forgetting my way...

the below is to USMAN!
a dedication to the most forgetful person on this planet.
and also a good friend :)

now, get ready to take a journey into the mind of the usi-man!

FORGETTING MY WAY...

actually i forget a lot of things...
but it aint my fault!
it's not the way i am
or it's not the way i want to be!
it's just life playing a cruel trick on me. :(

i don’t forget to cuss the alarm clock in the mornings.
though there are times when i forget to comb my hair.
but i don’t forget to grab a bite before leaving home.
nor do i forget to pick my lunch box.

what i do forget is to sometimes renew my train pass.
but that doesn’t stop me from forgetting not to swear in the crowded trains.
i forget to or pay heed to my family's advice of not hanging out of the trains.
and i forget the next hour as i am crushed amongst bodies, like them sardines in a can.

what i forget is to sometimes organise my day.
i forget to tell my team what lay ahead.
i forget i am the authority or lay down the rules.
i forget simply cos i don’t want to wanna hurt nobody, or is it that i forget to get mad.

what is it that i forget?
is it the birthdays and the anniversaries?
is it what i have to do?
is it where i am going?
is it what am i going to eat?
is it my way home?
what is it?
what?
what?
i just cant seem to remember!
oops... there goes me forgetting what i have to do again.

26 years of wedded bliss!

Ok how do people do it?
Forget about people how have my parents achieved this?
Man!

26 years of togetherness + courtship + neighbours from childhood = forever!

I for one can’t stand the same person after sometime. I need variety. Yup that’s me. I get bored easily. Very easily indeed. Ok may be not so easily.

Ok ok so how is this done?

My observations:
Go umm… hmmp… ok… even if you not listening.

To keep the kids happy, always blame it on the other parent.

Actually I do not know.

I have not managed to have a successful relationship ever! So taking advice from me, spells disaster.

Bye, I think I need to have a talk with my mom and coax my dad for the car maybe. Or an i-phone. If you are wondering… my dad, never says no to me. I am his little princess.

Now I hope that talk helps. I am a confused species. Blame it on the generation. There aint nothing wrong with me!

Oh yeah… & happy wedding anniversary Mama & Papa.

Keep Losing My Way

I had nothing to speak about for a real long time well that could be due to the fact that I’ve been extremely busy.


So busy that I’ve feeling everything is pulling me under. Work, personal life, work, family, work, friends, work, work, work…


Some of my friends have tagged me as a workaholic. This title could ring true. Damn it’s true.

Over a cup of coffee with a friend, he tells me that I am the single most hard-working girl he knows. The others, he says leave it all, to get married or are scared of the hardships striking it out on your own involves.

Ok so I smile at his words, I love my life, my career, my freedom.

But at times I wonder if I am doing the right thing? Putting a career before everything else. Actually trying to be somebody for what I am not just who I am.

But amid all this... can anybody see me, because I can’t seem to see myself!

As i stop to listen I realize how much these words ring true. Below are excerpts for Justin Timberlake’s single, which describe exactly what I am going through.

And...

And it's breaking me down
Watching the world spin round
While my dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?

It is breaking me down
No more friend around...
And my dreams fall down...
Is anybody out there?

Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself...
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself

Losing my way
Keep losing my way...
Keep losing my way...
Can you help me find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way...
Can you help me find my way?

Oh my god please forgive me (father hear my pray)
'Cause I know I've done some wrong in this life
If I could do it all again
Have just one more chance
To take all those wrongs and make them right

Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.

An Ode to Gaurang

This ode was just too good to let resting pinned up on a wall.
This one’s by Tan, on our 1st Wedding Anniversary…

An Ode to Gaurang
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day.
The sweet spring breeze, the monsoon rain,
But Alas,
Though are more glorious than the comparison convey,
And the sweet spring breeze only lingers for a while.
The rain showers us not with the gifts that you do,
The seasons fade but your love is true.
For no bolt of thunder is as the jolt of laughter,
That makes me wonder of the before and after.
Before this life of wedded bliss,
Was an empty nest that thou miss.
For with great confidence I do reckon,
That no other husband doth beckon,
He’s only two wives to step not the doors
And seek out other paramours.
One with the speech of a far away place,
And both far too annoying to face.
For something there is that doesn’t love a wife,
But this is not you for you have pledged your life.
You have brought us joy, you have warmed our hearts.
Dear husband, dear Gaurang,
We thee shall never be apart.

Getting the FORMULA right

So the prancing did what they had set out to do in a real long time. Though I missed watching the race, I did phone a friend and get the results. Thank God for small miracles.

Of course it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure, that I am a Ferrari fan.

My brother gifted me a 50 year special edition Ferrari book and,
now my friend, the crosswords guy even bought me the 60 year Ferrari edition on Top Gear magazine.

Yeah and the fact that I got a F1 scaled down car from a best friend. And it’s not a Ferrari! That’s a gift only a best friend would ever think of getting you.

A Renault! The team who last year kicked Ferrari’s ass. Autographed by Alonso that too!
Ok so ok. I loved the gift anyway… Thanks Ankur, love you for this.

And guess what, I was even quoted in the BUZZ, a supplement of the Times of India, my quote as follows...

A case in point is 23-year-old media professional, Jolene D'Souza. "My brother used to follow F1 religiously, and I had no choice but to watch whatever channel he was watching," she says, in between stealing glimpses of the race. "A few races later, I was hooked. The excitement of who's going to win, the speed and skill interest me," says the Schumacher supporter who's dragged her friends along to watch the race at the Sports Bar in Colaba. "It is so much fun to watch the race at a pub, with friends—the excitement is palpable and you can scream like mad," she says, pointing to the wild crowd.

All said and done, its time Ferrari proved their supremacy.
And the prancing horse gallops to glory!
