we the WOMEN of India...

(This poster is been prepared by a student from VIT, a poster which says it all)

Should I be proud, ashamed, scared or be angry to be a part of India. 

Indian culture and history through its rich colors and various bloodshed has lead us to live in a free nation. But the present day states the situation differently. The word freedom has become altogether a different meaning to a particular class of society. 

There is now freedom to tease, assault and rape women in India. The justice and the government are on our side, but by the time the government listens or justice is given, thousands other such heinous crimes would have happened. 

We were still mourning about the painful struggle and death of Nirbhaya, that again the insanity showed us another example. A 5-year old girl, who I believe has not even learnt the word rape and assault, who doesn't even know how cruel this world is, who still believes in fairies and loves to play in the mud, has been treated as a living playing object and been used upon as a personal toy by a psychopath. 

Women in India are not looked upon as a better half of society, rather they are not even considered as human beings anymore. Women are toy of pleasure and after your work is done you can just discard it and move to another toy. Who are these people?? Why are they alive in this world?? Who gives them the right to breathe?? I don't understand what kind of self obsessed and mentally sick emotionless people are these who like to commit such crimes??

Why are we so silent and so deaf about such actions?? I agree there have been improvement in the media and now such actions are not buried in silence. We are speaking up. The victims are not who should hide or feel shameful they should and they are coming ahead and taking a stand.

I salute to the thousands of protesters who are fighting for the 'right to live' for women in India. For the first time it felt that something is truly happening for the better being of this country. 

But today looking at the rising crimes, I am scared to even go out of my house, I am scared to look at another person, the words trust and believe have lost their meanings. The faith on our judiciary system and government is shattered. I say this with a crying heart that I feel sorry to be a part of this country, part of this nation.

I pray for those victims for a better justice as that is the only part of peace they can have in their life, if anything is still left of it. 

And the tiny little flame of hope inside me tells me to wait for the tomorrow for an India truly free of women as well. 

Is it that time of the year already??

Christmas eve already?? Where did 2012 go?? I believe this year is one of the fastest year till now. I don't remember how the year went so fast?? And where was I in this year??

Christmas time makes me see this year all over again... the year was full of family and friends... family marriage, movies, vacations, and drowned to death with work will be my definition of 2012 for me.

But whenever I hear 'jingle bells' and 'here comes Christmas' my heart melts to celebrate the year-end with festive spirits. This is that part of the year which is filled with magic and love all around.

But as much as I love the surroundings and the winter smell in the air..... I also am thinking that this is the time for some new year resolutions. The year 2013 is going to be full of surprises. I am looking forward to many surprises both good and not so good ones.

So my Resolutions for 2013:

1. Not to buy any more alternative shoes. I end up buying shoes and then alternative shoes for the ones I already have. And this chain of events is never ending for me. So no more unnecessary shoe shopping for me.

2. Sleep more. I believe the entire 2012 I was craving to sleep for long. Well not this year. I am going to get good goodnight sleeps.

3. Call on birthdays. No more FB msging, whatsapp msging or texting on anyone's birthday. Technology is destroying the personal touch and feelings for me. (this resolution was a suggestion from my friend Catty but so well said!!)

4. Travel. One of the major thing missing in my 2012 calender was travelling for myself. Although there were several trips of family and work but none for pleasure. I have to include a lot of selfish travelling to 2013 calender. 

5. Be positive. Queen of negativity has to loose the crown. I will think positive and be positive no matter what.

6. Change my middle name. I considered my middle name to be 'tension' in this year of 2012. So I definitely need to change that now. Finally after several years of panicking, life has has taught me that nothing special is going to happen if I am over tensed for everything.

7. Control over Online shopping. I am addicted to online clothes and accessories. I have to limit that to a lot of extent. I cannot promise to stop that completely...but can definitely control a bit...(hopefully and definitely praying for the same..:P)

8. Gain Weight. Although more than half I trying that. But I was trying it out of worry and tension again. This year I am going to be thankful I can eat anything and everything and be happy about it. (Please don't call me thin when you see me next.. :P)

9. Work hard. Not that I need to worry about it, but just a reminder to keep myself from not losing the faith in myself. 

10. Be Happy. One of the most important thing to do. Keep staying happy and believe in it. "Be happy" is going to be my guru mantra for the year 2013. 

