A Tribute to "Friends for Life"

I have been reading my friend's (Kirti's) latest series of blogs that are a tribute to all her special friends. Here's my love for my friends..to all the wonderful things I learn from them:

Sanaya: I admire your courage and patience and ability to be calm under pressure. I learn it from you, so hang in there honey!!! We love you!

Vidhi: Her kick-ass attitude and the fact that she doesn't take bullshit from life....learning from you love.....

Kirti: For letting her head rule, because I let my heart rule....you complement me jaan...

Mukul: For his perceptiveness...something we don't give him credit for....but you are great at reading people especially your friends....

Bhavik: His sense of humour...which may not be the best but it never fails to bring a smile to my face (either that or really irritate me!!!)

Akshay: I wish I had even half his charm and ability to talk..I would have gotten out of many sticky situations in life.

Varun: I admire his maturity and silent strength...and the fact that we both like the same books and can talk about them.

Radhika: For her sheer grit and determination to live life as she chooses to.....you are really great jaan!

This is to all my friends. Thank you guys for always being there!

Sunday Special

Sundays are truly special! Anyone who faces Monday blues would agree with me when I say Sunday is special. They are the one thing that looking forward to keeps you going through the week. Here is a list of somethings that just make my Sunday:

Sleeping in late: a true luxury!!

Reading for hours at a stretch...

No deadlines!!

Calling and talking to people who you do not work with.

Having a long leisurely bath to pamper yourself.

Food...Sunday always calls for special food....

Spending time with family.

Meeting friends.

Here's to the magic called Sunday!!

True Love

I believe that true love does not need special or grand gestures. Love can be found in the most mundane of things.

When true love comes to you, it does not come with a blare of trumpets and a grand procession. If it strikes you like a thunderbolt, its just attraction. True love just seeps into you day by day and becomes a part of your being even before you may know it.

True love does not need you to meet everyday or have a date quite often.....it is glad in knowing that the person you love is safe and happy.

In true love , there is no place for jealousy because trust takes up too much of the space.

In true love there are no sacrifices too, as when you "sacrifice" something, you are actually just passing on something you value to your loved one.

True love is when you are a team, where there is no me or you. True love is the celebration of an "us".

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

I received a message the other day from a close friend that read:

"he climbed the highest mountain,

swam the deepest ocean

crossed the hottest desert

to prove his love....

and she complained that he was never at home"

Well I agree with the girl's stand. Guys, really!! Think!!! Did we ask you to do stupid things like this to prove your love?? We don't really need all of this....

All we are looking for is a 'connect': a touch, a hug, a smile, a shared laughter...something that says we are on the same side!! So don't try something stupid to prove your love. Just be with us!

And if a girl has really asked you to do all this to prove your love..well I'd be thinking if I were you....

What (Girls Know) Guys Like about Them

Hey all,

In response to the tremendous response to my last post, here's to things about girls that guys like. Guys, you may think we don't know but we know and it makes us feel good.

The way our hair smells. (We love the way you try to hide the sniffing, but we know).

The way we hold on to them when crying....and then apologise for crying and being stupid...)

The way we always fish for compliments (lets face it..we all must have done it once on our life).

The way we fit into their arms with ease.

The way we smile.

The way we take hours to dress but in the end it is all worth it.

The way our hand finds theirs.

The way our head finds the right spot on their shoulders.

The way we are finicky about all our stuff.

And thousands of such small things.....that make us!

Childhood Memories

I was helping my friends prepare a quiz for the age group 13-18 years old and we were really at loss as to what the adolescents of today grow up with or know??

This brought us back to some of our childhood memories....anyone who had been brought up in India in the last decade will be able to relate to a few of them at least!!!

Games included lukka chhuppi, dabba ice-spice, lagor, kho-kho, kabaddi. Girls also played Aoo Meena and Uma Joshi ye ye ye.....

"In-pin safety pin" or "akkad Bakkad Bambai bo" were the way we started all our games.

Cartoon Network and Nickolodeon were a weekend treat.

The comics we regularly read were Amar Chitra Katha, Tinkle, Chacha Chaudhary, Billo, Pinki....

You loved the tazos and temporary tattoos that came with Lays and Boomer. Still your favourite chips for picnics were Uncle Chipps, Peppy and Piknik......

Mahabharata was a favourite way to spend Sunday mornings.

You never missed an episode of Hum Panch or Hip Hip Hooray!!!

Andaz Apna Apna is and most probably will always be our favourite comedy flick!! "Aila Jhakaas!!!"

The English serials we actually had a chance to see were dubbed versions of Small Wonder and I Dream of Genie. Later we saw Full House and the English versions of Small Wonder and I Dream of Genie as these channels cam to India.

Ahhhhhh.......old memories!!!
