Dreamz..

Funny how we all dream ...and our dreams are senseless most of the time ...it's even funnier when ppl tell u chase after your dreams or early morn dreams turn true ....has it turned true for anyone ? I am yet to meet a person who wud tell me yeah I dreamt I wud meet a guy and I did ...hahhaha..we wud all just focus on dreaming then the coffee and tea business wud have been on loss ...its funnier how at every stage of our life our dreams vary ...i remember dreaming of wearing yellow Saree and  running behind trees not sure which Hindi movie I had watched ...I even dreamt of sitting behind the bike of a guy and singing in the rain ...mind u I was wearing white salwar  and during my college days waited for some guy (not our batch ..neither our senior batch ..coz they were all so sad lol ) to give me a lift hhhahaha dnt really happen ...nor did the rains .
You start a career and you have some imp presentation /meeting you dream of those metrics/trackers/numbers ...u get up middle of the night and think what changes sud you make ..lol
and then You get married and have a baby ...every nite you would  worry abt our baby ...dreams are never the same after a child I guess .. You don't really have time to dream coz ur awake all the time subconscious mind worries about your child ...and if it's winter forget it you wud be lucky if u get some sleep ..constant coughing sound of a  child wud never let you sleep ...oops it's way past my bed time ..I better catch some sleep n hopefully dream something sensible

Blast from the past

Today a colleague of mine who used to sit right beside me was moving overseas so we went out to catch up on drinks n food ...of course anything that involves food I had to be there ...;)...it's so funny when u go out for lunch with a group of ppl from work how you end up sitting next to ppl whom you Donno ...which is a good thing but then if the person is a real bore ..god save you .. I had to be rescued today from the clutches of this mom who went on and on about her over achiever son ...I was sleepy at one point of time listening to her stories about the play her son was talking part in ...about how he won the gold medal ..I was thinking in my mind to stop her literally stuff her mouth with some pizza so she would really STOP ..couldn't take it any more ..it's funny how parents think its okay to talk about their kids to everyone they meet ...but seriously no one cares about anyone else's kid oth than their own !!
I then found a spot next to this girl who had interesting topics to discuss about she was talking about uni and how she met a bf there and coz of whom she dnt get to interact with any one else as they hung out all the time ..and end of uni they broke up so she literally had no memories of any other fnds in Uni ...then she looks at me to hear my story ..ahhahhahahaha I just couldn't think of  anything ...how could I say the only relation I had was with a bunch a girls ...thank goodness for that they are my support system ..I can rely on them even todate ...but seriously guys ? There was just no space for one guy ...we would talk about all the guys ...it was just fun ...the only that kept us going was gossips about who was going around with whom and who was having a crush on whom ...we would not only talk about guys from our college but also about guys from all the surrounding colleges ..we would even know the names of the hottest guy and his gf ..hhhahaha saddd I know ...I dare not reveal this in an office lunch and feel embarrassed lol ...
At one point this guy at work was looking around and naming /pointing out who might have a tattoo ..and he looks at me and goes nahhh you wouldn't even have dated a guy with one forget abt u having a tattoo ...lol there goes my ubercool reputation to bits !!!

Religion

Are you religious ??maybe /mabbe not ...I do believe in a supreme power ...but I wouldn't like to impose my religious views on anyone ,nor wud I encourage ppl doing that ...yes I do attend pujas for the yummy Prasad we get at the end of it ..that was just me being a foodie that I am ;) ...I get ridiculed by Aussies when they ask abt Hinduism / significance of a festival ...I grew up in an env where religion wasn't imposed ..festivals meant loadsa sweets and good varieties of food to eat and new clothes to wear of course I loved festivals but I used to hate having to wear new gold ornaments and flaunt it around ...gimme food n lemme listen to music in my room tht used to be festival for me ;)

So today this lady at wrk goes ..it's a full moon day today ..are u doing something special ?like pujas ...I'm like noo ..then she asks me which religion do I belong to ..I'm like we'll I'm a Hindu and she goes ...gosh u don't behave like a Hindu nor do u talk like one ...I just told her it depends on whom you meet ..if uve met an modern Indian this is how we r ...if u met an extreme religious Hindu ...lol god save you ...I run away from the guys preaching Iskon beliefs ...I call them the "hare Rama hare krishna troupe " seriously I love Krishna ..he's cool ...I know Mahabharata n Ramayana but if u force something down my throat ..sorry but no Thanks!!

Lemme now go n meditate ..ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :)

Food lover

Does the title rhyme with bhaklava ?;) yummmm ...I can talk food eat food and sleep /think food 24/7 ...food.com is a website which is visited by my mind ...I have this huge passion for food ..I love to eat a variety of cuisines ...If thrs plenty of food on my plate ..im a happy person  and chocolate has tht special place in my heart ...it's like that lover you are passionate abt , thinking of whom brings a smile to your lips ...hehehe
Yumcha,laksa,all Indian,pasta yummo ....I can just go on n on and list few of my fav foods but you see a mom can never pick the fav amongst her babies ...thats how emotional I feel ...and did I miss out on the desserts ? Marble cake,Lindt hot chocolate ,waffles frm max Brennar ,mango pudding  the list can go on n on ....and what abt the snacks ? Chats,desi chaknas ?? Ummm my mouths watering maybe I need a quick sugar fix for this craving ...else I will be cranky the whole day you know like a woman going thro her periods ;)

Is patience a Virtue ?

