Answer to the Picture

Given a toy to a kid, new experiments will be done on it….

like that I had that night in my hand,

a camera and a wish to experiment something with it…..

My Journey started with-

Camera – to take pictures…of course I cannot cook using it…..

Clicked Object – anything which is beautiful or else something my cam could make striking and good looking.

Search for object – for sure there was nothing interesting inside home…so stepped out…(every nature lover would do that) . Sad part my experiment started at night…moreover no hi-tech cam…just the will to research … and there I found an object…that body was good ….. but clicking that would not have been interesting…infact trying something else would have been fun and amusing…tried capturing it in different modes but nothing paid me….

But try try try until you cry - one mode helped me out of several modes….but again not up to my expectations. Had to put in more thoughts…and I decided to move my camera in a circular motion…..and there was this image which I think was different and could make many brains scratch their head….(I think it made you all do that)…..

I am glad to get so many varied answers .. and glad that three of them have answered it correctly…..and they deserve an applause…Good Boys…

Names are – Harshad, Abhay and Nipun(the late comer)……..nice guess men…

In this course of getting answers, I got to know that people are very much aware of photography…(may be they are professionals or they are interested in such field)…and also got acquainted with the term of light painting. Thanks to Kshitij for that….it must be interesting doing the same….

Many bloggers found it to be a led bulb, but it’s not that too .. its not a neon light, not a cracker, nt an ulta ‘e’and not even a fluorescent toy…….

It is a thing which doesn’t have light of it's own but gets light from the another…..if you enlarge the pic you would also see one more pic to its left…a thin curved line … I have not used any special camera, no telephoto lens(I haven’t seen that too) and no flash is used here.

The object is a Moon and another one is star.

The only thing I did was, focusing the moving camera on the object keeping the night mode on (isn’t it sounding too easy) try this yourself. The thin line is of a star which was next to the moon

Few more pictures of it I am uploading here.

Below is the picture of moon with its original shape...and to the left is small star...:)

PS – I got very high level answers from those who are into the field of photography. Guys this post was just posted for fun and a wish to share the pic of an uncommon shape of a moon with you all. It was not a test or so……

PPS – thanks to everyone for guessing

GUESS

Hey everyone.....clicked this picture... check it out and GUESS what is it???

Chamatkaar/Shraddha Vs Science......

“Chamatkaar” - News 1 – “Jwala Devi prakat hui Anoopshahar mein”…. My MIL called me to watch this news when she heard it on Television. She was too excited to show me this “Chamatkaar”. The news informed that, fire is blazing from 9 different parts, near the river Ganga in Anoopshahar. One could even notice the bubbles coming within the river. The coincidence is that this incident has been taking place since the day Navratri started and only 9 `places have got fire. The reason of this occurrence is unknown to all. People believe that this is the chamatkar of Jwala Devi. The saints are going extreme with this kind of natural chemical phenomenon, naming it as a Devi’s magic.

Q1. How many of you believe that this is the Chamatkaar?
Q2. How many have the curiosity to know the reason? (Like I have)
Q3. Can you provide the logic for this?
Q4. How will you rate the education of our society?

Chamatkaar” - News 2 – Case of Itarsi – People are sticking coins in this temple. It is believed that if anyone’s coin gets stuck on the walls, then ones wishes would be accepted. And if it doesn’t then your wishes will be deprived. The specialists say that it is due to the stickiness of the wall that the coins are getting pasted. But the people have closed eyes, blindly go on sticking the rupee One coin.

Q1. Is/n’t this called “andhi Shraddha”?
Q2. Such incidents make them follow the ritual. Why one is not interested to know the right scene?

Astha Ya Pagalpan - News 2 – (i) A girl of fifteen years old. Her palm is acting like a Diya. Since five days she has been holding the burning wick in her hands and constantly stimulating it with Ghee. She says this is the Diya of Devi Maa, And she will never let it blow off for the whole 9 days. Last year too she did the same for 9 days. People say she is blessed by the Mata.

(ii) One man has grown jowar on his whole body. I saw this man sleeping in a Temple. And all over his body the grown up jowar plants could be seen. This man neither eats nor drinks for the whole 9 days.

