Summer in Delhi offers all kind of cool/cold drinks. Once of the stall I always pass by and never bother to look back are the pudina water (?) with nimbu stall. But, this at South Ex sure caught my attention.If I am to have a drink from any of such stall, I will surely have some from him. I really like the way he display it

The Manali Holiday - 2: Snow and ski

New World Champion in the making :D

Not in the mood to add much words.....i might, later on...heh!

The Manali Holiday

2011-05-06T18:11:00.002+05:30

Gee...I can't believe that this is my first post this year...gosh, I had been so lazy. Well, this trip that I am to talked about also happened last month *GRIN*.

Besides its beauty, the things I notices about Manali are:

1. The air is very clear, fresh and clean. In short, still very unpolluted

2. All shops including the fruit vendor ensured that they use paper bag instead of poly bag ( This doesn't meant that I am an environmentalist..heh)

3. The people are very good. A very simple example: the auto rickshaw drivers are not there to cheat you. (We reached Delhi in the morning and the auto driver tried to take an extra night charge..whew). I guess the weather greatly affect the people.

4. Tea/Coffee are really really good

I am not going to say much but let the pictures do the talking:

As I've never seen a snow in real life, we got really excited with the first clear view of snow on the hills.

We reached Manali in the morning and this is where we enjoyed our tea and bread-omlette

The Yak ride...I mean photo session with yaks. :)

In a Manali traditional dress; it's really warm, and a photo session with the sheep

This is a cherry tree (quite different from Farmville Cherry tree *GRIN*

We were advised to take only a small thin sweater with us as summer has started. Well, we ended up wearing this big furry jacket and bought a new one for ourselves.

Snow water......seems to be very fresh but freezing cold

A Manali woman. I have noticed that the women worked really hard but this lady is all smile for the camera

That's all for now. Next will be an update about the skiing trip

Yet another year over

2010-12-31T15:11:00.000+05:30

How time flies. I find it hard that we are at the last day of 2010. Like we joked in the morning the year has ended before “we decide our new year resolution”.

The year 2010 is sure brings a mixed up emotion to my family. A new nephew of mine, the sweetest one anyone could ever ask for. He brings joy to the family. On the other side, my cousin sister and my aunt were diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately, the operations were successfully. At the end of the year, we are happy. Thank you, Lord.

Looking back at the year, I asked myself if I bring joy to anyone’s life. Did I achieve something great? I have no answer to these questions. What I do know is that I did hurt someone and I am sorry for that.

Being away from home for a long time now, it is sad to hear demise of our dear and close ones. A few days back, I was shocked with the news of the untimely death of LMSA ("Lalmalsawma" but that's how we called him) whom I've known for so long; we have been in the neighborhood for so long that I cannot even recall how I know him. All I can say is that he was one of the best person I know. Besides him, I have lost some close friends like Rocky, Lalrintluanga, Frederick (an old classmate) to name a few. It's hard to believe that I will never see them in this world again. I still think of them and still wonders. I could go on and on but enough of talking about dying here..heh!

Looking at the brighter side, I am in good health; I have great friends, great family, good job and colleagues and oh, a roof over my head J. And a new found brother, family through LK..hehe. For all these, I thank the Lord up in heaven. If I am to repay for all these, it would take me forever to pay back.

I really wish I had spend my Christmas and New Year back home. I really had good time last year with my family. Anyway, hope we all will be well and spend the next and more Christmases and New Years with them.

To end this year, here's a small prayer:

Lord, thank you for your countless blessings.

Thank you for wonderful families, best friends, job and a great team

Lord, do bless all my dear and loved ones with health, wealth and wisdom

Amen

Happy New Year :)

I came across one website http://www.lotsofjokes.com and just want to share some of my favorites:

There was this guy who really took care of his body. He lifted weights and jogged 6 miles everyday. One morning he looked in the mirror and admired his body and noticed that he was suntanned all over with one exception, his penis. He went to the beach, completely undressed, and buried himself in the sand except for his penis which he left sticking out. Two little old ladies were strolling along the beach. One was using a cane and upon seeing the thing sticking out of the sand, began to move it around with her cane. Remarking to the other little old lady, she said "There really is no justice in the world!!!"

The other little old lady said, "What do you mean by that?" The first little old lady said, "Look at that........

