2 phone calls and an amazing week...

Its amazing how much a voice can convey..apart from whats being said. In past 2 weeks i had 2 such conversations over phone which made me feel like...WOW!!

First one was more emotional and sentimental at the same time very positive and heartwarming. The distance of several thousand kilometers was nonexistent for the entire duration of the call and even after that call it still feels the same. I am happy for the day i got introduced to "People Network" through which we made our acquaintance and me the forever greedy would pray for more such days. What began as a call to console soon turned out to be the best motivational talk i ever had. That person recounted incidents from their personal life and how they overcame it to be what they are now. It was touching and a rare gesture that i felt so happy that they were kind enough to share it with me. It immediately shook me out of my gloom and i was soon back to normal. I am indebted to that person for that call and for the support provided and feel honored at the same time for the trust on me to share their most personal feeling.

The second call was much more recent and was funny too in a way.) It was more like a (midnight) wakeup call for my conscience :) and made me realize a totally different perspective on my otherwise unidirectional sense of thought. That person read an article from a famous weekly magazine which was tallying with what has been going on in my life for the past few weeks, but in an almost 360 degree different angle :) I was being continuously urged since last wednesday to get a copy of that magzine and since i couldnt get my hands on one, she was kind enough to read out the passage to me. Even if i had managed to read it on my own, i doubt if it would've had that effect on me. In a clear unquavering voice, with crystal clear diction, and in a tone which would've made the author proud, i got to hear the contents. And there were pauses in the middle to explain those portions which were meant for me and her perspective on them. It always feel wonderful when people care for you and its even more special when they go to this length to ensure that message is delivered. I feel humbled by the amount of faith which they have on me and it makes me want to feel more responsible.

I can't think of a way to repay these kind gestures. Just be there for me, like now, always. Can't have enough of you :)

Last week turned out to be the best of this year :) with still more than a dozen to go i can safely say it would continue to top the charts for me. Doting sisters, caring friends, wonderful colleagues, a very special person to add to the list - and i am not done yet :) "Mugavari" is my all time fav Ajith movie. There is one dialog in that, "Nammala suthi irukaravanga ellam naama nalla irukanumnu nenaikaravanala iruntha atha vida vera enna venum lifela". Me at such a phase of my life. Last weekend went to one mokka movie with the gang and more than the movie the kind of pranks which the folks did, made it more worthwhile to watch :) The movie was about college kids and there we were, behaving even more kiddish than the actual kids :) The nine hour outing went in a whiff. Remembered the song "On a day like today...you never wanna see the sun go down" (by Bryan adams?) Thank u guys for all those wonderful time and happy memories.

Best romantic dialogues..EVER

Love and Freedom of expression in times of Sena wud've been apt title for this post :) Thought i would watch MNIK and post its review to show my protest. Since i couldn't i settled for watching re-runs of the usual mushy movies which they show year after year in Star and HBO. I was waiting for Nottinghill, Harry met sally, Autumn in NY, Sweet November, You've got mail and Pretty woman. Surprisingly except for the last one, none of the other movies featured in any of the channels!!! Maybe the channel guys themselves got bored :D Anyways..these movies have become part and parcel of my movie watching gene that i've mugged up most of their dialogues by now :D Here are some for you to cherish and enjoy. Without googling..let me see how many of these you can identify and how many more you could add :) " I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out, I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich, I love that you get a little crinkle above your no...

Enna koduma saaar ithu!!!!

We are a group of 5 who share our apartment. Usually me and one more guy are the last to the leave the house everyday morning. Yesterday, the one who used to leave first for office, didnt come home till 11. I went to sleep after the usual book reading session at around 11.30. When i woke up i saw it was only me who was still lying on the mat while even the guy who leaves for office along with me, had already started folding his bed!! I was feeling very tired and sleepy and was in two minds whether i should take off or go late. Still managed to crawl..brushed teeth half sleeping and swtiched on the geyser. I turned back to see, suddenly it was pitch dark outside the bathroom!! Since the light was On inside, it wasnt power cut and i came out to see what was wrong. The guy who folded his bed, had moved to the hall and was again asleep!! Then only i noticed, it was dark outside the balcony too!!! I checked the time. It was 3AM!!! BOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! SOB SOB SOB!!! That useless guy afterwards ...

Babies day out :D

Last sunday went for my friend's kid 2nd bday party. They had invited all their neighbours and other friends to club it as a getogether event. In 2 days time their kid had grown so fond of me that the moment he saw me came running to me and took me to his new friends for intro :) I dunno what he told them in his broken language. But considering the after effects i guess it must've been something like below. "Yaruda ithu" one of the kids ask this guy "machaan..oru allakkai maatirukaan..freeya irunthena sollu..aala paatha anju farex dabbava oray gulpla adikaravan mathiri irukaan..evlo imsai pannalum thaanguvaan nenakren" "apdiya..test panni pathiruvom" Ten thousand blue blistering barnacles and thundering typhoons to all those parents who didnt come to the resuce of hapless gils. Adutha 1 hour..thenara thenara gummi. One is pulling my specs..another one climbing on my shoulders..two of them playing sarukku maram on my legs..one scientist kid did some...
