Suprise Me !!

I am a big sucker for "Suprises". I love it when ppl do things that make me go, "Oh My God !!". I love the feeling. It always make me feel the most special person and also makes me feel like I am very very important.... :) ....I like it when ppl go out of their ways to do things for me. I juss love it all... :)

Having said that....I am also (in)famous for not letting the Surprises planned for me go well. I have a great intution and almost everytime I am about to get surprised, I would either guess it or I would rech before time.... :( ....its really hard to Surprise me. I have been to some of my Surprise parties knowing that ppl have planned a surprise and have acted suprised... :) ....Its hard for my mind to rest....its constantly thinking....I guess thats the reason I guess most of the things that are about to happen....I also know how ppl think....so I know what they are capable of.... ;)
I take pride in knowing what someone is thinking... ;)

Today was one of the cutest surprises I got from Gautam..... :) ....Its our 3rd anniv today....I came home during lunch and was going to work from home after that....we went out to lunch...and when we reched home after lunch....Gautam said...I will be bak....I was like...no no...we decided no surprises on Anniv....so u cannot do or get anything....he said gimme 5 mins I will be bak....so he left and my mind got to work as soon as I took the elevator... ;) ....I was so sure that he will get me the Strawberry plant I have been wanting forever now....I was like...here we go....I guessed another of my surprises....so was not too excited and wasnt really waiting for Gautam to be bak....he came in about 15-20 mins and started knocking on the door....I opened it and there he was with a Beautiful Arrangement from "Edible Arrangements" ..... :) ....wow....I love the fruit baskets....I have mentioned it to Gautam a couple of times....but I didnt think of it at all....I was surprised and really happy....well....at times being the SA (Smart Azz) I am helps....I am confident that i wont go wrong and stopped thinking abt it....Good for me.... :)

Happy Anniversary !!

How long have you been married?

I have been married for 365 + 365 + 365 days....tats a lot of time....but than again tats juss 10.7142 % of my life till date.....well.....somehow it feels like forever.....i feel like i have known this life forever.....i have known this person i wake up with every morning for all my life.... 3 years is not too long....so i have been married for not too long but it sure feels like forever.... :)

The follow-up question to this is: "howz married life?".....well....lemme think....its lot of fun....and some more fun....lots of new excitements and at the same time lots of responsibilities and cooking and cleaning and taking care and fighting and crying....its lots of everything....i like my life....its not perfect as i am not perfect....its ups and downs and a lot of confusion.....but its fun....sure teaches me a lot.... :)

I like being married.....at times i am so busy with my life, i forget i am married.....it juss feels like i am living with this wonderful frd who is always there for me......and who at times is a pain in ass..... ;) .....to conclude.....married life is fun.....but u need guts to take eveything as it comes....and live everyday to the fullest..... :)

Claying Away....

I was that kid who is always covered in mud and who will always be on a heap of soil/mud/sand, digging away....who will always have black finger nails with mud filled in it....I was the kid who loves to play in soil/mud/sand....who loves to build castles....who loves the coldness thats hiding in the depths....:)

I love everything earthen....I love the look, touch and feel of it all....thats what inspired me to take up Pottery....I wanted to start with the Wheel Throwing....as it is classy and glamorous....most of the Romantic movies have the wheel....remember "Ghost" and the amazing song....Unchained Melody....Oh, my love.... :) ....But my instructor convinced me to start with Hand Building to get a feel of it....and I agreed....I took my first class almost 2 years ago and I loved every moment of it....I was facinated by my creativity and by my amazing creations....it was a load shedding "My" time....I loved it all....I became the amature Potter.

Finally after such a long time I decided to get back to it....and I love it all the same....:)

I love making things that are Earthen and Beautiful....A frd who is taking the class with me keeps wondering....how the hell did i manage to stay away from this for so long when I am so much into this....when I love it so so much....I dont know....

My best creation so far is the "Ganesha". Attached is the pic of the "Ganesha" in making....

Aunt Magic !!

I just read a cute Rap song witten by an Masi (Aunt) for her niece. It got me thinking...how many ppl have their Nephews and Nieces picture in their Cubes at work? On their Desktop? On the walls in their homes? oh well...I have it all. My sis has a 5 month old, I absolutely adore and love him. He is the center of my universe now-a-days. He is this cutest little ppl. I like to call him Little ppl. As I think he has his own little world where he understands all the emotions and he talks little ppl language. I also like to think tat he has some imaginary frd...."Ingi", "Agoo". Those are the words he repeats every time i talk to him. And he is a real smart fellow, so when I found out abt Ingi....he changed the name to Agoo....and when I found out abt Agoo....he changed it again....I am still trying to find out the latest one....:)

Some colleague at work has asked me consistently 4 times, "Is this ur baby?". The first 3 times I started explaining and said no it is my sister's...and blah blah. Well...the fourth time he asked me...I said "Yes, he is mine". I also have pics of my niece, who is almost 3 years old and my other nephew who is 8 months old. I said "These are my other 2 kids...One of them is from before marriage.....and the other 2 I had in a gap of 3 months"....god knows how i managed to do that.... ;) ....someone else said something similar..."I havent seen ppl posting their Nephew's pic on their desktop before"....And I said "He is this cutie pie who makes my every moment pleasant...he juss makes me smiles....so I like looking at his picture all day"....and then there are 2 more....my husband's sis's kids....the older one is 8 and the younger one juss turned 5....they adore me more than they adore my husband.... :)

Children are fun....Nieces and Nephews are the most fun....they love me...they like me....and they want to play with me...they like spending time with me....they like satying at my place.... I dont think my own child will ever love and like me me as these guys do.....and I dont have to clean their Pee and Poo and feed them.....wat else can I ask for....Aren't they the Best....:)

Downtown Calling !!

