A very happy friendship day to all who are reading this and especially to all my friends.. :) I've been getting messages throughout this week wishing me a happy frienship week... Feels nice to be getting such wishes although I must say over the years how I view this relationship called Friendship has changed alot.. Till my Post Graduation I remember having given Freindship day cards to my friends.. Well I'm very choosy when it comes to choosing friends..And not that I'm very easy to be friends with, but there are very few people I refer to as "friends".. So my friends have always felt very nice whenever I have given them cards.. of course now I feel im too old for such stuff and basically I dont want to run the risk of tellin someone how special they are coz then people tend to take you for granted.. Actually these are most recent thoughts based on experiences of the past few months.. I wasn't always this cynical.. ;) Nevertheless I've always had the good ...

My first instinct when I saw the promos of Delhi Belly was to give the movie a miss.. But for some reason went to watch it and I was very disappointed, to say the least.. My husband who enjoyed the movie a lot wanted to know what I didnt like about the movie, and he hit the nail on the head when he asked me if it was too vulgar.. Yeah too vulgar for my taste and honestly even though the reviews of the movie say that it depicts how the youth of today are, I beg to differ.. Firstly the serial cussing in the movie is a major turn off.. Every scene in the movie consists of swear words.. Im not sayin I dont swear.. But yeah I have to be really frustrated and the person has to really mean a lot to me, for me to be callin him/her names.. the name calling in the movie is definitely without malice but somehow it feels overdone.. And then the songs.. except for Bhaag D K Bose, none of the other songs are worth listenin to.. Story line too is very unrealistic.. 3 guys next door getting entangled ...

They say, trying to be nice is like being a goal keeper, no matter how good a goal keeper you are, you will always be remembered for the one you miss.. Was shocked with the news of the AI express Crash at Bajpe Airport, Mangalore.. 158 passengers killed, bodies charred beyond recognition, families fighting over bodies, 22 bodies yet to be identified.. Too much to digest? For me it is... And while families are still trying to cope up with their loss, news channels are speculating as to what may have caused the crash.. Pilot error, pilot fatigue.. these reasons are what top the list.. Newspapers are streaming with reports about the crash and its aftermath.. And a line that caught my eye was "After a crash if the pilot survives, nail him.. If not then blame him".. This line made me feel sick the moment i read it.. As if it is not enough for the family members of the pilots,to have lost their son/husband, that they have to put up with speculations like pilot error, pilot fatigue ...

I guess my roomie is in a terrible mood today.. She was just venting her feelings of frustration and exclaimed that everyone is selfish including me.. Well u cannot imagine how offended i was when i heard that and when someone says something that hurts me i go off into the sulk mode, where i spend hours in silence, brooding over what that 'someone' said, and it can take from hours to days for me to come out of sulk world.. And whenever someone says something in direct reference to me, i go into deep thought as to what made that person say what he/she did about me.. And so we have our topic for today - "Selfishness".. I guess I am selfish and so is everyone else.. Maybe the degree of selfishness differs but the universal truth is that everyone is selfish.. So why are we offended when we see behavior from others that we would like to put a label on and call it Selfish! and when we do the same to others its totally justified is it?? Selfishness i guess means self centre...

I work at a Bank.. I'm presently working at the Head Office.. well we wont go into the details of my job, but yes, despite the amount i crib about it, i still love my job..:) I wont say I'm a great worker, but yes i do give it my best. About my passion, you will hear several people repeat the same, but anyway, my passion is music..:) Music is a necessity of life these days i guess.. Take Bangalore for instance; you will seldom find someone without earphones stickin into their ears, whether they are walking, in the bus or riding.. Most people listen to music all the time that they are on the road.. I do too.. I listen to music right from the moment i step out of my PG till the moment i step into office.. I started singing when i was 6.. My teacher in school thought that i had a good voice and encouraged me to sing.. Of course my mom too realized I have a good voice and did send me for singing classes to a music teacher in my vicinity.. I don't remember why but i discontinued...

To all those people who were eagerly waiting for my next blog, and to Gundu who suggested I write on the topic.. :) I never knew it was mothers day until I saw some forwards on my phone asking me to thank my mother for giving birth to me or something to that effect.. It was a Sunday n I had just woken up and was lolling in bed when my mom called so i wished her Happy Mother's Day.. She was slightly surprised.. I'm sure she too wasn't aware that it was HER day..;) anyway we chatted for a while and i hung up promising to call her in the evening.. Was still pondering over Mother's day when i read a column my Shobhaa De`, who was of the opinion that Mother's day is just an opportunity for Card Sellers to cash in on the occasion, until her kids made her feel super special, n thats when she kind of changed her opinion about Mother's Day.. I was thinking of how much we take for granted our mothers.. I, especially take it as my birth right to be loved, pampered and made...

The lyrics of a favorite hymn of mine go like this: "Lord I hope this day is good I'm feeling empty and misunderstood I should be thankful Lord I know I should but Lord I hope this day is good" I can so relate to this hymn right now coz I am feeling empty and misunderstood. I always used to pride myself on being very open and honest. I was never in the habit of mincing words.My classmates and friends have admired me for this very quality of mine. Close friends confide in me with the hope that I will give them an honest opinion about things the way I see it.but off late I'm getting into trouble for my honesty. Making more enemies than friends and people close to me i feel are drifting away. so now I'm confused. am I supposed to be flowing with the tide and not against it lest i be swept away by a strong current and drown? What if i want to flow with the tide but at a pace of my own, in a style of my own? I'm feeling totally lost at this point of time.. and at a...