With this I finish my resolutions. Apart from these rules, I promise to be in touch with my friends and old friends personally. Keep the contact alive and active. 

I had an amazing fast and furious 2012....and I am super excited to welcome 2013. Hope it brings me all the wishes I have hoped for. 

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year...

Love you all :)

How HOT are we??

Yes I am very very HOT...and soon am going to vaporize into thin air because of this Hot Hotter Hottest Summer....

Summer 2012 has hit me hard and staying in a place called Vellore really adds up the charm. This summer I have gone through the worst and even post worst situations.

But let me write some of the best outcomes of this summer season:

• Natural Dieting:  Its so so so hot now, it becomes impossible to walk about half a kilometer to the hostel canteen, so most of the days lunch is skipped.
• More and more time spent in laboratory, as hostel rooms are burning hot, and no point going to room and getting fried there!!
• More time in labs without work, more time to discover all the loop holes in university's wifi security to watch videos, series and movies.
• Hot tea and coffee is out of question, no caffeine in body results in 24*7 drowsiness.
• Switch from jeans to salwaars....no pocket...ultimate no comfort, and of course all time carrying the look you have been avoiding for years!! 
• No sleep at night, because the mattress is so hot that it can cook omelet out of my skin.
• And geography and whether logic is playing with us....how can it be 45 degrees for weeks and still no rain!!
• Walk in the Desert....walk in Vellore....No Difference
• Switch to being Tanned....and trust me no sunscreen in the world can avoid....so basically the fair skin I was so proud of has been sacrificed to the lord surya!!
• Most people (maximum guys) will go for the "bald" look....so basically you end up with skull showing guys around you....
• Thanda paani gets garam in a minute, curd gets khatta before eating!!!
• One major disadvantage in the animal kingdom, because of excess heat...the Crows in VIT  have gone crazy and now are attacking humans on road...."true observation n fact".

I am just scared that one day am walking on the road in this hot sun, and I will be vapourised....Just Like That... :o 

Teen age to Tween age!!!

People say that a lady should never reveal her true age...I never fully understood this concept!! Yet I know a little significance of this as we go from the Teen age to our Twenties.....

How can you be absolutely sure that you are in your Tween Age??

1. You go from hot pink, crimson, lawn green, purple, yellow to greys, black, browns, blues....Oh..btw, i was talking about colors of clothes!!

2. Message bearing tees would become comfortable and designer patterns tops.

3. You would go from converse shoes and sandals to ballerinas, pumps, stilettos!

4. Mini skirts would transform to LBDs and low cut dresses.

5. Afternoon matinee shows would turn into late night shows.

6. Trying a drink or smoke would become an excuse to work load and life pressure.

7. Making an excuse for parties would turn into the knowledge of a stay over night out!

8. First kiss might be the expectations, and in tween we run from the word 'expect'....(if you know what I mean :P)

9. Ponytails become straighten hair with streaks and extentions.

10. Metal studded high waist denims turn to straight and low rise jeans!

11. Belts will not be used to keep your pants tighten anymore, they are well studded ones, to show off your waist!!

12. Bagpacks will get converted to Hidesign, Baggit and Fancy branded bags.

13. "Oh my God he is soo cute" becomes "He is not my type" or "He is just not right for me at this stage of  life".

14. Having a boyfriend was a necessity and in Tweens it becomes a Luxury.

15. Teen time you hit the puberty and Tween time it turns to liberty in tweens!!

16. Small Wonder and Hanaa Montana series gets converted to HIMYM and SITC.

17. Charles Dickens, Shidney Sheldon now becomes Arundhati Roy, Jeffrey Archer and Mario Puzo!!

18. Orkut changes to Facebook, Google + and Twitter

19. We are finally on LinkedIn...like officially officially.

20.  Coffee shakes, milk shakes and choco milk becomes irish coffees, lattes and cappuccino.

21....and the list can go on and on......

