eVeryThing outta nOthing !!

It was scorching summer and the sun was very generous in spreading his heat that day.Priya and Rakesh had decided to meet up that day at a friend's house.She was dressed in a light green kurti and skin fitting jeans and he was wearing a striped T, looking fresh and handsome.
"Hi!" Priya waved as he came towards her on his bike.She was on her bike too,Scooty pep+,her constant companion.She was always the first to reach the meeting point and today, she had to wait a good ten minutes for him to show up.She would'nt have minded if not the for the sun hitting hard on her.She hid her irritation and smiled at him.. She loved his company and was longingly looking forward to spend the entire day with him..
She picked her best that day..brand new kurti and jeans.. had dabbed a little eyeliner .. and was wearing the watch he gifted her.None caught his attention as he failed to compliment her..minimum decency u knw !!A girlfriend always expects to be admired ..or atleast teased for the efforts she puts in to impress the boyfrnd...A simple ,sweet lie, told as a truth will only increase your chances of a beautiful day... hai na??
Now having been pissed off for the second time.. she was beginning to worry..wots wrong with this boy.. Its not that he was indifferent.. he was the most caring..most romantic.. and fairly knew how to win a girlfrnd over.. but all these qualities sat on the backburner today as priya burned from inside...
They had started off.. to their frnd's house..on separate bikes(Now, this was his next blunder...The backseat is the legal right that automatically a girlfrnd inherits with her status..and now she was being deprived of that !!! )
She was still fuming... when Rakesh did the missing act. He was nowhere to be seen..she reduced her speed...and looked around for him..expecting him to catch up."What could have happened..? Did he run out of fuel?or a flat tyre?? He could have phoned me..He always makes me do what I hate most..WAITING !!!"
After what seemed an eternity,Rakesh appeared..smiling..as if nothing happened.. One look at priya and he knew she was cross.And one sweet smile and eyes that said sorry..everything melted...that was the magic between them.. they cannot be cross for long.. 2 yrs of courtship had made them expert face-readers..and each ensured the smile never faded from their faces..

They went along.. Rakesh leading the way..and stealing glances at Priya occasionally from the rear-view mirror...She knew this and let a smile appear on her face...There was some ruffling sound..and priya diverted her attention to where it came from.. She saw a cover with "Archies" written on it fly by..There was something dangling from Rakesh's handle..on closer look she found it was a small,cute purse..

Tears welled up Priya's eyes...How thoughtful of him.. and how thoughtless of her...

She wondered how he could make small moments feel special.. he had that innate quality of presenting things in a cute way,she realised.The day was turning out to be nothing of remembrance..now ,it was everything for her.. This was one of those beautiful memories she would cherish forever...

It all sums up to how you fill the moments of your life...a little effort can bring wide smiles..it speaks volumes of how much you care and how much you want him/her to feel special...

PS: Hope you liked it..Will come up with more...I just realised the "writing" thing is still alive in me :-P

crap

This is the nth time i opened my blog .. to put in something.A feeble attempt to save my blog from hitting the dust. The last n-1 times, (hope this is nt sounding like maths) I tried to think wot i was feeling the most,at that moment,so that i could try to channelise them ,add some masala and put it in text. But only frustration and helplessness showed up ,much to my chagrin. Frustration out of helplessness.. and helplessness at changing my stupid, monotonous, mechanical life..

If you are thinking I will rattle on about my present life.. then I am glad you are wrong...

This time, I will just put in the various reasons i can think of that held me from returning to blogging.. not that i m a regular blogger,but i am a regularly irrregular one.

One thing, i am not much of a thinker. If you have observed, only incidents (except for 1 or 2) make up my blog. As nothing exciting is happening with me, my blog is gathering dust.

Secondly, inspiration. I derive inspiration from other bloggers. When I go through a blog, I have that overwhelming feeling of "Wow ! Its high time I did something to my blog too !! " But like many other things, my inspiration is always short-lived.

