Knock Knock...

I can't believe it..the last i wrote was on August 3rd? I must be crazy. This weekend, I am gonna spend some time here and I better do. :-) For now, am gonna' go and watch 'Singh is King' - let me come back and tell you about it...:-)

Happy remaining friday guys...and a colorful image for you!!!

TGIF - Musical

Can I start my friday with a musical start? The songs playing in my car stereo (actually Manish's car these days - and I don't like the speakers too much in there. ;-) remind me so much of my yesteryears - most of the times I smile as I drive. Okay, here goes the ones on my stereo these days:
1. Lucelle - 'You found the fine time to leave me lucelle - 400 children and a crop in the field' (Kenny Rogers) - my all time favourite singer. Guys, you must listen to this man...specially his 'Lady' 'Three times a lady' ' You decorated my life'...and so on...
2. It sure took a long time - 'It sure took a long time to miss me, a long time for you to come around, a long time to find what was wrong' - No points for gusssing its 'Lobo'. Other favourites remain 'Don't tell me goodnight', 'Don't expect me to a be a friend'...
3. Main Kaise Kahoon Jaaneman - 'Main kaise kahoon jaaneman, tera dil sune meri baat, ye aankhon ki siyahi, ye hoton ka ujala, yehi hain mere din raat - A beautiful gazal by Jaggu dada - when i heard it first, I could not believe it was a gazal..never heard such a romantic gazal ever before. A must-hear - guys, buy this cd if you don't have it or haven't heard this number. Another gazal, which is originally by Ghulam Ali 'kabhi tou meherbaan hokar bula le' is a great one to listen.
4. Easy like a sunday Morning - Lionel Richie - All the unpopular songs of Richie get into my favourite list. Hear it out...nice one...this one. I have this bad habit of hearing to a song again and again and again...the count may go as high as 100 sometimes..:D

Do you mind sharing the ones you like the best these days? Talk about your favourites plus the ones playing on these days. I intend spending atleast an hour in Planet M on saturday with another music lover (Arpan, I hope you are listening)- and try collecting some more music.

Do you sense the fact that I am happy? I have reasons - MANY. The first being today the last day of my training (man, it was loooonggggg!!).

Double Bonus...

..Isn't it so much fun when you expect a lesser amount and what you get is MUCH MORE. Bang on - I got my bonus letter yesterday...man, wasn't I happy? For split seconds..I was. I am rich overnight and I already have a plan in place to spend every penny of what I have got. The first and foremost is THE CAMERA on my mind. Next week, I am buying one...am super-excited. Yipeee!! Finally.

Things suddenly have started falling into place. In a month's time, I am opting out for Work from home option - have already added my name in the workflow and sent a requisition for a newer, loaded (ahem) laptop. I was never in the favour of this option but I guess you need to see your priorities sometimes over what you like and don't like. When I told my dad, he was so relieved and happy. He had been messaging me everyday telling me how hectic a life I was leading.

Yesterday was a treat to a spicy and creamy delight - an experience I wouldn't want to forget. It is strange how you get yourself to do things you would never do, but for some circumstances. So far so good. This seems like a good study. Unbelievably strange...and surprisingly getting stranger each day. I ain't ready but I would want to read more than what shows up.

And lo..its a friday...jeans, or a skirt, or a wrap around...ummm..lemme think...okay..I guess a brown and white skirt and a brown polka dotted top with high brown heels should do for today. Happy friday folks...am getting ready to look my Besht!

Mithya..

...I always had a strange kind of fascination with this word...Mithya...infact in many of my writings, one of my protagonist was named 'Mithya'. I kind of related to her ways of leading life and experimenting with things around...everyday a new story...everything curtailing to mithya....I actually thought of making her a very strong character of my stories whenever I wrote that book (!) - but oo la la la..Rajat Kapoor just defeated my whole purpose. :-I ...why that oo la la la la? Because he deserves it....I guess his three years on this movie are justified. I will give it to him.

While I will have to figure out a new name for my future character...I don't really mind it because RK deserves this name more than anyone else. A 2 hour flick - what an amazing one! I just loved the movie....and this guy Mr. Shorey...man, he is terrific in this movie. Must Watch - especially the scene where he looks into the mirror and talks to himself and curses himself for dreaming high. It was a comedy but it makes you cry too. Guess how we watched this movie - we actually bunked office yesterday for a couple of hours ...Anshul, me, Anjali, and Rachit...had some nice Spanish Chicken Salad and then this movie. Almost felt like a friday. ;-)

And ohhh....Happy Friday Folks. This weekend I am gonna' watch Jodha Akhbar, someone recommended it to me and so it is a must watch now...

...and the number on my HIT LIST for almost a week now that I have heard for almost 100 times..from khoya khoya chand..and I have to mention it here....so very peppy and mast:

"थिरक थिरक थिरक थिरक थिरक जाने दे कदम बहक बहक बहक बहक बहक जाने दे कदम,

चल आज हद्द से गुजर जाए हम, थिरकते बहकते निकल जाए दम,

थिरकते बहकते निकल जाए दम, मर जाए , मर के भी जी जाए हम..."

वाह, आफरीन! Awesome!!! Mashaallah...and whatever...
