Friday - Akshaya Tritiya

Friday! Some pictures from a previous weekend - tea is the highlight of a relaxed day. Friday! Got into the habit of buying gold on the occassion of Akshaya Tritiya - a habit influenced by Kala. May her soul rest in peace. Planning to go in the evening to Malabar Gold at the newly opened Lulu mall. Akshaya Tritiya on a Friday has made it more special. Today was a relaxing day - got up at 10am - had slept at 4am. Came back from Jary by 2.30am, but it took me sometime to wind up things and go to bed. Made semiya upma (yummy) and a flask full of mint+red tea (wah!). Watching "Zanjeer". Amitabh is sooooo handsome! Love him. teri hasi ki keemat bataade tu... here is the famous song from the movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q-hisL2Srs

Osama is dead!

The western media is going ga-ga over the death of Osama Bin Laden. They see it as an American victory. What a joke!!

If Osama is not dead already, he must be laughing at all this. As I wrote on my Facebook wall - "With this farce of Osama being dead, I wonder how many such stories the western media has fed the world till now! And how many I have believed..."

Relaxed...

What am I doing....
Imagine! Watching "Shaadi 3 crore ki" on NDTV Imagine. Following the customs, rituals, emotions, happiness and sad moments when two families are marrying, as we say - it's not just the bride and groom, but it's two families coming together. I feel happy to see the traditions being followed in this age and time. Though, initially, I didn't like the concept, now I watch it regularly. Enjoyed the bollywood night, sangeet, shagan, mehendi. The gifts exchange and the relatives comments - some good n some nasty - it is amusing to watch. Very close-knit families. God bless Ishu and Sheenu. Waiting to watch the wedding episode.

Yesterday, India beat Pakistan in the World Cup semi-finals. Another event to watch the flow of emotions - before and after, and during the game. As I wrote on Facebook, it is time to redefine the word "Patriotism" in terms of cricket.

Rain in Winter

Imagine rain, thunderstorm and a bit of hail! In winter, that too. I am in college having hot soup. The weather is 8c or less. This weather demands one to be at home under quilts. It is exam time and lots of "sorting out", "clearing up" time.

I enjoyed the bus ride at 7am. It was raining and it was cold. I had my green tea, mp3 player and in a happy mood.

There is meeting at 12 and an exam at 1. I hope the evening goes well too;-)
I am sure akka will make pakodas with ginger tea.