I enjoyed my teen age, I loved that hormonal rush and doing all sort of random things and then regretting it over and over again! But now that I am in my twenties, I love this step little closer to adult hood. I love how and when I can be random but at the same time be sensible enough not to go beyond limits, and even though I do cross my lines, who cares, am a tween and I care a damn!!

Cheers to Tween age!! Thank God am not Thirty!!! :P

Am at that 'GIRL' age!!!

Am I at that age? BTW, I am talking in the terms of the age for marriage.


Every other friend around me is either getting engaged or married....every relative around me is giving me warnings that "its my turn next".


But now that I am sitting down and thinking about it, am I really ready for such a huge change and commitment in my life?? There are so many things in my life that needs to be changed before I even settle down for the thought of "shaadi"!!


Marriage is supposed to happen when I am so called mature... soft spoken to every one... calm... stable in my decisions... etc etc etc.... but I am none of them...not even close to any of those....


And to add on there are things as follows which are completely not allowed or to be completely changed before I should get 'tied up in the knot'!!!


Till now my mother freaks out when she calls me and I am not picking up the phone...


Till now my father takes care of my bills...


Till now I scream at a store when I see even a T shirt at 10% discount..


I still go gaga for actors on screen...


I still love to hoot in the movie theatre...


I love to listen to SOD, LP, etc etc etc....


I still sing for no reason and wonder at home dancing like an Idiot....


I still cannot means cannot absolutely cook....


I still like to wear T shirts with absolute non sense slogans and proudly flaunt them..... 


I still believe salwaar kameez is a 'jhamela' and saree is 'OMG'.....


I am still a FB addict....blogspot addict....and college fashion addict...!!!


I still flirt with cute guys at airport or college....


I still watch 'friends' and go by there guide rules...


I still hang out like stupid first years with my girlfriends....


I still make embarrassing noises on my first bite with KFC and Mc spicy chicken....


If I am doing all these...then by the Indian terms how can I be ready for THE DAY?? Why cannot my mother and father understand that?? 
Although I love my freedom.... I know I cannot escape the fact of the W-day....but I want a little time....little time to know what I want and how I want to do it....


I am a little girl now...and wanna be the same for some more time....
Please mummy and papa.....leave me alone for some time....let me do some more mistakes in life before doings the biggest one :P


:) :) :) 

Exam Fever Stage IV...VIT Library!!

Hello friends....i agree this post is coming up very soon compared to my previous records...but i need to share this asap!! As i feel i have to write this for a little edge for VITians...for a little edge of me being a VITian too!!

Before starting this post, i wanna apologise that this is been written in pure intention of fun n laugh..not to hurt anyyone else... Currently there is a little tension in the VIT air...reason...the Term End exam...doing breakdance!! Students are been killed here with the disease called Exam Fever stage IV...they have to go through this enormous pressure of exams, assignments, mini (research) projects, numerous internal exams, quizes and several conferencesbased on projects!! How these students manage their time n studies is really appreciable with 75%attendence compulsary!

Now that i have said well enough about the students, lets have an insight of what is going on in real!! Right now i am sitting in the most sacred place of VIT...the Library....and am in the reading area which a huge room for study!! I am just sitting near a corner...And I bet you will observe so manyvvarities of thingse moment you turn your head 360 degrees!

At every alternate table, there is a couple sitting, which is trying hard to study...but this pre exam time is the best time to sit and discuss about their 'relation', future plannings, each other's shortcomings...etc etc... Such talks are often interrupted with occassional flicking through pages...grave readings...and again back to relationship problems!! Then this goes on till one of them find that they have already wasted about 2 to 3 hrs of their time...now its better that they go to their respective areas of loneliness n study alone!!

The table where you will see a single guy sitting, staring at the laptop...aimlessly...he is definitely waiting for her gal to come over and teach her the subject!! He knows very well that this is a call just to spend some time with the girl...still he will make the excuse of studies...and even if the girl knows the same...she would come to teach him...and after some 2 or 3 hrs she would get mad and would leave the place blaming the guy of wasting his time!!

