2 new things

September 29, 2011 / / 5 Comments

I have come up with a Spillover page where I spill out my inane thoughts that race in my mind. Nothing that I can say in particular! Anyway, it will more of micro-blogging, if I may say. 🙂

Would you be nice enough to check it out and leave your thoughts? 😛

Also, I have started writing at Darlings of Venus which is one awesome blog sculpted by a bunch of awesome writers. I joined it in the serious hope that I could write as well as those bloggers, one day.

Well, off to sleep. Will be back with a decent post.

Until later 🙂

Dearest Daddy

August 25, 2011 / / 2 Comments

To the man who lived, lives and will live spending more time for the family than for him.

To the man who has brought up 2 children in the best way he can.

To the man who never thinks of buying so much as a new suit for himself on his birthday.

To the man who fights with me just to make me understand that he wants the best for me.

To the man who fights with me when I am home and secretly misses me when I am not home.

To the man who watched me grow and start taking my own decisions, all the while torn between wanting to correct me and at the same time letting me learn life’s lessons as they were meant to be.

To the man who wants his daughter as bold and confident as he is.

To the man who was going through all the emotions when his children stepped out on their own, but still kept silent for their own good.

To the man who shouldered all the responsibilities for the big family, keeping it intact as his ancestors had done.

To the man who put behind his dream of owning a house until he is about to retire, for the sake of the family.

To the man who works 3 shifts circulating weekly, resulting in a messed up biological clock and yet never complained once.

To the man who gave me enough lifts and pushes when I needed them the most and is still doing the same.

To the man who has the dreams of his children in his eyes.

To the man who believes in me, even when I don’t.

To the man who keeps on making the world a better place for us to live, by each passing day.

Happy Birthday, Daddy. I know all that you did, do and will do will bring me nothing but the best. You are the best daddy in the world. I am so proud of you and hope that I could make you feel the same about me.

My first tag

August 15, 2011 / / 2 Comments

For so long,I have wanted to do this tag-writing. So, I just picked up this tag from a fellow-blogger. I am tagging anyone who wants to take it up.

*********************************************************************************************************************

1. What is your current obsession?

My blog. I just open the web page and look at it, even though I don’t have a clue to write about anything.

2. What are you wearing today?

Casuals- A light orange t-shirt and tracks.

3. What’s for dinner?

Should ask the hostel cook. Oh! How I wish I could stay independently and eat as I wish. But I know the situations are not conducive at present.

4. What’s the last thing you bought?

The orange t-shirt I am wearing now.

5. What are you listening to right now?

The fan’s whirring sound in my room and the voice of the Prakash Raj in the movie Gilli.

6. What do you think about the person who tagged you?

No one tagged me. For so long, I have wanted to try the tag writing. So I just took this tag from the blogosphere of a fellow blogger.

7. If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it to be?

Bangalore, of course.

8. What are your must-have pieces for summer?

Anything that feels light and that does not irritate me in the scorching heat.

9. If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?

Trichy. Would give anything to taste Mom’s Dosa and Drumstick Sambhar.

10. Which language do you want to learn?

Hindi. Actually It’s re-learning. Ever Since Telugu caught up, I neglected Hindi.

11. What’s your favourite quote?

It varies often. Right now, it is “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

12. Who do you want to meet right now?

Guruprasad aka Aditya.

13. What is your favourite colour?

Black. Also,Purple. Well ok, if it definitely has to be one colour, Purple wins the game.

14. What is your favourite piece of clothing in your own closet?

The blue jean that Ramya bought me and the black & white Kurti which we both have.

15. What is your dream job?

A stable, stress-free job in Bangalore that will enable me to be financially independent and spend more time with family. Of course, that’s the dream job of every woman.

16. What’s your favourite magazine?

Tinkle Digest. Yes, even after 20 more years, that will be my favourite.

17. If you had $100 now, what would you spend it on?

Shopping for Dresses. On second thought, I will give it to my Bro. Because I have bought too many dresses in the recent past. I want to get out of the obsession.

18. What do you consider a fashion faux pas?

Low-waist jeans and many more.

19. Who are your style icons?

None. Fashion is not my cup of tea.

20. Describe your personal style.

I just go out as what I am. No cosmetics. Seriously. I tried to use eye-liners, lip gloss etc but invariably ended up feeling too lazy to get ready with all that. So, I reverted back to being myself.

21. What are you going to do after this?

Probably will watch TV and have lunch.

22. What are your favourite movies?

The list is too long and varying. To quote the recent, Deivathirumagal.

24. What are three cosmetic/makeup/perfume products that you can’t live without?

As I said earlier, nothing. My laziness does not encourage me to use all these and hence I don’t.

23. What inspires you?

A breezy drizzle, A chat with some of my loved ones, A refreshing book.

24. Give us three styling tips that always work for you.

Too many questions on styling. For the nth time, I just make myself look-able and go out. While at home, I don’t even bother that much. If any more questions related to style or fashion come up, I am going to boycott them.

