Still doesn't feel like it.....

Hey.... Its been two days since I have been here in US.... there are long lonely roads..... no one to be seen till your sight takes you... no sign of dust.... actually there is nothing at all..... so differerent... and yet it doesn't feel like I am here... maybe because I am staying with a mad bunch, works just fine for me... great actually.......

There is a lot of greenery around, lanes filed by trees on both sides..... the houses are all beautiful... wooden and with thatched roofs.... just like you see in movies..... and everythying is damn quiet..... you don't see people on the roads... just cars.......... kind of a village........

My first day at work was just OK.... nothing major happened.... the only important thing was that we got our icards..... lets c how dis goes..... will keep you posted

My emotions have cancelled each other out!!!

Yup.... dats how m feeling right now.....  nothing...  nothing at all.......
and yet I have this immense turmoil within me..... happiness and excitement at one moment..... nervousness and fear at the other.... deep sadness at another..... I didn't know I was capable of experiencing all of them at once.....  I am not sure my brain (or my heart..  I don't know)  have ever comprehended such tide of emotions together.....

Cooler than a tattoo !!!

Today I got up early morning.... half an hour before my usual time (c'mon thats a big deal for me)... got ready and went out to cast the second vote of my life...


Its actually true... you really do get a sense of purpose... you really do believe that your one vote is going to make all the difference in the world... you really do feel like being part of something worthwhile when you see a trickle pouring out of the polling booths even at the early hour....


But most of all its when you get marked by the poll-ink dot.... I mean its seriously cool.... a sure symbol that you have been a responsible citizen and all..... better than a stupid tattoo anyday.....

M@Mt@ !!!!

Next in line.... demanding a blog entry and that too today itself.... is my kid sister Mamta......
kid as in she is 18 already but will always be a kid types.......  

The last two months of her life have been as unproductive as any...... she has been sitting and eating and watching television endlessly.... dad says she has broken our sofa..... lol.... She has just wrapped up her 12 class board exams.... and the "sword of results" is looming dangerously close.... even we can feel the ocassional shiver.....
But she has found ways to keep busy.... has joined the Shaimak Davar summer workshop.... ironically its finalle programme might be on the same day as her result.... I know she is scared to death... more than she is letting on ... But I also know that she'll do well....

Most typically.... dad has started getting all the courses forms  under the sun.... I remember when he did it for me
, I had an ecomonics honours... and a psychology honours too..... God knows what mamta will get....

Here's hoping the very best in her life.....
And promising many more blog entries to her name :)

A@Rt!

Well... that's pretty much she does.... deck up and pose for the camera.... its in our genes actually... God was kind enough to spare me however....... no seriously, you guys dont understand..... she will be sprawled across the bed studying one moment as lazy as one can imagine..... the very next she'll give you a Miss World smile if the flashlight falls on her face for so much as a second... all laziness forgotten....  she'll even get up and stand next to every breathing creature in the room for a duet pose...... this holds true for the three beautiful fishes we had till last year [they died unfortunately :( ]......

Hmmmm... she has her Chinese finals coming up..... has taken a 2 week leave from her job for that.... but I don't find her schedule any different..... she'll always find time for all the scraps and replies on orkut, the frequent profile pic and album uploads notwithstanding.... I think she has to take time off internet and friends to fit everything else in between.....  sometimes I am actually unsure about what she wants from her life...

All I can say is... Best of luck sis !!!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

As I said.. I really don't know why I started this...m kinda bored... had an awful day at work today... may be that's why.... or may be because this morning I saw my friend Aarti's first blog... herds menatality maybe.... lol.... 

Whatever it may be... point is I do think this can be something long lasting.... atleast thats what my intuition says....I have even planned to post one entry everyday from today.... it can be just this moment... hailstorm today... drizzle tomorrow.... but its worth a shot..... 

P.S. The pic above has nothing to do with this blog.... and so does my profile name... but m a huge fan of the sitcom f.r.i.e.n.d.s. so its got to be here :)