Third,I try to think.Believe me, I do. When I have a certain idea about something, or something creative is forming in my head, or say, I strongly feel about something, by the time I am ready to put in on paper, "DISTRACTION" comes knocking!!!!

Fourth, writing is not what you can do at any time of the day.. A certain mood has to set in. And my mood is very moody.There goes my 4th reason...

If you think I am just conjuring up all the stupid-est reasons, you are definitely not wrong..
This is just to make a new start..a check to see if i can still write..

I will come up with something better next tym...
(thanks for your patience !)

adios...

Has the change changed me??

It has been 5 months into cognizant and as i sit wondering what should go into this first post, my thoughts broke loose..I forgot about the blog…I let the reins free and allowed my mind to race.. race to my previous times when i was in college…and the time i am now in…A lot has changed… lush green campuses changed to these concrete buildings.. books changed to files… pocket money changed to salaries… but has it changed me??

No..thankfully not… the past 3 months of my training were very much like college.. the same class room atmosphere..frnds, exams, gossips, leg pullings.. our beloved ‘wonton’ , biscuits, chatting even while sitting next to each other, staying till late preparing for those goddamn modules..which we knew wud anyhow pass ,those empowered sessions.. they wer a kind of revelation… forced us to bring out the best in us…. these wer the last on my mind wen i first stepped into cognizant.. and it was a pleasant surprise, a kinda extension my good old youthful dayz..

I am working now.. earning 20k bucks a month .. and life is still the same…I am the same happy-go-lucky..forgetful..stupidly intelligent gal…i still travel in buses..occasionally in car..i still go for those 500-800 range of clothes…i still look to the right side of the menu-card when i go to a restaurant..

only.. i am happy i pay myself.. i am happy i can pay for my dad.. i am happy i can give pocket money to mom !!!
It feels so good to be in such a position..

well… will stop amusing myself wid my musings..
gudday !!!!

any takers??