Q1. Are/n’t they crazy?
Q2. Do you believe in such Bhakti?
Q3. In first case, If she thinks it was Devi’s Diya, then why was she providing Ghee to it?…(devi ka diya waise bhi jalta hi)
Q4. What is the purpose?

PS – I am not offending any ones religious sentiments…..just beg them to find out answers rather than just blindly following the convention.
And hey would also like to know …what you guys would like to add on ..and how you react to all these…..

Happy Navrtra….

Heaven !!

Isnt it Marvelous...? Nothing less than Heaven.....i got this pic while searching for the wall textures...and found an amzing peice....instantly showed it to hubby.....and hey look at the background.....i just loved it...:))

Question?

Questions do come in my mind usually.............this time again...I pass on this question to you all...a very simple question.

Yesterday it popped up in my mind and I got confused...coz till now what I had learnt and yesterday what I experienced was quite different ----

The word "Sanskaar" came to my mind.....I ask you all -

1. What is meant by the above word?

2. How many features does it comprises?

3. Which is the most significant point in it?

4. Any missing point - does it mean Non - Sanskari? or else who can be called that?

If you want to state any of the live examples...kindly do that..it would be helpful for me to understand it more..

hope to get nice answers on it .....so start scratching your head and provide some understandable answers :)

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ganpati Bappa Morya................

I wish all my freinds, all my blog mates A Happy and Blissful Ganesh Chaturthi......

May Lord Ganesha bring joy in your life....:)

Name Me!!!!

I can’t write, I can’t think, I am not getting any topic to write on, but still today I want to write…I want to just flush the thoughts or the events happened in these days with me and my family on to this white e-page……………….

Earlier we used to have diaries which were secretly kept inside our drawers, locked and keys buried at a top secret place too. I too was once bitten by this secret diary obsession…but I got so pissed off that one day I gave it to my cousins to read…My secrets were no more secrets that time….they read it with full pleasure…..it contained my daily routine, my fights, on my school friends etc…..i don’t think there was anything interesting…….but I m sure that it was much closer to me ……as it contained each and every conversation between me and others……my thoughts …my cries…. my happiness and my justification on issues which I couldn’t give at that point of time…

This blog too assembles my thoughts and so on…..but I rarely put my daily activities here……I mean guys I don’t want to bore you……..what a common woman does? Who is interested in that right? Hai na…………….but wait……haannnn…today this post I am writing for self……Myself………I want to recollect all the actions occured this month….

On 6th Aug, I became three years old mother…..Neil gave me immense happiness by coming in this tough world…where I thought – yeah I have got one more partner for whom I have to live and play…….
August not only one Leo was born but also my in-laws…my uncle in-law, and my brother in-law and sis in-law were also born…. So on 6th Aug…the whole big family went to the hotel to celebrate this Leon’s Birthday party….had fun…..

13th Aug was Bouquet Competition day in our school…..and on this day every student is required to bring a hand made bunch/bouquet. And yes Neil got the first prize…….nice…..

15th Independence Day------------was celebrated in school with National Anthem, Flag Hoisting and patriotic songs….students were given chocolates, sweets and National Flag…Our Principal gave a speech on this proud day….. (I dont have the pic right now..but soon I will upload it here)

16th Aug and till now have been the days of illness and medicines…..yesterday Neil was diagnosed with symptoms of Malaria….and the doctor says nothing to worry as its not acute….
I am also down with little temperature, cough and cold…..My husband is also feeling sick……I hope this virus is eradicated permanently….
(God, can we not have a shield, or microscopic eyes…to see this enemy moving towards us…we would instantly guard ourselves ,…….next coming generation would be like this…..I hope so….not only techno.,…but biolo too,,, Do I make sense? Don’t know :) )
Above are the Neil;s Footprints......which i loved clicking...:)

Hmmmm…now that I have finished telling my journal ....I wish to ask few questions now…..(hihihihi)
Q1. When was Neil’s birthday?

