New Hair Cut....New Life!



I had a new haircut and that made me realize that being a woman is so simple at times. My stagnant life has acquired a new vibrancy. My boring dull days have changed into happy fun filled ones. My attitude has totally changed from “not sure about anything” to “Lets make it happen”. All this, only due to a new haircut……I know that this can only happen to a girl! LOL!
So here is a post which shouts out loud to every girl who is suffering from a typical syndrome (common with women: P) which makes you upset with yourself for no good reason, don’t worry just go to a nice salon and get a new haircut, experiment a little. I bet you will start loving wearing pink again, eating ice cream without wondering about the calorie count, relishing on chocolates when no one is watching you, shopping for the exact same shade of a dress you dreamt of last night!!
Generally our confidence level is directly proportional to how we look and feel about ourselves. Ones everything is perfect….we can paint the town red!

Life is an irony :)

I am saturated today. I will have to write, scribble, and mumble something with my blog today. Otherwise I won’t be able to think a thing! It’s been a roller coaster ride for me all these months. Initially when I shifted to Mumbai I was all excited, happy and eagerly waiting for the fun to begin, for the parties to rock, for the dance to start and for the music to never end….then I settled. I realized its not always fun! I had to look for a job, which I had thought was going to be as easy as waking up in the morning! Well I was proved wrong! That phase of my life was really bad. Family and friends told me to give it some time, enjoy my vacant time, relax and have some fun, but all I was thinking was, I will never find a job, I will end up sitting home all my life, that we should not have shifted, that our life was so perfect in Chennai, that everything had ruined, etc. then one day I found a job suitable to my experience and profile. I was happy, thought how stupid I was to think of such extremes earlier. I was excited that finally my routine will start; I will not waste my days doing nothing productive, watching TV, lazing around with no motive. My ambitious side popped its hood the highest; I was raring to go, to join office, to start working, to set my life on track again.
I have joined more than a month back. Now I am busy as hell, with household chores, office work, and my brother is getting married in 12 days from now, so totally busy with that too. Merely 3 days of leave I can manage to get as it’s a “new job”. I don’t have time to breathe and so I am wondering about life more than ever. How at one point it gives you all the time in the world to relax, rejoice and analyze yourself but you don’t want it at that time….when you want it really bad it growls back at you and says, “When I offered you the time you wanted, you didn’t utilize it. Now don’t sulk!! “ ! It’s such an irony. Isn’t’ it? :) :) :)

Dont forget to remember....

There are some things in life you should never forget to remember…..whatever your age is, how much ever busy you are, even when you believe that you don’t care much……am going to list them down …..I know each and every one of you will agree to me…

The unbelievable happiness experienced while meeting your oldest friends…

The fragrance of new clothes and old books…

The sheer joy of spending a day at home with family...

The refreshing cup of tea amidst an intensely busy day at work…

The fun in getting drenched in the cold rain drops…

The soothing warm water of the shower while you bath…

The merriment in dressing up and admiring yourself in mirror…

The amazement in driving to office on a holiday because there isn’t any traffic…

The delight in humming a song you love while you cook or dress up…

The fun in bursting the balloons after the party is over...

The momentary happiness is always missed……we yearn for a longer, unseen happiness which is far away…..and let go off the immediate moments of unfiltered joy……Dont worry about things that might happen or are bound to happen....realise today before it fades away...
Well, I have been away for a while now, from blogging and surfing….but today I felt like writing this post so I took out time for it…but I am sure I will be back with more…I have finally shifted to Mumbai and enjoying life in my home town….starting newly from where I had left off …..I wasn’t even able to follow any of your blogs….I will be back when I feel like from inside….soon…pretty soon…

Chennai Charm!!

Chennai is city with amazing infrastructure, lush green trees, beautiful temples and bunglows... not many sky rising towers. Its a magical blend of both worlds...modern and old. Now that I am going to leave this city, I fill my heart with all the things that I loved about it. Here are only some glimpses of the city's spirit...I promise there will be more photos coming up. Enjoy!

I am Going Home - I am interupting the guest posts!!


I am elated right now, because I am going back to my home. I have lived in Chennai for almost 2 years now, but this above mentioned quote I guess describes the long and short of it. I have liked this city for its goodness. But I have never stopped missing my hometown. Not also for a single bit of moment.
I came here, with countless dreams in my heart and a little fear in my mind. I never knew how this city, the people would treat me. I met some really good people, who helped me, who supported me, who guided me. But I always found something missing. I always missed friends more than anything. I never had a group of girlfriends here, whom I could share my everyday stuff with. I was used to it back in Mumbai. I had so many friends. Here I had only Amit. I had no life apart from work and home. No hanging out with the gang, no evenings to meet friends, no fun actually. We created fun with whatever resources we had!! But it was never enough. We mostly cribbed, and then moved on, because there was no option. But now I do have an option. I am taking it up!
I am going back to my own land, where people speak the same language as I do, they eat the same food that I do, they watch the same movies that I do, they listen to the same music that I do….where people know me inside out…where I can be myself…without any compromises…any obstacles….I can live among people who understand me….
I am so relieved…..really. I can’t express in words. It’s not like Chennai is not a good place to live in. But it’s good only if you can speak Tamil, if you can eat rice all the time, you can enjoy tollywood movies……etc…
I could not manage any of it! But I have decided something amazing to do. I am going to click loads of photos that reflect the essence of this peaceful serene city. I have no complains….I am going to miss my home here….It was the very first home after our marriage ….I know I am not going to find a home even closer to this one in Mumbai….this house will always remain special ….not because it was big... not because of 24 hours water...not because of "no load shedding"...not because it was in a chic location, not because it had an open to sky balcony….…..….only because it was our very own first home!
My next post will have only photographs, of some of the things that I observed in this city, some amusing, some really funny, some sweet……watch out for more...

In Love With A Superhero


Know what y'all?
She's in love with a superhero
Ever since he's come into her life
Her problems have zeroed

[Huh?! What worries?]

He's hot, he's cute, he's strong
You should see his muscles sometimes
But now they've been away for long
Still her knight in shining armor shines

[He's wanted for being so dazzling]

He treats her like a Princess
He takes care of all her tensions
He understands when she fesses up
He gives her faith and attentions

[He is so everything]

She's in love with a Superhero
He's got more stealth than Batman
He's even more charming than Zorro
He could beat Batman

[He could give lessons to Edward Cullen]

His heart is so golden
His smile is so heart warming
In front of him, all even turns molten
All madness he gets taming

[He's charm at it's best]

He does things like magic
He is so brainy when he uses his logic
With him nothing is tragic
Thinking about him, she gets so nostalgic

[She misses him but he's always around]

Se snaps back from her reverie
As he talks, she stares at him thinking of his bravery
He is human by the end of the day
But so charming and heroic, the respect never fades away

[He lives with me every moment – in my heart, in my mind… He lives on…]
