Discussions, Record, Play..

  1. Everybody is talking about the populist budget.. and for me, that discussion always brings out something new, new perspectives, new insights, analysis... (phew!).. i will have so many things to discuss with my students.. and now i can give them new projects..
  2. I checked out my balance in the account.. and now i have decided not to spend a single money on me for at least 15 days.... no shopping, no eating out, no faltu kharche... if i do that, i'll achieve a new record!!
  3. There is a very good play on sunday night, and i cannot go to watch it coz i have to go to work early on monday.. i hate sunday nights.. why can't these people have such plays on saturdays?

Cuisine,Surprises, treat..

  1. One of my favourite junk food, vada - paav..! And that too after a long shopping of about 3 hours was something which just cannot be compared with the best of the cuisines in the world... It made my day.. and the fact that i got almost everything which i wanted, it was just an icing on the cake!
  2. How could i resist myself after i came to know that there is a sale in Montina... and if i would have told Aai about it, she wouldn't have allowed me to even go there.. So i went into that paradize, and added to my already flooded collection of shoes and chappals, two brand new ones...! And when i saw the look on Aai's face after showing those to her, i thought she would scold me like anything. instead she surprised me by saying that we'll need a new closet for these..!!
  3. I am going to make khandvi today.. i just love that dish.. and it so difficult to prepare, i just cannot find it in any store, unless i place an order.. so thinking to treat myself by making it on my own, one of the best dishes i can make...

So called cute, Actually cute, Chocolate

  1. Such a strange thing happened today..i was in a seminar - cum Biz plan competition which my college had organized, and was sitting just behind the judges in the faculty row.. and as someone asked the speaker a question, i turned on only to be surprised to see that a girl in that row was so immersed in looking at one of the judges, that she didn't even realize that i was looking at her!!! and to my surprise, not a single girl in that row was different in this sense!! OMIGOD!! we should stop inviting such (so called) cute judges!!! i wonder why i never found that fellow so cute!
  2. Got a very cute (and very late!!) b'day gift from Ashish, a trendy yet smart shirt and a 2 hours meeting over coffee... :)) though we started with his GD PI experience, we ended with a virtual fight over the number of girlfriends he is actually having!! It is so nice to meet friends after such a long time..
  3. My wish of having a bumper dumper chocolate sundae was finally granted today. To add to it, i found out the cookies Aai had brought but had "forgotten" to tell me.. and i decided not to have dinner!!! :)

Retail, Party, Petrol...

  1. For the second time i have cancelled my shopping plans :( so unlike me! First it was bad health, now it is load of work... And as the list is too large, i'll have to take at least 2 hrs for that.. but fortunatly almost everything can be purchased from Westside and Pyramids (naah, Indiabulls megastore!!)... so that i don't have to go and search for the shops first and then quality materials... Thank god for the retail boom!!
  2. Now only me and Aai are at home...Shrirang has again gone to Jaipur for inter - NIT tournaments.. so it's fun time again..and now i'm thinking of various ideas on how to spend the "all girls' day"..! :)
  3. Suddenly i have realized that for all these things, i'll have to fill up my car with petrol, and now i am again looking at my list of shopping to be done.. let's see where can i cut down my expenses to meet my petrol expenses... :((

Workshop, Special meeting, Dilema..

  1. This was one of the pathetic weekends i've ever had!! i was so down with migraine, that i had to miss my workshop at NMIMS!!! God knows when am i going to get this opportunity again...
  2. Though i missed the golden opportunity, i met my grandparents after a long time... it's always a fun meeting them, apart from the pleasure!! And got to eat my grandma's special paratha after a really long time..!! And suddenly i realized, that it's been so many days since i haven't spent a day or two at their place... even when they always long to see us... i hated myself for that...
  3. After reading the reviews of 'Jodha Akbar', now surprisingly i want to see that movie... but again, can i tolerate Mrs. Bachchan for 3 hours?!?!

Sweet , Driving, F.R.I.E.N.D.S

  1. I love moong ka halwa like anything.. it is one of the rarest sweets that i relish.. and when it is fresh and steaming hot, it's a perfect dessert after the only meal you've had in a day...
  2. People drive like crazy, and Aai blame me fot that.. i made a huge mistake by taking Aai to a place on a scooter, instead of a car.. i usually prefer a car over a scooter when Aai is with me.. coz when she's with me on a scoter, she feels that she's about to fall anytime, because of my rash driving...
  3. Finished with the 2nd season of Friends.. It's been really after a long time i'm watching this series... And i'm very hopeful of finishing the 3rd one before monday, courtsey weekend..

Compliments, Refreshing, Cooking...

  1. Got so many compliments for my dress today, which is strange bcoz today was not the first time when i wore that one... if they liked it today, how come it went without notice earlier?!?!?
  2. I selpt in afternoon after coming back from work.. now this is something i've done after so many months... i generally avoid it coz i hate it's after - effects, of me having migraine after sleeping in the afternoon.. :( ..But today that was the reason i had to sleep... though i really cannot judge which was more refreshing, the nap or the tea after that...
  3. Again, after so many days i cooked in the evening, much to the pleasure of Aai.. and i've got this feeling that cooking makes me feel so great.. it's very refreshing for me to cook, to experiment in kitchen.. and as Shrirang didn't utter a word, it was a clear signal of delicious food.. :))

Nostalgic days..

  1. This year also i had a beautiful b'day dinner with Swap...and it was a prudent decision to have the traditional dinner instead of Sizzlers..but still, i wish i'd spent the day with Andy..donno when would that be possible..
  2. Gave the students a news that from next week they'll be having regular quizes on their subjects..and the look on their faces made me remember my MBA days..i certainly don't miss those days.
  3. Again went through the presentation which i got as a gift... some things have changed, i thought, and i'm happy some things happened with me.. still i wondered why it all happened with me..
