All that I can do...

With guests(relatives) at home, its been fun last 7 days…It is always so cool to have people who u love and who love u around u… such presence really gives a boost to one’s life especially if u r far away from ur native home…For me, the feeling is no different…a mixture of fun and crazy emotions…at times going back to old days…running and jumping and what not…

But the negative side is…I haven’t missed work also…soo, after all the long drives and long long walks through all the malls, I could never hit the bed without seeing early morning 1.30 …that’s the least…many days I even saw the clock striking 3am and then would rush to the bedroom. To get some sleep before it struck 5am…Week ends, we did the long and tiring routes…and then to office without much sleep and again soon after work join them at some Malls…I am really tired..or rather sleeeepy..Yester night I had really thought of going to bed on time ...butttttttttt…..

Now I am sitting here at my office, almost falling off my chair while all I can do is yawn, yawn and yawn…Sooo, naturally I am yawninggggggggg and yawningggggggg…and yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawning….god, I am sure smbdy gonna see my adventurous activity of taking the most amount of oxygen from one single room… Wish I was in bed now and sleeping tight…Wish, I won a lottery, so that I could quit my job and be home as much as I want…

I am sure, this post would have been the most laziest and boring, I have ever posted…so, one f u can surely give me that award…but then u should understand my condition…this was just a futile attempt to keep my eyes open…

Between, now I wish so much that if I was NK from my 11th grade…uhmmm..He had awonderful ability …There were many a days, when he would be sitting right there at the last seat, but still being very attentive in classes (even the most boring classes) with his eyes wide open…while rest of us would be drooping down or trying to find some excuse to bunk the class….

One such day, some of the guys were caught sleeping during the class…As a punishment, the teacher asked some question on the topis she was teaching…naturally the boys couldn’t answer…As I was praying hard not to be asked to answer, the teacher called out… “NK, u tell me…”… A sigh of relief was passing through me…Mainly bcoz usually NK gets good marks for exams and we always see him really attentive in classes…So, for sure, he would answer the question and the teacher wouldn’t or needn’t ask anybdy else for the correct answer.

As these thoughts were passing my mind, suddenly, I heard the teacher again saying.. “NK, u tell me…”..Alarming thought passed me…NK also doesn’t know the answer???Uh…I turned round to look at him…I could see him still sitting and gazing at the blackboard behind the teacher…Wonder why he looks so strange and weird…and why is he so arrogant, that he is not even standing up when the teacher is asking him something…uh…

I saw the teacher going near him and said in a much louder voice,… “NK in which world are u…Are u not here…U too joined these naughty boys…???Answer my question…” Lol!!! Still no response..he was just sitting there as if in a trance...

The teacher had lost her cool…she slapped the book on her hand down to the desk and with a sudden jerk we saw NK coming back to his self…seeing the teacher near him, suddenly he looked at his book and acted as if he was going through the text book…Little did he know about all that happened b4 that….he was just thinking that maybe the teacher was just strolling inside the classroom while teaching…U shd have seen the fun…Somehow, the teacher broke into a laugh…and there joined rest of the class…Just NK couldn’t laugh, as he never remembered anything hilarious…

Only much later he knew the whole story and was so embarrassed that he couldn’t even face the girls for a few days…He went and apologized to the teacher for sleeping in the class…Only then did the teacher know that NK could sleep with eyes open…lol!!!

Wish I too could…but reality is bitter…I can’t so I have to find some other way to keep myself awake…

All that I can do now with absolute faith is sleeping///lol!!! Grrr…God, help me keep my eyes open the whole day… Else can some of you get me two matchsticks…

The Himalayan Rally Path...

