Ode to the 'bai'

When in the morning the kaamwaali bai asked me.."beta school ki chhutiyaan hain??" dat ws her indirect way of askin me what the hell m doin these days always at home...
i cant say hw extremely elated i felt..teeheeeeheee..

c'mon at least SOMEONE mistakenly thought i ws in school..whos to tell her i've finished college even

moreover..have been so worried about all this growing up process and being responsible lately..

i ws always a skinny grl,and people assumed me 2 b in a lesser grade than i usually ws..i looked young..bt nw,all this increase in my weight,on a grl of my frame,dats 5'6"...i think i look lyk a giant(not dat i really look lyk one,dats my FEELINGS entirely)

and all this had been giving me worrying lines underneath my eyes..hmmmmpppfff!

bt not today...ooh i love this feeling..i now know why older women always tell their wrong age..the youth will always b a wonderful time..we will always miss these glorious dayzz...at least i would..

and i had experienced this same feeling,like last year,when a boy had stopped me on the road and recited his heart to me...mmmfffmmmfff..(dis is my muffled laugh)..

i had stopped his recital midway and asked"what exactly do u do??"(he really did look young)

and he replied"i study,m in frst year of college"

oww c'mon

and then i told him"look boy,i've cmpleted my grad ages ago..m old enuff to b ur mom,get losst"

he had luked at me wid so mch disbelief and bewilderment!!hahahaha

ohh...so let me gloat today..

and dear kaamwaali aunty

"yu made my day;)"

my feelings exactlyyyy!!

This is a follow up to the world of pink fluffy clouds;)







I was nurtured I was sheltered
I was curious and young
I was searching for that something
Trying to find it on the run
Oh and just when I stopped looking
I saw just how far I'd come
In this life
In this life

You give me love
You give me light
Show me everything that's been happening
I've opened up my eyes
Following
Three steps fight an honest fight
Two hearts that can start a fire
One love is all I need
In this life

I have faltered I have stumbled
I have found my feet again
I've been angry I've been shaken
Found a new place to begin
My persistence to make a difference
Has led me safe into your hands
In this life
In this life

You give me love
You give me light
Show me everything that's been happening
I've opened up my eyes
Following
Three steps fight an honest fight
Two hearts that can start a fire
One love is all I need
In this life

I was put here for a reason
I was born into this world
And I'm living and I'm believing
I was meant to be your girl
In this life

You give me love
You give me light
Show me everything that's been happening
I've opened up my eyes
Following
Three steps fight an honest fight
Two hearts that can start a fire
One love is all I need
In this life

The world of pink furry fluffy clouds!!

sometimes i wonder if its jst me whos this hopelessly crazy about a fairytale life or is there other people out there like me too.who believe in sch things as true love and happily ever after.not dat i need many bt i jst wish there ws some1 out there who wud know wat it feels like to b a part of this cynical reality,this hope against hope dat soulmates exist and dat i will find mine in this lifetime.

because i jst knw dat i cant live with pretence,because i think dat is what i hv been doing my whole life.i hv pretended to b a perfect daughter,a perfect friend,a perfect student..but deep down i knw its all a farce.i havnt been perfect at all...maybe everything i ever wanted was something what they wanted,my family,my friends..i wud devise new ways to please them.bt as i grew older,the desire to please lessened,and i turned into me.someone who could easily break hearts,ignore tears,tell lies without the bash of an eye...some kind of a monster woman..brash,unkind,uncaring..

bt i think thats what life does 2 u..it teaches u how to live...it teaches u to take ur head out of the furry pink clouds and see hw everyone is out there to use yu,a little slip and u can fall headlong..so a hopeless romantic like me is unleashed onto a world like this and what do u get...as the sayin goes'when in rome..and blah blah'.

and nw m on this planet where all u get to knw while growin up is how to slit the throat of the person sittin next to u,cuz by God,its competition..and hw to make friends and leave them at the altar of ur career,cuz its wat they'd do 2 u anyway..and how to catch the right guy who'd better b a good husband material,and if not,he shud b carrying shitloads of money.WTF!!!