Stupid question no……leave it..this is my end……of writing for this post….don’t understand what title to give,,,,now again I stop here..:)

Anyways you all take care….and Be Happy

Chhote Muh..Badi baat

Teaching Neil is not an easy task. It takes about 1 hr to make him sit steady and complete his Home Work with his pencil (which gradually goes into his mouth, and every time I have to take it out). And if my luck is strong, he lifts his pencil and keeps on his copy (I thank god…for the first step of my kid towards completing his work). Now suppose he has to write ‘A’. He makes one slanting line, and looks at me, with a smile (as if he has won some battle). Then I again have to push him sometimes with love, sometimes with bribe, sometimes by telling him stories, sometimes acting like joker and at the end if nothing works, I use my ‘Brahmastra’ i.e. my ANGER. And my kid mellows down before my third eye gets opened. Time files in all this process.

To make him study voluntarily, I have to do various tricks. The best one is my Story Trick.

Episode ONE - The story of ‘Ek Bhikari” – A Beggar. Few months before I was purchasing mangoes from the shop. There came one lean, little boy with dirty and torn clothes. He begged money from me. Neil sitting in the car was watching the whole event. Soon as I sat inside, he asked me the question, “Aai, Who was he? What was he asking for?” I told him he was beggar. Next question that popped up was – “what is a beggar, aai?” I replied, “Beggar is a person who doesn’t study. And he finds no work to earn for his food. Hence he has to beg for money from others.” I also added, “jo koi padhai nahi karta wooh bhikari banta hai, isilye tumhe padhna chahiye.”(Those who don’t study become a bhikari hence you should study). He nodded his head quiet positively confirming that he will never cry while studying.

Episode TWO – Yesterday I again sat with him for his studies. But as expected he was reluctant. I again started my above story. And asked him the moral of the story. (Now read carefully) “ Aai, jo koi padhta hai wooh bhikari ho jata hai”(one who studies becomes a beggar). I could only laugh at this statement of his. One missing word changed the whole meaning of the story.

The realistic punch – the Moral which I got was - Expenditure on education, today, is so high that one turns into a beggar.

(One step ahead - He wants to drive every vehicle he sees on the road, including the JCB. Roght now he has to convince himself with an auto-rickshaw)

Tag!!!

TAG time............This Tag was passed on to me by Raj & Tavish....Me required to list seven things about me which I think or may be in real, my fellow readers don't know about me...
Its very hard for me to think about the list of the unknowns to all you guys….as I m not in the state of writing these days…call it any BLOCK….but still I would like to come out of this net and will try to list out seven things regarding me…

1) I am a mixed creature….neither shy nor extrovert…..first meeting- I will be less talkative…..few more, you can find me over extrovert…I have an adaptable nature…can find myself comfortable in every situation…I show my emotions to very close ones…rest can find me cold….I don’t regard any situation to be tough…I have a cool mind…but I get upset when others get depressed…

2) I love to find beauty in nature…children….talks…deeds…In my child hood days…I used to sing songs in the garden…and those songs used to be of my own imagination….using the words like ‘titli, akash, phool, etc…..

3) I still have that singing attitude in me….I am not a singer….but I love to sing….but while writing this one question popped in my mind…that I sing everywhere except bathroom…..believe me I am a bathroom singer…..but I have never tried my talent there….hmm will think on that…

4) I am a thinker….my sir used to say ..Rohini ..you have beautiful imagination…I don’t know what they meant still…..but yes I have a thinking mind…always finding a topic to think on…...if I am at the right place, I can be creative..,,,,otherwise dull…..I don’t like pressure….A free position I always aim for.

5) I love traveling…..I am always ready to hop at any corner of the world…I get too excited even with a single thought of outing comes in anyone’s mind….My minds starts making plans ..like dress, food, shopping and many more…and yes I like staying in the company...but for atleast one hour od privacy I need....

6)I love taking pictures…..If I have camera in my hand …I take any sort of pics…..even with the Mobile…and my husband (bechara) keeps on deleting the objectionable/uninteresting pics…but hey I don’t click bad ones…though not the professional one.

7) My hands always work….if I get anything in my hand…that thing is definitely in trouble/it has to be kept in motion.…during school days……while listening the lecture ….I used to write my name or draw pictures with pen/pencil ..…if I would catch eraser…..then I used to grind it or bend till the end..….I too have the habit of rolling the paper with my fingers all the time…though with time these things have reduced…

Hmm…over with the seven things…..Guys let me tell you…I was very unsure, on the tag…the prob was I had done something like this before too......there I had mentioned many points…so I had to bring out more from within….which shouldn’t have had matched at all with the previous ones…For this tag I asked few of my close ones…let me tell you what they felt….

