Beyond Horizons...

I am a strong believer of new beginnings, changes. It gives you an opportunity to be more, to be stronger, to be BETTER. And here is such new beginning in my life that I would like to share, RISHITA my daughter. Its been 6 months she is around and I feel it was just yesterday that we brought her home. Everyday brings new joy, surprises, challenges and frustrations ;) In last 6 months I have learned things that I never imagined I could/would do in my life. Not to brag much but believe me its not easy to do funny sound(or noise?), get baby to sleep, sing a song. In my case I don't know any baby songs, so here I am the lyricist, musician and singer...vola! I don't do funny faces, just cant do, my better half handles that department ;) We have still not achieved something called 'make baby stop crying' solution, combination of zillion things results in that(including me crying along with sometimes...) Its been really busy(huh...tell me something n...

Ending note from previous entry really worked, hubby is back :) And though I am out of sitcoms, I am not short of TV series. Here are some of the updates... Taken two road trips, one in Diwali where Hubby was invited to my hometown, we also visited Kolhapur. And later to Ganapatipule to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. First one was awesome drive as road is smooth, multi lane highway and memorable as our first long drive together in India. Latter was full of challenges. To start with drive was on single lane, heavy traffic, not so smooth Goa Highway. And considering our journey start time we ended up driving in night on famous NH 17 where there were no milestones of Ganapatipule until 8 KM to our destination. It was only next morning we got to see the place, boy! the view was breathtaking. Wonderful place. Add it to your 'places to visit' Its not only the place we fall in love with but also the local cuisine specially solkadhi :) An amazing start to the new year with lo...

It was back in year 2007 I saw the popular American sitcom 'Friends', fresh out of B-School, had to leave to Bangalore where my first corporate opportunity from campus was waiting. Friend of mine gave me this 3-4 seasons of this sitcom, she was madly in love with it and I couldn't understand why. Out of curiosity started watching it a day before my journey and I could not stop till I finish more than a half season. Thereafter i dint have this question of 'why' about any other sitcom or series for that matter. Friends have been my long running favourite comedy, I have watched every season at least 3 times. Every night after preparing dinner in Bangalore, I used to start random episode and enjoy my dinner.Then off course weekends were for movies. Now that I am in Mumbai and staying with family I have lost luxury of watching of such sitcoms or movie everyday, I have to wait for weekends for this. Over familiarity with friends has made me move to other series like HIMYM...

Being a neighbour of a celebrity? Something I never thought will happen to me. (South Mumbai does not suit me ;)) But it has happened, and cherry on top is, he is one of my favorites. Sachin Tendulkar now has a house in my neighbourhood. Realty developers have got yet another reason to increase property rates in the area. For last 5-7 years rates are being pushed under name of new proposed International Airport. Surprisingly, billionaire cricketer has to take a loan to buy this property. And media openly shares that at least 30% of black money is involved in this deal. Check here As if political drama running in recent times is not enough.... *btw, Its the first b'day for my nephew Smit. Wish him loads of happiness and love in years to come.

Time to let go off many things... My cleansing system gets activated like this multiple times :) I was always thinking that happy things, good things we share/experience will keep giving good feelings along the way. Surprisingly it turns out to be true for consistent context. You can not feel good about things if succeeding encounters turn out to be bad. In recent times I have seen people changing for bad, taking disgrace quite gracefully??, getting amused for obvious things, conveniently being negligent.... Really?Is it that difficult to be good? A great mind once said, keep clearing your baggage time to time, check on things that occupy your mind for good for bad. Maybe its time to leave those goods things also behind if those does not make any sense today. I always keep interesting or funny mail trails that I share with my friends. Sometime even I laugh at myself doing that. But many of those mails still bring smile on my face. There is a purpose to keep bad ones also, it reminds...

True colors...I think comes out in challenging situations. Two interesting assignments in last week amazed me. One was my corporate assignment to know our customers more and another was my cousins as a part of her Art curriculum. Obviously latter one was more interesting. I was asked to visit some of our customers to know how they feel about our products and service. Most of them gave positive feedback about it. Though everyone mentioned about the difference in a way the advertisements are perceived (surprisingly it included our sales team as well!!!!) I understand the markets are changed now, they have become more challenging, competitive. Customers have become smart, choosy. But in the run of winning the customers through media I think sometimes we lose simplicity. My cousin was giving her exams wherein she was asked to paint different objects under categories like Nature, Human, Industry etc. For a natures assignment they were asked to paint a 'Coconut' and a 'Chili...
