The Saga of "Candy" addiction!

Today morning I realised that I have ignored my blog for long and that I was not able to write any thing in it. There was a time (I mean the April month and the A to Z challenge ;) ) when I was frequent on my blog but now I am not getting sufficient time to spend time with it. Just when I was getting a bad feeling about it ,Sid Balacharan from Iwrotethis tagged me on Project 365's prompt and I am taking this as a chance to write some thing which I will write in a free style, breaking out of shackles. Writing poems on anything and everything is not new to me and you won't be much surprised by this entry but you may find this either funny or silly. I can't really say that it is a misfit post for my blog as my blog is like jack of all trades and master of none. RANDOMNESS is the motto of my blog but this is something which in project 365's absence I would not have attempted!

Anyway before drifting away I need to say that I am going through many changes personally and professionally and hence with so much on my mind , I am not able to stick to the frequent blogging. One more reason which is keeping me away from blog is the game addiction. I was never a FB game addict. I played criminal case for some days and got bored but when I came across Candy Crush Saaga after seeing 100s of people playing I was intrigued. I too started playing it precisely after reading Dyanne's Haiku on Candy Crush for the letter C as part of April A to Z challenge. She blogs at http://iwantbacksies.blogspot.in/ . I must say I instantly got hooked to the game. I am so much addicted to it that I some times play it early in the mornings as and when I wake up. I play it in the gym, in the kitchen, during breaks in office and some times in mid of work :( . I am stuck at level 70 and I can write only about that now. As I cannot write a good haiku, below is a poem written in my style describing my love hate relation ship with Candy Crush!

A bunch of candies rolling down the checkered boxes.
The high I get when I decide the awesome candy mixes.
It is as if I am actually climbing that candy mountain.
All my efforts to think some thing else are going in vain! 


The happiness when I bring the same colored candies in a row.

Oh God, you will laugh if I say that I actually don't have candy love.
Too much candy gives me an instant migraine.
But too much of this game never felt a pain!


The sight of the multi-colored candy is so delightful.

For it breaks multiple candy rows and gives you points full.
The deeds the striped candy does will leave you in smiles.
It breaks the rows and columns of the candies in piles!


My heart breaks when I see the message, "level failed" like in the picture below.

For lives and help I reach out to my fellow players and bellow.
Help instantly comes for there are many who on this saga have a crush.
As and when help arrives I play it with increased enthusiasm in a rush!



For some this game is a total waste of time, energy and brain.
For me this is like a stress buster which relieves me from the toil and strain.
I agree that  at times I go out of bounds and ignore many other important things.
But some how I feel this is better than responding to unnecessary pings! ;- )


The best  part is I am reading the book Little women again as I am not crossing the level 70.

But I want to cross it, some one please give me lives and teach me the nitty gritty!
This sure is an interesting game which is unique at each level and keeps you glued.
You will just love and hate the game and at times you may even get rude!


Kudos to the creators of the game who indeed have a sharp brain.

It is not a great deed to mankind and it sure doesn't take away your pain.
But it is a great time pass and a fun indulgence for those who want to play.
Those who are bothered by others' game  can just ignore and stay away!!



PS: Wonderful thing about candy crush is you won't gain calories as you are just playing with candies and not eating them ;) :P

PS 1 : I am stuck at 70. Give me some tips to cross it and make me smile like the girl below ;) Have a fun filled day!

How to Train Your Dragon- 2 : Premiere Experience

Last Saturday (June 7th) I went to watch the premiere show of How to Train your Dragon- 2 in Bangalore. It is produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by  20th Century Fox. Previously few premieres were released in Urvashi theatre in Lal Bagh Road. This time the premiere was more happening as I watched it in Phoenix mall , White field which is very near to my home. I am a frequent visitor to this mall, hence enjoyed the fact that premieres will be released in PVR of Phoenix mall going forward. The hustle bustle of the crowd as always was contagious. Many families adorned the red carpet with their kids, friends and parents. Every one was in high spirits and the arrangements were super good. The 3D glasses were provided at our own seats and the snacks were promptly given away to every one. Every one got settled in the comfy seats of PVR to finally have an adventurous ride on the Dragon.

