Even though I would love to have a long list of buddies in my G-talk; I have a tiny one. But I am happy about it. I have something to talk about with each one of them.
There are those who are there in your list , but you hardly ping them. Even if you ping the conversation ends after two sentences. Nope they don’t have place in my buddy list.
Again there are those desperate souls; even before sending one email; they will add you G-talk. Nothing to talk ; not much familiarity but still they add you there. Funny isn’t it ?
Oh yes I am choosy. I feel it is better to have a few good souls in my life ; than a rush crowd.

My real world does not resemble with my blog world even though both are made out of people.
I don’t know why ?

I have been happily enjoying reading those “Booooooooooo Chronicles” over HERE.
…….But I have to confess; I am ACTUALLY very scared for these Ghost -Bhoot whatever you call it !! 
I can not
- Watch a scary/horror movie in the night
- Discuss anything ghost related before going to bed !!
Ghosts/ mind games/ crap what ever ; I find them all scary !!
Having Said I love to read the ghost related books and stories 
of course in day time 
Oh this reminds me ; there was this story floating around in my native when we were young kids.
There was this fort in my native. People used to say in the night ; they can hear the sound of anklets / payals in the fort. Also this lady sings songs to sleep her baby !! 
It was also famous for well which has red colored water; hence called “well of blood ” :O
Anyways we never went to the fort ; not even tried to find the truth. May be it was just a story to keep people away or whatever !!
I guess every city has such a fort and related interesting story and a pipal tree where the ghost is suppose to be present What say ?

- When you need to copy something on a paper; you think “How I wish I could do Control C and Control V !! “
- On occasions when you need to submit an application; you quickly type it out and submit that print out.
- You feel handicapped When your mobile dies.
- When it comes to search ; all you think of goggling it. Even if it is your missing ear ring
- You Don’t remember any phone numbers. Because you rely on the phone book whenever you make a call.
- It has been really really long time since you have actually written a page long something using pen and paper. No writing a long blog post does not count !!
- You have almost forgotten how your handwriting looks like ?
- The pen you carry along is rarely used. Even if it is at use ; the occasions are mostly signing the Cheque or the credit card receipt.
- The amount of expenditure on greeting cards , note books , pens has almost come to a stand still.
- You commit mistakes when dialing a long distance call using a calling card on a land line.
Do you see yourself there ? Oh yeah I am there already !!

I was cleaning up my reader. When I looked at the links I unsubscribed most of the blogs were from the “Broken Heart” Category. I have decided not to visit any such blogs for a simple reason I fail to see zeal for life in those writings. They lack that optimism and will to give life a second chance.
I firmly believe that somethings in life are not just meant for you; at the same time it can not be a stopping stone or end of life. Life has to move on and you will eventually find something that is just made for you. Right ?
In real life outside the blog world , I have come across many people who have been there in the relationships that did not work. They had their part of down days , at certain point their life got back to normal, now they are as happy as we all are. I see a will to be happy behind all these efforts they have put in. I appreciate them for standing straight and embracing the life with open arms. That’s what is suppose to be done. No ?

Okay I wanted to write about this from long…but Chandni’s this post made me to jot down the thoughts.
I m kind of agreeing with Chandni’s take on this movie “Jab We met “.
First time :
I got the DVD. I watched the moving like mad , totally absorbed and hated Kareena totally. I was like “Man how much she yaps, totally irritating !! ” 
Still don’t know why I watched it again for the second time. Not only me ; I pulled up my both nieces to watch it with me !! ( Why bear the torture alone 
)
Second Time :
- Both my niece slept of half way through. and I went on and on watching the movie alone!!
- I loved Shahid totally. He looked so classy and so matured in this movie. Glad that he is out of his chocolate boy image.
- I started liking Kareena actually.
- I still hated the character for continuous and brainless talks.
- I loved the songs. Especially the “Tum Se hi” one. It is so so awesome !!
After that I don’t know how many times I have watched the movie. I kept wondering why I have been watching the same movie again and again. With every re watch I have landed up liking Kareena more and more.
I don’t like to say this but the truth is I love the break free character Kareena portrays. So much of enthusiasm, Innocence, taking decisions without worry of the end results, going all the way by what heart says. She sounds very irrational and childish but then probably that is something you lose as a process of growing up and something that can not come back even if you want it badly.
Damn !! Last but not the least I am kind of not liking this feeling of liking this movie and the great “Kareena”. It does not mean I will give up watching this movie and liking it more and more !

