The Year is at its Fag end... ALREADY...!!

Wow its almost mid December.

The last post that I wrote was feels like it was ages ago. But then a lot of things do keep you busy and then you really feel guilty about not updating your page at all.

Neways, Just like all good things to an end... (almost.. love I hope doesnt come to end ever), this year too is speeding away and soon, we would be seeing the new dawn in the 2nd leap year of the new century. Its just amazing that time runs away like spped of light or what... it just seems like yesterday that this year had started and I had made some resolutions... I don't think that I stuck to em at all... but then arent the new year resolutions meant to break. Its really commendable that you keep up to your new year resolutions.

Well... as the tradition goes that when December comes, I usually start the countdown to the new year and rewind the previous year. And I always ask my readers to please share their experiences of the previous year with me on my comments.

The year of Bond is almost at its end... this year was hailed as a super lucky year..and to certain extent that maybe so.

Keep coming back to catch the nostalgia of the year that has gone by... no its not gonna be statistical its just gonna be how I see it.. and ofcourse your input are welcome.....!!!

Triumph of Good...!!!

Today is Vijaydashmi. Also the Shubho Bijoya... and the 75 day festival that happens in Chandigarh culminates today. Apart from that the entire south India celebrates today's day as an auspicious occasion to start any sort of education.

This is India. Where all colours come together to bind us into the spirit of festivities. Whatever te theme or the festival maybe... its celebrated with so much of enthusiasm that I get goose pimples all over my body...its such an experience....!!!

Anyways, the whole lots of celebrations that mark today are embedded in the religious mytholigies and stories that have always taught us that bad may have the hay day but the good will always have the last laugh. I belong to the gen next... and though I have read Mahabharat and The Ramayana, sometimes when I actually ponder over em... it all seems fantasy stories from Alif Laila.

Whenever someone is to describe a good man you say, he should have the qualities of Lord Ram. And evil man is associated with Ravan.

But are these refrences of Good and Evil as relevant in today's times... or these festivals have just become a part of the boquets of celebrations and holidays that are given to us...??

Ram, I feel was GOD... too perfect to survive in the world that we live in. He was Mr Perfect... down to perfection. Where as Ravan, was human. And, to be really frank, all of us have bits and peices of him in us. He was materialistic... craved for power and he was better than us because, he worked really hard to get the kind of power that he possessed, where as we want everything served to us on the platter.

Btw, As depicted Ravan did not have 10 heads, he had just ONE head, but because he was so intelligent and he was a complete Shiv Bhakt and did Bhakti to get the powers, his One head was equivalent to 10 heads.

The thin line that differentiated Ram from Ravan was, the fact that Ravan misused the powers that he had acquired. And in that regard... dont we do the same...?? I mean that, the moment we are in the position of power... we misuse it...even if we do it... very lil....!!!

So, basically we are just Humans... not Ram... and definately not Ravan. So wats the good that needs to be truimphed.... wat are the evils that need to be burned away??

Basically.... I feel... that we'll start embibing good, when we kill, corruption, hatered, start loving the people around us. Stop nurturing fights that kill people who are like us. If we start nurturing ourselves as humans who have love.... we'll truimph... the Evil.

For all of us, who are Harry Potter fans, remember, what Dumbledore told Harry, when Harry realised that Voldemort and him share the same powers, Dumbledore told Harry, that Harry has something that Vodemort doesnt... and That is LOVE....!!!

Test of Love or What???????

If you thought that the reality shows on TV have all the drama and action, then think again....!!! Sometimes we overlook the twists and turns of fate and above all whenever we undergo the real life drama, some how those reality TV shows look much much better.

Its 11.40 in the night, tomorrow morning Shayon is supposed to land here in Delhi. This whole trip was developed within a week. And trust me, from the time, destiny chose this time to be our meeting time, the drama...the emotional highs...and what not started. And till Shayon does not reach Bombay, and in the safety of his house, I think that this real life drama is gonna make me dizzy.

My dears Exams got over today, and thanks to a few friends and our dear Dada, he is coming to meet me. The catch of the situation is that, he is supposed to catch a flight at 6.30 tomorrow morning and his train, that is supposed to take him to calcutta is more than god forsaken hours late. First, it was decided that he'll take a car to Kolkatta, but then that was turning out to be additional expense... and then we thought that the best way would be to cancel his ticket and get him on another flight. And just as I was on my endeavour to cancel his flight, while talking to him we heard the Magical Announcement that his train is finaaly ready to take him to Kolkotta. Even now as I write this post, in my heart I am not being overtly jubiliant...I am just praying that he is able to catch his flight on time. And that when I get up tomorrow morning, I know that I am gonna finally meet him.

