Hello everybody,
Wondering where were we since soooo many days:P!!!!?????
Hehehe;)Well,Nothing much....So here's the article which i planned to write 6months ago!!!!!!!!Finally the time is come...YUPPIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

I am just thinking how to start it???
Ok here we go........tantadaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Main Kabhi Batlata Nahin
Par Andhere Se Darta Hoon Main Maa
Yun To Main,Dikhlata Nahin
Teri Parwaah Karta Hoon Main Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata, Hain Na Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata,,Meri Maa

Bheed Mein Yun Na Chodo Mujhe
Ghar Laut Ke Bhi Aa Naa Paoon Maa
Bhej Na Itna Door Mujkko Tu
Yaad Bhi Tujhko Aa Naa Paoon Maa
Kya Itna Bura Hoon Main Maa
Kya Itna Bura.... Meri Maa

Hmm....Writing this becoz my mom was here with me for past 20days at bangalore.
Now she's back to Mangalore:(

And finally started feeling home sick again(this happens to me every alternate day:P)
Every Morning she'l prepare me hot hot coffee,and I happily sip every bit of it without even realizing that it was actually my job to get up early in the Morning and prepare a tea for her.May be she used to expect my daughter would do it for me...,and i missed it every single day!!!!(How dumb of me!!!!:( )

Every single day she used to ask me for my fav.dish and cook for me.
I didnt even thank her for preparing me my fav.dishes!!!!:(
(Probably later in future if my daughter will do this, I wont cook again;))))

There are days where she waited patiently for my arrival from the office.
No matter what her tensions are,what her worries are, she'd always welcome me with a smile!!!!!(Which i can never do if a person is late or i am tensed about something!!)

And then one day i just yell at her without even realizing how much will the mom be hurt!!!!!!

My other mom(Puj's mother),at times didnt even meet her!!!!!She used to visit.,just to c if i was fine.There are even times when i have hurt her too:(

There are times when i want to tell her i am sorry...just cannot tell it becoz of my ego!!!Want to tell her that she is my life...want to Thank her for taking care of me sooo much!!!!But just cant do it......

Just wanted to say to both my moms...I am sorry for hurting!!!
And probably would never do it again!!!!:(
And Most important of all Thank You for making me feel so special every single minute!!:)
I'l always be there for you both..........

Hmmm....So much to say yet no words to put in!!!!
Just want to Thank all the mum's in the world!!!!
THANKU MAA....

(Too senti post right??!!!;))))

Lots of Love,
Ashu

#1:
Unka saath paakar,
Khushnaseeb ban jaavu,
Unke pyar mei amar ho jaavu,
Radha ya Rukmini jaise na banu,
Balki khud mei unki Meera ban jaavu!!!:)

#2:
Pyar ki rahon mei chalkar,
Zindagi ko jannat samajh baithe!!!
Ud gaya vishwas hamara,
Jab woh saath dene se inkaar kar baithe!!!:)

#3:
Hum aksar khamosh rehte hain,
Chup rehna pasand karte hain!!!
Ab logon ko kaise samjhaye,
Ki tanhai mei hi unhe hum yaad kiya karte hain!!!!;)

Love.....,
Ashu!!!!!!!

Zindagi mei bahut tarah ki mulaqate hoti hai lekin hamari mulaqat kuch iss tarah hui...

Mei khaadi thi phone booth ke paas,aur achanak...ye kya.....!!!Ailaa....woh chillaa rahi thi phone mei,..dekha toh, mann mei darr sa baith gaya...!!!meine socha agar mei galti se bhi usse dubara milungi,woh toh mujhe kaccha chaba jayegi!!!!Bina soche samjhe hum nau do gyaara ho gaye!!!:P

Agli mulaqat.....

Pehle din class mei woh mujhe phir dikhi....Achanak se lagi iss jhatke se,meri dimaag ki batti gul ho gayi!!!!:PPP

Woh dikti rahi...hum darte gaye!!!;)

Phir ek din: tantadaaaaaaaaaaaa..............

Chalo baat-cheet shuru ho gayi.... Aise kahin mauke aaye,jisse meri dimaag mei jo impression uske liye bani thi, woh toot gayi!!!! meri andar ki aatma jaag uthi!!! [galat mat samajhna!!!:P] hehehe;)

Hum karreeb hote gaye.... dosti aur gaheri hoti gayi... laga jaise, agar mujhe koi bhi taklif hogi ya koi badi musibat hogiii, woh mere liye hamesha rahegi... ek saath, ek vishwas, ek saccha dost, ek guru, ek guide..... pata nahi aur kaise mei usse describe karu!!!! Kabhi kuch galat na kehne wali, Kabhi dusron ko hurt nahi karne wali, hamesha sabki madadat karne wali..... haan maine jaana hai usse...

