hmmm.....

Various Random Ponderings -I am sort of muhuhahahing right now.:) All thanks to Batty and Sudz.I have a lightsaber.For something made from the scratch,it is awesome.Apart from that,it did not feel 'leap' yearish today.Sudz,Batty and Mahadev came home,as usual Sudz and me lived upto our Dumb Charades reputation. -Watching SuDa (No Sudz,this isn't you),I was seeing,how she has grown in her marriage.From the girl who cried and scared almost everyone around her,and got scared herself,to the person,who seems to have blended in,who has become a sister and daughter.Coming from a traditional,conservative family,getting married in a more open-traditional family.Its very nice to see her like this.Hmmm,many more thoughts about this but,maybe later. -I haven;t had a long phone conversation with ANYONE in ages,mainly because after I ignored it for so long,by phone is giving me haath.I intend to kaam chalao with it until April,after which I will use some old katara phone (happily...

Bichad gayaa... Bichad gaya har saathi dekar pal do pal ka saath Isko hee jeena kehtey hain tho yoohin jeelenge Uf na karengey,lab seelenge,aasoon peelenge, Gham sey ab ghabraana kaisa, Gham sau baar mila I do not really know how many times I have seen Pyaasa,I do not really know how many more times I will see it.I do not really know how much I like Guru Dutt.I do not know if I ever did not like him.And,I do not really know,how many lyricists can sound as cynical at the same time,poetically beautiful like Sahir Ludhianvi.

There only two people whom I've never met but talk about like as if I know them very well.And among those,I think I do know pretty well.One such person,I have mentioned even here,is MichL. And today I get an email from her.Usually,are emails are one or two liners,either asking or confirming whether letters have left/arrived.This one,was unlike our usual ones.It was around ten lines and it made my day.The prospect is far away,but that I actually made her reach the decision,makes me feel good. The key being,she actually intends to visit.Imagine,knowing someone for over fifteen years and finally getting to meet them.Yes,she needs to save up enough and manage time,but imagine.Whoa!Of course,you never know where life leads you to,until you get there.So,I don't know who'll meet whom first.I just hope we do meet,I hope we get along when we meet. On a different note,blogathon is almost over.Over the month,it has become a habit.I am suspecting that I might revert to my previ...

Aren't black and white pictures,the most colourful? This has been one of life's constants,for me.Aah,these grey clouds ARE silver linings.

Confessions of a lonely chicken. (Title courtesy :Confessions of a dangerous mind & Nobody here but us chickens) I am scheduler. The last two posts and this one,appear before you many hours after I have actually typed them out.All thanks to our mental blogger's new format.Yes,they ARE good things about it too.Now coming back to what I intend to write about. For all you Buffy watchers (teeheehee no pun intended) out there,doesn't the word scheduler somehow seem very 'Buffy-ic' to you?Someone who is on the good side,but you never know when things might change? So,for those who have experienced the many versions of blogger before this,what do you think about this one? On a different note,I hope that i can ACTUALLY post,proper posts from the next post on till the end of Blogathon! Ok,I think i am almost emotional! Blogathon is almost ending! Where did all the time go? Phew!I just posted this post as a post,and then like Faster Fenny,discovered it and re...

So as ever,I'm back to getting nostaligic about something. This time,its a repetion of sorts,but not entirely. Doordarshan and DD Metro. For all of us who know how the antenna and terrestrial television works,we know whom to give credit to.Apun ka DD who else! Without whom we wouldn't have made human chains ' Has it come? No . Now? No? Has it come Na. NOW? No. Now? Nope. Ok wait.Pass me that wire.Ok,now check .Haan came off,chalo get down.Programme is about to start. And finally we sit in front of the Television waiting.Of course,this did not happen EVERY single day.But it did happen. But Oh how we were fascinated! Two shows which I always waited for were Crossword hosted by Kitu Gidwani.Where just like the name suggests,the participants,were made to solve a crossword.They could opt for getting easy or cryptic clues and got scored accordingly.Even though,I did not know most of the words,this entire deal fascinated me.So many clues would lead to one word,solving th...

Marching a March into the March filled with happy days. Very soon,Its going to be the month of March. Its a month filled with birthdays,including some very nice people's birthdays.I like birthdays.Not just the ones with cake cutting,elaborate celebrations or just friends visiting.I like them because they make me 'not forget' people. When you wish people (atleast most) on their birthdays,you make them happy.And somehow this makes me happy.Imagine how you can make a person's day, just with a sentence.Even if I don't mean too much to them,I have this feeling that I made someone feel better.Of course,there is nothing I can do about people who dread birthdays because of more candles on their cakes.They should be happy there is a cake in the first place.Or in my case this year,three cakes. Even I,love receiving wishes,greetings on my birthday.I don't remind people.I don't mind early or delayed wishes.In fact,with some people,I don't mind even if they d...
