Awesome!!!

 

The drifting thoughts....

Well this has been happening for quite many days now.., MY THOUGHTS ARE DRIFTING!!!! I cant seem to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes...., Whatever is happening??? There is this feeling in my tummy which is un-explainable... Yeah.., As if there are some electric vibrations running through my body..., I feel happy and sad at the same time..., Uneasy and restless too..., Someone told me I have a bad digestion problem!!! (:D)....,But whatever it is.., I like it!!! I seem to be in some dream world of late.., and I aint complaining...,Sad part is that I've lost my appetite completely..., I'm not eating at all..., and I've received a lot flak for my  aloofness also..., But ..., I dont mind...., coz I know.., something really interesting is about to happen.., I'm just waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Contamination!!!

No.., this time I'm talking about the water contamination..., and I AM TERRIFIED!!!!!! Yeah.., Cholera????? E.coli?????????? In the drinking water??????? How can people even survive in today's World is the question I'm asking myself..., Honestly speaking.., I didn't drink a drop of water since morning.., yeah.., even though my water is purified in an aquaguard, I'm scared evenat the thought of drinking it..... Since the time I read in the papers that E.coli was found in some water specimens..,  I was wondering..., WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?????????? I mean if people dont even get water to drink how will anyone or anything survive.., Beats the hell outta me!!!! And considering that so many lives were lost in the Musheerabad- Cholera issue..., Donno whats with the water board.... Donno why such incidents even happen... Its a pity that we act only after the damage is already done..., 

SAVE YOURSELVES!!!! DRINK ONLY BOILED/PURIFIED WATER...., 

Childhood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I MISS MY CHILDHOOD DAYS!!!!!! NEVER EVER WILL THEY COME BACK AGAIN..., BUT I HAVE LOADS OF MEMORIES ASSOCIATED AND THEY WILL BE CHERISHED THROUGHOUT MY LIFE....

BUT I JUST HOPE EACH CHILD DOES ENJOY HIS/HER CHILDHOOD... STOP CHILD LABOR... IT JUST ISNT HUMAN

Salvaging Pride!!!

Well.., I'm talking about yesterday's match between Kolkata and Chennai..., I was sooo damn impressed by the Knight riders who actually emerged in shining armour..., With nothing to lose and a lot of optimism and positive vibrations.., I could say this was the perfect fight back.. Loved Mc Cullam and Hodge..,  and I cant believe myself when I say that I was happy with the Chennai defeat.., Yeah though my heart goes out for Mahi.., it was very clear that the Knight riders were a better team compared to the Super Kings. To chase 180 odd runs in the given situation and the weather conditions..., was almost a task un-achievable..., Kudos for the spirit... Thats how pride is salvaged!!! Hope our Chargers learn something out of this..., But wow I'm looking forward to the semi finalists.., With just Delhi on its way through.., im getting quite excited with the other 3 results to follow..., i cant even predict with these T-20 matches..., Anything can happen.... ;) Me tho keeping my fingers crossed.., I want to see Team Hyderabad through.... Prayers!!!

P.S. Give Dada a break..., 

GEMINI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Flair :)

I chose these 36 from over 5000 different pieces of flair.... I love these.., They are sooo colorful and depict me sooo much.......

Staying In Touch!!

It's strange, it's so hard to keep in touch inspite of technology. With email, messenger, gtalk and falling ISD charges it shouldn't be so difficult. Do we know too many people? Are we really that busy? Life has other priorities? Too tired?

Well...

Realizing not keeping in touch is normal for most, I decided to try and keep in touch with my friends on their terms... Hmm, better said, what I understand as their terms.

So some I email once or twice a year. Others frequent social networking sites. Still others prefer gtalk or a simple phonecall. Many ways, many options.

One thing is clear though, reciprocated or not I will keep in touch because I'm not willing to lose them.

:)

My Hobbies... :)

Tennis...., I Love the sport... It keeps me real fresh and energetic.., My health doesn't permit nowadays..., but any given chance and Im on it.. :)

Travelling..., Now this is something which I wouldn't mind taking up for a living also.... :) I love to travel.., to see different places.., the culture, the heritage., the food.., the language..., Yeah its all soo intriguing to me....I've never been abroad till now.., but one day.., Im sure to travel the World..... :) :) :) :)

                

I'd loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee to sleep....., hours and hours..., I hate it when Im woken.., esp on a holiday..... 

