Could This BE Any More Sweet? :)

So, the very awesome rocking DI has generously given us an award! Yayy for her! :) And of course, Yayy for the blog and moi! :) 

The rules of the award:
1. Thank the person that gave this to you
2. Copy the award and put it on your blog.
3. List 3 things you love about yourself
4. Post a picture you love (e.g a person you adore etc.)
5. Tag 5 people you wish to pass this award on to.

On to it!
Thank you DI for this very sweet award. If I could, I would pass the award back to you, because I genuinely enjoy reading your blog. A Lot! :)

Check Rule 1.
The very cute award:

Check Rule 2.

Now for Rule 3. This was the most interesting part.
  1. I have the ability to find humour in all situations! So, deceitful Autowallahs, crowded metros, long waits, my inability to get a driver's license for 2 long years, all find their ways into posts tagged "humour". Best example is of course, the fact that I laugh like an idiot on scary rides in amusement parks. What? I find that funny too!
  2. I have the silly, uncanny knack of remembering small, maybe not so important, detailed stories and incidents, which a friend kindly pointed out recently, is a cute quality! So there was that b!@#h in 3rd standard who killed my plant, that class party in 4th standard when I first heard that boy use "abusive" language (He called my friend a "gadhi" or donkey!) and the stupid boy who beat me to become prefect in 7th standard. Of course, with this responsiblity comes the huge task of keeping track of all the grudges I have, but kya karein. Karna padta hai! ;)
  3. I have varied interests. By varied, I literally mean "multiple". It goes something like - Books, technologies, coding, sports, movies, English TV shows, shopping, GADGETS, traveling, "Marketing!", photography, cooking, sleeping, quizzing, English(!!), gossip, Music of all kinds (My playlist is weird mix of Alternate rock, Classical music and what not!), Guitar, Politics, business, current affairs and oh, so much more!
Check Rule 3!
The picture below is that of Sakura or Cherry blossoms, that Japan is so famous for. These flowers bloom all over Japan in Spring. Now, when I was in Japan, the blossoms were yet to bloom, except for the rare few impatient ones. We managed to catch one such little guy, and that too in the rain! So here's the picture:


And the last rule! I wish to pass on the award to:
  1. Roshmi - Kind of a Welcome back, get well soon thing! :)
  2. Piyu
  3. Karthik
  4. dilontherocks
Sorry! Cant find 5, but in my defence, DI tagged 6. So, I gave her 1 on loan.. ;)

Cheers!
Happy Me! :)

Edit: I got my Driver's License 1 year back. Its just an old story we often refer to. :|

  5. Finally I get to comment! No chrome in the office comp :(
    Yaa, I was saying, that initially while tagging you all, I was explaining why I was passing awards to each of you, so my explanation for you was how funny I found you, AND I mentioned the crowded metro post and diagram! So yay for point 1! :)

  6. @ DI: YEah? Well, that's good then! I'm glad my judgement of myself seems to be right so far.. :)
    There's always that slight chance that what I find funny, may not be that funny for others! ;)

Letters to the Upparwalla!

(Wow! BlogAdda made my day! :) ) Prologue: I have been SO so SO so lazy, busy and blank, that I stopped writing posts altogether. But then, on reflection, I thought I owed this one to the unseen forces above. Hence, this post! LETTER #1 To The Gods Above, 1, "All Roads Lead to Heaven" Road, Heaven - 000000 15.06.2010 From Un Faithful Earthling Somewhere on Earth - Does the pin code matter? Sir/Ma'am, SUB: Complaint Regarding Services Rendered             This is to bring to your kind attention, the highly unsatisfactory services being rendered to me, not at all in keeping with the Contract signed during my release to the Earth. Further, I wish to register a complaint regarding the following key issues: Interaction With Irritating People : According to Clause 4 of my Contract which you have also signed, it was mutually agreed by both parties, that during my peaceful stay on Earth, my interaction with irritating peo...

The Truant Family!

The low hanging trees were always in demand. As Raji rushed for the nearest one, with her little brother in her tow, she cast a quick glance at the tree to survey the bounty. It was laden with fresh guavas, alright! Pumped, she put her foot on the lowest branch and pulled herself up. Raji had barely put her foot on the next branch, when she felt a tug on her skirt. Feeling a nudge of irritation, she peered down at her four year old brother. "What is it, Appu?" "Where's my guava?" he demanded. "Will you at least wait while I climb up?" She resumed her climb up carefully, so as not to tear her skirt. The trick was to choose the right branches.She had barely moved up one level, when she felt a tug again. She looked around for the nearest ripe guava and hurled it before Appu could speak.She heard his chuckles of delight as he dug into large juicy bites. That settled, she ensconced in a comfortable branch, and began her feast of the large, ripe guavas. S...

Hah, the year end again!

I cannot believe we are at year end again. (I can believe this is the first line of the post, as it is every year these last few years :D) A whole year went by again and I did not blog.  The good news is, I didn't expect to blog here this year at all. Low expectations keep me happy. I did keep writing every once in a while on LinkedIn, but to be honest, I still don't feel the flow I used to.  Back in the day, when blogging was king, around 2009-10, I remember, some of us used to post everyday. Some of comments are literally - firssssst. We would compete to be the first to comment on each others' posts. And now I see only dessert like blogs, with no new content.  I digress, though. I came, as always, to document what my year was like. 2024 has to be the fastest year. We started the year in Bangalore, just moving into a new house which we loved. By March, we were packing bags to move to Hyderabad. Usually there are lofty reasons for such moves - jobs, business etc. We moved...
