Sweetest Moment

I visited my Achamma(Grandma) yesterday at my Aunt's and was so surprised to hear this from her.

Aunt : Amma, thenga kku englishil entha paraya ( naariyal ko English mein kya kehte hai)
Achamma: Coconut
Aunt : Pinne 25 ino?
Achamma : Twenty Five *Sounding more like twentyphive*

My Achamma is almost 96 years old. Never had formal education. Just the homeschooling her humble family could afford in a time when parents never thought of educating their daughters. But then the quick learner she is, she is well versed with Ramayana and Mahabharata. She was married off to my Grandpa at a tender age of 14 and after that she was pretty busy with farming and giving birth to her 5 kids.

And at this age, she doesn't remember anyone of us. A year back she atleast had my father, her first kid, in her memory, but now she seems to have gone back to her childhood and doesn't even remember the fact that she was married. And English.... coming from her mouth... I couldn't be more happier and surprised. * Wide Smiles*

P.S.:- Its for these moments I love the blogworld. My memories eternalised.

P.S.S :- Just finished Revolution 2020. Not as bad as the reviews I heard. The problem, I guess, is that having written about his life in the first few books, we expect him to deliver the same(the Chetan- effect as one of my friend referred it) in each and every book. Well the first part of Chetan meeting a guy who has a story to tell has become so..o repetitive.

P.S.S.S :- Anyways R2020 was quite a relief from the hangover of " Oh, Shit, Not Again". Man, we were so deceived by the back cover page. Please never, ever read it. Such a pathetic one.

Back and how???

Seriously I have no idea why it never struck me that I even had a blog for the past one year. And having a job is the lamest of all excuses I can claim. And now jotting down something now just for the sake of having 2011 on my archives, Shame on me. But I sincerely apologise my bloggie dear for having let her not be a part of my life this year.

Anyhoo..life this year has been a rollercoaster ride. Faced its ups and lows. Went through all kinds of emotion. Pretty much like every year. And this May marked a year of loving and caring, fighting and apologising, getting onto each others nerves, of being me and A together. And this is December, so this is 1.5 yrs, next May it will be 2 and the one after that.......just kidding. (you really think I have gone out of touch...me too). Anyways the best part of coming-back-now is that I am now thinking in terms of words, just like ol' times. Getting into the groove.

So this post is all about updates, crisp and clear.

Since the last post, I went on from jobless to jobful. Again. On the other side of the counter of bank. Yep, I am now a "Banker". Enjoying all the laziness and uneargerness of a clerk. Just the way I wanted. March saw KK and Kamini getting married. So we are roommates now (before you think anything else, just reminding you that our husbands have gone sailing). April saw Roger coming into our lives and sharing a space with Richie. Both don't realise that they are Dachshunds, and bark as if they are Bulldozers. I guess, by now A is really convinced that I can look after a dog, his biggest passion. I dread his dream of opening of a kennel with a minimum of 10 dogs.

And yeah of course April was also the month of accident. A suffered a hairline fracture while I being on the 'lighter' side had a parabolic fall, thus making me less prone to injuries. My specs, our phones escaped the tragedy but my heart-shaped white gold ring didn't make it. May...I told you already. June..nah nothing special.
Things after July has been monotonic. Just the job and a few outings. Not that I want to have another accident and get bedridden, but its so boring. Boring....may be not. Yeah, I do have a boss I could loathe about. Some unique colleagues. More on them in my forthcoming posts. Watch out for more.

P.S. :- No time for rechecking the grammatical mistakes.

P.S.S:- I am still wondering how many of fav bloggers have reduced their writings or completely stopped it. I'm waiting for Shanu's. Want more from Lakshmi, Dhanya, Jibu and everyone. Please write more, you guys. Neha you are doing splendid dear. :)

P.S.S.S :- Still to learn about the new Dashboard.

Another 10th December

December 10, 2010

I try and try
Not to cry
Not today atleast

Think it was yesterday
I enjoyed every bit of everyday

There's no rush at 8
To catch the bus that was never late
Nobody to pull my blanket
Nobody asking me for treat to clear my wallet
I try and try
Not to cry
Not today atleast

I may have more birthdays to come
Myself drenched in soap and lather, will I have seldom
I might have all the cakes I ask for
But not the one we friends used to fight for
I try and try
Not to cry
Not today atleast

We might plan lots of trips
Would it be any good as the late night walk in the campus under the lamps
I might be wearing new dresses everyday
Will it make it up to the t-shirt of a friend on every friday
I try and try
Not to cry
Not today atleast

There won't be any deadlines for codes
Wearing the dupatta masks, I wouldn't be crossing those roads
I won't have a hostel room to go to
Where I'll have a bunch of friends to talk to
I try and try
Not to cry
Not today atleast

I don't have to go to ATMs
To take out the last of hundreds
To recharge my mobile
Because we had to finish our fight on who will call who for a while
I try and try
Not to cry
Not today atleast

There won't be anymore holi
Or playing daandiya just for jolly
We won't be dancing with our RM
Just because the DJ was playing songs awesome
I try and try
Not to cry
Not today atleast

We won't be fighting anymore over the tour to Wonderla
Who says we didn't have a gala
We won't be running anymore marathons
To get the certificates and pose for the mobile phones
I try and try
Not to cry
Not today atleast

Good times are past me
Realisation dawns only later on me
If my thoughts are all right
I die only as a Satyamite

P.S. :- Again a 10th Dec. 3yrs have past after the first day at job. Today maybe Satyam doesn't exist. May be I don't belong to its new form. But each of us still have the same sense of belonging to Satyam. I don't remember any of my friends from other companies updating about their service anniversary. We do it even when most of us don't belong to Satyam

"Another Dec 10th. One more day to remember those golden days we spent with satyam. Happy Service Anniversary to all satyam Pals.Still when i remember those smiles, tears keep rolling down my face.Miss u all.." - Jibu

"Today is a very memorable day in my life since it was dis day 3 yrs ago whn wid dreams and hopes in my eyes tht I startd my journey wid Satyam,it still continues wid Mahindra Satyam :) :) :)" - Vishu

"My 3rd Service Anniversary today....Satyam sivam sundaram.." - SK

"Congrats to all ELTP 865 - 867
Today we all completed 3 yrs of experience..
Was the most memorable journey so far..." - Sanket

 And yours truly wrote

"Another 10th Dec... A day associated with hopes, aspirations, friendship, love, joy, tension, dreams, tragedies, tears, fun...Thanks to all. Missing all you guys!!! Terribly!!!"

 P.S.S. :- Why is that I can't control my tears.

P.S.S.S :- Its my first take on poems and rhyming is the last of the skills I have.