When I was 20............... I was curious about it.
When I was 30............... I enjoyed it.
When I was 40............... I asked for it.
When I was 50............... I paid for it.
When I was 60............... I prayed for it.
When I was 70............... I forgot about it.

And now that I am 80, the damned things are growing wild and I am to old to squat!" :D

Happy Birthday, Sarah

2010-05-25T01:33:00.002+05:30

I got a call from Sarah yesterday saying '' Nute, arn't you coming home?"

Me: "Of course, I am"

Her: " You are not going to be here for my birthday. Do you remember that tomorrow is my birthday?"

Me: "Of course, honey, I remember" (I lied a bit...stopped counting the date)

Her: "So, does that mean that you are not going to be here for my birthday?"

Me: (Tough question) "Sorry sweety, I won't be able to make it..still stuck up with my work"

Her: "Well, if you are not here, we are not going to celebrate it"

Me: "Why not??" (bit surprised here) "You have to celebrate whether I am there or not..and be happy"

Well..the conversation goes and with her saying "I really miss you".....and I really miss you too, darling. I really wish I could be there.

Sarah, it's hard to believe that you have turned 10 this year..wow..it seems like yesterday when I hold you in my arms and dressed you up. Yes, I used to take you to Aganwadi and you were barely able to talk.

Oh, how I missed you and love you.

I really wish I could be there for you on your special day.

Tough I am not with you, remember that my heart is with you and I love you with all my heart.

Remember that you have been such a blessing to our family; specially to your granny.

I love you, Sarah and Happy Birthday to you! I thank God for giving you to me, to us.

God bless you, my darling niece.

Yup...Another Year Older :)

2010-04-19T05:48:00.000+05:30

April 19th - yes, that's my birthday - reached with God's blessings.

I know that people loved to pull my legs - you are this old, you are still single...get married..oh, you are such a senior-single-with job lady, you are scaring the guys away...and all craps...which, are not hilarious but have to smile out of politeness.

I used to see it this was - okay, they make fun, it's fine. How many people do not live long enough to see the stage I am in? How many of my classmates had lost life? How many got married and led a not-so-happy-envious life? I feel so blessed. Thank you Lord.

Okay, looking back at the years that I had spent, I asked myself:

1. Have a been a good daughter?:

For others to see, I may not be a problematic daughter - free from drugs, never dressed over the top, never awkward make up, a grad now with a job. But, had I been a good daughter? If I have to be rated, I know that I won't be rated high. There are so many things that I regret.

2. How do I rate as a sister?:

I remembered their birthdays and sent my wishes every year..and..ok. on my defense, I am the youngest so they should be looking after me :D...and they never remember my birthday unless I remind them over and again. No good wishes till now...

This is how I fair as a sister.

3. How about friend?

I listened all the craps they can talk about with patience :D and sometimes try to help them out. But if I compare the time I gave for my friends to all the things the do for me, it become so little.And yes, these days, I spent so much time alone, which is really bad..My PC and my net become my best friends now

I have guests..but that do not stop me from browsing

Now, I am not going to ask how I am as a Boss or as a colleagues cos I know I am the worst, the most impatient, you name it and I am that.

To make it short, I am thankful that God had guided me throughout my life and blessed me with another year. Thank you Lord.

Boomarang - Live@ Turquoise Cottage

2010-04-06T21:31:00.019+05:30

Place: Turquoise Cottage
Vasant Vihar, New Delhi

Date: 2nd April, 2010

Note: This is all after church activity :)

One of my friends called up saying that Boomarang will be performing Live and invite us to see them play and then later to have dinner.

Shall I call myself a Fan? :D Ok, I like the band very much and proud to read and hear about them.

These two could not turn their head/neck for the next 4 days...hahahha...when you call them, they turned themselves without moving their heads..lolz

(on just above pic) - Hlutea & William

Hlutea was asking me the other day how William is doing - if he is able to turn his head..lolz

It was such a great night that William completely forgot that he is - unable to walk properly and could barely walk, having viral fever, hard of hearing (:D) etc.

Will add more later...not in the mood

Remembering my Father

2010-03-31T12:52:00.005+05:30

Time flies so fast that I was hardly prepared for t- the same day when my father left us for his eternal home (31st March, 2001).

