Well Im back!!Being swamped with work ..let alone not being able to join my friends to the cafeteria I dont even have the time to blog :p and by the time I get back home Iam about just ready to collapse.The reason behind this Ive been asked to travel to Dusseldorf,Germany for a long term of 1 year.Im refusing it as hard as possible.I had earlier declined when I was asked to travel for 3months now I really dont understand what made them think that I may travel for 12months.Hence I have to put in more efforts & try my best to finish my work before anyone points their finger at me saying "there thats why we asked u to travel to the EDS-Germany office where the Vodafone client sits & you could get your doubts clarified from them directly" duhh!!!Being relatively free today & also since we are nearing weekend I decided to pen down to my blog to give an update of my life...
Marriage:Im married for the past 7 months woo...I still feel I got married just a few hours ago..thanks to my San & the people around us to keep the fire & romance kicking ;)
Parents:My parents have bought home a new pup..looks very very cute & is extremely ferroucious...Well he is named the same as our older dog "Amruth".His gender is still a confusion in our family.My dad claims him to be a male & hubby & inlaws a female..looks like its a mystery unrevealed till he/she grows up...
Driving:Now coming to my driving skills..I have definately improved alot because I really dont care how people are on the road as Ive become immune to their uncultured traffic displine or rather Ive adapted myself to driving on bangalore roads manvouring in the midst of cattle,cyclists,dogs & every possible creature...My San finally calls the way I drive as **xy!!!OOOO!! Also he has promised to let me drive on the Highway as we leave to Kacheepuram with Praveen & Raji this weekend :) Driving an AT car is definately more comfortable than a manual one.Thanks to my San for having bought it all for me!!
Cooking:Looks like in my efforts to learn how to cook ,my husband has learnt the most out of it & to relish & appreciate the worst of culinery skills.I still struggle to cook a decent meal..my chapatis are in the shape of an undergarment!!Im half the time wondering if the salt is too less or more or just hope my husband says lets go out for dinner!!My inlaws may be travelling out of India sooner for around 15-20 days..a good time for Sanjeev & me to get back in shape by drinking water & fruit juices which will also save me from the guilt of having cooked a horrible meal :(
Shopping:This is a never-ending task even if I turn bankrupt :p Got gifts for my parents for their birthday this month..along with some shirts , t-shirts & salwars for myself. I still have quite a number of new sarees & salwars which I got post my wedding from the relatives we met.I also did road-side shopping at Malleshwaram with my friends had yummy pizza for 12 bucks..bought a very nice bed spread which was liked all in the family..I also plan to pick up some sarees at Kacheepuram this weekend..happy shopping to me again & forever!!
Mornings:The weather being chill in the mornings I struggle all the more to get up.The "5 more mins please sanju" has now become "10 more mins please da" and every night before the weekend which used to be " I'll get up at 8 tomorrow" is now "Dont wake me up or disturb me I'll get up myself".Im heading no where to reduce my laziness...or may be the exponential increase in my workload is causing this..whatever I just find all possible ways to justify my laziness!!
Workout:Yeah this is one thing Im doing religious for the past 1 week :p..it was all because of my friends at work who go for a daily walk or do yog & would talk about it over lunch .Being the lazy girl Iam all I would have is to talk about how early I slept & how I struggled to get up.This close to 30min of workout is actually making my MIL finish 3/4 of the cooking which leaves me feeling guilty as I go down & get to just keep her entertained talking & to chops coriander leaves for garnishing..
Status of my wardrobe:Worse than ever..I used to think I will change once I get married as my husband is highy organised,he arranges his clothes atleast once a week & they look as neat as in a newly inaugurated boutique.Mine just the opposite..I still have a shower of clothes falling on my head everytime I open my wardrobe.When I got married I thought the wardrobe was too big for me but now Im actually asking Sanjeev to shift his clothes to the older room where he slept when he was a bachelor...The only improvement is that I keep some set of clothes aside & iron them on every Sunday evenings which I can wear for the coming week.The idea behind is that I can save some time than to iron every morning ,but the saved time goes in me sleeping or day dreaming or hunting for my cell phone or the car keys at times!!!
