Old friendsss are like wine...d older they are the better they taste..:))s

Had an almost hour long Skype chat with an old buddy yeah wishing her friendship day..Felt really really good..and it was then I realized that old friends are like wine..the older they are the better they taste..:))) (no pun intended.)

Had wanted to write a post on my "Taurus " girl since long ..Today is the D-day i guess..:) we have been friends since the first day of college! Didnt really realized when we turned into d "best friends"..we are poles apart in most of our lives..be it thinking , nature, behavior or studies..I was typical first bencher, teacher's pet, she was one of the mischievous lot ..I would do my assignments at hostel and hers in college lectures..I was always a one man-woman and she has d crushes that change every week..;) I guess it was these eccentricities that drew her closer..For no reason do they say " opposites attract"

The only similarity that we shared  was that we both were rebels..The typical me was also a fighter..we both fights for our rights  and soon become each others "crib buddies"..lol..we cribbed about anything and everything and the other one always "understood" ..we shared our deep secrets, books, clothes and wat not.. :P

and yeah that doesn't mean it was all hunky dory between us, can never forgot those squabbles..she is typically demanding and moody and so egoistic (she is going to fight with me , yet again, after reading this..) she just could not stand me ignoring her and giving any other a more importance than her..If she had her way..she would claw me  off..

Its been 8 years since we first met..:)) and the relation dynamics still remains the same..even though she is going to be married in next six months, she has not mellowed down a bit..we both still love, hate, fight and are jealous of each other..;) ;) lol

She praises me and takes a dig at me at the same time. she just loves to be so mean with me.. but I guess I am one of those privileged people, with whom she can be what she is....******* (babes that offline between us)

The most endearing quality about her, is her incredible zest for life..If life was a bull, she would pull it by its horns and twist it her way..she has been through some major ups and downs in life..But her " down and out" phase doesnot last longer than 2-3 days..The legend is back on her feet again, very much alive, ready to take on the world..

D, i love u for wat u are.. you are beautiful to me and all others, who know you inside out..Forgive me If i have ever let u down..and thankssss for being always there for me...:) 

Happy friendship day!!!

A 25 year old daughter thanking note

What is the earliest memory you have of your childhood?? honestly guys..I always had a peanut size brain, so I cant boast much of memories, but yes mom dad had ample pictures of me..So I know how my love handles started showing on my first birthday or how I Started getting close to being a tomboy  from my second birthday,judging by the shorts I was wearing back then..But amid all pictures and memories one thing remains very clear , i started resembling mom from very early age..Today, 25 years later, she still remains the most gorgeous woman I ever met..:))

There are so many ways she influenced me to what I am today..When I was kid,I remember wearing her sarees and standing in-front of mirror and wondering, when would I have my own..??Also I loved and I mean loved getting her make up..I remember going to the doctor for my polio drops and getting a small black ink mark on my nail, I would boast to all about my black nail-polish..;)

Somewhere in the primary I realized about the joy of marriage, courtesy the movies and doordarshan Sunday chitrahars and I Dreamt of marrying Sherlock Holmes ,at that time I was never too fond of studies or extracurricular activities. I still remember the day I pretended of a"heart pain" because I wanted to skip the examination..Thank God maa pulled me to the school cruelly with my paining heart that I can now boast of what I am today!!

High school was of course a case of raging hormones, where I fell in love, stayed up at night and get the phone bills soaring high, made my parents wonder, would I ever complete my education at all.But amid that insanity she kept me from flunking class and got me to sail through smoothly..When I used to study mum would lie next to me on the bed and keep an eye on me..Guess that's how I scored so high in my exams

And then it all changed maa was no longer someone I had to beware of..someone I needed to be scared of..she comfortably became my best friend..I enjoyed chatting with her , She too forgets her stern looks and straight face as we became the bestfriends...!! 

College was perhaps the greatest time to realize what my parents meant to me, at 16 when you travel for a night alone to get to Delhi, you thank them for the courage they insisted in you..I remember sitting alone at 3 in morning at the delhi railway station, waiting for the sun to rise so I could take auto to the hostel.I Learnt what mummy meant by saying" a young lady should always remember what family she belongs to" as I comfortably managed college, hanging out with friends, partying all night, gong to temple whenever I wanted to take a walk and be alone..