Unlike me, I haven’t written anything for long time, right…yeah, actually speaking, I have been really busy…Guess what, a gang of 9-10 of my relatives are landing today for a 20days vacation…hehe!!! Naturally, we have been setting our house and then ourselves ready to welcome them…Its going to be fun…It’s my paternal aunt and her grandchildren…so, I can say, there r my cousin’s kids…Gosh, its going to be fun and hectic too…gonna have days of sightseeings, late nights, less sleep, sleepy office hours…and so on…

Excitement was the word that was on the top priority till yesterday...buttttttttt…from yesterday the word ‘Worry’ and ‘Irritation’ topped it…tell me why…I mean…Should I tell u why….nghaaa L …So…what happened was…Day b4 yesterday, my mom been to a shop to get herself some plants for our house…the last touch to the interior designing…and what did she come back with…ofcourse she came back with a very tall green plant which is beautiful for sure…but more beautiful was the red marks that was forming on mom’s body…

By midnight, she started feeling ichy and by early morning 4 she woke me up and I saw an Alien standing in front of me…God, that was Mommmmmmmm….She was all red and swollen out…looked as if she gained almost 50 years in a night…She looked horrible and unrecognizable…She was rushed to the emergency…and by 6 she was getting back to normal…We assumed maybe its some insect bite…By evening, when I was back home after office, she looked normal, just for her face seemed a bit swollen as if she slept for too much long hours…But couldn’t disagree with her when she said she looked like a ‘Chinese’…hehe!!!

But then…today morning, as we r all set to welcome our guests…my mom woke up again with yet again heavy swellings and redness all around her body..thank god, this time, the face was spared to a large extent…Anyways, now she went to the doctor again and got another shot of the injection she had ystrdy….and expecting the swellings to disappear like yesterday…

Now the question is…Can this be an aftereffect of Insect bite…Can it stay for so long…Don’t know…Mom, didn’t wanted to check with a Skin Specialist, as she feared it was time consuming...uhmm..anyways, I need to take her to the specialist today evening for sure…

But nowwww…my issue is…I have quite a number of bumps on my either cheeks as if a 100 mosquitoes treated themselves on my cheek blood…and just now, I notice two big bumps on my forehead….and somehow, when I remember mom’s swellings, I feel, itchy myself…and am literally scratching and pinching the bumps…

Trust me, friends…Now U can very well compare me to the Himalayan Roads, filled with hills and pits…holes and moles…U-pin turns and deviations...and when I move my fingers thru them…I feel as if I can very well do a…

Himalayan Rally…

NB: As for mom, I am sure the doctor's medicines would do wonder for her...But do give me some suggestions and remedies to banish and vanish these intruders on my face...It is really irritating to feel that I have something longer than my nose on my face...and I really doesn't want to scratch them and make more marks on my face...Afterall, I have such a beautiful face (sarcastic??? naaaaaaah!!!)...hehe!!!

Me...??? The Empress...???

Hey Guys,

I was just going through some blogs and found a Tarot reading thing...have I ever told you I love such stuff..Palmistry, Astrology, Face Reading, Tarot Card Reading...Somehow, I wouldn't mind checking them out any time...I had gone to such a extent that I even went out with a a colleague (who was so close to a stranger then) just bcoz he said he knew an Astrologer who was good at his job...

Even b4 my colleague finished saying this, I asked him to take me there and I just went with him even without informing my family...He took me to a Hotel apartment and as we were waiting for our turn outside the door, suddenly it dawned on me...'GOD, How crazy I am for coming out with a person who I had just met...and that too to such an unknown place...What if the colleague was a bad person and was taking me to some trap'...My heart was beating fast and as I showed a strong face outside, inside I was praying hard that nothing bad shouldn't happen...hehe!!!

Anyways, nothing negative happened...we went in met the astrologer...said and heard some tit bits from here and there and came back...and thus started a good friendship between me and my colleague...He was indeed a good person...Thank God...

Ok, now I have really deviated from my main story...So, thing is, ...I found a Tarot Card Reading site and I too answered some questions in there and got a card for myself...I am putting that below for you all to read...Trust me, I didn't understand much on that...

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

If you want, you too can try it out...

