RIP..

RIP..my finches...kariya and moti,
passed away recently.

Wishes

Belated diwali wishes to everyone....this time I got to spend it with my family(parents and friends).
Thoroughly enjoyed it and was really quite memorable.

Ramblings....

Its been 15 days post my thesis submission and still am not buried in my studies as expected. I come home, relax, watch a movie and hit the bed to get up early next day for jogging. I have been really enjoying my days now. Guess now its time for me to plan up and get busy. No more lazy days, movies and facebooking.
I really think I should start reading some novels/books. Old days of book reading which I really used to enjoy should be brought back (atleast my kindle eBook will be worth its penny).
more watches and pens. My collections are pretty 'awesome' now. May be for the time being am little satisfied and my grabby behavior has lessened a bit (p.s-you are always welcome to gift me tag heurer watch or a waterman pen :D)
planning to spend this diwali with my parents. Both my brothers are staying away  and I feel parents are missing us. Hope to spend a day or two with them and try some crackers this time (who cares about air pollution).
Miss my old friends and foes. hardly get any time for them and these days its just whats upp and Fb chatting which keeps us in touch.

Watchporn...

My watch collection.
Some of the watches am using right now in Pondy(few more in Bangalore). Just love them.
Each of these were either gifted or borrowed from my loved ones. A raft of good memories associated with them which I value a lot.

P.s-
My dream is to go like these to the opd once.wonder what those patients will think of me.

Dasara...

Once again dasara.
That time of the year where marathon Pooja sessions are held at home (ancestral).days when u spend ur holidays at your home town, making merry and having good food with your cousins.
I miss all of them now.
staying in the city doesn't give you all these luxuries. You get only one day holiday and rest of the days you spend working. That festive mood doesn't bite you and we end up spending that day off just like any other holiday.

Raksha bandhan...

This day comes every year and I always miss having an own sister sibling.having being brought up in the circle of male cousins/siblings I have hardly experinced this bondage with anyone apart from my cousins who used to tie the band.as time went on and not being my own siblings  this custom gradually faded away.
Fortunately in the recent few years I have met people who have filled in their shoes and I make sure they get my heart felt wishes every year. (Not to forget my dearest cousin sister staying in Brunei country).

P.s-
so for me I think Raksha bandhan is to be celebrated with my brothers.(any day for such a thing ?)

Take back...

One thing which I really want back is my childhood... Those days of schooling ,friendship, fights,outing with cousins and parents love... Nothing is the same now....people change and time moves forward.if lucky enough when old you will still have those friends and family with whom you can relive those memories.

P.s-
My old school

Old memories

Sankey tank park...days of jogging which I miss now....

Birthday...

When you are very young people around  treat you special on your birthday...parents and cousins (friends) eagerly wait for this day and shower you with all the goodies/blessings...but as u grow up things change and they begin to ignore it and years pass by where your birthday will be just another day where only your close ones care wish you and u start believing the same....things change once u start working(earning)...colleagues/friends relive your childhood celebrations by making you feel special.....
yesterday I turned 27...feeling a bit old...have gained weight and mind is not agile as before...children around don't call me anna anymore and people treat as an adult (no more in the receiving end)....true friends, parents and special ones who really remembered wished me and made me feel like a child I was once...today am  28 and as life moves on I wanna cherish these moments and capture them...
