Asterix

Sometimes you really feel like hitting someone hard over the things that happen with you. But when such things happen with you almost everyday, then?
Then let me tell you what I do ... Forget all expressions like, "Arey! Yeh kya ho gya?", etc. and just give a dumb giggle/smile over what happened with you!

When I was going to Ahmedabad in Gujarat mail, there was one very cute girl in the compartment next to me ... Most of my time since the beginning of the journey was spent to arrange for a berth for my flatmate (who was also travelling with me on a waiting ticket, mine was confirmed), so I couldn't do much .... I thought of getting to her in the morning but alas i woke up when almost everyone had alighted from the train. And to add to that, her baapu had come to get her on the station. So much for getting to know her!!!

Tht nite when I went to NID (a college in Ahmedabad) for garba, I saw her there. And people believe me, all gujju girls look AWESOME (with a big A) wearing chaniya-cholis during Navratris. For fear of being censored from the group, I prefer to not describe her further on. Asked my friend if she knew her ... my friend said, "Kyon, milna hai? Chal,milwati hoon."

(Whosoever said that friends are angels in disguise was the wisest person on earth)

There we meet - "Lo, is se milo, yeh hai Ujala, and Ujala! yeh mera friend Asterix (name changed to preserve anonymity)"!

Kisi wise guy ne yeh bhi kaha hai, ek sunder stri insaan ki buddhi brahst kar deti hai. Immediately came my reaction, "Kya! Chaar bundon waala?" And there I gave a dumb giggle.

Everyone arnd us started laughing, and she gave an embarrassed smile. Tab mujhe laga abhi dharti phat kyon nahi gyi ki main usme sama jaaun, ya mere is joke par indra dev khush hokar baarish kyon nahi kar dete ki sab bhaag jaayen and main bhi kahin chup jaaun!!!! Kabhi mujhe apne Ahmedabad aane par dukh ho rha tha to kabhi soch rha tha ki kaash waiting ka ticket confirm hi nahi hua hota!!!!!

She lasted with us for 5-10 mins, then went somewhere to never come back. I guess woh 5-10 bhi plan bana rahi thi ki kaise bhagun yahan se.

Mere saath aisa hi kyon hota hai !!!

Finally .... aaj mera swapn purn hone jaa rha hai :-)

I always dreamt of having my own website ... rather ... a website on my own name.
After months of deciding upon my priorities, I'm finally going to have one :-)
For the people who know me, it's gonna be http://www.namesurname.com/ :-) .... Not so far away in time, I shall have my email address as - mail@namesurname.com (or for that matter, {anything}@namesurname.com :D/
[Though, I already have my email address as - namesurname@name.com :-) ... Enuf of boasting, dude!!! ]

On other thoughts, I really wonder what's happening in this world? For past 2-3 weeks, almost every girl seems to be asking me if I have a gf. Though that could have been a thought worth cherishing, but the sad part remains that though I don't have one now, I don't have any interest in the women who asked me out all these days.
:-(

Kher ... I guess, Mera Number bhi Aayega :-D

Yo!!!
Quite an eventful day :-)
Got up at 12 noon ... Sorry! Was actually kicked by the flatmate to getup. Immediately got a call from a friend RR to come over to Fun Republic Theatre, Andheri(W) with a 3rd guy.
Now, now! Someone's giving a treat and I'm not there??? Aisa to nahi hota hai naa :-)
So, had quite a filling lunch at Kalinga, Andheri(W).
Occasion - 3rd guy is about to get a job ... Lol.

Anyhow, I somehow coaxed him to complete the treat by showing us a movie at a theatre. After some real fighting-against-the-time tactic of calling up several theatres for the schedules, finally watched "Monster in Law". (Quite a nice movie)
Occasion - 3rd guy is about to get a job, so he's supposed to finance the treat ... Lol.

Meanwhile when we had some spare time for the movie, it was time for some desserts .... So had some nice plate full of ice-cream.
Occasion - 3rd guy is about to get a job, and since he's financing the treat, he should give it fully... Lol.

By the end of the movie, this 3rd guy had already spent a bomb, so we both got on one side to ask for a treat from RR. In return, a double layered aloo-parantha at Only Paranthas, Malad :-)
Occasion - 3rd guy is about to get a job, and since he's financed the treat till the movie, RR should also give something in return ... Lol.

Sometimes I really wonder, why are Delhi people known to be Kamina ;-)

Here I am ... !
This is me ... !!
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be ... !!!

About 3 years back from now, I'd started sharing the scattered pieces of my mind in this virtual world. At times, I was happy at sharing them finally with someone, at times learnt from them when I read them again after a couple of days, at times people found the ideas too wild, at times some were jealous of how much I travelled or enjoyed life, at times I was hurt and this was the only place where I could write my daily-diary and be pacified, intially anonymous but later read by few close friends of mine, this place became a junction where people could come and get to know my true-self.

But that was when I was living a life of a student where I'd write my blog at 3-4am everynight. Then one fine day I passed out ... and I changed. And I changed BIG TIME. Everything in my life changed - The way I looked at people, I understood them, the way I was looked by the people, the places I went, the new people I met and befriended, the life strained with some old friends, the work pressure took over, and this Asterix adopted to the new life style, forgetting the older charming one.

After this loooong hiatus, the idea again is to become the old self in some respects. Some changes might come for good, some will be volunteerily rejected.
For a year and more, life had chosen a route on which I was walking. Now I'll choose the route on which the life will follow me.

Keep reading ... Adieu.
