Narnia

A nice story of Dawn Treader read by me attracted me to watch the movie. I and my bro were ready to go and watch it in English but we faced a disappointment of the reel being defected and we had to watch the movie in English. Well we obliged since we had already bought the tickets. Finally we watched the show with only 9 people in the hall. It was fun to watch in hindi and i long to watch it again in English. Hopefully someday i might watch it on DVD. Had fun again for Narnia :D

Harry Potter watching Day!


Yayyyyyy.. finally the 1st part of Deathly Hallows was released in India and me and my bro couldn't wait to watch it in movie hall. So we bought our tickets a day before. But it was embarrassing enough when we were questioned as following:-

Man at ticket window:- How may i help u?
Bro:- We want a two tickets for Harry potter, tomorrow's show at 10P.M.
Man:- Ok tomorrow's show 10 P.M, Harry potter
Bro:- Yes
Man (while clicking mouse on computer):- Tomorrow 10 P.M. 2 tickets harry potter
Bro:- yes
Man(while looking at tickets):- Tomorrow 10P.M. 2 tickets harry potter
Bro:- yes (totally irritated)
and people behind us sniggered for God knows what reason. Well finally the day of the show comes but i was too worked up to even revel in the happiness as

1) it was raining heavily outside
2) it was raining heavily outside, and;
3) it was raining heavily outside

So i was waiting for the rain to stop so that i could go to office. Finally i reached office by 2 in the afternoon and had to go and buy some books from a bookstall and broke my shoe. Well yes broke my shoe. Now i had to say goodbye to my 5 year old buddy. In the office i worked myself to exhaustion, went to shopping with my PDP trainer who had to leave for a journey and i finally had to buy new bathroom slippers. Finally at home by 7 and relieved of the day's adventures felt the exhaustion in full flow but didn't want it to dampen my spirits. At 10 we were there and watching it. finally cam back at 12:30 and felt at top of the world. I named it Harry Potter watching Day coz for the first time i watched it with my bro only. Others wanted to tag along but we tackled them ;)

Finally a news for people who are reading this. I deleted my orkut account because i saw no point in having a account which was useless and not a source to b contacted anymore. Besides i wanted to bury some old happy memories forever and I meant it this time.

The Big Day


My Big day has come and gone. It was supposed to be a special day but i didn't get the feeling that it was a special day for me. Just a regular one. May be this year the mood was off a bit. Anyways, it started with annoyingly buzzing of my phone since 7 in the morning. A stupid friend of mine wishing me through messages when i have always told her to message me after 9 since i am a late sleeper and riser. Either her brains go down the drains while reading my complaint message or she refuses to understand what is it saying. Since my Friends and my brother's friends had already wished me at night after 12 i had no one else to look forward to except my family's wishes. Then started my normal but hectic day. Had to make the office boy run for some errands, made two calls to Singapore for the first time of my life and was surprised to hear people there speaking so softly which made me dig my phone in my ear to listen what they are actually saying. Then I distributed chocolates among kids, my boss and another coordinator. When the students left we had a chocolate pastry party and we left at 7.

When I reached home i saw my cousin there and then we had small bhelpuri party. It was not much fun but it was fine. Finally when everything was over i changed and relaxed. We didn't go out for the dinner since we all were full. Then talked on phone, receiving wishes and had a small funny incident with my cousin giving surprise to his mother by flying back from Canada and the family in Canada was mum all the time on phone with regard to his arrival or anything. We had coke at the neighbour's place: just me and bro. Around 11:45 we came back and i watched TV and then went off to sleep.

That was my simple and not so exciting 24th birthday. I wish that i had my close friends here with me to have a big party bash.

My Birthday


There are 3 days left for my Birthday also known as big day for me.. This day was always special for me because i used to get a nice family party to celebrate and get loads of presents. Later on when i grew up a little i had my little bro to celebrate this special day with because his birthday is on 21st of this month. After this i started inviting my friends from school to celebrate this day along with my family. Soon i stopped having family parties on my day and my bro got to celebrate it with his friends at home. Last year i came to know the value of my friends who gave me a surprise party in the college and we celebrated my birthday there in the free period. It was fun and worth being remembered.

