over the last couple of weeks i met two friends i haven't seen in over six years, found a new friendship that I hope will last as long... and the long conversations just reminded me why exactly we need friends - over and above all other relationships in life...this is for my friends - the ones i found, those who are still around and those who have moved on... my life would not be the same without

But I have been reading a lot – through my random walks through blogo-sphere.Ankur’s post prompted me to respond – what else can egg on a b-school student more than borrowed CP! Well Ankur, I more or less agree with what you say (except that I don’t quite mind Kingfisher food – and obviously don’t have the same motives for catching an aisle

Thats why I am making this post...I have zero communication skills...No one can understand what I am about...And even fewer people really care to find out...Some attempt to inform me that I am screwed up (as if I didnt already know) and that I have a huge ego - ha ha ha!!!!Someday they will all know... that there'something that lies beyond the surface... and when they know that they'll understand

I am missing winter. In Chennai, Christmas is just another hot, sunny day. I want nothing more than to snuggle in a razai while the sun fights to emerge from the dense fog. I want to bask in the Sky sun in the couple of afternoon hours when you can offload the layers of woollens to make a comfortable pillow. I want to warm my frozen fingers by feeling the warmth of a tall glass tumbler that has

Love, in general, is an oft used, oft abused word. I believe it was originally used to describe the bond one shared with family or god. But nowadays its used quite loosely- like "I love Tom Cruise", or " I love that car " ... hence it has become imperative that certain prefixes or suffixes be added to the word in order to convey its exact usage.Romantic love- which is the most commonly used

Am leaving for Mumbai for the weekend - done with my day's work and just waiting for time to pass before I can leave for the airport. So thought I'd drop by a post. For quite some time now - ever sice i changed jobs - I have spent several hours in office doing nothing. Nothing productive that is. Reminds me of the time when we are HP Labs - where we personified vettiness! You really need to come

The two movies I saw this weekend were both very well made movies- but neither deserves more than a couple of lines from me.. so here goesMaine Gandhi Ko Nahi Maara: Extremely interesting subject, wonderful performances from all involved, would have preferred more emphasis on the implicit murder of the father of the nation. Brought back fond memories of Hindi literature - especially this man.

I do not usually write in blank verse, because it is a form i don't quite understand-especially what is the difference between broken phrases of prose and what can actually be classified as poetry. The theme may appear juvenile , but comments on that are not invited. Would rather like to discuss about the technicalities of form, and since a lot of literature students have been reading my blog

These guys seem to have a good idea. I know it isn't practical, and probably will never work out. But i believe unless you try to make something work, you have no right to criticise that it doesnt. For if all the people who doubt become believers then there will be no opposition. These are some of my thoughts on the matter - might sound foolishly idealistic - but this is what they are:I believe

Last weekend I ended up watching two movies - both at Sathyam Cineplex which is by far the only decent place to watch movies in Chennai (unless you go to Mayajaal which is way ouside the city). Anyways, normal weekend crowd in Sathyam, ensured that the only movie we could find tickets for was 'Malaamal Weekly'. None of us really wanted to see it, but we guessed it would be Ok, timepass.

Sunday evening.. someone sends a message - "Australia raped SA - they made 434/4".Initial reaction: Shocking.. but then its Australia. I mustn'e be surprised. Still, I logged into CrisInfo to see who did the damage. The name of Ricky Ponting, and the score of 164 didnt leave a good feeling in my stomach. The Aussie captain is not one of my favourite cricketers.I stayed logged on and watched the

Saturday morning we set off for Mekedatu (Kannada for Goat’s leap), which is about 100 Km from Bangalore. We included Aditi and Vasuta (my flatmates), Ishita, Adhyaas, Vivek and Inder (Vasuta’s PS mates from Intel) and Shaili (Inder’s wife).The morning drive was pretty uneventful with the usual round of jokes and songs happening.

A beautiful day in Bangalore city... the weather is at its best. It rained last night and there was a slight hint of a drizzle when I stood in the balcony brushing my teeth this morning...oooooooh! There’s a nip in the breeze and all I wanna do know is go for a picnic lunch...actually the weather's been nice the last few days but I’ve been too caught up in work to notice... finished making the

been wanting to do this for quite some time - finally yday i took the plunge...got my hair streaked - red ... well burgundy actually..First the Good parts1. The entire procedure took less than an hour2. I managed to wriggle out a Student discount and got a free haircut thrown in3. I DO NOT look like an item girl wannabe4.

