:)

Only 17+1 months to go..happppppppppppy new year all. Hope you have a very healthy and thus a happy 2011. Partaaaaaaaay! :)
Love to all!:)

living the dream!

My current lil sweet dream. Being delegated work, finishing it..giving it back to the associates..either getting a ‘good’ or very bluntly told to re-search the given topic..it’s so much fun. I love it. Its tiring and the topics given are often boring but the kick after doing it is what I am talking about. Niceeeee!:)

merrrrrry!!

I truly understand why it gives those Master chef contestants such immense pleasure to cook in front of and for Adriano Zumbo and Maggie Beer or other great Australian chefs...and why Amitabh Bacchan or Marlon Brando or such accomplished actors can easily overwhelm the others or why Sachin Tendulkar is treated like God by cricketers or fervent cricket followers..Or why a person working in a law firm, be it an associate or a partner can intimidate me...and imagine standing in front of Fali.S. Nariman or H.S.Kapadia, I will be enthralled and speechless. These are personalities that we all aspire to be, in our own respective fields and it’s as if you wana absorb each word they say or every action they do. Moreover, it’s not that you feel inferior in front of them but you know that they are superior to you and hence the respect. Can’t wait to get placed in a law firm and be pleasantly intimating to someone...it will be fun.:)

Its Christmas time...lala lalaa..It’s soo exciting. The festive spirit is here. Especially now that the exams are over and I have nothing to do except work and marriage stuff and classes...oh, I sound busy but it’s all good. Any thing seems better, so much better than exam time. Office feels like Santa Clause’s home..decorated and filled with mirth. Merry Christmas you all. Have a lovely day and a delightful year ahead...and party...and hope you get all the materialistic and also the good non-materialistic things you desire. Enjoyyyyyy.:):)

Yay!

Ps- All the men in my office are such eye candies..ahh!

family fun!

Family parties are so so so much fun. Had one at my place yesterday. Talking to my pretty bhabis and brothers and playing with their adooooooorable kids, dancing (Sheila out-did munni..but the oldies like munni more..everyone has their choices now..dont they?;)), barbecue, bon fire, listening to my cousin who’s getting married and her shopping expeditions. She asked her to-be-husband for a solitaire..the man wasn't so happy about that from what i heard. But c'mon, she has a right to demand the ring shes gonna wear on her finger the rest of her life. Go didi. :) And awesome food. My dad cooks the best mutton ever. Everybody enjoyed and sang songs. Typical hum aapke hai kaun scene except that some of my cousins were a little high;). My relatives are pretty awesome...very few opportunities to realize that. Good, fabulous is a more fitting word, time.
:)

boys are stupid, throw stones at them!:)

First things first..this line cracks me up.

Finally I ve started believing in this statement...or at least I know I believe in it. What’s with these atrocious half baked commitments like I will love you forever until I find someone else or unless I am caught cheating (here, really hoping that Emotional Atyachaar is not true and people are only acting for money) or till my mom says she doesn’t like the way you look. And I am not even talking of married men here. Don’t commit no? That’s wayyyyyyyy better and brazenly speaking, humane, than backing off later. Boys are meanies! I might be in a funny mood but i am serious.

One week seems like an entire month when exams get postponed.

My blog name is strawberryswati..that's kiddish for even a first year graduation student(that’s when I began writing) and posted by silly billy..i mean really? So embarrassed. In my defense I really liked strawberries and strawberry shake that time..i still somewhat do except that now I find it too sugary. And silly billy..lets just act that someone else made the account for me, shall we?:)

...and nothing.

Count exams for ruining the fun part of studying. It makes everything something you havta do rather than something you want to do and that sucks. Like I was studying consti (my apparent favorite subject) and it’s become, politely put, not nice. And like only 2 holidays for limitation and arbitration (which btw is the worse subject, no, it’s not hard but so sinfully boring and has too many sections to remember and its not even related but is the same paper..wth?) and that’s like giving me palpitations. 2 days, I mean that’s not even enough for revision forget learning..oh God, what will I do. Dormant life that I have, the only thing that is seemingly good is the prospect of sleeping after finishing the small portion of course that I have to do. blah!

