My Halloween Pumpkin

Hailing from India, halloween has alwez been a puzzling concept to me. Whats to do with a pumpkin and all the funky dressing..!!  Anyways, was a little bored of sketching so thought i'll try painting this time. I went to Michael's and was awestruck at all the chutku-mutku stuff you can get for an artist. I picked up this pumpkin and started drawing jus... like that. Then i spent time deciding whether i needed water or oil or acrylic paints. Acrylic won and here's it all together!











Can anything end without mine n hubbys name?? Aha..

Heart Skips a beat again!




Marriage has its own boundaries. but can we stop these eyes from wandering far or can we teach our minds to look into its own business. With a clean shaven face today He sparkled. With the black winter jacket He was no doubt extra-ordinary but when he took it off, He looked like God in bright orange.

He came to my isle, i was one among the 20 may be who caught a glimpse of him. I was blessed to be the one he looked back at. "Hi" He said. "hi, good morning" i said and bent my head down. It was an hour since i settled in todays schedule, and i dreamily wondered what His female fan following would be..! I had always noticed that these handsome men usually settle for less pretty girls. I really wondered why. This guy needs someone like me on his side, not herr of all. I caught Him giggling with a blonde female. Girls i thought! Another thing i have noticed is that all these ishmart boys/men are very narcissistic. God save them!

There is scarcity for great ideas in the advertising business and i personally need to tickle funny bones for these great ideas to be thrown out. He spoke spoke and spoke. Was He paid to speak. He was! Couple of us gathered when He was rehearsing His presentation. While i was admiring that baritone, Lori commented that the content was good. I blurted that a lil' bit of humor could be added. He smiled. The day went as-usual again. A lot of drama happened with an employee being fired. She yelled at her manager and left!! I personally don't like displaying affection or hatred in public. Not everyone thinks like me! Do they? I feel..I belong to a rare pedigree of girls but thats again something every girl feels so i pretty much need not talk about it.

For few months now everything is seeming so boring. Life should be a rock song with constant head banging rather than a lullaby.  But thats totally up to us. I climbed down the staircase wondering what I have to cook today. Cooking for oneself is a pain. Tara, my friend i stayed with was person with bad appetite as well so it was almost like cooking for one person. Jjjjjrrrrrk..... He came and pulled over in front of me. Ooo then i realized we all had decided to go for a Thai restuarant for dinner. It was a wonderful group to be with. All 5 of us reached Thai-Thai almost about the same time. I freshened up a lil' and was staring the one of the paintings. I knew what i wanted. It was the same every time a thai ice tea, a  veggie tempura and shrimp pad-thai, with spice level 5. Tara got up to attend a call and she called Him out. They came back and He hurried to me and whispered "Something spl for you today is on the way... watch out.. " I smiled. I felt very warm. Since Viren had been to India which was 9 months back, i hadn't heard anything much cute like this. He came and gave me a red rose and positioned himself behind me, cupped my eyes with his hands and said "Any guesses whats gonna happen now..? Close your eyes baby.." I was all fumbling and lost for words and was wondering what this maniac was up to. I actually wasn't comfortable. I was sensing something wrong. How the hell could Tara be a part of this insanity. She knew me .. very well! My feet wasn't feeling the ground now, I was moving against gravity.. Oh man .. He was lifting me.  I forcefully pushed His hand and i almost slipped and fell into Virens arms.! Bliss! 


**** My post  Misinterpretation at its Max, was fun and indeed a memorable experience. So continuing it as a story here. Writing stories which relate to real life is what i enjoy. Please do not mistake it as my story. Its a feel-good story. :)

Deceived by Truth ?


Mahabharath is one classic epic with all kinds of examples. I have personally liked Rama only because Krishna himself is a very confusing protagonist. Why was the necessity for him to steal butter.. making him a thief!! Why dance behind girls and marry so many... portraying him as a flirt and why cook plots to make the Pandavas win by devious means ?? I actually know most of the answers, but its not very easy to understand his intentions. At least i can't. All i can say is it was done for "Loka Kalyanam" meaning for the benefit of the world. Here's a small story, one picked from the war phase of Mahabharath. Its story time, please pick a pillow, hug it and stay tight...!!