The movie started with much applause and cheers from the crowd. This animated movie is a sequel to the 2010's How to Train Your Dragon. Below are few important names of the people who worked for the movie. (source : Wiki)
Directed byDean DeBlois
Produced byBonnie Arnold
Screenplay byDean DeBlois
Based onHow to Train Your Dragon
by Cressida Cowell
Even if you haven't watched part 1 before going to movie just like me, you will still be able to enjoy the part 2. Part 2 is charming , colorful and beautiful to say the least. The movie has a unique charm which draws you towards the screen, story, characters and you become one of them. This time it is more colorful with many dragons and the story line will attract adults and kids equally. The humor quotient is maintained. The flight on dragons reminded me harry potter a lot and that is one more reason I loved this more :)
Image source: here


With Toothless - Image source: here

Story line and my take : Hiccup, our hero and his dragon Nightfury which is named by him as Toothless live life their way ,searching for the adventurous new territories. Toothless is so cute and expressive. Their conversations are fun to watch. During one of his explorations Hiccup discovers that  Eret is capturing dragons for Drago - the bad man of the story, whom Stoick - Hiccup's dad who rules the kingdom of Berk knows from long. Stoick alerts his people to be prepared for war but Hiccup and his girl friend Astrid both hoping against the hope go to Eret to talk out and stop the war. The effort becomes waste and gives rise to fights and arguments. Another girl from Berk falls for Eret and starts flirting with him which is fun to watch :- )

Hiccup  angrily leaves the place with Toothless and comes across many surprises. The viewers will get awed along with Hiccup on seeing the magical land built with ice for Dragons. It is beautifully shot.  An alpha dragon called Bewilderbeast protects all the dragons in that land and every one obeys to him except the baby dragons. Each dragon looks different and very colorful.Drago attacks them along with a similar "bad" Bewilderbeast.  The fight between the two groups, basically the fight between good and bad happens for long till good wins like in any other movie but even if it is the animated characters who are fighting and not the real people, you will be engrossed in the war and feel  bad by the consequences. All is well that ends well but deaths and sacrifices also happen in this process which lead to a happy ending!

The audience for sure will leave the theater with happy smiles plastered on their faces.

Some of my favorite scenes:
1.) The moment when Stoick meets his wife Valka in the enchanted land of dragons

2.) The war and the moment when Toothless is controlled by the bad Bewilderbeast of Drago by hypnosis 

3.) Every frame where Hiccup and Toothless shower love on each other

4.) The baby dragons' attack on Drago's army in the end

Some memorable dialogues:

(source: IMDB)

Hiccup: Dad, there is something you need to know.
[Hiccup takes Stoick and Gobber to where Valka is]
Gobber: Oh, boy...
Valka: [to Stoick] I know what you're gonna say...
Stoick the Vast: You're as beautiful as the day I lost you. 

Astrid: THAT'S your mother?
Hiccup: Now you know where I get my dramatic flair. 

Hiccup: [drawing a new spot on his map] What do you think? What should we name it?
[Toothless scratches under his arm with his snout]
Hiccup: Itchy Armpit it is.

Like every time this movie also made me happy. I loved this movie as much as I loved the Croods . The story line is simple and flows seamlessly with out boring you.  Any movie where the bond between human and pet is shown is my most favorite :) This movie is getting released all over the world on 13th of the June. Enjoy the dragon ride along with your family and friends. It for sure is worth it and do watch it in 3D as it magnifies the beauty of the movie.


Hoping to enjoy many more premieres in the phoenix mall. Good luck to the future ventures of Dreamworks - The penguins of Madagascar and Home.

Last but not the least, it felt so good to see my husband Imran Khan's name in the India Unit names during the end credits :)

My rating : 3.5/ 5

"Kerala Travelogue- Day 1 - Bangalore to Cochin -- Munnar"

Finally I can almost strike off one long lasting wish from my "Wishlist of places to visit"! Kerala was on my to visit list from long and finally we formulated a plan to visit Munnar & Alleppey in Kerala (well there are many other places in Kerala which I want to cover but had no time). As we were 8 people (Me, my husband , my parents, In-laws and my brother and sister-in-law) the itinerary slightly differed for us. I started with my husband from Bangalore at 8:30 A.M. on the morning of May 1st and the rest of them started from Hyderabad at 9. A.M.. We reached airport well in advance and spent our time by doing something which will please both of us. No.Before you put your naughty minds to work, we both relished the hot BisiBellebath and Pongal at a Tiffin center followed by hot coffee. After strolling aimlessly in airport finally the boarding of our flight was announced and we got in to the bus which will take us to the Air India flight which we need to board. For a moment I felt we will go to Kerala in the same bus as it rounded the entire airport. We got down and the first thing I remembered was a toy airplane with which my nephew Ayaan plays. The plane was tooo small and looked pretty old. Due to recent MH 370 news I was dead scared and kept chanting whatever prayers I know. Unlike the look and feel of the flight which is ancient and rugged , the take off and landing were smooth.