:)

Driving in the rain, with the best person ever (mum..duh). Laughing and talking and singing songs.
Ankur having a holiday and taking my case the whole day. And my attempt to end it by throwing a bottle cap-ful of water on him and both of us laughing about it for 10 minutes.
Talking to my best friend and giggling about random non-funny but hilarious things :D
Mum dad returning from a wedding and discussing everything and everyone. So much fun.
These are the things i know i will miss when i don't have them. Or have less of.
These are the moments that make life beautiful. Exams, on the contrary, don’t!

I ve realized that I don’t get dreams anymore. I used to have them everyday 7-8 months back but nothing now. I don’t actually know if that’s a good thing or bad but does that mean there is nothing relevant enough in my conscious to dream about in my sub-conscious to get any negative or positive feeling towards such .But I did dream about discussing the color of my suit with my mom.:) Shopping then huh?:)

I am scared about my exams, it’s always nerve-wracking to study for them but this time I am actually frightened...probably I din give my last sem exams so I feel like I have studied less than everyone else. Weird...right?

Also, prioritize. Prioritize issues in life(you will often realise that you're worrying about the wrong things) and make sure they come after acknowledgment of the huge list of happy things you have gotten without much inconvenience. The issues will seem paltry.

In life...we all try to win...happiness, love, and luck? trying to control everything cuz we believe it’s our game and things will happen the way we want it (and get totally flustered if we lose), totally oblivious to the presence of someone out there who makes us walk on the path he feels is the best and no doubt, we will face adversities but it will be worth it. We ought to do what we can do with the best intentions and let God take care of us while we follow his way of life. Ask him/her to give us more strength to face troubles and more humility to relish success(ie.reward for effort) than making life simpler cuz the former might actually happen:)

Its the wedding season..4 people i know getting married. Sigh. Happy times.

:)

This year, this Diwali , I would truly like to thank God for ending some horrible things literally (or as Ted says figuratively)and metaphorically..
and for starting with some new relationships/friendships. The worst that was the Worst is past. Present is good.

ps-diwali cards party-awesome.

My piece of mind..going to be snatched away by exams.
I can feel them intruding in my leisurely enjoyable studying sessions.

ps-happy diwali celebrations:)

cynic speaks..

Attitude redefined for love-

"I can very well take care of myself
I want a person to prove that I can’t..”

Got this forward..abysmal…isn’t it? I mean had it said that the person needs to prove that he/she can take care of me TOO..that would still have been okay. But by proving us incapable or feeble and coming into the picture as the oh-so-important hero(heroine) figure is just ridiculous. Now, I feel that this is the young age of 22 something when we can actually let go of people if they don’t match our standards. Like you know, try them out(not flippantly, ofcourse..you always look for something good) and if it doesn’t work out..you know that it wasnt worth it. You don’t have to suffer and stick on only cuz you are in the habit of someone or it would be too hard to let go…it isn’t. Like a friend was saying that she needs that one person cuz she wants to be pampered...or talk to someone everyday said another. Its not supposed to be this random...you know..its supposed to be meaningful.

After marriage..we ll havta adjust and readjust a lot..thats a given. So right now, lets wait and wait some more and look for a person who is willing to adjust too. And if it’s an arranged match..oh, then let’s hope for the best.

:)

Facebook application says..that God says..that all is well. All is going according to plan. Trust that there is a bigger picture and life is unfolding exactly as it should.

Everything created by God is perfect, so are you. Just accept the glory of your being as it is.

you know what..Precisely!!!!!!:):):):)

spent 3 hours in fabindia...1.5 in the hailstorm..all wet and cold..then another in the metro wet and cold still..finally reached home and now i feel lonely. I miss mum dad and ankur:(..blah!