Then you will see the tables of some serious study groups...they will be having almost all the books possible from the library shelf and studying like crazy...and if any one breaks the rule of "silence" around them...they will give them the 'bhasmasur' looks!!

You can always spot a hyper active group in the room...with their occassional loud laughs...loads of standing over people around the table...and making fun of every possible teacher when they csnt understand the subject!!

Next category of people is the one who comes here for bird watching or csn be cslled "sight seeing group"..but not just bird watching...hybrid bird watching...as library would have birds of little upper breed here!! (pardon my language here)..

The last kind of group is the "do not bother n not bothered" group....they will have their heads inside the books, hands writing so fast in the notebooks that u can hear the pages crying of pain!! They do not care even for a bit whats going on in the outside world!

And the percentage of the group varies with the passing hour of the day!! The couples percentage increases towards the evening..as library is the only place open till 12 at night!!

Sitting here and observing each and every activity is like one of the most productful things i have ever done!! I would definitely like to do a survey about whether my assumptions are correct or not..lol I actually managed to sneak peak on many of the conversations thats going on here...ranging from politics to gadgets to Fashion to food...but it will all end up in depressing thoughts about the subjects and the subject teacher!! VIT is showing me new colours each and every day!!

Hope to get this blog updated with another VIT experience sooon!! Till then...CIAO!!!

Research Redefined....

What is "Research"....well the classical definition is not 'searching again'...but does it really hold so....:P

Lets see it through the eyes of young researchers (...like...me..LOL...)....

1. No weekends...every freaking day is a working day.......But, you can take a holiday with the excuse of studying, literature survey, library and even headache.

2. You can start the laptop with the enthusiasm to search at least some 20-50 papers for your literature studies, but would definitely end up into Facebooking, Twittering, Gtalking, Blogging and sometimes playing games online.

3. You will forget what is life outside lab...as you by this time have already started growing lives in your Lab

4. You will get these constant headaches because of excessive exposure to chemicals.

5. You will no longer able to feel your legs as they are swollen from the constant standing.

6. communication will be redefined for you...mood swings and irritation are very common and often to occur.

7. you will not have a personal life..and if you had already then it will take a 2nd 3rd or nth place right now!!

8. Your house...your room...or your hostel will feel like a guest house for you...

9. Movies, TV series will take a back seat

10. You will be sleeping like a dead person...even earthquake cant wake you up....and all you dream is about proteins, DNA, microbes, flasks...etc.etc.etc

11. Fashion will loose its meaning for you, as you cant even remember what were u wearing in the morning today....

12. If you are at VIT, you will be specially treated as they expect you to write "research papers" and publish them.....do they think that papers are available for 100bucks outside the stall??

13. You will be given the designation of a Research Associate and the workload of a Advanced Scientific Lab Assistant!!

14. Lab is your home n chemicals and bacteria are your friend....you now have no life away from that or can think of any!!!

Thanks to my "Research" I have added a new word "Patience" to my vocabulary....as it is all that I am been said to have during my work....as I will never get any results when I want them or need them.....

We are doing real research.....welcome to our Biotechn World!!! 

Hostel reasons for Maggi.....

What is the one unique feature of hostel that everyone shares at one point of their hostel life....."MAGGI"

There might me many or absolutely no reasons for maggi....some of my experiences are listed here...

1. Not hungry today, so lets have maggi

2. Bad food in canteen....maggi

3. Oh i have learnt a new technique to make maggi....

4. I am not feeling well to go to canteen....so will have maggi

5. Hey did u check out the new flavor of maggi?

6. You know maggi tastes amazing with eggs, lets try that today.

7. Am so hungry now....maggi...

8. Have you tried maggi with onions?

9. Have you tried maggi with tomato?

10. Lets do maggi and movies today!

11. Lets have maggi with sauce.

12. I am so full tonight, will just have maggi and sleep.

13. Oh its so cold today, wanna have hot maggi.

14. I just had dream about maggi....

15. I love maggi.....

How many lame reasons do you have for maggi? 

Work load!!!

OK.....the so called research is eating my brains now......

And the worst part of it...you need "PATIENCE"....a term that does not exists in my dictionary....