That my an update of what's happening in my life in a nutshell :p

MIL's Birthday gift
57 years ago
Was an angel born with no ego
Being the epitome of perfection
Food is her last temptation
Mil is she not but a true mother
Which can be denied by none other
Encourages me while driving
While her inner soul keeps praying
Best mistress is she to any maid
Always ready to meet their aid
Carrys the patience of the entire world
With actions never being hurled
Curls in her lock are perfect
As the halo around her tries to reflect
Her sweet laughter reminds me of a baby
Being so perfect and graceful lady
Assets to her are immaterial
She being the queen of home-managerial
As we wish her the best of health
The respect she commands is her wealth
Was an angel born with no ego
Being the epitome of perfection
Food is her last temptation
Mil is she not but a true mother
Which can be denied by none other
Encourages me while driving
While her inner soul keeps praying
Best mistress is she to any maid
Always ready to meet their aid
Carrys the patience of the entire world
With actions never being hurled
Curls in her lock are perfect
As the halo around her tries to reflect
Her sweet laughter reminds me of a baby
Being so perfect and graceful lady
Assets to her are immaterial
She being the queen of home-managerial
As we wish her the best of health
The respect she commands is her wealth

A Walk down Memory Lane
Tagged by Raji :)
What is the oldest / first memory you carry of:
Of your Mother: I have this very old picture of my mother where she is around 2yrs old.She looks extremely cute with her curly locks & a sleevless frock.I remember looking at her picture every morning scan every cell of her face on the picture & ask her why dont I look as beautiful as she is.She would smile back & answer me saying when I grow up & when I have a
daughter she would also ask the same question to me because for every daughter her mother is the most beautiful person on earth.
Of Crying:I guess was in my 2nd std or so & my brother was in 4th std.We studied in the same school.One evening after dinner my bro & I had a fight & I landed up giving my brother a deep cut near his eye.We were so scared that my brother covered his eye with his hand & we pretended to sleep.But having to bear an unbearbale pain he called out to my mom who was serving dinner to my dad.She saw my brother bleeding & called my dad who was shocked seeing blood all over his face n his eyes.My dad asked what happened & I confessed that I hurt him.My dad came close towards me to give me a hard wack where my brother with blood all over his face n palm came running towards my dad,held his hand said it was not her mistake but I triggered her.My parents then took him to the hostipal where his eye was bandaged completely & doctor had mentioned that my brother's eye was saved by just 3mm.when they came back from the clinic I was almost dead with guilt but just couldnot convey how miserable I felt.I cried a lot that entire night & I realised how much we loved each other inspite of all our silly fights.The next day to I went to school with a heavy heart & met my brother along with one of my friend during lunch break.When she asked him what happened to his eye,he lied saying he fell off the cot & hurt himself.He told a LIE, which I least expected as I thought he never loved me and was always jealous of me as I was better than him in academics. It was that moment I realised
me how much I meant to him.Broke down hugged him & cried a lot while my friend wondered why I ever got so emotional & that too in school.That was the day in my life I realised what sort of unwise actions & words we choose when we get angry & lose our temper.The
scar is yet visible on my brother's face & everytime I see the guilt kills me :`(
Of your Father: I was in my 3rd std when my grandfather(mom's father) expired.I had my final exams so I had to stay back with my dad n granny(father's mom).My mom had her own style of making us revise a day before our exams which my dad was not aware of.He spent all evening preparing me for my History paper the next day .It was a night when I missed everything about my mom like she telling me a bedtime story,putting me to sleep,polishing my shoes,combing my hair,feeding me n stuff.I asked my dad to take me to my grandfather's place to meet my mom,to which he refused saying you've got exams tomorrow so you better study.He also said that if i did well in tomorrow's history paper,he will take me immediately after the exam.To which I threatened my dad saying you dont take me to see mom now I will write all wrong answers in tomorrow "Fill in the Blank" section of the history paper.My dad knew I was capable enough to do so he asked me to get ready & I wore one of my most favourite jeans skirt & white shirt in which my mom adored me alot & we left to meet my mom.I met my mom gave her a big hug & narrated to her all that happened at school & at home with my dad.Finally I scored 100 in history ,thanks to my dad!!
