P.S to prev post :)

Just as i'd suspected...S is abt as crazy as I am :D
She's written this luvly testimonial for me...n put up a post on her blog too!!
N u bet am happy abt it...not only becuz it makes me feel good dat a person i think of so highly also thinks i'm worth somethng ..
but also cuz it puts to rest the teeny little suspicion that I had that probably S means wayyyyyyyy more to me than possibly I do to her...
I always felt dat S was the very confident independent sorts who'd be able to face whatever situaions comes her way apne dum par...so was never really sure whether mere hone ya na hone se kuch farq padta hai ya nahi..
But her reaction says it all!
I'd said in d prev post i was apprehensive whether our friendship wud be same as it is now...wud we few years down the line be able to open up to each other as easily as we can now....but from what I know of S...she's one of those people who take time to open up but when they do...they give all to the friendship...
Am so so comforted by her gestures...cuz I know these r spontaneous ones...S is incapable of forced niceties i know...
Yesss...u guessed rite...me n S do have our own little mutual admiration society!! :)

All the best S....will miss u!!

Met S yesterday...to say tata-bye byes before leaving...

But just abt said the tatas...n best of luck..but left so much unsaid..

Most imp of which wud have been a big "Thank You" for everythng..S is one person besides my immediate family who's made my MBA dream possible...everythng starting from the very idea..the motivation...d support...d ideas...d way forward...came from her..

I don't remember the last time when someone's desperation made me so worried..and when someone's success had me jumping on the bed...

S is pretty non-religious n non superstitious...but in all my MBA related prayers to God...I used to put in a good word for her always :)

It strange how the girl who I was so wary of in office...who I thot wid be the snooty snobbish uptite kinds..turned out to be such a great friend of mine...infact I wud rate her as one of the most helpful people I've ever met.. not to mention amazingly down to earth..

I wudn't say S n me r the best of friends..atleast we have never acknowledged it that way..we both know that in a particular phase of our lives we stuck to each other n did what we cud for each other...the whole MBA thing not a you n me but a "we have to do it" kinda thing...

There were times I'd spend more time wid her in a day than i did with my own sister...we'd be stuck on d phone all day...leading to several speculations about our ahemmmmmmm "preferences" :P...everytime she called...Mom wud smirk n say "Oh..girlfriend's calling!!"

We mite not end up being frnds for life...cuz we have had a relationship more of mutual respect maybe if I could say so rather than backslapping bonhomie...but yes friends don't hav to hold ur hand n walk the entire journey of life..along the way u meet people who r thr to help u cross that difficult stretch..S is exactly dat for me...

I am quite in awe of her actually...she's a neat 3 yrs younger than me...but 3 times more mature...n i for some strange reason am quite scared of getting on her wrong side..don't ask me why..i dunno!!:-O

It wud be terribly corny if i say thanks to S...infact yesterday was happily surprised when she gave me a hug..S is one those very no-nonsense kind of people...very non-mushy sorts...so dat gesture coming from her caught me off guard...but yes that is exactly what I would have liked to do too... :)

Now that both of us will be mighty busy...i'll miss all our chats..talking abt everythng under the sun...every teeny lil fear..apprehension..stupidity...gossip..bng discussed wid her..cuz i fear its not really gng to be the same between us from hence forth...we'll be in touch for sure...but wonder whatour friendship will be like from now on..

Thanks S and S's family...they don't make people like u anymore...its been a pleasure knowing u all :)

IPL bug bites my sis!!

The sister had gone to see the IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Superkings today with a bunch of office colleagues. Well its really nothing to do about the cricket ofcourse...but more of a picnic of sorts where u hav a chance of seeing some celebrities and hav a blink n miss appearance on TV provided the camera guy is nice enuff.
So to ensure this "TV appearance"..flashy banners needed to be made...n since I am supposed to be the oh so creative one..was put to the job...
Tried to wriggle out of the situation by giving stuff like ..
"East or west..
Knightriders r the best"...now where have i heard that one before..hmmm
"Gali gali me shor hai
Dhoni ki team chor hai" ...yes yes..very innovative I can be..
But no..it wasn't so easy to squirm out of it..so had to get down to work..
So here are the gems that finally made it to the banners-
"Dil me mere hai dard-e disco..
Dhoni team leke eden se khisco!!"

"KKR ke do do shaan
Dada aur Shahrukh khan"
errrrr...I am not sure how Shoaib n all will react to this one..will all due respects to the team!!
Then there was ...
"Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Dhoni wicket pe sota hai!!"
and finally...errrrr....
"Bolo Om shanti Om
Dhoni ke peeche maro bom"
(Note: Bom---> Bomb in bengali)
This rear attack might not have gone down too well i guess...censorship issues n all...so it was toned down to.....
"Om shanti om
Dhoni go home"
sigh..i know...it kinda lost d zing na...kya kare...
But as luck wud have it...KKR sank...so eventually the banner which wud have been more apt...
"Dada ke saath huyi anhoni
Match jeet gaya Dhoni" :-O

I had suggested carrying two way banners...one side for KKR n the other for Chennai Superkings...a subtle flick of the arm n voila u r on the winning side...but if only genius was appreciated..hmph!!

So, the sister went to the stadium all equipped with a white cap(bought specially for the occasion), sunglasses(more to complete the "look" rather than the shade part of it), sunscreen, snacks, banners and a crash course in cricket so that she wudn't shout "goal!!goal!!" everytime sumone hit a 4 or 6!!

She called me from the stadium..muchos excited abt seeing Dhoni and Shoaib...and trying wildly to see Juhi Chawla...game did u ask..nah who's got time for that!! :-D
At the end of the day... her celebrity count has been Dhoni,Shoaib,Shahrukh and Ishant Sharma who actually waved at them...*swoon*!!!:-P
Well the team lost..but she's happy...had good fun..saw the song n dance routine and some cricket thrown in...dats what IPL is all about to me..a lot of sho-sha with a little cricket on the side...just so that noone complains that its all a big tamasha!!
P.S : Ahhh...since am on d topic of Knightriders...came across this analysis of Knightrider's shameful loss in the last match...the expert panel on this news channel had guess who...no not Sidhu..not Charu Sharma...not even Mandira Bedi can u believe dat...tch tch...but an Astrologist...hmmmmm...
His analysis said that the black jersey of Knightriders is the colour of Shani...which is unlucky for them..chalo thik hai man liya...and then he gives this gem...left me quite clean bowled..so can't say he knew nothng of cricket..bilkul sahi googly dala!!
He said "Aur unka naam dekhiye...Night matlab Raat...raat hoti hai kaali..toh aap dekh sakte hai kaise kaale rang ka asar hai inpe"!!Koi spelling thik karvao yaar iski...yeh toh definitely paanchvi paas se tez nahi hai!!
Kahan kahan se le aate hai...not his fault though as much as the news channel's which was hosting the show..huh!!

Here i am!!