This year, I have no one around me to celebrate my birthday with except my family. Every friend of mine has left this city . I am not keen on celebrating it this year and neither am i in a good mood to do so. I did get my birthday prezzies in advance for example a mobile but still i am not happy. In my past i have always been excited and happy to celebrate my birthday and when i grew up i realized why it was so. It was so because i think i am getting nearer to something or the other good thing in my life every year. This is the only day in my life when i think of ups and downs i have faced during the one year of my life. It rarely happens that i get depressed by remembering all the negative things that happened. I try to look the positive ones and learning to move ahead with them in my mind is my ultimate goal. i will reflect again this year on these facts but will miss my dear friends who are far away from me.

Happy Birthday in advance to all my friends because our relation as friends was born when i was born. :)

A refreshing trip


I know this post is late in coming but well i got time to type it all now. I have been working in this office over six months now and i haven't even paid a visit to the head office in Lucknow. My boss made a sudden program of us going there and see what its like. The PDP trainer Ruchi was cajoled into joining us and our Media coordinator Rupali was all set to have a break from her usual worries.

So next morning i got late and reached the college around 10:15 A.m. and i remembered picking some stuff to eat on our way there. I bought chips, bubble gum, Polo, and some sweetsfrom college canteen. Then I and my boss started off and picked up Rupali and Ruchi on our way to Lucknow. We all just kept chattering(Rupali did most of the time since i and boss are more like listening types) and when we reached Lucknow we didn't know. Now we saw the walls and park built by the current CM and why were they made is still an unsolved question; all politics i guess. Anyways saw the elephants, CM's own statues and a beautiful fountain and losing our way three times (though my boss came before to the city but she always came from different routes and forgets them) we finally made it.

The office was actually an old bunglow and the alterations made in there were cool since they give the mixed feelings of being at home and office both. We went through a nice lawn and came across a door. When we went inside we were greeted by the receptionist who looked at my boss and failed to recognize her because my boss was wearing a saree rather than a suit!! well that was humorous. Then i and the other 2 waited outside while boss went inside and talked to the founder and head of the institute. Then i was called in and was happy with the warm welcome the lady gave me. I felt warm inside me. Then i was asked to have something and i asked for nimbu pani while my boss had tea. The head didn't know that we had already formed a team and she was surprised to find out that Ruchi and Rupali were the two eligible and experienced ladies who joined us. After a small chat i met Miss Shagun again and she was surprised to see me. She met me before when she came to my city for counselling and we had a lunch together. Then we took our leave. Me blushing because whie introducing to the staff the head realized that she misheard my name and mixed Rupali with Ruchi.

Well then we left for Saharaganj to have our lunch. I was scared of escalators so took the stairs to the top floor. There MCdonald's was full because it was weekend. Hence, we ended up having lunch at Moti Mahal. Ruchi was keen to buy Kababs from famous Tundey Kababi so we went there and bought some for her family while our boss ordered lunch. When we were about to get up Boss was called off at a sudden meeting arranged by the Lucknow director at a club. So now she left and we had some time on our hands to do some window shopping.

When i say window shopping, its just a term used when we don't have money. But we all were loaded so ended up buying something or the other. Ruchi went and bought a bag while I and Rupali rested our tired feet on a chair in AC shop. Then we went to Sahara Unique. Ruchi and Rupali bought some junk jewellery while i ended up looking thrugh dresses and wooden stuff. I came across a unique wooden box with hooks inside and a glass door on outside. It was in the combination of red and green colour with Rajasthani work written all over the decoration. I also found some beautiful dresses which were so appealing that i would have bought them off if not for the price tag. One was red short strap dress and another one a long purple gown with purple roses on the side of the dress and a hem that gave it a victorian look. I showed my finds to Rupali who bought the box which was supposed to be on discount. She thought we were lucky but it so happened we can get discount on the scratch cards. Well at least she got the discount and bought the box. Rupali was so happy she got me a necklace made of sandalwood beads. I was reluctant to have it but then she insisted and i let her buy that for me. Then the boss called and we headed to the waiting car.