Lots has been going into my mind these days and I find it hard to make the right decision - what will be best for me. This is the time when I really really need my father to talk to - pouring my heart out and listening to his thoughts and make me understand what is right for me. Pa, I really need you these days - it's been so tough.

There are many times when I envy those who still have their parents alive and well. I'd looked at them and questioned them in my thought "Do you know how fortunate you are to have both your parents with you?" "Have you thanked God for blessing you with parents?" - endless questions.

I know how much tougher it will be for my Mom, looking after the family without my father. Each day, I said a silent "Thank you for my Mom" prayer and I do not want God to take her away too. This might sound selfish but I want her to live for a very very long time.

I will never say goodbye to you my Father
cause I know this is not the end for us to see each other.
You will only be going to a place where there’s no pain nor suffering.

I am happy for you, for you will be with God.
For now we need to go in separate ways.

Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.

A visit to Agra

2010-03-10T17:19:00.014+05:30

I meant to share this long time back but, as usual, my laziness got the better of me. I kept telling my self to do it ASAP and here it is, finally..whew!!

There's a saying - If you stay in New York for a week, you will see everything. If you stay for a month, you will see some thing (place), and if you stay for a year, you will not see anything.

The same thing goes for me as well, I guess. After staying in Delhi for 5 yrs, I finally managed to see the great Taj Mahal and oh, it is so so sooo beautiful.

We went in a tour bus that came to pick us up. The journey was somehow tiring as it took 5 hrs or more to reach Agra.

Once we reached there, the first stop was at Agra Fort.

Whenever I see an ancient building/fort, the one thing that always comes to my mind is "How safe these/this place will be if there is an earthquake (touch wood)"....

I've always admired the laborers and the architects during those days when looked at the magnificent forts. How hard these people have to work to built it as those days they do not have the modern technology. Not to forget, the emperor or the king who could build it..how wealth they would be during those days.

The interior decoration is just so wonderful, and beautiful. I don't know what to say much but I can tell that they were really really advanced in architecture.

This place gave such a nice angle. This idea was given by the photographers swarming around - offering you to take your pictures for a price and give you the developed photos.

After this, our next stop was finally to the Taj Mahal.

I have seen and read about The Taj Mahal several times and always tell myself that it is a "must see". As we entered the gate, we were full of excitement and the moment I saw it, I was lost for words. It was so beautiful and enchanting. I stood still for sometime admiring the beauty and kept on saying "it's soooo beautiful,,it's wonderful..." on and on .

Then, back to the world, the first picture I captured of the Taj Mahal..not the best in the world but it's ..quite beautiful..not bad

This is where the late Princess Di sat when she the Taj Mahal. This seat was a Hot Seat and you have to fight to be able to take a snap..lolzz..and you don't even have the time to focus on the angel..the most important thing is that you sit there and took a photo..

After this, we moved the two other temples - where Lord Krishna was born and the other where he played as a child.

There was a Hindu march (that's how I call it) near the temple where Lord Krishna used to play as a child. I captured a few pictures of that march and here is one.

Though how we go is quite convenient, I would suggest people not to take the tour bus as it takes too much and and most important - if you want to see only the Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal. After visiting all the places and went home, we reached back home at 2:00 AM.

No next time or if you want to see the two mentioned place only, here is the best option:

1. Take train from Del to Agra (3hrs and even AC Chair costs around Rs. 300)

2. Hire a taxi to take you to Agra Fort and The Taj Mahal (if you are in group, you can contribute) or a bus (my guess is there will be bus)

3. Take a train back to Del (3 hrs)

This way, time is less consuming as you will used up only 6hrs Vs 10 hrs journey (to and fro).

And I simply must add the snap of our guide who couldn't stop smiling after I clicked this:

How well do you know yourself?

2010-02-08T11:07:00.001+05:30

There was a girl. She was famous for her unkempt apartment. If you entered the apartment, you will see unmade bed, unswept floor (who know for how long), wrappers lying around, clothes everywhere etc. Adopted stray dogs which create more mess as her apartment was filled with new and dried craps that were covered with newspapers.

One fine day, she hired a maid who now kept the house tidy. Whoever entered the house now made a comment "The house is so clean, you can actually live now".

After this, she would proudly day "I cannot stand dirty house. I told my maid that everything should be spick and span".

Then, one of her friends left her house in a mess one day with clothes lying around. She was the first to make this comment "How could she be so untity, I can't stand it". It was a laugh for those who knew her before.

