:)
Life is, after all, very much like a thriller book.
Its really exciting to find out that you predicted it right.
Its exciting. I am happy.
Just two days ago, I struck this realization that I've let it go. And today, a Facebook update made me happy. So happy.
I might just cry out of happiness :) Welcome baby Adah. Even though, they might not want to call you Adah any more.
I might never see you, hold you, hug you or buy you pretty presents as much I want, but I have this love for you. I really do not know why. I just have :)
And no, I wont be the creepy anonymous psycho someone who keeps sending you gifts just because.
Here, this one is for you baby. Only for you. :)

Its December!
My favorite month of the year? Kind of yes and kind of not. Another year came to an end, and analyzing what the year did to me- this is the part which I don't like much.
What I like about it is, Winters. Yes. My second favorite season of the year. Not year, well, it actually overlaps two years. So my second favorite season as such after monsoons of course.
So winters are officially here. I woke up this morning, to a cloudy and foggy and chilly weather. A very winter-ish morning, first of the season. I smiled. As if God followed calender religiously and knew, it is December, so fill the colors accordingly. November's last morning yesterday, was comparatively sunny.
Also, it was a fulfilling morning. I finished the one month challenge last night, I took up on the fiction Blog, I wrote about. Rising up to a feeling of gratification.
The response received was enormous. Almost 1400 blog hits in one month. Way bigger than I had expected. Already received 2 requests to continue Shutter Inspired Micro Shots as a 365 day thing. Overwhelmed I am, but 365 day is a very very demanding commitment.
This 30 day challenge was demanding as well given my frequent work related traveling. I had to schedule 4-5 posts twice to keep the challenge going. Taking up photos, thinking about stories to be woven on them, was a hell of a job.
I had given up somewhere in the middle of the month, if only some people had not kept encouraging every day. Special mention to Punky, Lady Nimue and even MeethiMirchi. Thanks a lot for constant boosting, kind words of inspiration. Your constant comments on the posts, let me know that you were reading :)
No regrets though. All's well, that ends well. This, however, is not the end. Just a beginning.
A new beginning at the end of a year, sure sounds ironic, but then, its never too late :D
I felt sexy, because I felt creative all this Month.
Hope December is as nice to me. In fact, now that I am in-charge, lets show 'em who the boss is.
Summing it up in Linking Park's lines :)

From Lunar to Lunatic
Last night, I was up to almost the whole time to witness the Lunar Eclipse of the century. Indeed it was a divine experience and of course the opportunity of multiple lifetimes. I feel charged up today with positive energy despite the fact that I overslept today and skipped the routine workout :D
So, it happened, I was standing in the balcony with my brother to look at the brilliant view, when the brother was tired and bored to stand and decided to continue with his Mortal Combat, I stood in the balcony with my camera (Point and Shoot of course *sigh*), to get lucky and get some shots of this phenomenon.
The shots weren't that great, but I still managed to get one or two sexy poses from the celebrity of the night, when, all of sudden, there was one huge blinding bright bolt of lightening in the sky. A few birds, must be crows, guessing from their size and shape flew around and by the time I could understand what was happening or get my camera to take a tour around, the batteries of the camera ran out and it made a bye bye sound. I was kind of surprised and shocked to see the batteries dying because I had charged them already for this show. But that was not end of the show. In fact, it was the beginning. Yes.
The daring person I am, and I am (in)famous for it in my family, I decided to stay there and keep witnessing the cool dude getting eaten up. It was nice. Actually, brilliant, magnificent, splendid, enchanting and what not. It was an extra ordinary beauty.
 |
| One Shot from my Point and Shoot camera. |
It was when I started seeing or imagining or visualizing moving shadows of like a wolf face and paws in whatever was visible of the moon after full eclipse. With my camera dead and my phone unable to capture the beauty or spookiness, I was left with nothing to record that very moment, I picked my iPod and typed this as status on Facebook.
"My camera batteries ran out all of sudden and I can see shadows moving in whatever is visible of the moon after the full eclipse. This is NOT a set of a horror movie. If I am found dead, treat this as my testament."
As soon as I tapped the 'Share' button over there, thanks to Punjab State Electricity Board, there was a power cut resulting in interrupted wi-fi connection which dint post my status. Honestly, I freaked out for one moment.
But then, the guts returned and I everything went back to beautiful. The wi-fi resumed and the status was posted. I was way too tired and bugged by the mosquitoes by the time the moon remained eclipsed and before it could resume being uncovered, I had slept peacefully in my bed.

And as un-expected, I woke up alive. :D

That Awkward Moment
Yes, That awkward moment when you realize that you have been absent from the blog for more than 5 months and then, you start writing ferociously, almost 2 posts a day and that too complaining, cribbing, sulking, and anyone who looks at the blog may have the impression that you are going through a bad break up. LOL.
No, I am not going through any break-up or anything of that sort.
Whatever, this place does look like little gloomy.
This post marks the end of this phase. This place will be a happy place again. Because I have decided to be happy. Not that I am not happy. Technically, I am not Happy because my name is not Happy. :D
Anyway, tuning myself for awesomeness. :D
Let Awesomeness Prevail.

