Ya ya... I know... I keep disappearing for ages and then re-appear!
No more excuses, I have been lazy - very Lazy!
That apart - I also did't have much to write about! Then you'll wonder if I am going to write anything of substance now - the answer to that is that NO.
Life is just going onnnnnnn...... hmmm... I think I should have an affair - It will pep things up a bit! But then I get to meet no man interesting - well - that is apart from Sujit! And he is my husband - so there is no point in the affair! :(
Hmmmm....

Another month gone
Phew... how time flies....
Its been a month since I wrote anything on you my dear Merry Times.
This past month has been extremely painful month for me... what with my vertebra's acting like a stiff rod with electric jolts ever so often... Am debating on surgery or ayurveda....
Sometimes I think what the h*** as well get the surgery... but then there is chorus, who don't want me to take this option or rather are advising caution.
That apart... I seem to be missing out on all actions in the conference team so far - for the first event I was on LTA, for the second event my little fellow was not keeping well and now my health has given way... I think my tenure in this team is jinxed!!! Hmmmm....

On Chandra and Being Single
This post is dedicated to 'My Friend Chandra'!
Well to quote him "I am wondering what is happening to male members in the Indian society? Suddenly there are voices stemming in support of men. May be the Indian version of “Save the Males” is going on? "
:) Chandra is valliantly single and feels the need to reiterate his singlehood to get through to all 'un-single'people.... he feels threatened and his non marital status questioned, when he is surrounded by his fav mylai mamis!!! Many a times, I am lost in mirth at his urgent explanations, there are times when I join the mamis in chorus on the merits marriage and then there are times when I quietly accept his take on bachelorhood!
Recently, one of his posts on trials of bachelordom was published in Times of India, since then he has assumed an air of righteousness of cause for bachelordom.
I however, look at it as the drowning indignant voice of bachelordoom!!!
(Disclaimer: I have no vested interest in promoting marriage as a successful institution. I have no disagreements against the cause for greater bachelorhood)

On Motherhood
I read so many posts on motherhood... and somewhere along the way I feel that I must post something about my son too!!! I feel I am being negligent about my little one by not putting him on my blog....
So here are photos of 5 month old, 1 year old, 1and 1/2 year old & 2 year old Dhruv!!!! The latest I'll update shortly.
On what he is up to .... I mentioned in an earlier post about his trip to Pre-school... Well he goes to his pre-school now albeit tearlessly... but with great sorrow.... Every day morning - my home is a war zone - filled with tears and recrimations!
Well he is likely to cry for the next 17 years... he has to go to school... so I suppose all practice is good practice!

And then there is Christine
She carries the burden
the burden of the world
her shoulders are bent
and she stumbles
But then...
she looks up to the good Lord
and she draws
she draws her strength
Afterall...
she thinks..
Poor man he suffered so...
then why wouldn't I suffer
So on she goes...
In her march to eternal kingdom
suffering persecutions
loudly going crazy
Once upon a time...
she had a sound mind
she had a clear smile
But now... well I let it be unsaid
Well what more can I say
she has all the trappings
She is of the right make
there is no doubt in me
That she is st.Christine!
Three cheers to this most hon'ble saint!
With lots of love just for you Chris!!!!!!!!

So much to tell!!!
My dear blog,
It is good to be back... and it is good to talk to you:)... without the prying eyes of anyone focussed on me... it becomes easier to write! So many things have happened since my last post...
Dhruv has more or less settled in his play - school! Now that calls for lot of cheer... although must say that, he refused to go there today and was apprehensive this morning until I left that I would sneak him away from home without him realising it!! Somehow... the fact that my child looks at me with suspicious eyes is an unplesant thought... hmmm... the gloom is setting in again!
That apart, my back has truly given up on me, the doctor has given the verdict. Unless I take some drastic steps to correct the medical issue, I am likely to be in pain... a lot! Am planning to get a second opinion, it is always good to have one's worst fears re-confirmed! It takes a weight of the mind :)
Am settling in OK in the new department... I have a newer boss:).. that is my new boss left to take up another post, and I got myself a new boss - again. Well, life goes on... we had two big events/ conferences. I didn't do much for it, however few things are being planned... let me see how it goes!
Oh... I forgot ... we were served notice from court... it seems the property on which our flats are located is under dispute. More to the point one of the possible owner says that he did not get the amount of money that was due to him... :)... so he has raised the hell... and we may not exactly be in soup.. however it is an issue, a worrying issue!
Hmm, Vinu is getting married this month end, picked up a gift for her... Naga's due date is in october... I have to get her the Ayurvedic concotions :)... it will be helpful!
Christine... well she is a story by herself and I have to dedicate an entire post just to her... I will just say that I am worried for her!
Hema.. she is back to her crazy chicken days... I hear that she travelled with the super boss for the council meeting... have to get an update on how the trip went! That will be interesting!
Of Pa drake... the news has kind of died down... looks like he is settling well in his new pond!
The lovebirds are boring to say the least. They multiply rapidly and have canibalistic tendencies... they eat their own chicks!!!
Am planning to get a hill mynah for Dhruv :). I am sure he will like it!
I am signing off for now.

