"Elbow"ing it out......

Well the Aussies have arrived in India and the series promises to be an exciting one. I just hope that Sachin gets back on the field as soon as possible cos its really a treat to watch the Tendlya-Warney dual. But Sachin should have got a "cricket" elbow and not a "tennis" one...;) (Ok..that was a sad PJ.....but still a genuine doubt..hehehe!!)
The newspapers also caught me reading about the life bans on women Indian weightlifters but wat stunned me was that the officials werent sacked. And I'm sure the court cases against this decision will also go on for life....all thanks to the trustworthy Indian legal system!!!!
At last I met up with Hari.....all thanx to her singing skills again...;) but she was reely surprised to see me early in the morn.....felt nice and did some usual catching up with her. Hogged on some delicious grilled sandwiches, sev-puri(our favourite....i reely do miss my sev-puri days with Hari), bakri with equally tasty chutney, laddoos....prepared by her aunt and that to all within half an hr!!!...(Shruts..hope u faint after readin this...hehehehe!!)
Nice to know that at last both Nam and Seem managed quite a bit of shopping and since Nam followed my instructions so obediently....now me also planning to open a boutique kind of thing...actually wonderin what would the brand name be......suggestions are welcome everyone....
...?????? Well Nam a special message out 2 u...."Rock Athena...;) and make me proud of ya...;)
Caught up with Maiths 2 and struck a deal with her on her home-made pizzas.....and me reely planning 2 not let that deal go waste...though she was kind enough to tell that the deal is open anytime and according 2 my convenience....:-) Will surely make it soon Maiths!!!
Today we have the September Bday Celebration in office and me as usual waiting for the yummmmmmy cake.....more about that in my next post!!!!

The Week Without End.......!!!

No sleep, no going out,no studies,no food.....i mean the list of negations were on a rise this week that never ended for me. Well since today happened to be a holiday for us on account of ganpati visarjan...i had to compensate on the project work by working on weekends. So i ended up coding away to glory......and on sunday afternoon...sleepcoding away to glory..:-) So the weekend was really hectic...but at last managed quite an amount of work that had to be done.
The ganpati at my place was immersed today....so the whole atmosphere feels very quiet and blessed!!
Had been to Nam's place for ganpati....and also met her after a long time. Landed up early morning at her place and also spoilt her peaceful Sun sleep........but enjoyed it...;)Met everyone at her place...the only disappointment being Jerry didnt recognise me....:-(
Also had a lot of vocal chords practice sessions over the weekends......cos i had 2 manage quite a bit of singing.....;)..i mean almost felt like i had become an international star!!Now the only thing remaining is 2 give autographs!!!!But i guess i shouldnt land up putting people to sleep...;)
Lot of weird things have started happening with my PC too since yesterday. All i land up doing is following instructions,adding or removing programs.........dunno the credibility of the assistance part though...:-)!!! But i guess singing to the comp really helps cos that really creates some action stuff......(By the way Arul remember the GD topic we had discussed once.....;)....!!)

The Quest....

Yesterday is already a dream
And tommorrow is only a hope
But today well-lived makes yesterday a dream of happiness
and tommorrow a vision of hope...
As each day passes i am more certain of the fact that my quest for the unknown has not ceased. Sometimes this quest is purely fascinating, sometimes its the urge to know the unknown, sometimes its pure irritation that why cant things be seen in my way and sometimes its wondering as to if i should give a thought to what others think....... All in all its one mind-boggling crossword that i have to solve.....the only things which seem to be missing are the "down" and "across" clues to help me solve it. But the fact is the clues are right there within me..primarily being keeping up the hope and faith in me...the inner strength beckons me and assits me one more time...yet again. The words in the crossword just fall into place but one needs alphabets to make meaningful words and there lies the gist.......alphabets are the same...but words may differ...and similarly things are the same...perceptions might differ. And tommorrow is yet another day.......time for the next crossword to arrive at my doorstep...and u bet me ready for it..clues or no clues!!!!

Aussiezed....!!!

