The first time..

Well here I am writing my first blog.. About time I started, thanks to Sameera which gave me enough motivation to create my first one.

I ve always been thinking why do people write here... still have not been able to figure out any of it though.. but then its ok.. once in a day i can write..

So here I am sitting in my not so private cubical and typing.. from some distant corner I can see my team mates going for chai.. the ever jumping n O so cool (supposedly) Sendhil is trying to baby me by asking if he can get something for me from the tapri... I give him a "look" with a smile.. he dint say a word.. and he s off ...

(There are times when I just love the fact that we women can give the "look" !! I mean think of it, one look to say yes, no, buzz off, f*** off, i love you, i hate you, i need you, i dont need you... only women can "do the look"... )

I can now type in peace.. :-)

I watched Love Aaj kal... n then I had this short give and take of comments from my friends on Facebook... Yes I do not agree with Meera... Pallavi siad dont over analyse it.. but the fact is it I want to!! Meera.. head strong, forth right, always aware of what she wanted.. I want to be like her.. But would I be emotionally imbalanced, see - sawing between love and .... (yes, love and .... thts where Meera lacked gravity,what was she weighing love against ?? )

Career!!!

We Indian women.. no matter how much we want in life, in carreer we are by far always obliged to be where our spuses want us to be.. you might call it tradition, you might call it love, you may even call it fate, but dont we just settle where our spouses want us to? How many men move to the place their women want them to? So I want to analyse Love Aaj Kal.. Did Meera married Jai and shift to USA, leaving her wonderful dream of painting every ruins of India? that is something I want to know truly... But our dear dear, happy - ending and "Love makes life live" BOLLYWOOD.. May be that s why Pallavi said - it was a HINDI movie... dont over analyse it!!:)

So I leave it there... and remind myself that I need to go to Espirit to change a skirt I bought on Sunday... I know,. I know you will ask why the heck women buy something when they have to change it.. I promise I will delve into this question sometime.. Right now I want to convince myself that I can fight those blaring horns, auto- rickshaw maneuvers and inching traffic... and then convince the store manager why exactly I want to exchange it!! Once done I have to find something which will convince me that it can make me look pretty.. PHEW !!!

I miss Sameera - now more than ever...

  3. think ..somethings in life has to be accepted ..as said its all on your priority .. as being a woman we have lot to do in our life and at the end what matters is happiness .. everything is comparitive as we all diectly or indirectly do things where are happiness lies by shifting job where your husband is ..or to take your own stand ... but life is much above all these aspects and we really need to find ways to be Happy!

  4. Thanks Deepa..
    Shweta - Thats the problem with our gen. We do not know what will make us happy.. We think we are happy with something and then the next day the very same thing starts haunting us!! Happiness is skin deep maybe that is the reason why some people with the most meager resources can exhibit the most satisfying and contended smiles..

  5. really well written expressing urself elegantly has always been ur niche and u might doubt this,but I always have been a fan :-)
    keep going !!
    but u know wt i disagree with the part where u shower praise on the character of Meera .If I watched the movie correctly, she ditches her husband 1 day after marriage which wudnt be done by somebody who´s aware of what she wants!!
