echoes....................

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.

And no-one called us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
And no-one speaks and no-one tries
And no-one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
inciting and inviting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

……wow!!!

These are the lyrics from the song Echoes – Pink Floyd…(I listen to it almost every day…and today I am stuck to this song….have already heard more than 10 times :P…..!!!)
This is one of the amazing compilations from Pink Floyd (if you are not into their music, you perhaps will not understand anything of it and might turn of the music on the first note!!!). But, if you love music….this is something that will get into you right through :)
Oh btw…there’s lot more to the compilation that just these so-superficially-incomprehensible-words…….!!!!

My foot is twisted again :P

I fell off from the bed today morning (and I have no Idea how that happened!!). My already-once-broken-foot is twited again....aoooowww!!!…it hurts!!!

Relax.....the weekends are meant for it!!!

“Relax”……that was one thing I was missing since quite some time and this weekend gave me an opportunity to relax and unwind.
Saturday work was not as impressive and fruitful…a good bunch of candidates dropped out of the interview schedules (thanks to the rains…). But this did waste a major chunk of my Saturday boo-hoo-hoo.
Evening was a usual trip to Coffee Day, a short hault at a friend’s place (with aroma of bacon filling the air!! Yumm…but I could not eat…I am a strict vegetarian for Saturdays!!!) Reached home early, thought that could be a good surprise for mommy dear (and so it was). Surprise for me too…Dad was cooking one of his experimental dishes :P (incidentally turned out good….and it was full family at dinner after quite long…)
Sunday…the usual get-up-late-laze-on-the-bed-day : ) Sunday’s are brunch days…so we had some good breakfast my sister prepared. Lot of Sunday TV..cartoons, Smash Labs on discovery…some crap music (I call it crap because I did not like it! ) and pooooooof….the power failure. Hit the spa…had some nice aroma therapy done…feels good now (yet my hair is all the same whacky!)
Hmmm..I made a promise to myself…that I’d hit the spa every fortnight now :P

a weird dream..(a nightmare!!)

I woke up today morning…with my heart beating fast and loud…and I was crying….It was this strange dream I head early morning today that really left me exhausted and baffled. (I am a believer of all sorts of occult sciences and have a strong belief on presence of the so called “life beyond our perceived life”)

It was this dream that really pertified me to the core today. In my dream I felt my younger sister missing….(missing as in sense of being dead and not around). The feeling of her absence was so huge that thinking of it…I still shudder! Weird… I was crying (in my dream) and praying and hoping this was not true….Strange as it may sound…I woke up with some sounds (for real sounds from the kitchen)…only to find that what I just saw was only a dream….a nightmare rather….Seeing my younger sister sleep in peace was really relaxing….and tears kept rolling down until I could gather myself again and thank life for being good.

what goes around comes back around ....

"If what goes around, comes back around.
...and we have to be always moving ahead in life...
but since what goes around comes back around...are'nt we actually moving ahead only in a circle ?!
A viscious circle??!!"

hmmm..intriguing reality of life??!

Hindi attempts!!

आज हम कुछ हिन्दी में लिखने का प्रयत्न कर रहे हैं । वैसे अगर आप हिन्दी पढ़ना नही जानते तो यह आपकी समस्या है, हमारी नही।
खैर हम तो गुस्ताखी करने से बाज आयेंगे नही, और न ही हमें कोई परवाह है की कोई पढ़ पा रहा है या नही!!

कोशिश कर रहे हैं कुछ लिखने की....

"दिल की गहरायी से होकर इक रास्ता गुजरता है,
खामोश इन निगाहों में भी मकाम किसीका रहता है,
याद अगर आपको नही हैं हम, कोई गम नही इसका हमें,
जालिमों को भी दिल लगी करने का हक है, हर कतरा लहू का हमारे येही कहता है "

हम्म.... देखने में तो खूब है...!!!

estranged

I remember the time when I could see,
In the mirror a true reflection of me
It seemed, then the clock ticked slow
We cherished every moment …whether sun or snow
I sometimes wonder how things have changed
from our very selves, how we get estranged
the insatiable quest, that drives us mad
to get something we don’t have,
we forget all that we have ever had
In search of engilded treasures, we dig into the ground,
Turn every stone, not stopping,Until we have found
The clock keeps ticking until we are too old,
We look back at time, and realize..What we found was never gold
What went by as numbers was not just age,
The things that are lost are so difficult to gauge
Now when, I see the mirror
Staring back is some stranger,
There are so many questions in those eyes
Questions that ask how….what and why?