My son goes to Pre - school!
Ish - the tears, the accusing look... he dollops out huge scoops of guilt in my direction!
Boy... it is painful!
The first day went of in a jiffy - he went and before he realised , we - his parents walked out in a hurry and he adjusted.
The second day he went into the play school with apprehension but under the mistaken impression that we would stay with him. I tried to correct this assumption but somehow he was convinced that we would not leave him there - alone in the big big world! When we left him I heard a howl of protest - but he was jolly enough to sing few rhymes he picked up from me.
Then it was the third day - tears and protest started the moment I stepped into the campus and he hung on to my little finger. I distracted him with a toy and walked out - I heard his cry before I walked out of the door. When his granny went to pick him up - he burst out into tears of relief!
Today was the fourth day - and he is unwell - running temperature and down with a bout of cold - again! After his first medication in the morning he was up on his feet gleefully waving us bye as we left home for office. The relief of break from school was so evident on his little face that I found it funnily cute :)!
I really don't understand the reason why a kid that young has to be made miserable. Am sure structured formalised learning can wait for another 2 years - he would have adjusted to crowd better by then too.... Well that is it from me for now!

Sufficiently intoxicated
A cough syrup, can be sufficiently intoxicating. According to Sujit :).... in India up to 33% of people are addicted to cough mixture. I can actually picture it... if a hausfrau from a 'straight - laced':) family wants to get drunk and drown her sorrows... would head for her medicine cabinet and down a bottle of benadryl! Nice... very nice!
You are wondering why I am talking about cough mixtures :)... truth be told... I wish I had a bottle of benadryl... I have a terrible cold and have been coughing on and off... other relief giving measures I can imagine are a nice hot cup of diluted tea with a dash of brandy,2 cloves, some lemon an drop of honey!... if not that then... hot toddy's mixture of hot water, whiskey, and lemon is welcome anytime.
More suggestions come my way... brandy, honey, lukewarm water and pepper
Well , there are n number of recipies... just that I am not in the right to have any of them... :(
Adios... dear blog

Its a God Foresaken Land!
The title is self explanatory. God foresaken land indeed... And I am tired of it!
Never say Die :) - The art of taking S***
Never say die, never say no
You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die
- Jon Bon Jovi :)
Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never, never, never say die again
- Black Sabbath!!
And the story ends there!

A poem from a 10 year old's perspective :)
This was something I wrote to cheer my friend up... He wanted to write a poem for a ten year old. The poem which he wrote, I felt was rather gloomy and sad... so I decided to make a poem in 15 mins flat... and the result is for you to see! You must remember that the poem is supposed to be a 10 year olds perspective and done in haste :)
I run, I skip and I talk
I sing, I play and I walk
I see mysteries, I keep secrets
I have my dreams and I have my fears
Will my teachers crib?
Will my parents commend?
Will I score distinctions?
Or will I fail my tests?
I am reflection of my parents desires and their dreams
I am myself , my prizes and my schemes
I make up my own stories, I make it in my den
Where is my barbie and where is my Ben10?
Oh I love my computer
And I love my yo-yo
For my dreams I need an interpreter
And then there is Pogo
What year are we in?
Oh it is 2010
And I have another 5 years
To go before I finish my tenth.
I see television
I hear news
I know there is pain
And I know the issues
I know it can be done
I have certain views
How unfortunate
No one asks me for the cues
I am sure I can solve
And that I can resolve
But since no one asks
Off I go back to my world
I run, I skip and I talk
I sing, I play and I walk
I see mysteries, I keep secrets
I have my dreams and I have my fears
I run, I skip and I talk
I sing, I play and I walk
I see mysteries, I keep secrets
I have my dreams and I have my fears
Will my teachers crib?
Will my parents commend?
Will I score distinctions?
Or will I fail my tests?

Phew... Its been really long time!!!!
Truly long.... and I believe - I have missed you my blog...
Dear Merry Times,
I thought I would take my writing seriously here on you but I made a hash of it! I have not bothered to write two serious lines continuously and it has reflectedon you. Not being able to write seriously has indeed been a very 'strong' failing of mine! I tried to break the mould and do something about it and created another blog, for some serious writing. But then again I lost the plot. :(
Now I write, re-write and then write some more but invariably erase it... luckily I have the leeway to change my mind about what I want to write as often as I want.... imagine if I were trying to write/ type on a rickety old type writer... or even do it by hand ... refill paper, ink, cartridge, whitener/ eraser... phew... writing was indeed a tedious process until advent of computer with its bakspace/ delete button.
Life of a person attempting to write 'even' something silly has become 'truly' easy!
Oh.. .you wondering as to why I have not written in ages. Well, took a short break from work and banned computers from my life!... actually I went to this far far land... where the almighty presence of internet/ and you my dear blog is not yet broadband. So no blogging! Am sorry dear Merry Times... I have indeed been negligent towards you...
But am back now.... DID Ya miss me???
I am also going to bring about some changes here... I will not be writing anything about my office from here on... With the departure of Pa Drake and subsequent changes in our office setup... life has become smooth and tad bit uneventful. So unless something seriously unusual happens I won't mention my official work.
Then what am I going to write... Wait and Watch...
And all of you my dear loved ones... be prepared for a different me this time around... Hopefully!