and i'd b damned if i care about all dat..i could never choose a friend for me,or as a matter of fact a guy..they jst came along and stuck..and got unstuck and rolled away..and sometyms,when they stuck for too long,i had to distance myself...all for my career..i needed to b focussed,they made me look at the fun side of life,and then thats is all pink furry clouds again!!we cant have that can we???

so i turned out to b this multi faceted personality who is jst whiffs away frm madness...my friends notice in me an occasional outburst of friendliness,love,warmth...and at other times,im as away frm their lives as i might never hv been there!!!and at those moments of hiding in my shell,i prepare myself to go again in that ugly masked world...

and im all well till i talk to my pals again.who are the epitomes of GOD i think,they turn me back into the frizzy jello-kinds mushed up grl who thinks life is full of pink furry fluffy clouds...

and with my head in those clouds i find everything beautiful..

my life gets alight with the beautiful moments i share with each n everyone of them,even if they are complainin or scolding me for disappearing,its nice,it shows they care.
and it makes me believe in fairytales and happily ever after again...

so here im thinkin of exactly the same thing with sucha random chain of thoughts,being crazy enough to even write about that.

i suppose its tym to go back into d shell again,its too much mush for nw..

in the end i want to thank my Gods,who make me believe in being happy

nallu-i love u grl.if i were a guy,i'd hv definitely married u!i dnt think i can find myself someone better,or even lyk u.i miss u sweetheart.

chotu-i no u'll cmplain dat i had d tym to write on dis stupid blog than call u,bt i had to.to say dat i miss u.miss our fights,and fights and fights.i think u get d idea;)

goldy-i had been sucha bad frend leavin u like dat,bt u were there for me wen i needed smone badly.and nw as its sch a joyous time of your life,i wish u all the happiness in the world.

and pallu-i knw we've recently found one another bt i feel like i've known u all my life.thanx for being such a wonderful person that u are.

all of u have in some way touched my soul,and made me find beauty in this ugly world.knwing u guys,i've found God,and the faith that i will find true love.but i will need ur blessings for that;)

Out of hibernation mode!

hmm i wudn exactly call it hibernation,but wud term it as an isolation from all the gadgets of my life-referring to my laptop,internet,cellphone.i thot i'd revrted to sainthood,renouncing all these worldly pleasures.embark upon all that the deadly electricity cuts we are havin here..there was renouncement of a.c.,microwave,television as well.and wen the inverter went beep blop bzz..there went the lights and the fans too...well so this is how people used to live in the ancient dayz...i tried to imagine what they did the whole entire 24 hours of the day!!!!

no,i left it at dat..u seem to lose all imagination when ur dying of heat..so i tried to live through my sainthood with things i love the best..books!!!
heres a list:

1.catcher in the rye- a qoute 'I swear sometimes I think I'm crazy,surrounded by these goddam princesmaking out like life's perfect and all.That kills me.'
i loved it..and it killed me too.

2.english as a second language-a breezy novel about a girl who sets off to persue a masters course in english just to show her ex.a light read,cute and funny..and terribly girly..oooh hibernation is lovely

3.the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy-thanx to pallu,i decided to read this mindboggling book of infinite surprises..hilariously crazy..okay,i think douglas adams is the smartestass in the universe,even smarter than the mice!!;)

4.i even read an M&B's novel..dat shows the heights of my desperation..i think sainthood is for the saints,regretfully,m not one!!...no m too embarassed to name the book..skip to the next one

5.ok its name was the bloody love-child watsoever!!

6.and then i found brida..someone who's a paulo coehlo fan like me wud luv it..so naturally i did..

by then my madness was subsiding and i was casually being smitten into the present digital gatget world...so i watched a couple of movies..still no contact with the outside world..my forest can have a video with sum books cant it?

1.The persuit of happyness-this movie is definitely going as my favourite after forrest gump...its just beautiful.and will smith is brilliant in this movie,especially since his son is in there wid him too.no more words.simply beautiful.

