Stop, stop ... STAUPPPP!!

I was exploring the world of cricket on youtube when I landed on the video of that (in)famous Aamir Sohail -Venkatesh Prasad encounter in the India-Pak ODI - World cup 1996.


I vividly remember watching it at home and getting all joshed up and screaming and jumping up and down in glee.

And I realised it was fifteeeeeen years back!

15!! I can’t imagine 15 YEARS?! SO much has happened in 15 years!

And then I figured I was only 10 then.

Shit. I feel oldddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.

Someone stop the time :-/

:) but :(

Lately everything around me has been about wedding or associated with wedding in some way or the other. Lehenga, saree, jewelry, shoes, rooms, food, favors, sangeet, decoration and lots more.

It becomes overwhelming sometimes. Today was one such day. Although I hadn’t done any of the above mentioned things. The reason was this sms that Mummy sent in the day…

ओस की बूँद सी होती है बेटियां,
स्पर्श यदि खुरदरा हो तो रोती है बेटियां!
रोशन करता है बेटा एक ही कुल को,
दो दो कुलों की शान होती है बेटियां!
कोई नहीं दोस्तों एक दुसरे से कम,
बेटा अगर हीरा है तो मोती होती है बेटियां!
काटों की राह पर चल कर,
औरों के लिए फूल बोती हैं बेटियां!

विधि का विधान और सृष्टि का यही रीति रिवाज़ है की,

अपने प्रियजनों को छोड़ कर पिया के घर जाती है बेटियां!!

Emotions ka overdoze ho gaya Maaaaa.... Damn!

Senstivity

Chhi and Bhangi were telling me about their new year’s night. How they had a bonfire on one of the coldest nights on a beach in Daman and Bhangi started the fire and kept it going all night and how he tried real hard to not let it die when this one log refused to burn. That’s when this thought struck me.

Women are sensitive.

When someone close forgets to wish her on her birthday.
When her bff goes out for shopping with someone else and forgets to tell her.
When her friend does not meet her for a long time.
When her boyfriend forgets that she hates capsicum.
She takes it to her heart.

When her sister compliments her just like that.
When her roommate covers her up after she falls asleep.
When her friend comes over with nariyal pani or flowers.
When her boyfriend calls her a tomato.
She goes to bed with a smile on her lips.

Complicated. I know.

Men are sensitive too but in strange ways that I won't understand. If a man has built a fire and the last log does not burn, he will take it personally!!

Simple!?! :-)
