Drenched with rains, feelings...

1. It finally rained!! i don;t like this season much, because of some very stupid reasons, like; we cannot wear all the delicate yet expensive sandles, cannot go on a long drive because we don't have anything like 'rainy season' holidays, unless you're in Mumbai and it is reaning like hell... But, i also love this season for all the masti with 'n' number of cups of tea in a day, leaving car in the parking lot and deliberately proceeding without an umbrella, and being totally drenched at least once a week... and everybody was waiting for the heavens to pour.. for almost a week the weather was cloudy, leaving it humid... and finally, since yesterday, it's raining! and i cannot remember how many times i've had the adrak ki chai now!
2. We'd been to my maternal grandparents palce today evening. And it suddenly occured to me that it's been almost more than a month since i've paid a visit to their place. And when grandpa said that it's okay because you people are so much busy in your schedules, and they have so much time because of which they wait to see us, i somehow sensed the sadness rather than the sarcasm. And i felt so bad.. even after being in the same city, we cannot go and visit them because of our so-called busy schedules... and me, Shrirang and Aman decided to go there at least once a week... to have all the fun, with them!
3. Even though i've to go very early tomorrow to the college, i'm not feeling very bad fabout fit... now this is a very rare feeling on a Sunday night! But lately, because of some new work on my side, and very interactive new batch, i no longer have monday blues! Hope it continues throughout the year!

Reunion, Refreshement, Achievement....

1. Had a very eventful day today.. met my old college friends after a very hectic day at work..it's been years since all of us met last, so all were looking for this day. And we met at a restaurant where we'd gathered together on the last day of our final year's examination. So all the memories were refreshed... and though few of us are married, it was not at all a limitation to all the fun and masti we had in that jam packed restaurant... so much so that many people actualy turned to see us! (for the masti, not for 'us'!)
2. After that met Ragga after many days, again! Lately he's been busy been busy with his project, and me with my work.... and this meeting was exact in contrast of what we generally have.. we discussed about MBA, MTech, jobs, and Life!! my god, whatever has happened to us! fortunately, we realized this soon and decided to return to our normal self by sharing some new PJs..! And he told me that i suck big time!! :) It's so nice to meet people who care for you and love you relentlessly...
3. While i was checking out few tshirts (again!) at Globus with my friends, few of my students, who were shopping there came to meet me.. and we talked about their project, how good collection this store has, about a new play which some of them are doing, about this new movie they just wached.. after they left by showing me way to a very good range of cardigans, my friends told me how good they felt by looking at the conversation a lecturer was having with her students.. and wished we also had few lecturers back then... this made my day! My students love me! And people want/wanted to have a teacher like me! :)

Best, Worst, Better...

1. This was the best batch of chocolates i've ever made! And to my surprise, i could make almost 50 pieces out of it!! I'm so happy i finally made the 'black-chocolate' and 'milk-chocolate' as per my taste... Though it's been not more than a couple of hours i made it, now almost 30 pieces are left, courtsey Shrirang! But now i have the perfect recipe for the perfect chocolate which i can make anytime i want!! Ashish is going to be so very happy reading this!! And he's going to get some (or the whole batch??!) in his next trip here! How i wish Andy would love chocolates as much as i do...
2. I hate summer!! Got very late in the morning fot the office, and thanx to my fellow neighbours, who park their cars in an unorderly fashion, i could not get my car out in that very less time. So had to go on a two wheeler.. it's pretty tolerable while going, but while coming back, it was burning like hell! I had all the gloves and scarf and socks and goggles, yet i had to just lie down on the bed in AC for at least 20 minutes before i could do anything else! I hate Summer!!! :(
3. Suddenly i am finding i have very les energy left at the end of the day.. majority of it is because of this stupid weather with mercury rising beyond 43 degree C.. but still i feel i should start my evening walk again.. as i have to go early to work , cannot afford to have a morning walk, but i can figure out the difference which it makes.. at least should begin with two rounds of evening walk...

Impluse, Planned, Unplanned...

