Come Back!!!

Ok, Making a come back here after almost 3 months. Was super busy with work, friends and life. I did not plan anything but just went with the flow and fortunately it couldn't be better. Last few days specially were super fun.

Chennai..i always wanted to leave this place after a year but it never happens when you want something desperately isn't it? Although i am not complaining much on this as my life in chennai is much more interesting thanks to special people in my life now. I am staunch believer of the saying that its not the place but the company.

Raining tonight..first rain of the season which is the major contributor in forcing me to write something..first rain feels special isn't it..brings back lots of good memories..makes new memories as well..Chennai is not that hot today..hasn't been hot since 2-3 months now :-)

Nothing much in my mind right now..Haven't been thinking much lately.in one of those phases where your mind takes a back seat and heart controls you.Lets see where this wave of happiness and contentment takes me..Playing this song..and thinking to crash now..

With more soon

Winds of Change!!

Dear God..i don't know if you exist..but would like to thank you for awesome 2-3 weeks i had this month. Great time at work..out of work..good friends..and an awesome companion. Can't believe i am having time of my life. Things started to change after 25th Dec..the christmas day. I am high now without a drop of alcohol :) ..happy and contended. I hope the direction i am moving to turns out to be the best for me..Same old feeling..same old happiness..same old goosebumps..same old songs..never thought life would give me another chance in such a splendid way..ofcourse i was more thoughtful initially but loosing my mind now..i guess this is what happens isn't it?

Lossing sleep all over again and i am happy about it..smiling in the morning as i wake up..excited to go to office..

Don't understand a word from above? Samjhne wale samajh gaye hai..jo na samjhe woh anari hai..

"Why do people come when they have to go back??" A girl with tears in her eyes used to ask me 3 yrs back. I used to feel the pain in her voice which used to crush me from inside and my heart cried as i use to travel back to my workplace from her city. I was reminded of this thought this week but for a change i was at the receiving end. No No...i don't have any one in my life yet but this post is being written as i stare at empty walls and my thoughts struggle to come out. My parents were here for a week and left yesterday. I was surprised as this was their second visit since i am out of my home. First one wasn't as we had wanted..3 yrs later they were in chennai just for my birthday..My father took a week off, mom with only mission to fix my new rented house with all household things. & days flew with lots of shopping, fun times, awesome home cooked food and lot of soothing times. Had a very nice birthday with family and close friends. Threw me back to those wonderful school times when my birthday was a special day with my father and brother decorating the house..no homework..and lots of good dishes prepared by my mom.Party in the evening with school friends best part being the gifts :p

We don't realize how lucky we are to have parents with us who are always with us in our good and bad times. They are happy when we are and sadder when we are sad. I could see the sense of relief when my house was set. I woke up sunday morning at 7 but didn't leave the bed and just watched them for sometime. I was going to lose this sight for 3-4 months now. Why did they come here? I was better off..was the only thought..


Now today i am all alone and i feel terrible but these 7 days were best i had since long long time.

One more post to follow on this..

Happy New Year

Starting with wishing one and all a very happy and prosperous new year. What a week it has been. After 2006 i have had a amazing Christmas and wonderful new years eve. Thanks to my new friends who i find very good, and very interesting as well.

Came to know a wonderful person on Christmas day and was with her on new year eve as well. Went to a place closeby to the beach, and partied till 1 am. Not quite well i had expected but wasn't that bad either. In All What a way to end and start a new year. I know this year will be very important for me personally and professionally. I hope things turn up right..till then fingers crossed.

Empty head!!!

Back from the vacation as yes this sucks..so i am gonna rant here for bit :-)

The holidays were superb and what better than home food and no work to do. Wish i could have more holidays.

During my stay i was pretty disappointed by the display of civic sense by majority of the people. The spending power has increased rapidly in last few years and now more and more people have access to better resources which is very good but may be they have to learn how to keep their feet on the ground. My experience on different counts ranged from funny, scary to disgusting. Indore has changed a lot now..people don't follow rules..do not believe in queues..do not respect others..may be that has to do a lot with people from smaller cities have migrated to Indore..nothing against this..and NO..i am not supporter of Raj Thackrey..but only thing is they have to mix in the city and make it more beautiful rather than breaking rules and make it impossible to live in..or may be..i am used to live in metros..

In a fix right now..have a offer for a very good finance company located in Hyderabad..and in the mean time doing well in current organization, got through a certification course which holds good value..so not sure which one to choose..i might need some advice..the hyd company offer is too good..not sure what to do..

Heard this song..and is in mind from some time now..

Agony!!!

12.30 am now as i stare at the clock right across the hall which seems to be mocking at me. Last 2-3 days have been emotionally draining. I am at my home since a week now and as usual my parents were ready with the list of prospective girls. Home trip was always a relaxing holiday for me but has been more challenging now from last 2-3 occasions. I don't blame my parents but i still feel arrange marriage is not my cup of tea. After giving me a much needed breather i was made to meet a girl with very different name. First look was not very exciting but i have grown from the phase where looks mattered much..i spoke to her and felt she was very smart and spoke well. Her tiring look spoke well about the journey she had in amazing Andamans. My parents were not convinced enough but i insisted to have another meeting..and wanted to know her more. How can you decide something important as this in single meeting? I called her and decided to meet her today. Met her at the CCD where we had very good conversation. She appeared sweet, innocent and friendly. I enjoyed talking to her. I somehow felt i gave her some positive signals but it was more of a friendly talk. I like girls who respond well and have good sense of humour. We had coffee and headed straight to a popular food joint where she saw me gorging on a amazing hotdog (not in literal sense :) but is made out of omelette and bread). She accompanied me in my car where i dropped her back to CCD where she had her vehicle parked. As we waved each other goodbye, i knew everybody back home would be waiting for my reaction..as i drove back..i somehow didn't feel the magic..which i would feel for my prospective bride (the click moment..yes still believe in it). Am i expecting more?

Sorry S....you are very good person and i wish you could remain my friend..you are perfect but may be i am looking for some imperfection to match mine..wish you all the best and happiness..

Tomorrow as my mom would make it official by refusing their proposal my heart would sink..i really hate to say NO..i just cant. May be this is part of the game and have to say NO until its YES..but this game is dirty and i hate it..

Going the Distance!!!

Ok, Changed the blog URL.

Coincidently i watched a movie called as "Going the Distance" which i watched for sole purpose of having Drew Barrymore in it. Big fan..i think she is one of the most beautiful actress in entire Hollywood. Very nice movie, based on long distance relationships and how the "distance" causes problems in a seemingly confident couple.Two highly career oriented individuals in a relationship with a bit of ego are put in such a situation..results mostly in a breakup which actually happened in the movie. In the end, the guy realizes how he can better manage his career and get closer to her lost love whom he was madly in love with.

This story is pretty much similar to my life and sometimes could relate few scenes as well. A must watch for people who are in such relationships. The bottom line here was that someone has to giveup his/her ego and realize that how important it is to be with someone who is everything to you. There can be lot of misunderstandings when there is distance between the two. But you have to learn to trust the person...There are indeed lot of challenges but those need to be overcome with love for eachother. I have learned this hard way.

Happy weeks in progress..after working hard for almost a month, we successfully finished our project and received much deserved appreciation as a team. December is usually lesser work and more fun for almost everyone. Kerela trip on the cards and then finally to Indore for 2 weeks. If everything goes fine..there could be travel during 31st december weekend as well. Looking forward to all these plans..

Leaving with the song from Going the distance:
