Everything is never as it seems...

She knew the answer even before the phone was answered... but patiently again listened to his secretary voice saying .."Neil is busy. he will call u later"
He hadn returned her call past two days... this was not like him.. even when angry, he would let her know the reason and would end the fight within a day..

She had felt him pulling away from her quite a long time now.. He hardly spoke to her, and when he did he would tell her he was too busy and drop the call within few minutes..

There was a sense of unknown lose in her.. she felt the dampness on her cheeks and thought this might be the end of a beautiful 5 year long relationship.. with an instant urge in her to be alone from the rest of world.. to cry her heart out... She started her car n drove aimlessly for an hour .. there were hundreds of thoughts in her head .. wanted the answer for his ignorance on her..

And then she couldn even drive anymore.. She saw herself at the beach where they had their first n many more dates.. there was a small sigh thinking of all the beautiful moments spent together..she remembered his promise to build a house for them here.. walking on the beach, she thought she may never again be with Neil on this beach..

Lost in her deep thoughts, she ignored noise overhead of her .. her cell too started ringing.. she saw that it was Neils call n knew for sure that he called to break up with her.. this is it,she thought... you get dumped at the same place where you had your first date.. what an irony!! With a brave heart she answered the call and heard Neil say "hey sweetheart look above.. at the sky".. for a moment she was confused and then when she did .. she saw a airplane carrying a sky banner sign -My Darling Please BE mine.. she heard him again saying "look to your left" and there he was holding a bunch of red roses walking towards her..


Tears were rolling down her eyes now... he got on his knees and proposed "Marry me.. make my life as beautiful as you" ..Instantly she grabbed the flowers and started hitting him. He pulled her close n held her tightly and said sorry.
"Why have you been avoiding me" she asked.. wiping her tears he answered.. "so that you get really mad at me and come here to cry your heart out"..."I wanted to surprise you here"..
"How did you know i would come here" she asked..
"i know you more then you know yourself, but i dint know it would take you two days to come here".. he winked.. "now please say yes" ..
with a wicked smile and tears still rolling down her cheeks she replied " i shall think about it" ..
he just laughed...he knew her answer immediately!!



PS: I havent attempted writing a story for almost year now... hmmm... Guess have lost a bit of the writing skills :)...

International Day of Love

So how did your valentine day go guys???


All u singles out there.. did you flirt the day away??
anyone's got any special moments to share??


Let me tell you mine...


Day started out pretty normal.. with the boy driving my uncle to bus-stop early in the morning... i opted to stay back at home for two reasons..
1) maid would come by 7:30..
2) had big plans of baking a home-made-valentine-chocolate-cake for the boy..


I just had half n hour to make the cake.. cos the boy would be back by then.. wanted the cake to be a surprise for the boy.. But for my great horror.. turned out only one glass of milk was left and the recipe needed minimum 2 glasses.. i decided on trying it out with just 1 glass.. with the cake batter ready .. all that was needed was to place it in the cooker. and with this done. i just had to wait for the boy to be surprised ....

Boy came back in no time with a bunch of roses n carnations(oh yeah i love carnations :) .. especially red ones)... cake was still in the cooker ..n by then the whole house had started to smell of the baking cake.. my boy has got one hell of a inquisitive nose.. n i din take him long to land in the kitchen with an raised eyebrow..as always any plans to surprise him in food section gets busted easily.. so i was caught red handed with the baking cake..

when the cake was ready to removed out from the cooker.. i realized that the dish in which i poured the batter inside the cooker had gotten tilted and water in the cooker had flowed into the vessel.. so cake wasn as i expected it.. but the boy munched on it anyways...

Boy took me valentine shopping in the noon and i ended up picking two jeans and one capris ( aha sale season... i just love this month for too many reasons ;).. )..
One of boy's friends got this complimentary passes for place called i-bar for the evening... so we ended up over there .. nothing like a good music and a round of drinks n dinner with friends on a valentine evening. It was perfect double date.. clicked too many crazy snaps..

The most embarrassing part of the evening was...me n boy's friend sheetal, wanted to teach these guys how to give a salsa dip pose for the photo.. she tried to dip me and was unable to take my weight **FYI- I weigh only 50 kgs.. please dont think otherwise**.. which resulted in a near fall and boy saving us both on time from the big crash... all the while i was laughing my heart out.(can say results of a two very strong cocktails... ) Reached home by 12 and it felt like the entire day had just passed on in a fast-forward flow..

