Aiwayii...

I am still confined to my bed while half of the world is out to make sense of their existence. Dhikkar!


I usually need my tea first thing in the morning BUT, there is a BIG BUT… today I have to go out and get some milk, to have my pehla pyala of chaai!  These are some “side effects” of not staying with your parents. :) “Mummyyyyyyyyy chah nathi banavi haji!!” used to be my morning shloka if I am out of my bed and tea is not ready on my table. I guess dwelling in the past doesn't help you get milk! :p


Today I somehow feel like dancing all day, all night; that too only and only in Mumbai. Don’t ask me why! I don’t know!  Poison, Hawaiian Shack best bet - Velvet Lounge will work too. Kuch nahi to Aura bhi chalega yaar! Whatever... wherever... I just want to have some good music, masti and my paltan imported from Mumbai.  I’m ICU serious! ;) (Okie... I am aware! "ICU Serious" followed by a " ;) " is at-most "a mild antithesis". You don't need be such a language Nazi!)


I hope someday somebody invents “time machine” – the one that can transport you back into time! Imagine if such thing ever exists, all our vacations could be time based, and not location based. For instance, I can plan a vacation to.... say my 19th year for 15 days. Same set up, same resources, same life and same circumstances! However, this time I guess my experience will be different. I will enjoy it differently; learn from it in a unique way. So I get to attend Kavita’s wedding yet again (where in I'll definitely change my 'parlour wali' aka dresser!), go out for a movie with Anu, Bina, Sudeep or Giri, visit then-Landmark-now-I don't know what or Crossword and read a good book over a cuppa. Waah waah! The very thought of it is soooo goddamn exciting! I wish...


I know it’s an insignificant post. But significance of insignificant is known only once it’s lost.

Aiwayii - II

Hi Junta I know I have been blog-dying oh so often lately but if you’re a close friend, you’d know why. If you’re wondering what  I've  been up to lately (if you’re not, why are you still reading my post! :|) let me tell you  I've been  doing great – travelling , meeting people, getting perspectives, brainstorming, and challenging myself in ways difficult for me to handle! Yeah, I’m a bit strange that way ;) So, currently: Am back from US trip, which by the way, was amazing. That’s where “meeting people” and a bit of “getting perspectives” part come into picture. Anyways, now back to Hong Kong and life’s getting pretty interesting. I had Dadi and Pooja at my place! We all had super fun! I discovered that G + Pooja is a bad combo. They act super crazy, senseless and  juvenile   infantile when  together! They got me to my wits end in Macau. ~X( My friend’s blessed with a bundle of joy – a sweet lil baby girl! A first in any of my group...

Welcome to United States of America

Welcome to United States of America" - That’s exactly how our Flight Captain welcomed us to this country. And I was sooooo delighted ! More than USA, it was the idea of finally getting off the 18th century American Airlines plane with grumpy staff  :-&  that caused the delight! It’s been 3 days since then and my first blog from the land of dreams! Its 5:00 am here and my body’s on starvation mode. That’s something I can’t stand. I guess I've had some 10 hrs of sleep in past 72 hours and that's it! Imagine, you've a severe headache, your back hurts unbearably. Your eyes are droopy due to sleep deprivation and they just don’t stop watering. You’ve a RED runny nose. Your face looks pale. You haven’t showered in 24 hours now and are burying yourself under layers of sweat shirts and comforters. That’s how my jet-lag has affected me. G and Ankur have been guiltlessly taking me out for a ride – LITERALLY! All the way from New York to Connecticut to New Jersey t...

Love it

I simply love it when… Every time  I come to Baroda,  the chaai wala -  exactly next to the wheeler store at Vadodara station welcomes me with a warm smile and says “ madam, bahot dino baad aaye…" ("Seeing you after a long time madam") Dadi prepares vedhmi & fruit-salad exclusively for me. Mom hugs me.  Pooja calls me “ bena ”. I do my room, even more the whole house like a lady possessed (btw, I am the 'Cleaning Queen' of India and competing for 'Miss Crazy Cleaning' title abroad :P) Sit at the window with a cup of coffee while it’s raining. I get a gift from someone, without any occasion! ( PS: I accept gifts on occasions too) I shop & shop & shop, yet not drop. Dadi uses her classic English words to add value to her Gujarati sentence. Mama (as in mom’s brother) puts his hand on my head and shakily asks “ baddhu barabar che ne beta? Kai hoy to kehje ”? (“Is everything ok, let me know if it’s not”) I receive a compliment ...
