This is a post I have been thinking of writing....wht prompted me to write it....
Lets see...
Two of my very good friends got married on Saturday...Me being here missed all the fun.
Most of my friends on orkut are putting up double photos meaning couple waale...
Most of my batchmates guys including hav got married or commited...(commited mane booked :) ) Of course there is another set who are putting kids photos...
Fortunately my school friends and some of my college friends are remaining in the same boat as me :)
In Office all are married else fianced....
what happened to the singles movement....I wonder?
Its nice to knw ur friends status is changing if not VISA status, nice to see the snaps whether it is them alone or with spouse or with kids....
But somewhere wistfully you look and feel where are ppl like us.
Among the gang the rush of knowing a close friend getting married is amazing and best still is attending the wedding. Given the different regional friends its nice to attend different types of wedding.
Greater is the amazement when you know of some of your friends with kids.. It is a very pleasing and fun feeling to knw that a key to the next generation is in their hands....
( Of course that does move you to Bhai jee and Behen jee or Uncle-Aunty Level.)
Though I guess i wrote this feelingly because of my inability to attend the weddings...But i think it is nice to get or rather give some reassurance to my still single friends..
Bhaiiyon - Beheno our tribe is not extinct yet :D
Neways still on a lookout kii ab kiska number next aayega...

rAnDOm tHoUGhts
So many times it happens that you have so many ideas in ur head but nothing to jot down.......
and when you stare at the blank computer page....nothing absolutely nothing comes to your mind.....
I started like that just to try to remember the thoughts that accumulate..........at random...and so many views I have but maybe cannot express.....
I subscribe to the pravsj forwards...sometimes the messages which come are really good and especially the quotes.....The quotes in themselves are pretty motivational but some times the pictures are pretty bleak.....though the quote makes up for that too.......
I had subscribe to those messages to ensure that i am in regular supply of good quotes so that i could forward to my friend circle morning moring as a good morning wish....just like some of my friends religiously send the Good morning mails...its nice to go morning morning and receive the morning mails...it's a different thing that my morning here happens pretty late......as compared to indian mornings.....
so by the time i decide to send a good morning mail its almost the next day there ....
Neways...i am slowly slowly getting used to being alone though cannot associate that with loneliness.....have to find a way to find solace in it.....
first I used to avoid staying alone coz thats the time when you terribly miss everything that matter most....
but now slowly slowly inch by inch trying or rather learning to deal with it......
Of couse having internet helps coz browsing sites themselves causes a lot of timepass though you might not say productive time pass...
you can also ensure it is productive....by searching for deals....
when i came to US..one of the first things i learnt from collegues and roomies was that if u get good deals online you save quite a lot,..... so each of them ensured that they saw deals online in various sites first and publicise it...most of them had a daily morning good morning routine.....of seeing all the possible sites for deals....
I thought it was a trend here so me to joined the band wagon for some days....but had no patience to wait and search for some thing which I would not buy thinking that there would be a good deal next.... thankfully its not become a habit now :)

Old World Charm.........
As I was browsing rediff came across this article..... http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2006/oct/13sd1.htm
But instead of thinking abt the Diwali factor...(article was for How Bollywood celebrates the festival of lights) I went on a different track.....
This picture reminded me of how Waqt (one of my favourites movies) is so different from the movies that come up today .... Looking back at this picture reminded me of how chivalrous men were and how different were the get up of females then....
The bouiffed hair do and the stitched on to you clothes....Yet it was an era ...be it in regional cinema...bollywood or hollywood...
where actors charmed people by their graces.....and most of whom had an aura about them..irrespective of whatever the tabloids said.... there youthful Shashi Kapoor...a yahoo Shammi Kapoor... a charismatic Dharmendra and a wonderful Sunil Dutt......boyish Joy Mukherjee
Of course there were stalwarts like Balraj Sahni, Pran, Prithviraj and of course Dileep Kumar.
Who can forget the doll like Saira, the Sadhana in white, coiffed Asha Parekh,smiling Vyajayantimala, doe eyed Sharmila, the trendsetter Nargis or the effervescent Madhubala....
They had a grace which could be rivaled by very few.....
The different part about these movies were that most of them are not watchable with the current mindset...for these you have to go to the nostlagic mindset :)
All the movies had real good songs..hummable even now...and mostly with social messages which did not seem like a bitter pill to swallow....else it was the typical "Alls Right with the world" ending inspite of all the trials and tribulations the protagonist had to suffer through out the movie... And yes some fabulous scenaries prior to Yash Chopra discovering Switzerland ..........
So long those were the days of some real good different movies.......the magic of which can rarely be recreated now.....

Happy ganesh chaturthi in US
From: Tina
Date: Aug 27, 2006 11:15 PM
Subject: Happy ganesh chaturthi in US
Today was Ganesh chaturthi ...........
I never thought i would miss the loud playing of music which used to irritate me.....
Not that 'Mein nikala gaddi leke' from Gadar was ever my favourite .....but i could not tolerate it more after hearing it played continuosly by all the Ganesh mandals of our place at various tempo in my last year of Engg....