First of all....the stupid bacteria takes 3 days to grow, so just to plan it to grow, i have to make the arrangements 2 days before, and then after growing it, i come across that the culture is contaminated....UFFFFFF

And here, out of anger, you cannot even break the pretty borosil glassware that is in your hand....even though its very tempting, the price of that would be cut from your salary.....so again...ARRRGRRHHHHH

And to add on to this, Time wont at all favor you, it would start running like never before....

God the frustration level is building up sooo soon....clearly feels like there is no hope left.....

and at the end of the day, even you do not have the option of "running away" because there is no place to run away in reality, this is a small little village outside the campus!!!

And even though I care a damn for the bacteria, I am feeding them all kind of possible nutrients that could make them grow the best, and they produce a lot n lot of babies.....

I do not believe that I would ever take care my child like this way...... what an irony!!!

just one consolation after such an idiotic day is that I might just get a little close to get a post grad degree after 1.5 years......That is the tiny tiny ray of hope right now!!!

Just trying to remember the reason of my being here....and trying to keep the lamp burning!!!!

Calm down soon.....Meditation.....OM.......

"Friends"

I envy people who have not seen the 'Friends' series....they still have the most amazing series to go crazy by...they are still have to fall in love with Joey....and love his eating habits ("I want girls on bread!!!).....have to drool over Rachel's clothes....have to laugh on Chandler's sarcasm jokes....still have to go crazy to understand Monica's clean freak nature...still have to think like a blonde to understand Phoebe...and still have to realize that nerds like Ross can be funny and romantic...

Friends is by far the best TV series I have ever watched.....and still watching even though I have actually remembered all the dialogues.

There is something about it that always makes me happy no matter at what situation I watch it....

I always wonder will I ever have friends like 'Friends'....

I love everything about them, they way they struggle in the real life, the way they are there for each other no matter what, the way they find fun in everything, the way they are not able to handle relationship at all...everything....

my favorites parts from friends are hard to pen down....but still i am trying to do.....

1. The very very first episode when ross says he wants a bride, and rachel walks in a wedding gown...and chandler wants a million dollars.....

2. When Rachel is talking to her father explaining she no more wants to be a shoe, she wants a hat....

3. When Ross and Monica's Nana dies..."twice"......omg, the shock of Ross was amazingly funny!!!!....and the phase, "she may have died......we are looking into the matter..."

4. When Joey asks Carol about breast feeding...LMAO

5. When Rachel convinces Ross's girlfriend to go bald at the beach!

6. When Chandler is punished by Joey and sits in a Box...

7. The one with all the resolutions, and Chandler tries hard not to make fun of others....

8. When Rachel and Ross get married in Vegas after getting drunk!!

9. where Chandler cannot cry, and by the end cries on everything......

10. one of my favorite, where Ross tries to teach Rachel and Phoebe 'unagi'!!!

11. One of the beautiful episodes, both the proposal and marriage of Chandler and Monica

12. How Rachel and Chandler get mad about the Cheesecake!!

13. My super favorite, When Rachel tells Ross that he is the father....OMG the look on him...amazingly funny!!!

14. A beautiful episode where Rachel and Joey go on a date.

15. When everything falls apart as Rachel is late from her due date of delivery.

16. I guess in the 9th and 10th season, every episode is memorable, bacause each one gets serious of their lives and they all become super cool.........and as a girl must say, Rachel's clothes becomes like every girl's dream!!!

Friends is the series that makes you fall you love with your friends again, and I must say that this is a tribute to all my friends who are with me always always!!!

Cheers to 'friends' and friends.... :)

World Cup 2011

World cup 2011, well I read many technical articles about it all were like SO TRUE!!! And also at the end India so so so deserved this....so I am not going to write anything about that....

There were so many thoughts and so many discussions during the match,

I suddenly remembered that we had a chapter in our english literature about Kapil Dev that how he hit 3 sixes back to back....and India won the world cup that time.....

We were discussing all the sixes and all the centuries Sachin has ever hit, and how every time he hits a century he thanks his Father by looking up.....

