Have to prove my metal! :P

Guess what!

My guardian angel is really by my side these past few days. Hi Five!

Just visited my friend Moo's blog and from there hopped on to another blog HippieHollySimpleSally.blogspot.com (check it for sure) and the two women were having give aways! Why you ask? They made it to their 250th post and what better way to celebrate than to share, is what they believe in. I couldn't agree more with you girls.

The give-aways include two pairs of silver ear-rings and a necklace with a big locket. The silver will bring out the glint in my kohl-lines eyes. The ear-rings from FabIndia have such beautiful craftsmanship on it (http://hippiehollysimplesally.blogspot.com/2010/06/holly-sallys-happy-giveaway.html). It also brought back memory of my first pair of silver ear-rings. The ones that got lost! :'(

I will take my time, but don't think I'll get over the loss of those lovely ear-rings. However, I couldn't ignore the opportunity of having some new silver (Guardian angel, I see you!)

I have very little time (July 2 is the last day for entries) but my fingers are crossed! (Go guardian angel! Go!)

And you girls, Cheerio!

To you my dearest R...

There's now a hollow so deep
that I feel it in my soul
Didn't you for once know that
Without you I'd be alone

I'm searching for my purpose now
With eyes full of tears
My love! I can't see you
With whom do I share my fears?

You weren't just a piece of me
But the whole of my heart
Had you given us a chance
We could have had a fresh start.

My dear baby... I love you

What had I not seen?
What had I not heard?
Your eyes searched for me
But your lips were pursed

How could I not know?
That you were slipping away
How did I not know?
That from within you frayed

Why didn't you let me in?
I could have helped
Why didn't you let me in?
I could make it end

When did it go wrong?
I don't have a clue
Was it the day that
I forgot to say 'I Love you'?

Have I watched you wither?
Right before my eye
I think it was your smile
That safely said the lie

I don't know what to do
With the world I build around you
So many questions
But the answers are gone with you

How will I know what went wrong?
How will I know what pushed you over the edge
Was it something I did or
Was is something I said

When did it go wrong
I haven't got a clue
Was it the day that
I forgot to say 'I Love you'.

My site has been set up

My big bro set up a website for me. It's a trial site as of now, but I think its great. It's been a huge encouragement to keep at what I'm doing. The ideas are coming in aplenty and the feeling is great.
All doesn't seem as vain now.
You know how one happiness overflows into some other unhappiness and makes everything happy-happy. I know its sounding all garbled but you get the idea right?
If you don't, then you can suffice by just being happy with me now.

My site is about one of my passions in life - shoes. Like you know from the earlier blogs, I've been meaning to do something on my own. And I started painting on shoes. I've done a few for friend and my for moi.

It was my big bro who got me thinking seriously bout shoes and it is now him who is kindaa proud of his baby sis and is supporting me with both his shoulders. Thankya!

Friends too have been a huge encouragement. With prompt suggestions, ideas and criticisms. Thanks guys!

I pray that all this goes off as planned!

happy :)

I'm happy.
I'm smiling and to myself. I'm just so happy.
I'm stuck in a job that isn't the job of my dreams and yet I'm happy.
I can see something on the horizon and it makes me smile, it gladdens my heart.
It all doesn't seem so vain now. I can see the sun shine on me. I look blessed.
I hope you're happy too.

fluffy green clouds

The rains are here...
It isn't my fave season or anything. I'm more of a summer girl...yet when u've lived in Mumbai for all time, you can't possibly completely detest the rains.

I enjoy watching the rains, sitting inside the warmth of my home watching the drops hit mother earth and bounce off a bit only to embrace her again. Green is my favourite colour so i guess since everything is vert it appeals to me some more. The trees looks so magnificent and beautiful it reminds of clouds. Green clouds from which I could bounce up and down...up and down...up and down....bump...bump...bump...sorry I got a little carried away.

I'm nostalgic now...

deeds of madness - trampoline

This was just after big bro's wedding. There was a lot of leftovers of both food as well as people. Close to home is a multiplex to which I have never been before. Tacky movie was being screened at the multiplex...but guests from afar wanted to check it out and all of us in general justwanted to get out and have a good time. So what the heck!
This multiplex also doubles up as a mall with fine dining restaurants and shopping arcades all under the same roof and blah! Chuck that.
The best part about mall 'Big' (that's what we'll call it for safety reasons) was the trampoline there. The bad part was that it was for kids...and in small print it was written that it was meant for small kids. Now tell me who ever would throw their small babies on a trampoline to be tossed around. Kids that have a sense of balance could play on a trampoline and I am included in that group of kids. But mister watchman was so stoopid and could understand that. But don't worry, I can get my way. Without another word I moved along with my family to watch movie 'Tacky' (again for safety reasons) :)
National anthem, movie, songs...songs, popcorn, movie, songs...songs, ending, exit. We were back to where my mind was - the trampoline. This time the annoying watchman was no where in sight and without hesitating for a microsecond I was on the trampoline jumping and freefalling only to hit trampoline just in time to do a somersault, and get back to my feet (I bet the somersault made me look like a spaz...but who cared!). Wow! the rush of blood to the head is great! I jumped again and again and once again.
My aunt from far away was aghast, my cuz had her jaw dropped to the floor, my big bro was watching out for me while my sis-in-la was having fun with me with her shouts and hoots. Mommy dearest was proud that her kid of marriageble age was a crazee lump. Just when I was soaking the many expressions the darned watchman came over from someplace and began swinging his lathi at me to get off the trampoline. Like I care! But none the less I got off, well after I'd had my share of fun!
Whoa!
The next time you see a trampoline make sure you get onto it. Even if it is for a short while before you're thrown out.
