Truly Madly Deeply

>> Wednesday, December 22, 2004

Watched Swades last weekend. My first Hindi movie here in U.S. Here is what some of my friends had to say about the movie:

'Its preaching..!!'
'HaHa..movie..? its a documentry starring Shahrukh '
'hmm..yeah its different'
'I donno, I wasnt in a mood to watch a serious movie'
"It sucks"
"..not realistic"


There ought to be differences n I dont intend to argue over them at all!
I loved it.Yes !absolutely loved it. Though what I hated was the 'Oh!so you think You'd be able to go back to India?,lets see what you have to say in another two years' conversation which followed and still pops up whenever I even mention India . Come on Why ??

Its just thatI loved the movie and I love India truly madly deeply..!!

'A Classic tossed Salad'

>> Thursday, December 16, 2004

Had gone to the tech vs. James Madisson basketball game yesterday. It was the seventh consecutive win for GAtech,anyways this has nothing to do with my today's blog.

O.k so when were walking down to the stadium, my friends started the never ending debate over my marathi.(well yes its not good..!!),n I was arguing as usual. After they got done with all the speaking,out came my repartee:
' Ata mi tharavala aahe changli marathi bolayacha,now i'll only speak in marathi,munh kholoongi to sirf marathi'

Guess that explains everything,I have a serious problem with languages. 'A classic tossed salad' ,thats how I like to call the way I communicate.I never manage to complete one entire sentence in a single language,and am terrible at marathi pronounciations(my vocab is that way pretty good!) .

So Here are my most often used one-liners,none of them in one language I bet;-)

"are! you know kal kya hua...? "

"Mi tey kaam karun chukle.."(heehee..A literal translation of-'main woh kaam kar chuki hoon')

"tu wapas kadhi yenaar aahe"(I can never remember d rite word at dat moment-here i guess it was 'parat'.

"Aai mi tula photos forward karnar hote kaal but then I had to go to the library(or any other stupid excuse) ani nantar mi visarle."

"chal Gayatri let's go upar( upstairs I mean)"

"so u've read that book/been there/done that?... sahi hai na..!!"

k the next one's not me,but i find it really amusing. There's this friend of mine,when he is damn frustrated n wants somebody to shut up,He'll say "please ach"(ach as in kharach(meaning truly) )

how doest it matter anyway whichever language you speak in,as my friends always say:
"bas bhavana pochlya pahije"

heehee..so guys thats me n my classic tossed salad.

By the way, I LOVE SALADS !!!

"I am lovin it"

It was 4 below zero today.
The feeling, its just out of this world.Walking down the road with that cold breeze brushing past you,that thin sheet of ice on the grass,ears numb,hands and feet swollen.When that slight warmth from the headlights of an approaching vehicle, makes you feel so much better.

Hands tucked inside my jacket,I was enjoying every second of my first sub- zero experience.

yeah! this was 8.00 in the morning,n I was on my way to CATEA,got to work for another fifteen days.See I agree its biting cold,but atleast I am not complaining..!!

So guys winter's setting in,welcome it whole heartedly,its wonderful!

Al Pacino in the 'not so yellow stinger'

I invariably get these funny dreams when I go off to sleep at some odd hour, n surprisingly I seem to remember every bit of them.

Well this was last Sunday. I had just returned home after spending 2 entire hours at Kroger doing groceries for the week. I dozed off on the couch ,n I was already dreaming.
So here goes it...

It's a damp gloomy morning. Me n Gayatri are waiting for the 10.20 Kroger Shuttle. After 10 minutes of waiting in the rain,we see it coming, its not the usual Yellow stinger. We dont give it a damn though, n get inside.I see all sleepy faces around(Who likes to get up on a Sunday morning.!) I manage to find a seat at the back. I go and sit at the window, and guess whos sitting next to me? Al Pacino wearing that big Italian hat( whatever you call it..!!) and a black waistcoat!!wow..my day is made!! Hello..
where's Gayatri..? Oh who cares..!!