The dog days of IPL
Everybody and his aunt-by-law's grandfather and the grandfather's dog are writing about IPL, and so I join the chorus .... You, I suppose, are wondering why I have broken tradition and am commenting on something not relevant to my day in my office... well... simply because IPL is the talk of my office!
CSK was beaten again and this time round by Deccan Chargers! Boy.... have the bad days come home to roost? Off go the two Aussies and bad times visit CSK for good....?
I have decided that the whole IPL is rigged!
The season will belong to the teams in rotation! I have several friends who willingly subscribe to this theory too!
Will the Chennai Super Kings see better times? Let us wait and watch.....

Hmm... Is it true... new day new beginnings???
So what happens to Charlie's Angels... they get on with their lives?
Where we are concerned... yes that is what has happened... but that does not amount to us not missing Charlie!
New departments... and new work... I have yet to settle in... actually my mind faces a stumbling block... am unable to settle in!
But I guess it will take time... Have been used to Pa drake aka Charlie aka Makarand for two years.... so the departure is yet to settle in!
Pa... missing you
Yours truly

And Pa Drake flies away !!!
Have been wondering for a long time on how best to write this post... have not been able to put my thoughts into words... so the long delay in publishing this post!
Its been two very interesting years I have had with Pa :) as my boss! The first year I was not a duckling... The first year had its ups and downs... we even hit a patch of really bad and stagnant water, but Pa found way to maneuvour around set himself in a slightly better pond and I joined him!!!
It was in the second year after Hema joined us that we were jointly moted (I won't say Pro or de)to the duckling status! The second year had its own downs and ups... and today Pa drake flies away!
Pa drake has quiet number of quirks, but the most remarkable one is that he can stick his head in water for long and not come up for air for really lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnggg time! Hmmm... not sure how many fishes and worms he got that way - but he sure liked the water!
And now, Pa is flying off to a new, much - larger lake - he sure is abandoning us, but then am sure he will get plenty of better fishes and worms, however I hope he doesn't settle for stagnant water and instead decides to use his webbed feet to swim around and stay fit.
Well here is wishing Pa drake a good flight and wonderful landing... may the new lake be to your liking and may you stay healthy and fit always! AND importantly may you catch bigger and better fishes, find more planktons and eat tasty worms :)!
Love and Regards

Flattery!
“I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.”
- Eleanor Roosevelt
This quote made me laugh the most! But then I found another gem...
Take no repulse, whatever she doth say; For 'get you gone,' she doth not mean 'away.' Flatter and praise, commend, extol their graces; Though ne'er so black, say they have angels' faces. That man that hath a tongue, I say is no man, If with his tongue he cannot win a woman. - from "The Two Gentlemen of Verona"
:)... I think these quotes are kewl!!!!

On Pleasing!
It is happy for you that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are they the result of previous study? - Jane Austen
:) Well, I dare all to repond to this comment!
Are we rehearsed, flattered or coerced into pleasing? How does one take the call?
Hmmmm.... think!

It is Tuesday!
Another 3 days to go for the weekend. It is a bad sign for your career when you start feeling bored on the second day of the week!
I have been asked to follow-up with members for some silly survey form they are to send in! and let me warn you that I have not made a single call! If I ever had a chance to meet Mr Bell I would surely like to point out that his invention is a pain in the wrong place. Not that it doesn't have its usefulness but calling up people for any silly thing is truly booooooooooorrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnnnng! How can I be more emphatic about the word?
Hema is back to her Chicken Little character act!It is a relief after the Annual report madness - that was part of the Mad Hema Disease! Well the Hema Little is WELCOME anytime!

Again... was there a need for it at all?
I found this on the web....
" Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends."
and then, I ask myself was there a need for it?
Have I done right or have I done 'unright'? If it were 'unright'... I ask pardon... if it were right then "who are you to cast stone on my glass house."
I repeat for all to ponder on "Was there a need for it at all?"

Hmmm... The road not taken!
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
...
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Frost captured the gist of my story in his poem. So I have nothing new to add the road I did not take!

:) Today has been interesting!
The executives of the first floor have been castigated today for coming in late and leaving late!
They have been told off for having 30-45 mins long coffee breaks and 21/2 hour long lunch breaks. :)
They have been told not to be on chat and basically stick to work! (Am secretly thankful that posting on blogs was not mentioned!)
I completly endorse the above sentiments.
But then... well... ahem... never mind!

To be or not to be is the question!
The question is simple in itself.
My decisions and thoughts all centre around this question To Be or Not To BE!
To be fair or ...
To be good or ...
To be shackled or ...
To be here or ...