In roughly 2 hours we reached Kochi (Cochin) airport and started waiting for our parents who joined us in half - hour. As and when I stepped out of the airport I realized Kerala was too humid and too hot. The horrible traffic jam en-route Cochin- Munnar dampened my spirits. We stopped at a hotel named Nanny's to have lunch which didn't suit our taste buds at all. There was mota - rice (rice bulkier than the usual rice we have here in Andhra) , fish fry and chicken , dal , avial and some other curries. Every thing looked delicious but there was less salt which made me eat less food. So in a way I was able to follow my diet regime perfectly :p

We had a mango ice candy to get temporarily relieved from the burning sun ! With out much ado we started off to Munnar. Zig zag roads, hair pin bends and the wet mud smell were all inviting and soothing. In no time it started drizzling and then it rained heavily.As we traveled more and more it got more and more dense and green. We came across many waterfalls and many churches on the way to Munnar. Clicked few of them. The below shared image is of Cheeyappara water falls

The beautiful weather and backdrop of a church
The weather and the greenery made me sing songs and I totally got drenched when I got down to click some pics.

After a long journey of about 4-5 hrs which actually seemed short due to blissful climate we reached our destination - "The Birds Valley resorts." We were warned by the hotel personnel that if we don't start by 4 we won't be able to catch the Kathakali and Kalaripayattu performances. We were informed that as it is a hill station by 5 - 6 O' Clock every thing will be closed. I felt bad as it was already 4:15. We all were pretty tired and hence ordered some tea which was served cold or may be it got cold due to the foggy / misty weather. We enjoyed the ambiance and clicked few pics quickly.

We got ready asap and started off to Punarjani traditional village.  I always love the bumpy / scary rides at hill stations even if I momentarily get scared. We couldn't stop any where as we already got delayed. Unfortunately Kathakali performance has already started and I felt devastated as I always wanted to watch it. Kathakali is Indian dance-drama noted for the attractive make-up of characters, elaborate costumes, detailed gestures and well-defined body movements presented in tune with the anchor playback music and complementary percussion (source: wiki ) . We tried to peep in to the auditorium from the gap between curtains but were glared at by one of the organizers. The performance seemed too energetic with a lot of rhythmic shouting along with the dance. The ticket was 200/- per head but I guess it was worth it. We went in to the arena where Kalaripayattu will be performed after Kathakali and waited patiently. Kalaripayattu is a Indian Martial art. It seemed like forever as the audience watching Kathakali had to come and settle in the area where we already were seated on benches. The seats were raised and arranged like in a stadium, in a circular fashion so that every one gets a clear view of the performance. Finally the show started and before going there I never thought it would be such an enthralling experience which I can remember through out my life. I only saw songs and performances on TV and never admired it much. I remembered SRK from Dil se and the song Jiya Jale Jaan Jale as and when I saw their attire but once I started watching I realized the performers are the real heroes. Enchanted is a small word to describe my feeling. Below are few glimpses of the performance. Their strength mesmerized us. Their body mind co-ordination amazed us and their valor made us stand and applaud!

One of the most dangerous acts with fire


Jumping through fire rings. I gasped
We got an opportunity to pose with the performers. Many other visitors who watched Kathakali got an  opportunity to pose with artists and dancers too. I almost wanted to take an autograph of an young chap who was exceptionally good compared to others but I was not partial and praised every one and clicked most of them. Punarjani means rebirth and every performer's name had this suffix when they were called in to the arena to perform!

My husband posing with one of the energetic performers. He was more charismatic than the others :) I became a FAN, no, not to my husband but to the actual performer :P

This was a great show and if at all you are visiting Munnar you should make this a must visit place in your itinerary. This is truly a nail biting show and will make you gasp and shriek. I also felt very good as our traditional art forms are preserved. I wish they get more and more funds and help and they make it  more BIG! You will be engrossed for a total 2 + hours and after watching you will feel the ticket was not that pricey! For more reviews go to trip advisor. After this performance we reached our resort and called it a night immediately post dinner as we were exhausted. This ends the day 1 of my Munnar trip which was soothing and the Punarjani performance spiced up the day :)

It was love at first sight as soon as we stepped in to this town midst Western Ghats! Sharing this beautiful love song- Jiya Jale Jaan Jale about which I spoke earlier. SRK looks extremely hot in this ;) It has few Malayali words which I decoded with the help of few Mallu friends! Meet you soon again with day 2!