Mother – Always ready to help, nice at heart, good imagination, easy go getter, stubborn, no tit for tat attitude, doesn’t like interference of any sort in my activities….

Father – maintaining PR, always communicate with the people, does what she want to…....although takes advices from others…

Brother – (now this is interesting) Over emotional, have extra sense but no common sense J , cant stand violence..but is violent (thnx Bro for showing my dark face..)

Husband – he say…I m simple and subtle….and yes nautanki tooo….its contradictory too…but as the first point says… ..I am a mixture…Bhel puri …khatii mithi…

Ufff….I have listed many points…not abiding with the fact that I had to mention only seven…whatever came in mind…...just listed….the tag helped me to know more of myself…..thnx to both, Tavish and Raj…for telling others, one requires to know about it…self scrutiny….

Now the main part...I pass this Tag to Jack Sir, BS, Nu, Nipun, Gaurav & Karan
Complete the tag when feel like....

Trip to Kullu Manali

Heeelloooo 2 all….how are you?

I am back from a very COOL trip…and now trying to adjust in this hot weather of Chattisgarh…it’s very very very HOT….no thnx to Global Warming but thnx to the beautiful places in the world...who help us in enjoying the wonderful nature.

I Love the Sun beam

Every day I sat with my Laptop to write and share my wonderful trip with you all ..but couldn’t write….You can call me lazy in that…but today I have decided I will share it…So the trip goes like this…..
We started our journey from Delhi and headed towards Manali by Volvo….I was little hesitant about Neil’s health that whether he would feel comfortable during the whole journey of 18 hrs? But he is my baby…he was so sweet all through our trip…..thank you kid…umhaa…

31st May: We stayed in Sterling Hotel…as we are its members……the room was great…could see nice hilltop from the window.

View from Our hotel room's window

That day we decided to stay in the hotel and relax…one thing which was nice in Sterling, that every night there were some games held in the garden area, which was a nice entertainment for the guests. That night there was a Magic show along with the games.

1st June – Woke up late at 9 am. Enjoyed the hot Aloo Parathas in the small eating joint. The first day tour included Naggar Castle, Castle of the King, now turned into hotel; Roerich Art Gallery and Museum(Roerich was the artist of Russia married to Devika Rani; our old bollywood actress).

One made Taj Mahal for his wife and the another, her Portrait, made by Roerich

We visited many places but still missed something…think what? We were in hilly area…how could we miss a waterfall?? So the driver took us to a beautiful fall. Check the pic down here. Enjoying the fall
Below the mountain being covered by heave dense cloud. It was such a amazing view.

Shadow of Cloud over Mountain, Beautiful, Isnt it?

2nd June – Ah!!! This was the crucial day..why? As it was coz of this day, we all three were out on holidays…It was our Marriage Aniversary…. Yes….:-)
This day we had to climb Rohtang Pass…by taxi Ofcourse…..!! we woke up at 4 am in the morning and left the hotel by 5 am. The road was not that good. It can be scary too for few…but definitely not for me….(atleast this time, as I had seen much scary roads and climate in Sikkim…driving on the hills is exciting but one has to be very careful)
Reaching at the top was too awesome….all the tiredness of sitting inactive in the car paid off when stepped out of the car….Snow everywhere…………..WOW!!!!

The weather was great….helped us to explore more there…..Neil got excited after seeing the white colour of snow….I saw heaps of people playing in it…..enjoying themselves totally, unreservedly. We too threw balls of snow at each other….saw it in films….and did it in real…:-)….

