Aha Summer!!!!

I have been thinking of writing this post from the day 1 of the summer but somehow never got around it.. :-) I love summer for a lot of reasons: 1. early summer mornings, when it is reaaly bright and you think it is late but when you see the time it is just 6.30am in the morning. 2. you get a lot of time to either sleep some more or wake up & go for a walk in the park. ( you can do this pointer only if, provided you are not married and even if you are then you dont have a kid who goes to school or has holidays - mine is the latter. 3. its good to go for that walk which will keep you fresh and bursting with energy the whole day. 4. by getting up early you have a long day where in you can get to do loads of things (work & fun) 5. you can go to the mountains for a lil fresh air if you get off work that is 6. it reminds me of my school days all over again, where we had to study for the exams and wait for it to be over so we can all have fun 7. even now if i think of exams, I have butterflies in my stomuch :-) 8. I remember all those days wen 3 of us would walk to school in the afternoon. we would carry either chutney powder or pickle to eat on the way... Oh! what fun those days were...wish i Could re-live it again. I would give an eye and teeth for it!!!!!

"Soul Santhe" - for the arty & smarty!!!

Sunday last was my birthday & for want of doing something different and memorable rather than doing the same old...same old, one of my close pal and I decided to visit the "Soul Santhe" that happens periodically at the palace Grounds. It was an awesome and a very unique experience in itself.... It was supposed to be 3 of us who were planning to go in the first place but only 2 of us ended up going but, we thoroughly enjoyed the place. It was so colorful and vibrant. i guess that is why it is aptly named... it indeed is something to soothe your soul. Also you will have an added bonus: "People Watching" (I love)! We were 2 of us that went there...it was quite a long ride on my bike in the hot sun...but the santhe was a reward in itself. The theme is more like the flea market from Goa - it starts at 2pm and goes on till mid-night wow!!! i had a camera with me but unfortunately could not take any pics with those many people milling around but I am planning to go for the next one.......may be I will manage some pictures then just to give an idea to all those people who are interested in the arty stuff!! All in all I had a wonderful blasting birthday!!!!!!!!!!!

Age - just a number??

My birthday is just round the corner which has kind of put me in that mode...where i am thinking am i getting old?? or is age just a number???
I have lived so many years of my life!! crossed most of the milestones :-)
1. hopefully i have been a good daughter, sister and friend
2. got married to the one I love
3. had a cute little baby girl
4. in the meanwhile have built up quite a career for myself ;-)
but the question here is have i done justice to my 31 years! have i really lived more than half my life???
I have always been someone who has thought that age is just a number.....but may be completing 31 and stepping into the 32nd is really taking a toll on me.
i sometimes feel i want go back and start afresh do things that i couldnt do earlier but there are also days when i truly feel that i have seen nothing yet!!! ;-)
did you get the drift???right now i am a very confused to-be 32year old!!!!
Should I wish myself a Very Happy Birthday or feel sad that I have finished 1 more year of my life!

Saturday Noons with Chan

Last night I watched Rush Hour 2 and was bowled over all over again by the charms of the man I spent most of my saturday afternoons with, when in School. Those were some of the best saturdays of my life. I would literally count the hours before i got back home so I could immerse myself in his world. Yes! if you guys have not guessed who I am talking about or you have any doubts that I am rambling in my old age ;-) then let me tell you I am talking about the one & only Jackie Chan!!! my love for the action-comedy goes way back to his days of the Police Story...I loved him then & I love him now! ;-) ;-). I have watched so many of his movies over the years and dont mind watching even now (back to back).