Jaise koi train choot rahi ho... Feelings Unlimited :-)

If you are a big time movie buff and a Bollywood movie lover like me, you would have figured out the title by now. This is a famous dialogue from my all time favorite movie Jab we met but it is not the mere memory of that scene which made me start this blog post. This line got stuck in my head some time early in the morning at around 4 O clock and refused to leave. In the scene when the leading lady says ajeeb si feeling, Jaise koi train choot rahi ho - in English means , a strange tense feeling like you are about to miss the train. Endless thoughts , Jab we met and this dialogue kick started the engine of my train of thoughts and I am writing this so as to pull the chain of that train :)

In the movie the female protagonist Geet uraf Kareena Kapoor misses the train in the very start of the movie after meeting Aditya (Shahid Kapoor). This scene is the heart of the movie as it kick starts the story and the turns and twists in it get etched in the hearts of the viewers. The moment she misses the train , and her scary expression always make me laugh. From then the movie is a laugh riot followed by few scenes which always make me both sad and happy. As the movie picks up pace the male protagonist realizes that Geet is in love with some other guy Anshuman and is actually planning to run away from home and get married to him. Aditya gets involved in the whole drama created by Geet and says bye to her after dropping her near Anshuman's home, but in a weird turn of events it so happens that Geet gets rejected and her ego crashes and confidence shatters. The dejected Geet stays near the same hill station (Manali) and starts teaching in some school. After many months Aditya goes to meet her. It is his duty now to save her from the plight and breathe life in to her. She slowly regains her original spark and the Geet factor and says to Aditya ,  "Pataa hai mujhe kaafi dinon se daraawni sapne aate the, jaise meri train choot rahi ho " (From many days I am getting nightmares ..with a feeling as if  I am missing my train)  . She says and laughs when Aditya gives assurance to her that there is no need to be scared as she finally caught her train!
Image source : here
Now I will give a break to the movie narration and come back to my train of thoughts and why the dialogue got stuck in my head. Many times in life we all feel new. Some times we feel we may never get acclimatized to the new atmosphere, new changes and any thing which is a novelty . Always we feel that old times were better. New things scare me and I take pretty long time to get accustomed to everything new and in that process some times there is a need to shed my old self , old inhibitions and old thoughts and everything old which gives me a feeling of missing a train - ek ajeeb si feeling (strange feeling)

Just 2 years back I was resigning from my first company where I served for 5 years. Till last day I didn't feel a thing, but on the last day when I returned my Gym card, health membership card, id card and everything which is the property of Infosys, my heart sank. Only I know how many times I looked back to have a final glimpse of the magnificent campus. I had to leave to Delhi as I got married. I was a scaredy cat in the beginning but I guess I did just ok. I made few friends even if I felt that I missed a train - a colorful train of my life - my first job at a wonderful place, some wonderful friends and my blogging- the seed of my blog was sowed when I was at Infy

Rewind to college days....


I hated my college. I hated it so much that I actually thought of dropping out twice, once in first year and then in my 2nd year. I cursed under my breath when ever I attended a M1 or M2 class (Maths 1 and Maths2). I was a Biology student who joined biotechnology. Maths was mandatory in first year even if we were not aware of basics. Our education system has always been like this. What we learn and what we understand and what actually we apply in a working atmosphere are all different. Slowly I got used to the college atmosphere. I felt it is my place. I studied properly and stood 3rd in class and just like that it was our farewell day. I again felt that train choot rahi hai and I need to board a new train.

 I get used to a place. I take lonnnnnnnnng time to like it and then melodramatically the last day at that place comes up or may be it is the other way round that the last day comes up and I melodramatically start loving the place!

Rewind to school days...

It was our school farewell. Every one cried a bit but I howled. 10 years in the same school is not a joke. Too many memories entwined with the place. Too many friends whom I am leaving behind to study and reach new heights in life. I was favorite of many teachers. One of my teachers cried when I went to her with slam book. Those memories are still strong. That was the most beautiful phase of my life. I wished it should never end but it did end. I finally digested the fact that I won't be going to school anymore and I had to leave the place forever.