2.johnny english-ok if ur a mr bean fan u'll love this flick..and its a perfect one to watch with a sibling,especially mine...hehe..we were laughing so hard by the end of it(though we have already seen this b4,still it manages to make us laugh)..so if ur younger one is as notorious as mine..this is one u could watch.

3.penelope-cute movie,a fairytale story.nice time pass.a girl who is born with the snout of pig is lookin for the true love that would break the curse and she'd turn normal.

so dats it..here i m again,snugglin up to my lappie..writin happily in the luxury of these gadgets i have come to love..but mind u a break now and then seems necessary..i would really like to go to a forest for reclaiming my life sometime in a car(modern gadget!)..and then i'd love to shoot pictures of the rising sun,the leaves,the grass,the monkeys,the flowers,all with the latest digi-cam(modern gadget!)...ok,i admit,im a techno-crazy lass...y invented the technology if u cant stay with it..have to bear the brunt of these inventions now(gladly,sigh!)

Two beatiful movies back to back

The lake house
starring keanu reaves and sandra bullock its the cast of speed reincarnated only in a touchin love story that u dnt wanna miss.i started watchin it out boredom but as the movie progressed i liked it so mch dat i felt lyk writin about it.but sincerely i wanna ask the storywriter 'where the heck did u get the idea'.i mean we hav seen movies based in the future,but who'd have thought of makin a person fall in love with someone from the immediate future,dat being 2 years hence.and through the classic stance of love letters they could exchange at the lake house.makes you wanna believe so mch in the possibility of true and real love.this fantastic love story has plenty of b'ful moments.here are my top 5:
1.the scene where she wishes to see the trees that had been near the lake house,in a letter to him.and he plants one in front of her apartment building in his time,i.e. 2 yrs ago.and lo!the tree just appears full and flourishin in front of her as she's returnin to her building.fantastic!
2.when she kisses a stranger(that being him of course),at his time, but he knws her and has already fallen for her.
3.when she's writing him to call her at the exact tym she was writing the letter and as soon as she writes those words,her phone rings!
4.when they are standin in front of the mail box,both in their respective times and they exchange letters with each other.
5.their walk together,both through the same route but different times and she mentions at the end dat she jst wished she cud've been with him and then she sees a wall on which there is a graffiti sayin 'i'm always with you'
not to mention i loved the doggie,named jack,though its a 'she'.and the ending where i was desperately wishin for him nt to die..well this aint a spoiler.so u hav to find it out whether he dies or nt.
so its a must watch.do watch the flick and temme ur best moments of it.and if u'v already watched,i'd lyk to hear ur version too.


serendipity
well,i've been meanin to watch it since long and after 'lake house' i was in a goooood mood so decided to check this out as well.and mind u.pls dnt watch these two movies together.b'cause both are absolutely beautiful in their own way.its just dat after lake house,serendipity appeared a little 'too obvious'.another regular romantic story whose bits and pieces u've already watched in some copied hindi ones.just lyk that ten rupee note scene.its the same one as in that emraan hashmi and diya mirza starrer'tumsa nahi dekha(yeah,yeah,i've seen this movie too)
its about two strangers(cusock and kate beckinsale) meeting by chance and leaving it on fate to meet again.they fall headlong in love bt both hav cmmitments.so years later when both are on the verge of gettin married and still cannot forget that moment of serendipity(which by either way means 'fortunate accident') shared with the prefect stranger go in search of their destiny again.pretty,funny and romantic.almost in the league of 'when harry met sally' and the likes.i cnt tell u my favourite moments cuz i was still hung over by the lake house.i'm sure u can temme urs.
so if ur are the romantic movie types,who love these classic stances,i hope u havnt missed this one.