Playing with snow

I had visited RP when I was in 5th std in 1992…..and I remember visiting this palace, wearing a knee length frock and bare chappals. I saw a wide change in every aspect. The road became less dangerous….there were numerous shops in the way, of the coats, wollens, small eating joints……At the peak point too I could see lots of things to munch, like hot bhutta (corn which we enjoyed immensely in that freezing weather), Tea, Maggie, aloo paratha, sandwiches …..and so on….. Enjoying CornCrowded

But the place was little crowded so decided to go to Zero Point….but with Neil it would have been too exhausting to climb. So started searching for the options. One option was by horse..but Neil was too scared to sit on it….second was by carriage which was pushed by two or three people….but I felt sympathy for all those…the last one was a Snow Bike…remember seeing it in Fanaa movie…it looked so Smart..but these smart things doesn’t come to you easily…it was quite an expensive affair….but we went there to experience and enjoy so why not this smarty thing…so here went…. took a motor Bike (BLACK - very stylish one) and reached the point within seconds….(the seconds ride was too thrilling)…..

COOOOLLLL!!!

At the Zero Point, the snow was much dirt free and white….RP is a Must Visit….

Holding Cloud ?

On the way

3rd June: Morning commenced with the hot cup of coffee…but with no mountain view from our window…..the heavy clouds embraced it…..we could see rain approaching our area swiftly….That was our last day in Manali…..

Cloudy Weather

But before leaving we wished to visit Manikaran and Hadimba Temple….
Hadimba temple was beautiful….lots of school children had come on the tour…The temple with lots of sky touching trees….reminded me of Saudagar movie

Hadimba Temple

…we spent our time sitting on one swing imagining that this would be the best place for the youngsters to date….singing romantic songs amidst the trees…… “akele hai toh kya gum hai…bas ek jara saath ho tera”……Tall Trees Sneak Peek through Leaves
Next was a Club House but seeing the traffic we dint wish to enter inside its campus…rather we spent time sitting on the rocks beside the river Vyaas…I was very much eager to do river crossing but there was a time limit…we had very less time in our hands …so skipped the idea of seeing hot springs….koi nahi….next time sahi….

Hey forgot to tell you all, I also did Paragliding, while returning from RP…..it was crazy, thrilling, wonderful experience…I always wished to do it…..and this time I did it ….intially I was very afraid but at the same time confident too…but thankfully the take off and landing both were done nicely…..the wind pressure was awesome…..too chilly up in the sky… …I was having an eye of eagle…everything was seeming so small…. WOW I still feel it…….
Thrill
Kullu Manali was an astounding place to spend one’s vacation…..Running from the Hot climate visit beautiful Himachal Pradesh….
Valley

PS – I started writing this post on 9th June and finished it today……9th was too hot and today its pleasant…..I assume the Manali’s Post affected the climate here in real……

Parting For Few Days......

.......................Vacation time...............Temperature rising...so leaving for Kullu Manali tomorrow.....would not be able to follow / read any of the blogs......will miss your writings...:-(

....................... but rarely do we get the time of spending the time in the midst of hills and river...so anxiously waiting this break......

......................Will be back with the details of my journey....:-)...till then You All Enjoy Blogging...:-)...........

HMmmm.....Now I need to have something sweet, watermelon will be good.:-)

One person remains unchanged!!!

Today’s day reminds me of the day when I became a Mother. Natural pains started at about 4 in the morning, was taken to the hospital at 9.30 am…… all the process went in vain when Dr advised for the Cesar. Soon as I was shifted to O.T. Here in OT I felt quite safe coz I knew no more pains would be borne by me now.

At 2.09 pm I delivered a baby boy. I dint care what was his gender but the first thought came was Ah! I m relaxed and free now. The next moment I saw him. “WoW!!! I have a cute little baby” I was a mother then. The bestest feeling…Alas Men are devoid of such feeling.

Everyone outside the O.T. was so much anxious to know the result. As soon as the Dr came outside every one asked her, “How is the Baby?” “Is he a boy or a girl?” “Whom he looks like?” and similar questions like any one would ask.

But there was the only person whose first question was, “How is the mother?”














It was my AAI (mother)….....



PS-the nurse came to me and told all this. She said she could recognize instantly who my mother was, when she heard this question…..:-)



FEW PICS SHARED: the bond of child and mother should remain always..........(A wish to GOD)

At the end their is a famous line in Marathi......and has got a lot of meaning ----

"Bala Hoyu kashi me utarayi, Tujhya mule me Jhale aai"

Meaning - Child how would I pay back the debt to you, because of you I have become a mother

ANSWER - IS this A Man's World?