Back with a Bang!
Baaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnng!
:) Hi guys... long time ... no see... no hear... life's been busily boring. The C******** person thinks it is because she has not been sermonising and evangelizing me to the true Christian way! Thank God for peaceful times...! But then religion has always created unrest in me!
But all is for good. Being bored is also good... as it helps me appreciate good times when I have it.
This morning started bad... coz my baby decided to have a crying fit just as I was leaving for work. That apart the morning has been smooth sailing so far.. did some silly pilly work and got my desktop cleared. Read some gossip on one of the websites... tried to read a newspaper. Well so far it has gone that way
What the rest of the day holds... I'll update. Until then it is Chao!

Surrogate Invitation
Let me be your surrogate for the day out! I’ll go to the places that you are supposed to go. Enjoy food that you are supposed to eat, make merry while you are supposed to make merry :).
Jeezzzzz..... imagine the life of one who is surrogate! Its like cindrella dressing up for the ball and going to it uninvited.
Hmmm... that apart, I have been given the task of writing another speech! It is irritating to say the leat! If a person can't write his or her own speech then why insist on holding the mike and facing an audience?

Its that time of the day....
when a hammock and some really nice music calls out loud!!! Just for moments like these I wish I were in Pune... when I could go and trouble Danesh for his hammock... listen to some lovely music on his system, nurse a nice drink from his collection... and relax! :)
hmmmmmmmmmm.... but then a sumptuous lunch always puts me in this mood... Thanks to my boss had some lovely beef and fish fry! I was worried... if I sat any longer at the restaurant they would chop me up and fry me. I was that stuffed!
Thanks Makarand!

Me too...
Its me too day... I wanna do what everyone else is doing!.. I don't know what everyone else is doing... I see the C******** person staring into her computer (She's wearing glasses and hasn't still learnt the lesson), Hema is wearing down her keyboard thin (she's typing 150 w/min - WOW!), Vesta is looking bored (and she is obviously pregnant), Naga is stuck the phone, Betty is clicking send and receive button of the Outlook Express...
What would I be like if I stared at the computer, typed furiously while looking bored and talking on the phone - I think I'd be Hema then!!!!

After yesterday... a sad tuesday!
The day started out quiet sad... what with my son asking for Appa, who has set forth on a mission to find a bride!!!
Then I came to office... and here I am sitting bleary eyed - due to lack of sleep - tired as tired can be and wanting to put my head down on a pillow and go to sleep! But then that is not possible... so I type out silly posts on this blog and read joyful quotes!
Here is a pearl of wisdom from Pearl S Buck " The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it."

After a dull morning... its a sunny afternoon
And it is truly sunny... :)
My eyes have been opened to the wisdom of the Lord. Thanks to the resident Saint of this organisation. I believe this organisation would have gone to the dogs but for this holy person!
That apart it has also been the week of sulks... Talk about monumental sulks, one has to be where I sit to understand it! Dictionary.com defines Sulk as - to remain silent or hold oneself aloof in a sullen, ill-humored, or offended mood! And BOY... is it Sulk or what! I have not seen a better exhibition of childishness than what I am witnessing... but then who am I to complain ... I am equally bad! LOL
For those of you who don't understand what I am talking about... please contact me in person :)

Guten Morgen
Aloha... guten Morgen... good morning... and all else!
Its a day to take stock of ones situation and work out strategy! :) its also the day to start some work. I wish Mondays would never happen.... It is the day that brings about all the wrong questions/ and throws in your face, last week's remains!
On this depressing note... I get back to work!

Feeling coooold.... brrrr...nope.. am feeling HOT!
Feeling the cold? It could be all in the mind. According to some article I read, cold is a subjective term.
That apart... Feeling Cold All The Time? The tendency to feel cold is indicative of circulatory problems and issues, as it is blood flow which causes us to have a sensation of warmth.
And why does one feel hot????
Because it is summer and summers in Chennai are hot! :)
People now I am feeling cold... now I am hot... no am feeling cold... nope its hot... How does one diagonise this now???? Krazy Kya?

In the name of God...
I believe there is a God of Traffic Jams... This god is a Super God and the minions in Kahakis add to the general morning chaos. Add to this a pinch of bad traffic habits, some loud blaring horns, few pot holes on the road, some school-going children and the morning gets of to a fine start!
One of these days I plan to get my handycam along with me, just to get a third eye view of this scene... I am going to do the shoot at the Velacherry checkpost, you know near the traffic signal and Guru Nanak College. I am doing the video on a monday morning. It is chaos at its best!
Then I am going to forward it to "Rippley's believe it or not"
Traffic Management at its best- is how I plan to call it. I am open to other suggestions too!
Ok... that is traffic for you... but that apart, life has been smooth sailing so far. But it could always be a lull before the storm breaks... am actually waiting for the storm!

