Monday morning..

The server is down again here...I don't know why these guys don't do something about it. No tool can be operated without it.It's like load shedding which the government does..Even IBM should do this and inform everyone that from so and so time , there is gonna be no connection, so plan your activities accordingly..
The weekend was very refreshing and ofcourse with the amount of shopping I did I am gonna feel good about it for the entire week.I bought this very cute bell for dollar, one of those tibetian kinds, and tied it around his collar..He is so confused as he just can't figure out where the tinkling sound is coming from when he moves..keeps on looking at me with his innocent deep lovely eyes..
wanted to go see mughle-azam desperately this weekend..went twice but got no tickets..can't beleive so many youngsters are dying to see this one..went to this aweosme cafe on saturday called ' turtle cafe'..it is in a bookshop and is one of those cozy places where u can spend ur enite day doing nothing much in particular..but is like overly priced..the gooey chocolate cake was awesome and one of the best I have ever had and the crowd is also worth checkin..so this place is definitely on the list for all you people, when u visit delhi..

Ever had one of those days when you just carry on...but don't feel like..I didn't have to go to work today but ended up having an extremely busy day..Destiny is like the wierdest thing that can happen to you.. I met someone today for the second time...It was somebody I didn't really want to meet ever again in my life..but god forced it upon me and here I am sitting and getting mehandi put at my friends wedding and this person comes along and sits right next to me..It actually struct me later that everything that happens and is happening is there for a reason...and I have no control over the inevitable..
Looking at all the money that is being spend by people in Delhi for the 15,000 odd weddings taking place here this week, I really wish it was put to more resourful uses..The amount of food going waste is not even funny..people say that your own wedding is once in a lifetime event..so why relent..I wonder what I am going to do on mine..
oh and one of my friends thinks that this blog is very boring...so if u think so too please tell me and also then give ur suggestions..

Bruno

Have been missing my dog Bruno a lot lately. He passed away recently. Having a dog is like the best thing that can happen to you. the unconditional everlasting love.oh man....i live for it.
He lived for 12 years. and mostly people would say that had lived his life. but Bruno wasn't like that. He has the zest to carry on for another 3 or 4 years. When he fell ill that day, I thought he had a bad cold and would be fine by evening. but he didn't get alrite and during his last few moments on this planet i knew he wasn't gonna live. he had this faraway look in his eyes, like he was connecting with the outer world and wasn't even responding to my calls.
well...I do believe in life after death and I know he is fine..
This whole detachment bit gets to me..How can one be detached from your loved ones. and if their is so much love then why do we have to say goodbye??

Trip to Calcutta

hey...
Just got back from calcutta last night. Had gone their for Sumedha's engagement. Sum( Thats what we call her) is one of my closest school freinds. Lemme tell you about my gang from school. I went to an all girls convent school and our group consisted of five of us.Geetika( who is also my best friend studying at michigan right now), Nisha( who went to MIT, Boston and is now working in New York), Ridhima( who got married to Hans this january), Sumedha and of course the great old me!!
We five have lived our school times with each other and are still pretty much close.
So Sum has decided to marry Abhi( who she met at LSE).
Man, the minute our flight landed at the Calcutta airport( which looks like the bombay central railway station) I just kept on thanking god that my posting was shifted from IBM Cal to bangalore and finally Delhi. If I had to work in that city I would have surely left this job.
We were traveling with Sumedha's family and all the chacha's, mausi's , nani , dadi etc...Most of them are Punjabi's and very jovial and fun loving.So it was a like this big hungama party!!
Abhi is like a millionaire and so we got 7 star treatment throughout. W e were put up at the Hyatt( I loved my bathroom which was bigger than my room)..
Neways I wonder who says that bengal is famour for it's famines, coz all we did was eat, eat and eat. And the most awesome food.I had decided to wear a red sari on the night of the engagement( and I am not all that great at carrying one)..So it took Ridhima like 2 hrs to make me wear it , only to the effect of it opening up in the middle of the function!!!and then we rushed like mad to the rest room along with the auntie who was standing closest to us..
There were no cute guys around..only the marwari men...with their big bellies and paan stained teeth and probably loads of money..but no thank you...
After the function we decided to go clubbing and went to 'tantra'. I actually liked that place ( reminded me of some of the clubs in Pune).Had my regular breezer and a dose of the calcutta cool crowd..
Back home now..Its a lazy day..it's a holiday ..I love this season in Delhi..Its not too hot nor too chilly..The air has a slight nip and the afternoon sun just wants to make you curl up in bed with a book..
Made lots of new friends during this trip and also revived some old connections!!
