Magic that drives me crazy...

A new music phone and I spend the entire weekend loading songs it. Some new ones and some old ones. Wow! I love the romantic songs by rafi and kishore

Ehsaan tera hoga mujh par, mujhe tumse mohabbat ho gayi hai...

Dil ka bhawar kare pukar, pyaar ka raag suno re...

Chookar mere mann ko, kiya tumne kya ishara...

Tumne mujhe dekha...

Aa chal ke tujhe, main leke chalu, ek aise gagan ke tale...

Aise toh na dekho, ke humko nasha ho jaye...

Nasha hi yeh...I am feeling stupidly romantic and the weather in Mumbai is such that it is driving me all the more crazy. Dunno for whom I am humming these songs!

I had the best afternoon since ages. Rather than just napping and lazing around we did something more productive. By 'we' I mean my friend hamsa and I... and by 'productive' I mean something really crazy!!!

Going pink in the face!

Now that the ordeal of TY is over, I can do things which I had stopped doing for the past few months. R had been raving too much about a book. I thought I should give it a try. Considering it was a love story I had a few reservations. Rational me does not read love stories. But anyway i gave in and took up reading Stephanie Meyer's Twilight. I was warned by R to guard my facial expressions while reading it. He was right. The books makes you go pink in the face. Never read it in front of your parents, if you dont have any control over your facial expressions. Though I did not blush while my mother was around, I was too engrossed in the book that I did not do anything else but read. Out of curiosity my mom asked,' What are u reading? A love story?' I said, 'Yeah, mum. It is about a vampire falling in love with a human girl.' She quite naively asked me what a vampire was. I told her the meaning in a very crude language, which made her shriek in disgust. Lol! Coming back to the book, Edward is perfect boyfriend material. He is perfect in almost everything. I wonder if guys can actually be so good. No wonder he is a vampire!

PS: The feeling of TY coming to an end is mixed. On one hand I am relieved its all over, on the other hand I am sad that college has finally come to an end.

Books, Books all over!

With the university exams coming up in less than 2 months most of us have started(atleast pretended to have) studying. And that is how my room is full of books everywhere. Books on the table, books on the bed, books on the chair, books at the window. I have just one specific problem. I can't stick to one damn subject while studying and that is one of the reasons why I can't boast of having completed atleast one subject. The other ofcourse is my laziness. My mother has threatened to throw all my things out if I don't keep them in order. As it is my brother has been compelled to use one of the cabinets of the living room side-piece because the lady herself(that's me) occupies the study table cabinet. I know I m mean. But I can't help it. I have variety of study material stuffed inside the cabinet. Be it my TY books or my German course books. I also have a dirty habit of stocking my old stuff. That would explain the reason behind me still holding on to the MBA entrance material. Though I moved it out of the study table cabinet and put it on one of the upper shelf cupboards. The upper shelf cupboard also contains some of my school books which my mother has kept for my brother's reference(You know all those essay books, sanskrit books, etc). It also contains my FY and SY stuff. My mother does not understand the reason behind me not using them and still clinging on to them. What if I forget what I did in FY, SY and something similar crops up in TY. Then they will always come handy, wouldn't they? I know I have a hoarding syndrome, but there are so many memories attached to such things. Well I am not all that mean, I have promised my brother the study table cabinet after my TY.

PS: I forgot to mention. I have hoarded up all the editions of reader's digest since 2005 and I keep removing 2-3 per week to re-read. lol!

Oh-BA-MA

Wow! What a man! A great son, a great husband, a great father and now a great(I m assuming) president. A lot has been spoken about him and people know a lot about him. I ll just say what i liked about the man. He is a gentleman in all true sense of terms. What amazing guts he has got! With that just a bit of unusual warmth. I say unusual, because it does not come so naturally to strong-headed people like him. In some parts of his book, 'The Audacity of Hope' he talks about his wife Michelle. He says had his wife contested against him, he would have lost hands down to her. he says and I quote, 'Some people who have heard my wife speak at times come up to me and say 'Obama, we think the world of you, but your wife-WOW!' Who would talk about his wife like that? They have one simple but amazing love story. I was just overwhelmed by the way they were together yesterday. It was not a formal arm-in-arm but a very informal hand-in hand! That speaks volumes about their relationship. I am no entity to comment on his personal life. But just his simplicity appeals to me. I wish him all the best and may he bring about the change he wants to bring about.

PS: I told my Mom,'Ma, get me a man like that and I ll get married the next day!'
