Something unexpected happened in June and I am waiting for July to arrive. You never know what your destiny awaits. Six months of separation and awesomeness. I had to take my step there letting me decide what is more important family or career?? I couldn’t think of any alternative solution. A thought on managing both was too strenuous. I had to put my foot down and quit my successful job. It came as a shock to my employers and they asked for some time. And then destiny had something else in hand for me. The company for the first time offered me to work as a consultant with an option of working from home. It was like a dream come true, like my prayers didn’t go waste. He made me realize there is someone called god not that I didn’t believe but only when you get answers it is easier to accept.
It’s been close to two months now that I am working as a consultant and again now I have put my papers. Ha-ha Reason? My husband’s getting transferred to Singapore. My employers are like what the …. Again… now what?? People should believe in destiny and no matter how much ever you try to predict it, it is always a surprise…
Now it was like we were planning for a small vacation to Bangalore and Kerala somewhere in the end of July. Santosh (my husband) had to apply for leave and I didn’t have much of problem, had to adjust my schedules that’s all. Finally after going through a number of packages and talks with my uncle who generally arranges it for us, we decided to get our leaves sanctioned. Santosh sent his request and in minutes he gets a reply “Wait, you need to be here in Singapore by end of June”. He was excited and showed me the mail. I was thrilled and couldn’t believe my eyes. We weren't expecting something like this, not so soon.
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise? Today I have so much of trust on God that he is giving answers for all the hardships I had gone through in the last 1 year. And my people supported me through thick and thin. Now When I hear somebody sigh, "Life is hard," I am always tempted to ask, "Compared to what? :)

1000 days to live
I remember the movie Dasvidaniya. This particular movie has taught me to keep up the spirit when we are passing through our hiccups in life. Somehow I find it very interesting to keep a checklist of my dreams and wishes and mark how many of them have been fulfilled.
It gives a sense of satisfaction as to how close we are getting towards acheiving them. Imagine you have just 1000 days in hand and how will you fulfil them? Now 1000 days is just a number - I don't know why this number came to my mind. But then, when we have an aim we put everything to achieve it.Does days really matter?

Made for each other
It was on a rainy July noon that I waited with bated breath
To catch a glimpse of my soul mate to be
Hope in my eyes; curiosity on my face; butterflies in my stomach
Excitement of the unknown; adrenalin pumping to receive my future…
My heart skipped a beat; eyes transfixed on the street
The wait seemed eternal……
Who is she? How would she be? What was she?
Thousand Thoughts flooded my mind
My gaze lifted as she popped her head out to meet mine
Like a Turtle does from its shell to connect with the world
A Benign smile; Face full of innocence
Sparkle in her eyes made me feel happy
She laughed, spoke & as the coffee brewed
The liking increased for what she was
The moment came when both said Ahem!!
To walk down the path of life together
We took the First step in Aug, the second in Feb
When we tied the knot to realize the dream of being one
Life’s been great since then with love, fun & our quarrels
Shared Dreams, Shared aspirations to live a life full of zeal & zest
Sensitivity with Objectivity; Heart with Head; Calmness with Impetuosity
Devotion with commitment; mutual respect & feeling for each other has been the tale of our partnership
Forgive & Forget; Live & Let Live;
Have been the tenets of our lives so far
It’s been a memorable passage of life so far;
With hope & optimism; we look to create a future
Where we see our partnership blossom AND
Make it a “Made for Each Other” parable in times to come

5.45 AM
What's with time? Heh, It means a lot in a city like Mumbai. Now I hope u understand where I am heading too. Have you noticed the traffic during peak hours in Mumbai? I realized it today morning 5.45 am. I know its too early for me to wake up but the best part is it took exactly 1/2 hr for me to reach Mulund from Malad. Damn fast ain't it? I was puzzled was it the rick driver whose enjoying the speed long drive or is it the cool and less polluted empty roads. I decided thereon, any long travel should be done at the dawn hours. It takes at the least close to an hour and half to reach Mulund from Malad during the peak hours if you driver is a pretty well drive and knows how to race with the ricks and other drivers. Else you remain stuck your whole life. The worst part is you are completely drenched out sitting and waiting and full of dust. After all this you look like some one has fought with a kiddo in the mud. Guys take it from me travel during non traffic hours and save your life :) 5.45AM is a really good time to venture out.

Social Networking Fritters
Which are the popular social networking sites in India? Facebook, Orkut, Twitter, Hi5 & so many more. I receive invitations of a new SN site every other day. You wanna squander your precious time just login and the timer starts. The purpose behind the SN sites is to catch up with long lost friends, dating, hacking, communities etc. Though people use it to overcome their mental and phsycological situations too. This actually helps to show off and create interest to know what the other person is doing. Testimonials with long love stories. Why does one want to publicize love?
Fake userids of popular figures. What not? Anything you name and you can find it there. Think of ambiguity and the next name will be of FB. FB is one SN site filled with enough confusion to let people go mad. And still they love it. It takes a hell to understand whats happenning where until you get a hand on it. Thousands of updates in the form of comments, publishing new activities, playing games, variety of quizzes among also these are the banner ads which are clicked by mistake not knowing whether it was an ad or some new application of facebook. FB has lots of addictive virtual games buy, sell, hit, run etc and the toppers in the favorites list are Farmville, Mafia Wars, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Cafeworld, YoVille etc. I think zynga games have known the secret to make their players glued to the games. I still play farmville realizing I am spending so much time just to harvest my crops, plow, seed etc. I don't know whether in reality I would do something like that. Keep muttering to myself if you want to waste time start playing games on FB. I realized there are so many other things to deluge in life its better not to doodle on the PC Screen for hours going around a social networking site.
