Synchronization, Updates, & Philosophy !!

SYNCHRONIZATION:
Its 6:30 in the morning.. (yawn..), feeling so sleepy.. (yawn..)
No mood to work (yawn..). Keeping my eyes open with lotsa effort (yawn..). If this table was a bit more comfortable, would have slept here only (yawn..).

Feeling hungry.
Everybody is off.
Andy came now.
Can't decipher what this doctor is mumbling. He is making me feel more sleepy.


UPDATES:
1. Orkut also blocked at my workplace now. :-/
2. Still waiting for the internet connection at home.
3. Workwise: Excellent quantity, good but not very good quality.

The break was good. Did almost all the things I had planned to do.
Watched Million Dollar Baby and Cellular. Both good movies. Enjoyed them. Made lunch for Dad, went shopping, and also spent a lot of time with Mom. The 4 days passed so soon.

Then, things were not fine after I came back from my off.
But soon everything fell into place (that's what I think, hope it is like that).


PHILOSOPHY:
I realized one should keep a Diary. I feel it does help a lot when you are having low-high times. You can give words to your feelings. B'coz those are the times when thoughts just flow and writing them down helps relieving the pressure. I feel so. Dunno how far it is true. Coz I really went through this. There were times when I was feeling so low and wanted to talk to somebody, tell that person everything.. But just couldn't do this.... or may be I din't find that somebody at that time.

May be I felt so because I din't want to share this with anyone in my family. I usually don't do that. Never tell them what wrong is going on with me. Instead just grumble and make things difficult for everybody else and me.

No, am not in that bad mood now. I don't want my blog to make me look that am always sad. Coz its not true at all. Who doesn't have good/bad times ?! Maybe, the differnce between others and me is that am using my blog to get rid of my thoughts instead of bottling them.

I started reading blogs with Unaiza's blog. That was the first blog I came across. The first blog I read. I think even she uses her blog for the same purpose that I do. At first I enjoyed it, but later I thought she is always talking about her bad times. But now that I have my own blog and I have to write, I know how it is. Happy times you share with everybody, you don't have to pen them down. But it is the bad-sad times, that you don't want to share with anybody, you don't know how to express them, you try expressing them and people misunderstand.

So I think what Unaiza does is right. Penning your bad-sad times and sharing your good times with everybody else. Of late, I have been doing that, and I will continue doing so.

Chhhhieeeeeeeeee.... I don't believe am writing (typing) all this. I sound so philosophical. Enough of this philosophy of mine for today.

My blog is the only place where I can jot down my thoughts and feelings. I can't have a diary, coz I know someone or the other will peek into my diary. My diary won't find privacy. And right now nobody at home knows I have a blog.. ;-P

In the end, still feeling sleepy (already very late, I better start work now).

I wish you a Merry Christmas..
I wish you a Merry Christmas..
I wish you a Merry Christmas..
& A Happy New Year !! :-))

Back With Updates !!

Back after soooooooooooo many days..

UPDATES:

Workwise doing well. Worked all days of this month till now, so will take off from tomorrow. Long break after a long time. As the guys are going to Hyderabad for Sush's wedding, and you know I can't go, I will be left alone here, so me too taking off.

Ghar mein system toh aagaya, kambhakt Internet connection nahi aya abhi tak. Waiting for that right now. Only 2 weeks have passed out of 4. They've said 1 month, but dunno exactly when I will get the connection. Waiting eagerly for that, then may be I can blog from home (And also can do full-time blogging, Insha Allah).

Now I can post from office, but cannot read blogs. Before I could read, but not post. Dunno what the tech people are up to.

I switched to Beta Blogger. Changed my blog color twice. First, it was pink (Anand said it looked like cotton candy, so changed), now it is blue (my favorite color).