Saccha dost milna bahut naseebowali baat hoti hai... haan mujhe mila... Har choti choti baat meri usse yaad hai, Bina kahe hi woh sab samajh jaati hai... jab bhi meri aankhen namm hui, uska kandha hamesha tha mere liye ..!!!

Yahan par ek aisi ghatna bolna chahti hun uske baare mei:::

Hamare lab exams chal rahe the... aur output na milne ke wajah se... mei roh padi.. woh thi mere liye bahar, jaise hi meine usse dekha mei roh padi.... woh mujhe console karti rahi.... pura din, puri raat!!! Bina kisi pehchaan ke, woh mujhe apne ghar le gayi... kabhi mujhe ye ehsaas hone nahi diya ki mei kisi anjaan ke ghar gayi hun... Itna Khayal shayad hi koi rak sakta hai... Aisi bahut se ghatnaye hai, agar mei kehne lagu toh shayad agle saath janam bhi mere liye kaafi nahi honge!!! Woh aur koi nahi meri sabse acchi dost, MY BEST FRIEND:::: POOJA!! (aka pooj :P) Mere paas aur shabdh nahi ki usse kis tarah se describe karu.....!!!

Bas yehi bolna hai ki::

Apni aankhon mei noor chupa rakha hai,

Hoshwalon ko deewana kar rakha hai,

Naaz kaise na karu aapki dosti par,

mujh jaise nacheez ko khaas jo bana rakha hai!!!!

With Lots of Love,

Ashu

"Wild" Joke.!!

2009-11-02T23:40:00.000-08:00

[Had read this one long back on Bawa's site..]

A GrandPa - who s become sooo very delicate of old age - with all his skin wrinkled, his back hunched, and aided by a walking stick, goes to the mall to do his Christmas shopping.. [His grandson dint turn up early for christmas this year, and he had to buy all gifts by himself.!]
After a spending much time and energy in tourturing-ly long billing queues, he decides he wants to have some nice refreshing coffee. He goes to the Mall's coffee shop, orders a drink and is sitting at a table nearby, waiting for his coffee, when this punk-ish yougster walks in and he has his hair streak-ed. He has streaks of blue and green and pink and yellow and red and violet and all the other possible colours on earth.!

Now our Grampa never goes out much these days, and hence has never seen anything like this in his whole life.! So, becomes curious and starts staring at this guy. The guy finally over-whelmed with all the attention being showered, scowls "Wazza-matter Grampa?? Never done anything wild in your youth??"
To which grampa smiles and replies "Sure did sonny.! When i was young, i screwed up a peacock. i was just wondering if you were my son.!!"

[hehehehe]
Jgd.!
- Love
Pooja :-)

ps: joke s purely for a hearty laugh. any kind of timeline analysis or bio laws that raise questions on the subject will get "timed-out" in the posts queue.!! ;-) :-)

My “twin”-“soul”.!!?

2009-10-21T04:17:00.000-07:00

Brace urselves – this one s gonna be real loooong.!!!!!!
And I dont wanna hav it any other way, so - here goes..........

Scene 1:

3rd semester, BE is coming to an end, lab exams are juz around the corner…
And someone s just got a fresh previous year paper and obviously everybody else wants it too.
Now, exam times - all Xerox shops around SJCE are always crowded., and sooo many ppl – alllll going thr to get a single paper Xeroxed, made no sense...
So, Me and Vinu volunteered.
We polled – “how many want a copy of this paper?”
7 to 8 hands in the air.
Juz three month into my branch, and upon that, i'm not much of a memory person, So – I dint kno 80% of the class…
Vinu did most of data management for me – so she did all the counting, accounting and the product(Xeroxed question paper) distribution part.
“DJ, you, me, Chaithra-Chaithra, Ashwini and Chaithanya, then Sanchitha…! Take Total 8 copies”
I din’t even know 50% of the ppl we vr takin Xerox for.!

Next day, I’m climbing down the steps after class…
“Here s ur 1 rupee 50 paisa – thanks for the Xerox.”
.??!!?!
“Hey that’s OK.!! :-) No probs.. its juz a rupee”
In response, I get “No. Its ur dad’s money NOT urs. Take it.!!”
With that, she thrust the 1 rupee 50 paisa in my hand, and turned and went…
“Vinu, WHO S THIS??!!?!”
“ASHWINI DESHPANDE”.!!!
(quite a character.!!)

