26/11 2009

As everyone knows. Yesterday was 26^th November 2009, a year from the tragic incident. So, yesterday I went to gateway and trident. Uploaded some photo’s in here.

An Experience

A friends dad is in hospital, and open heart surgery. And he needed blood from 4 people. His blood group was Opositive, but still he was not able to manage 4 people who could have done it.

I went in for blood donation as well. But after the test it turns out that I was 0.5% low on hemoglobin. After that moment. I felt so terribly bad. Like I am some kind of infection or something. A person needs blood and I am enough blood to give him but because of some deficiency I am not able to help him in way. It seemes useless sitting there and consoling my friend.

Luckily we were able to manage enough friend to donate blood. And all is all fine now. The surgery is tomorrow morning at 7am

Hope everything works out well.

Few quotes for the terriorists!

Tabaah karne ke kabhi baad jhaank Lena wo manjar..Tum na hote to kabhi shamshaan nahi rote.Kitna bhi chaho yaad rakh Lena Ek hi dharti ke do aasman nahi hote! Stop Terrorism!

Kya Hindu kya Muslim..Jo benaam marte hain kya insaan nahi hote Ek bachche ke jism ko khareed lete hain Jo log Un logon ke to imaan kya bhagwan nahi hote! Stop Terror!

Our Generation Stands for Choice: We can't let Terrorists Take away! Remember United We Stand Divided We Fall! Fight Terror! STOP another 26/11!

If you Don't STAND behind out Troops, Feel Free to Stand in Front of Them! Fight Terrorism with Justice, Not Hate! Say No To Terror!

Everybody’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s a really easy way: stop participating in it! Say No to Terrorism!

Fighting terrorism is like being a goalkeeper. You can make a 100 brilliant saves but the only shot that we remember is the one that gets past you! Stop Terror!

Terrorism is the price of empire. If you do not wish to pay the price, you must give up the empire. Join Hands, Help Fight Terror!

26/11

Last year, this very day was like any other. But what happened the next day was something that no Mumbaikar would ever forget.

I was at a friends birthday party, and came home around 8pm. Things were cool at that time. I came surfed the net watched tv and was about to sleep when I got a sms from a friend about the attack in taj hotel and oberoi. For like a minute I didn’t understand anything. I went through the sms again. And I could make out that this was not a prank on me or anything so I switched on the tv and it was really shocking what ever they were showing on tv. I was dumbstruck for the next 15mins. A terriorist attack in Mumbai? No way that’s not possible it took me a while to let the news sink in my mind and heart. That night I could hardly get sleep. I called up the closed once, if case they were somewhere out and not aware of the situation. luckily all were safe.

I slept at 3 in the morning and when I woke up at 7 in the morning I woke up to the news of the death of hemant karkare. Mom told me that she knew him. it was another shocking moment for me. And one after the other getting news about fire and hand grenades and firing in these hotels and VT station and everything. I just wanted to go out there and kill those bastards.

I had never seen anything like that in my whole life. The next day they were going to give their final goodbye to Mr. karkare. I knew I had to go there and I had to go there and salute that man for his bravery. Thought I didn’t get to see him, but I atleast got to be there when he was leaving this earth forever. I have taken a video which I have uploaded. and after that I decided to go to taj hotel and oberoi trident. I have taken some pics there as well, I have uploaded those.

The thing was, while going there I could not see a single civilian other than the journalists who had come there to capture the live situation there for their news channels, I could see 100 of police men with grim faces and the military. It was like I was at a war front. I was not sure if they would allow me to go there but atleast they allowed me to where the news channel people were there. It was breath taking experience. I could see those rescued people sitting in a group still in the shock of what had happened, and what could have happened. I felt my eyes go wet when I realized what they had gone through. I still get Goosebumps when I think of what I had seen that day, and trust me It was way different then what tv channels show us,. The mixture of shock and panic and relief that its all over now and the respect you feel like giving to all those cops who helped us together is way different. I am getting Goosebumps as I am tying this as well.

I just hope these terriorist understand that this is not going to help them in anyway. I still don’t get the point of why these people are even there. What the hell is their problem?

I could not write anymore. I would just like to let the government and everyone whose reading this know that we have still not forgotten that day… and we need some actions against it. More security!

That 3 day, ill never forget in my whole life. And that few hours I spent near taj and oberoi that feeling that will stay with me forever. And I would like to say that I am proud of my nation and also those people who laid down their life’s for the country.

JAI HIND!

Wedding!

