Guess who got I.N.K.E.D ?!

Meeeeeeeeeee!!!! :)

18-06-2010... Thats the date thats going to remain etched in my memory forever...even if hypothetically i want to forget it... my TATTOO wont let me!

Yes! finally got myself one! A Phoenix ! Love it!

Now for the whole hue and cry about how painful it was! Yeah! All you sissys who said its hurts! Boo! :) Just kidding..;)

It hardly hurt... For all the women.. just multiply the pain 7 times to that of how it feels when you go waxing to the salon!

The artsist .. who for security reasons (my own) ;) .. i dont wanna name.. was a man filled with attitude..

rather for nothing!

For some reason .. these tattoo artists .. ive met a few ..have trucks of attitude...i wonder why!

I mean .. yeah they are good with their hands.. no doubt.. but then whats one losing in being humble..

Yeah.. we can trace and draw too.. but unfortunately we humans happen to trust someone else with this rather than ourselves

.. what to do! We are like that only ;)

But yea... thank you to him for a wonderful piece of art on my forehand which i am going to cherish for life..

My most prized possesion..:) .. after the husband ofcourse ;)

Of Innocence Lost and Found...

An evening trip to the local grocery store... brought back fond memories of my childhood....

Watched 2 little boys.. all of around 6 -7 years of age...come into the shop... and look around with hopeful eyes..for a particular packet of chips which has those small little toys inside them....

I had sudden flashes of how my brother and I used to rush into shops just like that and do the very same thing...

After around 5 minutes of looking around..arguing which one to buy..from the flavour to the colour of the packet... about how each one knew which is the better one to buy .. they finally agreed upon one particular packet and bought it!

Counting the coins they had.. which came up to an exact amount for that packet.. they proudly handed them over to the shopkeeper and looked thrilled with their purchase...

They could not hold their excitement back and opened the packet right then n there....and Lo! Behold! What an achievement! They jumped and danced and sang with sooo much happiness that people around looked as to what had happened... but all everyone could do was ....smile... :) at their innocence....
They had got the same toy which they had anticipated.. and were thrilled to bits!!

Loved watching them .. as they cycled off into the alley near by...
Brought back such lovely memories... of Innocence lost....and now found!!! :):

Of Evening turning into Night....

The view from my living room .... As i watched the skies fall asleep....

Of Raindrops...Romance and Chai!

I hear thunder , I hear thunder , oh don't you? oh don't you?... Pit-a-patter raindrops, Pit-a-patter raindrops.. I'm wet through...I'm wet through....

Yes! Looks like the monsoons have arrived and I couldn't be more glad to get respite from the biting heat...

I know dark clouds are apparently supposed to be disturbing for some... but it does just the opposite for me...
As i sit by my 8th floor balcony and watch them gather on the horizon... its gives me such a sense of calm.....sense of peace...within...I can literally see the silver lining on each cloud... :)



In my opinion, it is also the most romantic of all four seasons we have in our incredible country....
It definitely sometimes takes water to ignite a fire! ;)

I have very fond memories of the monsoon of 2009....long drive to Lonavala... sudden heavy downpour ..being stuck in a traffic jam...n while being stuck in the jam .. my husband now....but .. mind you ,  my closest buddy then....singing to me .. making the rains seem even more beautiful and me in my mind thanking God for the traffic jam!! :P

Well then, all you people... here's to the monsoons that have been and monsoon that will be!
Looking forward to creating many more memories to deposit in my bank of  "My most cherished memories" !

Cheers! (with chai and bhajiyas) ;)

Of Confessions ... ;)

Of Love ,Rape and Dhoka...

Every other morning , the newspapers carry news which tell tales of young girls being in intimate relationships with men who promise to marry them and then eventually don't...
These young pretty young things go straight to the police and lodge complaints against those men....

What i refuse to understand is what was she thinking when she was having a good time with him?
Women who are above 18 , i am sure understand the implications of such promises and relationships...
Its not like they have been forced into the anything...its their own free will ..they enjoy every bit of it... and when things don't turn in their favor they report the matter to the police and term it as "rape"......Unfair i think!

Yes we live in a society which always gives the benefit of doubt to the woman.. and i don't think i am complaining, being a woman myself... but there should be limitations of taking advantage of the same...

It is sad that relationships do break... things happen...life moves on...but... you cannot go to the "police" for that!!

Love Sex and Dhoka has very conviniently turned to Love "rape" and Dhoka!

Unfair .. Unfair....