A DiL-MiL Story – DiL Version

The moments are nearing…Soon, Miss will become Mrs…a total blankness was all that she had in her mind…She had pasted a Closeup Smile on her face for the past 48hours and waiting for this one moment….The beautician was doing the last touch-up of makeup on her face…a look into the mirror and she thought, “Uhm, I am looking beautiful…”…Just then somebody came in…Hey, Grandpa…and he is bringing in someone with him… A Lady just barged in and hugged her… Took a while for her to realize it was none other than her would-be Mother-in Law…here on, MiL…

Ok, now the MiL and the DiL meeting for the first time. In this century of technologies bride and groom’s family met through an advertisement on the newspaper...The NRI groom met the NRI bride as per instructed by his family back home …an OK by the groom..Marriage fixed…and thus the first day the MiL meeting the DiL became the D-Day itself…Anyways, there was not much reason for the MiL not to approve of the DiL…as DiL was beautiful and adorned in gold from head to toe…The marriage was a royal feast to watch with the auditorium and the two extra halls packed with guests watching the whole function in CCTVs…uhmmm…afterall…A Grand Marriage…

Soon the bride became a wife and placed the first foot into her new house…The house bustled with relatives…She was taken to a room and asked to change her clothes…Ha, that was a relief…In 20 minutes she changed to some comfortable clothes and less number of ornaments and came out to meet the groom’s relatives…Aha…What happened…why such a silence in the house…Uh, Is this a dream…or reality that all the relatives had left…All that remained was the MiL and the BiL watching TV…Hubby having some coffee…

This is not what she expected on her first day of marriage…this is not what she had seen at her family…she thought it would be fun as it was in her family when her cousins were married…Anyways, nothing happened…She just walked into the TV room and stood there…She replied a NO for hubby’s concern if she needed anything…Then, as if to the TV, the MiL said looking at his newly wed son, “What do you want to eat…Have to buy something from Hotel…” Another shock passed through the DiL…She asked, “Mom, nothing to eat here…???”…MiL replied, “Ha, we didn’t cook anything today na…there is some left over rice and curry of yesterday in the fridge…”

DiL was more than happy with rice…She happily stopped her hubby from going out in the night in search of a Restaurant in that remote village area…She got into the kitchen to maybe warm up the food from the fridge…Not so happy for leaving the TV, MiL too joined…Soon the rice and curry was served and ate by all four of them…MiL hurriedly ran back to find her position in front of the TV…She really couldn’t miss the reality programme showing in the TV… DiL spend another 2 hours trying to clear up the mess in the Kitchen and clean up the kitchen to a proper hygienic one…She thought, “Maybe the marriage rush is the reason for such a horrible kitchen…Afterall, only MiL to clean the stuff, right…How can she do everything alone…” As a dutiful DiL, she happily cleaned up the place…Between her hubby jokingly teased her with an old saying… “A new bride would sweep the roof”…

That was the first experience at her marital house…

Six months later…DiL & Son just came for a short vacation…DiL wanted to give a surprise to her MiL…So didn’t inform her about their surprise vacation plan…Dreaming about a happy, exciting, surprised meeting scene, DiL ran into the house…Hubby was still in the car trying to park it…

First expression of Mil – “Haaa…Youuuu two…I thought somebody else…WHY did you come without informing…I don’t have anything to eat for you both…You have to go and buy something to eat…”

First reaction of DiL (ofcourse a bit of depressed at MiL’s reaction) – “Uh, No, actually, We got a 4 days leave by chance and I thought we will give you a surprise…Don’t worry Mom, we will buy food from outside…”

The bags were being carried into the house and hubby entered house and went straight into his room…DiL just started removing her sandals, then…MiL came in…

Second set of conversation after the initial expression – “OK, anyways now u have come..its ok…but let me tell you something…LIKE LAST TIME DON’T BLOCK MY TOILET PIPE AND THEN JUST LEAVE…IT COSTED ME 2000Rs TO REPAIR THE BLOCK LAST TIME…”