Recieved with Thanks :)
Yeah. Finally. I received my hard earned prize of the treasure hunt I won at Advertisingh. Though I had almost forgotten about it. But when the door bell rang at noon on a Saturday,thought of going out in the scorching sun to answer that bell was maddening.
Anyhow, it was worth it. The feel of the packet in my hand excited me and I could not wait to tear it open even before signing the receipt for the courier boy. :D
The suspense was killing.
And what was in the packet, I present
Inside it was a sticky note. :D
hehe.. It all right Jagjit, Never mind saying sorry. I am in love with it though I haven't started it yet. Thanks a ton!!

Awarded Again :D
Thanking Seher, a.k.a. Americanising Desi, for honoring me with Kreativ Blogger Award.
Thanks babes, being personally awarded is really flattering. :D
As the rules go, i have to write about 7 things I love, I long for and I am obsessed with. Raka tagged me with obsession one a while back too..
Ummm... Confessions are a hard thing to do.
1. Life- Yes, I am high on life. never give up is my spirit. Optimism lets me lead it that way. looking forward to new twists, or each turn doesn't let me feel monotoned.. I love all the gifts life has adorned me with including my family and friends.
2. Footwear- being a woman I am obsessed with footwear. Sneakers, runners, heels, flats, mojris, Ballerinas, Stilletoes, You name it, I got it. :D I have a good collection. and even though I am always running short of them and always drooling for another pair. hehe.. I never buy a single pair :D
3. Music- Who doesn't love music. To me music is food for soul. It saves me from stress, boredom and fatigue. Refreshing always, it fills me up with an enthusiasm and a spirit to go on.
4. Chocolate Truffle- Though everyone knows me being a Foodie, I am not a sweets-person, but one thing I cant hold back my temptation for is Chocolate Truffle, Death by chocolate cake and pastries. :D
5. Freedom- I completely love my being single. when I look around, I see all my friends- either married or committed and bound. And I feel so glad that I am free. I do not have anyone to give explanations to about not taking a call, not replying a sms or talking to someone.
6. Knowledge/ Learning/ Wits- ever hyper to learn new things, know about facts. reading, surfing, helps. Also, I am Witty and I know it. Dangerous combi I know. :D
7. Blogging- yes. It is a channel to express myself and I totally love it :D
P.S. Not passing on any awards yet. Wait for the grand event :D

The same old rant..
"What kind guy would you want for yourself?"
This is one question that bugs me every now and then.
I am single and I am happy, doesn’t that seem digestible?
Anyways, coming back to the post, I was recently asked the same thing by my friend's fiance. It was a small get together and we all- the engaged friend V, her fiance M, another friend D and I sat chatting, this subject was brought up.
I mean why do you ask? lolz, the ideal answer should have been that he should be good looking, loving, caring, this- that and blah blah.. But tell me guys, the way people ask you for the specifications gives me funny thought that is it possible for them to get a custom made guy/ girl? (bother to drop your takes for the same)
D, instantly said that she wants the Raj of DDLJ. I know if I run a survey, 90% of the girls in India would say this.
Okay, tell me what was so good in Raj's character? Such irresponsible, such foolish, such illogical, and such creepy..
Since it was a movie, it worked. But reality bites. Who can spend a lifetime with that kind of a character? (care to debate?)
____________________________________________________________________
Besides, Raka has been generous again for the lovely award. Oh yes! Honesty is awarded :D
P.S. I am waiting for a right moment to pass away the awards, something grand :D