Hey, so today had gone to a wedding. Telling you when a girl starts getting into her 20’s something ( I am 18 but still they act like I am 20 something ) everyone in the family and also the long lost cousins and uncle aunties start talking about your marriage. And if you are meeting them in a wedding then the most common sentence you’ll hear it “ you are next”, and I go WHAT THE F**K!

And the problem with my family is that I am the only GIRL left to get married, all others are either happily married or are still in kindergarden. So everyone is super exited about my marriage. And today was like any other family gathering. With all the aunties trying to show off their saaris and uncles having a matured talk and cousins with their wife and small kids trying to get used to the MATURE talk ie being next to those uncles and aunties in a couple of years. Every one I met started taking up the topic of my marriage. And with all the hello’s and hi’s and namaste’s and touching elders feet and more “what are you doing now?” and stuff I am totally tired.

I wish they would understand that I am still young. Marriage is like atleast 5 years from now. But yes onething, they guy who was getting married was something like 24 or 25 and they both looked so perfect together. For a moment even I wanted to get married that very moment. Actually as I am thinking about it now, I am ready to get married even now, if its gonna be that perfect like how they both were. Aww…

Hmm.. I was thnking about getting married when I was 28 something, but I guess ill reduce the deadline to 26 or 27 :D

So now I want to get married when I am 26 or 27 J hope this wish comes true.

angry... really???

“I am angry on you”, she said. Yes but why? Tell me what happened? He asked her. they were at his place with some friends, friends were out in the balcony talking while they both were indoors trying to sort out the problem. “I am leaving, I don’t wanna talk to you”, she said and reached forward to take her bag. He tried to stop her and pulled the bag back. While they were playing pulling the bag, she lost her balance and her head hit the wall.

She started crying. As her head started to ache a lot. He rushed to the kitchen and got some ice to apply on her head. “I don’t want your help, ill do it on my own”, she said angrily. “shut up, lemme do it, its my duty to look after you”, he said and continued applying ice. Later when he had applied the ice and she was feeling better. She looked up to him and saw that his eyes were full of tears. “why are you crying? What happened?”, she asked amazed. “ cant see you in pain”, he said and kissed her on her forehead.

That very moment, all the anger vanished. They hugged eachother other, sat down and had a really nice talk.

Hum Tum

It was their first date, they didn’t want anything very romantic it would have just made them more uncomfortable so they decided to meet at mac donalds, and then hang out at a mall. She reached there on time and was waiting at the bus stop for him, he came there in sometime, they went to MacDonald’s .

He offered to treat her and went to buy something to eat. He got the burger which got mayonnaise it in which she hated from the bottom of her heart. But still she gulped it down her throat.

They then had a really nice talk, he told her about his friends and shared some funny moments. It was really going very well. They then decided to take a walk it was 2 in the afternoon and the sun was just so unpleasant that day, but still they continued to walk and talk. They went to a neaby mall and just talked for what seemed like hours. “if my aaji ( grand mother ) would have been alive now, I would have told her that I have a girlfriend and she would have loved you”, this was the sweetest thing he said that day and she remembers it till this day.

It was time to leave it was already 4.30 now. They were so not ready to say goodbye. All they wanted was to wait and talk to eternity, so they decided to take a longg walk back home which trust me was really very long. So they set of their way back home from haji ali to dadar.

He dropped her home and went to meet his friends. By the time he reached there he was all tired and sweaty. “ what did you do with her? don’t tell me you did everything on the very first date”, his friend teased him.

Noo, we just walked from haji ali to dadar, he said.

His friends were amazed that he made a girl walk that long on the first date. They looked at eachother and laughed!

What is it?

What is it?

As I have told you that mom is out of town for a weak, I am solely in charge of the house. And I would like to tell you people that I am a growing from a girl to a women. Things like cleaning the dishes and keeping the house clean and everything which were annoying to me some years back is changing I am doing my dishes myself keeping the house as clean as I can. I have even tried cooking this time. So this is really a very nice phase I would say. And yes with all this going on I am also doing things that I love to do. Like I danced a lot today. And watched 2 movies back to back

1- The hoiday.

2- The ugly truth.

3- You’ve got mail.

Talking about the last movie. What is that one thing that tell you that this is the man of my dream or he/she is the one I would marry and have kids with?

