~IT’S GONNA BE A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012~

The not-so-good seven months of her life ! Will be over in a few days ! :)

The best thing that has happened in these months is only the BB and CC visiting in December, the rest I better not talk about. Well, I’ve once again ignored this page which wasn’t good I figured. There are a lot of IF’s...BUT’s...SHOULD HAVE’s...COULD HAVE’s... there’s no way she can change a thing. She still feels had she been away working/learning something, things would have been different for her. Just a thought, in present bears no value. But what is of value is the present, and she doesn’t want it any other way but the BEST :). She has made up her mind, and is determined to work towards it. She just wants have a life of her own and desires that there is enough freedom to live it on her own terms. She strongly believes that she’ll be her best caretaker.

Now let’s talk about some love. Love is still in the air, fresh-warm but distant. It being distant is not a problem; it’s just that she isn’t being successful in convincing herself about why to wait. She tried asking her best friend-philosopher-guide about it, and sadly she too had same views about it. How she wished her best friend’s views were different. Haven’t consulted the other two “anmol ratans” of her life yet, reason being they already having too much going on in their lives. Two of my best friends from childhood are getting married this year. I really (3) want to attend them both like a full timer as an event manager and bridesmaid. As of now work beckons, fingers crossed; hope they treat me well.

Atta girl(AG) (What does attagirl mean?) started writing because she wanted the document her happy and colourful world forever. But now AG finds out colours of life keep changing everytime and they are not always bright. There are many things which, AG carries in her heart right now. And AG has always had many people she could talk to but now she share's things with the virtual world she created. AG thought she hated em-es for what has been going on. But she guesses her love for em-es is not over yet. It hurt AG when she figured how some people are not worthy of visiting her or of the treatment they've got on their visits. AG has always overrated people in her life.* Durge has feelings for Sr. Like always AG got to know that from a third person. And AG totally feels that Durge should leave AG's friends and family alone, coz she keeps bumping into either of them time to time. The partial purpose of AG getting out of Durge's life was leaving her and her love life to prosper coz she always came in between. Now that AG is out of her life, Durge should get together with him. AG misses being called "aunty". She misses all the guys there, each one of 'em. She feels they were so much better. They always did a "namaste aunty" when they came over. She misses that. And chubby is getting worse day by day, totally jealous types. Can't image jealously out of happiness of a friend when you are not a part of that celebration..!! Mongolian goose is mad, has a bad temper, doesn't totally know what love is and love is definitely madness for MG. AG hope MG's madness affects others life positively. Good things happening in cherry's life--totally on track and completely smooth right now. AG is happy for cherry. 

*PS: phoo & amu, BO loves you.

Life without a mobile phone..!!

BO's pink Nokia 2626 has still not recovered from the shock it got from the head bang after it dropped. So BO has gone mobile-less. Those who follow her here, there's a message for them: Don't waste your sms packs on her coz she won't be able to view your messages and contact her on her land number or through the internet. She has decided to go mobile-less for a while now. SM broke BO's favorite photo frame which was a gift by her BFF. In the fond memory of both of the above things BO uploads their pics which are going to be here forever. Life without a mobile phone is a hard decision that BO has taken, she doesn't know how far would she be successful, but she is ready to give it a try. She needs to justify her choice to herself. She agrees a mobile is worth many things. She lists them and checks out what is something she would miss while not having a mobile phone. Here's goes the list:
1. She receives calls  (land phone recues her here)
2. She makes calls     (         ditto          )
3. When she is out and somebody wants to reach her or she wants to reach someone ( friends phone number for really important people for really urgent calls could be an option or work phone can also help but it wouldn't be always very comfortable)
4. Sending and receiving messages (BO believes mobile phone is a very personal device and why are social networking sites for..!! Messages from all friends can be sent and received there)
5. Alarm (could use any other device)
6. Notes and record (could be maintained in her diary or laptop)
7. Entertainment (an ipod takes care of that)
Basically this is it! All the above things can be taken care of but, the thoughts are only needed to be put into action. What if I actually REALLY-REALLY miss it??? That's natural, but lets hope for the best. Fingers crossed..!!

Matters of "Small Things"

Small things have kept me so happy recently; this has taught me how much small-small things matter in life. These were the small things which I failed to notice in the past. I wish I'd noticed them before, then, by now I could have had dozens of memories. Nevertheless, as they say, "Better late than never".  

• FREEDOM giving me the yoga DVD, to help me do yoga everyday was such a sweet and caring gesture on his part. I was really nice. I'm so thankful to him for caring about me. This is what friendship is all about. *SMILE*
  
• Pouring our hearts out to each other (my kid sister n me) while my parents are out of station and ruling our house is what sisterhood is all about. We rock. I love my sister. *WINK*
  
• The before lunch scooty ride with Paro n the helmet incident. It made her embarrassed, made Rachu D'ling LOL and I made a complete fool of myself. *SULK*
  
• GPRS supporting me at end moment in writing the script and making the skit a reality makes me feel humbled. And his advice "Believe in yourself" worked wonders with me. *[V]*
  
• ANIMATION believing in me and supporting me through out gave me the courage to fight it all. I'm indebted to him. I wish to help, whenever there's a need. *SMILE*
  
• WALKER promising me to make me taste his signature Biryani was such a sweet n nice gesture. I wish I would learn to cook as soon as possible and make his taste my signature dish. *DREAMY*
  
• 
  
  AMU admiring the translucent kurti that I gifted her was really comforting and sweet.
  