So what if i am
#demanding
#obsessive to the extent of being crazy about people calling(or not calling) me
#flip out if i don get answers to my(important) texts sent to relevant people
#fussy about food
#fussy about everything in general
#temperamental..
#greedy

And so what if i
#love sleeping...LOVE it..anytime, my house:)..some(my family) may call me lazy.
#profusely love shopping..i actually run from one store to another looking for something to buy.
#dont like having small talks with people..i actually try to avoid meeting people cuz i will havta talk to them..random ones i mean:p
#judge strangers according to the clothes they wear or their footwear (so does ankur..except that he doesnt) but no..i am not callous..its just a small joke thing..nothing serious.
#dont like doing voluntary work..give me money or recognition or a certificate..and the works done.
#jump to my own conclusions unless explained otherwise.
#did household chores when i was young..but not now..no no NO! which is actually the opposite of what it should be like but..

i still think i am like a good(awesome:P) person. Afterall 'Self love is the greatest of all flatteres'. I have it in abundance:)

and yeah yeah..i will try to improve!

hope:)

"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."-The Shawshank Redemption.

Finally finally saw the movie. Hope is an excellent thing..like a small light bulb inside you, flickering maybe but the only one thing in those dark moments that gives you the power to triumph over any hardship whatsoever. Maybe that is why i din like Anjaana Anjaani..they(RK and PC's characters) gave up..what the doctor tells RK in the movie is correct..a heart break or a financial loss or whatever and here she's committing suicide. Make your life better than succumbing to it. But they did live in the end..found reasons..good for them:)

Anyway..

"The funny thing is, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook.":)..loved the movie.

Orange, yellow and purple flowers look so good together..even though its a bad combination in general..i look at it everytime i come on my blog page..pretty pretty i tell you.

sachaaaaaaa pyaaaar!

What's this concept of 'sacha pyaar'..that is supposed to happen once. I dont think its real. You can love anybody..anybody who is not non-attractive, likes(oops..loves..blah) you and meets your expectations but as soon as the same person disappoints you..poof..the love's gone. its not this easy but a lot depens on what you tell yourself..(i listen to me).

Now either we say it too too quickly or its this age or we assume it to be love what at the most is infatuation(if you believe the theory of one true love holds true). What exists is friendship and likeness. If you truly like a person And vice versa, it always remains no matter what and there are chances of THAT growing into something beautiful. It moves beyond your ego and mine. But sadly, not every rather a very few infatuations have that element. So lets give it a two year break and talk about the so-called love when it could actually mature into something long lasting..till then, i will only like you or..not!:):)

happy day..CWG.

Ohh..the cwg was soo much fun. i was telling a friend that i don't watch all the events on tv cuz i am not interested in wrestling or weightlifting of any sort..and i went to watch boxing. how inconsistent, you may think but we we went cuz we had no other option, we didnt wana postpone meeting and din wana spend 1000 bucks on swimming tickets..anyway, the seats weren't available. so, the games..were really funny. not the games games..cuz that was serious but like sitting there spotting things we cud make fun of and laughing on our own absurd jokes:)..

Ok, so there was this parent there telling his kids what they didnt know. Now when Kiribati team came up..they were referred to as KIR on the score board..the son(youngest) tells his dad.."look, kiribati..such an unusual name"..to which the father replies.."its Not kiribati abc, its Kazakhistan" and he was serious.

During some boring match between botswana and malaysia we decided that we are going to cheer for India cuz India's match on the last slot and were Boredddddd..now R, A, E and I were supposed to say that together..so we counted 3 and E(only) goes like "jeetega bhai jeetega India jeetega" and it was one of those moments in between when the entire stadium goes unusually quiet and here is E bawling at the top of her voice and everybody staring at her.