Rain...

It’s raining……… : ) yipeeeee!!! [it’s been a dry spell in the city for about a week, with little rainfall)

Sad that I have to be sitting and slogging in office. Boo-hoo-hoo : (

The weather has been pleasant since morning. Had been out to get some money taken out from the bank…and I literally felt like running away to some sweeeeeeeet place …..but then… WORK! Damn! I don’t understand why we work so hard…so hard that we forget to enjoy the little moments of joy. Or even if we try to…we don’t ever have the time..?
Wouldn’t it be beautiful…if one could work from some place, set amidst some lush green nature painted place, a verandah…the rain falling, the skies covered clouds so dense that could be used for kohl…. Wouldn’t it be great to be away from everything, but still be connected to world around you…use the modern technology to be connected (that will not make one feel guilty about missing work or missing out the beauty of nature! ) Even better…give live updates to your friends over Instant messengers of how beautiful the weather is when they sit and slog in office!!! LOLz.

Oucccch!! Getting back to reality…I am stuck in office working (?!) and missing the rain….Heaven save me :)

watzz the Joke!!!

The time seemed to be moving at a snail speed today every time I saw the clock I kept wondering… “huh! That’s all the time passed by since I last saw the clock?!

Either, I worked too much (or did not work at all) today. All said and done, the day has been reasonably rewarding with quite a few accomplishments.

Achievement: I kept my head from blowing off today!! (Not a bad start considering my temper which has been going bonkers lately!)

While wondering what to do, I just came across a couple of good jokes which made me laugh my heart out. Like they say..." one thing leads to the other".... I have just set up a another blog where I will keep posting all the funny quips, jokes, forward emails, funny pix etc that I keep receiving.
They say laughter is the best medicine..and I am building my “first aid blog”. Here’s the link : http://watzzdjoke.blogspot.com/

A few to start with will keep posting more!! Enjoy!!!

its raining....dry crayons!

Dry crayon ....first attempt..not bad..eh?!!!

(well i was trying to make a rain like feel!)

topper bloopers....

Now if I don’t speak out my mind right now…I sure will let the anger build and if it comes out…I don’t know who I would kill (I am already running out of place to hide bodies…I mean the dead ones!)

I love working…working at my own pace and in my own style and I have my own ways of getting things done (and mind you they work! ) because if I wouldn’t, I would not be sitting where I am today…
I know I am intelligent...well may be not as much as those MENSA nerds, but hey! there definitely is something about my work that keeps the clocks ticking?!
(May be I am sounding “a-know-it-all-hyper-over-active-overconfident-creep” but hell! Everyone thinks that way….even if remotely in the back of their head…and in the most subconscious manner! )

I sometimes wonder if people can really be so bugging / irritating or they just pretend to be so?! It’s strange that we always find some top notch idiots sitting on top!
I hate it when people who really don’t know anything about my area of work telling me what’s best to do. I hate that unsubscribed piece of advice (read S**t). Just because one possesses the power to make a final call doesn’t mean that he/she has to exercise it all the time?! (With no logical reasoning?!)

I encourage collaborative thinking and decision making (well not to the extent that nothing gets done…sometimes one just has to put a foot down strong and firm and say a big damned NO!).
I hate being bossed around (ask those who’ve ever tried…and ask my Dad!) I hate being told what to do…! Its like if I have taken on to do something, I sure will finish it in my way. If you want to stand and instruct….Oh well! Leave me alone to myself and if you genuinely want to help, I will more than glad to accommodate (even the silliest of your requests!)
As I often say…“it’s not what you speak…it’s how you speak that matters”. (And those who don’t understand this…well…keep yourself away from me!)