1. Visited the boutique after so many days... Though i had to collect Aai's dresses, i ended up ordering a couple of new varieties for myself.. apart from the two shirts which i bought! This happens every time... yes, every time... :( I always decide i'll not buy anything, or at the max one shirt or a top or a suit.. but i just love clothes.. and i love to experiment with them.. and everytime i console myself with the same excuse!
2. Had gone to this book market with Swap. This was on my agenda for so long, that i was really excited about it, because i had a full list of books which i wanted to purchase. And i had decided that i'll buy at least 5-6 of them today. But as luck would have it, those vendors were not there, as a part of some improvement trust program, and nobody knew where were they shifted! Hell!! Now i'll have to wait till i fix my next trip to either Pune or Mumbai. And this will not happen at least for the next 3 months... Swap consoled me by asking me to take these from the library. Of course i will! Don't see much of a choice for sometime. But these are the ones which i want in my collection, and not just read and returned!
3. Got a chance to have paav-bhaji after such a long time... one of my fav dishes... at least this was a better part of the evening... hot paav-bhaji with tarri, cold drink and icecream in the fridge! Best way to end a hectic day, and having known that there is a two days holiday after that, makes it even more pleasent!

Satisfaction, connection, irritation...

1. Finally, i almost completed the work which was given to me. Cannot say completed, coz 1% is still remaining and is completely out of my duty/right/ability to do that 1%... but if that tiny part goes wrong (which i would not be able to help), the whole 99% would be gone! Yet, i am happy and satisfied!!
2. My routine call to Andy in the morning was not as usual cheerful. He was not well,which made me feel bad. I let him sleep for some time (by giving some tips which i get frequently!), and did my work. After that i called him again, only to find out that he is even more sick. I requested him to go to doctor, and realized that suddenly my appetite has gone. Till evening i could not eat anything, except gulping lots of tea. and when he told me he was feeling better and had some medicines and food, then i felt relieved and thought of having some food myself, now feeling a bit sick by not eating anything! How connected i am to all his things... :)
3. Had a big fight with Shrirang.. Younger brothers are nothing but pain in the neck.. he started this fight over the TV remote (he wanted to watch stupid IPL AND some premier league), then passed on to who will fill the bottles in the fridge (which he finishes off), then for scattering clothes on MY bed (this is so irritating!) to finally giving money for ice-cream(i don't understand how can he expect me to give money even after such fights)!!! and unfortunately, he's so huge, i just cannot exihibit my physical strengths(??) in front of him.. my right arm is still aching.. :(

Favourites....

1. Just cannot think of anything else! Last weekend was one of the best weekends i've ever had... in one of my favourite cities..Hyderabad! With my favourite person!! And now cannot wait to meet him again, go to that palce again... why does time fly so fast when you want it to be the slowest?
2. So many unfinished tasks... one of them being to complete Warli painting on the wall in my room.. apart from joining a cooking class where they'll teach all the cookies and cakes.. now we should at least know how to cook something which is our fav! and i know so few recipies of cakes... :( should do that fast!
3. I'm waiting for the music program which i'll be delivering after so many years... and to prepare for something like that is always fun.. i wish he would be there to see me singing again..

Refreshment, Repeat, Excitement...

1. Today after a week-long gap i went out!! And it was so much refreshing to watch a play, staged by few of my colleagues as well as my students! Just a one hour play, yet having a lot of grip... and i was happy that my cousins (all 3 of whom were irritated at the sound 'play') enjoyed it to the core!!
2. This time again i missed the Roadies! And to add to it, i missed the two repeat shows also! And whenever i could see those, they were showing 'next week' thing! I have to watch this one! i dont wanna miss Anmol going out... hoping for Shambhavi to go too.... oh yes, i can put reminder in Tata Sky... lemmi see when are they showing it again...
3. It is such a strange feeling to have on a sunday night... to be excited about the monday's work!! Generally i get these Monday-blues.. but this time, because of 4 days of holidays, including a weekend, as well as my sick leave, i couldn't go to work for the whole week!! So i am really looking forward to have a great monday ahead, so as to have a great week!