I was typing an sms (S.O.S rather) frantically. The java class had begun, i was in the 1st row, right under the glare of the teacher..but dat msg was urgent!! "hey get my keys re..plzz" I waited desperately for the reply. 1 min seemed ages..... Zzzzzz.... My mobile vibrated... Aaah..at last! "I m nt cuming to class re" the message read. Oh Damn it !! Another brainwave! I sent the same message to sush.."plz get my keys". After few tensed moments, "got them" came d reply. I heaved a sigh of relief... "thx v much". that day, i thought, sush came late to class only to help me...otherwise he was always d early bird.. ---------------------------------- On the day before..... ---------------------------------- tak-tak-tak.... i was typing again..at dead speed! "hey get my keys re..plzzzzzzzzzzzzz" No reply.... I msgd again. "its urgent yar..reply sooon! " Again no reply.... My mind raced.. has she seen it or not..wot if she comes to the class withought reading the message..baapre!!! I gave a missed call..atleast now she will hear it. After wot seemed an eternity, a msg popped up. "ur keys aa?" "yes re.." Thank god! she has seen the msg! No problem now..bindaas! Meena came to class..at 7.30....late as usual... She sat next to me...we exchanged smiles, my eyes expressing a zillion thanks to her..my smile showing fulll gratitude for the help she had just done... Wot a wonderful friend i hav got and how more wonderful that she always comes late..i thought... After few min, i asked.. "give my keys re" "keys?? wot keys?? i dnt have any of ur keys wid me re...i was all the time wondering which keys u r talking about..but this thing beats me " I was aghast! I looked at her in disbelief.. wot a foolish person she is... a person who was wid me for atleast the past 3 days will know wot i am talking about..and she is wid me for 4 yrs!!! pooh! "arey idiot!!! my bike keys re!! :((( U know na..i keep forgetting..i forgot today also ...anduke i msgd u" "dumbhead" read my mind... After class, i rushed like a scared mouse, happy to see that the bike was still der... My beauty!! U know wot..this is the fourth time in a row that i left my keys on the bike!! in a row!!! Only improvement is..the first 2 days..i rememberd dat i forgot the keys only after the class..but since the last 2 days , my memory springs up in the middle of the class!!! "ur brain shud be actually kept in the museum!! " " wot happens to u yar?? does ur brain gets switched off occasionally??" "soo careless u r!! " phew...i have been listening to all this...ENOUGH !!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you still think this could have happened to anybody...read on... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I once left my wallet (wid 500 rs) on a 1Re coin box. Only later did i realise that my wallet was missing...thankfully i got it back..thanks to the owner. Forgetting mobiles,wallets, keys has become a routine. Whenever i plan to buy a new mobile..costly wala...my frnds pitch in "Do din ke mehmaan ke liye , u want to spend so much??? " The most surprising thing is, i have always lost my frnd's things. I was lucky with things of my own!! I had once lost a MP3 playes..(it was sush's) . He gave it to me to use for a few days..leave alone using it..i dint even see it often. One day he casually asked me if it was still der..and to my horror it wasnt anywer!!! i lost it..and dont even know how!!! 2000 bucks!! But he is soo nice...he dint ask to refund..but as a punishment he keeps reminding me of my absent-mindedness!! Its such a torture!! A couple of mobile phones (ofcourse my poor frnds') , a few 500-rupee notes, pen- drives...form my list of 'LOST ITEMS' . read more....................... I has once been to a tailor shop. I carried a helmet, my wallet, keys, scarf, mobile and a bag..all in jus 2 hands!! :P I dumped all of them on his table , told him wot he ought to do and said i will collect from him in 30 min. Meanwhile i went shopping. Just when i was thanking god that i hadnot forgotten anything, a lady came upto me and said "I think u have forgotten your mobile at the tailor ! " "oh! is it? I will be going there in a few min. I will collect it..thanks a lot ! " she left... So stupid of me ! "where is my cell uncle?", iasked the tailor after my shooping was done. "Aapka cell? " he asked, amused. "Ofcourse! I had forgotten it here..u know naa..." I smiled.( i thought he was joking). " I dint see any cell here " My smile vanished. "Arey uncle...just now a lady told me dat u have my cell !!! " "what !!!!!! was dat ur cell??? I had sent a boy to give it to her, thinking it was hers!!! she dint return it!!! " Tears welled up in my eyes...but i fought them back.. "here, take my mobile. Call to your no. ", the uncle offered. gues wot...i dint know My Own No. !!!! It was a new sim and i hadnt memorised it yet !!!! I felt soo stupid ! AArrghh! y should this happen to me... "Errr...i dnt remember uncle..its my frnd's mobile" i answered sheepishly. I dialled sush's no. No..No.If i tell him, he will scold me.... I called dad. "Dad, can u tell my new no.?? " "yes beta...9291656826...but y?? " "never mind dad...thx a lot !" I dialled that no. now... "the no. u have called is switched off" It was expected. I grew desperate..my mind was conjuring up all wierd reasons i wud tell at home..my frnds... oh god ! help me.... "how uncle?? i lost my cell...wot shud i do? " "dont worry..lets try " he called that boy... "what! It was this mam's cell?? That lady is soo chaalu..she took it sincerely !! " , he exclaimed. Luckily, the tailor had her no. I went to a nearby shop and called her. "Hello aunty! I am talking from the t ailor shop. The cell phone which....." line cut..... I called again... "hello...hello aunty.....the cell phone...." "I cant hear u..", she said. line cut.... there was a lot of disturbance. She was in bus already. I dialled again....determined to pin her down. "have u taken the cell phone the boy gave u??" i came to it directly. "what cell?? i returned it to him...i dont know anything..y r u asking me?? " line cut.... i hid my tears.. u can imagine my position.. I cursed myself for being so careless... Back at the tailor... "Uncle, she flatly denied having taken the fone.." , i said trembling. "dont worry, u will find it." "But how?? " "Actually, the lady had returned it. Its the boy who stole it. He got scared and confessed everything to me...he will be coming with the mobile..dnt say anything to him." "whoaa !!! " I listened with my eyes wide open! " here is your cell madam!