The next year I spent the ganesh chaturthi in chennai where i guess vinayaka chaturthi is not of that much fervour as in pune - mumbai ......or maharashtra...
We hardly noticed it.....except for the fact that few of our friends had managed to go home for ganpati ...... and bought back sweets and lovely modaks ...
The ones in the shape of pedes with saffron ( milk sweet meat...) of chitale bandhu or the steamed riceflour modaks with cocunut and jaggery filling ......wow heaven in chennai....
but we did get glimpses of ganesh chaturthi albeit limited one with us able to go home earlier as the beach was one of immersion grounds....
only difference being speakers blaring 'apadi pode' instead of hindi songs.....
The next one in hyd was ok....in the sense that there was trademark rain and trademark friends going home and getting modaks......But we were in midst of a lot of wrk that time so just had glimpses although really near ones ....
Saw different pandals on the way back frm office while in bus....
Our building had kept one so there was pooja and last day there was a group prasad dinner tooo
Ghar ka type khana having it seated on ground in leaf plate.....
So did not miss pune -mumbai type ka ganesh chaturthi
infact felt a relief that it was not too noisy.....
Not that i am an ardent fan of festivals...but that it is such a part and parcel of life that it gelled into the routine so much that i did not notice it much and had got used to it
....That was earlier....now i know that how much i or rather everybody considers it a part and parcel of life that we don't notice it unless you miss tht routine some how...
This year Ganpati in US was different to the point that nothing happened ..If it wasn't for the fact that i already knew it I would not have noticed it....
Although climate wise it was exactly typical pune rain which made going out as cumbersome as possible....
Was planning of going to a place called Flushing near New York.....where it seems there are lots of temples....
Unfortunately could not make it as it was raining too much in the morning....and mainly no company....
So just like i did on independance day and raksha bandhan....to get the feel of the festival
played the online song compilation at raaga..... :)
Aarti thiii toh atleast laga toh kiii ganesh pooja kahi toh ho rahee hai
The place I stay had a huge indian presence...so was able to see lots of couples and families in traditional indian gear as in Saree and sherwani types.....
Esp families who went to temple and came back.....
The only high point being missing modaks........ nebody remotely able to get modaks please hav one for my sake :)
Of course had got a lovely SMS in the morning ....so just like back home I forwarded it to one and all.within US and back home india jayega kii nahi no guarantee.....
Only after forwarding did I realise that even to receive a sms here it is charged....
So all those who got my message bechare charge padd gaya hoga ......
Neways for all those back home ...don't take Ganpati for granted and njoiii the elephant headed god for a fortnight more....Hav a blast....and lots of sweets tooo....
Happy Ganesh Chaturthi.......
Warm regards,
Tina.

A flashback weekend .................BOWLING
From: Tina
Date: Aug 22, 2006 1:31 AM
Subject: A flashback weekend .................BOWLING
RING RING ..................It was around 10.30ishhh --- 10.45 p.m.... I was just wrapping up the code change to move it to different environment...
One phase had already gone to production and the next was abt to go by next week....
"Hungry kya ..." wala feeling was just starting to develop.....
This was the time when we were in throes of work and so were working late in Hyd...apna golden office re ;)
So rather than tolerate the food at 9.30 ...my team mates would go for bread omlette or maggi which was available after 12.00
(it was a different issue even the non kitchen compliant nut could also make better maggi than what was being dished out at cafeteria)
To get that we would walk down to the dorms cafeteria....discussing abt the problems in general and problems in particular esp late night working which we all had unknowingly got habituated.....
wow woh bhi kya dinn thee :)
toh back to where I started ... RING RING......
my cell was ringing ...
For the first 2-3 rings i did not pick it up thinking some of my friends giving free miss calls for saying good night when their free smses were over...
but the call was continuing...
I saw kii my manager was calling....
mentally in span of 2 secs i reviewed kii was there any escalation or sumthing ...as itnee raat ko without reason toh my manager would never call
nothing i could think of.....
I picked up the cell with worst expectations though i started with all niceties....
"Toh tina jee where is bowling in hyd ....."
I was like 'yeh poochne ke liye call kiya ? '
There are lots of places in hyd , some of friends have gone to this place ...that place....i continued....trying to think at night where did bowling come into picture....
"Where did u guys go? "
I was like yeh kya hua ...we toh went a couple of weeks back ...that too when we had a get together of friends tab....
just to do something different with weekend rather than watching movie......
but how did that come into picture today....
sirjee we went to so and so place in ameerpet....
"yes madam I can see you , vijay, sonia , manoj and smita bowling on TV...."
I almost fell off the chair......
I was like wow ..kya connection ....
I was like speechless for sometime and then manage to croak..... kaunse channel mein yeh aa raha hai ?
"This is coming in Etv telegu ...was watching with my wife...saw u guys toh introduced all of u to her via TV hehehhe
Tell me kab khelne gayein thee..bahut video footage hai ..koi competition tha kya ?"
