RIP, India's Daughter...

Do i as a girl feel safe in a place that i call my country? Can i step out of my house feeling secure? The answer is No, not only me i bet any female in my country has the same question in her mind right now. It was a shock to know that i am living in a country where there are men who are so brutal to cause such pain to a girl. My heart goes out to the 23 year old girl and her family who demised today after being brutally gang raped and assaulted on 16th December 2012. I was watching the news today where every official from our government said that they will take every step to speed up the justice process and punish the 6 men who were involved and amend laws for rape victims. Does India really need an indecent like to wake up, do we really have to sacrifice like this to bring change. What happened to her could have been any of us, it could be anyone in my family. Lets not stay silent, let not her life go to waste. Our government has to understand that they cant treat women like this, they have to take better security measures for us, and punish those men.

Its difficult to understand as to why a woman is ill treated like this in a country where we bow our heads down to goddess like Lakshmi, Durga, Kali etc. its painful to know that some men in this country just think of a woman as a sexual object. 
The Delhi Police has been going on and on about increasing safety measures for woman in the City, what i don't understand is that how do they plan to do so when their own officers are sold in Rs. 100 and I'm sure we all have bought them at some point or the other, caught for speeding offer the cops 100 bucks and they are sold. These are the men who are employed to protect us? I'm not saying that all cops are such but we have a majority of them in the system.

I am not posting this to blame anyone, I'm just sad and heart broken for what a girl who was one of us had to go through, she was brave and fought for her life after all that she went through for no fault of her's. she was a fighter and hence the name "BRAVEHEART".

REST IN PEACE, INDIA'S DAUGHTER...

Christmas 2012!!!!

Can you believe this 2012 is about to end......Gosh this year did pass by so soon, Well a lot has happened good, bad, ugly. However its time to now move on to another year ahead of us, with new dreams and new hopes to look forward to. Well I just finished uploading the Christmas pics so just wanted to do a quick blog its been a while since i posted anything here....

So for Christmas i as usual went over to my sister's place, We kinda had things planned up but in her house who follows the plan!!! So as per plan we were to get up early on 25th and go to our aunts place for Lunch, but instead i got up late and we reached our aunts place at 4 pm for Lunch. Darn the scolding we got lol!!! Anyways so when we were there we were talking about the Christmas Dance that is held every year, and somehow we did plan on going there.

So we reached the Dance at around 11:30 pm and guess what non of the cousins had reached so we went back to the car and did a bit of Car-o-Bar, i am sure you know what that is lol!!! Finally everyone arrived and we went in and trust me the next 3 hours were one of the best times we have had.

Finally we came back home at around 4 i guess but i can say that this was yet again one of my most memorable Christmas!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Kelly's Birthday Picnic.....

So finally today was Sunday and as mentioned on the previous post it was Kelly's birthday picnic, so we all gathered at Nehru park, now the fun part about this park is that we have been going there since we were kids. I don't remember the number of picnics we have had in that park.... lol.... so as always our host was late and like every year i want to be at her party or even as a GUEST but i always end up being a HOST.... anyways i guess i enjoy it so can't complain.... hehehehe So most of the cousins were there and was alot of fun and we also witnessed Kelly go through SCS (Single Child Syndrome) hahaha well she was just jealous coz there was a cute little boy who was getting some attention. Now i know it cause i have gone through this, all my cousins have siblings but i was the only one who was a single child and i hated it when i was not the center of attention. So here are some pics from today!!!! Must say had alot of FUN!!!!

Kelly's Birthday!!!

That's the Invitation i designed!!!!

Its Kelly's Birthday today.....!!! OMG it hard to believe that my little angel is turning 7 today, honestly it feels like yesterday when my sister was blessed with a cute little angel. She is very dear to me and is a very important part of my life. I just pray that all her wishes come true and may the almighty god shower all his blessings upon her. Well since its a weekday my sister decided to celebrate her birthday on Sunday when all family members are available. So on sunday i guess she has planned a picnic like old days....just cant wait for it lol!!! 

Team Captain...!!!!!

I have no clue what kind of emotions I am going through right now.........I have a set of mixed emotions or I must say that i don't know how to react..... So although i knew it from Wednesday as i did receive an email from the manger regarding a write up about me, but i obviously could not react as i had to be discreet till the Organizational Announcement came out. However ever since the email has come out i have no clue how to react hahahaha.... well i guess I've just not been able to digest the fact and hopefully eventually I would get use to my new position at work :).

I just wanted to write this quick post as I just wanted to thank everyone who has been a part of all those Crazy times when i went totally out of control, confused and crazy!!! All my friends who stood with me during all the rejections i got in the past and I am pretty sure i don't have to mention their names as I am sure they know I'm talking about them. Thank you guys for all the support and encouragement you gave me and specially thank you for all those long talk we had, my tears that you guys had to bear. 

