Fi(a)tness!!!!

lucky garfield...

but i'll have to start aerobics from tomorrow...

the whole world around me is giving me 'looks'...

sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when we look back the path we've traversed....

We are filled with regrets…
For things not done…
For words not said…
For love not shown…
For dreams not accomplished...

but…………………
Can the unsaid words do as much damage as the words that were out…
don’t we wish we hadn’t spoken few words at times????
don’t we all regret for the love that we’ve shown??
don’t we wish for if some dreams were left as dreams alone???

got tagged.........

Here is the “I want/can/can’t-do” list of things as of today… It has 7 +/- something in each list, and no order of preference...

Do Deewane 'UDUPI' mein....

Yuppiiieeeeeeeeeeeeee :D
I had a gala time over the last weekend :D… Went to Udupi in the name of Bha’s wedding… After the wedding ceremony which was there on Friday morning, loafed around royally with nichu….
Highlights of the trip were…

Sitting on the rock in KAUP beach...










admiring the sun and bidding adieu to him...











Great minds at work, spending 1 hour in the hot sun in Murudeshwar beach on some creative stuff(:p) like this... (Ya, and not forgetting to mention that we got tanned royally :- )










Annadatha sukheeebhava... WOW! what a lovely fooooooood we had :D [here special thanks should go to GOLIBAJE, and GADBAD :D]....











Admiring the nature in her different attires...

Be it this..

this...

or, this...

ohhh!!! last 3 days was just out of the world... I was badly longing for a change and this one was really rejuvenating :D... Cameras cannot capture everything as against our minds...and those things will prevail with me forever...

She earns more than him…..

Ya......, are we okey with it?? Yes??????? No????????????
Here is an excerpt of the conversation between me and one of my good oooooooooooold friends….hmm, lets name him Mr.calvin (ya, this guy resembles calvin in many ways except that this he doesnt hate girlzzzzzzzzzzzz.......infact....., oh, ya, lemme take it some other day ;-)..)
Calvin: so, wt do u think about this topic khushi?
Me: Me??????? I would not mind dear, but I feel and as far as I’ve seen it’s the male ego, which will not let them accept that their wife earns more than them..
Calvin: Male Ego??! Why is it that U feel men can be stereotyped?! I do understand if someone has been really competitive throughout his life it will be difficult for him to let his wife steer the ship! But if he has loved her ……. I guess these things disappear!!
Me: Dear, its not stereotyping, but we generalize our opinions based on our observation in and around what we see. And ‘generally’ guys would not want their wife to earn more than what they do. Mebbe u don’t come under this ‘general’ category of people, and hence u can’t relate to it.
Don’t u see so many women in our middle class society have turned into housewives just to serve the ‘male ego’ of their husbands that he can take care of his family and he doesn’t ‘need’ the woman of the house to work.
Calvin: Generalization is purely based on the kind of people we come across!! Hence it need not represent the true picture. Its like a survey. A statistic say 1 out of 6 people smoke, does that mean if 6 people are standing definitely one will have to be a smoker??! I am just driving a point! To satisfy the male ego women are made to sit at home! Yeah, its possible! But listen, marriage is not slavery. A woman should have a mind of her own. Her spouse is just an intimate friend to her, Not her master! In case the woman wants to work, she can have her way! I think a woman should be independent enough to take care of herself!!
Me: Sh, I know there are “some” men, but when we talk about in general, we talk about the majority. I’m not talking about any “calvin’s” here. And do u really think women are given enough freedom to decide about their career or their life?? Which world do u live in dear? We are in a society where even today we have many houses where in the husband decides the color of the saree the wife wears. Okey, forget about such cases, lets take an example.
Say, If the husband gets a long term onsite assignment, which he considers to be the BEST THING that can happen in his life, his wife automatically will have to leave her job, her career, and go behind him and settle whichever part of the world he goes. If she is lucky enough she can have the work permit and start hunting for a job afresh, or if she’s on a dependent visa, she can be a sophisticated housewife, to cook his favorite food and produce some kids. But please tell me how many instances we find where the guy goes behind the girl resigning his job? ..
And the conversation continued and it turned into a discussion rather than a debate which is what we always land up in...
But the gist is that,
We are in this system and some things never change…
And I don’t understand, why does society assume that women only respect men who earn more than them?
Should respect be the result of money?
And why do people think that he can’t be a good husband if he can’t take care of her needs?? Boss, monetarily speaking, she can survive on her own, but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t look upto him.. She does rely on him for lot of other things which really matter to her…
People will even understand if the spouses earn the same salaries, but the woman earning more than the man... that's sacrilegious!
Hmmmmpppphhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I donno why...

Someone is bothering me…
And I know it’s me…
Is it coz of my fears?
Is it coz I’m too much wrapped in my thoughts?
Is it coz I'm drowning too much in my own tsunami of emotions?
Is it coz i'm having fever, and feeling physically/mentally very weak?
Life was so simple before, have I complicated it myself?
Donno y I just feel like crying when Enrique is screaming ‘I donno why, I just love to see you cry’ at the top of his voice…..…….. :(

'Deepa'vali....

3 days at home for the festival of lights!!!
Diwali is the festival which spreads the flame of happiness all over and is celebrated with lot of fun... its a time to exchange gifts...a time to have lots of sweets keeping aside the worries about callories(arrey, diwali hai bhai, it comes once a year!!!),
Usually My Diwali's dont go as happy as any other festivals...Most of the times I'll be drowning in some thoughts when people around me are having fun with crackers and lights...and this year was no different...the thoughts of comparison between my arjun and the real ones was breaking my hopes into peices...was finding difficulty in accepting realities..many other thoughts were pondering in mind... Mom had prepared lots of grub, and I was least bothered about eating them(yes you read it right, very less i'll use this 'least bothered about eating' line :))
But this diwali ended differently..I went to the balcony around 9 in the night with my walkman after convincing mom that i'll be careful with rockets...This is the place where i feel my best... me and my solitude :).... It was slightly drizzling... Moon was absent in the star studded sky.... radiocity was playing all my favourite numbers for a change... and last but not the least there was amazing fireworks... they were really colourful, sparkling, dazzling beauties... It was as if someone is bursting all these just for me and just to make me smile :)..... I was always against 'crack'ers... I used to feel its a waste of money.... but then i realized this is the colourful way of burning your money ;-)
Happy Diwali to all :0)