The annual Ritual....Drive Mulshi!!!

Well well well…after a long time I really got a good part of Saturday to myself! Work wound up by mid noon and the weather was pleasant…and nothing better than Mulshi for a pleasant and calm evening, especially when one wants’ to connect with inner self.
It’s almost been a ritual for the last few years (with an exception of last year!) The drive down to Mulshi. About 50 Kms from Pune, could be tiring if you go on bikes…but that’s fun! (Yes It’s nice to have a car, but then you would not enjoy the rain drops throughout the drive!)
The rain brings about the best of this place in its splendid beauty. Surrounded by lush greenery around, a lake (that happens to he the reservoir of the Mulshi Dam). It sure is a place to be.
If you are in love….and don’t know how to express it to your sweetheart/heartthrob, take him/her here and speak you mind .

Think of a heaven..this is it!!! Well quite literally “Café Paradise” is the place you should be heading for.
For me it is more of a place that I feel so connected to myself and so close to nature. Sit and relax (of course I broke my 15 day long Sabbath from Beer!) It was a beautiful evening out there…looking forward to drive again …may be this weekend!

A lot can happen over coffee!!

Now...that's some artist in Cafe coffee day kitchen!!!!

an old photograph....

No no no…I haven’t stopped blogging.
My computer is heavily infected with well you know what….some kind of viruses (only if they were visible bugs I would have squished them…grrrr). Brighter side, the computer not working means I go to bed early and sleep for a good 8 hours : ).
Woke up today with a catch in my left side rendering me almost paralyzed for a few hours (and that of course meant I took a few hours off office today morning). While I was home sorting some old files of mine, I came across something I had long forgotten….some old photographs of mine …shame I have bloated big time since then : ( It was nice to see a face that once looked really so innocent….(now it looks like I am in on an eternal drive to kill. )
How time flies by....was such a free bird then with nothing to worry about...not that I have hell log of worries now...but the tag of being "responsible" (at work.... for heading HR and being the eldest daughter in the family does take a toll in some ways)

Am doing all that I once wanted to do...expecting to be happier than I was then, but the happiness seems to be always a step further. Perhaps to help you be a better person...and to help you understand one thing "love life...aprreciate being alive....its too short to worry and cry!"

ooouch! something just reminded me of the catch ....pain killers anyone??!!!

health check....(God's want me to do it too!!!)

Funny....this is what my horoscope for the day read
"Today in the realm of your health you should put some practices in place that will afford you long-term health. Focus on health maintenance practices like yoga and meditation instead of get-fit-quick schemes like dieting. Your energy level and your sense of well-being will rise steadily over time and you will be much less likely to quit your fitness and healthy eating regimen if you choose a slow and steady path."
.....hmmm!!!!

creative bug bites....!

My creative bug bit me after a loooooooong time today....I know it is'nt impressive :) but folks apreciate the concept !!! :D :D

phew!

Phew!!

That was a long day....and to be honest I am exhausted..and kind of a little too sleepy while I am trying to write. (yawn)
I sometimes wonder if my brain cells are retarted :) they just seem to be taking ages to register information....and sometimes the same brain cells act like psychotics and do things like there's no tommorow :)

[does anyone know of a vaccum cleaning device to clear clutter off your brain...? If you do please let me know where I can find one!]

a few flowers more on the cactus :)

I got up from the wrong side of my bed today (not quite literally!!)
Had planned to take half a day off from work...get some pending things fixed ....go to the doctor, go to the Gym, Go to the dentist, Get a haircut....but then....hehehehe :D I ended up being in office.

Had a few opportunities to play "Katbert" at work...you wont believe it, I have started enjoying being a little too nasty ;)...well...all this comes as a part of my work! But I am not obscenely mean to people ;) I just settle things right...!The way they are expected to be :)

But then there was something playing on my head...i had planned a few things for the day and something had to be done....the only thing that I really wanted to do was go have my hair chopped (well of course not to the extent of "me" being chopped off by mommy dear later!)