Similarly there were many junctures in my life when I felt that I won't feel the same again in life but strangely enough most of the times I did feel the same again and again. The cycle was just repetitive.  I used to have a friend in my office who was pretty close to me, who used to love what I write but he suddenly stopped talking to me for a reason not known to me. In case of women I can predict few reasons like complicated feelings, competition and jealousy but I really don't know which reason to figure out in case of a man :) May be the same reasons apply for them too but it is still puzzling as to why a friend who had a great bond with you all of a sudden chooses to be mute and avoid you like plague! Like they say life is simple , we make it complicated. As I couldn't guess the reason every simple thing seemed like a reason to me. May be getting married is also a strong reason for some people to totally stop talking !

 Whatever it is I do miss the olden days and old friends. Some friends might stay for a reason and some just for a season
but I do remember all of them fondly. I always feel life won't be that interesting again but I move on and board a new train and life goes on with many interesting turns and twists!

Coming back to my heart favorite movie - Jab we met and our phenomenal Geet, in the last scene Geet talks to her self when she realizes she is in love with Aditya!

"ajeeb sa dard ho raha hai...bechaini sa..
jaise koi train choot rahi hai..."

[I am having a strange pain...a kind of impatience and restlessness... like I am about to miss a train :) ]

When her college love- Anshuman comes back to her and on one fine morning starts discussing the agenda of the meeting which is to convince the parents and get married, her thought train gets derailed  and she talks the above lines to herself and runs and hugs Aditya and reveals her love :) All's well that ends well! May be real life is tougher than reel life but one should keep in mind that even if you miss a train you can get in to another one and continue the journey called life fruitfully. The feeling of missing a train is common to most of us but the wisest thing one can do is board a new one and embrace the new changes and new life! 


Having dispensed all this gyaan (crap?),which you patiently read till now, I am pulling the chain of my thought train! 

P.S. 1: Written this as I  haven't blogged for about 15days and may be due to something else which I can't reveal for now :)

P.S. 2 : Kerala travelogue will take some time. May be I will write it when I have immense patience and time when I can relive every moment and write properly!

P.S. 3: May take one more long break from blogging

Back to office post vacation sucks!

I am done with A to Z challenge and nothing is popping in my head to blog. I am still suffering from holiday blues. Back to office after vacation sucks. It feels like some one dragged me and threw in to that steep valley of Munnar where I am trapped all alone midst the clouds :P Before I get too philosophical I just want to tell that Munnar is out of the world and Alleppey is too hot but still was a memorable experience. As my trip was just for 4 days I didn't get sufficient time to enjoy to my heart's content. That is the reason I am already planning a trip to Munnar again some time in future, in 4-5 months. This time I want to relish the beauty of Munnar leisurely.

Anyway for now I want to share two gorgeous clicks from Munnar and few lines I wrote in the memory of the place. Detailed travelogues will come shortly on the blog when ever I get ample of time

View from my room


"The clouds trapped between the hills feel like the hearts trapped in a cage.

The way the trees are smoking in merry makes me feel there is only peace and no rage.

The greenery around makes my heart dance and fills absolute joy in it.

The mist, fog and the rain give to this place an aura filled with mystery and grit!"

"Z" for "Zombie like" and "Zzzzzzzzzzzz"

This is not another horror story continuing from H Howls Horror! This is just my state of mind as of now. I am sleep deprived. I am exhausted and I need a break. This time it was no mean feat to finish the A to Z 2014 posts  as I started working and was shuttling between two cities Bangalore and Hyderabad. In midst of hectic schedule, frequent travels and also many other personal chores I DID IT. Yay ! I finished the challenge. I did not just finish for the heck of it. I knew many bloggers, whom I religiously read and acknowledged their posts. The best part of A to Z is knowing new people and nourishing your writing skills. I didn't mind becoming a zombie as the journey was definitely fruitful. Of course there have been disappointments many times as many don't bother to visit the blog even if you read and encourage them, but this culture is prevalent from times immemorial, hence I did not bother. Moreover people need patience to actually read , feel connected and then comment . I know all this needs time hence I ignored the fact that many don't have ample time to visit , read and comment.

As of now I am sitting in Bangalore and writing from home finally feeling relieved that the challenge is over. I can BREATHE now and I can finally eat proper food by cooking :P . By the way I never like zombie or vampire movies .They are plain silly. Go Goa Gone is the first zombie movie ever made in India and I actually laughed a lot watching the silly / stupid movie. A group of friends go to an island in Goa on a holiday and in a series of unexpected events many turn to zombies on that island. The plot is, how they escape from the island and how they destroy zombies. The movie has many goof ups. I liked the slapstick humor where as few viewers didn't!

