Little Prayer

I met last monday when had gone to South Ext to inquire about a certain course. I met Yashi the same day - felt good - met her after a long long time. I couldnt recognize her initially but when I carefully looked at the female who was smiling at me I was shocked to see her. She has lost her weight & in the process has lost her chubbiness too. We had coffee at CCD & spoke a lot.

Today she called in again - she spoke to Ravi after a long time - wanted to share the same with me -  I sincerely feel proud of Ravi today. He got married few months back. His was an arranged marriage.  Only 10 days before the wedding he came to know that her fiancée has been tested positive for cancer. Usually guys would back out but he chose to stick to her :) She is going thru the tests which she is suppose to take and I sincerely wish & pray that their bond of love strengthens more with time and she gets well soon . Shocking news was that he lost his father last month. I am hearing sad news for the last couple of weeks - first it was Sumit's mother then our Maid's husband - and now this.

Sumit used to say "arrey humaari amma humaare liye ladki dekh rahin hain" when asked about his matrimonial searches by the guys at work. Guys specially Rajeev used to pull his leg when topic of marriage used to pop-up. He was happy when he got his new job in his native place - Lucknow.Unfortunately the day when he reached there he got the terrible news of his mother.

Maid's husband passed away just before Diwali - I wish and pray that God gives strength to each one of them and their family members during this time. Its not easy - not at all.

My Angels

I am going to write about 2 wonderful people that I met at work - Vipin & Rekha ji. And why I choose to write about them because they were there for me when I needed a helping hand and one of them would be moving to another city and the other I wont get to see/meet that often.

Let me start off with Vipin - I knew there's a guy named Vipin in our process but interacted with him only when we moved together in the same project. We went to US on a short trip along with few more guys and he was one of the them who were always there to help me out whenever I was in need - be it at the BART station helping me out with the baggage or at the stores - telling me which shoe will fit best. The best part was I was at ease with him - one will feel embarrassed specially if you are with a male friend if in a store you come across the bikini section right after the pullover section but I wasn't. In fact we laughed :) He was always there to help me out. When I was unwell he was the one who offered & dropped me at home - he came all the way from Gurgaon where he stays. Even at work he will take things slowly & wont worry much. He will laugh & make others laugh too. That was how the last-week of last month went when i was there in the shift with him. I wish him all the best as he'll be moving to a new position. Thanks for everything, Vipin! God bless n' keep that smile n' 'laugh' on your face!

I met her last year when we started to travel together in the same cab in the morning hours. Oh boy initially she came across like an arrogant female. I guess something wasn't right in her life - dont know what it was and dont want to know. Then slowly we started saying our 'hellos'. One fine day she came to know that am from South of India & that took her by surprise. She too is a Southie but from Kerala. And then we started boarding the same bus when our transport team decided to ply bus on our route instead of cab in the morning hours.And last to last week when I met her after 2 months she hugged me. I needed that hug i guess n' Uppar wala heard it. She is one of the amazing ladies that I've met. Someone who handles and balances out her professional as well as personal commitments. She knows everybody in the corporate sector. She talks to everyone. She smiles, laughes & makes other laugh too. And she is always there to help me out whenever am stuck with transport and always makes a point to pick/drop me no matter if other people are getting picked.dropped :) Even this kind of  a help means a lot to me. She is confident and always full of energy. At 40 I have seen very few ladies in that category. I wish her all the best in life n' pray that she stays like this forever! :)

Action Replayy :)

Downloaded and watched "Action Replayy" today. It was a ok-types movie. 60s and the 70s time mesmerizes me. There were times that I wished i was born in that time to witness the fashion, the glamour and the music of 60s and 70s.  If you watch any movie of that time you will always find open spaces and less populated areas/cities.

Alright coming back to the movie - I expected more from this movie. Though the performances were good but I think it would have been better if they would have twisted the story a bit more. Ash looked stunning in 70s style - Akshay & Ranveer were good too. Comedy was good too - there were good punches. Overall enjoyed the movie :) And yes I would love to see the fashion of 70s making a comeback in the upcoming summer season - i wish it does so that I'll have a reason to buy a new Saree :) (I loved Ash's yellow-orange Saree)

My next target would be Golmaal-3 and sRober downing Jr's movie.

I did not attend any call today - want to be with 'myself' for the time being :)

Sad and Sombre...

It was a sombre Diwali for me this time. I wished people  "Happy Holi" & "Happy New Year" instead of wishing them for Diwali - wont blame anyone - its my own disturbed mind.


I am retracting to my 'own' shell - cant say for how long.


It wasnt a great year for me - be it at personal level or professional.


I still believe in love and marriage though none is made for me :)


I dont believe that its happening to me .....sigh!


I wont meet anyone for dont know how many days....


Thanks S******!


My foot aches, my arm pains, my teeth aches - am all broke .... errrrr..... but am still healthy :D

"I just realized, it's so lonely being free."


"I can embrace myself, hold my own hand, love me - but I can't gaze into my own eyes and feel my own soul lift me up."

Peace!
