2 weeks to goIt's unsettling..
I've returned from a 160 feet bungee jump and am looking at my last 2 weeks here in the UK, with loads of work to do on my dissertation. My mind is lost, confused and there's a feeling of panic. I don't want to go back. I don't have a job. I don't know what i'm supposed to do next. I don't know what will happen next.

family tieswish i didn't miss them..
just makes me realise what family means . how our upbringing affects who we become and what we believe in..
all the festivals. celebrations. forced rituals. grumpy faces.
i know that i like cooking and i got that from mom
and i wish there wasn't so much distance between dad and me.. too much has passed between us.
i wish i could wake up to the sound of him talking on the phone or discussing something with mom over breakfast.
i wish i could something new each day for my bro and know him and his new life
i know now that i can't live away from them

It Happened One NightA rewarding end to a tough week - not exactly the end, three more days to go. But still, a celebration to remember :)
The classic 'It Happened One Night' with the ever-handsome Clark Gable and oh-so-cute Claudette. A movie I'd wanted to see for so long after ravishing its Hindi remake. And the wait was worth it. What with the impeccably dressed leading man, poignant tears of the lady and innate innocent humor that kept me smiling all through. Such a departure from today's cinema where women are just ill-dressed eye-candy. Here in the role of Ellie Andrews is a woman with a mind of her own and mouth and mannerism to match it. A romance slowly woven between the brash yet suave reporter and spoilt yet naive heiress. Wish they'd make more of these..

The journey back homeFirst came the long days after the exams, supposedly meant for work but actually spent shopping, sleeping, watching movies and day dreaming. Then started the snowy weekend. Pretty, scary, curseful. My reactions in that order. One of the heaviest snowfalls UK has seen - which forced Heathrow to close dowwn for 2 days. Endless hours spent checking minute by minute weather updates, Naational express disruptions, Heathrow airport update. Contingency planning, worrying, praying and then resigning.
Then came the Monday morning when I said goodbye to Warwick at 7.30 am. A delayed journey to the airport, a hustle through the throngs of stranded passengers before I find my check in counter. Endless queueing, delays etc.. Flight eventually leaves ground at 8 pm GMT.
Reached Doha around 5 am local time, my flight having already left at 2 am and the next one scheduled for 9 pm. Thus began a 16 hour wait. And it still isn't over. 36 hours since I left coventry. Few hours of cramped sleep. And a bit of hope of reaching home soon.
My fingers are crossed.

It has been 13 long years...
We were inseperable. Mom would always find me downstairs with him.. We'd go to the market, temple, deer park.. or just anywhere.
He was my best friend. One whom I'd complain to about mom. Whom I admired and respected and loved. Wish he was here with us..
Miss you Baba

Indian beautyPerfect almond shaped shining black eyes, long lashes, a pose of poise, a delightful smile, the heart shaped face, a pout to die for.. She sits staring at me with a cream biscuit. Basking in the attention she gets. A little Indian beauty who will have a line of suitors in years to come..

Welcome to Bangalore!A month and a half in a new city..
Nothing better than a bus ride in the rain.. Hindi songs of pooja bhatt movies of the 90's playing on the local FM of a city miles away from home.. flooding you with nostalgic memories of Saturday nights spent watching movies with the family..
Miss you

Good FridayIts the perfect holiday.. a life I'd always wanted to live.
A picture perfect room.. just the one I've always wanted. A balcony that is my abode for the moonlit nights under starry skies. The curtains.. cupboard.. bedside.. TV.. balcony view.. neighbourhood.. Breakfast with friends, evening strolls in the cool breeze, endless chitchat with friends, phone conversations in the chilly balcony. Makes me feel free. And alive. And happy. And peaceful.

SurrealMint enrobed in dark chocolate - be it lindt or after eight - the pleasure is surreal
Just thinking of the time dad first got a box of After Eight for bro and me.. The 8 - shaped metal box, with lines of individual packed mint chocolates - was more like a delicacy!
Chocolate is one of the best things to happen to mankind, chocolate and mint is one of the best to happen to me :)
Bitter sweet chocolate with a strong refreshing twist of mint that floods the mouth in a single bit - each bite is simply irresistable. Go try it!

ViolinistaThe strings quiver in a high tenor producing the sound of passion that my soul just absorbs.. The violin plays effortlessly as though with a heart of its own relaying emotions that have never been better expressed. Layer by layer it travels deeper into me.. uncovering what it passes. Words forming from nothing, the notes drawing tears out of one's eyes.. to give company to my heart in this solitary moment. The song plays on, releasing what's inside me in a form that can just be described as ethereal.
An encounter with great music.. The best heart to heart conversation ever.
(The track is from Schindler's List - A violin solo by Itzhak Perlman)

The meetingshe stood outside his building, waiting for him to return from work. he didnt know she was coming - it was gonna be a tough one. she said she wont keep any contact but this was it. he looked he hadn't slept in months, eaten in years. those burn scars, tired eyes.. she just looked on searching for words. 'hey' was all that came till a minute later 'lets walk?' and he walked away..

shayariuski har baat chehre pe muskan lati
uski aankhen kya kuch keh jaati
jaise kisi aur duniya se wo aaya
ek nayi zindagi ka roop dikha gaya
uska khayal dil se na jaye
ye madhoshi mujhe sataye
Kyun hota hai aise jaanu na
Ki is tarah koi dil ko chhu jaye
उसकी हर बात चेहरे पे मुस्कान लाती
उसकी आँखें क्या कुछ कह जाती
जैसे किसी और दुनिया से वह आया
एक नयी ज़िन्दगी का रूप दिखा गया
उसका ख्याल दिल से न जाये
यह मदहोशी मुझे सताए
क्यूँ होता है ऐसे जानू न
कि इस तरह कोई दिल को छू जाये