Im a very very bad singer..., But I'd loveeeeeee to sing.., from jingles, to carols, to movie songs..., anything....

Mountaineering., rock climbling, rappelling, the adventure sports...,hiking..., I'd give in my eye and tooth for these..., yeah!!! Im a very adventurous person...

I like to read.., when I dont have anything to do.., I'd read.., I read anything.., newspapers, magazines, comics, novels, biographies.., anything... anything at all...

Photography......, its my passion..., i always carry my camera..., everywhere..., I take loads and loads of snaps...

Painting.., yeaah Im not very good at it..., but I did paint some interesting things.., Im a lot creative so painting came as a natural hobby to me....Also because.., I love colors.......

Music..................., I have about 20,000 songs in my system..., That says it all....nai?

Movies..., Hmmmmm.., well you can't exactly say its a hobby..., but considering that my husband is a huge movie buff.., I can take this as a hobby coz in our free time.., we generally end up at the movies....

Boating... Yeah thats sooo romantic..., 

I loveeeeee to dance..., I dance Kutchipudi.., I've learnt Hip-hop, Jazz and Western. I'm learning Salsa.., and Im awesome with the dandiya.., I end up choreographing many of the events..., I simply Love this form of art!!!!!

I like to capture all he special moments in my life.., They are sooooo very precious...,  

Basketball......, its the best exercise which I can ever do..., Yeah..., I love the sport!!!!

Things I don't like about myself!!!!!!

1. I crib for everything and anything.., Yeah, food, clothes, people, places.., You name it.., I crib about it!!!!

2. I am not very good at my verbal language. But I never ever can accept it. I tend to falter for words.., pause among sentences and stuff..., Donno why.., Im Ok when I do the presentations,and in seminars and meetings..., but when it comes to general conversations..., I get stuck!!!!

3. I'm agnostic. Not just about God. About other things as well that require faith and trust in an abstract quality of the human enterprise. True love. Loyal friendships. Unforgettable moments. They may be. They may be not.

4. I'm an impulsive shopper. Everything from clothes, toys, candles, books, accesories...blaah blaah blaah. I never wait for deals. If I want something, I spend first and think later.

5. I buy more books than I read. I have two cabinets in my living room. One for the books I have read. The other has books that I haven't yet opened. It even has a few books with bookmarks because I left them unread halfway. I'm running out of room in this cabinet.

6. I always tend to argue with Raj even for small, miniscule things..., I hate to do this.., but you can say that Im still sooo childish...

7. I love driving around in the rain. My favorite weather is when it's cloudy, dark and gloomy. Chilly, drizzling, slightly windy but not cold. It makes the day slightly better than ordinary.

8. I've become obsessive about the internet..., Phew.., of all the things..., Im on the net almost for abt 18 of the 24 hours..., I do need to get outta this habit...

9. I daydream about action scenes from sci-fi movies and tv shows/ about cricket......... Yes, I have super powers in them. I'm waiting to outgrow this habit, but I've had it for a while now.

10. I avoid calling my parents because I feel I argue with them more than I talk to them.

11. Iam the Jack of All traits..., Yeah I do want to Master them all!!!

12. I am very patronizing and sarcastic in arguments or friendly debates. I feel I have learned more from my life than others have from theirs. If I'm not saying anything, then I'm probably mocking the other person(s) in my head.

13. I constantly make multiple to-do lists and put them in multiple places or computers. I probably can make a list of where all my lists are and what their status is.

14. I'd rather take on too many of things than too few. Feeling purposeful and thereby important feeds my self-esteem.

15. I clean my apartment in long intervals. I wait for it to become really messy and dirty before I clean it all the way instead of on an ongoing basis.

16. I have imaginary conversations with people from the past over unresolved baggage, regrets and lost arguments over otherwise silly things. I would willingly invest in any research of time travel.

17. I keep all the wedding invitations I receive. Lately I have stopped opening them. They go straight into my file.

18. I prefer staying indoors than go out with friends. Except hiking. I'm always up for hiking. Yeah..., :).., Its not that I dont socialise a lot.., But now.., that most of my friends are abroad.., and the ones who are here are actually into matrimony or going the family way.., I dont have much of an option...,

 

19. I have an enormous ego!!!!!!!! Yeah.., people generally tend to give in.., but.., I always get to listen this from my husband..., "You and your EGO!!"