I was like battti gulll .... .I don't remember coming when they were talking the views toh i guess am not there in footage
No No i said ...we all went with friends to the new place....and they were shooting the way the ball is thrown toh i guess we were just seen in passing reference i think ....
"Well you guys are all seen in full reference and you all seem like pros :) good to see you all in extra currilar activities .hehehe
chalo then njoiii ...just thought would like to tell you that atleast some one saw the prog "
I was just in rewind mode thinking kiii uss dinn meine kya kapde pehene theey (typical girl thought ) and where was that camera.....
Kept the phone aside....
Took the landline to ring up my friends most of whom were there that day....
Now there are three classes of friends...
1) Like me and my roomies who stay together but do not have TV though cable connection ka jugad hai ;)
2) Friends who stay together but definately have TV and who are generally there to see TV
3) Friends who stay in hostel or with someone and TV is accessible but they are generally in office or no where near it.....
I called up my roomate...told her... arrey jaldee se kahi TV hai kya dekh apna footage aa raha hai :)
she was like itnee raat ko all neighbours sleeping
call our 2nd category friends....
Called up 2nd category of friends....took 2 sec to explain them ( i was breathless by then)
they asked very basic question telegu ke toh bahut se channel hai kaunsa waala
i told etv ...ok they said they will try to find out if they hav that....
1 saal se cable tha par kabhi telegu channel nahi dekhiii
toh ek maharashtrian, marwardi, mallu aur gujju milke dhoond rahein they usss channel ko
jab kii waha ka ek lauta teleguite was in office.....
then called up third category and kinda blurted out .....
toh bhai saheb is like pretty cool way mein
behen shannnti se bolo mujhe kuuch samaj nahi aa raha hai ...
i was like jaldee jao apne hostel ka TV on karo apna bowling ka footage aa raha hai telegu channel ETV mein
ur the only one who knws telegu....
search it and see it man.....
behen i am out on the road going to my friends place and far away from my hostel....
are u telling me that it is that day ka footage.....
by then i was kinda parched ...toh bol diya yup....
will get back with more details
the ek lauta teleguite and another of the 3rd category were there in another office ....via official chat unko bhi update kar diya tha
then before I could drink water... the 2nd category friends called up....
Tina everything is written in telegu yaar
can you get more details of the channel ...
I was like ab tak toh manager soo gayein honge
well in 2 channels we can see some documentary ..hope so there will be repeat telecast sumtime tomorrow or today later news broadcast....
Yea....i said...mujhe bhi dekhna thaa,,,,, :(
Will update once I get more details.....
chalo then keep surfing and take care ....
Good night... I said...
the excitement it generated lasted for quite a while and I remembered that it was abt two weeks back that we all had gone bowling....
Some of our batchmates had come down from chennai and pune....
Toh after a typical dhaba lunch what to do....
Koi movie toh release nahi hue
kya karein
then some one suggested that we could go bowling....as most of the public had not gone to the new bowling alley....
chalo decide kiya
and went ahead.....
the strong 15-16 strong contingent went to the place
keeping the fingers crossed kii it should not be crowded.....
two rinks were empty and we divided ourselves into two grps...
and got ready to bowl ahead.....
Some of our friends had just been to bangalore toh it reminded them of the bowling they did at Forum....
Of course yeh toh bowling alley was no where as compared to that.....
Each of us were honing our skillls plus playing as two teams.... with many inputs abt how to improve the play....
thats when we noticed tht there were a video shooting of all the bowling balls which crashed all the pins....
wow said public chalo pose maarke kartein hain ....
we continued with the game thinking the bowling alley waala shopkeeper was getting footage because of us....
then some friends of ours went and asked ....
those guys were like they were from ETV for a documentary on Youth and their pastimes....
we were like kyun chunna laga rahein ho...
lagta toh nahi hai and we continued and almost forgot abt them
once the game was finished each of us calculating who was first and with how many points each of us were far from the person who came first...
tht we decided bas ho gaya kahi aur jaate hai.....
when we were putting back our shoes .. removing the bowling shoes thats when the footage waala came back for some comments abt the youth .....
I was at the farthest corner and the last one getting up...so i was kinda blissfully missed out...
but the remaining of us gave one or two comments in chaste english...
then they were like if some one knows telegu it will be real good...
Hunted for the ek lauta person in our grp who knew decent telegu and woh bola no ways....
mere relatives hai yehan.....will really feel weird .....
Neways most of us thought kiii shayad yeh chunna laga raha hoga Reporter.....he had a mike though.....
And conveniently we forgot abt it....
So it came as a pleasant surprise that it actually did come up on TV
though it was a tradegy of sorts kii none of us saw the footage....
Neways kabhi toh TV pe aaye :))
All the above thought procedure did not take much long but to write it definately took longer....
For those of who ...who remember the weekend.......Hope this is one more way to remind you of that....
:)
Tak care and warm regards,
Tina........
P.S : Revamping the mailing list....mostlywill be stopping this junk mail service..much to the relief of many.... thanks for reading till now and haa bahut aatyachar sahien ho baba..ab aaram kar lo :)
