The long trinnnnggg and the rush to pick up the phone before anyone else picks it up, the cheer when it was her, and the disappointment when it was for dad…
The not knowing when she will call again, and the not knowing who will pick if I called…
The blank Calls and the smiles that followed… the short calls the empty it left…
I miss the Sound of Romance !
p.s. Apologies if you follow my flickr page and the other blog, because this is what you might have seen there too…
Amazing music !!! Love it !!!
And I bought myself a 1:87 replica of the 1958 Porsche Speedster, the car from Top Gun, one of the BEST movies EVER made !!! And not many songs come close to The Top Gun Theme !!! The music that melts my heart just right !
And what on earth is an Organic Bra !!! I have heard of Organic Tomatoes, Organic Potatoes, Organic Juice, Organic Tea, but this is taking the organic fever too far !!!
Meet Arobindo Sinha…
I hate him for a lot of reasons but because today is his birthday (In India, not yet in the Amreeka though..which technically makes him younger than he is), so I will try to be nice to him and give him a birthday gift right here at the Chai ki Dukaan !!!
The the gift is this AD:
Alliance wanted for a well settled Bengali Boy ( err, boy!!! ) ok.. whatever… Alliance wanted for a well settled bengali boy who is
1. a gem at heart (not gems, but gem)
2. has the best laughter in this world
3. knows how to be direct, and show you the mirror
4. Comfort you when you really need it, for most of the rest of the time he will make fun of you or just laugh
5. Is the oldest stud in our gang, but still young enough to get married
6. Was born on the 22nd of July a few decades ago
7. Used to own a phone that Neo had in Matrix and that phone used to be his identity… That phone used to come back to him irrespective of where he left it, the cab, the cafeteria, his seat, someone Else’s seat, loo, anywhere…
7A. Loves to spend time in the LOO…
8. Knows more about life than most of the people I know of my age group
9. Has been an avid traveler
10. Is a very very well read person… Probably knows more about books than anyone else I know… (The bugger bought the entire collection of CnH just to tease me and Bindiya !!!)
11. Is not too keen on marriage because he thinks it would be really tough to give up the independence, and share the space he has for himself
12. is one of the best people I have met in my life…
Too long an ad eh !!!
Subbu,
Ek milestone ho gaya in the AD 🙂 next step is the TOI Matrimonial Section 😀
May the wedding bells ringgggggggggggggg !!! Amen !!!
Oh and I almost forgot… I called him at midnight to wish him happy birthday 😀 and he was so happy that he promised to call me once every week at midnight ( while I am sleeping) to wish me a happy birthday for the next 52 😀
Dilbert’s Moral compass was broken by Dogbert and he was then promoted to the position of the vice president of the department which makes life miserable for employees !!!
Very interesting thought about having a moral compass… I am assuming that having this would mean that we can always point out the direction of the right and the wrong… having a compass also means that we also have something that will facilitate our moving in the right direction…
Now the question is, how many of us still have their moral compass working and how many actually follow the directions !!! or is there we live in a magnetic field of thoughts and opinions where the moral compass does not work because of the distractions…
All this while Hobbes just saw the future… that Calvin was being thrown into a mud hole 😀
1. Talk nonsense or sense with friends but avoid a serious discussion
3. Discuss a future plan
6. go through old pictures
8. Figure out something that you don’t understand
2. Give someone a surprise
4. Do something nice for yourself
9. Don’t sit on the bed and watch TV
7. Flirt

Some more additions that I personally liked (from the comments)…
12. Gardening (do something in the garden)
32. Drive ( This has always helped me too… Gosh, I miss my car and the music so much)
I am listening to
Tu hai Aasmaan mein ( Jhankaar Beats ) … still in love with this song even after 5 years…
and I want to listen to Nirvana (Come as you are)
some more tips… take as many as you want per day even without a bad mood 🙂
11. Do something with your hands… gardening was one… cooking is another… maybe making clay objects too…
19. Sing loudly to your favorite music… My choice of songs would be Sa Re Ga Ma ( from Chupke Chupke), Baajoooooo (Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi), Jaaneman Jaaneman Tere ye do nayan, Do Dewaane Shahar mein, Zindagi Aa raha hoon main, Hum Bekhudi mein Tumko Pukare Chale gaye… and lots more…
54. Dance
! out of here now !!!
Thank you Kim for the help in change of impression !!!
for the record, Kim is the manager of the hotel that I am staying in and was very kind and polite while handling a few issues that my collegue had at his hotel…
I am open to a change in impression, and am glad to see some good conversations !!!
I call that rude, maybe some people would call it a to the point, matter of fact experience when it comes to flying domestic in this country!!!
Found it very strange that you have to buy a headset in case you want to listen to music ( actually I did not realise that I could use my own headset too) and that you have to buy food on the flight… even though I am paying some $270 bucks one way on that 3.5 hours flight… on second thoughts I should not be complaining as I had seen in the news a few days back that because of the high oil prices most of the flights are running in losses… they are not making a single dollar earning, on the contrary have a loss of anything between $500 – $1000 per flight… But I am a customer; I should get what I am paying for!!! In double minds about this complaint right now!!!
Also it might be just me who is feeling this, but I usually get a second look because I am an Asian… there are not many that I have seen in places I have been to in the last two weeks of my stay in the US… honestly, I am still to start liking this country except for the fact that my camera equipment is cheaper here…
So this weekend I am in Phoenix… the oven city ( that’s what I am calling it) the temperature is around 105 degs Fahrenheit which is only 40deg Celsius, but because its dry, it feels as if my body is sitting in a Tandoor… already having a bad headache today and I have another two days left here, and all this when I have survived the 45degs in Delhi… i am going to avoid this sudden change of temperature from my room to outside and then back into office tomorrow.. How!! Not yet sure of yet!!!
Ok enough of cribs… here are few good moments from my flight!!! I am going to try and enjoy the rest of my weekend, hope you do too!!!
Distances don’t always cause distances in relationships…
Some relationships get only stronger with distances !!!
Sorted it out in the morning today !!!
back to normal !!
During this time, I seriously thought of starting to work on a few things that have been kept in the cold storage for a while !!!
They always present me two different perspectives of things when I am confused…
They are
HeartMe
And
MindMe
So I am not just me, but I have two more essential parts of me the HeartMe and the MindMe…
HeartMe is more of an emotional give it anything and will see what happens later kind of a guy…
MindMe, is the calculative one… looks before he leaps, plans makes sure things fall into place…
These two guys don’t get along very well with each other… MindMe goes right, and HeartMe goes left…
MindMe says there is pain coming, HeartMe says there is happiness afterwards…
HeartMe says lets do it, MindMe says wait for the right opportunity…
HeartMe says today is the day to live in; MindMe says what about next Thursday?
HeartMe pushes me here, MindMe pushes me there…
And poor me, I being a good friend of both of them has to hear them fight every time we three reach a crossroad… thank God the fights have not been physical so far otherwise I would have been a walking nutcase hitting myself while walking talking standing sitting… what a hilarious situation would that be…
At times the HeartMe is invited to the MindMe’s apartment and we take the argument to a logical end…
Other times, we three sit down for a drink in HeartMe’s cottage and find happiness for ourselves leaving logic behind….
But most of the time, both of them like to come where I am, and we have a blast together, well mostly intense conversations to be honest, usually the results of these conversations is what others call a balance…
And Life goes on…
Still listening to All I want is you and Tesu…
