Diwali Memoirs

Diwali as everyone knows is a time for grand celebrations in India and whether you are young or old you always get swayed by the euphoria of this festival of light!

As a kid it was always something to look forward to-having bowl with the friends, fun with crackers and ofcourse lots of mithais and sweets...Still remember how my brother and I used to land up on Bhagal area of Surat from where we used to get hold of lots and lots of fire crackers and that too at a very low rates-and we bros preferred sound rather than light-so our arsenal consisted more of bombs rather than fuljharis and rockets!! :)

We maintained the perfect tradition of firing our bombs as early as 4:00 AM in the morning and wake everyone up plus all the delicacies prepared by mom were a treat as always. Going to the temple on the New year day and meeting friends and all to great them on the occassion is now something to look back and cherish when you are away from home..

Afterall home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule.

And hey this pic is of my bro-celebrating diwali with some fireworks-not sure if he still celebrats it the same way :) he he juss kiddin

Looking forward to it as always here's wishing everyone lots of happiness in the times to come!
Hope everyone has a sparkling time this season!! :)

Leave Me a Loan ;)

Life flows like a river and you move on leaving old paths behind and try to forget what happened in the past-but damn you’ll always be “blessed” with few people who always keep you reminding about old things. Yesterday only one of my old friends told me on phone “You made a big mistake by letting her go…

Phew!! Well I don’t know if what happened was right or wrong but I do believe that every step you take and every decision you make plays a very important part in where you land up eventually. And I can say I don’t have any complaints regarding where and how I am right now!

The only thing is that i'm looking to do is to reach to the higher skies-Guess what-now I’m again planning to go back to studies-yeah wanna do post grad.-as I wrote here before, I always wanted to do MBA and now I’m planning to do it from the BEST institution abroad. I think I have what it takes to be at the pinnacle and GMAT can’t come in my way…

The only thing I’m skeptical is about finance so it could help if you please LEAVE ME A LOAN!! :) he he [ Pun intended ]

Anyways I’ve started working out things for my dream in the meanwhile here’s something that I found amusing and it’ll surely put a smile on your face.
Its called a Woman’s Poem –not my creation :)


A Woman's Poem


He didn't like the curry
And he didn't like my cake.
He said my biscuits were too hard...
Not like his mother used to make.

I didn't prepare the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.

I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Isn't there anything I could do
To match his mothers shoe

Then I smiled as I saw light
One thing I could definitely do
I turned around and slapped him tight...
Like his mother used to !!!!!
