Order Order...

I am so so proud of my best friend from law school.. someone whom i have counted on for almost nething and everything under the sun.. She is not my mirror image.. but surely has stuck by me like a shadow...

Today in a very very happy moment for her... I really thank god for making it happen!!! While she is Persistence Personified, Patient enough to wait and work tirelessly towards her dreams..She is someone who is imitable in every sense.. be her dreams, style sense or just the warm person she is...

I could go on and on... but can't.. Because the Happiness of Her Making IT..consumes it.. I'm overwhelmed... over-joyed for a long list of people's wishes and prayers persisted through her tough endeavour...

Justice Mahima Rai... Let your OH-RDER Prevail!!!

Happiness...

Sometimes things just make you ao happy that you keep wondering about them.. something like this happened today.. least did i expect that i'd ever feel so happy for someone.. may be because I truly admire that person for everything he is... For the friend he proves.. someone i may speak so sporadically to... yet we speak with such immense warmth!!! For the unique nickname i have from him. by which i wil be addressed no matter what.. for pizza hut lunches with friends and ofcourse dozes of cetrizine!!! Incessant rounds of Raja Mantri chor sipahi as we adorned our uniforms and constant chatter... occupying the seat in front of some people will always seem like yesterday!!!

Little did i know i'd feel this way for him.. he having found his better half and being so close to a "happily ever after" real-tale.. makes me envious too... wondersome.. wishing upon the stars for me to feel the same!!! but then all this is lost in this beaming glee that i have on my face, since this afternoon!!! Ofcourse came as almost a shock to me, for I had no clue.. deceptive dimples surely played their trick.. yet!!!

All the best Shanky.. am sure you guys will rock.. honest can't wait to meet you.. ab to Leopold mein ek jaam ho jaye.. shayad kisi gore ke naam:P !!!

Man-Chester United.. Personified

Sir Roy Keane... is what he relates himself to... and rightly so!!!!Football buff.. these days busy pumping iron.. and producing "hunk-like" results at that I must say... which for once mind you s not psuedo or a farce or for an unconvincing reason... I have the time of my life shooting the breeze with him.. we share gyan.. gaan and Ofc.. our Surname!!!

Whom I talk about is this bro-like innocent chap.. a friend i made OL (yet again.. from PI@orkut) and someone who never ceases to entertain me.. Our first meeting was outside KFC (only Outside ah!!)and we headed to CCD.. to plan the first Delhi- PI meet... I think our first banter was a great ice-breaker...and there has never been any looking back!

Even though our convos are often full of "Vera enna?" ("What else" in Palakkad tamil) and my "Onnum illai.. apdiye nadakardu" (Nothing else.. all the same) meeting him and spending time is always a lovely experience. There are several reasons for that...

a. He is one of those few people who seem to be absolutely devoid malice.
b. Entertaining.. eventhough our convos are generally quite sensible
c. Very focussed chap
d. Abso clean heart and great clarity of mind
e. Someone who seems to have reverance and respect for his parents beyond compare.

These are some qualities I really appreciate and respect in him. Even though he is a couple of years younger.. there are a number of cues I need to pick from him. What is most amazing is that he stands apart from the crowd.. especially for people his age and fearlessly does so.. Like a true Man.. And trust me .. when he has the sculpts in place.. he truly will be Man-Chester United Personified... Just like the toughie he aims to be.. just as pure hearted is what he is..(Btw on the "Man" prefix.. ur hostel title also suits to this effect!!!)

As for our friendship.. even though i pushed the door instead of pulling it.. I hope i pull the strings in the right direction here.. Cheers!!!

Wake Up Sid... Oops.. Divs...

Well.. the movie came on a day I really got a wake up call.. about me being over emotional about some things.. the inability to let go and the need for a once in a while chalta hai attitude towards certain gestures or experiences... A lesson I perhaps should have learnt by now.. But alas.. Its never too late..

The Movie Wake Up Sid.. is the complete opposite of what I need to learn.. Its about a rich brat learning to focus.. find his calling.. n discovering his Love... Phew.. heavy ah??? the best bit is the movie is not another Lakshya.. I thought lakshya was fabulous.. but KSS was good here.. I loved the charecter Laxmi.. and as someone rightly pointed out.. am quite an amalgamation of both these charecters!!! And am sure people who have been at the receiving end of my affection and brickbats.. will shout "Ayes" at the top of their lungs!!!!

Anyway I thought the movie was well scripted.. the dialogues were good... however.. I donno I thought the end was too rushed.. as though the director wanted to sound the alarm at 2:30 hrs..And I wasnt in the "sentimental fool" mood that I have been in for sometime now to buy it!!!Loved the song Ik tara...Awesome number... it is still ringing in my ears..

However.. I still suggest you go and catch the movie.. if you love mumbai.. the landscapes are awesome.. the Beach, marine drive.. all beautifully captured.. Lovely snaps taken in the course of the movie... I'm going after a Nikon digi cam next!!!

As Wake Up Sid comes on a day.. when perhaps some part of me Woke up... I better Stay Up Divs.....

Muchas Gracias....

Completing a quarter century.. was quite a milestone… a jinx broken..lovely songs… flowers.. chocolate… and all the lovely things…

Celebrations began the previous day.. Blues…n music… still stuck on auto rides.. just that the rides this time were in august company… Midnight phonecalls… one o’clock singing… drawing analogy to Chocolate and Ice cream… sun rise...new clothes.. Rs. 101... Office banter… CCD... sloppy service although some lovely heart to heart convos with best buddy… Bumped into childhood pal... Fav Juni Joins.. Blues again… The songs and requests… some surprise filled flowers…the treat… autoride until Ashram Chowk… the banter, the laughter, incessant phone calls.. being smitten by the air around... and then royal ride again…. Meeting new People... And the laughter… Lovely ecards.. and a powerpoint.. about all the things I cherish... Ending the day... closest buddies getting chatty... sleeping with someone's magical fingers strumming my favourite instrument...my fav songs...

Now am singing... Thank You... for giving me the Best day of my Life!!!

Dreaming With A Broken Heart

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for the moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was he really here?
Is he standing in my room?
No he's not, 'cause he's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
He takes you in with your crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No he can't, 'cause he's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh

Now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Baby won't you get them if i did?
No you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part...

(It is... Love this John mayer song... Speaks My heart... and all the he(s) are originally she(s) in the song...)