On our way back i was feeling sleepy. There was no room for me to pull up my legs and sit comfortably since Rupali and Ruchi are healthy so there was no question of spare space. I had to make do with putting my head on the glass of the door and try to sleep. Rupali was listening to the songs on my i-pod and she started singing along with it. I gave her a look and she asked me whether she was singing aloud and i said yes. Then she shut her mouth and i was about to sleep when she started singing again and i couldn't help but pull her cheeks and say shut up. She was surprised and stroked her cheeks in amazement. Even Ruchi was surprised. Then rupali touched my hand said that my hands were hot as if i was having fever. I told her i am fine my temperature remains high. She made a comment at that which made Ruchi hit her on the back of her head. Then we got into a small brawl and finally ended up me sleeping on Rupali's shoulder which gave a crik on my neck. Ruchi meditating with her eyes closed and Rupali listening to music. We finally reached our homes around 7 or so. By that time i was so tired that i would have loved to lie down as soon as i reached home but kitchen duty calls. Finally after all that work and chores I slept at 12 my usual time.

Dream Diary-4

Geez i feel steamrolled!! had 3 dreams back 2 back ad it seems i need lots of sleep..!! This dream i had began with my being a certain bus with lots of people in it who all were my friends. We all talked about a girl who threatened the life of people. When we got of the bus we all were lodged in a home that had lots and lots of rooms. I for one slept fitfully while others made lots of noise. In the morning there were not many people left. I couldn't figure what happened to them. Then i saw a girl wearing blue tee-shirt and brown shorts standing with her back to me. She seemed familiar somehow and i couldn't place my finger. She left immediately. Then we all decided if anyone sees a strange girl appearing one should start yelling. Ok fine yelling is good. Brings people to rescue. Then we all settled down. We all had charges to look after i had a kid who was watching TV in a room next to mine. I kept checking on him. Finally i went further than that. I checked a room that was next to that kid's. When i opened the door i saw the girl standing there in blue Tee-shirt and she was none other than ME!!
I yelled for that kid to run. She i mean me whatever chased after us.. I yelled and everyone who was still alive heard it.. We kept running till she was close to the kid and to my horror touched his arm and he disappeared. i was scared and yelled again when i saw her coming for me. Then the dream ended. Question: Why was that girl me? Ans:- May be i am running from myself Question:- Why take lives? How could people disappear just by touch? Answer:- I don't know.

Now comes the second dream. Its more fantastic than this one. I went to this place where my friend and i usually shop. I was alone. i shopped a lot and i had to run to the office because i took break for shopping. I came across a shop that sold some cute sweets. I bought some for 20 bucks and then the shopkeeper gave me my favourite sweet for free. Then i said thank you and left the shop. The son of the owner called me from behind but i never gave him heed and moved on anyway looking for rickshaw or some mode of transport. It was already five and i was supposed to be at home by 4. But then i saw myself separated from my body. My body was sleeping in my room at home and my soul was walking. Weird!! i was supposed to reach home after my mum left for market. When she left I turned up and entered my body. Though the stuff i bought was still there with me.

This third dream starts in an underground maze kind of thing. Where people are buying and selling and all sorts of people live there.. It is also the home for everyone but instead of sky they see the ceiling. It was as if they all live under the roof of a biiiig house with lots of corridors instead of streets. There were some punjabi people who talked together of an upcoming event. A famous personality turned up and there were lots of shouts of encouragement and all. I left them at it. Then i was looking for a way out and found some stairs leading up. I went climbed them and found myself on top of the building or something. I didn't go further than the last step and turned around and came back. But the corridors and everything had changed. It was like the corridors moved or something. I was scared and it was dark outside. i tried to find my way outside but couldn't. I found a room where someone i know was standing looking in the mirror. He saw me and i ran away afraid of him. He chased me till i came across a room where the servant's kids whom i teach in the office were watching TV. One of them showed me the way out which was on the floor of my office. It was weird. Then there was a Gal and the same guy jumping on some coloured tiles making them produce noise that of piano..Seriously now how could that happen! But i waited for the darkness to lift to go home. The clouds were making it look like night. Then i woke up. Question:- Why do some of my dreams have black clouds in them? Ans:- Because of inner darkness may b.

