Turning over a new leaf

Starting today....
To bring on the much needed discipline in life :-)

Bye bye 2009...Hello 2010!

It just seems like yesterday when I celebrated the new year eve of 2009 and it's 2010 already. Don't you sometimes feel that time seems to be moving by more quickly?

Another year gone now. Bye bye 2009! You have been one helluva year for me. Some of the best things happened and some not so great - few surprises and disappointments - some losses and hope - some ups and downs - laughter and tears . I think you have given me one of the best learning experiences I could ever get.

Hello 2010! I am really looking forward to all that you have in store for me :-)

Have a good twenty ten folks!

You realize...

It hurts only when
someone else
does it to you.

Restaurant blues

We had been to this popular South Indian fast food restaurant near our place this weekend. It is well known in the area for its homely food at reasonable pricing and sees a lot of crowd.

We were half way through our dinner, when my husband noticed a teeny-weeny thing floating in the sambar. Initially we thought it was a piece of coriander leaf. But wait, no...on closer examination, we could see the wings and the legs...eeeeks....it was actually a ROACH!  It was  totally appalling and we couldn't believe what we were seeing . We just lost our appetite and left the place.

Now, if you were in a similar situation, what would you have done?
1. Complain about this to the hotel manager
2. Raise an issue and try get your money back
3. Leave the place and resolve never ever to go there again.
4. Rant about it in your blog and may be write some bad reviews online about the restaurant.

I felt we should have atleast done #1 if not #2. But we just did #3 and walked away. And yeah, I am doing #4 now.

Newly wed et al

I am not quite sure how long you get to keep the newly wed title. You know....how it feels so good to call yourself a newly wed, get a little shy and grab some attention . I thought I could get away with it atleast for a couple of years...until yesterday when I met an old colleague. After the brief  hi-s and hello-s,  I mentioned to him about me getting married recently. And he goes,

"Whoa....congratulations, how long have you been married now ?"
"Five months"
"Well...you are almost still a newly married then"

And I thought, "ALMOST" !!! It's only been five months now, and I am already "almost-newly married". HUH.

So folks, what do you think? How long do you think you  can call someone a newly wed?  I guess I am gonna keep this title atleast for a couple of years :-)

Resurrection

Hello there,

Today, out of nowhere, I suddenly had this urge to resurrect my blog. I logged on to blogger and  sweeping aside all the cobwebs that had set in this blog since the last 1.5 years, started wading through it. It was kinda funny reading my own posts after so long. Some of them were silly, some plain boring, some did not make much sense to me...may be I kinda lost the context. But I really did enjoy reading them. And, I do feel now that I should get back to some regular blogging and start writing for myself :-)

So, how is all of you hanging around in the blogosphere doing these days?

-Dushti

My dear blog

I know it's been some time
since I wrote any rhyme
those silly verses or prose
or poems quite morose

Little did I care
and left you threadbare
thought I should bid adieu
but just couldn't do it to you

So I am back here now
and this time I vow
my silly blog of one year,
I will not disappear :-)

Globetrotting

Site meter statistics:
I am read in countries
I'll never visit.

Quit chennai ?

During my recent trip to India, I was most welcomed by these intriguing hoardings in Madras. Folks there, any idea what's with this cryptic call ? Is the mystery out yet?

Monday blues

I hate mondays...
...especially when they come after sundays ;-)

I hate it some more...
...when I wake up on a monday to realize that I am back from my awesome vacation to a different city/country

I hate it the most...
...when it's a monday and it's my b'day
Happy b'day to me !

Happy 2008

Happy new year everyone
Here's to it being a great one !

All rhyme, no reason

I want
a box of truffle
a brand new duffel
a house by the beach
some prunes and wild peach
looks that could kill
a vacation in brazil
a cute new hairdo
an ultra cool tattoo
all day shine
cheese,crackers and wine
an hour long shower
no withering flower
fantasy dream
diamonds that gleam
some vodka with lime
to make a better rhyme

Happy for no reason ??!!

Okay. This post is in total contradiction to my earlier post. Have you ever had one of those days when you are totally happy and happy for no reason at all ? I am having one of those days. I just feel so good today but have no idea why. Nothing great has happened today, nothing bad has happened either and I still can't figure out why I am feeling this way. But I am just all smiles and super exuberant. I guess sometimes it's alright to not reason much but just live the moment.

Hope all you guys are feeling as good as I am :-)

Just one of those days ?!

Have you ever had one of those days ? You know the kind I am talking about, when you feel like you have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. One of those days when your energy is at its lowest ebb all day long and everything you do goes totally haywire. I seem to be having too many of them lately. Man, I need a break from the daily grind thats grinding me down. I need a vacation. Seriously.

My orkut fortune for the day

Today's fortune: Good news will be brought to you by mail

Folks, please to mail me the good news.
I'm waiting :D

Happy Diwali

Ever since one of my teachers in middle school gave us the gyan of not to buy crackers during diwali because young children were forced to work in sivakasi for making them, me and a few of my friends have been boycotting them. The restraint to not buy/fire them used to be a pride thingy between us friends then. But slowly over the years, the interest also kinda faded off and I guess it has been more than a decade now since I actually indulged.

This morning, I was talking to a friend back in India and came to know that sivakasi now comes with those 'child labor free' stickers on crackers. I so wish I were in India now and blasting those crackers to glory ! Anyways, Happy Diwali, you all folks. Have a good one.

Optimism and Stupidity

They say, it's a fine line between optimism and stupidity and I just keep crossing it ! Sometimes I wonder if being overly optimistic is just inanely stupid ! Any thoughts ?

Duh !

A colleague's birthday and everyone is wondering why my smiley on the birthday card is enclosed in brackets. Guess this is what happens when one spends too much time on orkut. Me and my orkut addiction. Duh ! Somebody please help me get over this !

Kids these days!

My friend's 7 year old niece D to her dad

D: Appa,why do you go to the office ?
Dad: Only then will I get money.
D: Adhaan ATM la card pottaale kaasu varudhe...eduku office pora ?
Dad: ????!!!!

Brilliant, I say !

PS: I don't think I could have ever come up with such a thing when I was 7 ;-)