When I met my man, I could not recognize him. we had met online. Sometimes I think, out of like zillion people on net, why did I send a friend request only to him? and not some other tom dick or harry? He is a shy guy, who never really used to talk to girls. Then why did he talk to me? There was something between us. We were from the same school and from the same college, and we got to know that after we started talking online, we even had a like zillion common friends but still we didn’t meet anytime before that day.

We had decided not to meet in real life ever. But then one of his friend invited me for dinner. and we met for the first time after knowing eachother online for 6months.

Even then I didn’t recognize that he was the one. He proposed me the next day which was completely shocking. I was not expecting anything like that from him and still when he proposed me I said yes, without even thinking twice and ever since we are together. Yeah we have like loads of ups and downs we fight like crazy I have like zillion problems with him but still I cant even imagine living without him. and so goes for him we cant think about breaking up atall.

Some people say there is nothing like destiny and you have to make your own destiny. I would disagree. I would say there is destiny and also that you have to make your own destiny. like you’ll always have two options for everything in life that you are destined to. Like for example, you will pass this year in your exams that is your destiny, but the options are if you want to study hard or just copy. ( I know this sounds filmy and unrealistic but for me this is the truth)

seriously i would love to know how you all define love? like how do you all think you'll get to know that his is the right person i was looking for?

Anything for You Baby!

Anything for you baby.

Few days back my boyfriend said “ I would love it if you cook Pavbhaji for me”, I was like okay! I so wanted to do that. but the thing was I have never cooked anything more than Maggie on my whole life. I have not even gone shopping for vegetables ever. But I had to do this for my baby.

My mom is out of town for a week and I thought this was the perfect time to experiment. I called him up and told him that he to come to my place on Saturday after his college.

So Saturday morning. I got up early; I was much exited about the cooking thing. I went out in the afternoon to buy all the necessary things. Came home chopped them finely and everything. Arranged candles all over the place to so that we will have dinner in candle light (which didn’t work out cause he said, I like to see what I eat so please keep the lights on L ) I hated this part. I wish he was a bit sensible to understand that candle light is soo romantic.

Neways, he said he loved the pavbhaji :D

It gave me a feeling as if I am his wife already, I cooked for him the whole day then he came from college all tired we ate together then slept on the bed and talked about the whole day about the past about the future everything.

Was so cute!

sachin tendulkar god of cricket... REALLY???

You may find abusive language in this post!

Yes okay so this post of mine, I know ill get many comments saying I am mad or like I have no knowledge about cricket and stuff. Well yes sorta that’s true I don’t really have a great knowledge about cricket and stuff… but still I can atleast see whoz playing good and whoz not.

So now, many people call mr.sachin tendulkar god! And I find no reason to call him that. Okay now you’ll say he played cricket like no other in past he got a brilliant record and stuff..well isn’t cricket a team play and not a one man show? Most of the matches sachin plays its for his own record and not for the team. Take for instance yesterday’s match 175 runs wow. And last 20 runs remaining cant he just make 20 more runs and finish off his part well? He gave a good for nothing catch. Was that even a shot?

Yeah I agree he played like a hero in past. But what bout now? I guess something like a year back of something he gave reasons that he cant play because of his tennis elbow or something. Well if you are so not able to play cause of medical reasons then retire yourself now. You played enough. Half the time he get out within 10runs if It would have been someone else in his place atleast he would have made 20runs? Atleast some contribution. Sachin sucks in many matches and plays good In one match and in that also just for his own record and not for the team. Then people say his luck was bad, well he is god na how can god’s luck be bad?

He played brilliantly in past, well fine good for him. but why is he now ruining the play? Let someone else try his luck. He might be next sachin tendulkar.

I might write more on this..gotta rush now.. cya!

Me aur meri maggie!

it was after school me and my boyfriend decided to spend the day at my place watching movies one after the other as my mother was out of town for a month. after the tiring school and french classes later we came back home around 2 pm. starving to eat something. just then i made a streaming hot bowl of maggie and we ate it together from the same bowl. made us sortof close. and it was fun watching movies reclining on bed and eating maggie. maggie used to save us from starving back in school days.

and now 3 years later, its still the same. whenever mom's not home and i have to eat something its always maggie.

Maggie has touched many people’s life. I have kids in my neighborhood who come back home from school and have a bowl of Maggie. We sometimes even have a Maggie get- together when all the kids in the society gather at my place and we enjoy our Maggie.

So thankyou to whosoever who created Maggie! You have saved us a lot of time from starving.

P.S – if you are thinking why I am suddenly falling in love with Maggie, well then it is because I was starving a hour back and Maggie saved me again :P
