In rhythm with life… Part 1...

“The line used for the topic of this post is been copied from an advertisement poster :)”

I was watching some old videos and slipped into the flash back (the only difference was my flash back was colorful unlike on silver screen. :D) But this flash of memories took me to the “left world” which was once “my world”. God, how I long for those days to come over and over again. Occasionally we meet, we chat, we talk over the phone; we are connected with the same passion but…….. (It’s difficult to continue this but)

The bulk of photographs that I have preserved (Thanks to Google and the 5 ID’s that I have created in Picasa only to upload the pics) and the awesome videos captured knowingly or unknowingly are a lot prestigious to me. I believe in clicking loads of photos and saving in a repository where I can visit and view them whenever I want. And when I see them, the beautiful memories, the awesome time spent together either bring moisture to my eye or a smile on my face.

Ups and downs come in everyone’s life and they say only people who are strong can survive those harsh times, but I believe only people who have strong relations, gr8 families, superb friends can withstand any storm and stand upright to face another one.  I may not be 100 present correct but that’s what my past experiences have taught me. And I’m grateful to God; He has always given me such awesome relations in my life.

Let me recollect the day when by mistake all the messages in my mobile got deleted, and how much I had cried after that. Not because those messages were deleted but because those memories got erased which had some beautiful lines written by my friends, some thanks, some praises which I would always like to keep close, some flirting, blushes and so many emotions.

Your small deeds can make a lot of difference in someone’s life. My Mom would always hug me when I come back to Pune on every Monday after spending weekend at my native. Whenever I would shout and say “Mom I’m leaving”, she would come the fastest she can leaving her work behind and would grab me and hug before I could cross the gate. My Dad; I have a habit of calling him daily around 1:00pm, and he would wait for my call “that’s what he says”. If ever I forget or skips to call for some reason, he would wait for some hours and then finally call me before evening. He says he is habituated to my call and feels uneasy if I don’t call and same is with me. This is what I would call as Love. Saying Love you is important but making the person feel it without saying is magical.

My eldest sis, how should I explain her caress, she is nothing less than a mom to me. My sisters younger son Chikki, a 6 year old cutie pie once made me realize who I am for him. He asked me to make a drawing in his notebook which was a part of his homework. I told him I’m getting late, tell your mom to do it. Then he used an awesome trick. He winked at me and told, “Masi means Maa jaisi na, so you will do this for me, right.” :) I was short of words; the only thing I could do was make that drawing for him. To Chikki, it was just a normal line taught by his mom, but for me those words meant a lot. Muaah Chiiki, love you…

If we can love our parents, our siblings, our cousins, our family, why can’t we love our friends. Why people take it otherwise when it comes to friends, be it of same gender or the other. For me my close friends are very very important part of my life. They have given a different meaning to my being in this world and I love them a lot. The love, the care, the smiles, that I have got from all of them can never be forgotten. So before it gets anymore late… I Love you all my dear friends… You all are darlings… You all are awesome.. :) (Yes, You all are gonna be in the part 2 of this post, wait for it... ;))

PS.

I know I’m writing a post after so many months and have missed so many important updates to be scripted on this blog. Right from Ankita’s Marriage fun in July end, the superb Rakhshabandhan celebration, Bhakti’s birthday, Purvi’s surprise b’day celebration n visit to Water Kingdom in Mumbai, two days fun in Manntra Resort with Di jiju and baccha party, Gunnu bappa visarjan with the whole lot of colony in a fleet of 10+cars, the Dhonda function at home and finally the superb Varguda procession at my native. (Now plz don’t ask me what Dhonda and Varguda is, it’s difficult to explain.. :P)

PSS.

This is funny, but seriously I came across the most shameless guys in the world, my teammates(OMG). They are darlings but they are shameless. And after reading this they will laugh shamelessly I’m sure about it. There is one Rule every guy should remember, whatever he does, wherever he stays, He should always have ample amount of Cash in his Wallet. Using cards is ok, but having Cash is Mandatory guys. :D :D But yes, my dear shameless buddies, this journey in CTS would have been boring without you all… wink wink.. ;)

PSSS.

