Bizarre Thoughts!!!

Neha and I had an out of the ordinary dialogue on relationships. That popped up a subject up my mind. What does it take to find the correct match???

Chennai Trip - Second Leg... The final one..

I leave today.... with a heavy heart.. my Chennai trip comes to an end... I did practically nothing on this trip as there were a very few people here... and those few were busy working... The little i went out was to the Bessi beach with Anusha and Diksha on friday night... there are more beggars and sleazy people than sane homo sapiens on the beach... I probably had the nicest drive that night recollecting old Mumbai memories with an ex-mumbaite :) the jain lady... I met up with my college buds yesterday i.e. Saturday... caught a couple of drinks with them...
My Mom left to coimbatore last night, I dont know why I had mixed emotions.. I was feeling a little sad :O... probably cos she left before I did an i probably wouldnt be making it back to Chennai for a long time... It was a weird emotion which I cannot describe in words... That sums up my trip... It was a good one, I think finally i spent quality time with my parents :) ... Something that they always expected me to do over 2 years now.... I have about 24 hours to recollect my thoughts... get set for Patni Computer Systems day after ... SIgh :O

Chennai Trip - First Leg

So I am finally at home... I reached Chennai safe and sound, on time, on Friday night... My mum also arrived on time... thankfully... I spent friday night chatting with my folks till about 2 in the morning... Saturday was ok... I didnt do much, I visited dad's office and got prepared for the party and pooja which we were going to have on the 18th... I was at the airport in the evening with Manish to pick up Mr. and Mrs. Bhatnagar - Dad's friends for close to 30 years... - They are Shikha's Mausa and Mausi... We were also surprised by Dad's other friends, Ramdas Uncle and Cauthy Aunty who had come from Muscat just for this occasion.... Later that night I headed to Zara's with Neha, Srujana, Prithvi and Sonia... I almost ditched the plan that night seeing the number of people at home - I would have gotten murdered by Neha Parnandi, had I not gone that night...
18th Morning started with a pooja - Sudarshana Homum as it is called - I was up early on the 18th morning, and attended the Pooja which went on till about 10 in the morning... Over the afternoon, Manish had come home - we decided to give my dad a bottle of Johnny Walker Swing... We went upto Alsa Mall and bought a bottle of the same... We had close to about 25 people at home in the evening for the get together thaqt followed.. I was lucky to have alcohol from dad's priced possessions - his Glenn Fiddich.... The scene was on till about midnight... and thats how the Sunday ended...
19th Jan was a lazy day... I had not had much of sleep - all family and friends wanted to go Shopping - I decided to stay at home... We all went out for dinner post which I headed to Neha's place for about a couple of hours... She leaves today, all my dad's friends leave today... Froom about 15 people at home 24 hours back - it would be just Dad, Mom, and me..... :(
Half my trip is over... 4 more days to go...

Chennai it is...

I am at Mumbai airport - my flight is in 40 minutes... I have a whirlpool of thoughts running through my head... I could not have had a better homecoming than this time, I meet my mom at the airport- she lands 20 minutes after I do [if our flights are on time]... I am leaving behind a rough patch... a rough ride which was more of an educational lesson... I have learnt so much in Mumbai over 2 years... this place is fantastic, cos you get belted and your transform as an individual...

I cant wait to get home... have Neha ke ghar ka andhra khana... Sambhar and Rasam... I have been craving to have south indian food...this trip has a lot in store... and yeah above all... it is my parents 25th wedding anniversary...

Ok I need to board now... :)

Masakali Matakkali....

Off late, Sonam Kapoor is looking astonishingly pretty n drop dead gorgeous... My pick for the new year - Masakali Matakkali from the Movie DELHI 6

:) :) :)

Shreya Raghavan - my best bud... is engaged... couldnt be much happier.... and what topped it all is, a conference with Shre, Ne and Cheeks :)

New Year Calling.....

Its that time of the year again, new years it is.... I have this lame feeling inside me as if nothing has changed, nothing has altered... it feels the same.... thats not too much of an issue, I have a lot of things up my mind... it is time, for bigger and better things to come... it is time for more problems to prop up, I guess I would be better equipped to handle them. I cant wait to get home, spend some time with folks, the phase between October to now has been a bummer on the personal front... a good week away from Mumbai will give me time off to settle down, consolidate myself and come back with good spirits.... it will also help me spend good quality time with my parents, and my best friends... Neha is in Chennai, I cant wait to see her... there is so much of catching up to do.... Manish is going to be there - as always - my best bud.... and to top it all up, it is my prent's 25th wedding anniversary.... :-). Its a good good package to get to my favorite city - Chennai - my roads, my city...
As for new years it was a good -different from last years - [ spent the night yapping with Neha last years in Chennai] - I met up with my favorite - Shikha Bhatnagar for dinner last night [2nd January]... Shikha, Rita, Srikanth and I spent close to 3 hours dining at Goa Porutgesa.... Further to that Srikanth and I were gifted with a great train ride from Dadar to home at 1 AM in the morning. I guess that was the most pleasant journeys I have had... [the train was empty] :O.... Signing off... Thanks to all beloved ones who made my year in 2008....