Of late I have been on movie watching spree. It keeps happening with me. When I start watching movies I go on a spree otherwise for months I don’t watch them. Anyways the post is not about my movie watching After watching so many movies; there is my mind still craving for a good movie; a worth watch; with some substance. Isn’t it ironic ?
This feeling takes me to that ERA when hindi film industry suffered badly for good movies. Remember those days of Nagma, Arman kohli, Ayesha Jhulka, Ayub Khan etc. etc. ? The worst part I have seen most of movies of that time. ( so much waste of time and money , I know !! :-|) Prem Quaidi, Aayi milan ki Raat, Sainik, Meera ka Mohan , Yaara Dildaara , Vansh, Jeet so and so forth. The list is too long. The industry lacked a good breed of actors , scripts, technics and everything else was bad. A few exceptional good songs otherwise music was also pathetic. I call them torture movies.
When recently I got a chance to watch “Bombay to Bangkok,Hastey -Hastey, Summer 2007, Aamir” I really felt the same thing. Leaving all other things apart, these movies lack a basic thing that they just don’t entertain you. I mean even if you make an effort to understand what is happening , you fail to. Forget that the script is strong enough to hook you to the movie.
It has been really a good long time since I watched some good movie. Guys suggest me some classics. May be I have forgotten that we have a good long list of classics as well.

Five things I am missing most
- talking to mom daily.
- gol-gapps.
- getting lost in shopping.
- all lovely eat out places.
- my pampering session at the parlor.
Five things I am craving for
- Kaddu and Karela ( well that’s wierd but we don’t get them here )
- Hot steaming yummy tasty,mouth watering stuff at adigas ;D
- Books ( English books are rare and damn expensive here )
- The long girly talk over the phone
- Riding the two wheeler !!
Five things I am enjoying
- The long clean roads and non polluted air.
- The swiss rolls,chocolate bread,pasta,cheese, fritters, butter bread and more fun stuff.
- The trams and metro liners.
- The day light until 9 pm.
- The picturesque landscapes and European colonies.
Five things I find wierd/annoying
- Nobody talks in English
- All the labels and names everywhere are in the local language.
- In Portuguese the spelling and pronounciation does not go along.
- There is nothing called MRP. The same thing is prized differently in different outlets.
- You have got to walk a lot and lot. The roads are extremely steep. By the time you reach the other end of the road; you have your pulse racing and sweat on the forehead.
Five observations
- People are generally friendly. They start conversing thinking that you know their language.
- It is nice to see old couples travelling together,hand in hand.
- People are obsessed with tattoos.
- Too much of PDA irrespective of venue,time and everything else.
- There is no limiting age and number to have kids.

Q1) What do you miss most about childhood ?
A1) The innocence. The carefree attitude and there was always someone who could take care of things for you. You really dont have to worry bitter realities of life.
Q2) What makes you glad that you’re at this age.
A2) A more composed and calmed perpective towards life; ability to question the comfort zone and a larger heart to accomodate and forgive the mistakes by the younger ones.
Q3) What kind of people repel you?
A3) People who are fake; who have double standards and who dont have any value system in place.
Q4) What is the biggest dilemma you have faced?
A4) Mid life crisis as i wrote about it here. It still goes on.
Q5) So what do you think of marriage now?
A5) The best thing happened to me !! Life has not been better than this before.
Q6) So would you prefer a live-in relationship to marriage?
A6) As personal opinion NO; it is not meant for me. But it does not mean that it can not work for others. People should have clear conviction of what they want in life.
Q7) What would you change about yourself?
A7) i should stop feeling anxious about future. Things are anyways going to happen and when they happen you have got to deal with them.
Q8) What do you think of the Indian youth?
A8) They should stop copying the Western culture. Taking cross cultural things is good but only when you are capable to handle it. Also they need to understand still not all things can be available instantly and “instant” things definately ask you to pay the price for that. There is no substitute for hardwork.
Q9) What about the man-woman divide?
A9) Guess things are changing. But women themselves needs to align towards this.
Q10) So you think women are less empowered?
A10) Well yes to certain extent. Not all layers have empowered women.
Q11) What would you never change about yourself?
A11) Being rooted firmly to ground no matter where life takes. Being the same person irrespective of situations of life .

- I want to get back to regular blogging. Don’t know when that will happen but it will happen for sure.
- It has been more than a month since I had quit the job. No regrets so far. Probably this was much needed break for me and I am trying best to make maximum out of it !!
- Every person is different and every body has a different problem. Like every person is unique ; the problems are unique too.
- Death and old age are the ultimate realities of life; there is no house who does not have old people and which has nt seen death.
- Let people be what they want to be. You need to choose what you want to be. Let their action not rule your behaviour.
- Have a large and forgiving heart. It does not make you small.
- Manage the account of your good /bad deeds instead of worrying why others are behaving this way.
- Life is meaningless without dreams. Dreams even if they does not get completed. Eyes without dreams make no sense.
- When you jot down your dreams; when you get back those pages just to realiaze that your dreams have turned into reality; there is no bigger HIGH than this. The feeling is so good you just can not capture in words !!
- Decide to live life in today; instead of worrying about what is gonna happen tomorrow !!
- Accept the realities of life; see what best you can do ; leave rest to the almighty GOD.