That’s clicked 1.5 year back, but I just got it 2 days ago… Yep, I was 5kg minus at that time, Still that’s another lovely pic, isn’t it???

Loads n loads of love… Carry that music always in your heart and build loads of memories to gather and take with you all through the life…. A big kiss with a big smile…. Muuuuuaahhhhhh…..

Sama’s (Grand) Wedding

:) :) :)

:P :P :P

:D :D :D

Lol lol lol

Rolf rolf rolf

He he he

Ha ha ha

Ho ho ho

Well, these are the only signs, words, terms which I know in English to describe the laughs, the smiles, the fun, the masti we all had.

Before I start lemme show some gratitude and pass a Thanks to Chaitanya for getting married and calling us, opps just not calling but forcing us to attend his marriage 900 kilometers away.

It was an awesome journey, picnic, trip, wedding ceremony, reunion of roomies, friends. That was the first time that I witnessed a South Indian wedding (Telagu) and truly speaking, it was worth travelling so far.

Our Journey was –

Pune – Ahmednagar – Aurangabad – Hyderabad – Vijaywada – Ongole – Vijaywada – Hyderabad – Pune.

So who all were a part of this enjoyment of 5 days –

Appu the gorgeous, Bha Little Miss Perfect, Ankita Miss Naughty, Surashree the sweetest, Nikhil Caring Helping, Abhinandan Ankita’s Fiance cool and sensible, Ritesh Mr. Sense of Humour, Abhijeet Slow Smart Sugary, Rohan the handsome hunk  and ofcourse Chaitanya the groom.

Almost 24 hours we travelled to reach the destination and almost same hours to reach back. However those hours were just not a tiresome train travel; it was a lot more. A mix of gossips, jokes, lame pj’s, pathetic one liner’s, nonstop Dumb Shiraz, playing cards, uno and many many many games. Games like Chip-chilli chip-chilli chip chip chip, Hawahawai, Donkey-Monkey, Purple Pulsar, Kaangoshti (Chinese talk), Nonsence, One Two Ehhhh…

Lemme explain you the Ehhh in the last game - This Ehhh Sound should come from your neck, you’re your tongue on your lips while making the sound same as Akshay Kumar does in HoseFull2. I was an expert in making that Ehh sound as per Nikhil. You know what that means, as per Akki in the movie both the K’s in me have come out :) ;)

Note – If you want to learn these games, you can call me and I will teach you however be ready with Guru Dakshina, some bournville’s, lindt’s would help depends on the course of game that you are learning :D :) And then when you teach others, you will have to give me Royalty… :) “”chalo zindagi bharke chocolates ka kaam ho gaya..”” ;) ;)

What all we did at the wedding –

Enjoyed the yummy south Indian food, with so many different types of rice having different flavors.

See here are the Bhukkad’s of our group.

Left Pic is where they started with such a full plate and Pic to the right is their empty plate after the dinner. Seems like “”Do bhuke chor kisi anjani shadi me ghuske begano ki tarah khana kha rahe hai””. And when they would read this line, these 2 hopeless creatures would take it as a compliment and say wow, the food was so yummy… :( :D

Danced like hell on the beats of Telagu songs, and the orchestra guys showed some courtesy by playing Punjabi songs which helped us grab the floor with more enthu. That was the first time I recognized that I can sport a sari with utmost confidence even while posing heavy Punjabi steps. Enjoyed the dance and the shoot while dancing a lot.

We joined the Didi’s and the mom’s in the rituals. There were two amazing, attention seeking rituals which we enjoyed the most. I would appreciate if all the priests in India add these customs in their books of chants. :)

The first one where the bride and groom would sit facing each other to shower the partner with rice mixed in turmeric, flower petals, colorful pearls, colorful sequence, thermocal  balls, etc. The showers seemed to be so pretty, so heavenly, so different. The religious meaning of showering all these on each other as per Sama’s dad is – 1st shower – for good virtuous life, 2^nd – for good healthy children, 3^rd – for respect and all luxuries, 4^th – to have religious touch in life. Rest all showers are just for fun sake.