Anyway coming to the point this post is just to say that I will take the much deserved lonnnnng break from the blogging and just zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, I mean sleep. Icing on the cake is I am going to Kerala tomorrow. Yipeeeee. I can't think of any other better option to unwind, relax and forget A to Z , blogging , bloggers, office and everything. I am going to Munnar - Alleppey and will be back on May 5th. Munnar has been my dream destination and I am so excited that I am finally going there. As Alleppey will be hot we will be staying in the AC house boat!
Yes the breath taking Munnar. Image source - here

So friends adieu ! I will always remember all those who supported me in this challenge ---  The A to Zers , my parents , bro and my husband. A special mention to people who read my posts even if they are not on the FB group! A BIG THANKS to them .Special thanks to my Mommy for the guest post. Bye bye folks! See ya on the other side. Stay fit and healthy and keep blogging :-* Finally a good bye song for you all from an old movie -Raju Ban gaya gentleman where Shahrukh Khan is saying bye to all his friends. Try this song even if you don't understand lyrics. I am sure you will feel it. I am already dancing in joy as the challenge ended. It is a cute and a straight from the heart song! Alvida means bye :)


This is  my finale post (26th post) for  A to Z challenge 2014. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

"Y" for "Yada Yada Yada"

No creative juices flowing as of now. I can't quit the challenge when I am almost near the shore, hence tolerating the wrath of A to Z , making a mental note that next year 99% I will not jump in to this fire and settling down to write my "Y" post simultaneously thinking to my self , "Y in the name of Arlee Bird did I take this challenge?" :P  !

You would have heard this phrase yada yada yada. This is similar to blah blah blah. 8 out of 10 times in a day I feel I am hearing to a person's yada yada yada where I am totally not related to what he is speaking. Take our a to z challenge for instance. At times I read posts which absolutely go above my head. I silently close the window and move on to the next if I don't understand it. If I understand you have all my attention but if it is yada yada I can't show any pretension. Same applies to real life conversations too in my case!

She: "You know yesterday we went to Wok Chinese."

Me: "Oh! wow."

She: "It was such a great fun you know . There was this fortune cookie contest and ......we won.......the girl in blue.......the guy at the door..........she was looking just ok..................... and yada yada yada !"

Only yada yada can fill the gaps when I feel totally out of place and when I am completely disinterested. She was clearly clueless that I am not at all interested in the little details of her life at-least at that point of time when I am seriously working err.. A to Z'ing' I mean. 

Next time if you see me lost in nothingness please cut your crap, concise the conversation and make it interesting. You need to be a good listener to talk so much. If you are not one then refrain from initiating conversations which never have a full stop :( 

A wise person once said that listen and silent have same alphabets and you need to be silent to listen!

Manager: "This project is highly important for the organisation. We should meet the SLAs . We should meet the metrics. You all should take breaks only when needed. Last year's statistics show that ...........our competent company............this tool improved productivity and yada yada and some more yada "

See this is how the frequency of yada yada increases. The more dis-interesting the conversations, the more is the frequency of Yada yada.
This is done with the help of toondoo.com but idea is mine!
If you really want to be a good conversationalist then involve the audience, cut short and be clear about what you say. Just don't do the yada yada :)

Today  I am KISS(Keeping it Simple and Silly)ing the post as I am totally exhausted and as I really don't want to do Yada Yada. 

Love You all. Another word with "Y" with out which this challenge would have been deadly boring is You. Yes , YOU ALL my dear friends who not only read my posts but also acknowledge it . So thanks from the bottom of my heart. Finalllllllllllllllllllllllly it is "Z" tomorrow and my post is going to be veryy short and more silly.

PS: Have you seen the movie Julie and Julia(Amy Adams and Meryl Streep Starrer). I watched it yesterday. More on it on some other day. It is based on two true stories and it shows how one can do wonders with blogging. The movie inspired me and I am sure it will inspire you as well! So keep blogging and do watch the movie!

This is  my last but one (25th post) for  A to Z challenge 2014. Hurray!!!!!

And just like that - teeny to tweeny

Zaara: “Mamma, Ronaldo does like this… zuuuii!” [does a gesture] Mamma: “How do you know? You don’t even watch football!" Zaara: “Y...