Latest dish on the block

yeah yeah im talkin about ranbir kapoor.actually i jusst watched the latest movie 'bachna ae haseeno' and likewise i had to write about it..just a memoir of how i felt the frst tym i watched the movie.for all those who are readin this be4 watchin d movie,i suggest dat its a nice watch,not much unforgettable or memorable as stuff,but well movie fads like me like such flicks(c'mon i like all movies)..so a nice romantic movie..with all the usual masala and some memorable moments frm ddlj revisited,u get the idea???and a sweet and adorable cassanova aka ranbir 'the killer'.add a dash of cute minnisha lamba,sultry bipasha and gorgeous dipika.well!i'd have bought that gold ticket to jsst c 'em 2gether.and if in fact ur thinkin it'd b lyk shahid's flop(god,i dnt even remember its name)the one with soha ali,tulip joshi and ayesha takia..well nthin's in common except the fact dat there are 3 gals and one guy and the one he meets last iz the one 4 him..and really i din even feel lyk there are so many new comers in this one.RB acts lyk a real pro(i'll hv to watch saawariya nw) and c'mon if u hv seen OSO then u must hv been bedazzled by deepiks as well...i dnno y she never thot of participating in Miss India,she wud've surely brought us the crown,miss universe of course.

And it iz bipasha's year,after race she's out to leave u breathless.she's the one who's the most experienced actress among them..i thot she'd luk older than rb,but then it din matter on the screen.i felt sooo bad wen she cries lyk that on the stairs in her weddin dress and rain comes..such b'ful picturisation.
apart from the title song,u dnt get to c the three divas together in the whole picture.anyhw the story goes that rb meets three loves of his life one by one but the one he meets last is the real one who dumps him.he realises his mistake and sets off for forgiveness frm the other two,whom he had left heartbroken.simple na.but it isnt easy to just go back and say sorry,and he has to learn dat.i thot the movie shud've ended with the interval,he has already met al 3 by then,and 3 hours is a long tym to sit and watch..but it kept on after dat as well.too many songs,and after intermission,3 songs almost come back to back.that shud've been avoided.anyhw,stupid ppl din consult me b4 release,i might've told 'em a few ground rules...the boys who sat in the row behind us were demandin a 'remote control' to forward them.and anyways they kept us entertained,i've no qualms.i think they'll all fly to australia this very minute in hope of finding sucha a b'ful taxi driver there like deepika..but wait a minute,can u even imagine,immmmagine,deepika as a taxi driver..she looks toooo glamourous to b 1.that ws a bit hard on my eye.of course cuz m a grl.no guy wud mind;)
all in all a good muvi.at least my taste is revived,i was left with a bitter one after kismat connection..lets nt even talk about dat one!!
and the new hearthrob gets 2 kiss all three of them,yes yes,he does.bollywood is really goin bersek with this kissin stuff. and m sure john wud'v minded.huh!
go watch and do cmment...i really dnt like to add posts without u ppl tellin me wat u think.

samander kinare ek ladki(revisited)

samander kinare ek ladki

nariyal pani bechte hue

zor zor se awaaz laga rahi hai!

uske saath ek bhelpuri wali

baithi gaana ga rahi hai!

bhel aur nariyal pani ki taraf

meri nazar khichti chali ja rahi hai

aisa laga ki vo mujhe hi bula rahi hai


yun toh humara paav bhaji ka thela hai
na jaane fir bhi ye dil kyun akela hai'
subah shaam in dono ko dekhkar
man mein jazbaaton ka lagta mela hai

kabhi milti hain bus ishtop pe
kabhi saaikal pe aati hain
haye ye ladkiyaan
mujhe itna kyun lubhaati hain

jee karta hai bhel waali se biah ki baat karu
par nariyal paani wali ki cheekhein humein uski oar le jaati hain

woh maraa gubbare waala
roz unse gappe ladaata hai
tab humare jigar pe ek saanp sa loat jaata hai

woh roh hum is thele se bandhe hain
warna usse thik karna humein bhi aata hai

ab toh amma baba se kehkar riste ki baat chalaaun
apna toh bijnes set hai bhaiya,ab biwi bhi le aaun
jaat paat ka humko kuch nai
bas ladki man ko bhaaye
dahej vahej hum nahi lete
ek jode mein hi aaye

chalo bhaiya ho gai aapki ek plate tayyar
das rupaye ki ek hai,aur chhutte dena yaar
khao jra,tab tak hum unka mobaail number leke aate hain
aur aaj raat hi frendsip krke unke dil mein jagah banaate hain