20. I cannot function at work without a Coke in the afternoon. I'm addicted.

21. I can get real selfish at times..., I hate this abt myself.., butttttttttt.., something which belongs to me..., IS MINE!!!

22. I have selective memory. I completely forget conversations and dates randomly, some of which are rather important. If it wasn't written down, there are no guarantees.

23. I get angry very easily... I don't believe in passive-aggression. I will hold a grudge for as long as it takes.

24. I take lots of pictures. I share only a few of them. This annoys a lot of people.

25. I am self-absorbed (obviously). It took me about a couple of hours to write this list. Now I'm pondering if that's too short or too long. I'm writing this list partly because I want to acknowledge my negative tendencies. But mostly I'm curious to see if putting this list out there for the world to see, makes any difference to me. Either I will resolve to work on some of them to become a better individual. Or not.

So near..., yet., soooo far!!!

And we actually thought that we'd go through to the semis without soo much tension..., Sooo much for the thinking... Geesh!! Ok so we face Banaglore in a do-or-dier.., but.., I shudder to think what would have been our fate if Rohit didn't pull off that stunner against the knightriders..., I get goose pimples when I think about almost losing to Kolkata.., Of all the teams!!!! Guys buck up..., This isnt how we are supposed to end a tourni which we started off sooo well..., I was so hoping to see the cup home.., And I still dont understand.., whats with Gilchrist and his decision to field..., ALMOST EVERYTIME!!!! ohhh my heads spinning..., reeeeeeelly!!!! Hmmmm ab kya?? Bas wait for thr 21st.., and hope that they do bash Bangalore properly...., and go through to the semis.., 

:)

BE HAPPY

BEING HAPPY DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERYTHING IS PERFECT...

IT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE DECIDED TO LOOK BEYOND THE IMPERFECTIONS!!

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Wow I read this quote today and must say.., Im soooo impressed with it..., a note is required for this quote..., so me sitting and scriblling... But yeah guys..., Stay HAPPY!!!!!

This was looooong due...,

Rachu on the day of her wedding :)

The wedding..

Yeps Neha's got married and it was an awesome affair..., had loads and loads of fun...,  So here are they.., the bride and the groom.., Neha and Trishul Reddy

Think about it...

Never let the opinions of others define for you who you are.., or what you can or cannot do.., For though other people may know you well.., they can never know you completely. No one can know you completely...You know who you are and what is in your heart, and what you are willing to do. No mere opinion from someone else has the power to hold you back. Pay attention to what others say if you think it could be of any use. seek to understand and make yourself understood as well as you possibly can. Yet always keep in mind that the person who knows the most about you is YOU..., haaa.., You know what you can do, and you also know why you are doing it, even if no one else understands. The hurtful, limiting comments say more about the people who make those comments than what they say about you... Whatever they say.., who know who you are.. Move on confidently forward with the best that you can be ...,

Prayers for Team Hyderabad!!

Alright alright I know we lost the match against the daredevils.., yeah the one which we almost won..., and actually wrapped it up and gifted them..., Sheeee bahhhh we were so near and yet soooo far..., Now we mad our spot in the Semis sooooo unpredictable.., God yeah.., I mean this time its going to be one heck of a competition for the semis spot.., Except for Delhi.., no other team has a confirmed berth.., Awwww so much for the cracker of a start which we had... :( And here I am praying, keeping my fingers crossed..., wearing the team Track..., just hope it gets through!!!!

Its past mid noon.., and I'm in the office literally getting fried... Phew I hate the summers these days... :(..., I remember loving the summers once upon a time.., The vacations, the mangoes, the cricket, the clay modelling..., I sooo miss them.., I go beserk even at the thought of going outdoors mid afternoon.., Even the thought is alarming..:( Whatever happened to the lovely spring days when Yes.., it was sunny and hot.., but it wasn't this MIND-BLOWINGLY hot!!! I gt scared to step out in the sun.., Imagine all the kids with their vacations..,God knows how they are coping with the heat.... Poor things... I kinda loved my childhood vacations..., I used to look forward to them months in advance.., The mangoes, the vacations, the co=curricular activities, the summer trips, friends, cousins, aam-pannas, mango achars, Wow!!!! I do miss those days...I am really scared.., things weren't this worse about a decade ago.., I shudder to imagine what would the world be in another decade..., GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!! Guys lets do something about this..., Its eating into the World..., Slowly.., But surely!!!!!!!!! :(

If you think you are beaten...