The below pics would explain more –

The best ritual was something like bride and groom sharing food without using hands. Lemme explain. One partner would hold one side of the food item in his mouth with some part of it outside the mouth and the other partner needs to eat the part of the item which is outside the mouth. And the food items were from a big puri till the little Raisin. Imagine Raisin :D :D God, that’s difficult to explain but the photos below will explain it all.

Such a bold game, isn’t it??? I wish even we had such awesome rituals. :):) :) Else when are we gonna get such changes in India to give such bold poses in public…

Next, we daily slept late, but why?? Read further, before using your thinking caps. :) We slept late just to have a long chitchat, open a gossip center, play games and do everything that we did in train as I told you in the beginning of the post. The only difference was in train at times people got annoyed and shouted on us, however our stay was in a 4star Hotel Minerva Grand where no one would dare to shout on us though we were shouting laughing the loudest we can till half of the night; hospitality right :D

And finally placed Loads of makeup, wore different traditional dresses and did photo sessions all the time… Thanks to Nikhil and Abhinandan for being so patient and clicking our pics. But don’t you think photographs are important… “”vo kehte hai na – Baaten bhul jati par yaaden yaad rehti hai aur ye yaaden aur bhi acche se yaad rahegi jab humare pass dher sare photos honge hamari yaadon ko baton mai badalne ke liye….”” :)

Sorry to use such a big Hindi line, but it was difficult to convey so much essence of the above lines in English… :)

Above pic is one of the last clicks on the platform waiting for our train to depart us... ohh, that luggage, it's is just half ... :) Our return journey was a mix of emotions in the eyes. No one poured the tears, but the moist eyes said it all.

Thanks to Surashree’s Aunt for such a yummy dinner which she packed for 2 of our groups, since for the half distance back to our home we were gonna separate and travel in 2 different trains, 4 in each train… Though Surashree was in another train, her aunt packed the dinner for us too. Marwadi’s, they always want to feed the world… :) Not biased, but that’s true… :)

And before I end up…. Thank you guys to be a part of my life. It’s correctly said life is heaven when your friends become your family and that’s what you all are for me. Touch Wood, but God has bestowed me with such awesome friends, family, cousins, who all make my life more worth living. Time spend with you all is so memorable that it would keep a smile on my face for days to go and would make me feel bad with the thought of those days to come back. Greedy mind, you know. I wish to see such gr8 days with you all gr8 people always in life.

There’s a lot more that I can add to this, a lot more that I wanna speak, however people always compliant why I write such big big posts, so tried to cut-short the topics :):) The photos in the post are making it look more big... Still I guess it’s another big post however if I write once in a month or two, the post has to be biggggg, right ?????

PS.

First time witnessed a cricket match live on Stadium with all baccha party. Kids from UKG till Std 12^th, and that was fun. Though the match was boring and Pune lost badly, but we enjoyed the fights, the fun, the complaints and a lot more with kids…

PSS.

Another Stunning pic, isn't it???… Photo Courtesy Nikhil :)

Love you all… Njoy... Have loads n loads of outings and parties all through the year… Muaaaahhhhh….

If World is gonna End in 2012............

As you people know I have recently switched my job. In the new company, new rules, new regulations, new processes, but some things never change...... Yes, the Communication assessments for the people who work in Prod Support... he he… (This he he would only be understood by people who have suffered it :( )

Some days back we had such an assessment in our project for almost everyone. :) :) And that was fun... I got another chance to get excited, thrilled, motivated and talk about something with those fullon expressions on my face. I enjoyed sharing about myself, my dreams, my desires, my longings, blah blah blah to the new people in my life…. And this happened because the topic on which I had to speak for 5 mins was -----

“What all would you like to do if you come to know that the world is going to end in 2012”

And that gives me an idea for my new post................... So here I’m gonna tell you, what all I would like to do if I just have next 10 months in my hands to live a Lifetime.....................