Few days before I asked you all a question, “Is this a Man’s world?”

The question comes to me many times.

Basanti, my maid, married a man of her choice, but soon her husband left her for another woman, cheat fully acquiring her property and transferring it to the other lady. Basanti was left alone; she was neither accepted by her family nor by her in-laws. And the real man behind this all, was having fun, with the new woman and the property. Society dint wish to raise any questions against him. But definitely looked at our maid with dubious, and hateful eyes……………This is my first question……Y is a woman treated like this, when her husband leaves her?

There are three girls living in my neighborhood. One of them got married few months before. All the sisters have pleasing personalities, having knowledge in every household activity, in stitching, knitting, etc (all those basic girly things. which are commonly asked at the time of marriage). I have invited them many times at my home, but they never turn up. They say they are afraid of their brother. He doesn’t like his sisters to step out of home. I m not blaming the brother, but I question the mentality. Whether he is afraid of the outside world? Or he just wants to make a point that he, as a man should be always asked before any move of his family members.

I am not planning a second baby right now, but if by chance it happens I wish to have a girl…don’t assume I have a boy so I am saying this…but yes by my all will, I would like to have a girl…… There are many friends of mine who are doing various therapies to have a male child…. They follow Chinese calendar, follow diet chart… follow some kinda Guruji who give them the various kind of dates on which they should plan…and what not….The only purpose is to have a boy. All my friends come from educated, well to do family but crave for a male member still remains in the society. The elder’s pressure is the most common factor. The reason being just one….. ‘Vansh ka naam’ …who will continue their name after their death?? Is it a good reason?…I doubt…but I know the result of this…..Female infanticide!!! Shameful……….

Society-people-are no less than a Ravan for girls these days. If a girl comes late in the home they all worry; they say it’s not good for a girl to stay out at odd times. If we see the other side of the coin, the society must understand that rather than restricting a girl they should create such environment and such space that a girl should roam freely. A boy must be imparted education on this. If a woman is supposed to take care of home, then a man should be held responsible outside home. A girl should feel safe when she moves out. But the opposite happens, people restrict her and again the vicious circle of unsafe world exists. Isn’t it??

Few days before I saw an Ad on TV where a girl comes for an interview in an office, and the man sitting, gets up and walks out of the office….the punch line says- ‘life ka har signal pakdo’…..What does this mean? Can’t a girl get the job on her strengths?….Y should we always believe that she is only credited on her looks…..? ? Is it not underestimating her capabilities? Or else compelling her to go beyond the ethics? Y?

Even if we make our heart believe that it’s a world of equality….the truth remains the same……. And truth is bitter…………….

PS - Guys – But it will not be the same forever………………..

What It Took To Be An Anarkali...??

Theme Party : Salim - Anarkali Date : 15 April 2010

I got an invitation few days before on a theme party. I had to dress up like Anarkali, and my husband had to be Salim….listening this, I was quite confused as I had never attended any such party before…but liked the concept…
Today I will list all the necessities of Anarkali......What took me to be an Anarkali…?...

Can you tell whom we think when the word Anarakali is called? Madhubala…right? We think of her dress, her accessories, her style, her dance, and the famous song….Jab Pyaar kiya toh darna kya….

=The first thing I selected was an Anarkali dress, which I had in my wardrobe. But there was still a long way to look like her.

=Next was choosing my Salim’s outfit….It was not that tough though. I finalized his Sherwani and dupatta… which he agreed on wearing….

=What more needed?…….I looked at myself…My nails were without colour....To tell you all, I hardly use nail paint…coz of which all the colours I had bought 4yrs ago during my marriage, got dried. So had to borrow it from MIL. But the colours she had, were not of my taste. All were too dark. But I tried to settle with the maroon colour (no choice). Applied it on my nails. That night when I went to chemist, I noticed that everyone was staring at my dark coloured nails…I was so embarrassed that immediately I bought a light one and made up my nails with that.

= As I changed my dress, I thought of wearing chunni over my head….pierced it with pins unheartedly….(sry dear chunni)

= My forehead was bare, so thought of putting ‘Maang Tika’….. But I dint have it, so I made it through my necklace……My ankels were done by the beautiful anklets… Wore antique bangels..