Feels good now ( I feel 250 gms lighter!) How nice!!! first step towards healthy weight loss :D..hehe the haircut's done atleast...the doctors and dentists can wait!! I dont need them....

well..another noticeable achievement ....NO booze in the last 7 days!!! and guess what's replacing the usually occuring "beer pangs"....good hot "cafe mocha" at Coffee Day...thanks to the beautiful weather!!! Mmmmmmmmmmuah! :) the rains....

rain drive....!

Now...this weekend was by far one of the best ones that i've had in recent times:). Although I slogged through saturday...the evening was marvellous.

I drove all the way 25 km to one of my favourite places "UP and Above"....the place surely makes sense to the name...though it aint as up as the display board says...the place is sure worth a visit for all those who love rains :)

It was this sudden-out-of-the-blue-wandered-mind-impulse-O-mine. I was at a Coffee Day near office when it started drizzling...sippin Darjeeling tea....wow! Heaven :) But considering the fact that I had time, I love rains, I have a bike that's reasonably loyal(does'nt breakdown at odd times) and ofcourse a good old windcheater...just in case the rain gets too harsh...and a helmet...there's nothing that can stop me :) from venturing out!

So I kicked off and went cutting through the mad traffic of the city....all this while the rain kept on falling as if speaking my mind. By the time I reached Up and above..i was drenched, but what a lovely drive...worth it. Sitting atop on the terrace at Up & above, hot soup and some nice paneer pakodas.....yumm yumm...you could see the half the city...the evening lights starting to glimmer slowly, rain subsiding and mad rush of traffic on the roads changing into beautiful specks of red and yellows...wonderful!!!

Well was'nt too long before I started my journey back....(you bet after getting drenched and almost drying....and venturing out again was good enough to send shivers down my spine...!!ggggritting my teeth...but hell! what a wonderful time I had!!!)

....ah ah ah...I was'nt alone :) I had company of one of my closest pals! Thank you dost :)

I need a break!!!

Something is just not right with me today (I know that’s nothing new with me!). The day today, seems to be passing really slow…time has stretched itself way too much. My body is exhausted like I am just thrown out of the kick boxing ring like a sad contestant who did not know the tricks of the trade. My energy levels today have hit the lowest of all in the recent times.
I am not sad per se, but it’s that ill feeling that I am getting, which I don’t like…like something is going to go wrong somewhere and perhaps I am not even aware or haven’t even contemplated that it could go wrong. May be because work has been to stressful lately and things seem to be cramming up for no rhyme or reason. No matter what I am trying to do cheer myself up it’s not helping. Perhaps because it been really long that I spent some time alone…all to myself (I don’t really remember when was the last time that I really did that…guess it was in June, last year, when I was at coorg, what a lovely getaway that was…)
How I wish that I get a really good break (a damn good break from work and everything else that seems to bother me!). Just want to shut my brain off. I feel like going for a nice holiday, amidst some lush green place, a lake a cottage to myself and rain …… I would love to let rain soak me through my soul…wash off the impacts of the recent events that have taken place.
I’ve actually dragged myself through the day.
All I can think of now is……..UNWIND!!!!

damn! Damn! damn!!!

Thank you life!

I got up late (again!!) I sometimes dont understand why on the earth, i do not get sleep at night (quite pertinent, from the time that i post my blogs!) And morning getting out of the bed is much more difficult than toughest thing on this earth :(
But I blame it on the sedentary lifestyle we live...everything right from the food we eat, to the way we do and anything and everything in life....(hell! I am not cribbing, just trying to rub in that there are a few things we need to watch out as well, inspite of all the goodness!!)
Work...work...work...and more work....(ok ok...I know it aint as bad....but it does leave me exhausted at the end of the day).
But two things in today's day....were like those lil lovely flowers on the cactus....
First: A cell phone beep, a text message, "baby needs A-ve blood, pass on the msg to who ever you can.." . Those who really cared, shared the msg with everyone they knew!!![wonderful! I am sure someone surely might have been able to save this little life by giving a tiny bit of blood!...Thank you modern technology...thankyou cellular communication]

Second: I have been missing my dear friend (my childhood friend); now married and a proud mum to be (God bless her!)...caught me online after sooooooooooooo long....we caught up online chatted like we were sitting across the table like good old times....a lil leg pulling, a lil jokes...and then back to work. [well as a matter of fact, she's in London....and I am in pune, i wonder if we did not have modern communication available...i would be just thinking about her.!]