A thought is just a synaptic transmission...
... For this pearl of wisdom, I have to thank Sujit!
The very fact that even a thought boils down to just some chemical locha in the brain is quiet disheartening! And, I was giving myself credit for all these profound, pearls of wisdom that originate in my brain... I should actually have thanked the chemicals!... I always thought, I should have paid closer attention to my chemistry lessons! I suppose it was all those chemicals in my brain giving me loud hints about their existence!
The discussion on 'synaptic tramnsmission' happened after Sujit likened my posts on the blog to disjointed, frivolous ramblings of a slightly crazed mind!... He also took pains to assure me that, if he were a first time visitor to my blog, with no inkling to my minds chemical lochas then he would conclude from my ramblings that I needed to be put on Clozopin!... Sujit did I get the name correct?
That apart the day started quiet well... Christine has been at her best behaviour and Hema is acting sane for a change! Surprises happen!

Oh - the joy of guardianship!
Consider this... there are the Charlie's Angels and then there is Bosley ... Have we ever given a thought to him???
Now here I present Charlie's Angels and Bosely in action... only interesting bit is that Charlie has recruited more angels and the angels are more interested in eating barbeques than solving crime!
However, one case that needs to be solved urgently is Christine's obsession! Yes... yes... I know... I swore that I would not mention the C person on the blog... but this is unavoidable and truly vital.
What is it about the obsession that is so obsessively obssesive is beyond my comprehension. But for those of you who think they can help me solve this vexed obssesive issue please do contact me in person!

This blog is about me!!!
or so I think... but my blogspot seems to have maximum number of posts on Christine!!!
So from here on I have decided to cut down on the dosage of christine for all of you... unless she does something dramatic... you'll see no more of Christine on this blog!
I'll for a change concentrate on HEMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA......
Did you guys know that there is someone new in Hema's life????? Guess Who?... For all those who give the right answer, I'll give the latest issue of Deccan Despatch!
Hmmm... that apart gossip has it that... she has been keeping some odd hours of late! I suggest all of you ask her what she has been up too...
That apart.. I have been questioned why I haven't updated my blog for sometime now... well guys... I did say earlier weekends are sacred family time so no blogging for me on saturdays and sundays! And the friday was an abberation.... was not in the right frame of mind to write anything!
Am supposed to be working on someone's presentation... I'll get back to it now... will write again on Hema's new interest soon!

On scheming women and Pink Glasses!
Has anyone had the patience to sit and watch the Saas- bahu soaps on Indian TV?
If you have, then am sure you have come across, "The other Woman" who has seduced/ bewitched/ snared the innocent hero! The innocent hero is so ensnared that the Holy wife has to ride to his rescue and save him from folly that will bring ill-repute to his Family Honour!
St Christine feels that most women by default fall into the category of "The other Woman!" It has never occured to her that "The other woman" has better ways to spend time than mollycoddle some slly spineless 'hero!"... But then, such things never occur to her!
and she in her holiness needs to counsel these fallen women to mend their ways! Hmm... Did I tell you that St Christine wears Pink Glasses?

To be peterpan
He can fly!
He flewed!
Now you try.
I'll think of a mermaid lagoon, underneath a magic moon.
I'll think I'm in a pirate's cave.
I think I'll be an Indian brave.
Now everybody try.
One, two, three!
We can fly! We can fly! We can fly!
And down we fall again!
This won't do. What's the matter with you? All it takes is faith and trust. Oh! And something I forgot. Dust!
Dust?
Yep, just a little bit of pixie dust. Now, think of the happiest things. It's the same as having wings.

The price of one's soul!
Do you guys remember 24th Pullikesi's whose soul is not worth any precious coins! Well this post is all about price of ones Soul!
Keeping in mind that I only write about serious issues - I have decided to tackle the topic of materialism and mercenaries!
Materialism is desire for Maya! I am grateful to all of you for asking "Who is Maya?"
"In most of Hinduism, Buddhism, & Transcendentalism, all matter is believed to be an illusion - Maya. Maya is the limited, purely physical and mental reality in which our everyday consciousness has become entangled." Text adapted from Wikipedia.
And mercenaries are people who sell their souls for Maya!
I have several mercenaries who run after the unattainable Maya! I also suspect it is a case of the forbidden fruit tasting the best! In which case a person can also pawn/sell his/her soul to get the fruit!
And I spy a green christine sitting cross - eyed across the cabin. She doesn't care much for Maya and she won't let anyone else enjoy it! A case of extremely sour grapes!

I sing all de day."
Look hyeah! What you axing'?
What meks me so merry?

- From A warm day in winter, Paul Laurence Dunbar
I kinda liked the poem, so wanted to share it with all of you.

