Sweet Talking!

Yes … thats been the theme of the week..

first sweet talk myself out of a traffic challan for jumping a yellow light

and today sweet talking for the first time ever the ticket checker to get me a seat while i got on the train with a wait listed ticket!

Life s becoming a lot of fun. D says , he thinks he’s bringing me all the luck!

Well he has no clue ;-) sshhhh….

 

More soon!

 

High on Life

hmm.. thats what i am feeling right now.

its one of those days .. that leave you sleepless and all kicked abt life . without a single possible comprehensible reason.

well.. the fact that i sweet talked a traffic cop out of issuing a ticket (challan) does count in “an experience ” that i ll always remember.

Plus am having so much FUN in my aerobic class…

but more than ever .. i got an amazing suggestion from my cousin .. whom i was talking over emails about D and the recent turn of events

She says : ”I hope your writing everyday.   I see a book about the first year of married life. “

And I say : “Nope . Havent been doing that . But i would now”

So starting now

I plan to document at least one high point of our talk … whatever be the medium .

And i think its such a perfect day today :)

Cheers!

 

Dancy Baby Dance

yay!

Finally . Work towards the personal goal is on track. and that’s not the only reason for all the dancing!!

went for my first dance aerobic class after what … 10 yrs?

i mean the last one i joined when i was in class 12th!!  and i remember it as one of the fun-est stuff i ve ever ever done.

this one beats it hands down. coz now i have a goal. so i have 20 days and 5 milestones to cross.

at the cost of sounding cryptic .. i ll go ahead and say . i know am gonna dance my way past ALL of them and MORE.

but i ll wind this up just in time to catch the next episode of “so you think you can dance”

so here’s to Dance (baby dance!)!!!

 

The insightful world in the pages of God Debris

Was browsing throught this e book that got from D , long time back. He said it s quite stunning and that was quite true.

yesterday was a particularly dull and boring day. I had set myself some tasks - professional and personal. and none were being close to met. so the theme of the day was “solemn” ( to put it ultra-mildly)

So finally after browsing on get a ways from chandigarh to exotic places like clouds end et al , which wasnt helping the situation much , i shifted my focus on this book thats been sitting quietly on my desktop - God Debris.

its about this conversation between a delivery boy ( who s the narrator ) who comes to drop a package for this mysteriously curious person , who has one zillion questions and a unique perspective of looking at things called .. Mr Avtaar.

Some breathtakingly refreshing one liners ( & more) jumped at me from the pages of the book.

“when you consider all of the things that can be known , I don’t know much”

do i ? dont i ? thats the quandry . Do i really know everything. what’s everything anyways? its all in the mind . the definition , the context , the knowledge and the perception. the ignorance and the arrogance of knowing it all . the humility of not knowing it all too well , not quite.

the mind is the brilliant trickster , and that takes me to another gem of a thought.

“the human brain is a delusion generator”

Some how I find the idea of a “brain” too mechanical . like an object. on the contrary , i feel “the mind” is a more open sided , free - flowing idea . with no boundaries . but then . .. when you dont have clear boundaries … the chances of one getting carried away from ‘what is there’ to ‘what can be there’ (reality vs eutopia) .

am still reading the book… so the post is WIP

 

And the game ends

Finally. And i must say am quite glad.

Roadies 5.0 has been to sum it up in few quick crisp words . Very Boring. Yawn!

The people in the show are more bothered about how they look on screen than how much extra mile can they go to prove their worth.

They have become caricatures of the once “super cool” roadies that I used to love watching last yr . But far from the spunky , go - out -there and give it all you ve got fanatics . here ’s a lot that ll disappoint you during tasks ( which are brilliantly crafted this time!) , but play by all the rules in the book and create some new ones when it concerns politics.

Watching Nihal , Sonel and Ashutoush fight it out ( ha ha ha ) in the finals is like watching a bangladesh Vs canada 5 day match . yawn again.

whats so great about the show now?

The behind the scenes , watching the highly amusing stylings of bumpy  , Raghu and the team freaking out while planning the tasks .

the torture chamber with Nikhil ( sigh ! he still looks as dishy as he used to some 10 yrs back .. sigh again.. ) and his totally in your face questions .

The masti that the crew does - “mock vote outs” and YES.. the tasks!!

well the sms - stripping that showed as the men were getting deprived of their clothing , how the combined IQ of the girls on the show was less than a “panchvi pass” .. was to say the least HILLARIOUS,

am looking forward to the next yrs auditions already.As far as this yr is concerned. the game ’s over .