I just want to say that I Love You guys and am so Blessed to have you all in my life.

 

Book of the month….

So finally after 4 years of waiting I finally got this book…” Silent Partner by Dina Matos McGreevy” this book came out in 2007 however I heard about it in 2008 on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and since then I have been waiting for this book to be available in India. So finally on my birthday I saw this available on Flipkart and I asked my friend YD to order it for me. Well since I got it I have only been able to read the first chapter but I really am looking forward to finish this one….

Here is what the book is all about.

Source

The truth behind the lies.It was an unforgettable scene. Dina Matos McGreevey, an attractive woman in her mid-thirties, wife, mother, and First Lady of the state of New Jersey, watched silently as her husband, then New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey, resigned his office with the revelation that he was a "gay American." The picture of grace and loyalty, perfectly composed in her pale blue suit, Dina Matos McGreevey gave no sign of the tangled mixture of fear, sorrow, and anger she felt that day, no hint of the devastation that was to come. Since then she has been asked repeatedly about the nature of her marriage, about what she knew and when she knew it. Since then, she has remained silent. Until now.

Speaking up at last, Dina Matos McGreevey here recounts the details of her marriage to Jim McGreevey. What emerges is a tale of love and betrayal, of heartbreak and scandal . . . and ultimately, hope.

It all began with so much promise. Dina Matos was a responsible and civic-minded young woman who fell in love with the passion of political action. When Jim McGreevey walked into her life, he appeared to be a kind and loving man, someone with whom she could build a life based on shared ideals, a strong spiritual commitment, and a desire to make a difference in the world. Beyond their initial chemistry, Dina Matos was attracted by Jim McGreevey's principles and his unwavering devotion to his work. She didnt know that his life, and thus their marriage, were built on a foundation of lies; that his past was littered with casual sexual encounters in seedy bookstores and public parks; or that, by his own admission, he began an adulterous affair with another man while she was in the hospital awaiting the birth of their child. "Could I have known," she asks "How could I have known"

With scalding honesty, she tells of her life with the former governor, of the politics and public service that brought them together, and the lies that tore them apart.

Here is a story of a marriage that was anything but happily-ever-after, told by a strong and resilient woman who can, and finally will, speak for herself

Happy to u Aarti!!!

So finally its Aarti's Birthday today well did not really plan much of it as things lately have been super busy in our lives i guess, along with that out of all weekends this was the weekend Dodo planned to shift her house so imagine her birthday weekend is being spent while packing....lol!!! However coming to the point we did manage to slip in sometime to celebrate hehehe.... Well this post is just for her she is my best friend well i guess we are soul sisters that's the best phrase for us LOL!!! I just hope all her wishes come true including her wishes for me hehehehe.... 

SO here you go Aarti Ahuja!!! 

Happy Birthday my Lovely Bitchy Friend!!!

So i framed this for her!!! 

My Family!!!

Just wanted to do a quick post on my parents... Somehow lately i have been missing them a lot, i guess the cause of that could be the way i have been feeling lately. To be precise i have been super lost and confused lately and i know it deep down inside me that if my parents were here with me they would have solved all my queries and shown me the right path.

Daddy n Mum on their Wedding!!!

Who can fight with destiny i lost them in 2005, ever since then i have been on my own and overtime i found myself lost, all i had to do was close my eyes choose a path, always felt that they are right besides me in all my decision. I know its stupid but that's how i felt. Some how lately i cant get those visions i don't see my parents guiding me anymore. Now maybe i could be because i probably don't think like a teenager anymore LOL!! However that does not solve my problems, sometimes i just wish i could pick up the phone and call my dad up and talk to him, like many of my friends. That's when i realize that i don't have that option.
I miss them a lot, well i was only 16 when they passed away. Even after all these years there is just one wish i have, that has never changed, that's is for them to be besides me. I know i cant turn around time but i can just cherish the memories i have with them.

Our first Family Picture...Maa, Paa n Me (22nd September 1988)

Miss you Maa & Paa!!!

Confusion.....

I'm not sure as to what i really want in my life. Honestly when i was a kid i had other dreams and different plans for my life, and i must say i was gifted with parents who always said "Anisha you have the liberty to choose what you want to be." but i guess that bubble burst quite soon when my parents passed away.

