wut an idea sir ji !!

i just loved the idea mobile advt on "batien karne ke liyeh basha ki jaroorat nahi hoti" ( loosely translated : you dont need to understand the launguage to communicate with eachother)

this reminds me of the incident my mother narrated to me long back, since my parents are bengali when they came to bombay 35 years back, ma did not know a single word of hindi and baba's vocab was bare minimum but ma and her two neighbours one maharashtrian and other south indian too dint have a common language but would have animated discussions whenever the ladies had time....

its amazing that we can communicate not just with other humans but also animals and plants without knowing their language and yet we refuse to communicate at times with our loved ones...

at home too we celebrate ganapati durga puja christmas with the same zeal and freak out on da biryani we get at friends over eid......

so in this case food knows no language ... ha ha

our ganapati this year

tick tock ...big talk !!!

i love to read quotes everyday.. and each time i read a beautiful line, i am amazed at the wit .. sometimes the wisdom and yet other times the pain behind a sentence that either tells a story and yet makes you laugh .. some make you sit back and think and realize the thought could not be better communicated and yet others awaken you to a new world of thoughts ..... ya quotes really make me want to be one the people who would be made alive through the smiles. the thoughts. the tears, the empathy of others from time to time..... 

but honestly i hate the preachy kind of quotes teaching the value of time...  of course time is ticking away and we need to make good use of it but talking about accounting for seconds even with the poetic or quotic license is like going tooo far .... come on.. 

thank god then the people dint know bout nano second else in the quotes they would ask us to keep track of that too....

and how much time is wasted in keeping track...... so how do i make use of the time ?

simple.. sit back .. relax .. do what your heart tells mostly and other times listen to your head.... even if odds r against you... u become more odd and beat it in its game.....

i think life is not how you make it or what you do with it... its more about what you discover and what you learn and know what to unlearn... you waste time but gain wisdom... you make little more but gain peace.. 

i think a person is successful and accomplished in life only when you give more than you recieve and yet know you have more to give ...

some day i sure will get there... am not in a rush to climb up the ladder ..i know i will stay up long ...  am not scared to fall ..  as i know the path up again.... while i go ... i learn to learn more ... while i go i learn to give more .... while i go i enjoy the while i am here ... while i go i smell the road... while i go i know you are there by my side ......

hafta wasuli !!!

dexy has a fixed quota when it comes to food. meaning his breakfast consists of 4 breads and 1 cup milk and 4 marei biscuits followed by lunch of chicken and rice and he repeats the same for evening snack and dinner.

but the moment he sees any of us eating his favourite food (2 blog post or mayb more could b dedicated to that list !!!) he would not leave us unless we offer him his share.....

the way he does his hafta wasulii with those lovely eyes and "o am so cute" pose is so heart warming that i am the first to give into this emotional atyachaar and my bro would yell at me for spoiling him.

well if devil had a cute face it would be dexter and if munna bhai could learn something more about "emotional hafta wasuli" again dexter would be his mentor .....

coz its cold in bombay coz of the rains, his new fav snoozing adda is our couch .... hail dexter !!