May is here,
D'Town living is near.

Let's get rolling,
And start our packing.
The space is tight,
But let's not fight.
Let's clear the fluff,
And donate most of YOUR stuff ;-)

We'll fuss over the budget
So that we don't regret
As expenses will rise,
We need to be wise.
But, let's not forget
Enjoyment IS the target

To Lake views, and Gorgeous sunrises
To Yummy food, and modern high-rises
To Trendy Bars, Discos and Lights,
To Hill-country Sunset & Glamorous Nights
To a new home
D'Town, here we come!!

Green Green....

Ok...I have gotten into this argument many times now....sometimes with ppl who dont care at all...or sometimes with smart-ass ppl who juss wanna argue for the heck of it....or sometimes with ppl who dont blieve in it at all....My argument everytime is: "Forget abt everything else....juss stick to one motto...Reduce wastage....Dont use more than u need..."

Some ppl say 'Global Warming' is a religion....like Scientology....which brain washes u....well....personally i dont mind either....its a matter of perception.....I am ok with Al Gore promoting "Dont waste" and calling it 'Global Warming'....I wudnt have cared much if he called it something else....as long as the goal is the same....I am ok with Tom Cruise promoting Scientology....as long as I am not forced to accept it....

What i truely believe in is 'Dont waste'.....whenever I look at my cutie pie nephew....my mind goes....I want everyhting best for him....I want him to have everything i have and much much more....If I dont waste today....I am preserving for the future....for the next generation....My argument is always the same....why do any of us want to use more than we need??....Why do we want to pollute and spoil??....

Call it watever u like.....juss do it....Reduce, Recycle, Reuse.....

All said...."Reduce" is something my Hubby totally believes in....Today is Earth Day....here is how it goes....

Sumita: was thinking....kuch karna hai kya for earth day
Gautam: such as ?
Sumita: i dont know...go to whole foods
Gautam: go to whole foods ?? just to do grocery shopping or bcoz u expect somn else cld be happening?
Sumita: Grocery bhi and also maybe something is happening there...
Gautam: whole foods tak drive karke jaana is not helping the env.
Sumita says: hmmmm
Sumita: shane....
Gautam: hmm .. a li'l bit shaana .. but sach bhi toh hai .. ??

Sumita: how abt we run to whole foods
Gautam: sure .. looks whos the real shaana .. y don't u do it
Sumita: hmmmmm

I trust you...

I had a best frd in college....lets call her A....I use to tell her everything.....absolutely everything.....After 2nd year....I decided she is not adding any value to my life so I made a call of not hanging out with her anymore....I decided not to hang out with her and I also decided not to tell her about my decision....When i think abt it now....It is one of the most rediculous things I have ever done.... :( ....Ofcourse I never told her abt it....oh well....I never realised this before....We juss werent frds anymore after tat.....

One day....one of my other best frd, lets call him B, asks me "How can you do this to me?....I trusted u...."....apparently....my Best frd A told my best frd B abt some secret....I was very angry and desparate.....I went to A and lashed out....."How can u do this to me....I tursted u....u were my best frd and u are supposed to keep all my secrets....."....And the ans I got frm her was the most rediculous one....she was like..."Why r u lieing abt A?".....I shouted bak saying...."Tats none of ur business....u were supposed to be a frd and u failed me.....tats it....u broke my turst"....

Its been forever for all this to have happened....but still sometimes...I have an urge to set things rite.....Go and talk....argue abt how I trusted....tell them over and over again...."I trusted you"....how do we get out of this....even if we are all grown up, mature and all....still we can never forget the frds who broke our trust.....

What is this Trust?? What does "I trust you" mean?? At times it feels more like a burden than a compliment....what do u mean when u say..."I trust u"....is it plain and simple...I trust u...and i know u will get it/do it.....or is it....I turst u so dont let me down....its ur responsibility....

I have always been big on Trust....I have always talked abt trust.....I have said this a 1000 times to a lot of ppl who are dear to me...."I turst u".....or "I trusted u".....but somehow when i heard the same thing frm some1 else....it sounded a lil ridiculous....it sounded as if....we will never grow up....it sounded as...This trust thing is never gonna let us make the Past go and live in the moment.....

Oh well....if we juss can learn not to confuse trust with love, frdship and relations in general....it will be so much easier and better.....