Well......at last 4 a change the result which everyone wanted was achieved..i guess.....Aussies losing to the English and that too even after a decent score of 259 was unbelievable. But i guess with the Aussies tourin us in the near future.....this should be happy news for Indians. Though i know that every game in cricket is a new game...and its a new day...but doesnt matter in being a little optimistic and slightly over-enthusiaistic 4 the Indian team!!!
My work went pretty ok..got quite an amount of codin done. Was troublin Seem online with sum queries on JSP.....she has a lot of patience and was kind enough to attend to my doubts. Thanx Seem..:-) Chatted with Nam 2....dunno when im gonna get her treat......?????!!
Left a little early from office to avoid the traffic...and the bus journey bak home was reely eventful!!! I forgot to buy the ticket.........and managed 2 get down the bus unnoticed. I knw people who know me wont b surprised but i dunno where i was 2day. I was so immersed in my own thoughts.....dont even know what was so important.....was thinking about ganpati visarjan.....then Britney and Federline's marriage...hehehe and of course the BAB updates. Shruts..dunno wat i wud do without those updates of urs...;)
And the bus journey got me hummin.....
Tanha dil...Tanha safar
Dhoondhe tujhe phir kyun nazar....

Dada XI Fall........

Well the Indo-Pak match turned out to be a letdown.....and my predictions turned out to be true after all..the scorecard was indeed resembling a phone number. Dunno wats wrong with our team...but still the eternal optimistic feeling in me says......." Fall but learn to rise..." cos everyday is a new day and who knows whats in store for the Indian team too. Hope its a meteoric rise again.....
A special mention to Pathan......who really brought the hope back for India after such a poor score. Youhana and Afridi battered away in the end.......I was seiously beginning to wonder as to wat Afridi had for breakfast and somwhere i think he had my dosas...cos they can only work such wonders...:)
Saw Swades trailers and of course yet again...as usual...SRK looks mindblowin!!!! Just wish cud meet him 1ce..hmmmmmmmmm. Also caught up with the Emmies in the mornin for arnd half an hour....and must say Braddie and Banderas looked awesome as usual...:) ;)
Another week started by and lots of work was there today and loads of work lined up for the whole week...wish weekends were of 5 days sumtimes ;)
Nam....hope to get a treat from you over the weekend....and better load your wallet....cos im gonna take a double treat..nah..in fact a triple treat from u!!!
Hari....kool tat ur trip here is finalised and waiting to talk to u tommorrow..:)

Dosas and Cricket...!!!

Hmm....what a Sunday to roll off!!! I guess the cricket fever is really catching up with everyone and looks like even my mom was not left far behind in this. In the Morning as soon as i got up she threw a googly at me by giving me certain absolutely mindblowing options like either making the rangoli or the dosas!!! I was almost gonna be bowled out....but me decided to give it a shot...and tat 2 with no dosa practice for almost 2 months now..hehehehee!!
My mom cant be entirely blamed either cos i literally live like a lodge on weekdays..;) But dosa making didnt turn out 2 b a difficult pitch 2 bat on..after all....its just following certain basics and the dosas turned out 2 b white,crispy and yummy!!!! Gathered up sum compliments....only difference being that there was no award in this match.
So i hope tat the Indian team take some inspiration from me...;) JUST STICK 2 THE BASICS guys.......Im sure ull do well!!! So im just hoping that they put up a good fight and dont fall like a pack of cards...cos off late the Indian scorecard looks like a phone number...all scores being with single digits.
Well caught up on Dhoom yday in parts......it was pretty ok!! Nice bikes, smart leather jackets and of course...an awesome English version of the title song!!!
Arul..nice 2 knw tat u feeling better!!Take care..


Tats it 4 now...adios!!

"Lord"ing it on the home front!!!

Well....its tat time of the yr again. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to one and all!! And this time its arrived on the weekend...so really felt nice 2 get the puja done peacefully with no work pressures. In the busy lives that we all lead 2day, i feel that i end up praying more as a routine than to actually think and thank God 4 everything. I think such festivals just enable me 2 do that.
So we bought the idol at home,performed puja early in the mornin and now after the puja is over....and with the soothing fragrance of the incense sticks......i get a serene feeling of being at peace with myself. Just giving an indication to me to "KEEP UP THE FAITH" in myself !!! I prayed for each and evry1 i knew....let evry1s wishes come true is all i can sincerely hope 4!!
Today surprisingly,inspite of it being a weekend, i didnt crib of gettin up early....cos me just feeling nice 2day.
Well.....i hope certain ppl are at peace now tat i updated my blog...hehee....will try 2 write more regularly cos as arul's friend soray put it "set free the writer in u".....sounded a valid point somewhere cos i hardly find time 2 write and this is just a good way of penning my thoughts!!!
