Amusing Musings

Getting ready for Jashn @ Capgemini, Mumbai. heard a lot from VJ, seen a lot of videos on youtube. was told that it is like the father of all corporate parties. fun! some shopping tonight, some spa tomorrow and voila much anticipated party this saturday night looking forward to it.. will post a post post the party :D

what a sweet surprise to myself. I just had to check out my blog today, read through some of my previous posts when I realised how old Bhuvi is. Happy Birthday to my girl Vrinda Bhuvika

a lorry driver who just didn't want  to waste a moment of his life to think abt others' safety hit and run almost. .. the driver's side. the driver side doors are badly dented and the impact had taken vijay by shock i could see from his tension in the face and speechlessness. it was totally unexpected... i don't know what gotten into me... i opened the door ran to the lorry held onto sth and started banging the door. some samaritans on the road came and parked in front of the lorry so he'd stop. the lorry driver wouldn't get down inspite of repeated demands . it was near a junction and people insisted we park a little further down the road. i immediately noted the number.. asked him to follow us. meawhile vj got down the car confused, angry, worried... asking the driver to get down and that's it. the driver said he would stop down the road ... instead just took off! we immediately got into to the car and chased the lorry past Thane into another border...

It took a fitness center to open in the ground floor of my apartment building for me to accomodate the work-out routine in my life. finally, I hit the gym after years. yaahoo! I am glad I took the first step, the most difficult one. now to be regular and become fit. waiting!

"To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all."

It's my birthday and Mother's day on the 9th of May. The day my mom became a mother, how apt! My bhuvi's birthday (se turned 7 months old on the 9th of May this yr) the day I became a mother 7 mo. ago. How apt. Celebrating the most special Mother's day and a very special birthday! Can't get better than this, Can't get any younger than this ;) or feel more beautiful ... am loving it!:)

Today was the first time I got access to network with an Office imaged laptop. I opened up the office comunicator and looked up Chelli. I was excited. I pinged her and we exchanged general news for a while and then Chelli said, "Isn't it amazing akka, we are able to chat at work through an internal IM. We work for the same organization!" We never ever thought we would, after starting our careers on opposite sides of the world about 6 years ago. I work for the desi version of the company and while my little sister works for the MNC version. Some small round world this is! :-)

"I am not gonna let that happen to me again, ever!"a woman said loud enough to get the attention of the rest of the passengers. She must be in her mid-twenties, curvy, petite, pretty, beautiful eyes and lovely long, wavy tresses. Overall a very attractive female. She snapped back to reality that she wasn't alone and was in a crowded local train. So crowded that i felt breathless; people standing all around me squeezed me to the maximum my body can contract. i had people's hair on my faces, in my eyes, mouth eeeww! and what a stink! Mumbai Summer and pollution. i held my head up and facing towards the roof of the train to catch some fresh air. We travelled in the same train some times and we got acquainted. "He never calls me", she said. I excused myself and asked if she was talking to me. "Yes. He always says he is going to call me back in a bit or in the evening, or whatever, but he never calls" “We were each other’s betterhalves. We were almost p...

I travel a distance of 80 Km home to work and back each day. The work location changes depending on the client meetings. One day, on my way back home, I took a local train from dadar to thane, the most crowded one at the peakest time. The train was holding the maximum nmber of people that can fit into the compartment while standing. i could hardly breath. i was looking at the roof to catch some fresh air and avoid suffocation. Everyone was holding onto anything that they could find so they won't fall and create a ripple effect. Just then the train came to halt at a station; some got down and some more got in. A short lady standing behind me squeezed in between five others had nothing to hold onto. i tried not to hurt anyone and was protecting myself from others as much as i could. there were people carrying books, hand bags of different shapes and sizes, plastic covers, files, newspapers, what not in their hands trying to balance their stand in the moving train. just as another sta...

Zoobi doobi zoobi doobi pampaara, zoobi doobi param paa… goes the foot tapping, delightful, hit number from 3 idiots album. My baby Bhuvi loves the song. Is it the music, lyrics, choreography (coz she continues to look at the video with volume muted) or just Aamir/ kareena? Or the charm of all the above combined, I don’t know. Bhuvi will be 6 months and 6 days old tomorrow and is beginning to crawl. It is time to strengthen my forces, get ready to face any surprises, expect the unexpected. Hehehe... This morning she was on the couch playing with her teether. We (her dad, grandfather, great grandmother and i) were all there… she was tossing around on the couch one moment and the next she was on the floor. I think that I have fast reflexes when it comes to handling Bhuvi but she just proved to be too fast for me today and is growing! Little thing, more than pain it is the shock of impact that frightened her and she burst into cries. Never seen Bhuvi cry like that before. MY heart just st...

Ever felt like you seen this before, you have been here before, you have experienced this before when you actually did not? i have been feeling a lot like this lately. One of my colleagues from my current job (of 2 weeks old) called me up and i felt like i exactly knew what she was going to say, what i was going to say, even before we actually did.. hmmm this is just one incident.. i have had many such Deja vu experiences since childhood. Though i wasn't old enough, wise enough to understand what it was, I slowly began to think that may be i was gifted with a power to see the future and that I just did not make an effort to note it down when i dreamt of so i can check it when it actually occured. haha! Co-incidentally, i happened to tell my husband about this day dream that i got a couple of months ago abt a call from a colleague during late hours and that i was her manager. today when it actually happened, my husband was amused too. :) Some Paramnesia! :D

i am back to work of course in worst of typical desi work atmospheres. 1 week of travelling of about 75km two way from home to work and back leaves me with no time and energy to even think of anything else... let alone looking after buvi's basic needs... i am at work because i need the job! my inlaws taking care of the baby while i am away. i'd call myself a loser if i am going to stick with this job. i have to look for a better opportunity, a reasonable one which will allow me to thrive not just survive. omg! the politics, egos, hypocrisy and some lethargy this is how i'd describe my work place & people during my first week at work in India. uh, hope it improves. hope i will feel better. or may be i will get used to it sooner or later. what's good abt it? i am rediscovering my professional life. today seems to be one of those lowest lows of emotional roller coaster ride. don't ask why.. can't tell... just not happy with my life after coming bk to India. got...
