Fascinated by “ Meera Pandit(Deepika) of Love Ajj Kal “

Meera Pandit’s way of living an unorthodox, carefree life is mesmerizing. Her passion of crazily squeezing out most out of today without giving a damn about tomorrow can be astonishing for all mango people (ordinary people) ,.

She has the courage to fearlessly following her heart at the same time she has the guts to let her love go.

She commits mistakes but she doesn’t live with them forever. She isn’t strong enough to overpower destiny but she decline whatever she doesn’t desire. She believes in not having anything if she doesn’t get what she craves for.

Unlike any silly common woman, she is practical and selfish. But her love toward Jai perished all her selfishness and practicality and made her wait for him without even licensing her feeling to reach his senses.

Celebrated Friendship :)..... (2nd Aug 09)....

I was driven by my curiosity to google the word “Friendship day” - “Friendship Day is celebrated on the 1st Sunday of August , it basically started in 1935 in US and observing the popularity it gained in US many other countries adopted it. The United Nations named Winnie the Pooh as the world's Ambassador of Friendship.

Didn't plan anything special this friendship day because of having too many things on my plate, to be honest I didn't even have in mind this Sunday is the friendship day but thanks to Prapti for scarping me in orkut 'lets meet up this Sunday, its friendship Day'. I made sure to keep this Sunday eve free for her, did not even mind postponing my plan to watch 'Love ajj kaal' though dying to watch it!!

Prapti- I know her since class eleven, we both are crazy and silly in our own ways!! We have had blasts together since school. I remember once we celebrated a valentine day together -eating heart shape pizzas and buying heart shape gifts for ourselves. Oh, we both didn't believe in missing out the fun just because we were not going steady with any guy!! Though we have different ideals, dreams and principle in life but still we have always enjoyed each other's company to the fullest, may be because we always had good opinion about each other’s differences!!

Today my mobile inbox was flooded with friendship day messages, each message was adding a little more smile on my face and I was feeling little more happy as I was replying them one by one, making sure not to miss out a single one. Around mid day I started receiving lot of calls from friends, with some of them I had just fun chat and with some it was pouring out heart felt feelings to each other. One unexpected call was from Ritz, after some 15 years, he was my classmate in 5th standard in Allahabad, after leaving BJS (my school there), I completely lost touch with my friends there, unfortunately internet wasn't this popular that time, but thanks to Orkut and his good memory (for remembering me and sending a friend request).Though I was speaking to this guy after one and half decade, but found him to be the same funny, naughty, mischievous friend. Just before going out of my house I saw Bipasha, my best friend, online, I pinged her but her status changed to offline ..then as I was logging out of messengers to shut down my laptop and leave. One chat window popped up “ Hi !!happy friendship day!! Good you are online can chat “ . Though could chat with her long enough as I had to meet Prapti but that short conversation made a lot of difference!!

I met Prapti near forum at 5:30pm, we couldn’t resist hugging each other and as usual we complimented each other's shoes, dress and hair style. Then we decided to go to Mocca..we got up on an auto from opposite site of forum. We happily agreed to pay 30 bucks to the autowala although the distance would have been worth 14 bucks only. We were in too good a mood to bargain today!!

On reaching Mocca we had to wait for 10 mins. The silly waitress kept on telling us " 2 mins mam" till we went bonkers and blasted at her . I was damn hungry, I was starving since morning because I lacked the enthu to cook after completion of Sunday's special dusting and cleaning. We ended up ordering choco latte , cafe latte, Avalanche , French fries, Cajun Chicken, Chicken Panini, choco father followed by another choco latte & cafe latte,. The waiter was looking amazed at the eating capabilities of we ladies. Even the group of guys sitting behind us had stared at us each time the waiter was delivering our orders but who cares!!

While feasting on the yummy stuffs, we got busy revealing to each other how life is making us happy in someway and screwing us up in another, we had PJ session and then followed some serious RCAs on marriage, work, uncertainty of life, expectations. We were seeking suggestion from each other and offering undiplomatic, honest feedbacks. We were just blurting out whatever came to our mind without a thought!! We were being completely dillogical !! At 8:00PM we left Mocca and headed toward forum again. We did some window shopping there, and it was time to say "good bye" to each other, it was late.