I love your simplicity,I love the way you look so aghast when I get you an expensive gift, i Love the way you smile with pride when I tell you my boss praised me.I love your shocked look when we go out dining at some fancy place and you see the price on the menu, the way you insist you dont need any more suits and fancy footwear, the way u lovingly make food for the whole family and have that content smile..the way you try to understand my work, the way you keep telling papa how well you run our home, i could go on forever maa..<3

Today I realize how many times I might have hurt you, made you cry, took away your sleep at night, got you anxious, disappointed you and got you feel embarrassed..But mum you are the best thing that has happened in my life and no matter how much people say I look like you, my best compliment is when they say.."I am just like you"

Thank you for showing me what "blessings on earth" really mean and for being my mother...

TWENTY THIRTEEN---THE CHAPTER OF MY LIFE

Hello everyone!! I have been away from here so long that now I feel like a complete newbie! I am not going to give any excuse for not writing except for the fact that life has consumed me in totality. So much that I am in a sense of utter disbelief.My apologies for the long silence!!.And as the curtains are being drawn and the year has end, I play my favorite music and flip back the pages of this chapter of  my life!! The past year was packed with so many activities that I cant actually believe it whizzed past so soon..!!

AS it just happened,I still remember how I welcomed the last new year with family, friends , food and drinks..The year started with so many ups and downs in the personal and professional front . I have gone through a medley of the most unexpected things in the initial few months..The pressure of so called "Dissertation" thing brouth us in the state of saturation M AND I Was so must caught in the mayhem of deciding a thesis topic for us.. :-P It  was so tough moment for us..!! M, do u remember our favorite dialogue " yaar mtech main fail hogaye to kitni bezzati hoggi" :P 

and the others use to make fun of us.. For all those moments we shared together which wouldn't have been so mesmerizing without you M..love you for everything :) for all that time we spent together which wouldn't have been so memorable without you M. 

Finally after a long waiting, comes the most awaited moment of my mom's life with my MISSION MTECH accomplished.!! It was like a dream come true..the great day ... 
when amityuniversity gave so many young , dynamic Post graduates to the world ..wat made the heavens cry..Made the day go dark before the nite..No matter wat made us all face in those 2 tears together..It gave me friends that will last forever and memories That I will cherish life long...And a chance to say .."M a post graduate"
Friends, Acquaintances, companions and mates :))
foes n enemies :P
Amity gave me all 

 The story of getting my thesis published in an international journal for the first time pervaded me  with a pride..!! Although..that was priceless!! With all this I pestered my parents to allow me to live my passion to travel and experience some  of the most breathtaking moments of  my life..Thanku S and Y , For the enthralling trip we had to the Jim corbett! <3 <3

The month of May brought a U-turn in my life and my marriage for finalise..Never thought it will happen this way..Still can't believe that I Turned into the marriageable age..I wonder what is it about marriages that make go weak in the knees..!! Wedding preparations were fun, tiresome , irritating at times but most flattering , making you feel specia and on the top-of-the-world..!! Everywhere you go the shopkeeper invariable asks "AApki shaadi h??" And you blush and say "YES" And lo and behold he will go berserk trying to convince you into buying the most expensive piece of dress/jewelry/shoe in his shop with his already-repeated- a- million-times-remark -"Madam shaadi to ek baar hoti hai ..paise k baare main mat sochiye"

**yeah sure you** .. Its my parents hard earned money and you think I am going to blow all that up just because you take me into a make-believe wonderland!! But the irony is you actually end up spending all the money..Apart from those busy shopping schedules , you become day dreamer the rest of your free day dreaming about your new life, new love and other new things..;-)

 Well I enjoyed the phase to the hilt and my wedding too..It was fun being the centre of attention for once!!

And since the "just married" phase is no less melodramatic , I have decided to try and  keep my blog updated with the moods and feelings that will make me feel good a few months down the line..!!

In the mid of all that I got my first job as a teacher..It feels great to be a teacher..The love and the respect you get from your students is worth-mentioning..While I teach I become nostalgic listening to my students conservation..It reminds me of my old-gold days ;))

With the n- number of ups and downs in my life, the year 2013 was the most memorable year of my life..<3..Hoping for a great year ahead for myself as well as my friends..!!