This time, it was a SHOCK on DiL’s face…she was not really looking forward for such a set of love and affection from her MiL when she wanted to give her a sweet surprise…instead, her MiL was giving her a SHOCK of her life…Can any mother say so to their kids who came lovingly to her after months just to see her…DiL couldn’t imagine…Still DiL replied, “But Mom, I didn’t put anything that could block the pipe…” Hubby replied, “Mom, we didn’t put anything into your toilet…It’s been years you have built that toilet, naturally it might have got blocked after all these years…Don’t blame us for that…” Conversation that evening ended there…The mode went back to Watching TV again…

Back as an NRI…far away from her MiL; she lived her days…still she realized so many truths of her marital family…She realized the big difference between the family she dreamt of ( the family she has seen till then) and the family she had in real… Even if physically MiL was far away, MiL always succeeded in giving that “Negative Touch / Effect” in DiL’s life to make the situation unpleasant…With time, DiL was learning that her MiL was not what she wanted and expected…Still, she didn’t know WHAT WAS WRONG nor she understood WHY HER MiL WAS SO…DiL never showed any indifference and behaved as if nothing was wrong…

Another eight months after the 4 days leave…its been more than one year of her marriage…this time it is a 20days leave…the next morning of their arrival at the MiL’s house…the four members of the family sat together for breakfast…Hubby had his breakfast and went off to the verandah of the house to read the Daily…DiL wanted to give company to her MiL and BiL and chat with them…Between the conversation, MiL announced….

“I NEVER WANTED THIS MARRIAGE TO HAPPEN…MANY PEOPLE SAID MY SON WOULD HAVE GOT BETTER MATCH…THERE WAS ANOTHER PROPOSAL WHO WERE READY TO GIVE HIM 2 APARTMENTS AND 1 CAR…BUT WHAT TO DO…HE WANTED TO MARRY ONLY YOU…FOR DAYS, HE CALLED ME AND BEGGED TO LET HIM MARRY YOU…FINALLY I HAD TO SAY – DO WHATEVER YOU WANT”

Aha…sooo…Mystery unraveled…DiL joined 1 & 1 to 2 & 2…She understood the meaning of the indifference she saw…She couldn’t believe what she heard…After all that love and respect she had for her MiL…in return...???

And that was the beginning of every DiL’s story…It became the Home Page of the never ending epic named...

“100000000000001 Tales of the DiL and MiL – DiL Version”

NB: The above are pages from the Real Life Happenings of a Daughter-in Law…Any MiLs could have a totally different version to say…Still this is the DiL Version…I won't say all MiLs are not sweet and like above, but atleast some are...

Why History...

Text books, Note Books, Lectures and above everything Exams…Do you love them…Uhmm, I don’t…Rather I hate studying for exams…But the issue was I had this big ego of always be among the Top students…During my 10 years in the girls only convent school, I did have a rough patch in my studies…Those were the years, when I really flunked in studying…The whole year I was behaving as if I was allergic to text books..and the days before the exams were days of Tension and pressure for me…Bcoz, it was then I would think of.. “God, I can’t fail in my exams…I have to get good marks…I HAVE TO DO WELL IN EXAMS…”…So days before the exam, I will take out my text books and start studying… Somehow, with me, grew my over confidence that I can study the whole text in 2-3 days…just like that…and still get good marks…and it always worked with me…so the more I became lazy…

During those days of last minute studying, every year, I promised to myself… ‘From next year, I will study daily portions…Please god, help me this time to finish these portions before the exam day and also help me get good marks…’… Now, as I write these lines, I really feel ashamed of myself… For making promises I never fulfilled…Wonder, why god always spared me from embarrassment of getting bad marks…Somehow, I always managed to get good marks…I was so from 01st standard to 09th standard…and trust me, I might study any other subject…but never ever Social Science…which comprised of History, Geography, Economics and grrr..there was one more in the genre…what was it…god, I really forgot what I used to hate…

So, when I used to get good marks for all other subjects, I was like “just pass” for the Social Science paper…For that reason, I used to get a fair share of my mom’s scoldings…still I was shameless…I continued the same hatred towards that subject…

Now, as a general tradition, the 10th Standard was considered a TURNING POINT phase for all students…I remember, my mom telling me when I was 5 years old that I should get highhhhhhhhhhhhhh marks for 10th standard exams…lol!!! Naturally, I grew up with this fear, when will I reach my 10th standard…I could guess, that it would be a nightmare year for me…and finally the year came in…

Soon after the schools reopened for 10th standard, one of our neighbouring house got vacant…not for long, the tenants came in..and guess what…My nightmare went worse with the new neighbours…The new neighbor was none other than one of the teacher at my own school…and…………..