Well its 19 days since i last update dmy blog... have been busy - yes.. but thats just an alibi...been wanting to sit down and write about lotsa things , but somehow it just hasnt happened...here's a brief summary of stuff i've wanted to blog about (now i'm just putting in abstracts) in the last 19 days...1. We were doing some focus group studies last month - we did them in mumbai, pune and

still have a hangover from last night.. it wasnt the alcohol(of which there was hardly any- coz after the concert i was already on a high)-but the music thats haunting my soul. whatever i say will be redundant and whatever has been said somehow doesnt convey what i felt. pure unadulterated magic-no frills attached. Knopfler is the man!

was listening to a song form pardes and it struck me that subash ghai's movies after that , namely "taal", "yaadein" and "kisna" were all big flops - point to be noted they didnt have a heroine whose name began with M...so maybe there just is a case for superstition here...thinking of heroines whose name begins with M that subash ghai cud use to break his jinx - i cam eup with just one killer -

i was pleasantly surprised that some one put up a link to my blog and called me "The Introspective Chitra". Re-reading my recent posts i realised that i had indeed been dwelling too much on the inside. so here's looking out..i am essentially a non-political person - but this hilarious article about "democracy" had me rotfl - if u have no idea what that was supposed to mean . np - next post

On lonely days and lonely nightsA voice keeps me company,It tells me of wrongs and of rightsAnd keeps away melancholy.We talk of dreams still untold,And of those weathered by time;Of those filled with moments gold,And those that weren't worth a dime.We recall the busy chatter That we heard on a city street,The lights, the cars, and the clatterof high-heeled shoes on busy feet.We talk of people

the only movie reviews i have ever written have been in school. hence this shall be a new experience.i finally saw Black on Sunday, a week after the rest of the world. which meant that i had already heard every sort of view about it- form the "it's the best film ever made" (arjun) to "omg, painful!" (my sis). the general opinion was that it was a "decent flick". i had really high expecttaions

everyone who knows me admits that i am a very emotionally confused person. my moods swing like a rollercoaster and my relationships read like a soap opera script! and no, i am not proud of it... i'd love to have a simple life too; but fate works according to greater whims.being "involved" with quite a few people with varying degrees of commitment (from crush to confidante to lover and more) at

At Evening Let me now sleep, let me not think, let me Not ache with inconsistent tenderness. It was untenable delight; we are free-- Separate, equal--and if loverless, Love consumes time which is more dear than love, More unreplicable. With everything Thus posited, the choice was clear enough And daylight ratified our reckoning. Now only movement marks the birds from the pines; Now it's dark;

of late a lot of people have asked me what kind of a job i would like. and since it seemed like a logical continuance to the last post here goes: i have a few basic requirements out of a job i take up 1. free net 2. free food 3. free transport these 3 things would take care of my so called "minimum requirements" or as Hertzberg put it - dissatisfiers - (their presence does not give me any

I went to Hosur (not once but twice) in the last week – on work. The trip wasn’t too exciting and there’s not much to talk about it. However it did reveal some things about me that I wasn’t fully aware of before. I like traveling by road – if I didn’t I couldn’t have survived all those? Haryana Roadways rides from Pilani to Delhi and back. I don’t mind any sort of road, even if it’s a dirt track

went out with my sis and bro-in-law to nanadi hills on saturdya. it was a pretty eventful drive... the road was ok for the most bit but at places it cjhanged into complete dirt track! also they were these farmers in multiple places who had strewn hay all across the road, so that it would get threshed when the cars would go over it! free fo rthem, but hurtful to the cars! we got tons of hay stuck

thats the title of the book i am reading presently! its written by Thomas L. Friedman, the foreign affairs correspondent of the NY Times. its about globalisation and how its important to understand the way this new system (that replaced the cold war) functions and how we need to understand the big picture in order to make intelligent investments in this changing world. seems interesting, but its

went to barista in nungambakkam today.. very sad place.. in fact most coffee places nowadays have completely lost their charm. though i must admit the marketing guys come up with new ideas all the time. on offer today were the "new" flavors of coffee with an essence of alcohol- just glamorising the usual irish/jamaican brews. needless to say they tasted awful! reminded me of my fav coffee place

was forced by my mom to help her do some spring cleaning (december is pretty much spring in chennai). had to decide which of my old clothes i was going to give away for they had created quite a huge pile in the house... as i was sortng out the clothes i kept thinking of the times i had worn them.. i still have this skirt i bought way back in class 2!~ and surprise, surprise i still fit into it!

I am one of those people who believe strongly that an individual can never be bigger than an organisation. The power of collective effort always supercedes individual brilliance. I also believe that not all people truly appreciate the value of synergy. No, I am not trying to throw together a few catchwords in order to sound impressive. This is something I have really experienced. The reason all

I guess I should thank lady luck for all the friends I have all over the world- who adore me for my idiosyncrasies and put up with my impossible demeanour. Also I must put forth my greatest condolences to all those who have told me over the years that if I do not conform to some sort of herd mentality then I will find myself all alone.