Went for pizza with my vanmates (Powla, Cheryl, and Tanya) last Sunday. It was fun. I really really really enjoyed it a lot. After having slices of Chicken Supreme and Peshawari Chutneywala Pizzas with Pista Kulfi, Garlic Bread, and Masala Lemonade, we decided to walk back home to burn the calories ;-P. The weather was perfect for a walk. Hope we go again.

Four days off now. Will spend time with Mom. And Dad has been complaining that I don't cook anything, so will try and make lunch for him on any of these days. Planning to go shopping on one day and rest the other 3 days.

Winter is in and Bangalore is at its best with the best climate. I love winters.

That's it I think, updates all done..

And in the end...
As you gain entry into the better half of your life with your better half, WISH YOU A HAPPY MARRIED LIFE SUSH !!

Buh-byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee For Now.

Mera PC Ghar Aaya..

Yippeee...
Finally, I got my personal computer... :-)
After days of waiting and convincing Mom-Dad that we desperately need a PC, I finally got it.

Am not a tech savvy.
I really dunno much about computers.
School days we had Computer classes, but there I studied only about E-mail and a few programs like LOGO and BASICS, nothing more.
And college I used computers only for checking my mails and browsing.
It was only when I started working that I came in "real contact" with computers, that is I started spending more time using a computer.
Now I use computers for at least 8 hours in a day.

But still my computer IQ is poor. :-(

So my comp came home on November 21, 2006.
Anand helped me a lot in getting the BEST PC.
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. :-)

It is a HP product, model# 1514.
To my knowlegde about this computer (which is meagre), it has 256 MB RAM, pentium D processor, CD/DVD-RW, and 160 GB (I hope I got it all right).
I learnt to burn the first CD day before.. And it was quite easy.
So now I know how to copy, burn, and delete a CD.
Will soon start with DVDs.

Anand and Andy pull my leg a lot coz I dunno much about computers.
Just wait and watch guys, I'll soon learn everything.. And I'll burn your DVDs also (using a stove ;-D) hehehe....

I still din't get my internet connection.
It will take another month.
So am waiting for it.
Then I can blog and orkut from home. :-)

Alright, Buh-byeeeeeeee now..

Mera PC ghar aaya Oh Ramji.. Mera PC ghar aaya Oh Ramji..

Hyderabad Blues !!

Sorry Sush wont be able to attend your wedding.
Din't get permission at home. :-(

Of late, everything I get excited about doesn't happen at all.
I was so excited to go to Hyderabad. Thought would get permission from Mom & Dad, but their answer was a straight NO.

Since they wouldn't allow me to go to Hyderabad for days, I planned of going there at least for 1 day.
Had started searching flight schedules also in Make My Trip.com, but all in a vain.
They said NO !!

But I really really really really wanna go out of Bangalore at least once.

Again very sorry Sush, but my best wishes are always with you.

Wish you a Bright Future with your Hubby.

Bengalooru !!

Bangalore is Bengalooru now... :-(
My IT city sounds like a village now... :-(

How can they ?! How could they ?!
Bangalore was such a nice name, so sophisticated.
This Bengalooru sounds like a village name ('ooru' in Kannada means village).
There are so many other important issues that need attention, changing the name of the city was certainly not in crisis. Why don't they care about the infrastructure ?! It is more important than a name change.

Bangalore's infrastructure is going to dogs. Instead of looking after it, these people thought of changing the city's name.

I think they just want to make place in history, they are not concerned about the current needs of the city. They just want to be remembered as the Government who changed the name from Bangalore to Bengalooru.

I thought India was a democratic country.
And democracy is the government OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people. But here democracy is only BY the people (and these people include only our politicians). Did they ask the people of Bangalore whether they need the city's name to be changed ?!

A recent poll shows that 60 odd percentage of people din't want the name to be changed.

Our CM wants all schools to have Kannada, but recently his son was quoted saying that he doesn't know to read Kannada very well.

