A thought can be a beginning of a new story. Here are few. Friday, August 24, 2012. Working Saturday - through the eyes of an angry employee . Going to work on a Saturday? That too for a recruitment drive. What can be worse? Well getting up previous night at 1 am due to nasal congestion and feeling feverish and then not being able to sleep for next 2 hrs and then being woken up by a toddler crying for milk. How about that? Why do IT companies do this to their employees? Where is the motivation dude?

A thought can be a beginning of a new story. Here are few. Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Down the 'Song' lane. Yesterday evening when I wanted to tune into some relaxing melodies but not from any recent albums, I switched on to Sonu Nigam's 'Deewana'. Flash! Come to think of it, there are so many such songs. Mujhe rang de, muje rang de'.the first time I danced solo in a midnight birthday celebration at our hostel and how my senior mams screamed and shouted! Pairon mein bandhan hai'.our engineering. Just recentl...

You are here!: Power Cut
http://tanujamelkani.blogspot.com/2013/04/power-cut.html
A thought can be a beginning of a new story. Here are few. Saturday, April 27, 2013. With time I have learned to appreciate the perks of these power cuts. For when else in our multi-storeyed lives, we so freely open our apartment doors for ventilation and find the neighbor's door open as well? When there is a power cut and no backup power available in the apartment, that's an ideal time for people to get out of their shells.chat, sync up and share. Power cuts can be frustrating on a hot summer day and sp...

A thought can be a beginning of a new story. Here are few. Friday, January 14, 2011. So Riya turns 1 today! And I want to think all day about all things light and colorful. Balloons. Flowers. Sweet memories of becoming a Mom.As I wake up to welcome the day today, it is natural to get a little emotional. So I start thinking about the day when Riya arrived. I tell Sandeep, "You have no idea what giving Birth is like! Something to reflect about, Huh? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

A thought can be a beginning of a new story. Here are few. Tuesday, January 15, 2013. Making of "The Castle Cake". When Riya turned 3 in Jan, out of the several things I had fantasized coming true was a 'Castle Cake' for her Birthday Party. It is not important of how and where this idea settle in my mind:-) but I really loved the idea of a Castle Cake. But how to do you get a 'Castle Cake' made in Pune, India? The day before the birthday we went to finalize the order. The shop owner assured that the ...

A thought can be a beginning of a new story. Here are few. Saturday, April 28, 2012. Make Life an Occasion". The Life you have dreamt of is available now". I, Me, My Dynasty". Seize the moment, add glory to your Life". A Wife always dreams to live like a queen". Come over, experience the joy of fulfillment". Wondering what these attractive tag lines are for? It takes a 5 minutes drive into the streets of Pune for the mystery to resolve. Real estate advertising at it's persuasive best!

A thought can be a beginning of a new story. Here are few. Saturday, April 20, 2013. Yen idhayam udaithaai norungavey, en maruidhayam tharuven nee udaikave". So you don't know Tamil, then you won't understand what these words really mean. Try the Hindi translation. Dil hotey jo, merey seeney me do, doosra dil bhi mein, tumhe deta todney ko". Why do we still have so many regional languages in India? Why do we have so many across the globe? Coming back to translation, I know it will never be perfect, becau...

A thought can be a beginning of a new story. Here are few. Wednesday, February 1, 2012. It is more than a month now when we left our home in Portland and set out to relocate to India. The first month was planned to be spent with family before we could finally settle down in Pune. That vacation is about to end now. The time has come for me to make the move to Pune and I'm bamboozled! Let me think. When was the last time I cared about the '14 letter' word 'res-pon-sibi-lity'? There are regrets I confess bu...

A thought can be a beginning of a new story. Here are few. Tuesday, September 13, 2011. She saw a mother approach the play area with her infant daughter. The little girl was immediately attracted to the wood chips scattered across the play area and started brushing her fingers on that. There were few older girls in the age group of four to five running around the play area in their scooters. One of them saw the little girl arrive and ran towards her calling out her name. 8220;Manu, Oh, you are so cute!