She was a Social Science teacher……….

U can imagine…my mom’s happiness…the very next day, I was sitting right near the teacher…as a new tuition student…I had no emotions in me to show…I was blank…Bcoz, at school, u could sit very well; as u could waste ur time by drawing pictures, dozing off, playing book cricket..and anything…But here, just below her nose, what can I do..other than listen to her…She made it more worse for me, when she decided to ask questions after every class to make sure I was not sleeping (with eyes open...)…Thank you God…you made my life wonderfulllllllllll….

Soon, I got company…6 more girls from my school joined us…(maybe they too had mom like mine...) hehe !!! the best was, one of my neighbor, G, a boy who was a Complete idiot (not sure, if he was an idiot or just lazy like me) in his studies too joined the batch…thus he became the only boy in the class with 7 girls…naturally, he never studied his portions and when it was Question Time, he generally found his way outside as Punishment…and tht embarrassed him…The teacher even started new styles of punishment by making him sit amidst the girls…Lol..u should have seen his face…

Anyways, what ever said and done…nightmare or no nightmare…this new tuition class brought in a change in my approach to studies…rather, I was forced to…I started studying my daily lessons and always got good marks and appreciations for the teacher…Naturally, I wanted to be the best among all the other students…How meaaaaaannnn….Right??? But, trust me…furing 10th standard, that was the spirit every students had in that class room…except for G…(hey, btw to avoid suffering alone, he forced one of his friend also to join the class…so he got company…he didn’t have to sit alone in the class of girls…but then, his friend managed to study a bit better than him…sooo…during punishment sessions, G had to be alone at times…)

There was another horror waiting for me…I could never play or enjoy with my cousins and friends during that year (uhmm, we used to daily play hide and seek…and being me, I used to scream and shout during the game due excitement…and the whole locality could hear me…)…bcoz, the moment the teacher heard my voice, I would hear a long call… “Hey girllllllllllllll….what r u doing there…??? Playing….???? Come here….Bring ur text books…” and with a sad face I will go over to her place… She made me sit there at her house and study and even read the portions loud enough for her to hear…Needn’t be Social Science…But any subject…I would sit there reading aloud from text books... at times hiding my face to my cousins who would be peeping in thru the door and laugh sarcastically at me...I think it was my teachers Ultimate Aim not to let me waste my time…(Lol, I literally had to play with no sound coming out of me…or would completely make sure that she was not at home…)

At the end, I scored a 99% for my Social Science…Would u believe that…and trust me…even today, if u ask me to explain French Revolution…I can recite the whole essay even while sleeping just like any poem…I learnt my subjects…or rather she made me study…that well...For the results, even today, my mom is grateful to her…She always says, "IF NOT FOR TEACHER, MY DAUGHTER WOULD NEVER HAVE GOT THIS MUCH MARKS…"

Sheepishly, I have to agree…. The truth here: I have to admit that the whole treatment really helped me do my exams absolutely well...and I scored a total of above 90% for the Public exams…which in turn, meant an easy admission to any school / college I preferred…Even G managed to pass the exams…even if not for other subjects, he got decent marks for Social Science…

Now, you might wonder…What is there to teach in those subjects…It was not about teaching the subject…It was all about somebody being constantly there behind u to NAG U, FORCE U to study the subject…and that’s exactly what my teacher did…and trust me…I had many teachers in my life…But the gratitude I have for her, I have for none…She was the Best Teacher I could have ever got…