Of School:My brother & I studied in the same Kindergarten.His classroom was just adjacent to mine.My cousin brother & my brother were classmates n benchmates too.Anytime my teacher would turn her back towards us to write something on the blackboard.I would run out of my class & get in to my brother's classroom & sit in between him & my cousin.My brother &
cousin would actually hide me from the teacher by asking me bend down under the table.We three would drink the fruit juice & eat the cream biscuits & chips that our moms' would pack for us.When my teacher would realise that Im missing she would come to my brother's class carry me in her arms with my head on her shoulders & would take me away.I would wave bye to my brother & cousin and say dont tell this to mom...lets meet again..But once I reach home the moment I would look at my mom would say it all & would get to hear a long advice..
Of a Fight: Ever since the incident that I narrated earlier about hurting my brother close to his eye I never fought with anyone.If ever I do its just verbal & hardly lasts for a few minutes & I compose myself & calm down.
Of a Lie you told:My parents brought me up saying telling a lie was the most sinful deed on earth.Hence I would never lie.I would either confess my mistake & ask for an apology or remain quiet.The 1st time I ever lied was when I was in my 3rd sem Engineering when I went out for shopping with my friend & her mom to buy a saree for my mom & a shirt for my dad.It was a
surprise gift that I wanted to give my parents for their wedding anniversary. I lied to my mom saying I would need to use up my pocket money to buy some salwars for myself at Malleshwaram where my friend was put up.I then returned back home with a
cotton saree & a shirt material for my dad.
Of a Vacation:As a child I hated travelling by any diesel vechiles as I would puke my guts out.My grandparents along with my uncles,aunts & cousins had planned for a trip to Pearl Valley at Anekal district.Right from when I boarded the bus till we reached home I puked so much that I had felt even the cerelac & my mother's milk that I had during my babyhood was all
out.Hence we hardly went out for any vacations that involved bus or a taxis.
Of Laughing:I studided Kannada for about 3yrs in school.Hence I was comfortable with the language only to the extent of reading the route number of the buses.My 1st day at my PU college a lecturer cracked a joke in Kannada & the entire class burst out laughing loud.Later my friend explained to me & I laughed out alone & the entire class wondered what took me so
long to understand a simple joke.It was embarassing for me though!!
Of a Class Mate:I was in 1st std & I joined school about 1 week after the others had joined.My 1st day at school I was asked to introduce myself.Post my introduction everyone kept staring at me & it was just one boy an Anglo-Indian named John who clapped for me & then the others followed.My teacher asked me to sit next to him.He was the shortest of the boys & I was
shortest of the girls.So we stood beside each other heading the girls & boys row respectively during our school assembly.He would join me and my brother for lunch & would fudge all answers from me during any class test.I would go home & complain to my mom every evening how badly he stinked when we were back from our PT class.
Of a Relative:My grandmom(mother's mom).She was an epitome of patience & perfection.She would fall sick quite often when I was young & many a times we would have to call a doctor home to give her some injections.Everytime the doctor would go near her to give her an injection i would hide my face behind any of my mamas'.Once the doctor would leave I would climb on top of the bed sit very close to my granny to see a drop of tear at the corner of her eye.I would wipe that tear off her eyes & I would say Paati one day I will become a doctor & give will you injection that will not have any needle & it will not give you any pain.She would smile back & pull me close to her chest & would pat me to sleep.
Of a Teacher:My nursery school teacher whose name is also Subashini.She used to ride a 2 wheeler & carried herself really well in her cotton sarees that she draped.Every afternoon when I return home I would tell my mom the colour saree she had draped & how she appreciated me or how she scolded me.I always imagined her taking me on her 2 wheeler making me sit behind
her & me struggling to reach my leg down to foot-rest.