Inspite of the crazyness around work...a few lil things that make you feel "good" about life :)

...hate being in this profession!

Scrambled.............................I am just out of my wits today.I hate it so much!!!

Reality ?

Well well, I know lately I have been sounding either too philosophical or sometimes so downright depressed that if a dead man could read my blog even he would prefer to die rather than read what I write....LOLz (I know if you are reading this you might be wondering if I am out of my wits)
I am trying to rearrange my mind that keeps wandering ....it jumps, skips, gallops a thousand miles...roams around the world even before you could say the word "think" aloud ...its not only my mind that has this capability....everyone's mind has this superpower....of being where you are actually not!. Strange..?! Think again.....
We talk of being "physically present and being mentally absent".....how about giving "Mentally present and physically absent" a thought. Sounds creepy eh?
Something out of occult scriptures? Paganistic.....or even sci-fi like ?

I was once reading something that intrigued my mind (to an extent that I even believe it!!) ...Ever wonder how you move from your world (reality) to a world of sleep...oblivious to what you believe and perceive is true? and as you go deep into your sleep, this "perceived real world" is left far behind....and you enter something known as "dreams" (unreal?!) to us. But is'nt it for that very time while we travel in this so called "unreal" world becomes real? You live in it, experiencing everything that you experience in the so called "real" world ?
Confusing as it sounds....think about it again....the return from the dreamworld to the real world too is so mythically strange!
How do we know what of these is real? What we believe is just what we were told to.....because we were told to believe it.....Can we dare to challenge this reality ?!!!

Oh by the way...I am listening to "voice of enigma".... :D
LOLz....!!!! (Nah I am not yet possessed!)

Rise again Phoenix

Of course there are days when one feels much light hearted than other days, Inspite of the events of the earlier day(s) and then there are other days that make you feel much bluer as well. And well there are times that you really can’t make out if you ought to be sad or merry…for things at hand the situations that face you look deeply grim at the onset, but you know they will result in a creation of something better…not immediate, but definitely lead to something constructive.
A very good friend of mine taught me “actions speak louder than words” and that… “all actions have consequences”. I see it today. Some of my actions and some words in the past seemed to be intended to build something….but an ultimate impact was…in the long run sheer destruction! It is not always that being good to someone helps always…instead it could lead to creation of something that you might despise one day.
It helps to be tough…at times it could break the person momentarily leave him/her to start feeling worthless and in a lower self-esteem and even lead to resentment against someone who’s been tough on them. All for a good cause….
There’s a phoenix like energy in every being…every living being who wishes to live and hopes to be better….if you really love being alive and respect the fact that you have something that is most precious, you will one day rise again from your own ashes…and flare and blaze so bright that it will leave you in awe with the thought that you have the energy in you that you never saw!
Life is a rollercoaster…and takes you through hell before you die….but its up to you to see where your stand…what you want to be….
I am a phoenix…are you?

In pursuit of Peace

Of all my fears the one that has been worrying me the most , and has been bothering me…eating me, inch after inch…sucking the very life out of me like a leech, came true today. I was scared and always felt that I am not prepared to face the fear in anyway…there was a point in my life that I would have chosen death over facing this fear of mine.
The fear came face to face with me…right here in front of me, and I faced it. How I dealt with it is different story, but seeing it happen was far more gruesome than I thought it to be…anger, rage, volatility, violence, fear, tears sadness…resentment all at once, dead on face to face.
I wonder why I did not face it earlier, it would have saved many lives, it would have not jeopardized the very existence of some…it would have not perplexed the situation of the life that I am living and of those around me…
Nonetheless, I still have a long time, before I really see peace in its full form…. Or will I ever see Peace?