Anyways tell me guys how did your international-day-of-love go????


PS: Woke up at 7:30 with a heavy heart.. n now at office.. as usual with a fresh set of Monday blues....
I HATE MONDAY MORNINGS :( ....

Month that reads love....

Caution: Mushy post ahead.. not advisable for boys!!!!

So begins the week of love.. whats on your mind this time???

I somewhere once read... there doesn have to a special month or week or a day for love.. yup thats very true.. but i wonder how many of us committed or rather married people among us do something extraordinary for our loved ones daily, unless it happens to be their birthdays or its an anniversary..

and with us married people out there.. cupid seems to have flown away..

Last year me and the boy were both looking forward for Feb 14th... love was totally in the air for us both...spent the entire day together.. there would be lot of surprises for the day.. we crossed our usual get-back-home-time deadlines put at us from both the houses and stayed out till almost 12.. but this year it looked like the enthusiasm had reduced..

So i have decided to hunt the cupid and get his ass arrows down on us.... well me n boy both have started spreading love with help of farming in FB.. boy has started drawing love signs for me and i have been drawing hearts in my farm..
lols i know that's very wacky of us.. but at times it feels good to be called a fool in love...

I have also decided to leave lovey-dovey messages for the boy this entire week... so here's one ...


There is something about u that makes me and my world go round n round n round...
makes me wake up each morning with a smile.....
and makes my each day amazing!!!

Knotted up!

Goodness seems like ages since i last dropped in here ....I swear i have a very valid reason for not showing up here... listen me out guys... well the reason for the absence is that i got myself engaged :D.... ya ya.. to a boy only :) ... a very adorable guy too :) ... hope am excused now :) ....
wondering why i mentioned "ya ya.. to a boy only :)" ....

Well here's the reason...

I call up my friend Fio to tell her i am getting engaged and this how she reacts...

Me: hey fio.. guess what?? am getting engaged :) !!!
Fio: What ??!!?? To Whom ??!!?? To a Boy ???!!???

*Well i never gave any expressions or hints saying i like girls :) .. wonder what crossed her mind :) *

So here's to say am engaged now :) ...

I warn you.. getting engaged is not an easy task....

People here are some tips and tricks for all the those who are planing for an engagement sometime in their future ...

* Have a heavy breakfast in the morning.. cos you have absolutely no idea when you are gonna get lunch and if the lunch will be left by the time you get to it.

* Practice to smile in front of the mirror a week before.. cos you might end looking all grumpy and fake smiled in the photos and video later..

* Also practice the "foot touch" or the "paay lago"... you end up touching at least some thirty feet by the end of the day...

* Never say no to people who offer you a cool drink or juice when you are on the podium.. cos after 5 minutes you may end up realizing that your upper jaw has just gone very dry and can barely smile or talk anymore....

* Please do not frown when all your Mother's friends end up on the podium (especially the boys).... you mite end up with a huge frown in the video....

* Stay away from photographers as much as possible... they can track you down and make you pose funnily for all your single snaps....

* If someone wishes you happy married life at the engagement... Please don reply back saying 'this is only my engagement.. am not married yet'.. can leave the person wondering if there will be a wedding too or not ....

* Do not keep staring at kids eating ice-cream from the podium... its your engagement day and there are more people looking at you then assumed...

* Once you get the chance to eat after the engagement, dont just grab onto your food and never look above the plate.. you might end up looking like a glutton in the videos and photos...


Recommended for the girls eyes only...

* Dont ever let the boy ask you "will you marry me?" with the engagement ring in his hand before the engagement.. Thats cheating.. since he depriving you of a very romantic proposal....

* Also beware of the relatives with too many opnions regarding the saree and makeup..if you let them take over, You might just end up with a lot of jasmine flowers on your head...

* Also for girls who are not used to wearing and managing sarees.. please be careful since you may end up having a wardrobe malfunction on the podium, if your saree is not pinned down properly.( nay now dont sit and think that i had a wardrobe malfunction.. just a warning :) ).



Well if anyone married/unmarried/engaged/to-be-engaged/very-much-single has any tips or tricks to be added, are very much encouraged to leave in a comment :) ....

Innocence of Love!

