Lagi aaj saawan ki phir woh jhadi hain...


I decided to pen my words on the rain drops of Bangalore the moment I stepped out of my house today. I always refer to drenching in ran as a tribute to Yash Raj films, or probably the Bollywood theme... If you are an ardent fan of Bollywood, most of the cutting edge scenes takes place in the rain..the fights, the break up, the proposals, the kissing sequence too :).

I am a Mysorean at heart, but the career and family vows have tied me down to Bengaluru. I rarely enjoy the climate of Bengaluru and the rain is one such moment. Though there has been cases where the Bangalore rain has left the city havoc, but by God's grace it has not reached to a level of pressing a panic button like in the cases of Mumbai rains. Said and done back to the drizzling, romantic, enduring, nostalgic rain!!!!

Getting drenched in the rain is always fun since childhood days, especially if you have the company of your friends to join you. It was in Bangalore back in 90's when I had actually enjoyed and played in the rain with my cousins. Getting drenched always makes you crave for the garma garam pakodas and bajjis, but I prefer Hot Chocolate or a yummy spice Bhutta, especially when you order the vendor to make it spicy with lots of green chilly masala and lime..yum!!!. I have even enjoyed the most romantic days in the rain on a bike, inspired by RHTDM songs nevertheless thanks to my the then Boyfriend(And present Husband) for his CBZ rides to Srirangapatna near Mysore.

Rainy days are always recommended to rekindle your love and relationship, be it having an Ice cream with your sibling, or a spicy pani puri and bhutta with your friends, cuddling inside the blanket with your favourite novel or just sipping Hot coffee with your family and the best thing is to stand under a tree hand in hand with the love of your life!!

I bet all of us have tried most of the things mentioned above, but personally the rain always makes me go nostalgic, its like being in a trance and love every bit of life, it always brings a smile on my face irrespective of the current happenings of the world, and I just say "Life hai yaar, take it easy"

Love Actually....

Its been a while since I started all over again on my prem kahani, however I still wish to pen it and publish the same some day. So all you guys who know will know the story below, memories are always cherished better when they are documented. "Ek Ladki thi deewani se, ek ladke pe woh marthi thi", very filmi but every girl dreams of having a love which resembles Yash Chopra movies for sure. I too dreamt, day and night, comparing every guy in the school and judging his qualities against the mushy romantic bollywood heroes. I even had a number of crushes, for a sole reason that either their hairstyle/life style/dressing sense/bike/accent matched one of the heroes. For example, a guy in 7th had Akshay Kumar looks so he was flirt worthy(Not that I flirted with him!!), a guy in High School resembled Vivan Bhatia and another one he wore glasses which Hrithik wore in Kaho naa pyar hai! But above a best friend is someone who you always look out for, So I too had one during my schoo

Floating Thoughts...

There are many instances which we want to revisit in Life. We do that by recalling memories, the same instances brings smile, tears & a satisfaction over what you have lived. In the journey of life, you make acquaintances, friendship, relationship, love, commitment & sacrifices, need not be in the same order though. But being an Arian, I always cherish the "Me" time, time with self. Introspection, just to ponder over thoughts which has been disturbing for a while. I have always been termed as selfish, I accept it with arrogance. Aren't we all the same. We need right people at the right time. I call few when I am low, whom I might never call to share the greatest joy (For joy we just look to the person next to us because no one regrets being a part of it). I do the same. On every yearly occasion, like New Year, Birthdays, Valentines Day, Anniversary I look back over the past and wonder how I have improved. Have I learnt the lesson of being dependent on people

Give it all

This post is very close to my heart. Initially I thought I should write about us, about women, about appreciating being a woman! However every time I post a pic or a staus, many like them, few comment on them and few even text me to say they are happy for me and  how perfect my life is. Well sorry to burst the bubble, my life has never been perfect. Yes, I have been on exotic holidays, moved abroad, dress up everyday as if I am will be walking on the ramp any moment. But, its not hunky dory life. Apart from my childhood, which I would say was no less than nightmares at times, it contributed to what I am today. No, I wouldn't discuss my trauma and attribute everything to it and cry my heart out. My hardship days as a kid was a reason I wanted to be a strong headed woman, yes I did attempt and I am still not sure if I ever could be tagged under that title. Before you start pitying, I should tell you guys that majority of my friends have been through a phase which would be term