At every ball that was played against India, heart skipped a bit....

How nothing seemed more appropriate than the NOT OUT decision given by third umpire for Dhoni....

How towards the last 5 overs, every time Malinga came to bowl, No one could stop chanting prayers.....

And at the end we finally won the WORLD CUP...well no word in the English Dictionary can describe that very feeling of all the Indians....

And then all the Indian players were hugging each other and celebrating, and I realized that even there were tears on my cheek too...and I felt stupid that I am crying on this?? And at that very moment I looked behind me, and the whole crowd behind me was Crying, we were all crying of the joy that We are so proud to be Indian!!!!!!!!!

I love to be an Indian.....I love you India.......

Proud to be an Indian!!!!

My "RESEARCH"

I joined VIT University as a "Research Scholar", well thats the name assigned to anyone who is doing Phd or Masters by research (my course)!! And believe me none of us are designated to be addressed as "scholars".

There are very funny names assigned here. People who do not stay at hostel are called "Day Scholars", does that mean that people who stay in hostels are stupid?? And how do you differentiate between these two categories? The ID card tag color is different...lol

Coming back to my research, well I first joined under a madam, a biggest mistake, take my words here, u never want a female guide or any female above the age of 35 as your mentor or boss!! She would be a professional version of a typical Indian nagging mother, and the worst part is that you cannot even answer back!!! My god she made my life a living hell for a period of 2 months!!!

So i changed my mentor or guide, as they say it in VIT and have joined under a very nice Sir.

but what about the research, well things go so slow here, that i come to lab everyday, do fb, read blogs, read e-papers, and finally wen i am bored to death, i play kiddo games on google chrome. haha they are fun!! remind me of times when i got my first desktop and used to play such games on computer, as didnt know any other use of it!! And at the end of the day I go to hostel as a "Research Scholar" and then watch movies... :)

Haha....life till now has been very funny for me....although i dont feel it because of the heat...as in i crib about the heat so much that nothing enjoying seems to be enjoyable!!

I hope my research scholar tag gets in use soon!!!

VIT UNIVERSITY (TIHAR JAIL PART II)

Its not been a month in VIT vellore and I am already writing against about it!!!

Well I recently shifted to VIT hostel, and these south indians are so so so smart, and so are there rules.

1. each girl has to return hostel before 8pm in working days and 5pm on holidays.

2. after 6.30pm--9pm each has to register there fingerprint in the hostel and sign the attendance register.

3. if you want to go out anywhere in the holidays, then you should tell your parents to send a fax to warden saying the same, then take permission from the warden and if her mood is good then you might get the chance to go out.

4. any time of the day if you want to go out of the campus, you have to write your details in the register, submit your hostel id, and take the fingerprint. and do the same wen u return. BTW you are not allowed to stay out of the campus for more than 2 hrs.

5. you cannot roam outside of your room after 9pm.

The worst in all these cases are, if they want to tell you something then they will do that in tamil, which is a complete alien language for me...and even of there are some english words in between...they will end up in maaaa.....

now i know why the code for chennai international airport is "MAA"!!!!

Among all these rules, i seriously feel i have come to a jail, all i wish for is a little bit of freedom......

Now i know how the indians must have felt before 1947!!!

Lonely ? ! ?

Would you call me lonely, if I have a lot of friends but none to talk?

Would you call me lonely, if I have a caring mother but not the strength to ask for her care?

Would you call me lonely, if I have a brilliant father but not the man I look upon in danger?

Would you call me lonely, if I have the perfect boyfriend but so far that I can't see him with my eyes with tears?

Would you call me lonely, if I have a lot of relatives but not a single one to laugh with?

Would you call me lonely, if I have teachers but they can't give me wisdom to be strong?

Would you call me lonely, if I have the God with me but he never answers my parents?

Would you call me lonely, if I feel lonely enough to be called lonely!!

"the potty talk"

Yes thats right, this is the exact title of a very interesting article.....

How to do potty in Indian way and moreover how to do it correctly!!! And it goes on explaining that "you should aim for the hole and finish your business".

Although I might be over judgmental about this article, but man this is funny!! I hope the message goes to each and every citizen!!!