Ruthless.....

My limbs seem to have stopped obeying me. A feeling so heavy that perhaps lead would be lighter to carry than carrying myself…and a ruthless heart, a tainted soul, a scrambled mind all within me. I feel I am dragging myself, every step... is becoming increasingly difficult to put forth, breath seems to have tuned into a noxious matter that perhaps will kill all that comes in my way.
I am fed up with the way I have been dealing with life, more so infuriated with the way people tell me how to live my life!
I want to break free of this anger and rage that keeps me bound with myself…It’s just like being wrapped in a card board box that has used barbed wires to keep the contents safe, it does protect from the outside, but inside the sharp edges go deep within cutting through the cardboard, hurting what lies inside…a soul that bleeds and wails to be set free…..

maddy........

weeeeeeeeeekend.... :D
well..my sincere apologies if my words and phrases dont make sense in this post..i am a little tooo drunk :P
or may be I am going mad :P..so dont want to be blabbering not-so-sensible contents today :P

on a day like today

The morning sky was beautiful today....perfectly sunny, bright blue skies with some pure white cotton candy like specs of clouds scattered around.
Last two days of rains washed away dust off everything around...making everything look cleaner, brighter and yes...greener :)
The day ahead looked to be pleasant...I was glee and looking forward to a great day at work too! But as the day passed ahead, something that I still cannot put my finger on started bothering me...the jitteriness, the irritability...I just wanted to go thrash someone!!! [No no..it ain't the PMS]. Perhaps it's the lack of sleep ....or may be some unknown incomprehensible subconcious information processing activity taking place in my brain.
It just seemed like the heavens were imitating me...the clear skies were getting filled with some dark clouds...no thunder..but a stillness in the air taking over...although the temperatures dropped down and it was not as humid...the pleasing feel seemed to have dissappeared....some kind of anger..some kind of rage taking over......its just incomprehensible atleast so far....

While i still try make sense of what's been bothering me throughout the day.....there's a song that's playing in my head..."nothing else matters.....metallica and symphony"

Bikes's back...and so is the rain :)

So I finally got my bike working...had lost keys a couple of days ago.... :P .
I was all happy that I don't have to depend anymore on the those tiny lil three wheeled yellow-black monsters. But as they say...things seldom go the way you plan'em to go.

I got out of my house went to the parking... turned on the ignition key and tried to start...once, twice, thrice......damn! the Bike would'nt budge....since it din't repond..I started kicking it ..(hehe) literally..Kickstarting it...Guess my bike missed me a lot all these days ...it kicked me back!!!! LOLz
Phew!!! This bike has gone really crazy ....well so it did start a few attempts later

...another halt at the fuel station (the fuel crisis is'nt over yet). Yesterday's rain was good yesterday, but morning sun was too harsh,to top it up humid.So I was kinda sweating my brain out under the helmet...waiting to refuel (getting furious at some people who jumped queues and were literally hoarding fuel!!! ...........morons!!!).
Saving: My sweet lil ipod...atleast I dont hear the noise around...just plain damn good music... Pink Floyd it was...the ride to office felt pleasant ....the rain drenched vegetation, and slightly mucky roads...the begining of monsoon...

Work today was just about normal...except for one thing...I cleant up my desk and the cubicle storage...just to make space for more stuff :) It rained today too.....the weather's turning pleasant by the day...i hope the rains are'nt harsh this year. Evening...was kinda a quiet time at Coffee day. ...Aaah this weather...its so sooothing...!

