Coorg-After a long time

I have always enjoyed going back to coorg after a long time. That’s when I cherish and enjoy every minute of being in coorg...The cool breeze, the lush green surrounding, the coffee, the rains, the people and with all this It makes me feel lucky and proud of being a coorg girlJJ...In fact everyone from coorg are naturally obsessed with this placeJ…

My recent visit was no different…It feels like heaven when the ever fresh cool breeze hits your face and the fact that I knew I was away from the Pune  pollution made me feel even good and enjoy coorg more...And this time my excitement was the weekend wedding as well.

My 10 days at coorg was unlimited fun and lots of excitementJ...I prefer putting up a few photographs rather than say all of itJ

Our very own Sardarni..oops Rachna Shetty:-)

She is a sweetheart, one of my best friends, a tube light and has always been a laughter stock for us. Her being silly unintentionally all the time, has been more like an added advantage for us to pull her legs which none of us missed doing and laugh away to glory at everything she did ( and does J)...eventually she became the “Sardarni” for us and that’s what we love to cal herJ……

With you, I have been nice and at times really rude but no matter what, I have always loved you from day one:-). You will always be our only sardarni and we promise not to replace you with anyone else J;-)

As my best friend, you are...
B - Benevolent
E - Entertaining
S -Soulful
T - Talented
B -Blessed
U-Unique
D- Dashing
D- Determined
Y- Youthful

May this Birthday teach you that failure, depression; rejection, sorrow, hurt and pain are words that you should erase from the dictionary of your life.

Wish you a very happy birthday rach and wish you all the happiness in the world…love you loads...

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY:-)

Loong Awaited Vacation:-)

Oh Yes!!...The Title speaks for its self... I’m gonna be on vacation...Frankly I’m beaming end to endJJ...Excited big time…For quite some time I have been avoiding taking vacations, I have my own reasons for that but this time I wanna make it to the fullest..I have been waiting for this for some time now…

What’s exciting me the most??!!...it’s the weekend wedding of my cousinJJJJ...Oh my god!!!...I can’t wait to be at the wedding and join the celebration mood, It’s been years since we had a family wedding… what’s more exciting is all the new clothes I get to wear, meeting up with cousins, the very colorful Coorg wedding and the food..JJJ…Mmmm...Can’t wait!!...

I was thinking of our school time...How much we loved our quarterly vacations then, the best one was the summer vacationJ, done with the annual exams and we used to be almost like free birds for about two months…what fun!!!...Playing in the sun ( Hide and Seek was my favorite and I played it every day with my little sisters) , the long cycle rides, visiting grandparents and cousins, the usual summer shopping, the summer camps, visiting places...Wow!!!…Nothing can beat those days and compensate for the fun we had thenJ...summer vacations are every kid’s fantasy…

And now as a grow up, when I Plan for my vacation’s home half the time I wonder what do I do for such a long time at home (and the long time would be a mere 10 days), Is that how grownups think??!!, planning a vacation home bothers me big time, and in fact I’m glad when I’m back and start off with my usual routine, though I crib about it (aren’t we complicated!!).... And to add to the vacation worries sometimes we have our work bothering us and the very thought of making sure to check our emails everyday...

For a few reasons, I miss being a kid and miss not having to think how to spend a vacation, I know all of us do miss being kids and at some point think the same J…

This time it’s slightly different for me and I’m Glad about it…obviously it’s because of the wedding as it’s gonna keep me a little busy and I have a few things planned as my Friend is  joining meJJJ…

Worries and cribbing apart…On a serious note, I really wanna have loads of fun this time, with nothing to bother me...My long awaited vacation is starting offJJJ

Falling in Love….:-):-)

Falling in love, I believe is a girls dream…If I’m not wrong every girl wishes for a fairy tale love story which ends with a wedlock or should I say the wedlock we wish would be our fairy tale part 2.

At the age of 6, I decide to marry the guy I fall in love with…very little did I know then, about falling in love and nothing did I know about being married…Marriage has always been a fantasy for me. TO me the “being married” example were my parents and my extended family...I secretly admired the romantic moments my parents had, the birthday kiss mum got from my dad, the gifts mum got, their pre marriage letters (I did sneak peek into my mom’s pre wedding collection of letters from my dad...I’m a little embarrassed about it now, though I don’t remember what I read in them :-p)... not to forget, I loved the Card my maternal aunt received  addressed as “Darling” from her hubby, my uncleJJJ( again that was a sneak peek done by my cousin  and I got to see it too and do all the giggling possible)…I Felt that was sooo romantic and I did think from then , cards were the best way to express what you felt..In fact even to this day if I wanna say something special I choose a card and the card I give means every bit of the content it has...

 Maybe I was too small to think about all of it I have mentioned, but then, I did not realize the age factor and moreover I always felt I was the big girl (that’s the effect of being the older baby at home).

As I grew older my dreams had a lot of additions to it, romantic movies played a major influence on me for sure...I loved each one of the additions and the fantasy’s, the best part of it was I could always smile thinking of itJJJ...Never did I dream of a very handsome Prince Charming, but always wanted someone like the boys I had at home (my Cousins) funny, naughty, cranky, friendly and sweet…A little later “romantic” was an additionJJJ,..From my side, All I wanted to do was be truthful and a best friend…..For a few (maybe the boys) all this might sound a little cheesy… Especially our dreams of a finding a perfect “love”…. Who cares!!!! These dreams at one point of time become a girl’s world. (I’m not sure how many of them will accept this, but to a certain extend its true)

Over the years I have seen so many of my friends fall in love, and enter the wedlock…..believe me I get very excited over this and I have all the emotions overflowing... And deep inside I wish for my turn to come soonJJJJ….

I still have little idea about the “being married status”; I’m saying this because all my married girl friends say you won’t know anything about “being married” unless you are actually married... But Just the thought of it is exciting me……

Oh, don’t get ideas... I’m still not in the list, these thoughts are running in my mind as I have been hearing about a lot of wedding preparations recently….And here I’m waiting for my turn to be on top of the list:-PJJJ
