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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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(
  3. My friend’s blessed with a bundle of joy – a sweet lil baby girl! A first in any of my groups… and am sooooo happy!
  4. Am contemplating doing a PhD. But, hold on your horses as yet - note the word "contemplating"! That's where the "brainstorming" & "challenging myself" part comes in. If not now, never. What do you think? ;)
  5. I guess it’s high time I stop preparing such lists!!!! Phew
Got to go right now… See you guys later!

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 ...