All thanks to this article!!!

http://www.timescrest.com/society/potty-talk-and-other-tips-4353

So do it right...and do it the right way!!!

The so called "adult"

I miss the time when I was a kid and was allowed to cry on my failures, I was allowed to shout and panic when things didn't go according to my plan, I was allowed to leave the stuffs I didn't enjoy and no one used to tell me that I should control.

Then why are so many expectations from me now?

Why cannot I shout when I am angry?

Why cannot I cry when I am hurt?

Why cannot I show my emotions the way it comes to me?

All this only because there is a word attached to my life and age now? "Adult"??

I am tired being an adult, why cannot I be a kid again??

Rolls.....

I have traveled through most of India and had stayed for more than 1 year in some places.....

but I have never found out the exact taste of rolls anywhere in India other than in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

I have a long fetish for rolls, egg-chicken specifically. I just live having rolls and can have them for all day meals..

When I was in bhubaneswar, I used to travel across the city just to try different places for delicious rolls. Now that I am away...I really miss them....

I remember when I was in hostel, in Mumbai, me and one of my friend used to travel for almost 1.5hrs just to have rolls in a place which slightly similar to bbsr rolls.

I have tried many places in bbsr for rolls but the best ones are, Dev (near big bazaar), master canteen, rumali roti roll (bapujinagar), stall next to Amber shop, Chinese corner near DAV public school, stall near rainbow (indradhanu market).

And moreover its not just me who longs for this particular food.....i posted one sentence in FB and have got all missing rolls responses.

Trust me if you are reading this and you have not tried rolls of bhubaneswar, and you love food....then your list is missing some serious action!!

Try to know it....its heavenly!!!

One of My favorite!!!

This is one of the many songs which I am addicted to....I will never get bored of this song in particular...There are many emotions which we never able to define or calculate, and this song always reminds me of that...

I love truly madly deeply 'truly madly deeply'!!!

Cousins!!!!

Cousins, how often do we use this term?? May be once in months or year when we see someone out of surprise and then relate them as far distant cousins or cousins we are no more in touch with...

Being an Indian, its very important that we are always attached to our cousins, but now even that trend has been changed. I personally have over 50 first cousins, and countless 2nd cousins..... and I hardly know anyone. I hardly go to any of the family gatherings and these things are kinda alien terms to me...

But then as I think how stupid I am to have so many brothers and sisters and not care about them..... My recent visit to my cousins for over a week led me to think that how much enjoying it is to be with cousins and have fun....its like they are my new friends who wont judge me as they are related to me and would always be open to new fun ideas and habits.

I can always find a friend of my age group within my cousins and never feel leftout in a party...also they are always there to help me through my hard times, as they are more experienced and wont lecture me as mom n dad.... so its like a double bonanza for me.

It took me a long route to realize that how truly I am gifted with all my cousins...

Seriously I thank our Indian culture and tradition and huge families like mine to gift me with so many cousins....

P.S: Dedicated to all my lovely cousins!!!

Walk in the RAIN !!!

I walked in the rain for the first time without feeling disgusting.....and I really found my peace in that....don't know how, but I felt pleasure from the one thing I hate doing!!

Rains are one of the most controversial subject for me since childhood.....

I never knew from why the water comes from sky?? parents used to tell me that the sky is upset and is crying...and as an innocent fool, I used to convince myself that I wont ever be upset and cry like this....

Then in school, I studied about the water cycle, it was a lot more logical and fascinating, and I believed what I studied....never thought of sky crying....

But now that I am all aware of all the facts and believes, I stand alone sometime and see the rain, I want to believe my innocence back then. I don't know somehow rains tell me that there is nothing bad about showing our feelings to others, there is nothing wrong in letting our emotions go....we should never hold our emotions back and if we are not ashamed of showing our emotions then clearly tomorrow we will see a bright sunshine.

While watching the rains, I didn't think about the science behind it, I didn't analyse the logic of water, all I got is peace and hope for a better after.

I guess today I re-learned a lesson from Rain which was taught to me long time before.

Thanks for the shower!!!