  "AMU you expect a better one this time, I won't disappoint." I love you. *HUG*
  
• The thank you note that I got from YAM n LOCK in college was sweet. The text touched my heart plus I also loved the golden wrapper on which the note was written. "Thank you for the candy guys, I really wanted to have a candy." *CHEERS*
• It was also very gratifying when CR asked me about my blog and said, I quote, " I'm not very net savvy but I'll check out your blog."  *SMILE*

Friends Part-II

"Janemann, tu hamesha correct bolti hai"……….

This line is applicable to all my friends below. I almost share everything with these bunch. And I love them a lot. I've promised myself to keep in touch with these people. I hope I can do that.

Let's begin with the two Amrita's in my life…

• Amrita DD
  

  She is someone whom I literally follow. She is my idol. I always have tried to do things that she has been doing successfully. She is a gem of a person. She has a great taste. I love her clothes. She is so confident and her English is too good. The only thing we have in common, is that we both are Sagittarians. She has a cool group of people as her friends. I adore them too. I look up to her and I hope I make a good disciple. Thanks for being the way you are, I love you..
  

• Amu urf AM
  

  She is my best friend. She is a lovely and far-sighted Aquarian. She is very caring. She is very inspirational. So far, I've learnt a lot of things from her. I've applied those things in my life n I've never gone wrong. She is a darling and my sweetheart. She is a beautiful girl and her husband is gonna be so lucky to have her in his life. I think she is the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen, truly..!! What else… I'm proud of myself that she is my best friend, because honestly speaking I've got more than I deserve when it comes to these people. I'm grateful to her for being a part of my life. She hates me, when I call her "Amu". But I love her any case..!! I would love to see her have her own family and settled in life. When Nicholas Spark describes the beauty of any female in his books, I identify it with Amu (only the beauty part, that's all..!!). I love you, muaah.
  

• Parul
  

  She is good-looking. She is pretty. She is a Libran. She is simple, yet elegant. I know her since 7yrs. I loved her then, I love her now. And we both loved "Love Aaj Kal". She is a great girl. And when we are together, we have a BLAST! She is very balanced in her opinions and is thoughtful. She is one of my closest friend. I'll pray to Wahe Guru to give her what she wants in life. Wahe Guruji ka Khalsa, Wahe Guruji ki fateh…
  

• Rachna
  

  She is our Rachu Darling. I used to eat all her Tiffin..!! But she never used to get angry. She was the "yummy mummy" in the family. She is a Valentine's Day baby. She is quite and sweet. Her laugh is the most unique of all I've seen so far. She is way too rational than her age. She is very easy to get along with. She is a sweet heart. And I love her..!!

  She has been my Best Friend for a year or so. My life with her was carefree and rocking. She is one bindaas girl. I might not have been in my best behaviour with her.

I wish you happy times in your life always.

  HEY ALL YOU GUYS ABOVE, DO CALL ME IN YOUR SHAADI..!! I'M NOT WRITING ALL THIS FOR FREE..!!
  

  
  

My 8 Schools & 1 College..

Hey is there anyone out there who can give me competition on my schools…

I'll explain everything but let me name them first in the order of my joining them..

1. 
   
   Saraswati Sishu Mandir
   
   I went to this school for my pre-nursery… and I was fond of putting nail paint then..!!
   
   Actually this is all I remember…
   
   And I also remember that once my father had forgotten to pick me up from school and
   
   our landlord had helped, by sending two strangers to pick me up… my teachers asked me
   
   to go with them…I was crying very loud..and they stuffed a lollipop into my mouth…and I
   
   was distracted until I reached home, perched between the two strangers on a scooter.
   
   (Humara bajaj..!!!)
   
   
2. 
   
   Venketeshwar English Medium School
   
   Here I studied my nursery and L.K.G…I remember the drawing exam, the question was to
   
   draw an apple and the teacher drew it on the board for us to copy..!!(I love that teacher
   
   & all the teachers should learn from her how to actually guide students). I remember going
   
   to school on a bicycle with our servant till he worked for us…I lost a bottle green coloured
   
   water bottle while going to school with him..then I went on a tricycle… One day after school
   
   I refused to return home to my rickshaw wala and went to my friends home(her name is Liza, I
   
   wish I could be in touch with her, I wish she remembers me too)..her mom was petrified to see
   
   me with her and asked me if I could show her the way to my home…I very confidently answered
   
   that I could…she brought me to my house and next thing was, my welcome with a grand slap from
   
   my grandmother in front of the gate..!! Since then I don't go anywhere after school/college and
   
   come home directly… And one more funny thing, then, I used to stare at my class teacher who
   
   used to gulp down dahi-bara aloo dum with real envy…I was very fond of junk food then and I only
   
   got fruits in my Tiffin box… Poor me..!! What say?
   
