My Expression!! My Life!!

Watched this amazing movie over the weekend – Memento. It’s the original movie on which ‘Ghajini’ is based on…. It’s been 3 days since I finished watching the movie and I still can’t get over it…. It’s just so good! The storyline, plot, the way it’s been shot, and the acting!! All just brilliant! It’s so so so so much better than the remakes…! Do not miss this one… it’s a little complicated to understand but worth it all the same! Brilliant – Mind-blowing – Fantastic is all that I can say..!! What a movie!

Flicked this again! But could not help it… it was too good to leave it there! :D And also it helps in putting my life into perspective..! (yup… excuses excuses I know!)… :D The ones in white and bold are the ones I have done… The ones in orange and bold are the ones I wish I do... and the ones in yellow and bold are the ones that i have done somewhat.. :P... forever an Indian ;) 01.

What is this feeling that courses through me… When the phone does not ring at the expected time, when I know I am about to talk to you, when I see your number flashing on my phone, when I see your eyes seek me out in the crowd, when you put your hands around my shoulder, when you hold me in a tight hug, when my small palm fits into your broad hand, when my head rests against your shoulder when we sit together, when you title me with sweet endearments when we talk, when you are concerned and patient to talk me through my anxiety and anger, when you stay up even after midnight so that you can talk to me and tell me unfailingly how much you love me, when my face perks up with a foolish, silly grin when you mollycoddle me and give into my demands, when you smile and my heart jumps up two notches, when you smile in that impish way of yours and the dimple lights up your cheeks… I could go on and on and it would be never-ending… I have never realized the true meaning of the word....

Right! So this is the third time that I am thinking of starting to write a blog and then giving up. This time I shall go ahead! (Yay for that!) You know those small butterflies that flit around in your tummy before you give an exam… I got them today after a long time… and this time they were the size of dinosaurs! Giving an exam after the lure of easy money is definitely not that simple. And add to that the fact that you are giving an exam after the space of nearly 2 years makes it even more complicated. Ask people who have had to get back to studies after working for a while if you do not believe me! Anyways, so I gave this certification exam today. It’s called ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library). Basically a certification that’s supposed to add value to your resume and your profile. Good stuff I thought and I went ahead and registered for the same. Do you know how hard it is to get back to studies after a span of almost 2 years? It’s nerve-wracking! Trust me; I do n...

You know it’s at times like this that I love my family. Just for the record, we are not one of those families who are used to PDA’s (for the people who do not know – Public Display of Affection) . We only display our emotions and generally act like people from another era (read: who have not seen each other for ages even when we would have met each other only a few hours back!) when we are within the family. And that means just US! The Rajagriha and the SV Krishnamurthy families. So the company that I work for is going through a trying phase (for people who are not aware check the business news). Actually we do not know what might happen. Anything can happen! The two stalwarts from my family – my dad and my bro’ – both sent inspiring emails to cheer me up. Not that I am too worried. No one is actually. Well maybe some of them are… :-s… Anyways. And these emails; even though I had seen them a hundred times before I still loved reading through them just because they had sent it. Not to...

So that one basically turned out to be a verrrryyyy long tag.... I don't care! I loved doing it and it's open to everyone who is interested in doing it. I found it extremely insightful and interesting! :)

Ten things I want to say to people right now: 1. I love you Appa for the small small things that you do for me and I really admire you for the person you are! You are my HERO :) 2. I love you Amma for putting up with me the way I am … I know I did not turn out to be the best daughter but well.. I did try! And I still am trying! :) 3. I Love You for not just who you are but also for the person that I am when I am with you :) 4. I know I do not tell this often enough; in fact bordering more on never; but I LOVE YOU a lot and you are the best bro’ anyone could ever have gotten! 5. I am glad I met you and that you are all of those things to me that I always wished for in a person. 6. I cannot be smiling and cheerful always. I have my off-days too. But when I tell you that I am just silent ‘coz I want to be silent and that there’s nothing wrong with me or my life I want you to just leave it at that and let me be. 7. I will kick your ass and I will kick it bad. If you think that I am short ...

I watched this movie last night. A special treat for the first day of the year. For the first time ever I could not wait for the movie to get over. And this after me being an ardent SRK fan. I would rate the movie just OK. Some parts of the movie was great; no doubt. There’s an element of sympathy that is evoked every time the character of Surinder comes on screen. The antics of Raj are the same as seen in many other movies of SRK. But overall, it left me with a feeling of ‘Been there. Seen that.’ …. Sadly this time the Aditya Chopra magic is missing. The music is very nice… I liked almost all the songs and the title track is sung and depicted extremely well. One thing rankles me though; How can a girl who is well-educated, speaks excellently well, is considered to be smart, can ride a bike as good as John Abraham still fail to recognize that the guy who is her dancing partner is her husband without a moustache!!!! Beats me.. It’s almost as if the director insulted the intelligence of...

The first post after New Year. New Years this time was a family affair. It was Kalyan’s family and me and Lokesh. Well, nothing like last year’s bash … last year’s haul was seriously good… My boss took me shopping for his family saying he wanted to get them New Year’s gifts and took me to this watch shop. Overtime and on top of that shopping… Eurgh! I chose the most expensive watches there as revenge… he was not bothered. I chose a very beautiful silver raga watch for his “cousin sister” and imagine my surprise (!!) when he gifted it to me..! :P… Loved it..! And Kalyan’s revenge on me and his wife for throwing him a surprise birthday bash was brillianto! I got a nice HUGE and I mean HUGE teddy bear from him..! It was almost as big as me… and the party was just too good! This time though it was a lot less subdued… we just ended up talking and cracking stupid jokes at people..! But I made a smashing carrot salad which was I must say SLURP!! We burst crackers at 12… wished everyone at 12…...