The poem is originally written by Walter D. Wintle.., But I came across this when I was doing a book review of Shiv Khera named "You Can Win" must say.., It is a very inspirational book and i would recommend it to all wannabe management students...,

So here goes..,

If you think you are beaten.., you are....

If you think you dare not.., you don't....

If you like to win, but think you can't,

It's almost a cinch you wont....

If you think you'll lose, you're lost:

For out in the World we find,

Success begins with a fellow's will;

It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,

You've got to think high to rise,

You've got to be sure of yourself before

you can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go

To the strongr and faster man,

But sooner or later the man who wins

Is the man who thinks he can.

Life just got more Colorful :)

Bought a tee which says so..., Loved the caption..., Used it this way!!! :)

I can feel the pain in his eyes when we fight.., i can feel the happiness in his eyes when hez happy with me.., I can go on and on...

so that was Raj for you... :)

Yeah!!

!!!!

Hmm yeah this one is not going to be poetic... I simply am drifting from my thougths much too often.., And anyways I wouldn't want a tear- jearker.. So.., let me just jot down a few sentences.., before I drift off...

I've always wondered why do people fall in love??? And if they do, why don't they have courage to put it in front of the person whom they love??? And if they do, why are they scared to admit it to the world??? And if they do, why do they fail to convince the parents????

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

God!!! I have been thinking about this for donno how many days... And it all started with a friend sharing a few personal experiences... The pain in his eyes and his words left me sooo sad... He would never forget his first love..., NO ONE WOULD EVER FORGET THEIR FIRST LOVE!!! But he never got the girl..., after years of wooing the girl and her parents ( who agreed happily to the match)..., when time came convince his parents.., he fell FLAT!!! Today hez married elsewhere, the girl is married elsewhere. But again as i say..., He would never forget her. When he told me how she had helped him out with his career and trusted him and stood by him when he was a Nothing... I immediately wanted to reach out to her and thank her for shaping my friends career and his future.., for making him the person he is today...

But what went wrong??? and where??? He tells me that his parents threatened to kill themselves if he didnt give up on the girl... coz, hez their only son and they had big dreams about his wedding...( i shuddered to think that this situation was sooo identical to the situation i was when i was about to get married...., But..., We both were sooo adamant about our decision..., that our parents HAD TO GIVE IN..... )Yeah hez the only child.., yeah they have big plans for his wedding... So???? They must be happy that their son chose someone whom he loves.., who loves him..., who understands him.., and they can get them married exactly as they had "planned"...., Why don't the parents understand???

Some jerks of gyaani gurus with all their gyaan about culture and family history and social circles poison the minds and how..., " How can you go against your parents wishes and marry someone from some other CASTE?? Those parents, who gave birth to you, brought you up with all the hardships??? If not this girl, a million others... But, you cant say the same about parents right??? its your call.. " This is what they actually said to him..., sad part.., he relented..., but today he regrets....

I ask..., What is wrong if someone is in love??? is falling in love such a big crime??? Why don't parents understand?? Why cant they let their children live their lives on their own???? Ok so they they did give birth to them.., they did do everything possible for them.., they gave them everything they wanted..., Then why not THIS???? They should infact feel happy that a girl.., born somewhere.., who is not even distintly related to them, who has nothing to do with the family.., has the same feelings for their son (if not more) that they have..., She loves him, understands hi, cares for him and his feelings, is ready to leave her house, family for him.... God they should be happy..., but why does this happen the other way round..., I'm sort of depressed from a couple of days when I think about it.., I feel extreamly sad for my friend...,would he ever be able to forget that girl?? Would he ever be able to get out of the guilt that it was because of him that things didn't materialise??? I pray to God that he releases him from his guilt... but i cant ask God to make him forget her..., I know.., that would never be possible....

I tried to empathise and I shuddered..., Life wouldn't be....., WITHOUT RAJ...,

:)

A hand to hold through old age.

A person to laugh with even though the joke wasn't that funny.

A smile shared during everyday life because you are there with me.

The beauty 're our love show everytime you walk in the room.

A warm feeling in my heart because you show me that you care.

You make me feel so calm.....a calm moment from the storm of life.