And today, after years, I feel sad, I am not in touch with her for long time…as once I came here, she shifted her house and heard she went to some other city…and thus I lost contact with her…Today, I promise to myself, that during my next vacation, I will surely try to locate her and go and see her…

Well, now, the big question…that I still think of…

Why trouble the poor kids…Why we need to have exams…Why study to get good marks…or atleast…

WHY HISTORY ??? :( :( :(

NB: I should really be adding this one line too…As expected, I got admission in Science stream..and thus I finally said goodbye to Histories and Geographies…(atleast I thought so…)…But as fate would have its final say…The very ME who had sworn that I would never ever study those subjects finally ended up studying only them during my graduation….lol!!! For my graduation, I decided to take up Communication with English Literature…and thus ended up studying not just History…but all sort of histories…British History, World History, English History…that history, this history and what not history….and see today, now I am writing my history and making u people hate History….hehe!!!

What can I do...???

U might be surprised to see me again today...Actually, I need a favour from you all...I need ur suggestion...they are valuable for me...I am absolutely in a bad mood..or rather a sad mood...I am smiling and laughing, but its hurting me inside...So...I need ur help...

So, the thing is...the person who I am talking about is the same person who was mentioned in my second post in this blog...In the post titled "Years Back"...The person to whom I spoke about the day 10years back is the same person I am talking about here... Lets name him 'X' for the moment...

So almost after 5-6 years, I met him again in 2007...that was when he got married...We washed off all the indifferences we had in our minds, or rather in my mind and we met...Or to say, he and his newly wed wife came to see me and my newly born son...He gifted him with a Gold Chain...I was seeing him after years...there was a bit of embarassment (atleast inside me) [of the past] in between us...Still we behaved normal and from that day, we became friends again...We spoke to each other occassionaly and shared fun and good things of life...Along with it, we also spoke about what went wrong between us years back and cleared all our misunderstandings, anger and frustrations...We became like any normal, good friends...

His wife and I too became good friends...Even if in the same city, we never met due to our mechanical life in this country...So after 2007, I have never met them also...Still, there was a good rapport between me and him & his wife...Soon, his wife became pregnant...I gave her full support and advices through phone...We spoke very often discussing her concerns and fears...I helped her in what ever way I could...through my words...Soon she left for her native place for her delivery....and last November they were blessed with a Baby Boy...I told him, that I will surely visit them once he brings his wife and baby here...

He too joined his wife during delivery and soon came back, so that he could save his vacation for the baby's baptism...In March, he went back to see his baby who was 4 months now for the main purpose of having his Baptism done and also maybe bring his wife and baby back with him...I couldn't call them in India as I had lost their telephone number in India when my mobile broke down...

Yesterday being Easter, I wanted to wish them...but couldn't...In between, I send an Easter Greetings to all my X'ian friends which also included a common friend of ours...rather; she was his friend and I met her through him...Now, today I got a reply from her for my Easter wishes...

Hi da,

Thnx for the wishes. How r you? Hpe u n ur family are doin gud. Are you aware of X's loss. His baby died a week before, had fever and was admitted has diagnosed as meningitis. X's India phone number is +9196xxxxxxx. Nothing more do keep in touch.

Love L

I am shocked...I am upset...I am sad....I really don't know what to do...I cannot imagine how could they take this in...If it was me, I would never be able to overcome this pain...How will they be...

I dialled his number...the ring went through, but after 4-5 rings I disconnected the call...As I didn't know, what should I be saying...What wil I say...I want to talk to them and console them...I know thats what a friend should be doing now...But, when I cannot console myself, then how can I console them...Having the baby with them for 4 months and then loosing him...It is unbearable...I really wish God give both of them the courage and strength to face this mishap...

I really wish, if I could hug the mother and console her...But I can't do anything...My dear friends, U tell me...

"What can I do...???"

