Wait .. Age still remains just a number!




There was a time when a 10 rs note made me happy and a piece of dairy milk chocolate mattered a lot. Used to wait endlessly for the consumer exhibition and be thrilled to play all games. Shopping for groceries with dad ensured some commission to me and a visit to grandparents meant its time to take a gift. Going to a theatre for a movie worth 40 rs was mind blowing. The maggi after a day at school was tempting and missing dinner after the maggi session was dream come true.

There is a time now when I'm not aware how much money lies in my wallet and mostly there is some cash lying at different places in the house, I have generally stopped liking chocolates and going to a consumer exhibition is a far cry. Grocery shopping is just a compulsion, attending any function is just an obligation. A movie at a theatre is not less than 1k for 2 people, Maggi is when am completely tired and cant cook anything.


Life keeps changing. Experiences teaches lots. People matter the most and Money never excites me more. Waiting to see what all is in store!!
But I have my own fun and carry my own responsibilities and I'm just happy to grow with age..

Wait .. Age still remains just a number!

Shades of Life!!


We always think that our life is in complete control of ourself, but only as time flies we realize nothing is in our control. All we can do is just let ourslef free to feel the experiences of life be it good or bad. All we can do is to be happy today and forever whatever the situations are.

I have seen different shades in my life. I used to madly love this guy and I knew very well that he too loved me. He could bring a smile on my face at any bad situations. Even while going through hell life was heavenly because of him. ALways felt sad to leave him and go home. But I was happy .. happy to a great extent. Now I'm married to the same guy, am super happy and the thought that I dont have to leave him behind every evening and go .. I feel blissful.. And this is after 3 yrs of marriage.

There has been a time when I always thought I just wanted to stay with my husband and no one else. But when I married I had my BIL with me. I was super happy and the experiences with him very just amazing. He became my best friend and I could just be myself with him and the same with him. My conception of being just with husband vanished then. Now he is away .. far away from me.. but am happy for him and happy without him too. I miss him lots and feel I wish he stayed with us and the changes in life dint happen.But thats life.. We move on.

Now I have one more BIL of mine who keeps visiting us and who makes me feel very happy. He is my Buddy.. My lil boy who cares for me and I care for him.. One day he too will move on but We will still be happy to have spent soemtime so closely and will cherish it all our lives.
I have extended family members who I have never met or met them just once, but I love talking to them and I feel good about them and we know quite lots about each other. Thanks for the social networking abilities.

I always had on my mind, I can never be happy being away from my mum. Now I speak to her daily and she calls me home and I say Ma I have lot of housechores to finish and I cant come this week, but you know what.. am happy, happy that my mum loves me and cares for me much more than anyone. I do miss her but I'm happy in my own little world of responsibilities.

There have been many friends whom I would meet daily and they are friends for life. But now they are far away, though we talk daily we meet only rarely. AT first I thought I cant live without them, now am still happy coz I know I love them and they love me.

There have been office colleagues, they are my friends and I have cried when they went away changing jobs or for some personal reason. I have had some best times with them and they are still in touch. I love them.. I still have few friends at work I know that one day they will move away but all I know is They are there somewhere and I will continue to stay in touch with the ones who I like..

There has been times when I just wanted to get rid of few people from life and always felt bad that they are around, but when they moved away I have felt thrilled and happy and sometime later I have become neutral to the situation which simply means they dint make me happy or sad. Their existense doesnt matter to me at all. Be it the so called friends, colleagues or relatives.

The bottom line in all these events of my life which keep changing constantly is, though the situations looked very scary and tough, I easily tend to move on and I'm always happy.. Except the few special ones other people and things hardly make any impact in my life. Its not an easy task to be happy always but for me it is. I thank my parents for giving me this awesome make. I'm born to be happy and I will be happy always!

A dull day!



A day when am in a pensive mood, not in a condition to interact lots. Wanna just lock up myself in a room and think and think about my wants and desires or Just go to sleep endlessly. All rubbish thoughts pass by when am down.
No one can bring me back to my normal self except time. I just let it be and i'm back to normal. Its tough for a happy gal to be in a low mood for long and hence I swing back to my normal self and be Happy.
Today is one such day where am a lil low and wanna just be alone and waiting to get back to my normal happy self quickly.

Idle!


An idle Man's Mind is a devil's workshop.. How well said.. I have an extension to this considering the current gen Women being given equal opportunities and acceptance in society.

"An idle Man's Mind is a devil's workshop, and an Idle woman is a devil in herself"! I dont care if you believe in it or not but this is what I feel from my interactions with different kind of people.