(image "intentionally" made blur.!)

Scene 2:

Less than a week later… Lab exams are going on… I enter college… Vijetha stops me to say “Nam claa-al ashwini antha idhaaL gottha? Placement cell hathra ninthkond aLthaa idhaaLe, fail aagogtheeni antha. Output barlilla anthe.!!” [Translation: Hey – u kno that girl Ashwini in our class? – She s near the placement cell. And she s weeping lots. She said she dint get the output.!!]
I go and find her... She hugs me starts crying – real hard.!! Me – dumb struck.! Dunno wat to do, how to handle the moment… I juz hug her back…
Then she again says thanks, and goes home.!
ASHWINI.!!!
(still a character.!!)

Scene 3:

3rd sem exams are juz over... new year has arrived... she takes me to our college temple, gives me a little-ish archies notebook... In it is a letter with a mind-blowing shaayri and "thanks for everything" written on it.!
ASHWINI.!!
(character.!!)

By now of course, as u might have guessed, I was growing to think that this Ashwini character was the weirdest homo sapiens I had ever laid my eyes on [Apart from wen I looked into the mirror of course]
Now, she was one of those One-in-a-million ppl who thought FAFL was an awesome subject to be learnt and taught [Phew.!!], she drove her Kinetic at 30 kmph [literally.! I can giv u phone numbers of ppl who ll swear by it], she had this weird idea that smiling for a camera made her look funny [yeavy.!!] anddd she had much fame (and fanfare??) for blasting ppl left and right..., oh – n she also had this unexplicable urge to tell me “thanks for everything” – even wen she got juz the tiniest sliver of chance to.!!

To giv u guys a glimpse of her eccentricity: Here's an incident -
We are driving back from a farm-house we had been to[on the out-skirts of Mysore] and she suddenly decides that she is hungry.! I dunno wat to do. Then she spots a few imli(tamarind) trees along the way and announces that imli will work to stall her hunger till the time we reach city. So we stop at the next tree. The imli *clusters* are a bit out of reach, and all our friends are already gone. She has this stroke of brilliance and has me park my Activa on central stand, climb on its seats and pick a few imli for her.! We turn back to see our host[The guy who s farm we had juz visited], and his wife, and his li'l son - 10 feet behind us - all gaping at us open mouthed, wondering wat the hell we were up to.!!!
ASHUUUU.!!!!

(ya ya.... character.!!!)

From strangers to best friends – dunno how the transformation happened.!

As we became friends, we realized we had a lot in common:
· We have both been adamant/mischievous since kids,
· we loved roamin' the street of mysore – screamin “aaaaaaaa” at every hump possible,
· and we actually laughed at the shocked faces of ppl who saw us act this weird,
· then we also liked having chaats every evenin - in front of our coll,
· we liked driving to Chamundi hills to hav mirchi bhajjis,
· we liked to drive 5 kms from college to eat 50 paise popsicles – which btw, were also available inside collage campus.
· We liked to walk the city streets from morning till night to shop for a single dress or something lesser at times too.
· We liked to get baloons from hawkers and play volleyball with ‘em past mid-n8.
In between all these, somehow, our differences (that were many) - dint matter at all...
[Giving us company in all this mayhem were Vinu and Chaithu]

B.E in Mysore was a long lasting holiday (We roamed around everyday and went on trips evry other day). After that she joined her job in Bangalore. And I went for my training in Trivandrum. We talked on phone evry day. When the time came for my posting to be announced, I kept praying to God that it shud be B’lore. Luckily enough, B’lore it was.!!!

It was like back to holidaying [We did miss all our other friends, of course, but in hopes of compensating for it – we met every single weekend.!] We started foolin around again – oly, now in B’lore, and we oly got weekends free for that. [Really dint matter, if you ask me.! – a week (5days) can go juz like that, like 4 yrs of engineering or 2 months of Trivandrum training or 23/24 yrs of being on this planet.!]