There was a boy who drinks quite heavily. When asked why he drank so much, he answered "I have an insomnia and this is the reason why I drink a lot so that I may fall asleep. But this did not help, I still cannot sleep, no matter how much I drink" and then after a few minutes, you can hear him snore. :)

* Characters mentioned here are fictional. If it resembles any person living or dead, it is a coincidence :D

What the ......

2010-02-08T02:52:00.001+05:30

My system time says its 8th Feb 2010 but my very recently updated blog still show 7th Feb, 2010 and I was like..WTF.

Then I go to the settings and found out that it was set to Pacific Standard Times..hehehe

2009-03-23T09:25:00.000+05:30

Venue: PnP
Occasion: Friend's B'Day

Thanks to Information Technology, I was able to go to the club and enjoy myself while I was to be at work :) ... one SMS saved me...hehe. It was a great experience.

All together, we were 3 guys and 3 girls. When we reached the venue, we saw handsome-well-dressed-clean-great car guys but who do not even flick an eye to us...not that we are that :D.

The best thing was that you don't see the hungry-sex starved-dirty-cheap eyes checking you out. The ironic part was that the guys were quite cool, decent etc etc but they were just not into girls..ouch!

In most discs here in Delhi, it's a free entry for girls but not here. When I bring this up, one of my friends replied, "C'mon, it's a gay club...there should be no difference between a girl and a guy" and we laughed it off.

The main drawback was the bi-sexual ones who tried to hit on you. C'mon, it was a gay club and the male were suppose to be gay..interested in guys only. One of my friends and I were so pissed off with this guy and then I finally said "Stop talking to me and my grilfriend" hoping that that would brushed him off. But, this stupid-ugly-fellow still come very strong..trying to make conversation with us..offerring drinks. Then he was gone for a minute or two then came back with a story that he is a journalist and wants us to share our story - the lesbian life....he was such a pain in the A**.

On the other news.. :P

I have been blessed with straight hair and been carrying it for a very long time. As a child I always wanted to keep my hair long which my mother would never agreed to. Then when I finally reached my teen, I stopped listening and kept my hair long and straight ever since.

The other day, a beautician fron Aizawl came and decided to make some changes.

This is the new hair do in the making --------->

As per him, we have to leave it for 40 mins. After 40 mins, it was not enough so we leave it for another 15 mins...I think it was for full 1 hour then it was ready.

<------------The new hairdo :)

and then.........

............and then..........

...then....

And this is how I look like...hahaha...and yes, with "my" hair dresser.

Where I have been

2009-02-15T09:47:00.000+05:30

I have been away from this blg world for a month. I have not bothered to update my own blog nor do I bother to read others'. I guess I have been lazy and yes, been busy at work. Well...I have been feeding the deers...hehe.

I have been taking a walk at Deer Park, Safdarjung, quite reqularly these days and feeding the deers was one of the fun part. Now, I saved all the wasted green vegetables so that I can feed them. Though the amount of food I bring to them is very less, but it's fun to see them eating heartily...and the crunching sound they made is jsut beautiful. I don't know how to explain this but I just love the sound.

I took this specially for my dear cousin, J, who, most probably concentrated on the meat too much, never see a peacock at the park :D

This park is quiet huge and so I once went to the other side that I never reached. Then I saw this place

On Friday the 13th, I saw a peacock in its full grace and I felt so fortunate. I always wanted to see them with my naken eyes and luck was on my side.

When I first saw it, its back was at my side then I waited patiently and quite nervous too, afraid that I would scare him and let the tails down. Then I hold my breath, waited when it finally turned slowly

Fearing that it would keep the tail down once I caught his attention, I took this

But he proved me wrong as he was standing there, and then turned very slowly.

I promised that I will set my phone cam in a good mode the next time I come across something so beautiful. I am not satisfied with this photoes either.

Christmas and New Year

2009-01-05T08:11:00.000+05:30

Let me start by wishing you all a very Happy New Year...I hope it is a blessing year for all of us.

I am not going to add much words here but let the pictures do the talking..heh! The holiday was great as I was completely free from work. It weather here has now really really dipped down and is quite chilly.....but it is the right time to have a bornfire.