I am tired going back to sleep @_@

A friendly help and a discouraging comment


This happened last week. My one of the good net friend was in trouble and he all of a sudden asked me to provide him with my phone no. despite of having it before. He gave me the new no. and asked me to call him up or msg because he was in desperate need for a friend. I said fine lets see what this guy has got himself into this time.

The history of this guy with me is too long. To put it in a convenient manner we have been net friends for 3 yrs now and he calls himself Dark Goku and calls me as his princess. We used to have fun chatting and discussing stuff. I like him as he is 2-3 years younger than me. But last year i have been observing the decline in his net activities and thought it to be because of the recent heartbreak with bad marks in exams as the 2 prominent reasons. Now he again wanted something to talk about. When he called and opened his mouth i felt like kicking someone just for the hell of it. The poor guy has been in relationship with a girl on net for 3 yrs :(. She is underage >.> and she always betrayed him <.<> and counting this time its thrice >.< . How low can a girl go to do this kind of thing? He always accepted her back in his life because he thought her new promises are genuine to the core. But this third time he saw the proof. As if he was not seeing them twice before. *sigh* He wanted to meet her which was not a bad idea but she discouraged him. Finally they agreed to meet on airport when she returned from Edinburgh. He lost his sleep and didn't eat anything because of all the excitement. He had the exam the day he was to come back from the meeting and he didn't study for it. He reached the airport. The flight landed. She left through the security check without meeting him breaking his heart again. He called her up and she says "Don't be angry on a trivial matter as this" All the more stupid thing to say because it was not trivial from any point. He came back and after taking his exam in which he later on failed he fainted because of lack of food and sleep. His friends helped him out. >.>

Now he wants to meet again but the girl refuses. She refused to continue the relationship but when he insisted she continued it. Finally she says she needs time to dwell on it. He gave her the time too. But he tried to contact her again to talk on something she refused to pick his calls and talk. She termed him as a stalker among her friends. Deleted all her accounts because he had the access to them. Asked one of her net friends to deal with him because he is troubling her. Her friends taunted him called him for conference and she didn't say anything even after he told her what he is going through and asking her the reason for this treatment. Her friends called him a stalker and other uncalled for names. When he called her by the given name 'Sakura Chan' it became all the more fun for her friends. She never stopped them. They instead told her that she was soft on this guy. It was like a dog was being treated abominably because his mistress was soft on him. It became pathetic and after that i told him to move on. not to message her and try calling her. He wanted me to intervene and i refused on the grounds of not knowing her. So we both left it at that. He messaged her for the last time asking for the answers to his questions and no reply came.

Finally the girl's sister who is of same age as me talked to him and called him names and telling him that he was bothering an underage girl for no reason at all. She left and he told me all this. I was angry because he didn't tell me this before. If he would have done so in both the cases i might have been able to help him out by fighting it out which he lost because of lack of morale and spirit. We messaged everyday till i fell asleep at 12. I trying to help him and he trying to recover from all this.

Now a good friend of mine whom i met via net and have never met actually but talked on phone called me up and asked me the reason for being busy messaging which is usual question answer thing. He got angry that i gave my phone no. to a net friend about whom i don't know anything. He didn't buy the fact that we both trust each other a lots and lots of friendship thing. But in the end i got the comment "You are a career counselor not a Life counselor" which hurt a lot because it was a shallow remark made just because i refused to tell him what the trouble was.
In return i msgd him that a career counselor is sometimes a life counselor and what if i started giving the same remark to all my friends every time they helped me. To this there was no reply and neither did i talk after that because i was angry.

Now the guy is still pining over the girl. I am still bothered what kind of a sick girl she was to treat him like this for no fault on his part. I know one fact that net relationships are restricted to being buddy buddy thing only. Beyond that if a person wants a relationship then there should be a meeting for that. I tried to provide a friendly help and for that i got a comment that hurt. Sometimes life is not fair.