Women are generally lost in useless discussions when they are jobless, Watch unwanted soap operas, talk rubbish and crib lots and complain about their male counterparts that they do not afford to spend enough time for them. The point being they have all the time in the world for fun. Being jobless outside house doesn't mean you should be idle at home. Learn to inculcate few good habits, create hobbies and
study more. It becomes very tough for people around to have any quality discussion with such women.
Men can sit idle thinking about nothing, but a woman's mind never stops working. They keep thinking and thinking useless things and hence the more they get involved in things and be engaged the better it is for them.

I see housewives who are my friends and I know how very well they utilize their times. At the same time I have known few other women, who dont work outside, who cant find lots of work at home and become boring and talk useless stuff.

My humble suggestions to the guys being, learn to keep your wive/mother/girl friend/sister engaged in quality things. May be they will hate you for a while for being forced into things, but soon they too will realize their worth!

Bang Bang Bangalore!!!


I live in Bangalore and it simply means I get to meet lot of new people in the city  who flock from different parts of the country.
Its a nice cosmo culture unlike how it was 10 yrs back. Bangalore has been known for good education, weather, medical field, greenery,Research, art and science, Music and many more fields for ages now. The only recent tagging for this city is the IT boom. Its called the silicon valley, Pub Capital of the country , Garden city and once a Pensioner's paradise.

Its good to see a place grow and become world reckoned for all good reasons. This is one such lovely place where anyone would love to happily and easily settle down.
The people are quite accomodative and that speaks in itself about the place. If anyone from any part of the country can come and feel at home and settle down without much hassles then it speaks a lot in itself about the place.

I have lived in Bangalore since my birth and I have been witnessing the changes since then. Though the recent changes seems to be too much to handle for the city. Heavy traffic due to unforseen growth has taken a toll on the city. The floating population has increased tremendously. But it all of our duty to make a better place to live in. Being such an amazing home to lakhs of people, All you hear people around coomenting is.. Bangalore has bad roads.. Bangalore has bad traffic.. Bangalore has bad service.. Bangalore has bad autowalas.. Bangalore this.. Bangalore that..

The so called educated lot complain about a place so much that it becomes intolerable at times.
When you have any problem either try to solve it, change the system, adjust to the system or at the max SHUT UP! People who keep complaining and cribbing do nothing at all.. literally nothing. They come from whichever nook and corner of the country, from small towns to villages or from a better place than Bangalore. But isn't it our duty to give life to the place we live in? Do we show any gratitude for what the place offers to us?

I have seen all the metros and nice cities of India and always been quite sure that Bangalore is definitely a lovely place incomparable to other cities.
People complain about every damn thing right from autowalas to sabzi walas to the quality of corainder leaves to driving sense of people. Trust me the Bangalore autowalas and maids are much sophisticated and well behaved than most so called educated lot. Complaints against Autorickshaw is 1023 compared to the 2345 similar complaints in Mumbai. They talk many languages than the cribbing lot do and behave much classier at times. They help people who need any guidance on road. Its We who involve the low earning people into habits of extracting more money and later complain about the same. And the low earning jobs in the city now is done by people mostly from other states. The place gives a chance for everyone to survive by doing a cook's job or a maid, A pani puri stall, a construction worker or a Panwala.
Can we appreciate it?

The bottomline being, We are here only because we want a good place to stay, a good job or a good education. Does it matter to people at all if the place is doing good or bad or worse. Do we bother to put any effort to make it better?? Time to think Educated guys!

And if you expect Bangalore to be an amazing Metro or you want it to be Newyork, Each of us have to work for it and towards its betterment and bloody not sit and complain. Any place for that matter can be better only because of its people. Mumbai being such an amazing place gives its entire credit to the people .
Bangalore is a beautiful place still and it lets people be what they are and who they are. This is the greatest credit to the place because I dont see any other so called metro being so accomodative to diverse people (except Mumbai). They try to mend you into their local culture and behaviour. Bangalore is a place where people live for 10+ yrs and dont need to bother learning local language or be a part of any local culture. I have not been biased because I belong to this place. Anywhere we live we can belong to that place if only we show some love and concern to the place and put efforts to make it all ours

Finally, facts being facts, Bangalore is much better in ways of being a big city, beautiful city, green city, Lovely
weather, accomodative people and trust me less on cheating compared to so many other cities of the country!

Only the ones who crib and complain less, can appreciate anything around them! Time to grow up and add some value to the society we live in!
