My Time Line !!Tick Tick!!...:-0


Since I’m moving out of Pune in a month’s time I resigned from my job after I got back from home in September. Though I’m still serving my notice period I feel like I have no responsibility over anything at work even though things are the same and my work got a little hectic than usual.
All I can think of is ‘when will I get back home?’ and ‘when will I stop working!’...My mind is literally blank and now I’m counting days for my BIG day…I’m all excited, but being a control freak I try not to show it out too much. There is too much of anxiety and sometimes I do freak out.
The fact that I’m quitting my job and moving back to Coorg makes me feel like my last day at work is my last day of this part of “My world”. Actually it is true!!! The minute I leave Pune It’s all gonna be different for me. I feel I’m falling short of days, mostly short of weekends. And having this in mind I’m in a rush to do everything. I wanna visit places, meet friends, eat in new restaurants, go shopping and everything possible. Yes!!...I realized I have ended up spending hell lot of money, and put on oodles of weight. It bothers me at times, but my “one month” timeline comes into picture and I feel it’s ok to be spending too much/over eating for once!!...And I go back to my spending and hogging mood. I don’t understand why I fell I’m never gonna get all of this ever.
I’m not very sure if this is normal; I’m getting married to no stranger. I have waited all my life to get married and now when its happening it feels crazy at times. One moment I’m very happy suddenly I’m freaking out. I’m not sure if its nervousness or the Pre Marriage Syndromes!!! :-p…What do you call this!!!…Does this happen to every bride to be!...
Whatever it is, I feel happy about the excitement, and I’m even happier as the day is getting closer…(And a little weird about the freaking out):-0

To Friends:)

I was the happiest of people during the last few days of my engineering college, it’s not just because the 4 years of engineering came to an end, but also because, like I always mention I was out with a good bunch of friends… Having spent amazing time with them, and carry with me some lovely memories, I couldn’t be happier.
 The past 4 years haven’t been very different too…Though all of us in different cities, we still managed to have a few maddest of times, and Yes added lot more memories…We are all just a phone call away.
Life’s not gonna be the same forever you see…We still are gonna be a phone call away...With all of us married/to be married, things change. It is bound to happen. We are moving places and a few out of country and then managing work, home, family, additional responsibilities, etc etc. We hardly have time to spare for ourselves, and obviously Friends need to be side lined a little...Though just a phone call away maybe at times it might get impossible to keep in touch……Deep inside each one of us would be sulking about this, wishing we had more of “Me time” and more of the maddest times with friends…But we have just the memories left with us to catch up with…
When I fell low, or I’m lonely or I’m very excited I always think of calling up my friends, sometimes one of them and sometimes all in a row….This works for me;It makes me feel better and I’m smiling at the end of the conversation.
Now that I really notice things changing, I get a little worried. No matter how much the change happens, I would still want to call up friends for All the cribbing and other stupid silly reasons any time I want, I would still want all of us to plan for a vacation, would still want all of us to go shopping and act mad on the street, Would still want to walk into your houses at any point of time and I would always want to meet up as often as possible
And Just for you all to know, I’m still gonna plan vacations, pick up all your calls no matter how busy I’m and would be the happiest when you all walk in home JJJJ

Happiest Vacation Ever!!!!!


I feel like it’s been ages since I have opened my Blog. It’s been long for sure. I was on vacation and now back to Pune. With so much happening around I dint really feel like switching on my computer. I did have a lot in mind which I wanted to write, but dint have the time to spare for my blogging. I have to say this was my happiest vacation ever and has put a never ending smile on my face.:-D
My vacation started off with my very long weekend in Bangalore. Being in Bangalore never left better and meeting friends as always was the best. I really really am the happiest when I’m around with my besties. Its like”want to jump and scream” kind of happiness. This time was no different compared to our usual college days, we were cribbing, teasing each other, gossips, blah blah blah and we had “NEWS” as well. Rachna announces her engagement in the middle of the crowded shopping street. And for a few minutes we acted like there was no one else around us, hugging each other, talking at the top of our voice, shooting questions at her( And yeah!,..The very obvious answer we got from her was “I don’t know”), me making a fuss over her engagement dates (how silly!!) and all of us genuinely feeling happy for her:-D…Congratulations on your Engagement rach, we are sooper happy for you.
Since the wedding day is just a few months away I finish off my trousseau shopping in Kanchipuram. I was super excited ,but Trust me buying sarees in a lot is so not easy.  
I finally arrive at coorg for the most awaited part of my vacation, my engagement. Days fly, 8 years did, so did the next few daysJJ…It felt like just another day, there was no different feeing until I had the ring in my finger. Looking at it, Put up a everlasting smile on my face...I’m engaged to the love of my life. I was happy then and I’m happy now. A glance at my ring puts a smile on my face even now (maybe sounds a little silly, but that’s how it is!!! ) .

Europe: Epinal to Paris (Last three days)

It was Friday. I had already made plans for the evening at Paris. After a pretty good day at work I leave to Paris from Epinal. As I reach the Hotel in Paris I see Annabella waiting for me at the receptionJ
I quickly dump my luggage and off we go for our evening plan. We were going to have a picnic at the Eiffel with a few friends of AnnaJ… Anna says it’s the favorite Picnic spot for the Parisians in summer. It definitely looked like their favorite spot. It was crowded. I loved to see the crowd.
It was a nice Picnic. A lot of chatting with a lot of French food and some French wine. It was a perfect evening for the picnic and the crowd there proved how much Parisians loved a picnic at the Eiffel. What I loved was the sparkling Eiffel. As the Clock strikes 10 P.M Eiffel is lit with Sparkling lights and it’s beautiful. It continues to sparkle after every one hour. It’s amazing. I wouldn’t have witnessed this if it was not for the Picnic plans. Anna Thanks for this. I wanted to go up to the Eiffel and Anna offers to join me. Since the elevator was down we had to climb up the stairs. Yes!! I was climbing the Eiffel only to reach the second floor at mid night. Paris looks its best from the top. Lit up Bright and colorful. I was on top of the Eiffel and very excited. JJ A Dream come true for me JJJ
I was alone the next day. It was a bright sunny day. Weather was at its best. Had a lot of site seeing to do. Was hoping I could do some Shopping too. I Start off early with my maps; pick up some yummy pastries from the street and I was going to the Eiffel again. I reach the other end of the Eiffel, did a lot of Photography take a boat ride along the river from the Eiffel and then ride in the metro to a few places, walked along the streets and did quite a lot of shopping too. My day just flew. Thankfully I could see all the places I had in my list.
 Paris does mesmerize you. The Crowded streets, the beautiful souvenir shops, Paintings on the street, the monuments, the food, the best of pastries, the people around felt so new .And all the amazing memories and experience Paris gave me was what I had never expected.
Paris has its own charm, but it reminds you a lot of places back home. It made me feel India is beautiful too; Like ParisJJJ
All I could think when told about Paris was the Eiffel. But now with all the memories it’s not just the Eiffel that I know. I’m glad I know so much more of ParisJJJ
It was the end of my euro trip. I was happy. When you know you are going to be with your own people in a few hours time, you feel even better.