Drona was one fierce warrior. He was blessed, knowledgeable and a great teacher for the Kauravas and Pandavas. He was on the side of Kauravas during the Kurukshetra. He had a son who he loved dearly, by name Ashwathamma who was a chiranjeevi, meaning one who would never die. Drona was a powerful warrior who slayed thousand of Pandava soldiers. He was not ready to put down his arms at any cost. It was almost two weeks since the war had begun and it was up to to Krishna now to devise a plan..... but how to stop such a deadly person on the battle ground and make him throw away all the ammunition's and give then time to kill him?? Krishna suggested that if Drona learns that his son is in danger then he would definitely stop the battle. But why would he believe if someone said Ashwathamma is in danger? So if Yudhistr, the truthful and most righteous Pandava said it then Drona would definitely fall for it. But true to his qualities, Yudhistr wouldn't lie.

For this plan to take action, Bhim went in search of and finally found an elephant by name Ashwathamma. They all agreed that, Bhim would kill the elephant and Yudhistr would shout out Ashwathamma's name loud and Drona would fall for this trickery. Yudhistr was however a little uncomfortable with this folly and the lord convinced him that all is was for world's benefit; for the war to come to an end such actions become inevitable. He suggests him to mention "the elephant" in a soft tone,  to which he agreed.

As per plan, Bhim killed the huge elephant and Yudhistr shouted loudly "Ashwathamma Hathah... " and softly said "Kunjarah". Drona, knowing the fact that his son was a chiranjeevi was mislead on hearing this from Yudhistr. He went into a state of shock and disbelief and sat down mourning his sons death. Seizing the right opportunity Arjuna  Dhristadhyumna aimed an arrow at Drona thus killing him.

P.S: "Ashwathamma hathah kunjarah" means "the elephant Ashwathamma is killed".

Swoosh...

Dated(03/13/2012)

swooooshhh... By the flick of the Elder wand
Life has vanished into thin air
I was lost in a dream
Left all known and was ready to face the unknown
Left all the familiar and was embracing the strange....?

Waxing phase is always a welcome
But what if it turns out into a waning choice
End of a life or a new beginning..?

Future is yet to be forseen..
Will it be comfortable
What crossroads will i reach?
I want to know what lies ahead...!

Behold Life!
Not a soul have i deliberately disturbed
Not a being have i wantedly bestowed sadness to
WHY THE HELL SHOULD I CARE?
He is with me. All is and will be well too!


The song Dhak Dhuk from English Vinglish is some how close to my heart.  When i had to move to Boston i did think a lot! Being the so called traditional-minded girl, i was wondering if leaving husband and going to another city to set up my career was indeed the right choice. A lot of opposition from family can be handled if by being strong, coz i knew what i was doing. But the oppositon from within was a lil' troublesome to go through. Millions of anxieties. Gazillions of experiences!! Truely love Boston from bottom of my heart for being so kind and considerate to me! Cheers!!

No Air port card installed : Solution

Today all of a sudden my internet was not working and the airport was not turning on. The only thing i could think of is restarting my mac.  BTW I have a Mac book Pro with 2.3 Ghz intel core i5 processor.
After the successful restart, it said "No Air port card installed". I was without internet for about 20 minutes.

I started getting a feeling, i was stranded on an island with no means of communication and stuff. I do not understand where and why and how that creepy feeling came across!! Gosh we are all too addicted to internet !!

Anyways, referred few online forums and wat i did to solve this was:

  • Shut down your computer.
  • After its completely off, press "command", "option","p","r", power button all together.
  • Keep your fingers on them till you hear the start-up tone thrice. 
  • Once it starts up the air port should be all fine.
I was all set to contact my mac-geek friend for help but not bad could figure it out myself. 

Thanks for reading!
