile now..
I need a change !!!!!!!

I am back people

had a nice stay overall...met lot of people after a long time
Long powers cuts...no use of having AC's and inverters... that's real India I guess

well its good to be back home but not work :(

Good time movie time

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Long time no blog I know you guys missed me terribly.
Mons and Anshu kuch likh bhi do yaar.

Saw kidnap with Mons,Ambi and prachi
wanted to kidnap imran khan from da movie.
He was trying so hard to mouth those stupid akkad bakkad dialogues with a straight face.
why could n't we have him like Joker aka Jack Nicholson if the script writer had to put the stupid nursery rhymes or like apan Sharook in baazigar all evil only.

Anyways it was fun watching the movie overall me with making loud comments and the uncle in front of me trying to tell me to keep quiet by banging his hand on the top of his seat (he he )
Ambs must have been embarassed Baaki logon ko to meri aadat hai :)
waissey quite a lot of people have told me to keep quiet during a movie but believe you me
it is only when they are stupid ones like face off and the likes no sir pair wala types.
Otherwise I am the best companion during the movies eat from my popcorn bucket and drink from my coke glass.

Hmmm going to ther books piece
I am actually reading Paul Coelho's The Valkyries and have been pretty slow like read soem days and not on others hence the BC suggestion.
So its upto you guys if you are up for some new age wisdom.

Other suggestions these I have read but would love to have a MC around it

Jumpha Lahiri's -Unaccustomed Earth
Altaf Tyrewala- No God in Sight


(both have short stories in it that link to one story)

Movies Movies o Ho

i watched a lot of movies this weekend ..it started with KIDNAP and then SAJJANPUR ( It is good in parts) and today evening HELLBOY ( I have some hope). It was fun coz i watched these movies with different set of people. Thanks to less work i am able to catch up with lots of people i really like and reconnect with them , making me realise that i had lost connection with them long time back :( . It's amazing how job takes over our lives , well in my case I LET IT take over and enjoyed it . And to be honest it will happen again COZ i enjoy it that way BUT this time it will be balance :D

Savi : I love your idea of BOOK CLUB ( BC ) and then MEET CLUB (MC) he he he he .

SO PEOPLE WHICH BOOK DO WE START WITH ????

FYI I am slow reader

I love the DOSTANA song : http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=FmOF4nyUtZI

Am travelling to my hometown tomorrow

After 4 years of long time, i am going to my hometown tomorrow with my Mom Dad...which is in eastern UP and the name of the place is Basti.
dont go by the name ...basti is not a village...its a district//my mom dad both were born and brought up there and we have a parental house ...a big house like a haveli with huge terrace and courtyard ,app 15 rooms with a traditional kitchen (with ofcourse modern equipments) as big as courtyard. My chacha stays there.
I am taking Ayush also along as he has never seen a small city and haveli...it also has a big garden with all kind of trees...i am gonna climb up the trees and pluck fruits and will make Ayush also do that.
Imagine..a city without Malls, no traffic Jams, people come back from work latest by 6p...sleep early by 9p..get up early by 5 AM....long power cuts but you can sleep on a terrace with natural AC on..
starting tomorrow morning and will be back sunday night.
I think these 3-4 days will be a different experience altogether.

Ok C u guys...
Kya huya aajkal no body is updating blog????