This is how I spend most of my holidays.....bornfire outside the house. It was fun and warm :)

This is the Christmas Tree. I know it's not the best tree in the world (:D) but I really love and enjoy decorating it. I did not do it alone, of course. And I removed the model here as I have not consulted him whether he allow his picture to be included or not...lol.

One of my sisters sent some money so that we can enjoy smoked meat. So, we went to INA Market and bought 3kgs of pork which we smoked outside our house. It was one of the best smoked-pork that I ever had. I am not sure whether my friends enjoyed it as much as I do but I know that none of them complain about it.

I took this on 31st Dec and so I simply added it.

New Year's Eve near Kamal. Whenever I came here, the place remined me of my dear dear friend, Kima and I am sure he has the explanation..hehe.

We went to pick up one of our friends at Kamal who joined us for the night. When we reached this place, it was full of life..or call it "very happenning". The stuffs in front of the man with green apron are fried chicken...the chest, the legs etc. So, whenever any one of the cooks finished his share, he simply pour it in front of him. Then the man with the green appron weigh it the weighing scale, commonly known as patla or padla. In between, he fried his share on the big pan on his right side. It was real fun to watch this activity.

Our rosted(?)/smoked(?) chicken on New Year's Eve. It was the first time I have ever tried it so it did not turn out great..hehe....I am sure I will do better next time :)

New Year at Mizoram House, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi. I was behind the camera..these kids are funny.

New Year's Night at Mizoram House. Believe it or not, I was there and I had a good time.

Ok, I was here not because of my own will but because of my nephew and other friends who wanted to sing so badly. Therefore, I have no choice but to join them. However, I did not regret it. In fact, I was quite thankful that I was there. Praise the Lord.

After getting home...nothing special about it :)

The new song for a new year

2009-01-02T01:31:00.000+05:30

Hope you like the music....

TAYLOR SWIFT: TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR

Holiday is here

2008-12-22T07:05:00.000+05:30

I finally have my leave approved for two whole weeks (with a little white lie..hehe)...my leaves start today...wow!!! and I am so relieved and refreshing. I can now rest, rest and rest. No irate customer, No customer's issue/query, No pre/post shift meet, No "Bte, will you be taking the shift meet?/Can we leave?" once the shift ends, No meeting with the managers, No "uh oh, have I done something wrong?" when your Ops. Manager called you...aaaahhh..at least for the next two weeks...a real relief.

However, I hate the fact that I will not be able to spend it with my family..but...my sister, cousin sister, nephew, friends and .... are here so I am trying to make the most of it.

I haven't done my Christmas shopping yet which I hope to have by tomorrow. Ok, what will I get for myself - new shoes?, new jeans?, new sweater?, new boots?...decisions, decisions..contribution would be appreciated *GRIN*. Anyway, I have trimmed the tree but still have to work with the decorative lights in the balcony.

Anyway, here's a few lines from one the most beautiful Christmas songs:

City sidewalks, Busy sidewalks, Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's A feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, People passing, Meeting smile after smile
And on everyStreet corner you'll hear

Silver Bells, Silver Bells
It's Christmas time in the city

18 and still counting...???

2008-12-21T10:31:00.001+05:30

I came across a quite an interesting news while browsing Pople's website. It was about this Duggar family who has the 18th child...wow. I wonder where they get all the energy from:P. It makes me wonder if my good friend Kima, formerly known as Silverchild, would be able to top that..hehe.

On a serious note..come to think of it...18 kids and still counting?? As reported:

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of Tontitown, Ark., had their eighteenth child Thursday – Jordyn-Grace Makiya, who joins the rest of her J-named siblings. Jordyn-Grace was born via C-section at Mercy Medical Center in Rogers, weeks before her due date of Jan. 1. She weighed in at 7 lbs, 3 oz and was 20 inches long. "Mother and baby are resting and doing well," says a rep for the Duggar family, whose crowded house is featured on the TLC network show 17 Kids & Counting.

For Jim and Michelle Duggar, eighteen isn't enough. After welcoming a 7-lb., 3 oz. daughter via C-section on Thursday to join their 17 other children, the proud papa tells the Associated Press: "We both would love to have more." The Duggars now have 10 sons and eight daughters, ranging in age from 17 months to 20 years, all with first names starting with the letter J, including the newborn addition, Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar. "The ultimate Christmas gift from God," said Jim tells AP. "She's just absolutely beautiful, like her mom and her sisters." The family's crowded house in Tontitown, Ark., is featured on the TLC network show 17 Kids & Counting, which will have its name updated to reflect the birth of No. 18.

