A journey to remember !

I've a very bad habit of never to book return tickets from back home. This irritates my mummy papa a lot as the holidays come to an end, we've to rush to travel agents for tatkal bookings, look for options on net, discuss which routes to take in case direct ones are not available....and thus waste lots of precious relaxation time ! Special thanks to Air India to launch direct flights from pune-Gwl. We would be highly obliged and thankful if you could reduce some fat money from the exorbitant amount(8000 INR) charged for a single trip !!!! Please bring it down to some payable level !!!! Anyways, so this isn't about the rates discussion of newly added flights of air India. I want to write about the last experience I'd of my train journey. As usual, I was running on last minute bookings for return to pune. The agent very confidently said " Yes Madam ! i'll book you a confirm ticket in 3 AC Goa express in tatkal" ... "Are you sure?? Please tell me before...

Ainnwe !!!

Does it happens sometimes that you feel good for no specific reason.....everything around is so positive and cheerful and full of life.??? I'm sure it does for many and....I was lucky enough to feel that today ! It was almost like in a typical movie...heroine waking up in the morning with a lazy smile and full stretch :) I just felt good about myself , my life , friends, family ....everything.....I saw a movie with my room mates - Band bajaa baraat....awesome movie....after that we all went into trans for long.....and discussed about typical marriage ceremonial differences of north and south.....Each one of us was very visibly getting hazy about how our marriages would turn out....how are the rituals going to be? Would we impress our in-laws...ha ha .It was so much fun I read "Breathless in Bombay" book for the rest of my afternoon....and in the evening an Office friend called asking me to go out with her.....we considered our options of going out...either watching a...

Miracles of the mindless mind!

The mind plays very strange games with us….. Its happy when you get something you wanted to for long…. Its sad when it doesn’t…. Its happy when others are happy but not when the other’s happiness cuts up yours even though the other person is close to you…. Its sad for other’s sadness but never too long….the moment you have others things floating in your mind , it very happily engrosses us in the routine life…. Its also sad when you pretended in front of everybody that you are really not expecting anything out of some situation and are perfectly fine with every thing and it turns out the other way…. Its happy for trivial things and also sad for the same... It makes us experience such mix of emotions ….despair, sadness, delight,euphoria…...its really incomprehensible….and when it’s a moody one….lord save us ! Some deep scientific type of a guy would like to tell me that its all about the hormones and all that tech stuff….but my mind would like to believe otherwise….or is the heart I am t...

The Express Way !

Its been quite a number of times since I’ve travelled in a bus now….and the experiences are myriad. Especially the short distance bus routes ….. I see lot of people in the bus who r rushing back to meet their families for a couple of hours after a long tiring day with initial buttons of the shirt opened and collars ascrewed giving an impression of the torture accessory just being pulled off cruelly…. or getting back to work, with crisp light blue shirt, ironed formals and a suave blackberry in hand, and vice versa. Others are lots of senior citizens probably off to meet their sons and daughters who had their snacks packed for the 2 hour journey and juices filled up in a bisleri bottle. These people also differ variedly. Some are educated ones and start questioning about your education, work, background etc with keen interest. And they always have somebody in their family relations to brag about their job profiles comparing you with theirs and also end up giving advices on what you shou...

Life !!!

Yup...... i had a chat with a friend few days back.....who explained me this great theory of excuse for all my 'should i do it stuff',' not doing stuff', 'don't want to do stuff' etc type of things.....and she said its natural (relief!!)......With age comes great confusion.....extra responsibility....more Ick factor..... loss of control over life ....and total chaos !!!! So I guess I'm just being humanly natural following this one !!! I suddenly have a mood change from a cozy get up from bed to wondering "why do i have to work?" till I reach the stage of brushing my teeth .......and "Is this really I want of life?" till I'm hanging on one of the handles in the bus....."34##$^#$#@*" "??????" "!!!!!" the rest of the day.......... and "life's like that sigh" till I'm back to my lappy and watching friends happily :P

Strange Emotions

When I first landed in pune ......... life was so good........almost all of my hostel friends made their way to this city one by one .....and it was party time :P.........and now ...... the sooner they came to celebrate our second get together type of stuff.... the faster they were thrown to different parts of the country once again !!! (sigh) Its just so difficult to be without friends again......I was wondering how'd life would be after few years down the line after the nuptial knots.....the ppl with whom I've shared every emotion, little spaces in the hostel rooms,eaten from each other's plates, fought for sunday hostel feast sweets,talked about random stuff for endless hours(to the extreme of discussing shapes of clouds too) and what not !!! ...... in future privacy wouldn't be an alien term....wud have to check the time once calling a buddy....and most of all , wud have to mark our calenders to meet !!! life's really strange :(

Change for the better !

Here i go again.....I'd been in a state of "non-working"(if there's a term like that, demotivating (or was it un-motivating!)....see i was just like that...lost !!! I always used to tell my friend that I'd do this that, blah, blah.....if only I had time!!! and I got a return appropriate bashing that I was not am eminent personality to be stuck with some nuclear deal type of affairs to start something new....So finally I forced myself out of bed and computer games on a cozy saturday afternoon...went to a near by government school...where some of the like minded ppl gathered every weekend to teach children ! It was hell lot of fun....I was feeling awkward at the thought of how wil I teach and wat good knowledge I could probably impart the innocent souls....but the children themselves made my task easier .....they came up to me running, eyes beaming with naughtiness and hands eager to write "A B C D"...I was just much more happier to be able to do something...