She sat there on the steps in front of her house, head rested on her legs, gazing at the door of the house across the road. She had seen a tall girl walk into that house earlier. The tall girl had been frequently visiting his house nowadays. He always had a pleasant smile on his face whenever he opened the door for the tall girl. Even his mom seemed to be fond of that girl.

She remembered the first time she had seen him. Her family had newly moved into that street and he with his mom had come to her house to get acquainted. The moment he had seen her, he had stretched his hand out and introduced himself as Keith. She had stood there looking like a frozen sculpture, staring at him, until her mother had reminded her name was Kim. He thought she was a shy girl and had told her so. By then she knew for sure that she was in love with him.

Now she looked at the tall girl walk out of his door. He too was right behind her. Kim couldn stop smiling to herself looking at him. He was such a handsome boy. She had made up her mind that she would ask him to marry her someday. Suddenly Keith was standing very close to the tall girl and whispering in her ear. The tall girl was giggling as she walked out of the gate. Kim felt like crying. So she told herself to be brave and put a smile on her face.

Since the tall girl had already left, Kim decided to put up a brave front and go to Keith's house to tell him about her feelings for him. As she walked across to his house she decided all the things she would tell him. She was praying that the tall girl would never come back here again. She rang the bell and stood there memorizing all the words she would tell him. But when Keith opened the door, she forgot all her memorized lines and stood there just staring at him. She was very nervous now. Looking at her dazed face, he realized something very serious was running in her mind and called her in. She shook her head and told him that she would prefer sitting on the swing in the porch. She sat next to him staring down at the floor, busy fidgeting her fingers.

"So whats running in your mind sweetlin?" he asked her.

He would always tease and call her with such sweet nicknames. That was what had made her confident about his love for her. But now there was that tall girl in his life and he had hardly spoken to her since a week.
She sat there, her mind gone all blank.

"Who is that tall girl Keith?", She asked
"She is my special someone sweetlin" he replied.

Now she was fuming with anger at Keith for calling the tall girl special someone.

"What am i then?" she asked.

"You are my darling!" He replied.
"You know i dont like that tall girl. I love you!" She quietly said tears rolling down her pretty cheeks, staring at the floor unable to look at him.

Keith hugged her tightly and told her,

"My little angel, you are just 9 years old. You are too young to learn anything about love. one fine day you will grow up and learn the real magic surrounding it"
Little did he know that she would always consider him her first love ....


When you are young, Love is innocent,
In your teen, love turns into excitement,
As you grow older, you learn that love becomes a commitment!

Happy Valentines day people! :)

Love All !

Hello people.. how are you all doing?
Hope all of you out there are being good and staying out of trouble :) ..

So its a valentine week .. hoping most of you are having some big plans for Saturday.. this week i dedicate all my posts to love, friendship and a little bit of Mr Muthalik too ( how can we talk about love and not include him now)..

Mr Muthalik and gang have decided that they wont allow any valentine celebration around, and are planing on marrying off any couple spotted on the V-day. Now isn't that good guys, come on.. you are saving lots of money here, otherwise needed for extravagant wedding and more over couples who are struggling to get the big "yes" from their folks need not worry anymore.. Mr Muthalik is making it very easy for you guys :) ... Just get married and blame it on Mr Muthalik...

You all must have heard about The Pink Chaddi Campaign... I am gonna make my contribution to this society too and now i am a proud member of the Consortium of pubgoing, loose and forward women.

You too can join in guys and start donating your old torn ones to Mr Muthalik.. The Pink Chaddi Campaign have now announced that they are not going to discriminate based on color and can donate any color undies.. so i say... its time to clean your wardrobe .... search and dig out for your ole holed ones and start donating guys...

You can get more info over that over here ...

Mr Muthalik now says that “The move of some women to present pink chaddis reflects their mindset" and has decided to give back sarees as return gifts.

Well sir i would like to thank you for thinking about return gifts too and talking about mindset... hmmm lets just get into a little bit of flash back and ask him again "Beating and trashing women in public...What sort of mind set do you think that reflects about your personality now"...

That was enough of love show for Mr Muthalik from me...

Moments that bring on the warm smile ...

Guys i scribbled down a few moments in life which brings on the warm mushy mushy smile on to our faces....

* Hearing a phone ring or message beep when you are totally bored to death.

