The mania has just begun!

awesome indeed....that Ireland won against England, yesterday in WC 2011 :)

and the captain of Irish team has got a funky hairdo!

Lankan bowler Malinga, got his 2nd hat-trick in WCs '07 and '11..no kidding!

Hope to see more from Men in Blue in coming days.....whooooooopieeeee!

What about the other Jessicas?

No one killed Jessica: this movie is special for many reasons.

First, I was watching it with Nix after a long gap...the first movie (with her) post my marriage and at our favorite multiplex. We have a long association with PVR, catching up after office hours and all the way gossiping about our respective bosses and clients...it was fun!! It brought up many old memories. Couldn’t help lmao thinking about that horrid day when all our “kewl” stuff was taken by that PVR lady at security!

Second, on a more serious note, it was a movie on the high- profile Jessica murder case. I watched it yesterday much after its actual release date. It was a beautiful film. One cannot relate “beautiful” with this case. But it turned out to be one because the actors essayed their roles superbly. Also, it was nice to see Rani Mukherjee in her determined avatar instead of watching her dance in chiffon saris around SRK! Sabrina’s character was neatly performed by Vidya. Although I presumed that the former was more resolute…I especially liked the police officer, the one person who did “the right thing”.

In the biggest democracy of the world, isn’t it ironical that justice is denied and hopes are demoralized. It happens very rare when media causes this much furor in the masses and masses turn up as a strong force. Justice was delayed but eventually the guilty was punished.

Throughout the movie, one could possibly feel the pain for the loss of a daughter, a sister and an innocent human being. It makes me wonder is there a price tag for a human being’s life? Unfortunately it has and will always be….Money corrupts. Power corrupts mores.

No one killed Jessica is not just a documentary or a movie, it highlights the alarming issue of women safety in our society. How media can intervene and do the just…how youth can actually contribute and actively participate in bringing about the change! This movie is not only an eye opener but also leaves behind many questions…

For instance,

What happens to those rural women who are brutally assaulted within their family?

Who comes ahead and seeks justice for the girl child still killed in many villages?

Why is our judiciary so rigid and slow that verdicts come after decades?

How does a criminal gets away with crime?

The answer lies in the bitter truth: money and muscle power are mightier in this age.

Really???

Of course it is...

At least they have good intentions.

Adjacent to the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

Good advice.

Make up your mind, will ya?

Yeah, and this is the end of the Internet...

Looks like they need a little help themselves..

2011 - No resolutions this time...been there, done that :)

My first post in 2011....

too much of idle time and yet so late :) :)

A very happy new year to all my friends!

There is so much that I expect from this year and from myself.

• To be a "good" wife (well, this role is not defined...though I hope will do well)
• Not to lose my temper so often at home :)
• Yeah, have to get a job...quick and get my groove back!
• Cooking isn't rocket science, hence keep experimenting with food!
• To keep on adding novels in my shelf..
• Also, have to check on my weight..major issue to deal with!

well, am in a new city...and i am liking the fact that i don't feel alien here...like the quiet streets, the supermarket where i often go out for groceries ...plus there is so much to explore...

have furnished our home now...and its looking beautiful :) both I and AH have put our hearts in making our home - "sweet home"..yep..can feel us in each corner of the house..romantic to the core :)

living in a penthouse, has its own advantages and one of them is the terrace, just love the evenings :) we had called our friends for bonfire dinner..it was just awesome! had a great time...

AH's friends are good...enjoy spending time along with them....had gone for a party a few days back with them...it was a bowling alley competition and maybe luck was showering that night, i won ..i played that bowling game for the first time and i beat all of them in 10 rounds..happy to share that AH came 2nd and I won..I won ..I won..it was a great feeling :)

Anyway, gotta go now and set the dinner table....

May this new year bring good luck and happiness to all :)

A month old :)

It's 28th Dec. today..

exactly a month back on the same date and same time i got married to AH.

I remember everything..walking towards him, glancing in his eyes and exchanging short smiles...

It was a beautiful day..just like i had imagined....

There's a lot to mention.....stuff will come in next posts..

This month was just splendid :)

Cheers to our love!

2 become 1 - Part One

24 days left...

Marriage is a big thing in anybody's life. it brings about so many new aspects in us.

From being single to become a couple.

Am happy that i found my life partner just like i had thought. Actually i never gave a serious thought about "the guy" until last year when AH entered into the scene :)

I had never believed that internet could play a magic trick and bring two strangers together :) amen! well it happened for the good....

Lot of time has passed since our first interaction till date...

We have learnt a lot about our relationship, understood each other, we have fought and made up, realized the meaning of love, and sharing the lives together.

And yet, i feel a bit scared..(maybe these are pre-marital goosebumps)...like any other girl, i so much look forward to this big day of my life...there are so many things to be done when we start our new life together...yeah..have thought a lot about it...many a times made plans, changed them and re-made them...

I feel more responsible for my words/actions...(gosh sometimes i just wonder the little girl inside me does not want to become a woman..crazeeeeeee!)

As i have resigned from my office, have loads of time to indulge upon myself....

I have started to cook...mom's recipes and cookery books are my new interests.

By the way, it's a universal thing - "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach"..okay fine..so what's the way to a woman's heart?

hmmmm hard to figure out i guess :)

The "I do" moment of my life

The day is coming nearer. My anxiety, happiness and excitement is soaring high.

It's a new phase, a new beginning.

I will miss my parents of course..my office desk, my office PC (for some strange reason, i like making folders within folders and naming them meticulously), my tailor who "understands" my concern for proper fitting , my parlor {yeah..they are so important in my world...how girly:) }

Oh yeah, and I will be moving in with a man i love/admire/fight/can't live without :) hmmm.....pretty interesting!

all those rom-com movies with subtle scenes and dialogues between newlywed couples hover in my mind...the whole "married" thing will be weird coz i very much enjoy my "ms. status" :)

its not so simple choosing bed sheets / curtains / furniture when one has got so many choices around...we will select the best ones... it's going to be a fun ride for me and AH.

I never thought it will be so filmy-types when it will happen to me :)

Anyway, shopping, invitations, menu, decorations blah blah blah...are being placed in order..which is a never ending story! It's all happening so fast and at random...

I will be witnessing my big fat Indian wedding pretty soon.

Just beautiful!

Remember those walls I built

Well, baby they're tumbling down

And they didn't even put up a fight

They didn't even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in

But I never really had a doubt

Standing in the light of your halo

I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened

Every rule I had you breakin'

It's the risk that I'm takin'

I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now

I'm surrounded by your embrace

Baby I can see your halo

You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more

It's written all over your face

Baby I can feel your halo

Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo

Hit me like a ray of sun

Burning through my darkest night

You're the only one that I want

Think I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again

But this don't even feel like falling

Gravity can't forget

To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I've been awakened

Every rule I had you breakin'

The risk that I'm takin'

I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now

I'm surrounded by your embrace

Baby I can see your halo

You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more

It's written all over your face

Baby I can feel your halo

Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo...