Thought this is not my business but I wonder how they looked after the kids. They have to be quite a well-to-do-family and they must be. If the mother's health is good..she must've been blessed with all the health...just imagine having 18th child and still doing fine. Not only that, already think of having the next..wow.

My sister had has 3 kids and after that the doctor won't let her have another one. This makes me realize how blessed the Duggars family is and they all looked healthy and happy.

Okay, once the 18th child or the younger ones start their schooling, I am quite sure that they will have problem remembering their brothers and sisters names. If it is in Mizoram school, the quesiton would be like:

1. What is your name?: easy
2. What is your mother's name?: which could be answered easily
3. What is your father's name?: another easy question
4. How many brothers and sisters do you have?: getting tough
5. Name them:..aaahhhh

Jokes apart, just want to say ...Congratulations!! :)

Lazy

2008-12-13T11:15:00.000+05:30

...that's me. I am too lazy to even update my blog or think up of something to talk about. I go to work regulary because that's my duty. Except for that I seem to neglect almost everything. I have so many pending works at home because I am too . I know that I still have to go to CitiBank and draw my check that I surprisingly received from IBM. The amount is small but it is good to receive the "BONUS" check out of expectation. It's been almost a year and a hlaf that I have left the company and I guess I will never know what that bonus is for..not that I am complaining :)...I must have done something right (hee hee).

I have lost Rs. 1000 Shoppers Stop gift voucher because I felt lazy. Believe it or not, the voucher was valid for one year and finally expires on Nov. 2008...it was a real waste. I did try to use it in the middle of the year. I went shopping with my cousin in Noida mall but forgot to bring the voucher. That was the closest I have come to use it. The now-uselsess voucher is lying among my files...I know some would be real mad at me for this.

However, I did change my template and created the banner. It may not be a masterpiece but I did my best and I guess it is quite okay for the time being. I don;t know what got into me these days but I am crazy about flowers and thus use it on my banner. I know I still have to work on my template but it will be sometime. Let the enthusiasm comes first.

Besides this, I went to Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan, N.Delhi and it was worth
it. It was last month, though. I bought the small chilli pickle and bamboo shoot pickle. The chilli is quite hot and makes my mouth water just the thought of it..heh! One of the things that I fear most is not being able to have chilli due to stomach problem. I really need to know how to take care of my stomach..lolzz. My friend, Mathlana, sent me the pics. I was hoping that he would send the pics without us in it but he did not. Anyway, here is one with the umbrella I really like. I asked him to buy it for me but when he checked it, he knew that it was not useful so..:(

Anyway, I feel very very very tired these days. My muscles ached and my old bones really need all the rests they can take. I do not know why I always feel tired. The only reason I can think of is that may be my aging body cannot take a non-vacational-year-long work....that's may be..lol.

My Appetite

2008-11-16T08:34:00.000+05:30

How will I start? I know how terrible I used to feel when I lost my appetite; I lost my energy, always drowsy, no energy. For me, the worst part of losing an appetite feeling hungry yet not do not feel like eating. For instance, take a bowl and after 2/3 sip, you stopped taking it 'cos you do not feel like it..but your bady still need more so badly.

No, I am not losing my appetite. In fact it is so good that it worries me..sometimes. WhateverI eat taste wonderful and ate it to my heart content...fully satisfied and could barely move 'cos I am so full. Then after sometime, when there is something to eat, I can still have it..lol. I am not complaining :).

The only reason why I am worried is because I am gaining lots and lots of weight. Worst of all, my tummy..no longer sexy...hahaha. The thought of going on diet do sometimes come to my mind but always put it away. I am a person who always oppose to people on diet, ie strict diet so as to be thin.

I think that modelling is the worst profession. Yes, they are beatiful, tall, glamorous, can carry off all type of clothes etc etc. But they cannot eat whatever they want. What's the point in earning lots of money and not daring to or cannot eat what you want? If their profession requires it, they have to do it. This is one of the reasons why I love my job...I need not look beautiful but just professional..hehe. I may not be blessed with long legs, poise etc etc and I may not carry off all type of clothes but at least I know I wouldn't be laughed at with what I am wearing. And I do not wear all kind of clothes :D.