Of your brother/sister:When my brother was a kid,he was extremely naughty & loved experimenting with electronic gadgets or stripping any toys given to him & assemble them back.Hence my parents always avoided giving him any new gadgets or toys to
play or have a watch on him whenever they give such stuff.So I would ask my parents to give me those gadgets to play & run to my brother ,give to him & ask him to play because it was very sad to see him deprived of playing such stuff which he loved to.
What is the oldest / first memory you carry of:
Of your Mother: I have this very old picture of my mother where she is around 2yrs old.She looks extremely cute with her curly locks & a sleevless frock.I remember looking at her picture every morning scan every cell of her face on the picture & ask her why dont I look as beautiful as she is.She would smile back & answer me saying when I grow up & when I have a

Valentine's Day
Eversince I started working I always celebrated my Valentine's day with my MOM.I would work on Jan 26th (Republic day) & would compensate by taking an off on Valentine's day.If my mom & I decide to go out we would do loads of shopping & if ever we decide to spend time at home I would cook something special for her of the very minimal culinery skills that I own.But this year was an extremely special valentine's day for a couple of reasons viz I was celebrating it with my hubby,for the first time I had pre-planned things , wanted to make this day the most memorable one,above all my hubby's friend Vijay made this Valentine's day the most unforgettable one for a life time.Though my hubby & I knew each other a year ago,we really had no name for our relationship.It was more sacred than friendship but neither of us were ready to commit before the approval from our parents.Above all my hubby being an idealist always endrosed & encouraged the idea of avoiding being captured in the eyes ofpeople who dont respect realtionship & who label a boy-girl relation as an "affair".Hence I celebrated my 2007 valentine's day with my Mom,though San was equally important to me as much as her ever since then.
This year I started my planning since 7th Feb when I came up with this poem as I was waiting for my FIL to pick me up.
Post a lot of brain squeezing I decided to do 2 things for the special day to give my hubby a big surprise.
1)Courier a greeting Card with my poem on it + a memorable gift to my hubby's office address.
2)Decorate our room with candles & rose petals
This was the 1st time that I had ever planned & was hoping to execute successfully..till my hubby's very good friend Vijay turned up from nowhere to gets me on my nerves even to this day.
My friends & I decided to spend our 8th Feb evening at Brew-Ha-Ha-Ha which is at Koramanagala, quite close to Forum & my hubby's office.I had the idea of getting San's & my pic on a coffee mug hence borrowed San's pen drive to copy some of our pics to it.Me being extermely lazy left San with absoulutely no clue of what I was upto.
However my BIL suggested me about the getting it done on a crystal frame he even took the pain of walking to Forum from his company just to ensure that there is a stall in Forum where they get the photo printed on a crystal frame.Hence on our way to Brew-Ha-Ha-Ha placed the order for our photo & chose an unique crystal frame which was the only model available.The guy said it would take 24hrs for our photo to be printed on the crystal & hence I could collect it the next day.But the next day being a Saturday I decided to collect it on Monday as I didnt wanted my hubby to get the slightest hint of my surprise to him.
Was back to work on Monday morning with all curiosity to sneak out wih my friend to Forum during lunch & to collect the gift.
My friend & I just boared the rick while San called me and said "Shubu I really love you & thanks a lot for the valentine's gift".I was totally dumbstruck & was fuming assuming the shopkeeper had placed my gift for display & it caught my hubby's eyes.Since I was really upset & didnt wanted San to know that I was on my way to Forum to collect it ,I pretended to be in the cafeteria & promised to call him back once Im back to my workstation.Once we reached Forum I was all set to blast the shopkeeper for being the culprit, little did I expect that it was my hubby's friend Vijay who was the actual he-devil.Having realised I was upset with my gift being revealed to the person to whom it was supposed to be surprise,my hubby kept calling me constantly to console me & finally narrated to me as to what exactly had happened.
