The Pensive

The clock is ticking away. 2012 ."OOPS! I mean, 2013 so far has been a good year". Even before I say this , the year is about to end. I am writing this article before the clock ticks 12midnight on Dec 31st 2013 to prove that I can run a race along with time. Hence this extra effort in writing this blog post before 01-01-2014 even if having a fistful amount of time is getting tough these days. I wrote a post "The Gurgaon Diaries" sometime early this year but it feels like yesterday. The Gurgaon Diaries post summarizes my stay in Delhi in 2012 just after my wedding. Now that 2014 is nearing and my wedding anniversary is just round the corner I thought, why not summarize the year 2013 in a different style :) I never take resolutions on Jan 1st as I love doing random things. I always pray to God for good health and happiness the way it is mentioned on any new year post card on the day 1 of every yea r :) But 2013 has been a good learning year for me.  The ...

Read part 1 at No loss with T.O.S.S. (part-1)          part 2 at T.O.S.S. ka Boss            part 3 at To T.O.S.S. or not to T.O.S.S.   and part 4 at The T.O.S.S. Tips   It is the finale day. The counting of votes started on facebook. Rahul was praying since morning and  kept all the good luck charms near to him. Geeta was getting hyper due to his feverishness. Geeta: "Rahul, You want Maggi or bread omelette for breakfast? There was silence. She turned around and saw a stern faced Rahul staring earnestly at the monitor. "What's wrong with you Rahul? I am talking to you!" Rahul: "Nothing. I am just waiting for the results. Today is the last day.” Geeta: "You are behaving as if it is your Engineering entrance exam result.  You are getting on my nerves now yaar! " By the end of the day Rahul was walking on his toes waiting for the results...

God cannot be every where and hence he created mothers they say. A mother's job is tougher than a God's as a child needs her every minute of every day. We seek God to fulfill our wishes and join our hands to pray. A child searches for a parent when ever he has wishes and even when he has to play! In future when I become a parent I want to gift my kid a life with happiness to the brim. He would be a toddler when I would love to sew a colorful sweater for him. I would love to gift him books at an early age and educate him the good and bad. I would teach him the values which may not be in books and always cheer him up when he is sad! I would not want him to study for exams and score marks , ranks or get a medal. Instead I would love to gift him the best education which makes it easy to solve the life's riddle. I would want my kid to be the one who takes a stand and decide the best for him/herself. While doing it I will give him freedom but will not mind being a ...

For the Indibloggeshwari's secret elves activity, I got Prasanna Rao's blog to review. She blogs at Life Under Microscope .Indibloggeshwaris is a group I love hanging around ,hence when I got this opportunity I just had to take it as it is the group where I always come across many interesting , creative , intellectual , humorous , emotional and all kinda ladies. It is not an exaggeration if I say "It is the best ladies hang out in the world." Oops I am drifting away from what I have to do. I am supposed to review Prasanna Rao's blog here. So let me do it with out delay :)  Firstly I love the blog name as it describes what she does on the blog aptly. We watch life under a microscope and reproduce the image with better resolution on our blogs and hence the title is a good one! I read Prasanna only during some contest where she was one of the runners up on Indiblogger and didn't get a chance to read much after that. Thanks to this activity as I got an oppor...

It was raining cats and dogs. I and Deepthi were getting back from our evening tuition. We both had bicycles but just to spend long time together, we used to walk holding our respective bicycles. Some times we had a cycle race between us. She on her lady bird and me on my Miss India cycle used to rule the streets. Almost every girl who did schooling in 90's knows these bicycles which used to give a stylish look to us. My Miss India exactly looked like the one in the below pic but was a brown colored one! Image source: here .  That day we were just tired due to a long Physics lecture. Before we could decide light is a particle or a wave we realized it travels faster than the sound , due to an eye blinding flash of lightening in the sky followed by a thundering roar. We were in the mid of the road and trees started swaying wildly and we were not even able to hold the bicycle firmly. We got drenched in seconds. We rushed in to the near by video rental shop ( Yes it was late 90...

As and when they finished eating, Geeta stormed out of the restaurant. She walked straight to the car without speaking a word. Rahul: "Now what? Why are you so angry with me?" Geeta's phone rang. It was Nisha again. She was not in a mood to talk but lifted it anyway. She took few steps forward so that Rahul doesn't overhear her conversation. Nisha: "Hello Geeta. Sorry for disturbing your dinner. I need some help yaar?" Geeta: "Ya tell me. What is it?” Nisha: "You know Pavan na. He never shaves dear . He says the stubble makes him look cool and I hate that unclean stubble!" Geeta: "So?" Nisha: "Can you make him talk to Rahul once. Is the TOSS thing still on? I badly want him to get shaved ;(. " Geeta: "Not again Nisha. I am already facing the bru...

Read part 1 at No loss with T.O.S.S. (part-1) and   part 2 at T.O.S.S. ka Boss   Geeta's Facebook wall got flooded by the comments from all over the world. She was surprised on seeing the response Rahul was getting. Rahul was overwhelmed too. Geeta wanted to throw a party to Rahul as he finally got rid of the stubble. She might not be the reason but she was thankful to T.O.S.S. for bringing joy in her life and decided to celebrate. Geeta : "Let's go to the Great Kebab Factory. It is my treat." Rahul smiled to himself and thought, "My clean shaven look must have bowled her over!" He spoke to her : "Really! You never spend a penny on me . How come a party now?" Geeta gritting her teeth : "Just think it is a party in advance as you will any way win!" Rahul gave a stuble free kiss on her cheek and said , "I love you dear. You are the best." Geeta blushed at his gesture. They both started to the Great Kebab Fa...