25 Today!!
Tag time again!!
Arjun tagged me, but since I have had the perplexity already on FB, so it wasn't difficult to copy and paste it here :D
And, with this tag, I pledge not to do more than one tag per month :D
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about YOU. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
1. I do not like to talk about myself very often. But I keep on doing it every now and then over then blog is a different story, and isn't blogging all about that?
2. I always wanted to get into a creative field as a professional, but sometimes, you have to compromise in life with your ambitions and now I have learnt to be patient.
3. I am more of a listener than a talker. Not because I do not have things to talk about but because, my thoughts generally aren’t understood by normal people and they bring up controversies.
4. I am a calm person, I avoid controversies, I do not like getting into arguments, though discussions are welcome. I avoid getting annoyed with anyone over anything- it is difficult to provoke me, but in case, if any kind of discrepancies set in, it is hard for me to let them go and get back to normal again.
5. I am a sociable person otherwise, I like meeting people, talking to them, learning new things, but when it comes to having friends, I am not very generous :D, i.e. I do not be friends with every other person.
6. I have an unlimited appetite for knowledge. I love reading, surfing Internet for the sole purpose of knowing more things.
7. Blogging has been a milestone in my life. I can express myself more often and without any constraints. I came across many people whose thoughts I could decipher and found some real good friends too.
8. I love watching movies. Genre doesn't hurdle me from watching a movie. Bollywood is changing for good and I am loving it. Hollywood makes great movies already, but I have a different stake when it comes to reviews. i may or may not like the movie as such, but I still like to watch the movie, I can recall only movies which I quit in between are Yuuvraaj and Drona.
9. I love GOD though I aint very spiritual.
10. I have a hell load of Attitude. And I take pride in it.
11. What irritates me the most is when I talk some sense or fact to someone, and they being unaware are not ready to even listen to me and only contradict.
12. I love dancing. I feel it is an expression in itself. But I do not contest ever in competitions as I dance for myself and not to prove on others.
13. I hate people who keep on crying on spilt milk. Whatever happened has happened, u can’t correct it, u can just make the future better by learning from your past.
14. I believe you do not have to go through things yourself to learn, one can always learn from others' experiences as well.
15. I hate public display of emotions. One has to be very special to have seen a tear in my eyes.
16. Everyone have their own problems, so I do not like troubling them more by discussing mine with them; one- they do not have enough time to think over yours, and two- they can’t do anything to solve them. You always have to help yourself.
17. I just can’t- 'cant' be dependent on anyone. That’s why I believe in Jugaad technology- I am a jack of all trades (master of none is just another issue)
18. I have a song for every situation.
19. One thing I've learnt in life is- nobody is nobody's friend. Everyone has a need to fulfil- some have emotional needs, some have selfish needs, some just use others.
20. Suspense thrillers still remain my fave genre of reading, but I am now reading the classics, to know what they are like to be so acclaimed. Also, I find it difficult to read romance- and the story I am doing on the blog is just an experiment.
21. Yes, I sometimes torture myself.
22. I have a very soft corner for orphans, i volunteer at Red Cross.
23. hehe, yes at times I too feel like flying away from this bad bad world :D
24. I am a hard core logical person. I need sound logic behind everything.
25. I believe in rituals and like following them.
Now, I take the opportunity of tagging everyone who is reading it. :D
On the other hand, I would love to read Anwesa, Divya, Harshi, Jagjit, Mahul, Mayz, Raka, Riya, Sid, Seher, Tara, Twisted Elegance :D
I hope you guys wont let me down ;)
****************************************************************************
Also, I have to express my gratitude to Divya for these special gifts she bestowed me with on the birthday of her blog 'Petals and Pebbles'. Thanks loadz buddy, you are equally admired :)

Kick Starting the New Year
What could be a better way to kick start off new year.
Well, I have been awarded all over again- read- showered with awards.
Well, I have been awarded all over again- read- showered with awards.
I am soo touched by the sweet gesture Jagjit- the Advertisingh made- the custom made award, with my name engraved on it.. I love it :) thnx buddy..
He says
Because you are sweet, because you remind me of my days in Chandigarh, and because you can manage seven blogs, which is something. Way to go!
I mean sweet is an adjective which I am rarely associated with, hence, this award is even special to me. And yeah, the clue he has given, updates following :D
Raka, when she tagged me few days back, I said, 'to me, she is a friend in making', but now, I believe, she is friend for life time. She has elated me not only with granting me certain privileges (yeah read on, it is following), she has showered with awards, not just, not just two, but five in a go!!
And, its high time now I too must pass on these awards, being mean, I have kept all my awards to myself, so Here I am, passing on too :D But I aint too generous ;)

Updates
Okay guys!! Time to face the truth..
I appreciate all your true comments on my last post- the journey towards ready to mingle :D
I know I am being unreasonable, no such man can exist, n may be this is the only reason I am still single :D
and yeah, that post dint convey at all my perceptions or views of LOVE, but it was a pun intended post :D
And I am here in Chandigarh for a vacation and what do I do the whole day, let these pictures narrate the story..

And, I received this e-mail just now "A message from Santa Clause", loved it and thought of adding it over here itself:
If it were in my powers,
I would bring peace and love,
To this world of ours,
But I don't have magic enough,
I can cross the sky,
and pass by the stars,
But I can't seem to stop,
Any of hatred's wars,
I see children on the street,
With no hope left,
in the eyes.
So many homeless people
with no where to sleep.
And my heart cries.
I can't give the things they need,
Oh But God I would try.
I'm only a fantasy,
that once took wings to fly,
Some are deceived,
by the gifts that money can buy,
But those who truly believe,
see the gift with the heart,
not with the eye,
I sometime stop and go to my knees,
and pause,
and I too always pray,
That we will find a end to wars,
and live in peace one day.
For all those who believe in me,
I will continue my cause,
Across the stars,
over the wars,
On Christmas Eve,
For the hearts that still believe,
In Santa Clause
Merry Christmas and season greetings to all..

Isn't this wat HappYness is all about? :D
YAAAAAYYY!!!!!!
I guess this is the bestest way to shoo the gloom off that I've been through in the last few posts..
Albeit I keep on saying that I am good at losing contacts, friend are who never let you go!!
This award of proximity explains the same, to translate the gift from Portuguese to English, it means: "This blog invests and believes, the proximity" -meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' -being close through proxy. ( The explanation taken from: here.)
Not just this, Raka had been too generous and lovely to bestow me these as well- You made my day Award.. Doesnt it look like beautifully hand painted..
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And this 
Best Blogging Buddies Award- For Global Communities.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Cute :)
I wonder whoever started these awards, picked real lovely displays :)
