Happy Holi :-)

I was suffering from the usual bout of 'Monday blues'.. More so since we're in the month of March.. And fellow bankers would agree when I say that this is the most crucial month for us.. When targets and meeting deadlines, preparing and submitting reports are all you can think of, the word 'fun' becomes obsolete..

So when certain people were planning a Holi celebration at office I was just wondering how could they even think of it.. And then I thought it'll be a boring affair since everyone would be pre occupied with their work or may not be interested since they're too tired.. But I was in for a surprise..

Friends smearing each other faces and clothes with colour... and not just a pinch or two but stuffing our fists with lots of colour and happily smearing it on each others faces...and since it wasn't enough that we were having fun, we just HAD to share it with the others in the vicinity.. It was so much fun seeing a friend go and clean up only to have more colour smeared on her..

I was reminded of my college days where even though a performance would be ongoing on stage we would stand at the end of the auditorium and dance with gay abandon not bothering for a second about who's watching us do the crazy steps..

Today I wasnt worried about how I looked with all that colour on me.. I wasnt worried that I have tonnes of work to complete.. I wasn't bothered that im hurt about someone's behaviour at office.. I didn't care about what people thought about me..

Today was only about bringing out the child in me.. it was only about having total unadulterated fun.. It was also about letting go of all that was hurting me.. And I'm feeling happy today ;-)

I'd like to sign off by quoting someone who's wisely remarked "You've got to dance like no one's watching and love like it's never going to hurt again"..Life is too short to take things seriously and keep grudges.. Just let go and you will be truly happy

By the way, I have never celebrated Holi, until today..So here's to many more happy Holi's and other occasions I hope to celebrate with near and dear ones.. :-)

Happy Birthday Mummy :-)

Today would've been Mummy's 64th birthday had she been here with us.. However like she said, it's always the best people that get called to heaven early on.. So she's celebrating her birthday in heaven along with my brother..  My Mummy was a wonderful woman who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.. a homecooked meal, reading books, stitching, embroidery, knitting and she loved tea and had endless cups of tea in a day..  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking for her family.. Even when she made normal stuff like maggi it tasted just out of this world..  So I inherited none of her homely' hobbies, but I inherited her love for books.. She was a well read woman and had an excellent memory.. And she was an excellent teacher and was well respected and loved by all her students.. She was strict with me and my brother.. More so with me.. She had high expectations of me and growing up I had very little margin for error.. I used to resent it that she was so strict and...

Types of friends we all have.. (A friendship day special post)

First of all, a very happy Friendship day to all of you.. I think you have read enough quotes and seen enough reels depicting the importance of friends/friendship in our lives so I won't give you any more 'gyan' on the subject.. But the occasion calls for a customary blog post so I decided to pen down a few thoughts.. I've come a long way from being that naive girl who believed that 'Friendship is forever'.. "Friends forever" is something I scoff at now.. that's probably the cynic in me speaking.. But I've also come to realise that people come into your life at the exact point in time when you need them.. These people turn into friends and then long after they're gone still stay in your life albeit just as memories, but not without leaving a lasting impression on you..   Today I take this opportunity to thank all these different types of friends (some of who are still in my life and some who are not) who decided to adopt me as their friend ...

RAAZ PICHLE JANAM KA

A popular channel is telecasting a prog wherein a person is helped, to find out the reason for his/her problems by going into his/her past life through hypnosis. i was told about the concept of the programme by a colleague. even though i hadnt watched the programme just the description of the programme sent shivers down my spine.. although when i actually watched the programme i was bitterly disappointed. the programme was exactly how she described.. the person being taken back into his past to try and locate that particular instant in his life that left a lasting impact on the person.. The plot till here is ok.. but i just dont seem to understand how an incident can have a lasting impact so deep that it penetrates through the future births of the person too.. a little over the top i should say.. The concept of re birth has been debated over the years.. a lot of research too has gone into this field.. and a whole lot of people can vouch for the fact that sucha thing does exist.. i resp...
