Over the past 7-8 years I have developed this knack for handling vivas, its a challenge for me to have one better than the last one. Post ending exams, prelims, university exams……

Today was sort of antithesis, a viva, rather an interview which was not upto my “Varsha Standards”. My DA exam viva was good, rocking good actually. This was rock bottom!!

Hope I do better next time…….and seize the next opportunity

I know I am late, but what an amazing movie!! Awesome songs, music, direction, actors, story…everything. The movie has it all in a short span without too many unnecessary details. A landmark movie in the Marathi commercial cinema which has just recently managed to get out of raunchy senseless and repetitive humour..

Spellbound!!

yummy. Ate yummy Vada Pav and Pani Puri!!

Yay Yay

Sorry, this is not blog material, I may be sound like I am updating my facebook profile!!

…for an upcoming interview!!

The uncertainty is here. All the while I was eagerly awaiting the day when I finish my DA and embark on a new journey…my future education. Now that my exam is through, suddenly I feel lost. Qualified yes, confident…well quite. Future, not dark but hazy.

While I was still in Nair, the future was still as hazy as it is now. But atleast I belonged somewhere. Now while my security blanket of belonging is gone, the vision ahead is not clear…atleast not yet.

If someone were to ask me what is one thing that I most want right now, covet the most right now is the knowledge and assurance that my chance to further education is secured. That I would get into a good institute for my DNB as soon as possible. That all will be fine and I won’t be left groping about in the dark. Life has given me all that I have wanted, always after a small wait, as a surprise when things seemed not to be going too well. Is this one more of those times……..iska jawab to samay hi dega!!

Now that a part of my exams, that is the theory is done, I’m just counting days when this phase of my life gets done and the next one begins.

I am already busy making plans how I want to spend my new found freedom post exam! As always, I have HUGE larger than life plans….those which would keep me busier than residency. And as always, I’m sure most of those will fizzle out! Over the years, you get to know yourself better, don’t you?

But one plan I intend to stick to firmly is blogging with utmost regularity. So if you are reading this, keep tabs on my progress!!

Well DA at fag end…..just a last few days of college and then I am relieved for my studies. Nervous, about impending exams, about the fact that soon, once again i will be licenced to “kill”. Cannot believe its been 2 years already. Will miss my friends, the fun of college life……

Visited a “Tea Lounge” at Vile Parle. Long ago I had spoken of a place I love, Tea Centre at Churchgate. This place too is good. Tea accompaniments are pricey. I tried the mint tea……one pot is good for 2. The taste was just about fine. Couldn’t match the mint tea at TC. But a refreshing change to have a tea lounge over a coffee shop I feel. For tea lovers like me more so.

Moms not too well. Need prayers for her.

There was so much I wanted to blog about, but the moment I log on my mind just blanks off!! Why???

Aiseich ek post….

Sunday, Dasara off and a leave on tuesday due to a family emergency….boy have I postponed my Monday morning blues to Wednesday!

Dasara wishes to everyone…..

This year the lazy girl didn’t do anything she was supposed to do for Dasara, which she has been doing since ages, the celebration which braved 4 years of hostel just to be left when the girl was not on call, not tired and very much at home…tch tch….a very bad girl, a little sorry and guilty girl.

Saw “Whats your Rashee”. Was expecting the rashi kanyas to be atleast a bit like the rashee they were portraying but that was not the case, or atleast not very obviously so….Songs were too many and non hummable. Characters were well portrayed and direction was good. Like all Ashoutosh Gowarikar films, the cinematography was terrific but the movie was painfully long (a la Jodha Akbar, Lagaan and Swades. All loooong but well shot) For the actors, a fly won’t fly off Harman’s face. Priyanka was good and versatile. All the Gujjus were convincing. The detective bit was totally not needed. If you can sit in a place for 4.5 hrs straight then the movie is fine for a one time watch (Although Jiju, Radhika and Nagesh so hated the movie). Seats in Big Cinema at (the premium once we had taken ) were not exactly comfortable. Hope the message gets to Anil Bhai.

At the end of this post it just struck me that I have watched each one of AG film in a movie hall. Record of sorts considering I rarely ever watch movies , lesser so at the theatres.

In just one week, I managed to make a massive mess in my simple life…
First, I drown my dear mobile phone in water

Then, in my attempts to dry it, I lose my 2gb memory card which had a lot of interesting pics I had taken and very smartly not made a back up of on my PC.

Then since I do not have an extra CDMA handset, I move to a GSM number which I have and use my old Nokia handset for the same, the charger of which I manage to drop and break.

Somewhere while this all was happening I lose my nice not too old Titan Raaga watch and don’t even remember where I lose it……

Then after one busy call where I work straight for 20 hours, I “oversleep” (3.5 hrs instead of the only 2.5 hours limit I had to show up in OT on time) much to the disappointment of my seniors….

Sigh

I NEED A BREAK!! And a new phone………..

TEA!
Not too strong, not too mild, steaming hot, flavoured or plain sometimes, almost unsweetened and best made by Aai or me…..
Loved the mint tea and lemon grass tea I had today at Resham Bhavan’s Tea Centre. Pricey at Rs.40 a cup but absolutely fabulous.
At college I love the tajmahal tea bag tea which lady at the vending machine has learnt to make just the way I like. And the best part is that her machine runs till 1.00 am…..good when I am out on some night calls…

MUSIC
Be it my phone or my Sony Walkman mp3 player….cannot imagine enduring the train journey without the music, or FM.
Sounds something like this

Main to jantar se hi darta hu,
Bass pyaar ka mantar karta hu,
Inn chakkar mein naa padta hu,
Hai rabba yeh kya ho gaya?

“Arey jagah do na andar janeko……”

Main to haar gaya kambakkht ishq,
Mujhe maar gaya kambakkht ishq,
Hai rabba yeh kya ho gaya?

“Maine pehle jagah boli thi…..woh 4th pe”

You’re my baby, but you are driving me crazy, crazy girl,
You’re my baby, but you are driving driving driving

“tumahri galti hain…..mereko taney mat maro, samazta hain muzko bhi”

You’re my baby, but you are driving me crazy, crazy girl,
You’re my baby, but you are driving driving driving…………..

MEETING THE GALS
Can’t imagine not meeting my gals and chatting with them. May happen just 1-4 times a year but each meet is something I look forward to and can’t miss for anything in the world. We shop, sometimes dine,but mostly hang out at cafes and share coffee and life…..

MOM
Mums the best. Need I say more?

NAGESH

SLEEP
My 40 winks, my recharge for the day. The thing I love to do the most any time of the day. Max I have slept is 16 hours straight after my 2nd MBBS Microbiology practicals, which had been a very taxing exam

BOOKS
Novels, short stories, classics, my text books. Feel incomplete without a book in my hand. Or in my bag. Or by my bedside. Love buying them, reading them, gifting them and hate sharing them with anyone.