The seats were particularly small and we were wondering how a heavy man wud fit into one of these and the very same minute we saw a man weighing 300 kg or more sitting on 3.5 chairs..and we burst out laughing. no offence to the guy but that was hilarious.

Irritating the cwg desk person for passes for swimming or vijender singhs match was too entertaining..for us.

Even talking about how unexciting the matches were (like 15 matches..for 15 minutes each..of teams we hadn't even heard of and din care about) and how exhausted we were was amusing.

But when India came..feel aa gayi..the entire stadium was cheering and applauding him..and obviously, he won:).
cheery on the cake..free and comfortable metro ride home cuz of the cwg ticket and the women's coach.. thats what i call, a day well spent.:):)

Some people just dont change..when circumstances change, your equation with them alters but they stay as awesomely levelheaded as always..like an innate quality..respect for their goodness:):)
I value the consistency.

walky:)

Cycling at home is tedious..walking has been successfully resumed..yay!!! that fun feel is still there and its better cuz of the gap..had forgotten how much i enjoyed it..yay yay!!!

During my interviews after i finish law..when asked about my favorite subject(which is the most frequently asked question)..i am so gonna say constitutional law..so interesting..repromulgation of ordinances, Jaya Bacchan's office of profit, Jayalalitha incompetency to become the CM of Tamil Nadu, freedom given by the judiciary to the legeslative..etc etc..NICE!

rain..

rain-rain-rain:):):):):)

its sooooooo perfect..

Godly-God

I have issues with him, I complain to him, plead to him, ask him for stuff, thank him for the same, ask him for more and thank him again, if I don’t get something..i compromise cuz he must be knowing what good it holds for me, I talk to (not with) him every night..not expecting a reply but just hoping that he is listening..I share the strangest yet a truly exceptional relationship with God.

He puts you through the most arduous tests but gives you enough strength to endure them and come out braver..undaunted condition being you have the will to be that. Sometimes his actions seems totally inexplicable but you just gotta have faith that there must be something good..he is afterall the first resort as well as the last.

The great almighty..someone up there taking care of us(me)..i love you!!!

Ps-being strong is so much cooler than you know, not being strong:)..oh, the metro yellow line..pure and absolute bliss..and the coolest thing ever!!:):):)

anky-panky

I love ankur..really really really love him...not cuz he is my bro and i havta but cuz he is a super awesome person...may God bless him.
and may he never read this post..i am telling you..next time he moves somewhere away from home..i am tagging along as his luggage.:)

Whether a governor or the president can exercise his discretion over the removal or appointments of members of the subordinate judicial services personally or can he do so only on the aid and advice of his Council of Ministers?

Whether H.D.Deve Gowda was correctly appointed the PM when he was not a member of either house of parliament..can the 6 month window that was given to him to be elected as a member of the parliament be used by him again and again..like if at 5 months and 29 days he resigns for 1 day, would those 6 months be reinstituted?

Kehar singh, Beant Singh and Satwant Singh..their successful conspiracy to assassinate Indira Gandhi(motivated by Operation bluestar)..kehar singhs plea to the SC that he wasnt granted a personal hearing when his case had gone to the President for pardon being dismissed..it was held that the manner of consideration of the petition lies within the discretion of the President, and it is for him to decide how best he can acquaint himself with all the information that is necessary for its proper and effective disposal...etc etc.

And I thought I didn’t like constitutional Law!!!!..these are things I had some vague idea about (the first two issues…not even that) but now I am studying them and it is all soooooo intriguing. I mean reading the cases can be a pain but its super interesting to hear my teacher go on and on about it..she knows so much and her classroom discussions are not limited to the syllabus and that’s the best part.


i like it.

A new beginning...

I need to be(actually am) self-centred/involved cuz no one can possibly want me as happy as i do(except my family..duh)..so, i do as i want so as to keep me happppppppppiiiiieeeeeeeeee. Afterall, it is all about my happiness..you might not accept it but its the same for you too...

ps-:)
