On an Acute

I dont like debt - of any type - be it physical/emotional or whatever other kind it comes in. I do not like carrying that baggage around. I know no amount of Thanks ever fixes a debt. It has to be paid off - preferably in same form. You can end up paying it to someone else though - can't you. You know pay off anothers debt by making someone in your debt. No thats the Devil's way not mine. Its a good thing you dont have debts with the ones you love - even if you do you never really have to pay it off.

On an Obtuse

If I asked one of my dearest local colleagues to say "Jhakaaaas", he/she'd probably say "Jackass" which is what we originally wanted it to mean - i would think. Soha Ali Khan was asking how to translate this hindi word on a show recently and i thought i'd answer her here(on my show)...

I love my job!!!

 

Farewell - 1

It's been a while... I loved the movie "500 Days Of Summer"... Hell... I'd probably enjoy "500 Days of Autumn" too ;) I'm going back to be with Family n extended familee :D So sooper excited about shopping and enjoying this place as much as possible... I'll miss the plants at work n home... I went to Georgetown with Jilu the otha day and bought myself the Lost Symbol. The only time i could get to read it was on my way to work... Work's been amazingly hectic... Wonder who my replacement is. I've been seeing references to indian culture a lot on American television and in books. Wonder if it was always there n i just observed it now... Gotta give away a lot of stuff to goodwill. I think i have a block to blogging. My sentences seem to end abrubtly and i can hardly say what i'm actually feeling. Maybe the previous title 'Untruth personified' would defne this blog better now... I'm gonna miss a lot of things about this place. Coming here somehow helped me 'grow up', 'get a life', 'live a life' - all literally. I've seen how my friends have grown n changed - am glad i have 'em...

I have truly enjoyed every bit of my stay here.

silent night funny night

Yesterday was the first in a long time that I slept on a bed at home. Im not going to count the hotel rooms and friends’ beds. Sruti had been asking me to sleep in the bedroom from a long time and I kept putting it off cause I kinda felt like I would be intruding. But yesterday I gave in. Just as soon as I popped off to sleep, Anu called and so I went into the hall and talked for a while. I then got back and crawled into bed and what do I hear?!? Sruti’s screaming… She was so used to sleeping alone that she got sacred!!! ;) Holy Lord!!! I couldn’t stop laughing at her reaction. I kept giggling on my side of the bed till sleep took over. Awwwww…

 

RIP

 

 

A colleague at work came up to me… Talked about work and I smiled and moved on. He came back, like he had 3 months back. The last time he told me about his Father in Law’s sudden death and how his wife and her sisters and Mom were devastated. They needed money to keep the house running and so a job would help. I told him then to give me his sis in law’s resume so I could forward it to my frds in Hyd. He never did and so I thought well maybe everythings fine. Today he told me Hannah(his sis in law) was killed in an accident… the description was horrible. I don’t know her but I feel terrible and I had nothing I could say to him at all. His wife saw her sister after the accident and the images just don’t go away… I just had to pen this down. I feel very sad and I don’t know what to say. Nothing anyone says changes anything but I just wish nice people don’t get hurt…
