Me blogging, thoughts wandering, smsing ppl..... and im struck by a thought.... the intensity of love ..... giving everything u have and expecting nothing in return. wiling to give up everything to be with the person and feel as if u are gaining the world. caring about the person beyond anyone or anything else...I love u Assad..
uhhh gtalk is is not working for some reason. i feel cut off from the world. i feel as if my day is not complete if i havent logged on to gtalk..... even if i dont chat to anyone, i need to be logged on at least. i guess its not so much talking to people, i mean if i want to do that i can call up a friend.... its more of just being around people i know and not necessarily talking.....and right now im in the mood to be around people and since im at home the only way i can do that is by logging on to gtalk.... WHICH IS NOT HAPPENING!!!!!!

As every new year comes we remember the year gone by. The year 2008 was filled with both happy moments to share and stressful times too. This year started with lots of anticipation and excitement of becoming a new parent. We waited day after day for the arrival of our little bundle of joy and she made her grand appearance on 23 march 2008....Dear Celmira...to start with ..you have become very naughty these days...when you act naughty, I try to be clam. I try not to yell at you and many times these days, I find myself just completely ignoring your act. I tell you that its not right to do so , but just in a normal voice. The other day, I raised my voice a bit and you started crying.... I have definitely learnt to be calm....You are choosy and picky about your food. You tell me that its okay if you ate a little less someday and that you would be alright. But me being your mommy will worry unnecessarily over the quantity that you've had. You like carrot, spinach...
It's a struggle these days to dress you up... You have been talking quite a bit, learning new words and trying to speak in words with actions. .....over the last couple of months, you have been spending more time with your daddy and getting much closer to him...Nowadays, you smile wide - toothless smile!!!, as soon as you see daddy in the morning. If you hears his voice, you look in that direction.... Plays more with dad, but returns to mommy when hungry.....Last week, when you were down with viral infection you had disturbed sleep during the nights..... cough irritated your throat, leading to more coughs during the night. Eventually you would get up, all upset and demand to sleep in your daddy's arms....My little princesss is growing up fast....you wants a bite from our plates always..you have made an effort to take a few steps of her own. For the past week, you have been trying to stand on your own without support....As you are approaching your first birthday, I cannot but wonder how days flew by and you grew up so fast....Its been a wonderful journey the past 9 months with you and wish that the new year brings many more joyous moments for you and us. Wishing you all a happy and funfilled New Year 2009....

Last week i was in mumbai for 4 days...we happened to visit this restaurant at racecourse ....Gallops is situated at the Mahalaxmi racecourse. the place is brilliant as far location goes cause the minute you enter the long road leading to the race course you enter into a different feeling where there is greenery all around and you are away from hustle and bustle of the city.....i was lost in those green lawns...cud not take off my eyes for a minute..hold on!...u think i have gone crazy...yes it was a treat to my eyes to see so much greenery after staying in Dubai where i can see only desert and glittering lights in malls...

The ambience is great and reminds you of a bygone era when the times were better and life was more laid back..... . I definitely recommend it , go ahead you won’t be disappointed... Yes, it’s not for one who reads the menu from right to left, price first and dish name later. But at the same time, it is expensive....I think, dining at Gallops is quite an experience if you are a food lover...Almost evey dish there is simply fabulous. My favourite was chicken cream soup which they served with fresh bread sticks with lip smacking butter...If you land up there for lunch on a racing day (when there is either live racing at Bombay with betting at Mahalaxmi racecourse) then YOU HAVE TO SWITCH OFF MOBILE PHONES as per the state government law ....So if you are addicted to your cell, lunch at Gallops on a racing day is not recommended for you. ...We ordered paya soup to start with...for starters we had prawns and mexican fried chicken strips...main course was hyderbadi biryani, Chicken ala kiev and chicken stroganoff.... All the dishes were really great and we all thoroughly enjoyed the lazy sunday lunch(the wierd mish-mash of Indian/Continental cuisine ). .....Total hit to the pocket... About 3K ...I found the place pretty sophisticated....didn't see much young crowd, but the place is really awesome - spacious, tables are nicely placed & lightings are good ....artisticly put up curtains...Gallops has the ambience of a britsh-raj style club.....I felt as if I was on a holiday in my own city Mumbai where i have lived for 25 yrs of my life....

My City...my MUMBAI!

It was like watching cheap some Hollywood action movie, where there are terrorists with sophisticated weapons entering the financial capital of world's biggest democracy ... opened fire at various public places, terrorize two five star hotels... Then arrive cops, commandos, military and in few hours a lively town turns into a battlefield

I can’t believe this happened to my city...MUMBAI...Two hotels, the Taj Palace Hotel and the Oberoi Trident, two of the best in India, India’s busiest railway terminus....CST ....all were terror attacked on 26th of Nov'08...Why?...Why my Mumbai?....Sitting so far from my land...i feel so miserable...so helpless...I had a sleepless night...Memories were flashing across my mind...my MUMBAI...

Yes...such incidents bring you so close to life....News was flashing on my T.V...i was holding celmira close to me..it could have been you, me.., my freind, my neighbour...anyone!....ooh gosh..it was so terrible...I am shocked......, helpless and angry..I have been watching television since yesterday and i am feeling sick in my stomach...I salute the police and security men who have been martyred in the encounter..

Bad enough the security guards check my car and bags each time I enter a mall or hotel in Mumbai..but all of this could not stop these terrorists to enter my city...

Meanwhile, I was just wondering where the hell is so called saviour of marathi manoos Mr. Raj Thackray?

I am not only with Mumbai. I am always with india. Because I don't think about just one state as Raj Thakre thinks. i have sympathy with the families who have lost their family members in this attach. but i wana to ask to Raj Thakre there where he is now, why don't he come infront of Terrorist now to save the mumbai...... .. where has gone his love for his state . why dont he fight with these terrorist for his people of mumbai....? I m sorry if anybody feel bad from my words but these words came from my heart so i wrote here...r they hiding behind their doors or have put on bangles when their "so called" mumbai is facing all this threat since the past 3 days??they shud all be pulled out of their homes n pushed inside the Taj, Oberoi & Nariman house.
if they have any shame left in them, they should'nt even show their faces ever again!!....

well someone jst called me and said..Raj Thakre is busy going through the list of NSG commandos and checking if any of them is from outside of Maharashtra...

If anyone reads my blog anymore I just wanted to let you know that I am still here...

hmmm..uhh?...

One trouble with having a blog is that since people are up to date with all your news, they hardly call you up. Moreover, it is always a one-way communication.....
Agar kissi cheez ko dil se chaho to saari kayanath tumhe usse milane ki koshish me lag jaati hai......
I wanna travel atleast 1 country in each continent,.....
