Finding My Mr. Right...

Yeah Mr. Right!! In every girl’s life this person has to enter at some point, when & how that differs.. But before that, one has to go through an array of Mr. Wrongs who are certified as gr8 guys by our dear parents, family, relatives & friends…Going through that is really frustrating and a funny experience!! How would I know of it?? ‘Coz I’m in that phase right now! As I couldn’t find a decent guy for myself since last 25 yrs, now my parents are doing the honours..:d & i'm going through the torture!!

But seriously, i’m yet to know how will I know HE is the ONE by just looking at his photo or by meeting or talking to him...Is a mere liking enough for one to decide on spending your entire life with eachother for better or for worst, in sickness or in health?? Will there be a lightning/thunder/rain when I meet my guy or will there be what they say” Ringing of bells or shehnaai in my ears” Frankly…I HAVE NO CLUE..

Thinking, a lil bit of research would help me…I asked my mom, why she said yes to dad and her answer was”U Crazy Wild Horse (that’s what she calls me), kuch bhi poochti hain.. There was no such thing as saying yes or no for a girl in our times; it was fixed by our elders...” I was like :o NOWAYS! Now I wouldn’t accept that route :d so I asked my Di the same question and she said,” I don’t know..but something felt right the moment she saw him…she just knew it after talking to him. So don’t worry, u'll just know!!” Now that confused me even more… But after listening to all this & heavy amount of coaxing from my family & married friends on my 25th Birthday I decided to step into the category of “Single & Ready to marry”

And guess what I even got a proposal (man where were these guys when I myself was looking out!) Our Kundli matched, his family was good and after talking to the guy came to know even he was just perfect! But even after all these positive signs...I just couldn’t say YES! After talking with the guy for 40 mins, I realized 4 things:

1. I talk a lot
2. I’m not ready to settle down yet.
3. I don’t need a PERFECT guy
4. My Di was RIGHT AS USUAL!


I used to have a long list of what I didn’t want in a guy-No curly hair, No beard or moustache, no Bad habits-smoking, drinking, etc, and the list goes on… But now I just laugh at my silliness...Though I would be still adamant on the bad habits part, after this small incident I realized if he is the one even his imperfections or shortcomings become endearing...

So, whether I like it or not, one day I would have to lose my spinsterhood & also other benefits attached to it...but till then I will enjoy my freedom to the fullest, leaving Mr. Cupid to the task of searching My Mr. Right & bringing him to me, as I’m too lazy to put that effort ;)

Till then the trial & error continues…………

Love

School Life...The only Life...

Today, as the end of school life draws near...

walking down memory lane...
a glimpse of the bygone days...
as the past flickers by...
as moments turn to memories...
magical mesmerising mystical memories etched in my heart...

cherished forever...
daily dose of jugguja... :-p
water (and food!) fights... :-)
our reserved table in the library...B-)
the drum beats, the march past...
the Christmas bash...coloured hair...
santa caps...:-p
*sigh*

Standing on the threshold of life...
old spirits surround me...
comforting, familiar, encouraging,
sympathising, enlightening, ever present...

...As the past trails behind...
every red brick with a tale of its own...
each chime of the bell writing history...
Clinging to these very uniforms...
a journey from childhood to adolescence...
a mystery in itself...
As bits & pieces collected over the years are refreshed...
a collage of love & hate...
experiencing a bitter sweet contrast of pleasure and pain...

And yes there is a vast expanse...
with vistas unexplored...
Though there is beauty in age...
by comparison with the beauty of childhood it is nothing...
For many...this is merely 'school life'...
for me it is simply 'LIFE' :- )

The years spent here,
the tears, the smiles, the laughter...
I'll breathe their presence...
...ever after
Good ol' school days...
*sob sob* :-(

1st Love...

I still remember the day we met,

U were shining in the glory of sunset..

I could hear no sound in the background,

Except for your name which was saved in ma heart safe n sound..

We shook r hands & I don’t know why,

There was a tingling sensation & suddenly I was shy.. You couldn’t get my name so asked me again,

But I dint mind repeating it over & over again..

I don’t remember what was our conversation,

But there was lots of smiles & hesitation.. We spoke for hardly few minutes but I wished it would never end.. And when it was time 2 say bye, could also see the hesitation from your end..