Accused of writing frivolously!
I stand accused of writing inconsequential, frivolous stuff. And the person who has dared to raise the accusation is Sujit (my husband)!
Now make note, he doesn't mean that my writing is boring, he just thinks its frivolous! He also thinks that I am scared of writing on serious topics. Me... scared?
I wonder if I should pay much attention to his observation? Coz eating into me is the fact that he is a trained/ practicing psychologist! Does it give him an inside edge on my psyche? Hmmm...
Keeping in mind the above comment... I have decided to write on the serious issue of law and order and the amazing deductive capacity of our police force. I will also write on 'Dindivanam Slippers.'
To start off - Please make note of the disclaimer: the following bit is entirely hearsay. Any truth in the below statement is incidental and the fabrications are strictly writer's liscence. And no... noone is allowed to sue me!
It so happened that the visitors to the flat were about to leave, when they noticed that their moped was missing! I suppose they never thought someone would want to steal it, afterall, it was a relic from 1980s, almost falling to pieces. That someone would want to steal it is an insult to the vehicle!
My god... why am I writing like this???? Sujit... sorry... this story cannot be told this way! No masala to it...
Ok guys.... a bike got stolen- no... not a bike, moped! A moped got stolen from a 150apartment complex.
Deduction 1 - watchman on duty thinks that somebody actually dismantled the whole thing and threw it over the compound wall, so that they could reassemble the machine in peace piece by piece! (Hmmm... says a lot about the watchman... doesn't it?)
Deduction 2 - The Sub-Inspector has deducted that someone from Dindivanam stole the 1980 relic. This is truly an amazing piece of deduction! This deduction came about based on one slipper recovered from the place of crime! The one slipper, my fellow reader, is the "Dindivanam Slipper". The SI said "Sir this slipper is made in Dindivanam. Only people from Dindivanam wear it. So whoever stole the moped came from Dindivanam!" So the SI has promised to follow-up on this amazing lead and solve the "Case of the missing moped and the single Dindivanam Slipper"!
I think I should go back to reading my Nancy Drews and Hardy Boys! Clue... clue... where is it???

A good weekend is the secret...
... to a relatively happy monday morning!
I also quote a quote which I have taken fancy to... for all of you
" The one serious conviction that a man should have is that nothing is to be taken too seriously."
~ Nicholas Butler.(1862-1947, American Educationist)
Have a good week!

And thus ends another week!
Well mah dahlings....
and thus ends another week!
Now I run away from this land of nothingness
This paid-for-vacation of meaninglessness
This land of avarice and silliness
And where do I go??
I go home
For some much needed perspective
For some relative calm and some much needed sense
For some rejuvenation
Rest and Relaxation
Bye Guys!

I have been castigated!
I got a headache because of my previous post... I have been told off very soundly for not having commented on Makarand.
Now here I am respectfully maintaining the boss-subordinate equation and I get told off for it! As if that were not enough... both Christine and Hema think that I have been rude and are shooting occassional jibes at me!
Since Makarand thinks he needs to be considered unique - all I can say is - Makarand all else pale in uniqueness when compared to you. You are an act by yourself! There that is the best thing on uniqueness I have mentioned so far!
Anyway this post is not about any of them, its about the 24th Pullikesi :)- And I also want to talk about Topper and Ramada. :) Then there is Casper - the friendly ghost!
Now Topper and Ramada - what can I tell about them - the hotshots so immersed in themselves and the world they have created for themselves - one dependant on the other for successful completion of the mission! :)
Oh 24th Pullikesi - for the uneducated ... the 24th Pullikesi is the direct descendant from a royal family - he is in-charge of all things he surveys and his soul is worth no precious coins - just like his esteemed predecessor the 23rd Pullikesi. Well any which ways, his ill - fitting trousers are a must buy for the fashion conscious.
And then there is Casper - the friendly neighbourhood Ghost :) an interesting animated character - don't you think.
Well, I suppose, how these above mentioned characters connect? Well now imagine if we had a movie plot binding them all together... His Highness 24th Pullikesi with his trusted and incorruptable soldiers Topper and Ramada and the friendly ghost casper set out to conquer - unconqured lands far and wide! Hmmmmmm.... ?
Any takers :)?

Hema is a unique individual - so is Christine!
And then there are some individuals who belong to the never never land :), few others have been transported from the cartoon land and then some others come from the zoo/ forests!
I know that, my reference points to world and people in it has drastically come down... and most inferences are from my immediate neighbours. Betty as I mentioned earlier is a nice girl... then the other immediate points of reference include Saint Christine, Hema Little and Makarand.
Given the fact Betty is a nice girl - I refuse to use her as a reference point in this post. Also the fact that Makarand is my boss acts as a big deterrent in using him as the reference point!
Now for the people who remain and from whom I get inspired everyday:
Saint Christine is a unique individual who comes from the never never land! We need to find a Peter Pan for her to play Tinkerbell to!
And every one in the office will willingly acknowledge that Hema Little needs to be transported to the Disney studios. And she will fit in well with the animated/ cartoon characters. As a matter of fact I am sure she'll run away with the Oscar for the best animated character!

The story of love and post valentines blue!
:) Good Morning India!
This topic actually is a lift off from my friend Chandra's questionnaire. Not that I received the questionnaire yet... but he was talking about it and I thought of this topic to write.
I did tell you, tuesday the day clears a bit , so my brain is in semi - work mode!
And I anyway love writing on the topic of love.
Hmmmmmmm... Well I am not going to make biblical references to what love is here - its well recorded and I am sure most of us know - 1 Corinthians 13: 1-8. But that apart love also means :) red roses, chocolates, gifts and good food - and yipee we have the valentine's day. Poor St Valentine must be turning in his grave!
That apart that is the day Pink Panther found his love jodi! poor guy he had to wait for Feb 14 to find that one true love of his love.
But then we have Christine... who only loves the Good Lord and has decided to maintain her spinsterhood for eternity! And then we have Hema who is hunting for love... no... she is hunting for the guy she should marry. Or should I say... she is hunting for the love she should marry (those are her words).
Then ofcourse, we have the married ladies... who couldn't be bothered... they have love and life! :) or so I think!

