A year just went by...


July 2009… It has been an year of my dear dear Grandma’s departure to the abode of GOD…and I m missing her since day 1…

I had been with her since my birth…and have always experienced her as a power packed personality I must say…

Let me tell you friends…she, I believe, was ahead of her times…times when parents never sent their girls to schools, she studied…times when single mothers couldn’t manage households, she did it with the best upbringing of her kids…times when love marriages where considered not that good, she allowed two successful wedlock in the family…such was her strong, exuberant persona…I bet it’s coz of her we are with the time at least…

On a personal note…I shared a mixed relation with her…some real sweet memories down the lane…I always had kinda small clashes with her…the most annoying thing which she did was watching those daily soaps…and then I played my part of making remarks on each character and the series…which in turn annoyed her…bingo!!!...and the most loving thing was when she cooked something for us when the meal at home was not which I liked…n the best times I had with her was the night…when I slept besides her, holding her and wishing she never went away from me…

Her well-being was something she could put shame to many…I bet at the age of 81 anyone has teeth as strong as she did…but seeing her during the last few days of life…was painful…I was in Mangalore for MEDICON when her condition deteriorated…coming back, the first thing I did was 2 go to her…with the first glimpse of her plight…I couldn’t control but cry…the only memory splashed into my thoughts was that of holding her during nights and never wanting to let her go…and I really wanted her with me…for that support, for that blessings during important events, for those early waking up, for that affection she had for us, kids…

She’s no more now…still I have a very strong feeling…that she’s there with me…hoping for the best for me…showering her blessings from above…and telling the Almighty to take care of her kids…and it’s surely her love that’s keeping and will keep her alive in my heart forever and ever…

Love You DADIMA eternally…

The 'First' Time!

  Unlike these usual days around usual people, we end up finding and fiddling up for someone special on a bright sunny day. Oh well, may be on just another day. You may never notice for long and that day will probably the BEST day of your life. Isn’t it funny that this one flick of your hair and the very way you flip them back can get your heartbeat to rise? Charming and attractive as it sounds, when reciprocated back, it just piles up a lot of smiles unbound. Quirky and unconventional it is when you silently exchange glances, letting those eyes talk around. In a group of people when you switch over your hands to catch hold of some wanted attention, sassy and amusing it is. When without saying a word, you tend to divert that ONE person, oh boy, there’s something surely going on! Chirped up and kinky things go on, you just go down the flow and things move on. Given a chance and you hold hands, within seconds you just drift apart. Unsure on mind but sure at heart, you know it f

An Art of Being Apart

Oh the pain of this distance! It keeps you apart but strengthens your soul! Not many can understand this trouble and I hope not many are going through it. Distances make you grow fond, but at the cost of that one thing, distance. Well the story goes; I fell in love with this amazing amazing man who incidentally stays miles away. Days went by and love brewed strong. We went ahead and things happened. Our families agreed and we exchanged rings. And like any other girl, I started daydreaming about the life ahead. Sequences of how I wish to see things unfold, celebrating moments together, doing things together, reading novels together and everything else together. But well well, was together planned by HIM? Only HE could answer. And when should HE be doing that? For me it was a fortnight before my Together started. O freak! HE couldn’t do that to me! I dreamt of a whole story for the ‘ever after’. May be the One thing I forgot is the fact that I can dream, but HE Creates. We

The Expression!

Love! A feeling indescribable! Have been a big movie buff and romances being favorite. Have grown up to them, the Bollywood songs, beautiful locations and superlative dialogues which make you fall in love. No doubt Shahrukh is my favorite. Getting goosebumps seeing DDLJ is how I have learnt what love is. Seeing Raj take over his ladylove is how I realised what love is. Yes I am a typical girl with a perplexed cloud of a dream romance in real life too. But but, real life is so much different. No background tracks, no beautiful weathers, no flying of hair in the winds and yes no beautiful places to play. Reel gives you a dream story to live a real, sometimes appoints, sometimes just pinches. Not sure if it can be true or anything, for some it is, for some it isn't. And then comes a person, who stirs your life and it becomes magic. You start living a life. It becomes different, it becomes enchanting. I believe in magic coz I can feel it. I believe in love for now I percei