Dreamz unlimited

....its almost 2:00 am..i am still awake.doing what..tyring to search some template websites to take an inspiration from...for my website.
And see how my crazy mind works....while i was looking for templates, i kept wondering...how I wish i could design my own site....(not that I cannot...the only difference is I can draw on paper...technically i am atleast 40 below Zero!)
Speaking of it.... it does'nt seem to be a bad idea either ...perhaps i can enroll myself for some training classes that can help me understand on how to go about making websites. (may be I can make some extra money...from web-designing....ok ok..i know too far fetched a leap! :) )
It's strange how we start thinking of one thing...go to the other...and the next and the next...realising there are so many things that we want to do....and we have so less time.
An intriguing question....how we have the drive to live and to dream....when sometimes things just seem to fall apart....we still live. When dreams fall apart...we still dream...what takes us through is only one thing....our belief in our dreams and ourselves...is'nt it ?
Life's short...make the best of it...every moment.

Man!!! too good....I've perked up myself with this pep stuff. So what if I ain't a techie...I can surely attempt my hands on web design...Or can I ?!

season change...

The dark clouds take over the blue sky,
concealing the shining sunthe dust starts rising,blurring the horizon
A sudden stillness, sets uponfar beyond your vision,
something stirs a light tears the heart of the skies,
a thunderclap, and then the voices die....a stillness ....a silence
The darkness deepens,the dust rises high...
withered leaves, that once were green,try to reach the heavens for one last time
tattered, they are but try to rise...a stillness...a silence....
a nostalgic fragrence, engulfs the air,heralding the arrival , that'll end despair....

first rain..................!!!

drenched...as water drips from my hair....I am sitting in my office chair....after enjoying some time out in the thunder shower...
as i write this...i can still hear the cloud thunder....the weather changed to a pleasant one from what it was in the noon.....
People are telling me...you'd get sick....hell...its this small joy that reminds me of my childhood...getting wet in the rain....see droplets of water straight from heaven....right on to you..
I despise those who stand aside under cover and do not enjoy the first rain......

what a relief :) THe monsoooooooooons are finally here!!!
(gotta get back to work.....and may be a nice cup of garam chai and perhaps some bhajias )

issues issues issues

Today's day...was like a normal monday.
Started off where i left it at the weekend. I had a few pending tasks to finish...some dirty jobs to do.
Yeah yeah... I am in HR...lot of things that I need to do are considered dirty by most of the those who are'nt on this side of the table.
Appraisals(yeah those tiny lil wage increements you folks get after slogging for loooooooong time) salaries(yeah...some of those peanuts that you get at the end of the month!!)
Issuess....(yeah those save-our-life-things for you...and what-the-f***-things for us!!)

I got particularly perked up by this some-wizzard-of-morons-from-nowhere....on an issue being discussed on one of the HR forums I am a member of. Some weirdos...I wonder who ever made them Human resources professionals!But it was nice kinda putting up a fight for a fellow human being.(and it feels nice when people support you!)..none the less..with my posts on the forum I m sure i have triggered a thing that's no less than a cultural controversy...But Hell!!Its a free country with freedom of thought and speech.

Whiles these so called controversial issues kept me occupied through the evening...i actually lost track of time trying to fix some lose ends...:)
By the time i left office it was late....but I kinda had some time so decided to hit my fav cave "Toons the cafe down under"...I initially decided NO BEER today...but hell the place it is...the music gets the pulse outta you.
.....had to leave in less than an hours time after gulping about 2 mugs..a few of my fav tracks.

IPL ..final show down

While I sit here trying to catch some breath after today's loooooooooong day...
IPL final match is being played at Mumbai.
I am not watching TV, but am getting updates on the match between the Rajasthan Royals lead by Shane Warne and Chennai Super Kings lead by our very own MS Dhoni.
.....The match seems to have given enough people enough topple-from-the-edge-of-the-seat moments, while some others must've bitten off the nails to the bone :)

With each tense moment, the ball keeps rolling ..from here to there.....indicating nothing clear of which team will win...and then the final moment....Rajasthan Royals win!!!! Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee. (of those who were supporting the Chennai super Kings....my sympathies!)
Some fire works around..some people cheering...!!!
Actually..I sympathize more with the players from SRK's,Priti's and Mallaya's team.... !

Nonetheless, the series were entertaining atleast for those who really admire the cricket. It was for me :)
(yawn) (yawn)...time to sleep.Hope I'll have something better to do tommorow :)
