I am back

well people, I promised to write a post a day but was prevented to do so because of my conked net connection. Finally after almost a month of cajoling the router wala, he came a couple of days back and the net is working fine(for the time being atleast).. so from now on i'll try to put up a post a day pakka se
I got back from home today after a lazy weekend of sleeping till the afternoon and hour long walks on the terrace.
The bus ride was as stuffy, filthy and thought invoking as ever. Somehow, when I sit in the bus amidst all that dust and noise(which I block out with the help of my headphones) and the unrelenting crush of crashing bodies, it is the time when i have my most creative ideas..
may be i withdraw to some higher state.. I don't know, its just that sometimes I lose complete track of what's going around me in the bus and go somewhere else..
anyway.. got a couple of new ideas on this ride.. will try to turn them into stories
even wrote this really mast poem in the drafts of my cell phone.. and was going to post it today.. which brings me to the sad part of my day my cellphone fell off the bed today and the lcd screen cracked.. making it impossible to see a thing.. so now i can't post the poem and my cell is useless :( :( :(
thats all for the day
catch u guys 2morrow

Words are all i have...

a disheveled bed at 1pm..
salaam namaste ..
sweat drenched blue and silver badminton racket..
icy cold water..
softly pampering turquoise robe..
Nelly Furtado crooning Maneater..
a creaking bed under dancing bare feet..
paints and fevicol...
off key birthday jingles..
cards and words from a loving heart...
sleep at last..

PS: was supposed to post it on sunday, but before i could, the net stopped working, so am posting it today

about today... I felt Invisible.. just like the unnoticed tears in my eyes..

Women's Day

8th march
women's day
and boy did I have an out and out females only day.. you bet!!
As it so happens, Microsoft decided to hold a nation drive hunt for women employees.
So I along with a few of my friends decided to give it a shot. If nothing else, it was a a great opportunity for a little picnic to Delhi.
So off we went to Janakpuri, a cabfull of women(read girls!!!) and a good-for-nothing driver to test our fortunes at Microsoft. Of course none of us knew the way, who had bothered to ask for directions dude? no-one!!
But thanks to N.G's boyfriend M.D who happens to know every street gali nukkad of Delhi better than the back of his hand, and their trusted free Tata Indicom connection, we managed to reach the venue in time, only to find a throng of some 3000+ girls... and lines reaching almost to the end of the ground.
Off we went scanning every line for a familiar face so as to make her our newest best friend(line me khusna tha yar.. thoda lafda to chalta h re :D :D :D)
We managed to find someone I.K new vaguely from school or something, and managed to slip into the line
The PPT was impressive with a lot of stress on how women friendly the company is complete with a rundown about the day care centre (I hope I don't need that in a long time to come :D).
Time for the test had come so we were sent trooping into little classrooms with rickety brown benches and cracked green boards and dumb and flustered(though deliciously cute) invigilators.
I am not going to go into the details of the 5 papers we were made to give. It was technical stuff, most of which seemed vaguely familiar(stresssss on the 'vaguely' part) and none of which I was sure of.. so let total tukkebazi rule the day.. result for the written will be out in a week, no hopes there but that doesn't mean i am not going to check my mail every few minutes for the rest of the week(there is a word called fluke in the English dictionary for some reason folks..!!)
Straight after the test it was time to head back to the hostel, of course with our customary visit to the girl's rest room ;) and a teeny weeny stop at Mc D'ssssss :D :D :D
All in all a nice day.
aaaah yes, did I mention our cranky driver had a habit of taking the longest possible way and then turning back for more than half of it, instead of taking the direct cut we had been screaming in his ear to take... :sigh: You should have seen N.G's face when he just about ignored every direction she was giving him on the way back, if it wouldn't have been for the coke and the burger keeping her hands busy, I swear she would have wrenched the wheel out of his hands and strangled him. Thank God for McD's!! *Face splitting grin*
:D :D :D

PS: Could someone please tell me who got voted out on roadies tonight? My cable operator had to blank out at the precise moment of reckoning Grrrrhhhhhh..!!!!

MoViE mAnIa!!

what can I say about today
Friday, so no college.. had a lazily late morning(well, I am completely vella, so thats how most of my mornings are, and that is how most of my posts are going to start here.. so don't be jealous ;) :D ).. the light and heat from the window next to my bed finally woke me up at 10 am, God how quickly the summers have come.. but I was feeling too lazy to get out of bed, so just turned and rolled over to my roomie's much cooler bed(we have three adjacent beds in our room and my roomie is home, so why not cash in) and lay rolling about for a while pretending to doze..
My rumbling grumbling hungry stomach finally got me out of bed around 11:30.. only to find the paranthas were long gone
:sigh: who said I was lucky as far as food was concerned He giveth He taketh :sniff: :sob:

spent the rest of the day lazing around in bed (yes again!!!) logged on to blogger and gtalk with the usual "hey! whatsup? nthn much just tp u temme?" conversation with the same old equally vella people
My roomie Mani, who is a lifesaver finally rescued me by procuring Madagaskar from God knows where and we spent the afternoon laughing and oooohing away to glory. Trust me on this one guys, this is one movie no one ought to miss!! Melman The giraffe was sooooo hillarious and Alex the lion just had me roaring there and what do I say about Marty, "man I gotta have a frn like that !!" and Gloria.. she is just my newest idol
and then it was Mani again who got me to go to the market and rent two DVD's, so now I have a movie marathon ahead of me.. have already watched Fire and am all boiling up to watch the rest of the 6 movies.. aaah its going to be some night for an insomniac like me
Mani did I tell you I love u girl for being such an angel
well right now the angel is turning quite devillish and is all set to murder me if I don't get off this lappy right now.. its show time folks
see ya!!

Sherry-- up close and personal

A lot of people have told me on my other blog that I never write about myself and lack that personal touch.
I on my part, sometimes just feel like writing about my day.. or may be just a thought or a line that catches my fancy.
So here I am starting this new blog which would have nothing to do with creative stuff, that would be reserved for freeville. This one is going to have daily posts (unless i am out of station or the net gets conked again :|) about my day.. could be anything from a line to a full fledged gatha or may be just a word.
Hope you guys like it and may be get to know me better
take care


PS: I almost forgot.. today's post :D

Today I had a lazy foodie day.. bunked college(if you call not attending the only two lectures we have on Thursdays without any loss of attendance bunking.. aaaah the perks of being in the last semester).. had a sinfully late morning.. add to that the fact that my net conn finally got back in shape.. aaah what an electric start!!
went out with friends and just hogged away to glory.. I am a real fooooodie and today was an absolute treat 'coz we decided to try all kinds of new things, just the kind of adventure i savor (literally ;) :D) (and as my golden luck for the day would have it, most of the mysteries we sunk our teeth into turned out to be quite worth solving)
missed out on my badminton time in the evening (I have restarted playing badminton after over 6 years of not having picked up the racket and am loving it.. all the swoosh and hoosh and the adraline charging through.. its almost worth the terrible back ache and stiff-as-a-rod arm it has given me), 'coz I had to attend to the routerwala.
watched a movie, Italian job, which turned out to be quite enjoyable
and am ending the day by chatting to all my friends.. catching up on all the juicy gossip and of course feasting my eyes on my blog :D
all in all a delicious day
*slurp*

PPS:had a hot chocolate fudge today ;) ;) :D