I really lack this Virtue ...I don't know how or where to start ....I am so nice to strangers but with my very own loved ones I can just loose it ...my beautiful child with whom I crave to spend time entire week I can't spend an hour on weekend with him without yelling at him ..no this is real ...my husband with whom I have soo many complains of not spending quality time I just pick up fights on weekends for silly reasons ...my parents whom I love the most ..I can't talk to them for more than 20 min ..if I did I will get annoyed and hang up ..jeez this is true ...I am the most lovable person at wrk ..with fnds im the darl ...but with family Im miss impatient ...maybe thrs so mucha stress around me tht bogs me down ...I need to cleanse  the aura around me and need more of pleasant aura ..mabbe need to meditate ,music to soothe my soul ? I don't know wat needs to be done but I gotta do it before I loose it ...I need to remain sane ..This reminds me of my recent conversation with a fnd and telling her to give time and take things one day at a time coz she wanted Divorce as she can't cope up with all the pressure ...Seriously the world around us is soo very fragile n weak ...relationships r broken over stress ? This is indeed shocking ..let us all take a step back make a list of the ppl we love and a list of ppl with whom we fight the most ...we will realize our stupidity :) 

If beauty lies in the eyes of Beerholder..wat abt Infatuation?

So does infatuation lies in tha hands of one holding 50 shades of grey ..????heard soo much abt this book that I've wanted to read it but a friend advised against coz that book totally takes us to another planet ...where we start believing that men dnt come from Venus but frm Hell only Christian grey comes from Venus (it's funny how this wrd rhymes with something else naughty ;) ) ....apparently thrs no guy on this earth like him ..not even Channing tantum :( ....
Have u realized how imp today it is to look good not only dress well but look good with a perfect figure ,perfect jawline,perfect smile,perfect lifestyle including perfect kids ...omg this is whole loads-a crap ...I'm glad I'm not a teenager today would be so tough to live upto everyone's expectation ..will be so tough to be accepted ....soo much pressure to look good in a relationship else the other person might stray ...I can't believe what I'm seeing/hearing around me ...once ur in a committed relationship that's it .."look but don't touch" applies ...this is a very std rule else you sudnt  get into a committed state .The world is filled with beautiful ppl ..so folks get drunk ..u will then feel like you are the most luckiest person and have the most beautiful partner !!!

Rewind !!!

Did you wish life had a rewind button ???? Lol suckers ...it's hard to let yourself know ur left with only memories and time once lost doesn't return unless the time machine works as expected and you are loaded with tons of cash to use that time machine and go back and live the moments you cherished the most ...we are always in a hurry to do things , to move forward ...and when the time is lost....we spend hours together crying listening to some sappy songs that brings us back good memories of the past but wat abt the present ? The time we loose thinking abt the past ..we can make better use of it ...what if 5 yrs later we think back today's date and wonder why we wasted time thinking and not utilizing our time well ...hmmm we humans r wierd..we r crazy ..we r silly ..n yet the most intelligent of the species living on this planet ..I bet the aliens are more intelligent than us ...they might have also invented the time machine and using it today and seeing us in the 3rd dimension and laughing their guts out at us ...lemme stop and take a deep breath and say "I see u " hahaha..yes thts my attempt to scare away the alien force trying to peep into my comp n check what I'm typing in here ....omg this blog is senseless !!!

Cheers for now until I get something meaningful to write 

Back to my blog

Yeah I'm back ...thanks to shaz I'm back to writing ..she thinks apparently my blog is interesting and I need to get back to writing ..yeah rite I need to ..thanks to technology we have social media like fb where I can share what I want to ...I have watsapp where I can chat away and talk abt all the goss and crazy stuff on a min by min basis with friends ..so again why do I need to blog or better still what on earth do I have to share ?i gotta figure it out ..but yeah I promise i will be back daily with something to share ...I'm sure I will figure out something to pen down

Cheers 

Why did you leave India ??

If you are born Indian and living outta India have you been asked why did u leave India ? Well I get asked this very often almost all the time ..every get together with the Aussies start with why did u decide to Leave ...my answers have varied depending on who asks them ..Below are few of my answers :
1) what goes around comes around : hundreds of yrs ago India was really really rich ppl from all over the world came to India and looted the richness n left ..so the present generation we have decided to go out and restore back the lost wealth. ...and I laugh at the end of this answer and let the crowd stare into thin air .
2) Independance : In India we cannot do anything on our own ..you have ppl to help you with literally everything ..maids/drivers/bhajiwaalas/doodhwaalas etc etc ..I wanted to be independent and do everything and more on my own without being dependent on anyone
3) Relatives : I wanted to run away from all the inquisitive neighbors and relatives that exist in the so called society who want to interfere in every damn thing and give their piece of advice even if not asked ...I was tired of pretending to like ppl inspire of disliking them to the core ...I really wanted to get away from that shit


But i have never said corruption/poverty/politics/system/cleanliness/pollution as the reasons ever coz I think i grew up in an environment where it was ok for the above mentioned things to exist ...it was never considered as wrong/ bad state ...it was all part of the "Indian" experience /culture ...crazy but true ...there may be many things wrong or bad in India but it has the power to pull me back ..I wanna keep visiting ..I miss it everyday and I love the country dearly
