A New Year and a New Me

-

 

Well! Well! look who is out of hibernation. I know all of you must be shaking your head and tch tching at my sudden appearance. Not believing one bit that I will stick around for long. Believe me, this time I intend to do so.

To tell you the truth, I have been caught up in work and have also been a wee bit lazy about Blogging. On the personal front, life was as chaotic as cyclone Thane making me go blue in the face, followed by long stretches of absolutely not doing anything. I spent that time just catching my breath and trying to resemble an actual Polar bear.

As you can see from my blog I am a total movie buff. I spent a sufficient chunk of  time watching movies in movie theatres that too alone, as my better half is happy as a bear taking a snooze cozied up in bed rather than sitting in front of a screen. What he does not know is that after I die, I am sure to come and haunt him and sing horrible movie songs. The operative word is horrible songs and not sing horribly. Which would anyway be impossible as I am known for my singing abilities.

Sadly, I saw extremely bad movies last year like ‘MOD’, ‘The girl in Yellow Boots’ and ‘Don-2’ which were all packaged in a glitzy wrapping, enticing me to spend my well earned money. I am not even wasting space on describing why I did not like them as it will mean spending my precious time on dissecting the crappiness.

My New year started with a short trip to Mahabaleshwar and meeting up with old friends. Though I wanted to spend 31st night partying hard, the whole idea of drunken men and women puking their guts out was not too enticing.

I am expecting this year to be equally good as the last one and wishing for a thinner me, getting back in touch with my old friends, working better and smarter, blogging regularly, praying for better movies, happiness, world peace and that the world does not end this year.

Here’s wishing you a Bright and Joyous New Year!!! ( I am officially not too late to wish you guys)

How did you celebrate your New Year’s eve?

    That is what I used to do as a bachelor. I even went to the extend of watching 3 movies in a day and that too in three theaters. I even remember the names, Dhund (Dany Danzoppa & Zeenat Aman) Anhonee (Sanjeev Kumar & Leena Chandravarkar) Anamika (again Sanjeev Kumar & Jaya Bhaduri)
    And boy was I confused at the end of the day.
    So your husband does not know what he is missing. Movies are the staple diet of every Indian.

There is no dictionary meaning for eve teasing, Wikepedia describes it as : " Eve teasing   is a   euphemism   used in   India ,   Bangladesh , and   Pakistan   for public   sexual harassment ,   street harassment   or molestation of women by men, with Eve being a reference to the biblical   Eve ." After I moved to UK, I literally felt free, the lack of 'Roadside Romeos' was quite a pleasant change. I do not have to think twice about what I am wearing or how I look in a particular dress. I do not have to keep adjusting my Dupatta or check myself in the mirror many times to see if my dress was transparent or low cut.  There are no catcalls or random comments hurled at me or any other woman walking in the street. All women can actually take a walk without being X-rayed with lusting eyes or lasciviousness grins. Men will not rub against you, grope you or pinch you. You can actually give a smile and say 'good morning' to  a perfect stranger without the

My friend Kautubh  has invited me to write guest posts on his blog. I have written the following post for him. Just posting an excerpt here. You can go and read the complete post on his website ' ekoshapu '. Thanks Kaustubh for giving me this opportunity. You can also go and check his two wonderful blogs ' Cipher ' and ' Swataha '- A Marathi Blog. ______________________________________________________________________ Writing- an Art or Passion? As children our parents try to inculcate in us various hobbies for our development. I remember going to painting, dancing, singing, guitar classes and whatnot. Writing on the other hand was not even a choice. Also writing was left to professional writers or mainly journalists. Things changed after the explosion of Internet throughout the world. Writing an online diary became a hobby for many people at the start of the millennium. This slowly changed to writing Blogs which were not limited to online diaries but have mo

My Experiments with Infertility

How many kids do you have? Arre married for long and no kids? You don’t want kids? It is time you both  started a family. When are you planning to have kids? Planning chodo and now have a child. My husband and I have faced this litany of questions all the years we have been married. Most of the times these questions are asked by family and friends, and at other times by nosy busy bodies who have too much interest in other people’s lives. I had been thinking of writing this post for many days now,but always stopped as I did not know how my family will react to this post. I finally gathered the strength to write the post, for all the people who have been in my place and have had to struggle with the agonising fact that they will never be able to have their own biological child/children. Writing this post has acted as catharsis for me. After 12 years of marriage, I had to face this brutal truth. I had to undergo a battery of tests and procedures over a period of two years which
