I dont remember my tricycle days , i dont remember if i even had a tricycle. but i surely remember how i learnt riding a bicycle . My dad or grandpa running behind me .. trying to hold the cycle before i would fall.. Being very clse to my school , my school days were spent walking betwen school and home. Thanks to Priya , who used to walk with me from school till park Sheraton Hotel pulling her cycle along .

I learnt riding a tvs 50 and scooty. But never got even a learner's license.
Studied in a residentail college . Enjoyed walking to class from hostel with bunch of friends. Our colege was on a small hill. So it was difficult to ride a cycle . Our professors or the autos leaving the campus used to drop us at the shopping center just below that small hill.

After college during tarining period at mumbai , we had office bus picking us up from Belapur and drop us at Vashi and dump us back in Belapur after 8 pm.

Close to 3 years since i started my professionsla life. Time seems to have moved so fast. Used to stare at each car .. especially saloon types and wonder when I would own one . Long back some astrolger predicted that i would marry a person who will have a four wheeler ..Kiran had a zen even before marraige. :-) ( Now I have started bellieving in Astrology ..hehehhee)

I just love my seat and enjoy back seat ( well its side seat ) driving ..
Hoping to start driving classes soon ..

It Goes on..

This morning , on the way to office , I heard a song ..

"Tension Vension kyun lethi hai jaane jaana ..
Chaar din ki zindagi hai muskuraana ..."

These lyrics seems to have infested me.. I have been smiling the whole day..

This song reminds me of Robert frost's words..

In three words I can
Sum up everything
I've learned about life..
It Goes on..

fattening of the calf

Have very less work today ..
more of analysis of existing mappings.

Expecting a bigger junk of work in January ....
Seems Client's budget doesnt have room for new projects this year ...
So pretty free now ..
We are being encouraged to arrange for new year team competitions and parties.

I wonder if this is the customary 'fattening of the calf' before slaughtering it.

FISH! For life

I was reading a book " FISH! For life ". Its really worth reading ..
Below given are some lines taken from this book:

We all long for a primary relaionship that lifts us up in a way thats not possible alone. We want to create in our lifes a two that is bigger than one plus one. there is a special form of happiness that can be experienced only as two. We often think about our partners in the following way:

- someone with whom to share life's little treasures : a sunet , a child's fragile first step , or a poem.
- A shoulder to cry on when life overwhelms us , and a voice to remind us of positive futures possible in times of doubt
- A best friend
- Someone who knows us, warts and all , and still loves us.
- A lover with whom sex is improtanat part - but only a part - of intimacy
- A ready hug

This is a sequel of the book " The FISH" .
I would say ...one should read these two books during their lifetime.

Kiran and me  

I am blessed

Early this morning .. I was wondering about how blessed I am ..
And I am blessed ..
.. coz I have the most caring and the most handsome husband.
.. coz I will be having a cute little baby in another 3 months.
.. coz I have a whole lot of people to love and to love me.
.. coz I have a great husband , who would get me anything I ask for, take me for
two international honeymoon trips in a span of 7 months
.. coz I have nice job with almost no work to do ,where I get to read and write
blogs. And also get paid once in a month.
.. Coz I am sane enough to realize that I am blessed.
