At work, i needed to write something on Halloween and so i started reading up about it. i'm supposed to write banner and newsletter copy inducing people to buy flowers on this occasion. Since, i have never celebrated or even seen Halloween celebrations, i wanted to gain thorough knowledge about it to write better. That got me thinking, how much of the actual write-up that is floating around on

Reproduced from Paulo Coelho's blog. No wonder, he is my favourite :)Reading starts from here - When I was young, my parents sent me to a mental institution three times ( 1966, 1967, 1968). The reasons in my medical files are banal. It was said that I was isolated, hostile and miserable at school. I was not crazy but I was rather just a 17-year-old who really wanted to become a writer. Because no

What exactly is living life to the fullest?Is it shopping incessantly even when there is no rhyme or reason?Is it going on eating when the appetite is crying out loud to stop?Or is it listening to the same song every time the headphones are on?Answers anyone?

Just as i open the slides of my window, i see wetness around. Leaves dripping and cars speckled with water droplets. Cyclone-infested rains decided to show up in the middle of November. ?? What's happening... Is there something wrong with nature's health? Or are they filling up the deficit of this year's rainfall a little late. It is not really a pleasant feeling neither is it saddening. Just

i keep preaching and thinking that one should accept people just the way they are. i believe in it strongly. i like to think and feel that i practice it.Realised though that as much as i want and expect people to accept me just as i am, i don't practice the same. From here and now, i shall accept one and all, as they are. Just upgrade self. :)

i have always had this complaint and regret with myself that i am not adventurous enough. i don't enjoy my freedom fully. My idea of adventure was - doing things that are unnatural of me. Some things that i have never tried before and essentially those that come with a feeling of liberation. And then suddenly i realised that i've been doing and have done quite a few 'different' things. Yesterday,

i have been taking the car to work since a few days. My office is in an industrial estate where super rich textile mill owners, printing presses, studios and the likes abound. It is a task to find parking space so I leave early from home. There are watchmen at various places to guide and stop you from parking at an inappropriate place.

Just fascinated and amazed at the use of smileys, so often and so varied. Some of the situations, i observe they being used, are:1. First - time conversations where you want to create a comfort level.2. IM conversations regarding work in office.3. When you want to get your work done.4. When you want to say something firmly without sounding strict.5. When you find yourself smiling in the middle of

It's been a long time since i've written. Maybe that has got to do with J's weddingi was busy, yes. But happy too. All of us. There was enthusiasm, subdued though. And the wedding, it was fast forwarded. Before we could think, it got over. But at the end of it all, there was a sense of satisfaction and a fulfilling completion or rather a beautiful beginning. :)

Sonal, my office friend, was reading a book - The White Tiger, by Aravind Adiga, with deep interest. i was curious, 'cos i've never seen her so engrossed in book reading. So, i asked her about it and what she said was an insight.She had gone to an apparel shop across the road. The shop is called 'Flirt & Flaunt'. She found the stuff interesting and bought a few things. What the shop owner did is

A simple service, delivered with earnestness and wholesomeness can garner accolades and stickiness with the brand. That's how my experience with Tata Sky was.

Yes, you can stay at your seat in the theatre to watch Delhi 6. It may not be a must-watch, but it is a nice movie. Contrary to what critics suggested, it does not fall flat. The central message of the movie is heartwarming and something that we tend to have forgotten in these supposedly troubled times. Look within and remove the black that is inside you. Look at yourself in the mirror and see if

On the 26th of Jan, i had the best start to my day in a long time.Though i got up at 0430 hours, i was looking forward to the events that were about to unfold. i left home at 0535 and was late as planned by Pa. i was driving fast and was expecting to reach Gateway of India in half an hour but was amazed to find traffic, yes traffic, at Sion and we were stuck for a good 20 minutes.

Yes!!!!!!Ladies & Gents, i have finally got myself a new phone. i bid farewell to my ancient, archaic phone (Nokia 2300) the evening of 3rd Jan. 2009. The old phone had given me company for 5 odd years. Gifted to me by Pa afer my post graduation, this phone was the first phone i ever owned. After loyal service for so many

It is the last day of 2008. So, what's the big deal! Of course, it is a big deal. i'll be spending the day at home with my books, movies and food for company :)Ok, let me list down a few of the things i am grateful about, a few of the high points and highlights of 2008 - 1. Standing on my own two feet :)2. Joined gym 3. Had a fantastic family get-together at Solapur4. Saw a new place - Aamby

Yesterday i saw Vidya Balan at the Crossword store at Imax theater.

Phew!With yesterday's grand wedding through, the row of important weddings (where you got to not just attend, but stay back till late and wear outfits that show that you are closely related) is done. All the weddings were from the maternal side, (mama's daughter, masi's daughter/son) so met pretty much the same people. So, dresses also couldn't be repeated, which was a good thing for me :) So,

(Scorned)(Furious)(Provoked)!It is time now to attack.Too much of letting them walk all over us.Too bad dear! Now it is your time to pay and suffer.And a sincere request and am sure and thankful to you Almighty for making them suffer. Let them know what it means to punch somebody where it hurts the most. And again and again. Truly enough! i pray and consciously and truly want them to be pained.

Jerry Mcguire is one of my favourite movies. Tom Cruise plays the title role. Initially, i had seen the movie only for him but then i read up about the mission statement that Jerry makes in the 13th Annual meet. That pricked a few of the issues that i feel and face myself, although in a different light. Some excerpts (found on the web) i like in Jerry McGuire's MISSION STATEMENT, The things we

There couldn't be a better time to have this astronomically novel night. To me, it's like a reassurance that everything's gonna be okay! Yesterday late evening while returning back from work, a lady in the train was telling her kids on the phone to look at the sky to check out the moon. i thought it must be something silly or oh-this! kind. But just as i stepped out of the station, i looked up.

Mumbai is reeling under the aftermath of the recent terror attacks. And it is not a very novel or a new happening. Mumbai and places world over have experienced this in the last decade. Can barely understand the agony and pain of those who experienced it first-hand. Something somewhere is going seriously wrong. And it needs to be corrected and real soon. So much hatred, so much recklessness, so

The picture as it happened -At Kurla, 2 guys stepped into the 1st Class ladies compartment. They were wearing khaki pants, holding dandas but wearing casual shirts. At first, the ladies didn't notice or maybe they thought these are security guys. But 1 woman while she was talking on the

Earlier i had my doubts, i even thought, it was silly, how can one be happy after spending one's own hard earned money. But the realisation dawned upon me last night and it is the absolute fact. 'Shopping' can unfalteringly lift my spirits, dodge with my hunger pangs and is the official feel-good factor of my life. Yesterday was a shopping bonanza day. With 5 major weddings coming up in

Lonavala is such an exciting place now. All because of Aamby Valley. It is such a beautiful place. The ride to Aamby Valley was ghatwala, so was feeling a little giddy.

i just came back after watching the movie 'Kidnap'. The kid Imraan Khan is the only saviour in the film. Otherwise it is all nap. The plot is quite interesting but the treatment very shallow and manipulative. Manipulative because the team has used all the tactics to make the film a money minting instrument. Skimpy clothes, heroine coming out of the sea in a bikini and other such unwanted things

Yes, i saw the movie and cannot keep my opinion about the movie to myself. It has to be expressed. Overall impressive movie involving a contemporary style of filmmaking. The Pluses -+ Farhan Akhtar is brilliant. (methinks tis the first time a director has turned actor. His credibility in acting too shows. Brilliance can be moulded in any art) + Prachi Desai is a surprise package. (dear, move away