5 yrs of this amazing friendship now – and the bond is still as strong as freshly brewed Arabic coffee.! :-P

( No comments plz.!! :-D )

She is a no nonsense/straight forward person – but she has never ever told me anything that I would’nt like.!
Wenever we re deciding on stuff[be it anything, - deciding on a movie, deciding where to go out for shopping, wat place to go fot an outing, for food, evrything], She s been so very understanding/sacrificing that not once hav I felt that she is actually doing it juz because "i" wanted it. She behaves as if its her most fav thing/place in the world.
She s a li’l impatient – but she has got all the time to listen to all my stupid boring stories - right from Shankaracharya to my latest crush.!, from Yoga Vasista to Douglas Adams, and the other nonsense stuff i keep rambling about – she hears it all out, without a single complaint. Watever her irritations, she juz smiles it off.
She scolds ppl so much – for me – its been only once or twice max.!! [Come on.!! Wats the fun of being her best friend – if I don’t get it even for once?? Pick up a dictionary for the meaning: if it’s a good one, you ll see: ashu(n)=species exhibiting affinity to blast fellow-beings] ;-)

3 yrs ago, wen she got committed to Ji [while we were still in Coll], I thought it was time to let go and giv her space. But she manages it all so well, that never have I felt that there has been a difference at all.![And thankyou Ji…. Juz felt like I ought to thank you for her, So – Thanks. :-)]

Uncle, aunty (Ashu’s parents) got shifted to Mangalore a few months back. So, now she s shifted beneath our house and we literally live together now.
The fun/excitement we ve had setting up her home, unpacking old stuff, buying new stuff, arranging ‘em… And the satisfaction we had after completing it.!! We even had a house warming ceremony.! [Mayb I shud write a separate post on it.! Ya.. that’s wat I ll do….. I ve got a load of photos to share thr.!!]

She has mastered the art of reading my mind [which is quite an achievement, I must say, given the fact that 95% of the times I Myself dunno wats goin on in der.!!]. Juz one look at me – and she asks me “this is wat ur thinking, is’nt it??” – Now I do believe in mind-reading.

Nowadays she s also developed this weird hobby of sending me these scary gud n8 messages when she s out of station [or I am out of station – or juz wen we re not together...]

Messages like -

“Every heart has a pain.. Only the way of expression is different.. Some hide it in eyes while some hide in their smile… tc ”

“Hello my twinsoul hope u had something to eat :-)I am still not getting sleep. Haha.. gn.Sd. tak care. C u soon B-) tata”

“Hey bus just left.i promise never to take Volvo bus in the night ;-) convey my good night wishes to aunty and uncle :-D and special gn to u :-P B-)”

“Hey puj, me abt to sleep juz remembered you, gn ;-)”

“Hello slept?me came to sleep now after watching serial.was stil thkg u wud b already sleepin here on cot.agn realized u r not here :-(”

- can be pretty scary wen they re not from ur boyfriend.!!

[But, don’t worry Ji, she doesn’t mean any harm by those.!! So don’t you worry at all.!! :-D]

She has given me so much of a reason to live life for and she sacrifices for me so many a times, without even thinking twice about it. There are many times she s smilingly/willingly done stuff that she does’nt really have a liking towards – juz because it’d make "me" happy. She s one person I’m comfortable sharing my deepest thoughts and secrets with – and she makes me feel like I’m totally accepted, the way I am.[A rose is a rose whether its in a golden pot or in a clay pot, Same way ur alwz my frnd whether ur from African forest or from loacal bannergatta Zoo,!! – Ya – ur rite... one more of her crazy SMSes]

Right from givin me my one rupee 50 paise to a piece of her mind... From sending me scary good night messages to comforting me at my worst times. From having me climb my vehicle to pick imli for her to cookin for my whole khandaan - She s done it all.!!

Yaaaa... "From strangers to best friends – dunno how the transformation happened.!" But am sure glad it did.!! :-)

:-)

And because its been quite some time since i ve dedicated my fav song to anybody, Here goes:

No1 cud ever kno me, – no1 cud ever see me,
seems u re the oly 1 who knows - wat its like to b me.!!
Sum1 to face the day wid, make it thro’ all the mess wid,
Sum1 I’ll always laugh(and cry) with…….
Even at my worst, I’m best wid uuuuuuuuuuuuu.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll be thr for u – lik u’ll b thr for me tooooo-ooo-oooo.!!!!

And to think that I’ve never thanked her ever in my life.!!

Ashu.!!! My twinsoul.!! Thanks for everything…. And for sparkling up my life by merely stepping into it… And most of all - Thanks for juz being thr for me.!!!
Love u soo……… :-) :-)

JGD.!
- Love,
Pooja. :-)

ps: coming up shortly - photos.!!!
[damn.!! I hav to buy new data cable for my cell. I ve lost mine and hence cant transfer photos to comp right now.!!]

pps: Me and Ashu will be “jointly” managing this blog, and for this joint venture, we really couldn’t think of a better name than - “twinsouls.!!”