I love what I eat so much that I cannot understand why people vomitted themselves right after eating. Even when I gave a thought to do the same, I think of what I just lovingly had and do not want to go it a waste..so I never do it..:P.

I talked to my dear friend LV the other day and he gave me the following advice:

1. Stop taking meat (I love meat too much to give up)

2. Stop taking tea (Never!!! I am a tea drinker)

3. Do not take banana 'cos its fattenning. Eat apple (I can do this)

4. Drink lots of water (I do)

5. Go for walk (I do but not regularly :()

6. Do not take eggs. Even if you do, avoid the yolk (I love eggs)

7. Eat vegetables (not a problem)

8. No beer (Impossible, :P)

9. Curd has low fat content so have it. (Quite easy to follow)

10. Take Bio Slim (I have to try this :D)

The moment he mentioned Bio Slim, he blabbered on how effective it is which makes we wonder how much this company is paying him...lolzzz.

Anyway, let me conclude and say "I still love my appetite"..hahaha

Yellow

2008-11-01T20:41:00.000+05:30

No, I am not going to talk about the term 'Yellow' or 'Yellow Belly'.

Since I planned to shift yet again, I was packing my clothes and I was quite surprised with the color of my clothes. I was shocked to see the number of yellow colored tops. I have two salwar out of which 1 is yellow :D. And then my other tops are yellow, yellow and yellow. I always say that black and blue are are my favorite color but the color "Yellow" topped that. I guess I have been unknowingly choose a yellow colored tops.

Then I checked out this so called 'color and you' or something like that. This was what said about this color:

Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will advance from surrounding colors and instill optimism and energy, as well as spark creative thoughts.

Not bad, not bad..hehe

The information also says:
Yellow is psychologically the happiest color in the color spectrum. (uh huh)
Intelligent (I can't argue :P)
Warm (Yes...hehe)
Loves comfort and will pay for it (True..lol)

hehe..ehem!!

Then I took a quiz and this is the result:

YELLOW

You are very perceptive and smart. You are clear and to the point and have a great sense of humor.

You are always learning and searching for understanding.

hahaha..strange.

I used to take it for granted

2008-10-11T20:07:00.000+05:30

After being bed-ridden for four days, I am finally up now. I had been blessed with health and I do not know the meaning of being really sick. Except for some cold with fever and menstrual pain, I never take medicine. I always guess I was always the lucky one.

Then last Thursday (2nd Oct., 2008), I felt really tired when I woke up and I wanted to just sleep the day away. Not knowing what the viral cause to my body, I got ready for work anyway. And yes, I did go to the Office hoping that I would get better once I reach there. Then, I prove myself wrong; my situation got worse and I could hardly keep my eyes open.

After sometime, I finally talked to my ABM and request him to arrange a cab for me. After a 15 minutes (the longest ever), I was finally on my way back to my house. Once I reached my room, I just collapsed on my bean bag. Then after an hour or so, I saw my sister next to me, calling me. I could hardly open my eyes.

I was so darn tired and the energy inside me was completely sucked out. I hardly moved out from my room, unless really really required.

Anyway, I am back to the Office and I am getting better day by day though not yet fully fit. The good thing is that I have not yet smoked for the last 6 days which, I guess, is a sign that I have not fully recovered :D

While I was lying on my sick bed, I realize how it was like to be healthy. I was blessed with good health which I used to take it for granted. And the health that I used to enjoy was priceless – appetite, good sleep, enthusiasm, energy etc which were taken away.

Now I am recovering and count each day as a new blessing.

Still love them...:)

2008-09-28T00:01:00.000+05:30

*Sigh!!*

Its been a decade and a half but I still love them a lot. With their come-back, I get excited all over again. I have even subscibed their news letter and also sign up for Google Alert..hahaha..how crazy I still am.

I read the report of their comeback concernr and I could so relate myself to this:

"The Garden was more than ready for Wahlberg's love-in. Many of the fans, who were mostly women between the ages of 28 and 40, came to the show in 20-year-old T-shirts and buttons, and held signs that said things like "Before there was Justin there was Jordan," and "Donnie and Jordan in '08."

And the on other pages, I noticed this cute photo:

I am quite sure that had I been in their place, I would do the same....with their Tee..of course. If only I have the chance to meet them at least once :)

And, would you believe I still have their big posters safely packed at home.
