Welcome to my blog.
Personally, I don't think I am a person of astronomical consequences. But, someday I want my life to be like what Jim Morrison said :
I see my self as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star.
Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!"
Then- whoosh, and I am gone....and they will never see any thing like it ever again....
and they wont be able to forget me- ever.

Thanks for coming!
Hope you have a pleasant stay here.

It feels great to be back after a sebbatical. Chennai is good. He surprised me yesterday by coming home early from office. But, there is a pleasure too in waiting for his return.

You say it best when you say nothing at all.

Its heart over head again. I have been trying to change it. Felt an urge to write. I wish I had used "the" language often. But the urge was so much that I quit trying out the cryptographic means and took to english. Now my ofc book is lookin more of a personal diary with more of heart than head.


February 13, 2009
I am begining to feel it. Things are falling in place.


February 11, 2009
Life's moving fast. I feel like standing on a platform and people just moving by. I am already engaged. Will be married soon. It just seemed like yesterday when I was in school. Time is flying. I just dont want to stand there. I want to move forward.


February 8, 2009
Engagement day! I don't know what to expect. But the day went by smoothly, full of joy. But, dad was sad. I am his pet, afterall. But for mom, he would have cried. I saw him choking up. That moment I was sad too. But thats life! Now looking foreward for the happiness that is in store for me.

Way back into Love....Its stuck in my mind like anything. Really good music and lyrics. Love to keep listening to it.

December 14, 2008
Some bonds have become stronger.


November 14, 2008
Watched the "Children of heaven". Its come several times on TV but got to watch only yesterday. Just loved it....got choked up. If I were alone, I would have cried.

A Bug of self-realization just stung me...

You get nothing without asking. Some fools have still not learned this. I feel so helpless.

Having a recurrent dream. Its not just a dream. Its a thought...a meaningful one. Its about the get together.
Me and my friends from school meet up often. It used to be quite often (once a month) now it has reduced (may be once in 3-4 months). But anyway thats not the thought. The thought is.... we all meet up...chat a lot...laugh a lot....eat a lot...and finally go home...but we are doing nothing constructive. To whom....the SOCIETY? I don't know...but its a dream thats has now come twice in the past two weeks.

I just love this day. Wish this day would never end. I don't remember the last time I had a stress free day. It was a good day at office. I loved my time at singing class. Cant stop singing sindhu bhairavi. Missing little surya. Its not only me but all at home. I cant stop myself from laughing when I think mummy looking at Jerry and calling him "Kunjappa". We miss you surya- the cute little mischievous kunjappa.

Skipped office today. Thought of working from home. Am happy for bunking. Had a heart to heart chat with dad. Its been really long since we had a father-daughter time. We were discussing my future. Studies, job, marriage and all. He didn't need to say it as i knew that what ever i do my dad will support me in every way.

We were discussing how many people are lucky to know,study and work in a field that they want. My dad said I am lucky too. Indeed I am. For having such a wonderful loving father and friend.
Thank you daddy!

I hate a person whom I love.

Watched "Horton hears a Who" yesterday. A wonderful movie about an elephant with a belief "a person's a person, no matter how small". An elephant who is determined to save a community of creatures living on a speck on a clover. And we being humans, can definitely do a lot for the creatures in the nature. Our mind is so powerful. It can think so deep about other's situation and pain. I had learn it the sad way. It took one cuckoo in pain for me to realize this. Unaware that cuckoos coo generally seeking mates, I used to enjoy whistling back at its cooing. And it would do the same. It was when I stopped that its gentle coos changed to high frequency shriek. The shrieking continued several days before it finally stopped. I wonder what had happened to it. I might sound stupid but I feel sad when I think about the mental agony I had put it through. I made a promise to myself to never have fun at other's cost. May be somebody is in pain while I am enjoying.

All that I want to say to you o dear friend is:


Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.
~Charles Dickens

We had a small treat from Satish. I enjoyed it. Had dinner, made plans of next get together, which of course is not decided yet, had a healthy discussion on several topics. The one topic which went on for some time was reservation for women in several areas. We have decided to prepare well on our view and get back at each other prepared. Guess this topic is bothering the opposite community. Dad just called in from the railway station. He's been waiting there for past half an hour. But only ladies local were running on tracks for some time(what a luck and a sign for relief for the ladies!). And now, dad discussing the women reservation with me. Guess its going to be long before there's an end to this discussion. I better start gathering my points.

I have been warned from riding cycle. was given so many explanations by my uncle.
the most irritating one was......u live in a posh locality...why don't u buy a car.
others were.....u are not a child any more......u are highly educated....should maintain the standard...
I miss the feeling of joy and success when i used to ride it through the middle of the busy road. The happiness of moving past the motor vehicles that are stuck in traffic....
And now, there goes my lone source of exercise.

Was cleaning my desktop today. There was a file on one corner. I had totally forgotten about it. It had a shayari that i had heard on TV. Here it goes...



"Hamein apnon ne loota,
gairon mein kahaan dum tha.
Meri kashti doobi wahaan,
jahaan pani kam tha."

This reminded me of King Kong. A wonderful movie. The most touching part was the end. There's a line in the movie. I am not able to recollect the exact wording but, this is what was said when King Kong was shot down....



"It's not the bullets that killed it. But, it's the Beauty that killed the Beast."

Such a deep thought......

Listened to Aniruddha's poems today. They were really full of emotions. Its really amazing what love does to a life. I thought it was a myth that a person meets his poetic side when in love but have lately come across quite a number of people who have discovered the poets in them during the best time of their life. So then its true when they say that great discoveries happen by accident.

21st May: Riding on the bike is great fun....but if the distance is not too long you could walk...its even better...

mRiDuLa said...

thats true......but a busy and polluted environment is not an attractive environment for a good walk. I generally walk when I want to spend some time alone. May be looking out for a solution to some problem or just to enjoy nature....and i bet the main road just outside IIT Powai is definitely not a happy place.

Its no different when u r on a cycle....just that u spend less time...ultimately its all about perception...but have to say Mumbai is unbearable sometimes...

mRiDuLa said...

hmmmm...
there might be some who love the noise of the streets..the people...the honking of the vehicles...
u rightly said...its all about perception....

wow..this is awesome....its always great to revisit our thoughts that we thought sometime back...brings back many memories...like our cycle rides to sethu's tuitions and the way we ran for 392 at 10.30 pm....remember how u could spot a 392 from its back!! :) those days were awesome..:D