= The missing factor was ‘Jutis’… I dint have the matching Jutis…so had to wear sandals only

In all this process, one question came in my mind. While going out I always take one napkin for Neil… looking at the cotton napkin…. thought Were in those days, napkins were made of Resham (silk)?

Now the Anarkali was so much inside me that while entering in the party also, instead of waving Hi…I did Adab to everyone…..for the whole party we addressed each one with Anarkali’s and Salim’s name…had fun dacing on the song of Mughal-e-Azam..

At the end we got the gift of the best dressed couple.....my mehnat paid off.....

I felt like I was in that old era and trust me …For the period of 2-3 hrs we enjoyed being Salim and Anarkali...........................Dress changes one’s attitude…I realized it that day…....…

LoveD it!!!!!!

Seven Random Things

Varsha Dear you trapped me…for a week I have been thinking on this tag…what to write…..still thinking…I am still in the process …oh let me write now ( kahi athavala mala)--------
.............................................

! If it’s a tag on me then I will start with me itself – I am a women just like any other, with many emotions….of love, hatred, jealousy, sacrifice, etc etc…I love myself, my family, my friends, my relatives,,,,,,,I always want to be connected with people….
In my school age I was very introvert…(hey Nu – do u rem?) but the graph surprisingly got down as my age got up…(inverse relationship u see).
I am a big foodie…(though not too much into cooking) but I like cooking for those who appreciate it…(but false praises ..No)..I am always ready to go out on dinners, parties, outing, traveling etc,,,,,it exictes me…(in a sense)…
Blogging has given a new dimension in my life. It has helped me in finding myself…
(Hey am I about to write all seven things in one point...hmm let me put the mark agn…)!

!! Enough of me ….now something about my family….I have a loving caring understanding husband…(enough praises for him as I cant say he is a typical Joru ka Ghulam, I wish he was), one son of 2.8 years old, and stay with my inlaws…by God’s grace I have got nice people around me…(ThnX God). My son, Neil, I love him….I beat him, I get angry on him… (becharaa….Mummy ka maara) but he loves me a lot..(I know…)…. Showered with Great unconditional love from mummy & peace loving papa …I have one good Badmash older brother too…He is Single but ready to Mingle….( u might be knwoing that)!!

!!! Enough of me and my family….it is said ki real tough life starts when you leave your college; when you move out from the nut shell and face the hardships of life….sometimes you meet the undesirable , ugly hearted people, (I don’t want to use any bad terms here)…but I am blessed that 90% of the people, I met in life were as good as me …hihihi….Sry I dint mean that ....but really…many ask me- haven’t you ever faced anybad situation in ur life? …I always say NO…… (Lucky ME) !!!

!!!! Right now busy with our own school, (daily getting dreams of it)…me with students, teachers, school building…etc…occupied the first half of the day, with the kitchen and then school…later half occupied with family, kid, Neil, his studies, blogging, yoga, walk and the rest as usual….!!!!

!!!!! Interested in similar natured people…who enjoy life like me (atleast my heart does that, if not I can, in practical conditions)… enjoy discussing things(hate arguments)....thinking….and have a balanced status of mind most of the time ( Agra se koi naata nahi mera)… Can continue talking for hours, and can keep myself at mute for hours tooo……hmmm ...Nice woman I am….!!!!!

!!!!!! the things which concern me are many…don’t want to go in deep….coz I know every one out here is concerned on the issues like corruption, population, poverty, illiteracy, sexual molestation, female infanticide ..the list goes on....next time I would wish to write about it in detail….but not now…coz it’s a Tag re about seven random things (and not on a single thought)….!!!!!!

!!!!!!! Lastly wish to get lots of blessings from you all, for me, family, profession, and whatever you wish to……So greedy …rite…..I have to be…as I have got the chance for the first time…and my Wishes Piggy Bank is always hungry for your wishes………….!!!!!!!

And passing on this trap to ----- BS, Jack Sir, Nipun, TC, Sorcerer, Rachna,And The Survivor......

(Me Relaxed now...huhhhhh!!!)...

OVER DEAR VARSHA…..Happy??…..