Dear God,
Thanks for getting the train there. Now Please Please.... Please no more delays or Mishaps.... Just let us meet w/o anything catastrophic happening.... c'mon, You always listen to people who are in love... so please Dont make any exceptions now....!!!

Thank you,
Sakshi

Chak Diya....!!!

A final made in heaven or what....!!!

The world T20 final, couldn't have been bigger or better. A final that every Indian would remember. A final that has made history yet again after 24 years of long wait. Twenty four years earlier a young lad named Kapil Dev, led to the most amazing Indian win in the World Cup. He always said- "Play Cricket from yourt Heart".

And today, 24 years later another young aggressive captain MS Dhoni says the same thing to his boys, that just play dil se.

The celebrations after 3 hours continue to rock the city.... and as I write this post it feels that Id, Diwali, Holi and Christmas have come early and have come together here in India. We are a cricket crazy nation, a country United in the win against their arch rivals. The match was more important because it was against Pakistan. And the record holds it, that India has never lost to Pakistan in a World Cup Match. Even in 2003, ofcourse we were disappointed that we couldnt win the cup, but we were much happier because we had beaten the Pakistan team in the Semis to reach the final.

India made 157/5 in their innigs, and batsmen like Yuvraj and Dhoni just couldnt fire like they did in the previous matches. But the sensible knock of Gautam Ghambir (75 of 54 balls) took India to the total that was competative enough. In their innings Pakistan gave a fair share of competation to us and evry ball wrongly place was put away for a boundary. But the early and regular fall of the wickets put the pressure on the Pakistan team. Though the most crucial wicket that turned the match was that of Imran Nazir. He was run out by Robin Utthappa, a direct hit mind you. Also the other crucial wickets were taken by both Rudra Pratap Singh and Irfan Pathan. They did awesome work with ball. Though Joginder Singh was hit when he balled, the last wicket and the match taking wicket was taken on his ball by Sreesanth.

This Cricket team lead on the front by their Capain, is a Young and Vibrant team, A dream team maybe, but what matters the most is that this is the team that has tapped the raw potential of the young blood and made us proud.

Here is wishing the Indian Team..... All the best... !!! And a Huge Congratulations.... You guys have made us proud.

Cheers to the Half Century.....

Its a lil more over a week that I have been back from Mumbai, and since the last publication, I agree that its been a looong time.

It seems that the roles have been reversed and that my blogpage is getting lesser posts and Shayon's been blogging...and Blogging... at the rate of posts mushrooming every few hours.( This is exaggeration, he hs been posting atleast 2 posts a day).

Firstly, I wanna congratulate myself that I have managed to write up 50 posts.

This sure is an achievement for me. I hope that my readers continue to support me.

Hmmmm.... so how was homecoming.... ???

Well.... Till about recently I used to say that I am in transition phase and that I still havent gotten a feel about being home... but today, I guess I have finally reached home. Wondering ahy am I saying that?? Welll.... My experience certificate finally reached me today. Its my very first experience certificate from my very first job.

Finally- I am Home....!!!

Aamchi Mumbai....

Wondering what happened to me and my updates.... well... its just that I have been keeping a tad bit busy..and being loads lazy.

Well... the week that was... was great. I had gone to my Di's place for the weekend. I managed to meet three of Shayon's three freinds... actually two of his girl friends and his best friend Vijay. It were some cute hours. We had so much of fun... talking and getting to know each other. I just hope that I dint blabber tooooo much.

Theen office has been pretty usual.... work, an the usual bitching that goes between the my boss and the lady that sits in the next cubicle. Its kinda fun, sitting in a semi govt office trying to figure out what people actually are doing....!!!

Home is great.... the maid cooks really well... but she thinks that she is the malkin....!!!

The weather here is great. Never in the years that I have been to Mumbai, I have experienced such awesome weather. Its just too beautiful.

I too am great.
Rest later.... Cheers....!!!

Wednesday Surprise...

It was pretty blue for me on tuesday.... I kinda came down with the cold. Neways feeling much better.

Though... Arushi had told me that Naveen Bhaiya is gonna come.... I never thought that it was gonna be today. So right in the morning, when I woke up, I found that Naveen Bhayia was right there.... and he gave me a ride to office. He is pretty excited and very nervous about the baby that is gonna came in a few months.

Rest all is great though.... just a twinge.... that is all. Wish I could expand on that. But I'll just let be.
Cheers....!!!
