Ramblings of a Feisty Spirit

But evertime I sat down in front of the ‘New Post’… nothing! Zilch! zap! Sigh… I think a bit of the credit of ‘the block’ goes to my life..which is kinda changing colours every minute.. too many changes.. too many things to handle..and honestly i am this simple tiny person..who doesnt really like too many changes… but then, kya karein…have to deal with them (I have already mentioned this in my previous post)

My sister is growing up.. yes..she is my kid lil sister who I have, literally, brought up! So yeah, it is very very difficult for me to ‘Accept’ that she is grown up. There are many times that I probably frown upon her activities…but then end of the day, I feel, I am just being over-protective and when I was her age, I did do some of the things that she is doing now! So yeah.. I need to ‘Accept’. I know I know.. But kya karein, its like a second nature for me to tell my lil sis, what is wrong and what is right.. even though I know she is doing nothing wrong!

Another change that happened – Marriage! You know, I always thought… I knew my Pati for 4 years before getting hitched and marriage wont really change anything, we are still gonna be the same 2 persons, just living together now! But I was wrong.. It changes a whole lot of things, it changes you – maybe just makes you more mature, teaches you to compromise, teaches you to respect feelings, teaches you to be polite and control your anger. Dont get me wrong – I DO recommend it to all! Its the most Amazing thing in the world! 🙂 But be prepared to make a hell lotta changes in your life. You get responsibilities, you CANNOT be frivilous and you definitely cannot take your life for granted – coz now you are sharing it with another person. hmmm… I have changed and I have ‘accepted’ it! 🙂 Yeah..its a wonderful life!

So, on another note, I am on Twitter now.. Officially I say..and I must say, its highly addictive..the good part is I have actually acquainted myself with tonnes of people through this addictive lil thing- My friend circle is ever-increasing, I say! 😉

Another thing I love about Twitter is how people we call ‘Stars’..Bollywood and Hollywood are ‘Regular Twitter Users’ and its honestly quite fun to see their personal photos on Twitpic, to see them talk about their regular life with such honesty and ease.. Me Likey..

I read today about how there was a huge debate in Rajya Sabha regarding the show – Sach Ka Saamna. The politicans consider the show “Offensive to good taste and decency”.. REALLY?? So they should probably issue notice to all reality shows across channels for the same offence.. I think, that the politicans are scared that one of them might just go on the show and all his ‘Kali Kartoot’ will be aired on TV.. Ha Ha! Honestly Mr. Politican, grow up! We are all adults, if we dont wanna watch it, we will change channels. Stop concentrating on what we should be watching, and work on catching rapists, murderers and erasing other evils of the society! hmph!

Some of the thoughts that rumbled through my head…just meant to pen it down.. Thanks to my sister, who insisted that I am being an emotional wreck and If I pen these feelings down, I will feel better! Thanks Sis, I DO feel much better now! 🙂

• My fitness Regime – Has been going well. We have found some great videos..courtesy Youtube.. and even though there is no sign of weight-loss (damn).. I see a consistency and a healthy attitude and mind I never felt before. There are two additions to the information bank on Weight Management Blog that I wrote before. I hope the links I gave you earlier were helpful in some way or the other. So adding to that 3 other things:

2 links that can give you 20 mins of full-on cardio workout at home, without equipments! It gives you that Kick-start of the day that you so badly need and since no equipments required.. you will thank me for saving your money! 🙂

10 mins Jump Start Cardio Workout

10 mins Cardio Kickboxing Workout (my favourite..kicks some ass)

A book that I swear by, a must-read for everyone.. It is, I consider, a Bible for Fitness.. Sort of breaks all myths revolving Weight-loss..diet etc! I actually found out that most of things I was doing was Wrong! Don’t Lose your mind, Lose your Weight by Rujuta Diwekar.. She is God to me at present! A Must-Read for everyone wanting to lose weight, maintain weight or almost falling into diet-traps!

• My-in laws were in town for 3 weeks..so as usual I was busy doing ‘seva‘ and earning Brownie Points! It was a full-house.. there were people in the house every single minute and our lives n the small apartment suddenly seemed large and huge! It was fun I say!
• May was also the month of S and My Birthdays… So it was celebration Full-On! So we had 3 birthday celebrations in all — 6th may (S’s bday).. we went for a nice quiet dinner, 17th May (moi’s bday) was a family affair.. shopping, lunch, midnight surprise… aaah! the works!:) and Then .. 30th May (the party–hyy).. we threw a lavish Hawaiian Brunch Party for our friends at The Beach on Sunday.. which culminated into a great all-day party affair! Oooohh How I love Celebrations and How I love Buddays! 🙂
• My point of view of the Australian Racist Attacks — Oh Wat a blow-out! Why would the Indian Media (already famous for blowing things out of proportion and making mountains out of a mole hill) spend so much of air-time and print space on this? Its not like its the first time? Just coz this time someone complained, the media decided to track even the smallest of crimes and convert it into a hate-crime! I read somewhere – Where does the Indian Media go when Foreign students in India are being attacked, raped and murdered? Why is that not ‘blown-out-of-proportion’? So I feel, Guys.. I agree what is happening in Australia is extremely UNFAIR and I would urge that ‘set of people’ who are doing this to kindly STOP! but pleasee.. is it right to term the entire nation as Racist? Are indians not racist when it comes to Dark-skin and Fair-skinned? come onn….
• I am working on a hugggeee assignment at work. It could be called my ‘biggest assignment‘ till date.. Since I am part of the Marketing Communications team.. my sole job is to make our ‘ugly fugly‘ Conference Room into a state-of-the-art executive Conference Room.. So currently I am an Interior Designer cum Communications specialist. Not only do I decide what kind of furniture, plants, decorations will go into the room but also decide on what kind of branding to be done! wohooo! I love my job NOW! 😀
• S got the ‘Innovator of the Year‘ award at his company and my joys knew no bounds! [tanu does a lil hop-skip-n-jump] All his hard work and dedication and my yelling that he has no time for me.. has paid off! haha.. I loved it! 🙂
• So Congress is the new Government. Me Is Happy! I hated BJP! honestly.. their biased and racist.. and Hindutva views drove me nuts! I just hope that Mr.PM and his team gets down to business immediately and do what they promised us they will do!
• I dont like the fact that BJP is still in Power in Karnataka.. They are useless.. regressive.. old.. and support Muthalik and his C**P brigade! (wont say more.. on that)
• I am on-edge most of the time.. scared about my job..hoping daily that my ID Card works when I go to work! :(.. I wish the economic crisis gets sorted out quick!
• S and I have not taken a vacation in the past 6 months… sigh! It is sort of driving us up the wall.. Not even a weekend Guys…. grrr.. So we are planning to take 5 days off and go to Goa (I have already told you how much I love that place) Plus I wanted to experience Goa in Monsoons.. I have heard its Gorgeous.. 🙂