First, I will go for shopping. Buy everything that I want to, use all the credit limits, finish off all my debits, loose up my dad’s pockets as much as I can. Buy 100’s of Shoes of every possible colour in this world and would try not to repeat any dress, any shoe, any watch as much as I can... I would make sure that Every Girl is jealous of my wardrobe... wooowww.... :)

Let what may happen, whatever it takes I would meet My SRK. I cannot die with the dream of meeting SRK once in my life. I will have to meet him, hug him tight, kiss him and tell him how much I admire him, what he is for me and what a gr8 awesome personality he is..... ohh, Love You SRK… Seriously all the Award Functions are totally incomplete without Your intervention… :)

My Beetle, my Yellow Beetle, ohhh!!! My Beetle (The best design of Volkswagen)… I would no more wait to get married and get a Beetle gifted from my hubby... Plan cancelled Mr. Hubby due to scarcity of time, I know you would be so happy (chikat… huh…) Ohh, common my favourite car needs to be in my parking soon, right Daddy :P ;). Donno how that would happen, but I would surely drive my yellow Beetle in my last days on this planet...

I would learn all the possible “romantic” dances. I always dream of getting Cambridge University certified in Salsa, Rombo, Chachacha, boogie. My Ex-employer helped me fulfill my dream of performing before more than 10K people twice, walking on a ramp nothing less than like a show stopper before hundreds of people. And later for days everyone speaking about you and appreciating your attitude. Oh, that awesome video footage and those sexy pics of our fashion show… Thanks a lot for it. However I would like to live it once again.

I have loads of teddies; still a live pet is always more closer to heart. Mommy won’t ever allow bringing a cute lil puppy in the house.  No option Mom, now I won’t listen to you, will fight, but for sure will have my Doggy home. A sweet small Chihuahua, or a Labrador dog anything will also… :) I can see that frown on your face, but you will have to feed it mom… :D :D You are mom, it’s your Duty, right :) :D

Nail Colours… No way, though my girlfriends don’t like it, I will have to use all shades of Yellow which I always thought of coloring my nails with. I’m sure those colors are gonna look amazing… :P

I have never touched snow, witnessed a snowfall, felt that cold standing on a snow-clad mountain. I have to see that white nature with my eyes… Hey Madam North India, be ready to welcome me before we all could go together to or Darling Almighty… :)

Hurry up Daddy Cool, as promised you have to publish my book of poems sooner; we don’t have much time… Also I will start writing the story that I want everyone to read and get the completed, published atleast till mid of the year, so that the whole world has 6 months to read one of the best books… ;)

I want to do something good, rather gr8 for someone in this world. I want to adopt a Child. Donno if this world lasts long and I would be able to do that. If it does I wish God gives me a super awesome hubby who understands my desire of adopting a sweet cute baby and giving it a life which every kid deserves. And if I have just some months, this dream would just be a dream for always… Yaa, true… but still I can surely do something good… I would pick up an orphanage and visit it every weekend, talk play teach dance enjoy and spread loads of smiles to the cute faces there. And ofcourse how can I forget my sweet little kiddos “Tinu, Chikki, Harsh”. I will spend as much as time I can with you all.

@Tinu, even if you hate I will Kiss You 100’s of times… :) :) :)

@Chikki, promise you all the difficult puzzles in the world and we will solve them together… :)

@Harsh, promise you all different Cars of all sizes… :)

Love you all my babies….. :)

(okk.. I know what the question is… Yes, these three sisters Son)

Finallyyyy…… Lemme come out of my Fantasy circle…. Dreams always make you smile… Desires always make you work harder… Dream as much as you can without the fear of them failing… Atleast Dream gives a chance to live your desires with those Closed eyes… I wish you all live your dreams, desires with your open eyes too……………

PS.

