come june come...

should we have faith in june!
or not bog it down with expectations??

what is the PLAN???

so what is the plan?
what do you want from me
and what do you actually want it to be?
are you testing my patience ?
or is it all nonsense?
waiting to isolate me and then shoot me down?
or is it some other way round?
you better tell me something before its too late...
well what will i do?
don't know, but i sure wont resign to fate!

hmmmmmmm

i'm holding my breath and stepping in!
sigh!
i'll either have to be rescued or i'll learn to swim.

we'll talk about the different styles later

grab a bite...

they don't have assistants,
na they're not qualified chefs...
they don't have swanky fully equipped kitchens...
and no spic and span cutlery...
but yes... the food they serve sure tastes YUM!
just visited one of these road side thele walas...
and man! was it GOOD stuff to eat or what.
yeah i don't vouch for the hygiene but i sure do for the taste,the speed, the service and the price.
slurp!
and trust me... the road side stalls have disappointed me WAY less number of times that the posh restaurants.

things that trouble!

• jaipur bomb blast
• fudging numbers
• wait
• inefficiency
• dishonesty
• heat
• dependence
• lack of humility
• distance
• time zones
• mosquitoes
• inflexibility
• global warming

am i running out of patience, or have i run out of it already! WHOA!

(its been SUCH a pathetic day)

sad

its sad how one, just ONE instance its enough for you to loose all respect for an individual!
sad... but true.
and if its someone who you liked/thought nice of and all and all, it just is SUCH a disappointment.
sigh!

i miss

pangea day

if you've not been a part of this, you really have missed something.
pangea day was celebrated throughout the world on the 10th of may. it was one large global screening of these really amazing set of films, being watched by people ALL over the world at the same time.
it was one BIG audience.
i must say, it was a brilliant idea, and was really really well done.
amazing is not the word to express enough for the films that were screened. thankfully for all those who were not able to make it, the films are available online on pangeaday.org.
creativity personified.
the idea of getting the world to come together and see and feel what people in the other parts think and believe and feel, was absolutely amazing.

to the angel...

whatever i may do will not be enough to thank her.

WoW!!

if you've been in India a while you've sure seen kids come up to you and beg(its really really sad that they are made to do it) for money and/or food...
but today...
this kid came up, and asked for a book!

think time

walking to places you want to go,definately gives you a lot of thinking time.

silence!!! the court is in session!

last weekend was time for another play. and this time a GOOD one.

we went for this play called 'silence! the court is in session!' an english translation of an originally marathi play.

i think it was a really really well written play, and the actors enacted it really well. held our attention for the whole duration. they made us laugh, wonder, feel sad, angry all in those 2 hours.

everyone from the lead lady, to the village bumpkin, to the lawyer, to the lady who mocked, they were all perfect!

the play made me think again about how easily we form our middle class notions and even if we believe otherwise, how difficult it is to oppose them. how naturally we believe things to be good, and how easy it is to get into trouble and noone will give you the benefit of doubt.

i think we should all get to see more of these.

thanks to aayisha for getting taking us along to watch this one, and a spl thanks to Harish who was a part of this. :)

worrying me sick!

inefficient time management and global warming

power!

well the power of power was made known to us in the last 24 hrs.
us being residents of kormangla 4th block, blore. a little heavy rain last evening...am guessing caused a tree to fall and cut off the electricity of the entire area!
so no power whole of last evening, whole night and no power during the day either. luckily i was in office during the day.
while walking home from work, i saw my area dark and asked the shop keeper 'power cut today also??' he said there has been no power since yesterday!!! and there was no expecting it to be around till tomorrow morning! luckily its here and now after 24hrs and we're breathing a sigh of relief.
but 24 hrs was MORE than enough to bring life to a stand still...
there was NOTHING anyone was able to do....
we could not even sleep in peace!leave aside the fan, the mosquito repellent also works on electricity!!!!!

LOOKING FOR A SPOILER????

!!!

solitude beckons...

another kind of silence...

another kind of peace...

another kind of storm,

another kind of grief

to mr. ditcher

probably haven't spent more convincing someone!
probably noone's made us wait longer.
probably noone's been happier for us.
probably noone's made us grin wider.

when you cant sleep

so when you cant sleep what do you do?
do you blame it on the empty stomach?
or on the fuller heart?
do you blame it on the warm weather?
or on the mosquitoes that dart?
do you blame it on no company?
or on the thoughtless mind?
do you blame the book for not being boring?
or the pillow for not being the softest find?
or do you just let the excuses be?
but what the hell!!!!! the one in office tomorrow has to be ME!!!

thank you

the days when we've had a NICE meal, served to us with care and affection, i guess are the days we sleep with a smile on our face.

thanks to the SO many angels, for giving me one more day when I've slept with a smile on my face.

:)

all we want is all we'll have...
