Freedom to be!

I've just finished watching "pretty woman" for the zillionth time. I realized something after watching it, we're all the same at the base of everything. I mean women will always get all dewy eyed and want to have that perfect guy at the end of the day. Guys will never answer well when they're watching a match. Any guy! I mean just have a phone conversation with my dad when west indies and india play and it can be quite frustrating. I had similar experience when I was speaking to this other friend the other day. He said okay to everything I said. So my conclusion at the end of all this is that one just needs to look at the critical signs to find out about the person.
I've graduated and things seem to be slowly falling into place. I will be going home. I cannot wait to hug my mom and sing along with my dad. Then of course I can't wait to see my sister. I can imagine us talking all night. Such fun! Gymkhana club, tennis, barista, driving down mount road, beach house, purupu usili and sathumadhu. Of course it will be sad going home minus fido. Hope he smiles from doggy heaven when we're all there together. Miss you fido. It will be so hard to come home minus you to greet me. He did it all through my years at PSG and bombay! God it will be sad.
I wonder whether I will be able to meet everyone I want to meet. I really have to meet some people. Lets see what God has in store for me. There is a little more excitement this time then previous homecomings. I wish the excitement is sustainable.
The bad side to all this is the packing and wrapping up to do. I guess all of us have to do that. I've decided to do something a la paranoia and try some story writing. Of course mine will resemble people who are either living or dead. But what is life when I don't follow my guru Anu malik or bappi da!

Tennis- An ode to my love!

 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 ...

Errr..Arghhh

School is finishing up and generally emotions are running high. There are a lot of things to do. ON top of all this I have been wondering about the human psyche. The words that come to my mind is the "power game". Some people want to always be at the higher end of the equation. Well it's not possible always. I mean the people who generally make the effort to always keep in touch also loose out sometimes. I mean they're also tired. How many times can they alone keep it going? How much of work all these things are! Is ego everything in life? Or is this some sort of message that others have to read. A really close friend of mine is going thru a rough patch now because she was at the lower end of the equation. I always told her it was fine and you do not have to go by book. She was fed up of the mind games and the moves she had to play. It was like constant game of chess. My sister often gets into these introspective moods and I used to blame her then for over analyzing. ...

Snow, Skis and pain

By -
I signed up for a SKI trip organized by graduate student wing at school because I felt I must do something different. I mean for a person from the tropics getting to do something in snow is bloody exciting. So we left in the morning at 6:45 AM for seven spring ski resort. Though it hasn't snowed for a week at pitt these people kind of preserve the snow with some chemicals and something else. So we entered seven springs and it was really cold. The person from the tropics was of course well equipped. Three layers of sweaters followed by the BIG FAT UGLY red jacket. But a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do when it's below freezing. So after the initial ski lesson we learnt the basics of sking. Then it was upto us to practics and try stuff. So I skied for about 6 hours yesterday and right now my feet feel like jelly fish and my hand and feet are swollen. The thing about sking is that one needs to learn from your mistake everytime you fall. But me being a slow learner, took...
