Meeting old friends after a while, sometime with fresh additions, be it spouses or the kids is a wonderful experience and a bit frustrating too .I keep hoping that I will the meet the person I knew 10-12 years ago ..i keep hoping that the values have not changed fundamentals have not changed whatever change the circumstances and the years have brought will be full of happiness, learning and maturity ..that kind of change I am hoping for not the kind which creates distance sadness bitterness I keep on hoping that we will be ourselves and will not pretend to be anyone else we wont mind voicing our opinions I hope these people wont mind telling me where I am going wrong and wont mind same from me I will understand their changing priorities and they will understand mine and yes there wont be any judgements .
We might have been apart for a while geographically .and haven't been great at keeping in touch regularly we might have grown up to be different individuals with distinct preferences styles natures .choices but I keep on hoping we will pick up from where we left .with ease .I will be me when I am with them .i wont carry any baggage, I wont be judged as 'wife of that person' or 'daughter of someone' ..I can say so many things and sometimes I don't even have to say .things will be understood .I am me .and that's amazing feeling .

I dont remember the last time when i was so emotionally attached to an international sports player…but then Roger Federer is not just a player…he is the phenomenon..and when he broke down after loss in Aus Open Finals, the toughest of the guys on the earth had tears in their eyes…well…nothing to take away from rafael nadal…he played like a champion….and he deserved to win it…and he also showed what a great human being he is….but when a loss evokes that kind of emotion not only among followers but also his critics…you know that Fedex is not just another tennis player…take a break fedex…and come back stronger…we know you will…

I discovered something new today….in the morning i was getting ready to go out…and suddenly i realized the keys are nowhere to be found…the first thing that came to my mind was…oh…my 2.5 year daughter was playing with them just the other day….and i just started scolding her…at the same time frantically searching for the keys…one set of keys was with my husband who was away on a business trip….panic set in…i was so sure about the whole thing…my daughter has misplaced the keys for sure….then after 10/15 min of anxiety i found the keys in the drawer of my room where i usually keep the keys…a simple matter really….i just lost my cool and panicked…and blamed my daughter like anything…poor soul was standing and staring at me during the whole episode…and probably wondering ‘whats wrong with mummy’ or ‘no..mummy…i didnt misplace them’….discovering something new about yourself is a treat most of the time…today was different…normally cool and composed ‘me’ panicked…not a great feeling…

read something interesting today…an experiment was carried out with a group of people….consider this problem….there is a candle on the table….and there are some matchsticks lying around the candle….plus we have some drawing pins/push pins kept in a open paper box….we are in a room…..so the problem is how to put the candle on the wall using the tools you have…candle must be perpendicular to the ground….what do u think?….somebody come up with the answer…but after a long delay…and he was the only person who come up with this solution…
take out the drawing pins from the box….fix the box to the wall with the drawing pins…thus the box become a horizontal surface parallel to the ground….then melt some candle wax and fix the candle in the box….and then light with matchsticks…
do u know why nobody else could come up with this answer….? because almost everyone didnt take the box as a tool into consideration…they were thinking the box was just a box holding the drawing pins and not the tool to be used in the problem….
interesting…isnt it?

another day…..another site…same city…mumbai rocked again….another terrorist attack…is this going to stop one day or its just going to continue one after another…just the last night i was thinking why dont i write about the important social things happening around me…about the women raping….terrorist attacks…global recession….the reason i thought was….i just wasnt capable enough to write…but that doesnt mean i dont think about these things….these terror attacks…how lucky we are…have you ever thought….we could have been there…near the blast site….in the hotel….it could have happened just round the corner from where u r sitting…standing..walking…sleeping….ur near & dear one could have been there….and a chill runs down the spine….what if my luck runs out next time…it sure will run out on one such ghastly day….they say…’zendagi migzara….life must go on’….and i find solace in the quote…at least today it wasnt me….

so….its that time of the year again…when sourav ‘dada’ ganguly’s fate hangs in balance….yet again…tomorrow’s selection meeting is going to be crucial for him…what if they dont select him for the tour…will he be ready to hang his boots? is he still willing to fight? …..brainy side of my mind says he should call it quits…seriously..he’s been ridiculed enough already….
but there’s a funny side of my mind which doesnt want him to go…i know i am an emotional fool..but cricket wont be same again for me if he goes…life won’t be same again….
and so…unable to decide…i am keeping my fingers crossed…for whatever happens tomorrow…

i was wondering….what did u look for when u give a gift…what r ur criteria?
there must be at least 2/3 points…when i tried to think it thro..i came up with many…thats strictly my perception though…
so here it goes…not necessarily in that order…
1. what that person means to you…
2. the occasion…of course
3. Is that useful in some sort of way?
4. Are u sure…that person will like ur gift?
5. there has to b some sort of special element, surprize element in the gift..
and if not in gift..then in the way of giving, place of giving anything at all…anything that makes that gift double special
6. it must hv personal touch..i mean writing ur name & the name of the person to whom u r gifiting is imp for me..some people find it interesting to omit their names…i dont..i prefer to write some sort of message along with the gift.
7. it should not be a burden on the other person…not in the monetary sense…not in any other sense…

i am in a dilemma….make no mistake i am a crazy follower of cricket…i love cricket in every form…10 overs…20 overs…50 overs…test cricket….i even like the insect ‘cricket’…..:)
but whom to support in IPL? being a maharashtrian, i should support them….but i am an ardent fan of dada…so my heart is with him…wherever he plays…and to add to agony there r so many stars playing in diff teams…this IPL tamasha giving me headaches….

so thats it…bhajji slapped sreeshanth and banned for IPL…whats worst….he loses 3 crores…
still my heart goes to bhajji…he is a straight from heart man…what you see is what you get…is quite temperamental…doesnt know how to behave in any other manner…is not politically correct at any time…
so mumbai’s agony continues….the icon player is not fit yet…and the other influential player will sit out of rest of the matches….
