The year 2009

Yeah Pee Yeah...Everybody has rituals...I have rituals to break.After 7 years,this 31st I sit at home for which you mocked me and then refused profusely (your ritual to take your words back and say 'Maine kya kaha?') I think like anyone would...Think about it in the car,in the kitchen,in the coffee place you hang out with or the party you're heading to...In those rare moments,when deafening silences gaves away to screaming thoughts...I thought about the year that I bid farewell to.

Unlike my ex facebook friends,I don't have experiences of going to Paris or Tokyo or atleast Thailand...After finishing a gutsucking and happiness sucking executive learning programme which sucked my blood and kicked 'the social me' in the shins in the almost end of the year...and the libido killing job, there is frankly NO money to take such trips...my blog is gonna be a lil cheap...money wise.Mind wise.

Important thoughts of the year

-It's important to know people for who they are and not what you think of them...Coz there can be a huge divide between what you'd like them to be or what you see them as..See people for what they reall are.And DUMP them coz they are not half the person you'd thought.

-Life can snap while you're balancing a coffee cup in a hand...You lose your job when you have three loans to pay.Planned or unplanned...Life or nothing about is certain...You realise you don't know someone or the stranger turn out to be interesting.Lose a loved one or even your cellphone...So live your life...Coz you never know.

-Always find new things, new people, new music and new books...Or you'd be stuck in a rut.

Best youtube video/s-Step up 2 final dance ,New moon trailer

Best professional opportunity-Working with Sujay Bhattacharya

Happiest moment/s at work-writing scripts with my girl friends while scolding them to play bricks breaking better!

Also when I was told I'd be working on Mad Mad World

Best joke-An ad on the radio advertising a number with better jokes than this."Mere boss ne poocha...Tumhara naam?Maine kaha...Ashok.Boss-ZZor se bolo. Ashok-Jai Mata Di." Frankly that joke made me laugh so hard,my driver gave me the you-are-crazy look.

Best song/s-Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation
Full Moon by Black Moon
I belong to you by Muse
Meet me at the Equinox by Death cab for Cutie
Dooriyan by Pritam Chakraborty
Kaash by The Band

Best Composition-New Moon(The Meadow) by Alexandre Desplat

Best Serial/s Gossip Girl (your one and only source to the scandolous lives of Manhattan)
Big Bang Season 3 (Our whole universe was in a hot dense state, Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. )

Best all time serial- Friends (I have an interview with Gucci, it might be written as GUKKY which could be confusing).
Sex and the City(When the Big love comes along,you're ready for it)

Best Discovery/ries- Fairness creams don't really make you fair. Cervical cancer is found in every seventh woman in India. Unhappiness, tension causes a tumour. Life is worth nothing if you live it the way you want to.

Best fashion hit/s-Tights to go with sweaters and skirts and boots and bags.

Best accessory/ies- Embellished/ribboned hairbands and brooches to add a lil extra something to your outfit.

Best moment 2009- I frankly don't remember but it happened!!

Message for 2010
Ramalingam Raju turned out to be a liar.Varun Gandhi tried to be a mass leader.BJP tried to get into power.Floods in one half of the world and Wildfires in the other.

Facebook changed the face of social networking and Twitter did something for those who stick to 140 characters.

Our bosses expected us to work more than ever without hikes, our lovers/partners expected us to "understand" and the so-called recession didn't hit retail stores. In such times, I think I won't find love, or a job I like or a Dior bag that I want to make a shrine for...my perfect watch or my perfect overcoat will never be mine when I want them to.

But hope lurks around through the shadows of doubt...and the black gives way to white.

You never know...when things might turn around.

I started a new ritual Pee. Don't say you never said anything.
