I know, no-one is interested, but still here is an update, since my last entry.

I have been married.(surprisingly , finally found a father who had courage to push is daughter in a dark well)
I have put on 7 kgs to my weight. Have a double chin, getting healthy day by day,
My tummy is showing off( which is sign of prosperity and proves my wife is a good cook).

We have moved to a new rented house. Which is very beautiful and cozy indeed.

I have been busy adjusting to my new role as tyrant Husband.

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be....

.... Roger Waters

Am I lost in time ?……..

You have a surprise kiss! Your partner is always
pleasantly pleased to have you jump outta no
where to dote them with a fun peck on the cheek
or more passionate embrace. super markets and
work places are your favorite places to attack
your loved one with all your love =p


What kind of kiss are you?

**I came across this page through sampada's LJ**

Yesterday. I gave my seat to a old lady on the bus. I know its not a big deal, but two of other commuters followed my example. I felt good about triggering some good deeds. Its not that others don’t have a good conscious but we always wait for someone to lead the way. I also belong to this group but sometimes I take a lead.

Yesterday I was thinking, What the hell I am doing in this Job ?
Today I am loving each minute of it.

I am tired, I need a long vacation to re-charge my batteries.

It’s damn too hot, though I am in deep sleep, but sub-consciously I am awake. Something is bothering me, I wake up – all drenched in salty water, made my way to the toilet, first ritual of the day. Switched on the lights and the exhaust fan goes bonkers, making weird noises. I presume something was getting in the way of fan blades. I was enraged, it’s like someone was slowly hammering nails into my head. Enough is enough; it’s not a good way to start the day. Took a screw-driver and started opening the exhaust fan, It was a bold and scariest decision on my part. As I am renting this property, if things go wrong I have to inform the maintenance dept and they would fix things for me, so if I ruin it, then I have to pay the maintenance charges from my pocket. But heck with it, its the need of time. If I don’t fix it, I will go mad. Opened it, checked all wiring. A duck-tape had worn out and got stuck to the blades, making this maddening sound. So with lot of efforts and expertise I remove it. It was a simple job well done.

Abraca –dabra…. It works smoothly.

Freshened up, switched On my TV(that’s the second ritual of every weekend), I have to put extra –force to press the channel buttons and Keep the head of remote pointing exactly towards the TV’s receiving light. I was having problems with this remote for last two weeks; first I felt that the battery was weak so I replaced it with new ones, but no improvements. As you can understand that life can get very difficult, if you don’t have a good remote, its now one of the necessities of my life. With success of my previous adventure (exhaust fan) , I thought , why not try the magic on the remote. So I opened it, the circuit was dusty and sticky. I wonder how they got there. I cleaned it with cloth soaked in water (yes water) and put everything back together.

Abraca – dabra ….. Here I go again

I can’t believe this, it’s more powerful now. Without any efforts, I can change channels from my kitchen. I have got the power, now sky is not the limit. With this new found power and confidence, I decide to go for my two-in-one (tape-recorder & cd player). Thought the tape & radio is working ok but the Cd player had stopped working, since last six months. So here I go again… With power vested in me , I opened the Two-in-one, cleaned everything and put it back…..

Abraca-dabra…

Oh my God, I have spoiled it Atleast the tape and the radio used to work, but with power vested in my hands I have converted it into a piece of junk. Lesson learnt; never check if sky is the limit.

Can you believe this ! its 37 degrees in London. Either the Sun god is very happy or Blame it on Global warming and pollution.

Everyone in office is running out, to get quick tan. No need to spend loads of money on booking Caribbean or Mediterranean holidays. Get free Tan, at your door step !! Everyone is going mad on getting tan and I am the only one, who wanna preserve my sensitive light brown skin from going darker. As soon as the sun rays touches my skin, I go from brown to red and then dark brown. When I was in my teens, my mom use to call me "Kallu" with affection (i.e. Hindi slang word for Black or Blackie). Thanks to the scorching sun and outdoor games after school without any sunscreen lotion. But since I have been in UK my complexion has improved(not that i have gone white,but it’s much better now). I realised this two years back when my mom gave a second thought before calling me “kallu” and eventually the word has been erased from her list of my pet names. And ever since I am trying to preserve it.

One of my colleagues said "Oh this must be like home(Mumbai) for you, you must be liking it". What they don’t know is, I hate summer, oh that sweating and the sticky feelings. Though I miss the sugar-cane juice and lemon juice. it was refreshing….100 % better than all the carbonated drinks.

YESTERDAY NIGHT
Preparing for an encounter with my manager.
With my previous experiences, I studied all his moves and strengths. I am preparing myself for this war of words , if he goes left I will go right, if he goes up , I will go down.
I am prepared for this final battle and ready for all the counter-attacks.

TODAY MORNING
I wore my armour-plates, planned all my moves and strategies.
Sharpened my sword, Revised all possible arguments and answers to his questions
And here I was, fully prepared for the battle….. waiting for the final contact…
Lifted phone, dialed the number…..

Tooo..to…otooooooooo…………….(war cry).

Manager : Hello .
Me : (I removed my sword and attacked) I want to go to India in November for holiday.
Manager : OK, Just let me know the dates.

My horse hit the breaks, I crumbled with my face on the ground. Not a single shot fired, not a single word clashed. And he surrendered. No no no something is not right here. Though the victory was quick , but it was sour. So much preparation and all down the drain.

Anyway, I am going back to India in November, hip hip hurray….

I - You know what ……………I am this …. I am that.
Friend - But giri look at the brighter side ….. you are not there …..
I - But I am here …. I can’t do that… because I am not …..
Friend - But giri, you can do this…. And you can do that…. So you can change ….
I - But I am not like that…. I can’t change it…. It is difficult for me to do that….
Friend - you can do this and you can work on that and you can join them.
I - But it is not me, I can’t do this because I am not ……..

this went on for sometime.............


Helloooooooooooo, I was just pitying myself. And was expecting the same from him.
Hmm…. Plan didn’t worked out …. Must think of something else……

I change with time.
I change with need of time
I change based on newly acquired facts or After looking at circumstances from different perspective.


In short, Please don’t trust me.

"Give me the strength to change the things I can, and the grace to accept the things I cannot."

Money can resolves 90 percent of problems in anyone’s life (atleast mine) and rest 10 % are the personal ones, which everyone has to deal on their own.

In reply to above statement, Zubin said “ Mind you , If 90% of problem is resolved, then the rest 10 % will become 100 % for you.”

Intriguing outlook….. Hmmmm……..

After resolving Client's issue, everything has gone quiet. After this panic situation, there is a strange calmness. Hope this is not the silence before the storm. But still before it hits me, I have enough time to relax and have my hot cup of tea(without sugar, Its my latest craze).

Its been long since I had a proper Indian tea.

I am what I am
I am my own special creation.
So come take a look,
Give me the hook or the ovation.
It's my world that I want to take a little pride in,
My world, and it's not a place I have to hide in.
Life's not worth a damn,
'Til you can say, "Hey world, I am what I am."

I am what I am,
I don't want praise, I don't want pity.
I bang my own drum,
Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty.
And so what, if I love each feather and each spangle,
Why not try to see things from a diff'rent angle?
Your life is a sham 'til you can shout out loud

I am what I am!
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses.
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.
There's one life, and there's no return and no deposit;
One life, so it's time to open up your closet.
Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say,
"Hey world, I am what I am!"