After this i was devastated and had no clue what i wanted to do, I knew it for a fact that it was me all by myself. Soon i gathered my self and decided to move on in life and wanted to make my parents proud, now since i was on my own i had to find a job that would support my education and my life. Around that time the best option available for me was in the BPO sector so i grabbed the opportunity without a second thought. Until then i think all i had in mind was to work my ass out and earn my living and manage to finish college. Although i wanted to Designing (jewelry) i could not afford that in my situation and i made up my mind that BPO was the only option for me as i just could not afford my dreams. I completed my graduation in economics and a year after my grads i joined my current work place which I am glad to say is not a BPO.

When i joined this place i had it in my mind that i am gonna make the best out of this company, i had my goals set right and i knew what i wanted.....And now suddenly i have that same feeling all over again. Its seems like I'm lost somewhere i have no clue what i really want to do with my career. I have been thinking about this over and over again and all i conclude is NOTHING.....i don't know if this has ever happened to you when u think about something and get no conclusion on it.

I just hope i can get out of this sooner cause if i stay like this its gonna make me crazy :D

Life is a Mess!!!!

So i have been wanting to write about some things that have been revolving my mind lately.... to be honest i have no clue what has been troubling me since the last few days..... is it the stress at work, stress in my personal life or is it the stress in my friend's life that has been kept me occupied. 
Well to talk about it work stress...... there is so much i don't even know where to start with...... so if i just keep it short and simple its been a roller coaster ride all through the month.... i applied for a job posting and there are no results on it i am dying out of curiosity and honestly well work has just been busy with the constant tussles and cold wars from here and there and trust me there are more but no point mentioning them here.
Now to talk about my personal life it as always has been a mess well as usual i should say..... to be honest i am use to it now i guess, cause anytime my life is smooth and stress free i kind of get nervous thinking i fudged up somewhere LOL!!!! So i have this huge To-Do list that i have been trying to complete since i the last 3 months and guess what i have not even started on it, the icing on the cake is that i have to complete all this before Christmas and UGH!!! i have no clue how to work on it. Its been crazy this year i have never been so stressed from work somehow this time i am unable to balance out the time between work and home....

So the conclusion to this mess is that my Work-Life Balance sucks and i better do something about this soon..... or else who knows right now i am 3 months behind scheduled soon i might just be a year behind schedule LOL!!! Honestly i so don't want that to happen. I guess a little focus would help but have no clue how to do that....(any and all suggestions are welcome).

**Please comment below to to get me out of this misery, who know something might just work out.**

Just a Thought.. Cont...

So i have been really thinking a lot about whats been happening around here and trust me i am like super confused..... on one hand I have this really nice guy (Guy A) who says he loves me and is think of a long term relationship with me and on the other hand there is the guy (Guy B) i like, he says he loves me more than i can imagine  however at same time is not planing to settle down soon. Which i know means that he clearly is not looking forward to a long term thing. So this has been really a battle for me to choose who i want be with.
So here is the thing u know for years i have been alone as i lost my parents when i was 16, was in a relationship with a guy for 3 years and we broke up 2 years back when he got married, and since then i had closed my self to any possibilities of being involved with a guy. Last year when i was at my brothers wedding i met Guy B who is also my brothers best friends we liked each other and eventually met again and talked over the phone.... although he is 28years but still seems confused in life and not sure of what he wants to do... he says that he likes me a lot and cares for me and considers me as one of his closest friends. Honestly that is not enough i want more.
Now like i wrote about Guy A in my last post he is the kinda guy every girl wants.... he talks the talk makes the moves and so on. He says that he is in this forever and wants to spend his life with me, grow old with me, have a family with me. Sometimes he seems like a guy right out of a Mills & Boon Novel hahahaha. I just love the way he treats me.
However the battle here is between my Heart and Brain.... My Brain says that Guy A is the best for you and my Heart supports Guy B. I just hope this confusion  comes to an end soon.

Just a thought!!

Here i go again..... well call me a wimp but honestly i don't care what anyone thinks of me as of now, well your probably thinking what I'm talking about..... well here is the deal i think i met someone in the recent past and has gotten into my system. Now I'm kinda scared... lol!!! Well see for normal people this is good its magic.... but the kinda guys i have dated in the past the whole relationship thing is kinda scares for me....I've probably ended up getting hurt by a man more than i have bruised or broke my bone. I know what everyone says that not all 5 fingers are the same but aren't we forgetting something here..... all 5 are fingers different shapes and sizes but they all are fingers at the end of the day. i guess I'm sounding more like a person who hates men but that is so not true..... i kinda prefer male friends that female friends, i must say i have had best of friends who were guys. So cutting this out here my story....