Robotic Pain & News Channels

A Robot…that’s what I am today..yeah, u read it right…I am a robot today...maybe an old model of the robot genre…bcoz I think even new model can walk better than me…uhm…I am all stiff and walks as if I have bandage all around my body that is not letting me walk properly…U should be wondering now whattttt…

Ok, so now the story is…I have this depression thing going on in my mind due to the little protruding tummy…after a cesarean delivery I got my baby and this tummy…I was so slim and never had something called tummy even before I was pregnant…Yeah, my mom used to get upset with me when she used to wrap the sari around me…as she felt it soo pathetic that I had no tummy to tuck the sari in…but after the delivery, grrrr, I hate this tummy…

God, I am going off from the track..save ur souls..Anyways…as part of the fitness regime…I rejoined a dance workshop…againnnnnnnnn…yeah, I did this now almost 2 ½ times…1/2 because last time when I joined, my son had helped me by pouring water on the corridor and I got an injured back which restricted me from dancing for some time…So almost after 6 months, I joined the dance class frm yesterday…and the result…A Robotic Walk…with occasional Oooohs and Ouchsss….

Its really paining…very severe muscle pain...I can feel no parts of my body without pain…bcoz of the crunches that we did ystrdy, I have even pain in the upper abdomen…we didn’t do exercises for the lower and middle abdomen..so those r the only space that is devoid of pain…Rest of the body…from neck to toe, I am filled with pain…I can’t sit without an Ouch coming out of my mouth…neither can I get up without an OOOOOuch…

Anyways, I am atleast happy that this pain means my body is working out...which means soon I will have good results…god, may this cut off the extra tyre around my waist…grrr…I hate seeing that…My mom still wonders what am I trying to cut off…as for her, she cannot see any extra weight on me…I really think she needs to get a new spectacles…uhmmm…

Between, Did any of u watch today’s Star News or Zee News…That was the limit for me… Can media stoop down to such low levels…I really wonder, why is media forgetting their basic job…They are here to give information and not to make a fool of themselves…I am not sure if u people agree to me…butttttttttt…

So what happened was…today morning’s Star News showed Papparazi video’s of Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik at Sania’s aparment’s balcony…They r seen talking to somebody on the mobile for quite some time…They look tensed or upset or agitated…What ever!!!…News acknowledged….But then, what use in repeating the same stuff again and again in one 2 minutes..repeating the news every 1 hour or ½ hour, I can understand…but keeping on repeating the same stuff continuously…That is atrocious… especially, when they are showing an arrow mark with a Note saying MOBILE…means, they are highlighting the mobile in the hands of Sania….Can’t people see that it is a mobile she is talking on and passing on to Shoaib…Fed up of this, I changed the Channel to Zee News…

Now this was much worse than the other…Flashnews is Sania and Shoaib at the balcony…but then the main news showing is… “Why couldn’t Sania sleep yesterday night”… So, it so happened that Sania twittered that she couldn’t sleep the previous night…Now Zee News is analyzing…WHY…and to cross the boundaries of stupidism and craziness they have on studio A MARRIAGE COUNSELLOR and a PSYCHIATRIST …who are inturn giving their views on WHY SANIA COULDN’T SLEEP…

What should I say about this news…Sania couldn’t sleep because of too much Mosquitoes…grrrrrrrrrrrrr….Misusing of such medium of journalism…how could these people really work there and be called reputed journalists…God knows…maybe, there might be millions of other people who might oppose my opinion and support this type of journalism…and that is why the media survive…

Whatever…I am against ...I really feel this Robotic Pain is much better to suffer than such idiotic news reports...I really hope that someday I don’t see some doctors and some restaurant owners on the TV discussing “WHY” ; if ever Sania feel like twittering something like…

“I had Constipation...”

The Ultimate Fool of the Day...