25. What do you do when you “have nothing to wear” (even though your closet’s packed)?

Just pick a dress that I have not worn for the longest time and go with it.

26. Coffee or tea?

Depends. As I do not drink both on a regular basis, I just take whichever comes first to my mind.

27. What do you do when you are feeling low or terribly depressed?

I cry and then try to sleep.

28. What is the meaning of your name?

It is something in music (Sorry, I am not an expert in this area. But when I googled it, I got this- “A simpler form of musical composition. Words are given more importance than the musical content”). But that is true if my name is Keerthana. My name is Keirthana. My dad had this numerology thing to make my name spelled like that and also made me the sole person with 2 initials among my folks. Never mind. I am happy that my name spells unique.

29. Which other blogs do you love visiting?

All the blogs in my blogroll.

30. Favorite Dessert/Sweet?

Home made Gulab Jamun.Mind it. Home made. The shop ones are too sweet and have sugar deposits.

31. Favourite food?

Anything that Mom cooks is heavenly.

I had fun doing this. Take it up if you like.

Until later 🙂

6 Reasons why I blog!

April 21, 2011 / / 2 Comments

First of all, I like reading. Hence, my thoughts are influenced as well as challenged by stuff I read. And, it always feels better to pour out what you think than to struggle inside.

Second, there will be some times when you are so bored, that any of your usual ways to while away the time will seem too-lazy-to do-it, but blogging will not be. The reason being you can even put up a post on why you are bored, what you are bored about and all such crap. If you are witty enough, you can make a good post on any topic.

Third, it is just fun to type. You can call me crazy, but I love to type. If it was still the time for typewriters, I would have started out to make a good typist.

Fourth, since my childhood, I love to have an unrestricted freedom of expressing what I think. I have fought my way long and hard to achieve that, till now. Blogging gives me that freedom and I use it well.

Fifth, I have a liking for presentation aspects. I like the feeling when I think hard to find the exact words that would put forth my racing thoughts. Occasionally I take a break and just blog spontaneously.

Sixth, w.r.t to my Cognizant blog, I get rewarded with Wah points. W.r.t my blog here, I can put all the crap I can which is inappropriate to put in a corporate blog forum and yet can say-“This is my blog and I will put whatever I want” 😛

These reasons are the ones that I picked from the top of my head and in no chronological order of importance.

Until later 🙂

Everything in it’s place and a place for everything

March 23, 2011 / / 3 Comments

After a long break, this space seems to be so warmly welcoming me. It has really been a time of jam-packed schedule and still is. However, this time, I chose to break the pattern and take time off to put up an update here in my online diary.

The days of my life in the recent past:

#Office:

  • Development-oriented training got over which resulted in a role change from Content contributor to developer. The path for this journey involved a lot of pain points and irritations with unreasonable amount of pressure building up. Also, added to it, being a developer at Hyderabad means more delay for being in Bangalore. Nevertheless, I decided to be happy that my career path is on the ascent. Also, given our project and team status, this might be a boon in disguise. So 🙂 🙂 🙂

#Entertainment:

  • Playing Zaz and Neverball in Ubuntu proved to be one hell of an addictive entertainment until a point when I reached the last but one level of the game. I am stuck up there and am not able to complete that level and hence I decided to give the games a break.
  • Playing entanglement In Google chrome has always been pleasant.
  • Then came the cricket world cup and my blood pressure has not been the same since then. I really want the Indian team to win the cup, at least for Sachin, if not for the country. Btw, Harsha Bhogle’s article on Sachin fake Harsha Bhogle article on Sachin (Harsha Bhogle has confirmed he hasn’t written it) after the Indian team lost to South Africa was awesome. Sachin deserves every word of it and even more.

#Food:

  • With Hostel food become worse day by day, milk, curd and buttermilk are helping me out a lot in this scorching heat of Hyderabad.
  • Enjoyed eating Kulfi after a very long time. It reminded me of the good old days at Trichy when my mom would get kulfi for me and my bro and we would be fighting over who finishes first and without letting it melt and drop on the floor.

#Learning:

  • Learning technical stuff is beginning to be an enjoyable one for the first time since after my tenth standard. I know I am a bit slow but I am comfortable and doing it well enough.
  • Also, planning to move from sticking to learning one thing to multitasking in technical stuff too. Not sure how it will work out.

#Friends and Family:

  • Having a plan to meet up with family at Bangalore during Ugadi. Will get to meet Ramya too 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 Btw, talked to her yesterday after such a long time. 1 hour was not enough for all the good stuff and gossip we had for sharing 😛 Planning to catch up during the Bangalore trip.

With a feel of satisfaction of having updated my diary, I am off to start doing some more useful stuff.

Until later 🙂

P.S: Fingers crossed for tomorrow’s match. Good luck Team India and Good luck Sachin! 🙂

P.P.S: The title of the post conveys the state of my current life.
