At Home ...

Am at home now!!! And enjoying all the privileges that go with it!!! Eating as if I have not had a morsel to eat the past 4 months & sleeping to my heart's content...It is a wonder how you get to sleep so soundly at home with all the commotion happening around you (you will get an idea of what I am talking about if you have ever dealt with 2 shrieking kids around you) and don’t get a wink of sleep anywhere else with not even a whisper of wind to disturb you... But that is what Home is all about I guess... Feels great to be back!!!

Went via Bangalore to Trichy this time …. Stayed with my brother & my ‘perimma/maasi’ for 2 days in Bangalore...Unlike Tamilnadu you can manage with Hindi or English in Bangalore… a cool place...literally & figuratively …went to a mall (yeah again…:-)) and roamed around.. Could not resist the book shop there …there was really a good collection of books … Got Bourne Supremacy (Aye!! the same thriller movie) by Robert Ludlum and Shashi Tharoor‘s INDIA – Midnight to Millennium..The second one gifted by my brother... Hoping for a good read on that one ...

Finished a quarter century in this Earth today...Yeah...Its my birthday today... and for once I did the right thing by coming home at this time of the year … Mom, Dad and my sisters have always made this day special.. Not anything as elaborate as cake cutting … but the more subtle yet touching one when each one of them wish me the first thing in the morning …That really makes me feel special …Went to the temple today with them (yeah you got it… once in a year affair) wearing saree with all the extra fittings (a very heavy attire let me tell you…tried telling Mom but she would not listen… so thought of humoring her at least today :-))

Felt ‘Mumbai Sick’ yesterday night... Was awake for quite some time looking at the photos…& felt nostalgic …Was reminded of the past 2 birthdays there … the customary cake cutting with all the friends around … That was really something … Each one of them had made my life richer in some way …hmmm… Will go back there...Hopefully someday soon…

Till then... it is five more days of bliss ..at HOME ...

To Love , Honor & Cherish !!

I am the kind of person who cannot keep things inside me for long … It is very rare that I keep secrets… and mostly such secrets still remain secrets because of loads of dire threatening & warning … and yeah sometimes caution prevails and I vow myself to never utter a word outside about it … But if something is 'happening' in my own life… then it is sometimes a wonder that I do not climb the nearest mountain & shout it out till either my lungs or my throat give up... There is a sweet turn of events in life … What can I say!! :-) He came, he smiled and he conquered … And one of the most difficult questions in my life was solved owing to a smile… :-) I have always been fascinated by the Christian Sacred vows of Matrimony… How true the words ring out …. I take thee to be my wedded husband/wife . . to have and to hold.. from this day forward . . . for better, for worse . . . for richer, for poorer . . . in sickness and in health . . . 'till death do us part . . . and th...

Rajnikanth - Fish out of water !!

It was the first or rather the 2nd Rajnikanth movie for me to watch in theatre.. I do not know what I had expected to see.. But somehow it beat all the expectations I had .. I like him somehow.... those eyes of his have captured thousands of Tamil people's hearts (yeah.. not an exaggeration) ..and even though am not a fanatic of his movies.. I like him... It is his latest - ' Chandramukhi ' & I had watched it along with some of my friends in Matunga ..It was a different experience seeing a Rajnikanth movie in Mumbai ... But before u read on I just want to write a disclaimer ' The views expressed here are not intended to hurt anybody's taste . It is solely intended as a topic for discussion' .. Thanks.. now read.. Rajini is not that good an actor.. he fails miserably in sentimental scenes... he doesnt know to dance or atleast u can say that his dance is not graceful ... he doesnt pronounce Tamil the way it is supposed to be ...he started out his career as a v...

It is Autumn !!

When I was thinking how to write about the changes that have occurred in my life this time .. it suddenly struck me how apt my blog title "Transition" is .... atleast for now ... There have been so many transitions recently .. some were superficial & some were things that have run deep... like for instance the Farewell of my Bestest friend.. In my earlier post it was to bid 'adieu' to my room mate & close friend of 2 years ... I had gone to her marriage.. felt happy .. felt sad .. then came back to the same grind at office .... This week it was my bestest friend's turn to say bye ... He has been such a solid presence with all the timely advices, the kind words you want to hear , an infinitely big heart and as another friend had described once "a sample of the extinct species of a good man from a different era"... The kind of ideals that he upholds have to be experienced to be believed... And this moocho man will be blushing to his ro...