Weekends are sacred!
I suppose everyone finds time to blog on saturday and sunday, but these are two days I do not allow myself to go near my computer. One reason is that the days are strictly family days to eat, to sleep and make merry!... Two because I have a 2 year old who insists on joining me at the computer, every time I turn it on.:) Although it is cute to see him type away with so much of self-importance... I find it quiet unhealthy to let him spend more than 15 minutes at the screen. So computers are strictly off limits on saturdays and sundays... hmmmmm... atleast until he is a few years older.
Then there is Monday which has, as usual, started with a hangover of R & R... so am taking it slow :).

I need spiritual touch in my life
and Christine - the unofficial saintess, provides me with it everyday! I am going to send her name to Rome I want the Pope to beatify her. Failing this atleast put the official halo around her head and glass case her for her tenacity in leading me to true faith.
She has decided this afternoon that my soul needs redemption and is convinced that, if she doesn't pray for me I am on a direct descent to Hell. By the sound of it even the purgatory will not be safe from me!!! hmmmmmmmm...
All my attempts to convince her that the Good Lord is happy where I stand now ... has not borne fruit. So I leave it up to her to pray for me, while I say a prayer for her Jolly Good God!
:)

Its so blah.... being cooped up in the office!
Today, like most days, is not a day to stay cooped inside the office! It is a day meant for the sun and sand! Nice daiquiris, sound of waves (I don't mind simulated sound :))and a lovely book.
I have been trying to lay my hands on Amos Oz's A Tale of Love and Darkness. Its a book I have wanted to read for quiet a while! I think today would be just the right day. Its a non fiction work - more on lines of memoir. I read somewhere that Oz wrote this book after the death of his mother!
Hmmmmm... or some nice music, maybe even karaoke. Ya that'll be fun!
I have this problem - on Monday I have a hangover of the weekend's R & R, on tuesday the day clears a bit, wednesday is the day I work, thursday I start winding down... on friday my brain refuses to think of anything related to work! This is truly troublesome... cause Hema sits right next to me... and for some strange reason... even when she is silent and working... she gives out crazy vibes! I did tell you that she is a crazy chicken - right?
Christine is very quiet today! No homilies have come my direction today... that means she is still upset with us for not taking her on a drive and plying her with sinfully rich ice creams! She missed ABBA too! That is unforgivable I guess. :(
Things stand that way for now... shall come back soon with more!

It was icecream and ABBA
:) What better can one ask for... ice-cream and lovely music and of course drive along ECR!
People! I must say, our boss made up for the missed out lunch! We need no spiked tender coconut or fresh seafood!
ABBA and icecream did the trick - just right!
And ABBA being ABBA brought back such fond memories!... hmmmmm... but to be young again!

The reason to get married
In my earlier post I said that marriage is a slow adventure - a few people have been left wondering if I am against the institution of marriage and few others think that I am disappointed in marriage.
I am writing to clarify this impression. Rest assured all, I am blissfully and happily married and recommend it to one and all.
While there are few compelling reasons to stay unmarried... I feel there are some truly, even more compelling reasons to enter the matrimonial state! :)
I won't give the usual c*** about companionship etc... thats all there... you and I know that. I found that the benefits of being married includes getting a free unpaid chauffeur, a coolie of sorts, a baby carrier, a personal entertainer ;)and of course all this comes with free boarding and lodging. Boy! Life is Beautiful!
Marriage also brings in boring things like stability and security in life! But hey... we can't have all things in life can we??

On being a Chicken on Valentines!
Today I'll excuse Hema for being the usual crazy chicken...
Today the honorable position of "the Chicken" goes to Makarand, who after extending us colleagues an invite to go for lunch managed to ditch us!
Not done Makarand - certainly not on Feb 14 - this grave insult shall remain etched in our memory forever!

On being hairy and successful industrialist!
As mark of respect, I would like to mention Makarand, my boss. Because he was the one who pointed out that being a successful Industrialist means becoming bald by 45!
I conclude that all hairy businessmen :) have invariably inherited their businesses from a generation of baldheads!

On curd and speech writing!
What can I say about curd... it finishes of the meal just right! And is a habit I picked from Latha !
And what do I say about speech writing. As hema likes to say bakwasoon ka bakwaas!
Its good to be a speech writer among other things, cause it makes me feel good when Industry bigwigs mouth it verbatim. And then there are times when I want to write something silly so that the reader of the written text will read it out and all can have a hearty laugh! Something like " While India is growing at 9% per annum I am growing more hairy with each passing day." Now, can you imagine anyone reading that?
I should do it sometime!