So i guess it was a month back a boring Sunday night well i had a sleepless night and had no clue what to do.... so like anyone else would do i decided to utilize the Internet (trust me Internet is god for me true life savers) i went online and logged on to my Gtalk, now that's something i had not done in a long long time. So going through my online list i saw this guy i had added may 2 years ago and pinged him "Hey". Well certainly disappointed i got no response and i started chatting with other online friends. Next day afternoon when i got up i saw a ping from the same guy that said "Hey" and without thinking i responded the same to that he replied "Is that all I'm gonna get from u a 'hey'?" and that's how it started. For the next few days we chatted for hours and got to know each other until i felt comfortable enough to share my number with him. Well now we talk n apparently he loves me.... and wants to date me.... i seriously love talking to him, he makes me happy makes me feel special.

Well i know how people think/talk about Internet relationships..... but honestly sometimes i wonder online guys cant be that bad... i told him that we would give this thing a shot but honestly it has blown my mind away. i just don't wanna get hurt again......but at the same time i want to see what this has in store for me. I heard this quote in a movie "Life is what happens when your planning it" maybe i should take a break and see what this guy has to offer me. With an open mind i think ill get into this relationship if it works out it would be the best but if does not i really would want to Punch him on his face hahahaha!!! ..... well that's it for now so long!!!

Mah Birthday!!!!

So i know im late to post this but yeah celebrated my birthday on 22nd September..... Well what can i say it Rocked!!! Like everyone say that they are blessed with the best of friends.... i say the same but i really mean it..... thanks to my friends my birthday was drunk and rocking.........

So at exactly 12 my friend Aarti.... came to meet me at work with my favorite cake **Blueberry Cheese Cake** yumm!!! and we cut a cake in the parking of my office.....and must say it was indeed the best surprise i got.....Later she waited for me to finish my work so that we could go out for a few drinks.....well it surely did not stop at a few drinks.......after that i came to my workstation n my team had ordered a cake for me as well just love them...... i left office at 4 am............picked up some booze went to a friends place (Rahul) and drank till 1 pm........ Darn we drink like a fish hehehehe 

Later came back home in the evening and were planning to go out somewhere when my friend Jyoti (Jo) stuck my mind..... wondering why she did not call me i dialed her number and to my surprise she tell me that she has planned everything for my birthday and all i have to do is wait for the day.... confused i asked her what date it was and she answered its the 20th...........trust me i  could not stop myself from laughing and i told her that its 22nd and she has forgotten something hahahaha......

with a lot of guilt she said sorry and asked me to meet her i told her that me and Aarti were together so she called us to HYPE a club here in delhi and we partied all night..... 

The next few days were more like Ugh!!! hangover >>>> lets drink to kill it >>> darn im drunk lets party!! >> Hangover again :p

Random thoughts....

This is weird they say "if you love someone set them free if they return their yours if they don't they were never your own". What if someone sets you free and you realize their worth after they have moved on or probably found someone who gives them the love and respect you were once suppose to give. Not to be harsh but how long should one wait for someone? I guess practically speaking 'Eternity' is plain simple stupid, who are we kidding in today's world who would wait for one person forever.

One of my friends got married to her high-school boyfriend who she had dated almost 6 years before they got married. Like all other couples they also had their share of problems, however over the years the problem increased to an extend that they lived under the same roof not as a couple but just to show others. She did everything possible to save her marriage, even counseling. Some how he always suspected that she is dating someone, to make him believe that this is not true she went to an extend that she tagged him along where ever she went so that he could witness what she did, still nothing worked worked out. Finally after 9 years of fights and domestic violence she gave up and moved out of the house and filed a divorce. For 9 years this guy assaulted her mentally n physically. When I asked her if she was insane to bare all this crap for so long, her reply amazed me, she said she was simply in love with him. She eventually got a divorce and moved on in life.

After a few years she a met another guy who treats her like a princess, loves her takes care of her and now the husband comes back and says he is sorry and what's her back in his life... Is this really fair to her for what all he has put her trough does he even deserve to stand in front of her. Sometimes I think people just take their partners for granted and when they realize their worth its just to late. One should always appreciate the person who loves you and give unconditional love to them.

My new Camera!!!

Hey guys so this is a post for my new Camera I bought…. Nikon D40, now I know many of u would think why I went for such an old model where in there are upgraded versions of the same. Well my answer to that is, I bought this cam from a friend who upgraded his cam and wanted to resell it. It was in a very good condition and for a starter like me who does not know much about DSLR’s I think this was a good option to go for… my plan is to learn to use a DSLR using its manual mode and when I get a hang of it probably move to an high end DSLR.

Here are some pics that I clicked using my Nikon D40….

Well during my sickness i had a lot of time to Google and since i was bored of sleeping within the first 2 days i chose to just read anything and everything on Google/ Wikipedia, well i guess falling sick is not something i like or as a matter of fact anyone would not like...  I was thankful as it was only FLU... by sunday i was feeling better so my sister decided to take me out on a scooter ride... it was fun for sure.