On way back home, I was musing how great it feels -when we can dare to be our imperfect self infront of someone, when we can talk out our mind to someone without taking the pain of processing what we say, when we can confess our mistakes to someone without having the fear of losing the person , when we can trust someone with all our secrets.!! I was thinking how friends rescue me from the claustrophobic feeling which various circumstances of life plant in me again and again ,-" Thanks God for making friends !!"

A Fun Trip on '27th June 09'

That Friday morning I was engrossed in fixing my real player....my phone rang; I noticed Asma’s name flashing on it. I picked up the call and blankly said “Hello didi,wassup?? ” from the other end she responded enthusiastically “we are finally going tomorrow didi, Amarnath had shortlisted some places, you gotta come and finalize “.Her call took away my whole attention from real player and I eagerly waited for the clock to tick to 4:30PM. At 4:20PM I reached office, I turned on my laptop quickly, checked my mails and remedy(thank God there was no new ticket),I rushed to Amarnath’s workstation. Amarnath said he had shortlisted two plans after considering the metrics- distance, food availability and expense of course –it was month end after all. Plan:A- was Sangam & Mekedatu , Plan:B- was Raganathitu bird sanctuary and Manchinbele dam . Plan A didn’t fascinate me as I have already been to sangam so I voted for plan B and so, did Amarnath and Sid, and Asma is too sweet to say no to me ever

My shift was till late night 2:30 that day but my adrenalin level was too high to say no to start off at 7:30AM the next morning. I was all set to leave at 7:30AM but these guys followed Indian standard time and reached 30mins late at my place. I quickly got inside the car. Amarnath was in the driving seat, he was playing some Kumar Sanu’s Bengali Song (rather Sanu da’s song as per Sid). Sid was at his comical best like always, applying sec 377 on me and Asma. In some time his attention got diverted from sec 377 , to the Sanu da’s songs and his hilarious commentary on the Bengali lyrics didn’t take much time to force Amarnath to put on some good hindi songs. By this time we were already some 40kms away from Bangalore . Now little hunger was bothering us. Amarnath parked his black WagonR in front of a south India restaurant. That restaurant had large area on its backward. The special attraction of that place was a old turkey which was loitering around . My silly self didn’t miss the chance to pose with the turkey and made Asma pose too.

From there Amarnath drove to Ranganathittu, bird sanctuary. Its is small island in the bank of river Kauveri. The parking place and the gardens around it was pretty well maintained. After entering the sanctuary we sat near the river chit chatted a little, pulled each other legs, clicked few pics. We were able to see colony of bats though the zoom lens of the camera on far off trees from there. As we marched further in we discovered a small bridge, on looking down from it, into the water, we noticed a huge aquatic snake swallowing a frog, it was like watching animal planet live. Then on further going inside the sanctuary we notice a tree house kind of place, I got the temptation to climb to the top instantly, Asma was putting her best effort to stop me but atlast I won, Sid convinced Asma and we all climbed on it, the multitude of beautiful birds we could see from there was astonishing. We spend some time there. Amarnath was busy shooting the beautiful birds and I captured some stills. Now it was time for row boating, we went into the middle of water, we could see the birds and colony of the bats from unbelievable close quarters now , we saw huge crocodiles basking on the rocks just couple of feet away from our boat. These ferocious creature looked lifeless and didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking. Sid’s metaphor to these crocodiles were our managers who have capabilities but prefer being lazy.

After coming out of the Sanctuary we had a quick lunch and drove toward Manchinbele Dam which is basically a reservoir built across the river Arkavathi. Now it was drizzling a little so Amarnath had to slow down his driving. On the way we passed via Ram Nagar , we saw the huge rocks on which Gabbar sat and yelled at Kalia “kitney admi the re” in Sholey. Before reaching the dam the road for few kms was pathetic and Amarnath had to display his expertise in driving department to take us till the destination. The rain had stopped now. On reaching the place we sensed a tranquil atmosphere. The place had a weird stunning beauty of its own. I captured few still moments in my camera again. Asma and me went and dipped our hand in the water and played for sometime. Then we sat on the grass there and had funny, silly, casual conversation . I felt a child like happiness far off from chaos of daily adult life. Time passed quickly and it was 6:30pm ,time to start our journey to Bangalore.

I reached home at 9:00PM and was expecting some sweet dreams for sure that night. But suddenly I heard my nokia theme alarm ringing loud, I wake up and realized it was Sunday morning, hell lot of house hold work was pending. So, I was compelled to push myself back into orbit of daily routine.