San received a call from Vijay saying "Man I know what you are gonna gift your wife this valentine,I saw your pic in forum".San being all shocked trying to clarify what Vijay uttered , walked upto Forum & enquiring about this crystal frame & finally found my gift.
The funniest part was San arguging with the shopkeeper to buy it for which Ive already paid !!!
His silly friend had assumed that it was San's gift to me.
This turned me off bigtime wondering how could he just not think the otherway round or atleast asked San in a clever way like "What have you decided to gift your wife this valentine".Well I guess some guys really have very little ridges & grooves on their brain to think before they speak.
Hence one of my plans got screwed up royally!!Thank to Vijay again!! Here is the crystal frame
Oh yeahh this guy did apologise several times to San & suggested a silly idea to make up for it by asking San to take me for the Thrusday night premier of Jodha Akbar..I was least interested in this option while I still had my other plans to keep my Valentine's day live & kicking.
Fortunately I had no other he/she devils hampering my remaining plans & everything else went in a more than perfect way.For which I thank my MIL to the core who walked up every shop with me hunting for candles & a basket of roses.Above all she even helped me by preventing San from entering our room once I had done with the decorations.she was extermely cute in keeping a watch on San's every movement to ensure that atleast this suprise of mine goes well.
San was really thrilled & extremely happy for the way I had lit the room with just candle lights & rose petals all over. This is what I did
He even woke up my FIL who was in the middle of his sleep to have a look at our room & to appreciate my thoughfulness..it was a little embarassing for me though.However my surprise to San didnt end here ,the elephant-size greeting card which had my poem written on it reached his office the next day adding a bigger smile on my San.
After all I always beleived in being happy by making people around me happy.
As we returned home that evening I was very contended that my other plans worked out well making our day most memorable.
But just to complete the evening San gave me a bigger surprise & took my breathe away.He had bought me a real cub sized Simbha soft toy.It was as big as a calf with an extermely cute face & tail.No other gift would have made me happier than this soft toy.Here is Simbha
Our room already has almost all the animals of a jungle & Simbha had to complete the picture.
Apart from this our car had a weird smell that evening ,a smell which I loved the most but was unable to recollect.Post a couple of guesses I finally gave up & decided to pounce & open up the cover..it was chicken pizza & chicken wings YUMMYYYYY..I can eat any number of chicken pizzas & chicken wings at any point of time either day or midnight or evening anytime ..you name it Im all set to hog them.I was more than thrilled & surprised & happy at San's thoughfulness to do something so unpredictable.Least did I expect a surprise like this from a person like san who is so known for his maturity & practicality.
San always exhibited his own style of doing things which always took my feet off the ground!!!
This year I started my planning since 7th Feb when I came up with this poem as I was waiting for my FIL to pick me up.
Post a lot of brain squeezing I decided to do 2 things for the special day to give my hubby a big surprise.
1)Courier a greeting Card with my poem on it + a memorable gift to my hubby's office address.
2)Decorate our room with candles & rose petals
This was the 1st time that I had ever planned & was hoping to execute successfully..till my hubby's very good friend Vijay turned up from nowhere to gets me on my nerves even to this day.
My friends & I decided to spend our 8th Feb evening at Brew-Ha-Ha-Ha which is at Koramanagala, quite close to Forum & my hubby's office.I had the idea of getting San's & my pic on a coffee mug hence borrowed San's pen drive to copy some of our pics to it.Me being extermely lazy left San with absoulutely no clue of what I was upto.

Mood Swing
Wrote this a couple of days ago while I was not able to explain my hubby the reason for my mood swing!!!
sanju i love u
& feel our love is forever new
but irritated i am now
dont know its reason n how
what do i to overcome
for u know im dumb
feeling pissed and sick
& want to give someone a hard kick
hoping to take an off someday
n sleep like hen with eggs to lay
with no choice I now get back to work
to get trained by nithin who loves eating perk
