All by Myself

For some time now I haven’t really been feeling great to be alone…At least I dint wanna be alone for one whole weekend...It’s a little weird though, cuz sometime back I was desperately looking out for space and time to be alone…And now, when I dint want to be alone I had one whole weekend all for myself and I hated it…

 Hanging out, going to movies and shopping was not in my list for the weekend as I’m completely Broke and am religiously waiting for my salary…Obviously, My only choice was staying back at home. I did spoil my mood being angry and sad, but before my weekend was completely spoilt I realized I was being stupid and made some good out of it as well…

 I was either on the couch watching TV or on my bed reading” The secret of the Nagas” (which I’m done with and can’t wait to read its sequel), and lots of cooking to pamper my Pallets JJJ(which is the good part I was talking about)

My cooking mood saved my gloomy weekendJJ…My very first attempt to make White sauce Macaroni’s turned out to be amazing... I love white sauce pastas and now I have been greedily craving more and more for it JJ, My Second Big dish was Chicken Biriyani, my second attempt to make Chicken Biriyani and it was so much better than the first time I made, which also Pleased my taste budsJJ- Staying alone cost me as well-over ate the excess Biriyani I made KK…though Overeating din’t really bother me much. The rest of my Morsels were Rice and Roti with Chichen Curry, which was my third big dish for the weekend. I loved the Curd, Milk and tomato Puree Marinated Chicken Curry...

Somehow everything I cooked just turned out to be perfect. Food changes my mood just like thatJJ, and I must say I was pretty pleased with myself in fact proud of my cooking JJJ…

What I still hate about the weekend is I was all by myself, I wish I could treat someone with my cooking…….Still a little disappointed KK





White Sauce Pasta:-)



Biriyani-(a bad pic:-p)..it actually looked much better

The Marriage concept?!!... And the GOOD news :-)

Don’t you think the whole marriage concept has become more complicated and more competitive (Should I say that??)…

I have Often been hearing of girls and boys being rejected for the silliest reason ever and I sometimes wonder if people look for a life partner or just need another person at home with the same profession…

The first criteria for marriage these days has been the same profession, maybe it’s true that its easier for people to understand their professional life but there is nothing Like it’s impossible for someone to survive with a person of different profession (People have been projecting it like it’s impossible and lot of times we really tend to believe the possible being impossible) ….An engineer wants to have an engineer bride, Reason: Normal graduates will never understand their work life style… I want to rubbish this concept and say, a normal human being can understand things and if the person does not there is always an option of giving explanation.

 A gal with a career in medicine has to marry a doctor; else she has no life…really??!!...If one marriage doesn’t work out doesn’t mean every marriage with different professions don’t work out…

And then there are people saying things like, “don’t ever marry a guy from the army, you have no life,  blah blah blah”…that’s  another talked about topic which I hate the most…Don’t you think it’s a “proud thing” to marry the men in the army?!!..I definitely think so…

There are boys who wants to marry engineers with the same specialization as his,  wants a gal who works in the same company as his with the same profession( more customized)… of course all of this should be arranged marriages with all the horoscopes being matched and with criteria’s like the girl being fair , tall and pretty……And then there are girls who want boys with a minimum fixed high end annual income with all the gaadi, ghar etc etc… and again he should not be more then 27 years old, the tall good looking criteria holds good here too…

No offence to people who expect this, sure its each ones individuals interest, likes and perceptions and Maybe, I have nothing to do with that...But, it bothers me, why do we expect customization in everything …

There are Incidents where girls are being rejected because she has Pimple in her face, She is too short, She is dark and maybe more embarrassing lame reasons...And the boys being rejected for bad dressing sense/ for not wearing branded clothes, reading books of regional languages and more silly reasons…

I have always believed the concept of “marriages are made in heaven” and it has nothing to do with the profession, cast and whatever… All I feel is the minute you see a person made for you, you will know it…May be it might take time and you will need to meet so many gals/ boys for this...But when it comes to rejection please reject the person with respect rather than giving lame reason like pimple on the face , the complexion etc..

And According to me maybe the professional interest should slightly take a back step when it comes to marriage.

With All the Cribbing I don’t wanna forget about the GOOD NEWSJJ... It’s about our next in the Who’s next list...JJ..Prajna Rai...This time I din’t miss a heartbeat, I was prepared for a surprise unlike the last two times, but the very soon to be bride is surprised herself JJJJ…I could feel the confused and Panicked Prajna when she said” I’m engaged and It all happened so fast”JJJJ……But like always, I guess It’s a part of being engaged feelingJJJ..Congratulations prajna...Happy for you and I can’t wait to see you as a brideJ…..Wish you all the happiness in the world and hope you always remain crazyJJ…..Love you always Praj JJJJJJ

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:-)