After saying bye when u looked back again & smiled, I knew it was no coincidence, our meeting was destined.. You were in my thoughts all day through, I just couldn’t w8 for the sun 2 rise again, so that I could see u ..

Next day we saw each other & greeted with a hi, This tradition of hi & bye continued as time passed by..

But one fine day we had combined lecture, And seizing the opportunity we sat together..

From that day onwards a beautiful story started weaving, The laughter, the teasing, the caring & sharing..

It was like an enchanting dream, My life was flowing in a beautiful valley like a stream.. I always believed in fairy tales & prince charming, But was a fool to think my love would have a happy ending..

One day it was all gone... My hands were empty my eyes wet in tears, When I saw u walking away. . I knew u would never look back again!

My heart wanted 2 stop u , But no words came from my mouth.. You said u loved me, Then why couldn’t you understand the language of my heart?

My eyes pleaded for you to cum back, My heart prayed for your return.. But I think my prayers dint reach you, Coz I never heard of you again..

I thought I would never survive, The pain won’t ever go away.. The tough part was to show others all is fine, When my heart was dying in pieces everyday..

But as years passed by, I came to know I can survive, Though the things won’t b the same, the dull ache in my heart won’t ever die.. The trust with which I faced the world was completely shattered, I started building a wall around me, to nurse my heart which was completely battered..

Now when I look back I don’t regret loving you, It was a beautiful experience; my heart would forever cherish u.. But I won’t ever wish for it to happen again, As now I don’t have the strength to start building from scratch again..

I still love fairytales & am passionate about them, But my hope for happy endings has died, my heart has gone numb.. After all these yrs, love is still a sacred feeling which ill always worship, But would never fall in love again, thus saving my heart from more weeps!!

Here We Are……………

It was Monday Afternoon, had got nothing to do, So asked my Pranku, “Ab kya karey bheedu?”

She came up with the idea of writing blogs,

And I was like-‘Whoa Baby!! Just hold your thoughts!!’

Chatting is something we love to do,

Blogging is somewhat a serious issue!

Here the world reads what we write,

And can form opinions which may not be right...

Pranku had to do a li’l bit of convincing,

But she knew she was on the road to winning.

She agreed it required loads of efforts to be put in,

But it was something new & different from our routine.

Then she told me we will be writing what comes to our mind

There is no reason for others to mind!!

We are doing it just for fun sake

Oh plss ‘Di’!! Agree to this for GODSAKE!!

The idea though crazy appealed to me,

We decided to take the plunge, SHE & ME!

We will be writing our hearts & minds out...

After reading them guys…PLS DON’T PASS OUT!!

Love ShUkShU

Hmmm hO hmMm...

Two strangers...two completely different worlds...almost two generations (Shukku is old enough to have a kid & i'm young enough to pass as one!! Am oh so dead after Shukku reads this :-!...please purchase nice white clothes for my funeral!! )...two computers...orkut...a common friend...& BHOOOM!!...a clash of two whacked out weirdos...like two sparking wires in a thunderstorm!! :-D

Soul sisters from a celestial dimension far beyond milkyway (umm...atleast on a mental plane!)...separated during an inter-planetary collision (nothing less than our very own desi 'Kumbh ka mela!' ;-) )...Why the extra-terrestrial connection between two earthlings (err..ignoring our temporary fits of 'alien-ish' behaviour!)...Maybe because our existence in each other's lives has travelled from the virtual world (no no! we ain't angels from heaven or descendants of Satan :-o...am merely referring to d world of orkut..) to the so called 'real' world... :-)

"God gave us relatives, thank God we can chose our friends..." :-p
(Nowadays orkut ain't less than any holy entity! Orkut deva ki jai^:)^)

After yapping & jabbering on topics ranging from the most mundane (Zzz...) to the unmentionable (ahem!)...spending uncountable hours online (just a little short of our fingers falling off thanks to typing!), thousands of (s)craps, cursing yahoo as many (if not more!) times, blessing msn & gtalk for being our saviours in distress :-)...we are out to tread new ground...blogging!! This blog is a 'jugalbandi' of thoughts...a roller coaster ride of random rooobish (Geoffrey Boycott style;-) )...CHEERS!!! :-)
