Turn Back Time....

I Want To Go Back To The Time�

When GETTING HIGH Meant On a SWING, Not PROMOTIONS.

When DRINKING meant RASNA ORANGE, Not BEERS Or WHISKEY.

When DAD Was The Only HERO, Not DEPP Or TOM.

When LOVE Was MOM�S HUG, Not The GIRL / BOY-FRIENDS.

When DAD�S SHOULDER Was The HIGHEST PLACE On The Earth, Not Your DESIGNATION.

When Your WORST ENEMIES Were Your SIBLINGS, Not Your MANAGER.

When The Only Thing That Could HURT were BLEEDING KNEES, Not The TEARS Falling Down Your Cheeks.

When The Only Things BROKEN were TOYS, Not The DYING HEARTS.

And When GOOD-BYES meant TILL TOMORROW, Not For YEARS & YEARS.

Tip Tip Barsa Paani

Yesterday brought back sweet memories of childhood to my mind.....Its been raining like anything here in Mumbai from the past two days. And like always everything around has gone for a toss. The roads, the railway tracks, the localities and the lakes are all flooded causing trouble for the Mumbaikars.

Yesterday nobody worked much in office coz everybody was busy watching the news for updates on the rain. Post lunch all the school children were sent back home, and just when i was missing being a school kid, i was asked to leave coz everybody around was fearing for the worse....So off i went and i reached back home by 5.30 p.m! (a real luxury for somebody who doesn't reach home before 7.45 p.m)

And then i did what i love doing the most, i curled up on my bed with a cup of hot coffee and the laptop in front. I hopped, skipped and jumped thru all my favourite blogs and watched the rain from my balcony. :) I just love watching it rain, and i so missed being wrapped up in the tight embrace of my lover's arms. How i wish i had my bf with me, it would have been so amazing coz when i am with him time just flies by!

Anyways, Harry Potter: The Half blood Prince is releasing tomorrow and i like any other Harry Potter fan would not like to miss it for sure. I am gonna go and watch it on Saturday with my love. I hope it turns out to be good coz i hadn't liked "The Order of the Phoenix" that much. Till then cya people and have a gr8 week ahead!! :)

A Welcome Change

Finally the change that i have been looking for is here!! My membership with the gym has expired today. The routine of coming back from work and rushing off to gym is now broken. :) And the best thing to happen to me is the block leave (a compulsory leave of 10 days or more). Just what i was looking for. Its been long since i did something different, the last time i did something different was in April when i had gone to Goa for 3 days, the trip was gr8 but definitely short. It's time that i do something new so that i can get out of the rut that i am stuck in!!

So here it is, this Saturday i will be flying down to Bhubaneswar (those who don't know about this place click on it). I am going there for my cousin's wedding. Yes, my closest cousin who i literally grew up with is gonna get married on the 29th of June 2009, which is also coincidentally my brother's marriage anniversary. :) I still remember the times when i was on school, i used to look forward to the summer vacations coz as soon as they wud start, we would be off to Bhubaneswar for a long vacation.



The best part abt vacations was meeting my cousins and this cousin in particular coz she's just one yr elder to me, so we wud mostly do everything together. But i must say amongst the two of us she was the angel and i was but obvious, the little devil! :P On one hand she was this sweet, little, obedient gurl who wud always listen to what her parents said. And on the other hand, i was a complete rebel who always did what she felt like. I never liked to obey anyone blindly, i wouldn't jus do something coz i hav been asked to do so! In fact i still don't do that. :P That's coz i always do things that i am convinced about, if i am not convinced abt something, i won't do it, no matter what! So we would play all those silly games which i don't even want to mention here. ;)

Everything has remained pretty much the same, she's still the obedient, sweet and industrious girl. And i still pretty much am the rebel, if u wud like to call me so. She's going to marry a guy who has been chosen by her parents. They feel he will keep her happy coz he's passed from an IIM and he's financially well off! And i still being the gurl i am, have chosen my life partner on my own and will marry him when we feel we hav achieved what it takes to have a comfortable life together. I wudn't want to marry someone jus bcoz i am growing old or some other random reason!



Coming back to the point, i am not trying to ridicule anybody here. There are tons of gurls like my cousin who go the arranged marriage way every yr, each and every day. I would actually like to appreciate their guts coz i don't have the guts to marry someone who i hardly know, i can' t marry someone who i have met just once! I mean, hello! this is the man who i am going to spend my whole life with!! How can i assume that i will be happy with him just bcoz he has passed out from an xyz b-school and that he earns a 6 figure salary. I think it definitely doesn't work this way, i think when it comes to arranged marriage, most of the people just assume a couple of things or probably they are a sure bunch of optimistic people who wud like to believe that everything will be fine. Or another corollary to this is that mebbe i think too much!! Its best to plunge into a marriage headlong, without thinking of what will or will not happen.



All i can say here is "To each his own". As of now i just wanna let my hair down, enjoy the wedding and the celebrations and come back with a fresh mind to resume office. And i also have to think of an interesting way of work out. I know i still have the option of renewing my gym membership, but i m sorta bored of running on the tread mill and pumping iron. I want to do something new and different viz. kick-boxing, tai-chi, power yoga or pilates!? What say people, any suggestions?? I will do my research once i come back. As of now my bags are packed and i am off the the land where the wedding bells are tolling. :) This is not my last post b4 the break. So i am not saying a bye as yet!

Believe it or Not

This is a small story which has a wonderful message in it:

Once a boy went to a shop with his mother. The shop keeper looked at the small cute child and showed him a bottle of sweets and said 'Dear Child u can take the sweets...But the child didn't take any. The shop keeper was surprised, such a small child he is and why is he not taking the sweets from the bottle. Again he said take the sweets, now even the mother heard that and said, take the sweets dear..but still he didn't take it...The shopkeeper seeing the child not taking the sweets... he himself took the sweets and gave it to the child. The child was happy to get two hand full of sweets.

While returning home the Mother asked the child...Why didn't you take the sweets, when the shop keeper told you to take? Can you guess the response:
The child replied: Mom! my hands are very small and if i take the sweets i can only take few of them.. but now you see when uncle gave them to me with his big hands....how many more sweets i got!

Moral:
When we take we may get little, but when God gives he gives us much beyond our expectations....more than what we can hold!!

I Want to Go Back In Time When....

Decisions were made by doing eeny-meeny-miney-mo.

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, Do Over!

Race issue meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in Monopoly.

Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening.

It wasn't odd to have two or three best friends.

Being old, referred to anyone over 20.

The net on a tennis court was the perfect height to play volleyball and rules didn't matter.

Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a slingshot.

Nobody was prettier than Mom.

Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.

It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the big people rides at the amusement park.

No shopping trip was complete, unless a new toy was brought home.

Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was a cause for giggles.

The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.

War was a card game.

Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.

Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin.

Ice cream was considered a basic food group.


Just reminiscing my childhood days.....Alas kids of today hav a different tale to tell!!
