Saw Marley and Me. It’s an amazingly realistic and simplistic movie that depicts most of the things that happen when you get married, have kids and decide to not continue with your job (oh its also about Marley..the 100 pound doggy who continues to test everyone's patience by acting like the world's most impulsive dog). It chronicles the growth of a couple and the impact their pet has on their family throughout their life. So, coming to the point, seeing Jenny and John..i envisioned what they would have and its really sweet. But it would be sweeter if I had something like that too. Then I would be truly able to understand why this is okay. Maybe not even then but still. :)

Things match in life. You in your head differentiate your thoughts from their ideas and then you find out out they are exactly like yours, basic issues and happy things remain analogous. It shows that cultures don’t matter but the person does. Always pleasant to find someone like minded.
:)

The gurgling feelings inside me are compelling me to think about stuff I don’t wana think about. And then I dream about the same thing. Not done. But atleast I dream. Now. :)
Got my first salary..and it feels great. It’s a small amount but its mine..Mineeeeeeee:)..(and mom & dads).

Muuaah.

Eluding reality

Nothing is permanent. I know that. We know that. So, its almost like I don’t want to feel too much happiness or sorrow by the changing circumstances except that put the latter a few (say, a 1565x10000) notches higher. Now, I would truly like to believe that we should accept what is given to us but a small part of me says that I shouldn’t. I should always try to aim at better..much better. And that is what is written. Calvin’s destiny can’t be all that true. Its definitely puzzling though. Lets seeeeeee.

Internship over..college begun. It’s a cycle that will go on for another year and a half. It’s a pretty long course especially since all my friends are clearing out this year (except the ones doing LL.B..oh you must have got that..:)). And that too, a person told me, second graduation. I was almost on the verge of arguing but then i realised its true. Fine. I better be reciprocated. Like really.:)
E and I went and sat in Stephen’s cafeteria and it’s actually nice. We were there for 2 hours (yeah, my timetable is pretty lenient) and were discussing/bitching about law(yers)..interesting conversation that made and a cup (okay, two) of coffee..neattt!!:). Whinyyy mood.

On a totally different tangent, my hair is long again. :):)

And she tells me to give them all..it won’t be as hard as you make it to be. She gave Economics honors and BA honors exams together (and got a distinction in both which at that time was a massive deal). But someone has got to convince her that she was a genius and her daughter’s (wow, felt real good saying it) not. Like she thinks both of us are equally fair but anyone else who sees us would say, without even thinking twice, that my mom is at least two shades fairer. Her response to everyone being ‘bacchi hai. She goes to college. She’s tanned’. Really? I wish I was like her though..

Finally, the fun weekends have started. Work the whole week and shopping on the weekend. Not shopping shopping but going out and eating AND shopping..okay, I know I ve used this word 4 times already but I don’t shop as much as you think I do. It’s just the very idea that’s exciting. Then watching movies (saw ‘break ke baad’ and ‘band baaja baraat’ both of which were good except the ridiculous ending and case39 which was okishh :)). And sleeeeeeeping. You SEEEEEEEE what I am talking about. Happpppy weekends for a month of which only 10 days are left.

Ankur may get married in 2 to 2.5 years. It’s not tomorrow and we knew it already but the very idea becoming a reality is a little disturbing yet exceedingly pleasant. Woohoo!

Okay, I should get back to researching on the boring Gujarat solar power plant.

Muah.

Ps-I can’t decide who is cuter..Yashvi or Sana..they are at par right now. :)

In reference to pugsie's http://pugslie.blogspot.com/2011/01/universal-problem-me-thinks.html... because we cannot not expect. We are all selfish. We cannot be happy unless we have our demands met. If, for instance, there was a person that we gave everything to..out of our own happiness and that person happily kept taking it..u know somewhere inside..probably a tiny tiny tiny fraction of our mind/heart will Want that person to do something in reciprocation appreciating what we have done. I mean, however callous it may sound, we even expect God to listen to our prayers so how can we not have those expectations from men/women. Now, you’ve either got to be a super human or have a person in your life who fulfills your expectations(out of his own will but Also because you are doing the exact same thing) whatever name you give it..and say that we don’t expect anything from each other when you do and you have those met. There are no selfless good deeds as Joey states. A feeling of gratitude or a big gift(preferably:D)..anything..but we need something. :)

Hum neki kar dariya main daal hi nahi sakte..its humanly impossible. We can do good, show it to people and remember it for future references. But here's hoping that we'll improve:)

:)

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!