Three days at home were awesome –

1.       After months the whole family was together mom-dad, we 4 sisters, bhai, both jiyaji’s and the baccha party…

2.       We laughed like hell at the dinner table having our dinner for plus one hour, with all the silly jokes, stories n pranks of bhai n tinu

3.       Finally my Dentist fixed it and now my Smile is improved making me look more gorgeous :) Thank you dear Dentist, you are gorgeous (yes, she is) :P

PSS.

It was gr8 meeting most of my G-next (My College group) with their husbands/wives after such a long time. Thanks Nisha for the initiative. The talks, laughs, gossips, 10+ hours of togetherness will keep me happy for days ahead… A random click at Nisha’s place of one of the most sweetest cutest girl :) ---

PSSS.

Love you all… Muaaaah… Have a healthy and safe life……… Don’t worry the World is not gonna end in 2012…. Live long, live happy, enjoy, smile, frown, always look beautiful and young……………….

Shopping Shopping and Shopping for All Shopaholics…

How much I Love this word “Shopping” and just as people say “How good I’m at doing IT”… :) I don’t have to see which season is going on, are there any sales in market or any event in life to buy. I just need the urge to have something new, the need to wear fresh colours, or just the reason to make yourself happy… Yes, the Reason to make Myself Happy…

Lemme suggest you guys something –

When you are a lot happy and wanna be more n more happy, go and shop.

When you achieve something great in life and you wanna celebrate, go and shop.

When you are sad, very sad, distressed and you wanna cheer up, go and shop,

When your girlfriend drops you and go, don’t drink, go and shop,

When you see your boyfriend with some other girl, don’t shout, pull his pocket out, go and shop.

When anything good or bad happens to you; and you wanna have fun or you wanna forget, people, just Go and Shop, You will feel good, relieved, would have a Smile on your face. And remember when you smile a lot, your cheeks would grow red and you would look more beautiful and then would get more attention. Wow, isn’t that awesome. So what you have to do is – Just Shopppp……  :) :P :D

Last week a cousin told me “Are you on a Shopping Mission”. Well, I think so “Yesss I was”… :) and the mission was accomplished achieved completed successfully finally on Monday :)

In mid-December just before the End of Season Sales could jump in, on one sunny Sunday me and ma sis Bha went out to shop some trousers for my new office…… And what did we shop??????????

Ofcourse 2 trousers from the well-known professional attire brands Allen Soley and Vanhuesen, 3-4 kurte – bottoms (high time I don’t remember the exact number), a beautiful “Anjana Anjani type” jacket (which was admired by almost everyone who saw that), some 3-4 Shirt – Tees, 2 scarfs from Scarfs and Glitters (A bit expensive but Amazing shop for scarfs), 2 pullovers, 2 chappals and………… And Something which is not Appu types, but still it was looking terrific on the mannequin and the mannequin was pulling me inside the shop and I had to enter the designer outlet “Jashn” just to buy two beautiful amazing Saris just in 30 minutes…

People say when Girls (Ladies) go to shop; they waste hours and at times come home buying nothing. However that’s just not me.  I always get my correct perfect choice to buy. Now even 30 minutes I took to buy those 2 Saris, and that too just in 30 minutes… I Called my Di, explained her both the Saris, the colour, the material, the sequence in the border, got confirmation, draped the Sari’s, walked in the yellow light before the mirror, admired it beauty on me, paid the bills and stepped off the shop with another 2 bags and a Smile…… As always Speedy and Smart Shopping……….

