Was filling up a form online and one of the columns asked for "Place of Birth"

In the drop down, one of the options was "IN THE AIR" :D

Oh, i love the extended common sense ;)

I can't write poems for her!

I cant express how much i love her......

Sometimes when i am spaced out (which is more often than not), i wonder what makes mothers? Specially, the ones like mine, who redefine their spirits, keep up the head to align with the ones they gave birth to!

Why do men lose out on sense of the world faster? Is it only my observation or is it how it goes?

Whatever, right at this hour, am overwhelmed with the thought of that woman who gave me all the freedom to be me and kept holding on to her children so nicely! And no, she aint the old mother, she is the cutest, chirpiest 50year old i have met and someone who lives life with as much curiosity as she might have lived at 18!

Belated b'day wishes ma! (6th Feb)

Am trying ma, real hard sometimes!

Cut apples and put in creamy-sweet yoghurt! (no, not curd)

Heaven! Simplest yet such a satiating dessert for me!

Life lately has been full of interesting ways to bore myself but in between the boredom, i do manage to fill my tummy with some silly experiments!

- Made my first fried bread rolls , came lip smacking for indian,american and australian taste (house mates)
- Made my first egg curry (disaster according to me, but the firangs love the curry anyway!)
- Made grilled steak to be sandwiched with salads for a week's lunch menu! (slurp)
- Made tomato rice with parmesan cheese :D (nothing out of the blue, but was decent)
- I please myself with my own recipe for pasta-white sauce (easiest yet is a super substitute for the hackneyed tomato sauce)

And the kebabs in the store , that too in pita bread , oh yeah!!!

Long time since i read posts or yelled myself !

How has everyone been?

Am home these days, traveling, meeting people or simply relaxing!

This post is wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!

- I have a camera finally. Canon SD1000 (IXUS70). Was being purchased but eventually got gifted :)
- Last week, had been to the Brisbane Riverfire. A glimpse of the fireworks.
- In between, had been to a Jazz-Carnatic experiment by Toby Wren. I was amazed. Had recorded a bit of it. Apparently, Toby announced that he had been trained by U.Srinivas for one of the compositions.

- Rest, almost nothing or everything is keeping me busy.

Its pouring hard at this end of the world! Beautiful rains!

For my love for the drizzles, the thing which keeps me moving, for a while though :)

I wish i could click some bits but am busy living it !

Misty, the sky around
Misty, the path i found
Misty, the leaves on the tree
Misty, the eyes that fail to see

The above songs play almost everyday on my ipod... All relatively old but suddenly have become a way of life!

In other news, i wanted to attend the Linking Park show in Brisbane (not that i am a fan etc but i don't mind attending it) , its a whooping 100 dollars ticket ....waaaah :(

Wonderfully written and much better than the movie itself since the movie missed out all the "Chaos Theory" enlightenment etc. The only thing missing which generally happens when i enjoy a book is the air of imagination which was hindered by the fact that all the movie scenes were flashing instead of what the words might make me think.

Nevertheless, i am glad i finished a book after ages! More in line, hopeful :)

I landed on this movie's website and they have the recipe of all the dishes prepared throughout the movie as a part of their promotion!

Interesting i say :)

Also, in a thoughtless state, i find my once in a while association with a personality's skin/outlook shifting from Sandra Bullock to Catherine Zeta Jones!

Was at Caxton today, on a company lunch! I have been horribly feeding on "any" kind of food for sometime now.

Trying to get back to some revivals and who would give up a lavish treat :)

Alcohol abuse aside(beer + not-so-good pina colada + JW black) , "tasted and smelt" seafood.

Crispy skinned Atlantic salmon, with special hot English paste and pepper sprinkled! Without the paste and the pepper, it was still bland for me but with those added recommendations, it was pretty decent and good. I had loved fish and chips when i first had it and was desperately seeking a sea food dine out!

This is a post for the burp, acknowledging some rare times when am just eating and not thinking!

My landlady tells me , "so India got it's first woman president!"
 i went like "eh? whatever happened to ______?"

Man, i don't like the idea of him being not the president anymore :(

I know zilch about his side of politics and no , i don't idolize him or anything, it just does not _feel_ nice!

"Wings of fire" is one of those very very very few things which had influenced me ever!

:(

Half the world thinks advertising == marketing!

Even the bunch of super smart geeks i work with!

Add to that, some folks in the sales and marketing division can't demarcate the two!

Bossa Nova, Lambada , Salsa, Merengue

i love lambada! Merengue looks easy and fun but should watch/do more stuff before concluding. As of now with my body language lambada gives me chemical shots ;)

All the forms are attractive and fun but for the high energy thing and a bit of more innovative movements, lambada scores well!

I read a comic book after decades! A very short attention span and some reading problems made me find Asterix !

Next on the list goes :

Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton

and a book on scrum theory which i have been holding and looking at for a month now :P

No, this is not about the movie :D , I LOVE THE MOVIE THOUGH!

I joined salsa classes today! Was damn fun! More, when i actually get on to it :)

Neh, am not talking about the book (i found that silly once though) , sem one results out and i thought i would be a 6 grader!! Damn-ess!

Come second semester!!!

SS SODHI, relived!!



One of my college friends was a big fan of simpu singh and would perform a theatrical mimicry of the character! I bumped into this video on youtube during one of my time killer sessions on the internet!

The popstars ad was one of my favourite ads of sodhi ever!

enjoy :)

Something 10 months in my first company made me think i was the person to convey 'it' just the way it works!

I had decided but life had changed by the time i actually started studying it! That act of relating to different things you know and have seen did not pop up when required. The things they call thinking laterally which is the root of everything exciting was no more my prodigy! I have struggled through one part of the course with little air to breathe and think freely.

I did come up with 'ideas' but none of them, i acknowledged as good!

The most petrifying part was, after i made one, whether it means what i want to say and many a times, it did face the problem of being clear enough.

Unwatched and unmonitored loss of communication can have adverse effects specially when you pick up a line which solely depends on it.

I am hoping to deal with the issue and come up with a decent portfolio by the end of the second semester.

when you are staring at the screen, start moving your finger through your eating plate and begin wondering what's wrong with the touch-pad :P

The focus, the intensity and the charm of a father who just knew what he wanted was what he could get! A simple story with some interesting moments but a great performance. There are some unrealistic situations but the movie is not about being all correct and real. A recommendation for those who might have missed it back then like me!

And