   
3. 
   
   St. Lawrence School
   
   Here I studied for one year only..that's my U.K.G… Those days my school was neighbouring my house,
   
   the sisters(nuns) teaching there were very fond of my kid sister(she looked like a bundle of joys…she
   
   was adorable…I am proud of her..she used to smile always…she never got tired and loved tomatoes..
   
   Do you believe it??...it's a secret bond that my sister and holy sisters shared..!!)… Our school had a garden and they'd tomatoes grown in there…so sisters used to send a lot of tomatoes for my sister(MIT)
   
   My ma pickled the excess tomatoes…and I used to take it for my friends and sisters(one of the sisters,
   
   Sister Mary, I guess that was her name. And she was very good-looking and a heart of gold..really..).
   
   
4. 
   
   Kendriya Vidyalaya
   
   Here I studied the first standard and half of the second standard… I walked everyday to school
   
   with one of my senior(Mamuni Apa)… My milk-tooth had started to fall..
   
   
5. 
   
   Deepika English Medium School
   
   Here I completed my 2nd std, 3rd and 4th… it was in this school that I cheated for the very first time…
   
   It was the social science exam..!! It was here that I played snow-white in a skit… and made a very close
   
   friend called BG…I lost touch with here as soon as I moved to this new place…
   
   
6. 
   
   De Paul School
   
   
   Here I completed my 5th and 6th grade… I found good friends in a group of girls(we called ourselves detective pink girls-DPG)…that time there was much hype about the colour pink…I was DPG-4… the names of my girlfriends were - Sana, Soup, Simi, Kari & Chandni… I loved these girls… and all of them are in touch except chandni.
   
   It was here that I found(now lost) my 1st ever best friend(my BF..I use to call her that)…those days I
   
   couldn't imagine life without her…till now I'm not clear of the reason of losing her… she posted me back all my letters, which I had addressed to her… I left them on my cupboard when we shifted to a new place…I couldn't throw them…I wish I could find those letters to just find out what'd I written there that annoyed her so much…really..!! My loss was someone's gain… she's soups BF now…I'm happy..really…because soup is one of my closest friend…I loved Simi and I still do… ok… I'm getting nostalgic…AAAAAAAA…
   
   
7. 
   
   St. Joseph's Girls High School
   
   Here I spent four good years of my life… found my pals for life & 2nd(appu-lost) & 3rd(AM-for lifetime) BFs included…I had three crushes here, out of the four(so far..). Me and my girl gang consisted of-
   
   AM- my BF(best friend), parul, rachu darling, pinkudi, nammo-the hottie….we used to have our lunch under a tree(now it's cut-STOP CUTTING TREES..!!)…It had our memories…other pals for life(who didn't have lunch with me but are close to me) are- susmin and zoya… I remember birthdays of all these girls by heart… don't laugh…I really do…now I remember pinky's also…11th Apr… I love them all..and I'll kill them if they don't invite me on their respective marriages…!!
   
   
8. 
   
   Kendriya Vidyalaya
   
   I passed(HINT-this word has it's importance) my 11th & 12th std from this school…my life here was very controversial…I was famous for quite the wrong reasons(which I wasn't responsible for and I mean it).
   
   I didn't do anything wrong... I made friends whom I trusted(blindly)…I do this now also…but of course I choose my friends more carefully now… I'm a number 9 and Gujarat vibrates on number 8, so maybe our vibrations didn't match…and I ended up having a life full of testing times(it made me a better and stronger person tough..!!)…
   
   Chaddha sir was my favourite teacher… Aayisha was the girl I liked in class…I'm in touch with her..and I'm also in touch with Dr Arpan, Er Yash, Er Adhi and Er Karan… I had a fatal accident on the 31st of Dec'06… while riding triples…I ate chicken biriyani that very night!..and only liquid food for the following ten days…ok..NEXT…
   
   
   
   MY COLLEGE-TRIDENT ACADEMY OF TECHNOLOGY
   
   I'm into engineering now…my first 15 days in the hostel were adventurous…the rest of my first sem, I stayed with my grandparents.. I flunked my 2nd sem math's paper…made new college friends..they are awesome…hope they help me maintain our friendship for life…!! That's all actually… I've still few years to go…and I'm enjoying every bit of it..!!
   
   
   
   My father had a transferable job so I had to change school to school when he was transferred. It had it's good n bad effects. I socialized more and got to know different types of people and study them. My studies were a bit affected by all this. Sometimes ICSE toh sometimes CBSE. Friendships were more on temporary basis. I can't say "I've known her since childhood or maybe for 16yrs" for any of my friends. But whatever it is all these experiences made me whatever I'm today. So I'm so thankful to all those people who came into my life and went, leaving a mark on me forever(even if I don't remember them now)… Thank you all so much...
