Moving

Of all the ho-hum works in life, One among the top-10 is moving...Its really boring to pack everything into boxes, unpack again, settle down...Of course, lesser the luggage,lesser the work..But athu ennaikku nammakku theriya poguthu...vangum pothu naalla thaaan irukkku!!!

Even during my school days, as my father worked in bank, we used to move once in every 5 years...My parents did the whole job, I used to be just excited that we are moving to new home...Next when I moved to college, my whole family packed for me...right from bucket to slippers, they got it, packed it..And every year in 4 years, we need to shift rooms and so we need to pack our items...But its all sweat free work...

But now, its the first time, I am going to do it...To start with, I have packed our clothes...Anyhow Saturday is the D-day...And No internet access from tomorrow until next Tuesday...So no updates until then...

On a different note, One of my friends is getting married and I am going to miss the fun too...
Congratulation buddies!! One more wicket down in our group!!

For the first time I have been tagged....by hastobeme.... So here it goes from a sincere student....

Name 10 of life's simple pleasures that you like the most and then pick 10 people to do thesame (optional). Try to be original and creative and no to use the things someone else has already used.Here they go.......

1. Whenver I am appreciated by people, for small things that I notice and do for them .


2. Whenver I eat dairy milk (especially when I am depressed).

3.Get a reply for my mail from friends...especially from friends who check mails once in blue moon

4. When somebody tells I have reduced my weight ...(It happens only once in a while :))

5. Switch On the TV when there is a favourite movie/song of mine is being telecasted..(which I did not know earlier)


6. Whenver I did projects for my sis, it made me happy...After completing the project , I would be like a godmother for her..I still remember the day I did biology projects for her..:)

7. To wipe the dust..I jus like it when it gets wiped out....

8. See a girl driving a hummer/SUV...

9 . Whenever I get a coffee in morning...I jus don't like to make coffee for myself immediately after getting out of my bed...so Weekends, Its always my husband's turn to make coffee.

Conversation-1

On the first day when I met my manager,

M: Did somebody hit you on your head?
Me:(had a blank face, didn't know what he meant)....hmmm....what?
M: You have something red on your forehead....I thought ur team mates hit you on ur first day? ....
Me: ?!!?!!!

By the way he meant the kumkum in my forehead.....

These people do have nice sense of humor, but Gosh, I donno how to react to these statements.....

P.S. On a different topic, My posts have crossed 50...test batsman mathiri ninnu ninnu runs eduthutu irukken :)

New year resolutions

With Tamil new year coming up, I have been thinking of resolutions to follow..Ok here it goes...

Try to be an early riser...As I have said earlier, I am a night bird, This is a habit I am trying to inculcate in me since long time, but again I would add it to my list

Try to be more organized...Though I try to finish things at time, I don't do it in an orderly way...One of my friends has been a source of inspiration to me for being more organized..He is an epitome of perfection!!!

Help CRY...Actively participate rather than donate...I have been reading about CRY recently a lot and I would like to be a part of it!!!

Try to write my expenses in a notebook or probably in excel!!!!...I have not maintained an expenses account at all, but I feel I need to start it sooner....

Possibily try to grow few indoor plants!!

Would give up chocolates(I know I am not eating a lot nowadays but still)....this is surely on my to-do list always

Would try to be more patient and to nag less!!!(One of my worst qualities)

Though the list is quite lengthy, I am going to follow it ...

Early bird Or Night bird ?

"Early to bed and early to rise
makes Jack healthy, wealthy & wise"

This is what my father used to say in the mornings when I refused to get up from the bed.
I always like to work/study at nights.I can stay awake until 3 am, but If I need to get up at 3 am , its the most irritating activity for me.Though I love the slight chillinesss of mornings , I love the morning sleep more..kaalaiyil poorvaikkuL thungkuRa sugam irukkee...koodi koduththaalum kidaikkaathu...

I used to be always a night owl during school and college...study when everybody is sleeping. The deep silence of night is also wonderful time to study, but my father used to say the productivity is more during early hours, U can study fast.I used to set alarms at night like the father's girl, Goddamn I hate them when they scream ,breaking the silence of mornings.I used to hit the snooze button hard and me back to my sleep.This would continue the next day also...Old habits die hard, isnt it ...thats the exact justification I used to give!!!

Are u all early riser or night bird?

Countdown begins

My days in this house will come to an end in few more weeks or so...By end of April/May I would be moving to new house...Its a good bye to the beautiful garden apartments,its a good bye to the old couple who stays near my house,its a good bye to carefree lifestyle !!!..So as everything is coming on the way, I or rather Param should make arrangements now to disconnect and pay final bills for electricity, cable ,phone and arrange for connections on the other hand.

On the other hand, after 6 months break(these 6 months have been quite positive for me though boring at times, I have learnt few things like cooking, housekeeping..donno if I would have shown the same interest to learn, had I not taken a break), I am going to join the new job, new place, new faces and I am quite anxious about how things are going to shape...

Fools day- I have my own reason to celebrate

Time has really really flown in the last one year...Its exactly 1 whole year since I and Param met...Last year, same day I met him for the first time. Ours was a typical arranged marriage and he came to "see" me :-D. Now he has to see me everyday whether he wants to or not :-D. He answered all the questions from my relatives and I was sitting next to my father, quite in a blank mood, Everything went on well and He said Yes..My father asked me if I was OK with the proposal, but I was stumped, I didn't know whether to say Yes or No..Something inside my heart said Yes and I said Yes...(though i really did not know what I wanted at that time) ...And then we started a relationship which is getting better by days...