* The very first rain of every monsoon season after a scorching hot summer.

* Curling up in bed and knowing that you don't have wake up till ten or so on weekends.

* The smell of food being bought to you in a restaurant, when your stomach can no longer take the hungry growls.

* The sight of your entire house lite up with candles during diwali.

* The smile on your folks face when they are tasting a new recipe of your's.

* Waking up to bright sunny morning after days of gloominess due to monsoons.

* Thought of the weekend ahead after a tiring Friday.

* Watching the lightening with friends at midnight.

* Old friends with whom you have literally lost contact calling you up on birthday and giving the ultimate surprise.

* Reading the cheeky mushy messages we all get at times.

* Looking at the huge colorful rockets that burst and lite up the sky right above your heads.

* Watching the huge chunks of clouds and the rains come in, from the balcony.

* Licking on ice candies during rainy season.

* The double chilled watermelon juice or sugarcane juice you drink after a heavy summer shopping.

* Finding the very accessory or a dress you had been searching for ages.

* And then again the satisfied smile on your face after paying for it, that it is finally yours.

* Looking out at the rains and drinking soup.

* Sitting at a beach and looking out at the sunset.

* The smile on the babies face when you are carrying them around.

* Listening to your mom breathe, when you have made her to sleep next to you after watching some crazy horror movie.

* The Kiss at the end of every romantic flick.

* The very thought that there are people around you who really really care for you.

* Finding old hidden money in your bag or jeans when you are desperately searching for coins in the bus and the conductor is yelling at you.

* The very first sight of your parents when you came back home after staying out for a very long time.

* Times when old grannies or aunties say "Hope you get what you want in life".

* The surprise birthday cakes made for you or the surprise gifts you get when you least expect it.

* Reading this blog when am all brain drained out at work.

* Napping on grany's lap out on the veranda and admiring the starry sky.

* Blowing out bubbles from soap water along with the kidoo cousins.


Wish could freeze all these moments forever!!!!

PS:

* And more recently i get this smile when i see that there has been a comment written for my scribblings on this blog :) !!!!!

Single Again !

Three phases of the Single Again Syndrome...

* The First Phase *

This phase starts right after the very next moment of the breakup! The very crucial period and you are in a hopelessly sober state.

Symptoms: Individuals with blood shot eyes - results of extensively pouring your heart out, People who appear to be living in their very own lost world, The one's with ability to burst into tears anywhere and everywhere, Also people who think that drinking is the best way to bury one's grief!

Prescription for Syndrome: Avoid happy couples, Stay at least 100 mts away from the location - where you had been with your X-factor, Please stack up all the Souvenir and cards and photos you have got till now in a gunny bag and hide them somewhere - where you cant reach easily, And try not to check your cell every five minutes!

OK jokes apart guys!!!

Real pain of the soul going through this tunnel of breakup, can only be actually experienced by the ones who have been there. Nothing seems to be alright during this phase. You have absolutely no mood to work, your mind keeps wandering back to some soothing flashbacks, no appetite for food, and a good night's sleep seems to be just a very ancient dream. Basically you have just removed the words happy, cheerful, bright, satisfied from your dictionary. Hangouts like mall's, cinema hall's, pubs, where you see all these couples walking hand in hand, arms around each others waist, and couples beaming at each other, start creeping the hell out of you. You keep checking your mobile for calls, messages or even a single missed call and keep hoping the name of your X-factor glows out, whenever the mobile gets back to life. Worst case scenario is when you spot someone who resembles the X-factor and all the mushy feeling stored inside you, just flows out like the broken dam. The only thing you do in this phase is think about your X-factor infinity times in a single day.


* The Second Phase *

This phase starts after a week or a month or a year ( for some exceptional cases, it can start right after a day, a two or even three hours)
This is when you start socializing again, and you are not as freaked as you were before, gawking at the happy couples. You are now finally back in the flirting game and can now have a decent discussion about your X-factor without having to burst into tears.


* The Third Phase *

This is the most exceptional and worst phase, from which we all try to escape given a chance. It happens only when you have completely moved on from your X-factor and from whom you haven heard in ages. Suddenly out of no-where the X-factor appears in front of you and bloody all those lost feeling just happen to fall out , back into its old adobe out of nowhere...

And all you can say is " God! why me!! pleaaaaseeee no way! Not again! "
