Intra apartment Tennis Tournament After a gap of nearly 7 years I took part in a tennis tournament at my apartment community in Bangalore. Unlike the younger days when I used to participate in league matches, I was a bit rusty on the tournament front. The funny thing is I do not find many women playing in the community. Hence to have a separate women’s tournament at the community is impossible. Therefore I persuaded my tennis male buddies to allow me to participate in the tournament when the idea was first mooted. They did not need much persuasion as they know I am a certified tennis lover like all of them. This brings an important point, most minorities just want to be treated equally and get a seat at the table. Game,set and match I knew my shot of winning a tournament like this was a long one. There were several disadvantages like weight, an average serve, weak backhand and inability to have a good court coverage. The thing that was going for me was my enthusiasm with the game ...
January started with a bang being busy at work as soon as the month started. December was a forgotten dream and it was really tough to hit the ground running. However, there were moments of bliss and one such experience is what I am going to write about today- The coldplay experience!!! A music concert like no other that warrants a blog post . I was a bit worried when I received a midnight call from my cousin Hrishi. "Was everything alright??" was my immediate thought and picked up the phone with fear. This feeling quickly turned to happiness when he said “Hey Papu do you want coldplay tickets, only catch is you have to fly to Bombay”. I leapt out of bed and did a merry dance and said yes I will confirm in the morning. My husband who had just returned from the US from a conference trip and was suffering from jet lag remarked “Not me I am not a fan and don’t know their songs but I know you are a certified nut. Take your girlfriends”. Earlier in the year when bookmyshow opene...
Okay pal! This is my 50th post and it has to be dedicated to one of the craziest people I've met. In fact she's just a little crazier than me so we get along real well. A great person who's stood by me thru thick and thin:-) Apart from the fact that she's a walking disaster(biggest clutz i've seen), her life is pretty smooth. The modest person that she is, she'll never admit how good she really is. You're too much! Similarities ============= 1. We both cannot take compliments and underplay ourselves (to a point which is cloying to the person who's at the other end). But Indie takes the cake! 2. We love cribbing. 3. We used to be the cry babies of room 16:-). Differences =========== Indy has a tremendous hit ratio with men. Half of our college was behind her:-) I wonder if it's the same at TAMU! (You cannot kick me..I'm far away:-) ) Hope you get the dream job that you want and all your dreams come true! Je vous aime beaucoup di! And INdy before y...