K. we start a conversation.He's also a tech student in the ISYE dept.I start telling him about my methods assignment(I still cannot figure out,of all the things why Methods? Its not that I have any special interest in that class,infact lately it has stared getting kinda boring..!!) Anyways,He is listening( Oh That smile I tell you.!!)

and there's this sudden jerk.. the bus comes to a halt.

I wake up,It's Rakshita trying to find her mobile phone on the couch..!!


Haa..haaa...It wasnt that funny but just seemed to remember it frame by frame..so decide to post it here...!!

Inferences:

Watching GodafatherII late at nite is not that good an idea.

Stop hanging around too much with your ISYE friends(All U guys reading it,it's just a blog;-))

The Kroger shuttle is a Georgia Tech YELLOW stinger,never ever try to climb anything else which looks seemingly different.



So, All u guys happy dreaming..!!

Too many !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>> Monday, November 22, 2004

Oh yes , I have this habit of putting an '!' after every sentence I type.Be it mails, blogs, chats, letters.....anything!!(Here they come again). U know what, in these 7 blogs which I have posted there are 34 of these exclaimatory marks. You can count them on your own(I did spend quite some time doing that!!)

We got our theory papers back today and I was not surprised. Prof. Elliot had managed to find a few inappropriately placed '!!s' in that paper too..!!

This habit of mine really becomes a big problem when I am writing a formal report or a memo.(Believe me, as anUrban Planning student,You are writing one every few hours!). Ever come across anybody who edits his paper for unwanted punctuation marks.?I do.

My friends have pointed this out to me many a times ..but then I always get away by saying :

"Oh c'mon That's my style!!"

All's well that ends well!!

>> Thursday, November 18, 2004

Oh what a day..!!
Well It did not begin that well though,had a test today. Am still not sure whether it went well or if I screwed it up.Then had a couple of hours before my next class, I tried doing my GIS assignment which I was avoiding for so long( n for no reason) . Finished a major chunk of it, and man am I relieved..!!

K. Then went to Chirayu's place after schhol. Both of us made Pulao n Aloo ki subzi for the evening's potluck.Oh did'nt I mention that? O.K We had the planning dept. dinner n wine party today,n I tell you we had a gala time.Imagine I shared the table with Dr. Ross,Dr.Contant and prof. Dobbins..!! It was fantastic. Had a small shot of wine ;-),n d 'vegen' cake that Dot made was just awesome,n not to miss the desserts and those cheesy baked dishes.

Oh no If you guys thinkin that I am being over excited about the party, thats not the case..
I am elated beacause I got to listen to Farida Khanum n Kinara n Libass songs..!! yes..wow that was so good...'Dil jalane ki baat karte ho'..waah kya gaana hai..!!

K so that is that..had a fine day..!!
No complaints today.

Sochoge ki kasi ladki hai? abhyi yeh abhi woh(thats if you read my yesterday's blog!!)
But thats how I am..!!

Who cares about the title?

>> Wednesday, November 17, 2004

Its been 4 months here..

Lately I've started gettin this wiered feeling. I cannot describe it but its damn depressing. Had a talk with Vrunda today,She too feels the same..!!

What is it? semester end? Too much of work?Missing home?The 'What am I doing here?' question that pops up every three days?The fact that I am 23 now n all my friends back there in India are getting married(c'mon Vani you were never concerned about trivial matters like marriage!!),That I'd be able to visitIndia only in December 2005,That my engineering friends would get into the industry with offers no less than 60K,n what do I expect? a starting salary of 30?( Oh there again,Did'nt you always used to say-Money? who cares about that?)That probably I'll never be able to be the same Vani for my parents gain,That I think i've been stranded,That everybody misses me terribly back at home,That I've changed so much since I came here...!!



huhh...I really dont know whats happening!! But I'll be able to get over it.(Hopefully..!!)

Dont think things are bad otherwise.