That's my New Anjana Anjani Jacket... This pic was clicked at 1am, in the midnight having Coffee with some of my girlfriends... :)

And this whole shopping was just for “Me n ma sis”. That day we went to the Phoenix mall in the afternoon and reached back home at around 11 in night totally tired but still fully exited to display the shopping to our roomies. And ofcourse before you ask, lemme tell you that the shops in the mall were open till 10 to entertain us. Just another suggestion, the yummy “Mad over Donats” is now in Pune at Phoenix Mall at the ground floor. So enjoy the creamy saucy chocolate taste while Shopping……… :)

Just a week later, the End of Season Sales flushed the market. Now how can you imagine that Appu can ignore those gorgeous mannequins and just ride off the shops painted in big letters with “SALE SALE SALE”. Unfortunately I had to take out time from my Busy Schedules and go for shopping again and again and again in this season. :D :D :D

Well, but this time I did not shop just for myself, but for a lot many people in my family. And you know the reason why; because unfortunately I rarely get my size apparels in the Sales… So from which section did I start my shopping for the winters – My favourite Section – CHAPPALS (Shoes)….

I know what you must have thought, ofcourse that’s my favourite section too, and obviously I did some chunk of shopping from there too… :D :D

What all I shopped –

Almost 20+ Chappals, around 10 for me and rest for others.

Around 10+ Shirts, none for me.

Around 12+ Kurti’s, just one for me.

One smart black jacket from UCB, for this smart girl.

Three D shaped travel bags from UCB and also 3 box shaped (forgot the brand).

7+ Tees from kidswear for all my baccha party.

A beautiful Swatch pink-purple in colour.

3 more watches for Bhai, Sonu and Harsh.

2 Pink Color sensational Lip Gloss of Maybelline, just one for me.

32 Puzzles of Frank from World of toys as a return gift from Harsh on his B’day

And a lot more… so much that I don’t remember that how much I spent from my debit accounts but I surely know that I have to pay around 30K credit bills with just 5K left in my debit… :(

And for whom did I shop so much………….

Dad, Bhai, Badi Di, Sheetal Di, Bhakti, Masi, Masaji, Nayan, Neena, Pooja, Patu, Ajay Jij, Tinu, Chikki, Harsh, Vinita, Mona bhabhi, Monu, etc etc etc………………………..

I guess I have covered almost all the names. :) :)

And the best part of this shopping was ------

Most of them called me after they received apparels, shoes, whatever and with a big Smile Thanked me, Appreciated my Hard Work, Praised my choice……….

Woowww….. I felt so good after hearing so many awesome words and get more exited to shop more and more and grab all the good words and good wishes in the world… Apparently will feel more good when everyone would help me pay my Bills too.. :D :D :D

I always use Purvi’s card when I shop at Pantaloons. And finally after toiling so much I have made her the 7 star member getting 10% extra discount anytime anyday… So guys if you want to njoy that 10% call me up for the card number, get the discounts and add the stars to the card… I wish one day we become the 100 star member getting 100% discount on the card. I will surely buy the whole shop... :D :D :D :D :D

"I really like this pic in the right, so shared here... that's me and Purvi :)"

Hopefully you all must have enjoyed the Festive Shopping Winter Season as I did……………

If not, the market is still flooded with biggie Malls, Exclusive Shops, Designer outlets… Go out, njoyy, pamper yourself, get gifted, have fun….

If Shopping can give me so many smiles that people can see the glow on my face, it can increase the blush on your face too…. So don’t waste time, if you don’t wanna spend just free you Dad’s, husband’s, boyfriend’s pocket…. :D

Happy Shopping for all the Shopaholics… Have many many Happy Happy Days of Shopping…..

PS. Sorry to use the word Shopping 100 times in the post… But I don’t know is there any other human understandable word for the word “Shopping” :)

PSS. Happy Valentine’s Day in Advance… Enjoy the Redness in the atmosphere with all your loved ones. :)

PSSS. I wish one day, just as it was in the movie Shopaholic, there would be auction for Appu's Shoes, Appu's attire... wow... If the imagination can make me frown so much what would happen if this dream comes true... :) :)

Just another super awesome gorgeous pic... right :) :)

Finally lets go to our Dreamy World... Gud Nite Guys... Sleep Sweet... Dream to have all the colours in your wardrobe... Love You All.... Muaahhhh..... :) :)