When there was news about Bangalore changing to Bengalooru, one of my friends, Madhavan, changed all our names. He added a 'u' after everybody's name.
Aysha - Ayshu, Varsha - Varshu, Reji - Reju, Sudheer - Sudheeru, Richard - Richardu, Harish - Harishu, etc. :-D

Let them change the name. My IT city still rocks !!
Bangalore will remain Bangalore.
The best city of India.

(I wish Aziz Premji or Narayan Murthy was the CM of Bangalore.)

P.S.

{To whoever got the idea of changing the city's name}
Dear Sir,
I feel that according to you the motive behind changing the name of our city is to show our culture and patriotism. But lemme tell you, patriotism is something that comes from deep within an individual's heart, its not what you can show off by changing the name of your city.

Hmmm.. That's all for now.
Catchya later.


Oops !
I just forgot..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAHRUKH !!

Fasting & Feasting !!




Back to work from the festive off.
Had a wonderful Eid this year.

As usual this year too there was confusion because of the moon. Some parts of India observed Eid celebrations on October 24th and the others October 25th. Same story every year.

We celebrated Eid on October 24th. The night prior everything was messed up. Got to know Eid is on 24th only around 9 o'clock in the evening. There were so many last minute preparations pending. That day went to bed only around 2 a.m. Both my forearms covered with mehndi design.

As a kid to me Ramzan signified fasting, eating delicacies made by mom for Iftiar, getting new dresses, and in the end collect a whole lot of Eidi (monetary gift kids get on Id-ul-Fitr).

But now as I am a grownup it has a different meaning, (including the above mentioned pleasures) I take the month of Ramzan more spiritually now. I think that is the only time in the year I become so religious.

This year I touched my parents' feet for their blessings. This was the first time in my life I had done that. Both were really very happy.

Got a beautiful finger ring as a Ramzan gift from Mom and Dad.

This was the first year I gave Eidi to my cousins and also collected a good amount from my uncles and aunts too. ;-)

As Ramzan has elapsed, my daily schedule changes. Am back to my normal agenda now.

Back to normal life.
Will have to wait for another year to pass for the next Ramzan.

I think this was one of the best Eid of my life.
:-))

& by the way, belated EID MUBARAK to all !!

Mad, Bad World !!

Life sucks..
Really having a very hard time in almost everything am doing.

Nobody is trustworthy..
Am beginning to feel that there is nothing such as "BEST FRIEND".
Only you can be your best friend.

There are times when am happy, not very happy may be, but at least contented..
But again there are times when life gets tough..
Why don't the happy times stay with me for a little more long ?!

I just pray for one thing.. I just want to be happy, whatever that means, at least I don't want to be hurt and shed tears for people who are not worth them.. I don't want to be sad..

If I have to work hard, I'll work.. but I don't want to be sad, it makes me so gloomy..
Everything I try to do goes wrong..

Am feeling so low.. :-(

Nothing is going on right.. Nothing is in place..

Is it the world that is mad or is it me ?!?!?
( ' ? ' )

Aysha !!

Heeding Thanu's advice today am posting about Aysha (yeah, that's me).

I have spents days and months reading Sayesha's blog.. At the end of the day, everybody around me would find Aysha reading Sayesha..

14th of April, 1986 was the auspicious day when Aysha came into existence.

Am a very good listener.. Anything you want to tell me am always all ears.

Phobias: Height, insects, putting on weight, getting tanned..

If you are good to me, am very good to you.. If you are bad to me, I dunno you..

If permited (by mom) I can be a complete spendthrift.

Desperate about losing weight. Am not obese or anything, average-built Indian girl.. but still I would love to be thin..
Will do anything to lose weight, except exercise and avoiding the food I like. (Ready even to starve)

Systematic person. I prefer planning anything I do. Very practical.

The Most Handsome Men on Earth: Abhishek Bachan, John Abraham, Shiny Ahuja, Madhavan..

My greatest fear is to losing, whatever it may be.. anyone close to me, anything I possess..

My Blog !!

Gawd !!

Finally, I did it !! :-))
