Well DA at fag end.....just a last few days of college and then I am relieved for my studies. Nervous, about impending exams, about the fact that soon, once again i will be licenced to "kill". Cannot believe its been 2 years already. Will miss my friends, the fun of college life......
Visited a "Tea Lounge" at Vile Parle. Long ago I had spoken of a place I love, Tea Centre at Churchgate. This place too is good. Tea accompaniments are pricey. I tried the mint tea......one pot is good for 2. The taste was just about fine. Couldn't match the mint tea at TC. But a refreshing change to have a tea lounge over a coffee shop I feel. For tea lovers like me more so.
Moms not too well. Need prayers for her.
There was so much I wanted to blog about, but the moment I log on my mind just blanks off!! Why???

Aiseich.......
Aiseich ek post....
The lazy girl, looks at the world and finds 10 things to blog about everyday. But the outcome?! Sigh.....
Just returned from a short but lovely trip to Mangalore. Met family and interesting people. Loved the place. Although riding on private buses in Karnataka is only for the brave ones.
Saw 3 Idiots (way back when it released but writing now) and LOVED it. Then read Five point someone. The novel is good, yes. But CB is not exactly an author who can create characters. Stories yes, characters, no. Like I could not have imagined how Alok in the novel was supposed to be had I not seen the movie. In fact I had even tried reading the book a year ago but had left midway since I found it tough to "visualize" the story. Unlike Agatha Christie, whose stories not only do I visualize, after having read the 30 odd of her books that I have, I think I know how British country side in the 1950s was. So the concept may be credited to him, but the movie has a charm of its own....
"Look at not what you have lost but at what you have left"..... Thought for the day at Afghan Church. Not too sure what that is supposed to mean.
June is the time for exams. So in a studying mode now. Last month of college left......

Stretched Weekend
Sunday, Dasara off and a leave on tuesday due to a family emergency....boy have I postponed my Monday morning blues to Wednesday!
Dasara wishes to everyone.....
This year the lazy girl didn't do anything she was supposed to do for Dasara, which she has been doing since ages, the celebration which braved 4 years of hostel just to be left when the girl was not on call, not tired and very much at home...tch tch....a very bad girl, a little sorry and guilty girl.
Saw "Whats your Rashee". Was expecting the rashi kanyas to be atleast a bit like the rashee they were portraying but that was not the case, or atleast not very obviously so....Songs were too many and non hummable. Characters were well portrayed and direction was good. Like all Ashoutosh Gowarikar films, the cinematography was terrific but the movie was painfully long (a la Jodha Akbar, Lagaan and Swades. All loooong but well shot) For the actors, a fly won't fly off Harman's face. Priyanka was good and versatile. All the Gujjus were convincing. The detective bit was totally not needed. If you can sit in a place for 4.5 hrs straight then the movie is fine for a one time watch (Although Jiju, Radhika and Nagesh so hated the movie). Seats in Big Cinema at (the premium once we had taken ) were not exactly comfortable. Hope the message gets to Anil Bhai.
At the end of this post it just struck me that I have watched each one of AG film in a movie hall. Record of sorts considering I rarely ever watch movies , lesser so at the theatres.

Whats WRONG With Me?!
In just one week, I managed to make a massive mess in my simple life...
First, I drown my dear mobile phone in water
Then, in my attempts to dry it, I lose my 2gb memory card which had a lot of interesting pics I had taken and very smartly not made a back up of on my PC.
Then since I do not have an extra CDMA handset, I move to a GSM number which I have and use my old Nokia handset for the same, the charger of which I manage to drop and break.
Somewhere while this all was happening I lose my nice not too old Titan Raaga watch and don't even remember where I lose it......
Then after one busy call where I work straight for 20 hours, I "oversleep" (3.5 hrs instead of the only 2.5 hours limit I had to show up in OT on time) much to the disappointment of my seniors....
Sigh
I NEED A BREAK!! And a new phone...........

Things I Can't Live Without
TEA!
Not too strong, not too mild, steaming hot, flavoured or plain sometimes, almost unsweetened and best made by Aai or me.....
Loved the mint tea and lemon grass tea I had today at Resham Bhavan's Tea Centre. Pricey at Rs.40 a cup but absolutely fabulous.
At college I love the tajmahal tea bag tea which lady at the vending machine has learnt to make just the way I like. And the best part is that her machine runs till 1.00 am.....good when I am out on some night calls...
MUSIC
Be it my phone or my Sony Walkman mp3 player....cannot imagine enduring the train journey without the music, or FM.
Sounds something like this
Main to jantar se hi darta hu,
Bass pyaar ka mantar karta hu,
Inn chakkar mein naa padta hu,
Hai rabba yeh kya ho gaya?
"Arey jagah do na andar janeko......"
Main to haar gaya kambakkht ishq,
Mujhe maar gaya kambakkht ishq,
Hai rabba yeh kya ho gaya?
"Maine pehle jagah boli thi.....woh 4th pe"
You’re my baby, but you are driving me crazy, crazy girl,
You’re my baby, but you are driving driving driving
"tumahri galti hain.....mereko taney mat maro, samazta hain muzko bhi"
You’re my baby, but you are driving me crazy, crazy girl,
You’re my baby, but you are driving driving driving..............
MEETING THE GALS
Can't imagine not meeting my gals and chatting with them. May happen just 1-4 times a year but each meet is something I look forward to and can't miss for anything in the world. We shop, sometimes dine,but mostly hang out at cafes and share coffee and life.....
MOM
Mums the best. Need I say more?
NAGESH
SLEEP
My 40 winks, my recharge for the day. The thing I love to do the most any time of the day. Max I have slept is 16 hours straight after my 2nd MBBS Microbiology practicals, which had been a very taxing exam
BOOKS
Novels, short stories, classics, my text books. Feel incomplete without a book in my hand. Or in my bag. Or by my bedside. Love buying them, reading them, gifting them and hate sharing them with anyone.

Nameless Post
Labels:
activity,
realisation
So I can't think of a good name for my post......
Rainy day and I'm home today with my hot cup of tea. Home not because of the strike....I have been visiting college in spite of our MARD strike. Attending meetings, taking part in rallies and the works. But the rains lashing out at the city have kept me home. Every year there is one July day when Mumbaians stay home thanks to heavy rains. So this year, hopefully this was that day......
Over the past few days, one thing I have learn't about myself...Mint is probably my favorite flavour! I love mint in my tea, mint chutney in my sandwiches. I love Baskin Robbins Mint Chocolate icecream (People with no taste dare to call it toothpaste flavoured ice cream). After Eight is one of my favorite chocolates. Recently I went shopping to Fabindia and ended up buying a mint soap for myself (Loved it too).
Visited Bangalore and stayed with Nagesh's cousin and his family. Loved the city, loved my new family. And loved the workshop on mechanical ventilation for which had gone to Bangalore. Or Bengaluru? Suits fine......
Small regrets....I couldn't meet my best buddy in Bangalore, thanks to my short trip. Couldn't catch up with a dear friend with whom I had stayed a year ago when I was in Bangalore, who, with his family had been extremely nice and accomodating when I had visited them over a year ago, thanks to my lack of planning and an ounce of laziness.....
MIL has now moved to Colaba, again, thanks to jijaji being shuttled off to Vizag by the Indian Navy......so me back to home plus work.... sigh
