Independence day special
Radio channels are suddenly playing all the patriotic songs that otherwise never get played, TV channels are showing movies like swades and rang de basanti. I am sure DD is showing Roja as always. That's not it, I nearly fell down laughing when I saw 'Kasauti zindagi ki, Indepence day special'. I wonder what is going to happen, all the saas and bahus sing the national anthem together? Or are they going to wear tri colour bindis and tricolour sarees and talk about Gandhiji? I for one am not looking forward to it. I don't mind watching roja for the nth time though :)

Letting go....
Long back I wrote this . Today my mom went to an astrologer and she asked something for me. He said it will never happen. I am heart broken though I try to convince myself he cant possibly be correct, he is human after all that he cant tell my future. My dream is gone, there is no mystery. I am never ever going to any astrologer ever. Idiots. That's what they are. Nobody is telling me what I can do and what I cant.

Am alive!
Blog turns one and I leave it unattended and neglected. I have been busy and loving it. Wish I could blog more often, that reminds me blogspot blocked again? I had to use http://pkblogs.com/ or is it just a technical glitch? Not sure, anyway my favorite month is here, festivals, independence day and birthdays...Don't you just love August? I will be back, lots to write, tags to do....also both blog and me have been doing some soul searching in the little free time we had, will write about that soon. Time to go to office....more work! :)

:(
Within 24 hours I managed to find a long lost friend and upset her(probably lose her again, don't know the damage yet). All thanks to an email challenged friend who forwarded a 'confidential' mail to the above said person 'by mistake'. Hmrppphhh!! I don't feel as sorry, I really do think her husband looks funny.

Pointless
'Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless' said someone great in the forwarded email I got yesterday. And I did just that. Watched 4 movies, went on long walks, ate like crazy. I plan to watch the worldcup finals now, don't really care who wins. May the best team with the most good looking men win. :)
Update:
Did France just lose? Did Zidane really do that? I am fine but it was a major blow for my sister who has never seen any sport in her life but whose current joblessness situation had turned her into a soccer fan. She spent the entire time educating me on what offside is and telling me what a perfect gentleman Zidane is. Until of course red card happened. I think she is still in shock.

One year old!
Dear Blog,
You were born a year ago on this very day, another one in a land of millions. I wasn't sure what I'd do with you but for someone who hardly has anything interesting to say I think I did a good job of bringing you up. Sure,I never poured my heart out here but I am glad you listened so patiently to all that I have had to rant about. I am thankful for you being non judgmental, for letting me be what I am and sometimes letting me be what I want to be. Don't be deterred by the counter that seems to have frozen or the comments that may not come, it was never meant to be that way, most posts like the last one are notes to myself. But both you and I will agree the best part of this journey, the icing on the cake, has been meeting all the people through you, people who bothered to read and cared enough to comment. I love them all, I really do. I don't know your future coz I don't know mine but I know that I will always love you, you are one those very few things in this world that I can call of my own. Happy Birthday Blog!