A mention of friends!
:)... This post is entirely on popular demand!
My friends have been demanding that I say something good about them here on my blog. I am finding it a tad bit difficult to be nice on demand but I shall try. Now I have mentioned only the ladies here... on the men I reserve my comments!
Well you know about Naga, apart from being the inspiration behind the blog, she got a nice hairstyle from Bounce recently!
I have also mentioned Hema who is the demented chick/ crazed bear cub. She is hmmmm... she is.... she is... crazy! and that is the nicest thing I can say about her!
Christine... what can I say about christine... she needs to be put inside the glass case and placed on a pedestal... she is the saint! saintess? saintly? :)
Then of course there is Savitha... darling girl she is!
Latha is an inspiration.
Thendral is the breeze.
Theja is amazing... as always
But Hema... she is crazy!
Vidya is the Hog!
Betty is nice!
Vesta is pregnant!
Vinitha is Vinne the Pooh!
And then there is Hema... as I mentioned earlier she is crazy!

Sheesh... the schools these days
For crying out aloud...
The more I think of formal schooling for my little one ... the more jittery I get.
Just yesterday I got to hear this horror story about a Pre - School facility called Primrose. The place requires that the kids they admit in the pre-school learn to knead dough so that their wrists can become strong enough for the writing assignments they give.
Can you believe that? In pre-school what writing assignments do children have?
Also the other requirements of the pre-school include kids being able to identify alphabets, vegetables and colours... oh I forgot... they also require that the child understand and speak English!!! I wonder on what do they plan to teach?
Sheeeeeeesshhh... when I heard this, I kind of hit the roof! I mean... why should a two and a half year/ three year old know any of this? I feel so sorry for the children whose parents put them in that pre-school.
This just goes to show how ineffective we have been in putting an education infrastucture in place. The infrastructure I am talking about is not buildings and etc... as I am sure you understand.
The need of the hour is to put systems and checks in place to monitor the activities and curriculum of Pre-school/ Pre KG and KG . The focus of such institutions should be on children and their childhood. Any school/ schooling system that do not adhere to the set curriculum should be disbanded with immediate effect.
Actually what we need to evolve is effective child rights. I mean, just as all children have the right to education, toddlers should have the right to happy childhood with learning to socialise, playing and fun time being the order of the day, not the tedium of writing A B Cs and learning your colours and vegetables. Childhood certainly shouldn't be about learning to knead dough to strengthen wrists to write.
Anybody who advocates such thing should be put in prison for advocating/ promoting child labour!
Yes I know I sound indignant... but I am so thoroughly annoyed! I wish I could do something to close down the institution. But Primrose is just an example of all that is wrong about our educational system. A lot has been spoken about the system... but the question is who will bell the cat? Who will take the call and say enough is enough...
The politicians/ netas/ babus? nah... they couldn't be bothered.
The CSR aware industrialist? ... :) you are kidding right?
The teachers? ...
The parents? No. Most parents I meet wish/ think that their child(ren) are whiz kid(s) with IQ above 190!
The kids??? Poor little infants with no say on what their future should be about! So no go there either....
So who will take the call?

When was the last time I did something interesting???
Well thats been a while.
I have come to the conclusion, if one wants to do interesting and adventurous things then, do not get married! :) And.. if you do get married...be in no hurry to become a parent.
Now, I do not mean to say that marriage is not an adventure in itself, but it is a rather slow adventure. Which means going one day after another! Slowly...
We can't for obvious reasons, cram one year's activities (!) into a single day... now if one were single and happening then the story is completely different!
Wondering what the obvious reasons are... ?
- loving husband
- adorable baby
- sweet mother
- husband's ego
- Baby's needs
- Mother's 'time for self'
- work (only official)
huff... with all these reasons to consider... where is the time for adventure?
Within the sacred institution of marriage (hmmm...) one has to tread softly, can't run around like a bull set free in a china shop. Bull dozing :) the way through one and all.
Although, I have this feeling that my husband has set me up as a bull, because he tries to wave a red flag in my face so often! But it is of no consequence, I still tread softly! (Although it is not the right gender of the animal... I know you get the idea)
You are wondering about the reason for the post. Well, its nothing particularly important, just felt like writing. :) That happens once in a while.
Of late, I have grown particularly partial to a comic strip in The Hindu called "Rose is Rose". The alter ego of Rose is this super woman... I woke up today feeling like the alter ego :).
So here I am, Super Merin!
Aloha

Oh... its been one of those days.
When everyone around me is busy and I sit and stare. Bad... truly bad...
And I have a den mate who has been acting like a slightly demented chicken or crazed cub bear - but that is Hema for you!
What else can I say about my day
It has been just so blah
With nothing going the right way
I huffed and I puffed
But alas.. it all ends in dismay!
But never fear Merin
for tommorrow is almost here
And off you go home
For life awaits you there :)
Adieu!

:) And that is how I started a blog!
I have finally... finally done it! I have created a blog for myself! and I should thank my friend Naga for this :)... Naga - Thank You.
I have always been too lazy to maintain a diary of my own. Hopefully this will prove a break from laziness.
To all who visit merry times - welcome!
