The shopping madness!!

                 There is a reason I love Thanksgiving!! The total shopping madness..According to me my shopping capabilities are too good to be questioned!! :):) but this time I must accept that my abilities were challenged..We started shopping at 9PM CST!! Went to the first mall, but we had the wrong information (a bit of my fault) Stonebriar mall was suppose to open at 6AM and not 10PM..So the plans needed modifications..Run time changes you know!! Then we went to allen..It the pandharpur for shoppers!!Truly!! All the brands, all the shops!! You cant ask for more..GAP, ck, NIKE, VanHeusen the list goes on..
                So I started shopping, aai, baba, kaka, kaku, bhau , bahini....well we have so many people in our lives!!I must say one needs to be focused for such kind of shopping..Limited time, unlimited offers, credit card limits(hahahhaha) etc!! Now Its almost morning and we are heading  to Stonebriar..Finally!! Even now all the shops aren't open..I managed to buy some stuff from here and there (I am saying as if I had to shop :):):)) I am not a person who will spend enormous amount on buying things(according to me!!)..I will take time to get the best possible deal and the thing I am looking for..I am specific about things I buy..Lets keep that apart..So shopping madness..After Stonebriar, we had nice breakfast at IHOP..Seriously I was very very hungry..After that heavy breakfast, came home and slept!!! Later in the morning visited target and wallmart to finish up the remaining stuff..And finishes shopping at around 5PM..9to5 kind of shopping!!Thats not interesting, the interesting part is I loved this concept of Black friday!! Its a real treat for shoppers..well I didnt find things very cheap but it was fun shopping..The madness has already taken toll on me..I am done shopping!!

Viva Mexico, Sheshe and Chak de!!!

               I am going to miss these days..One of my friends from office is going back to mexico this week, so we all went out for dinner this friday..Yiye really chose a very very nice chinese restaurant for the special occasion..I can not believe that I know these people for just two months now..It feels like knowing them since forever..We used to have such a great time in the office..The lunch breaks used to be very exciting for all four of us..Every day there has to happen something to laugh about..Sometimes, Its about me and fortune cookies, sometimes Yiye and his jacket, the southern Mexican people(I am supporting you aurora), or turtles and Carlitos.
                All of us are from different countries, different  parts of world..But still there is something that connects us..I do not know what that is, but there is definitely some thing behind this strong bond of friendship..Carlitos and Aurora can speak some marathi now, And mind you Aurora can fight using marathi words :):)..We know what exactly to order at Chinese restaurants, how to ask for less spicy dish and we can thank the waitress too..They are still not good at eating with hands!! :):):)
                There are many interesting stories to share..Many many discussions/quotes to write..I really had very great time with all these people..I am going to miss all that..The discussions were very diverse..Geeta, Chinese food, Mexican food, potatoes, wars, fashion, US, home, families, cartoons(Derek in particular), armies, jackets, Philosophy, songs( I wonder how this tunak tunak song is famous!!)..

tagline!!

                On our very own Funasia Radio, RJ Vaibhav hosts a show in the evening.I like his show because he seems to be a very positive and energetic person..Last week he asked a simple question for which people had complicated answers!! The question was "If you want to describe your life, Can you describe it in one sentence? Can you give a tagline for your life??"
                  I am sure some people will say, Life is supposed to be enjoyed, not summarized..Are you people trying to market your life???blah blah blah..I feel its really an interesting thing to think about..Lets leave that discussion apart..
                 Then calls started flooding in!! "The princess", "The lady who is successful in all the spheres of life",  "Winners do not do different things, they do things differently" (Isn't it the Shiv Khera quote??)..Almost all those were similar taglines! घिसेपिटे , typical sentences..Nothing new..:( Then I started thinking about my own life!! 'Life', my favorite topic to think about!! You wont believe I really tried hard to come up with something..It is not that simple..Covering everything is almost impossible..
                   After thinking about it for quiet a long time, the thought crossed my mind, Is describing my life that difficult?? Again the same old sentence came to my mind..Its only complicated if you make it!! Fantastic, I said to myself and just wrote the tagline!! 
                    So everyone, do come with a tagline for your life..Its fun!! and I would like to know if you want to share it.:)  :)

This too shall pass...

On a nice evening looking at the sun..
Even sun says the same thing..
Not the day nor the night is long
This too shall pass..

Sitting on a bench..all alone..
watching the different shades of the sky...
the colors are changing soon..and saying..
This too shall pass..

Tough deadlines..Hectic schedules..
With so much to do and insufficient time..
Then I close my eyes and say
This too shall pass...

Enjoying the weather..not sunny nor cold..
perfect time just to spend a day out..
sun starts peaking out of the clouds saying
This too shall pass..

Staying alone away from family..
Thinking about them all the time..
I wish I was there..calender says
This too shall pass..

This period of uncertainty..Unclear future..
Where I would be next year..How will be things?
Then I remind myself...Have faith dear..
This too shall pass..