What a worderful an lovely feeling to Love an be loved.

You're my reason to get up each morning and dream each night...

These are but some of the feeling i have for you

I am sooooooooooo Happy to have you in my Life

I Love You

I Love You for so many reasons.., Large., and small..,
and Alllll of them are as wonderful as you are... :)

I Love you for all the special qualities that make you one of a kind...,
The ONLY one in the whole wide world for me... :)

I Love you for all the things you say,
That bring such a special meaning into my life...., :)

I Love you for all the silent times...,
When your eyes tell me all that I want to know...., :) (and there have been numerous occasions)

But...., most of all I LOVE YOU SWAMY.........., Because....,
You bring out the best in me!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Love You......, Because now...,
In a place where there was nothing before....,
In the deepest part of my heart................,
THERE IS LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've brought meaning into my life Swamy....
Love Ya...,

If you love something..........

If you find yourself in love with someone
who does not love you, be gentle with yourself.
There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn't choose
to rest in the other person's heart.

If you find someone else in love with you and
you don't love him/her, feel honored that love came and
called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return, do
not take advantage, do not cause pain.

How you deal with love is how you deal with you,
and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even
if our lives and ways are different.

If you fall in love with another, and he/she falls in
love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try
to reclaim it or to assess blame, let it go.

There is a reason and there is a meaning. 

You will know in time .

Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you.
Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit.
Give it to the world around you in anyway you can.

There are sooo many places where many lovers go wrong.

Having been so long without love, they understand
love only as a need. 

They see their hearts as empty places
that will be filled by love, and they begin to look at love as something
that flows to them rather than from them.

The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing,
but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as need.

They cease to be someone who generates love and instead become someone
who seeks love.

They forget that the secret of love is
that it is a gift, and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away.

Remember this, and keep it to your heart. Love has
its own time, its own seasons, and its own reason for
coming and going. 

You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason
it into saying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it
away when it comes to you. 

But if it chooses to leave from your
heart or from the heart of your lover, there is nothing you can do
and there is nothing you should do.

Love has always been and will always be a mystery.

Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.

Love has been THE MOST important aspect of my life. I can say that it has not exactly been a
jolly good ride all along.., I've had my share of ups and downs... but all the while I just let it go..
because I knew.., that true love always gets back... NO MATTER WHAT!!!!

So.., if you love something..., set it free..., If its back.., its UR's..., if
it doesn't ...., it NEVER WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cricket and IPL.., sorry NR-IPL

Cricket tho runs in my blood... I've grown up watching Chinnaanna play all his matches be it for Hyderabad or even the gulli matches.., the leagues and the Ranji's... People remember me shouting Azhar's name at a promotional event at Koti Womens when I was hardly 3... The moment of glory when Kapil gave his autograph.......I remember all the Indo-Pak matches and all the gum which I almost swallowed throughout those matches..., I remember praying for the Indian team before the matches ..., I remember being in love with Ajay Jadeja..., and the day I almost fainted when I saw him for the first time... :)., I remember crying sooo many times when Sachin got out cheaply...I remember the fantastic Quarterfinal World Cup match at Bangalore when Ajay smashed Waquar Younis pride..., The matches at Sharjah where Sachin proved that He is the God of Cricket... Dada's shirt-take-off at the Lords... The T-20 world cup...and sooo many more wonderful matches.., Team India.., is what runs in my blood now..., I've faced sooo much flak from soo many people for being such a religious follower of Cricket.., But i don't care..., I've always loved it.., and will do so NO MATTER WHAT... come a match-fixing scandal, or a World Cup 2007.. my loyalty towards the Indian team will never change...

Phew! Finally in writing...

Sometimes we argue, I don't know why.
Then I sit and wonder, why do I cry?

I cry because I love you,
I cry because I care,
I cry because I feel we have a love so rare,
sometimes I'm afraid I'll turn around
and you won't be there.

I love you every minute,
I love you every day,
I even love you when we argue,
I love you when we play.

Sometimes I've wondered do you love me too,
then I look in your eyes and
I know it's true.
So when I say something a little crazy
or I do something you don't feel is right,
Please, let's try to work it out
so we won't fight.

Some people take relationships for granted
it's sad to hear but true,
I don't want this to happen, not with you.

I want our relationship to be completely
from the heart so we both know,
no matter what we go
through we will never part.

For Raj,

Pranita.