Morning started with heavy headache…Tomorrow is week end and I was hating it to even think that my week end might be spoiled by this headache…I have been pressing my forehead with my cold hands from the moment I reached office…and as I heard one of my colleague discussing with the other about an idea to fool her husband, I realized “Hey, Its April 1st today and it’s the April Fool Day…”

Somehow, a cunning thought came into me…Uhmm…maybe I can have a little laugh by doing some prank….but then what…I am not sure, if I could get any such innovative idea to fool my family…I hate playing pranks by saying some bad things about somebody…a bit of superstitious here…but then what…

And then I got my Masterplan…Some of my cousins are visiting us from India this month end…and its still on the planning mode…uhmm…I devised my plan…I called my mom, “Mom, Aunt called from India…They all got the visa..they are flying in on 19th night….”…My mom was still half asleep, I suppose…was naturally excited…She was like .. “Wow, so quick…only 19 more days….great…I will call her now…” hehe!!! I counted one down…I repeated the same lines with my dad and husband who were already in their office…I evoked the excitement in all of them of this good news of our relatives arrival date…lol!!!

After 5 mts, I got a call from my mom…and she was trying hard not to laugh and then blasting me saying… “Youuuu….you waste my money on an ISD call…I am not going to pay for that…u will pay…” etc etc….haha!!! Then I called my dad…and got some what same response…lol!!! My husband acted a bit better saying, he didn’t get time to call India…I laughed and said… “It’s ok dear…I understood that u too celebrated ur birthday just now…Happy April Fools Day…”

That has made my day…I was expecting after effects from one of them soon…and was extremely cautious in picking up every single calls…and then I got a call from the Pizza Hut…it was a true call..it seems somebody ordered for a Pizza on my name and mobile number…I said No, I didn’t order anything..maybe it’s a prank… They said fine and the call was off….Little did I know that, that was just the beginning….

Soon my office reception had a visitor…A KFC delivery boy with a bucket of family meal…I didn’t even care to go out and told the receptionist that its not my order…and soon I started getting calls from almost all the receptionist and almost 10-12 calls from the KFC office…every time I said NO ITS NOT MY ORDER….

Finally almost after 45 mts, I blasted them off and then threatened them, that IF I GET ONE MORE CALL FROM U PEOPLE, I WILL COMPLAIN TO THE POLICE….IF SOMEBODY ORDERED UNDER MY NAME, U TRACK THE CALL AND CATCH THE CULPRIT INSTEAD OF CALLING ME AND WASTING MY TIME AND UR TIME….

Soon after this, I got a call from my mom…and I could hear her laughing…

Mom: (with giggles and surpressed laughs) Haha, heard you are eating KFC….
Me : Oh, ok..so it was u…then don’t worry..police is on the way…I have lodged a complaint and they r tracking the number…
Mom: What...Oh no…it was not me..it is ur friend…he just called me and told that he played such a prank…Your husband is also in it…
Me: Ok, then no probs…u can let them know that soon they will get call from the police…
Mom: (shocked) Hey, no…let me call them and do smthing…

After this, I got a sudden gush of calls from my friend and husband pleading to me to collect the KFC and they promised they will pay me in the evening after work…But I was helpless, I had already send the delivery boy back a million times…

But guess what, the delivery boy came back..and I went and met him..He was all miserable by facial expression…He called his manager and gave the phone to me…(the same person to whom I have threatened to call the police…)…hahah!!! He apologized for the trouble and was miserably telling me how difficult it has become for them… just bcoz of this prank, they r getting delayed for other orders…I felt bad too…I finally decided to buy the delivery in…and even gave a tip to the driver…Poor Man…he would surely get complaints from other Customers for delaying their orders…

And for me, I was angry for this silly prank, where not me but the KFC people was harassed…Just then I am getting my next call and I heard my husband pleading… “The Pizza Hut will also come…pls take that also…I will pay u in the evening…”… He knew, if he had held on to the phone for long, I would have given him a good set of lecture…

Anyways, soon the Pizza also was delivered…and guess what…the whole floor of my office got a share of the Unexpected KFC and Pizza treat…they were all thanking my husband and my friend for the treat…lol!!!

Just now my mom called me and said that it seems she has warned my husband and friend to wear a bullet proof dress if they are going to come in front of me…hahaah!!!

Now you guys tell me…at the end of the whole story…out of the KFC Delivery boy, KFC Manager, My Mom, My Friend, My Husband and Me…

“Who was the Ultimate Fool of the Day???”
