aaj free time hai, kal ho na ho...

and aaj shahrukh ki bday hai, kal to definitely nahi hogi :) (jotting this down on nov 2) (and shahrukh reminds me oh-so-very-much of SS, so extra-special wishes for him ;) )

yippee!!finally doodle-time again:)
been busy, more busy and even-more-busy past few months..somehow,i find myself unable to keep pace with this stationary-clock-mounted-on-the-wall-in-front-of-me! goodness, how it runs!!Almost year end, and the only free weekend i can see is next year. too much planning spoils the year i guess. but then again, it is this planning which makes the week rush past between the whirlwind weekends :)
currently, looking so-very-eagerly-forwardly to my 2 day Delhi visit, just thinking about it makes me nostalgic and makes me burst into tears again and again (silly me, but sachhi, cant help it.. i have way-too-many good memories associated with that place to not get sentimental) i dont hate bangalore now, in fact, i quite like it, but i wish i could have all my friends and relatives and late nights and good roads and maggi walas and paratha walas and shared autos and dtc buses and metro and sarojini nagar shopping and gurgaon malls and noida malls and obviously SS here too.... :( bas itna-sa khwab hai *grin*

first performance review in my new company last week.. the discussion lasted half an hour, (compared to the half a minute "ok?yes sir" last time!) and even in that, my new manager was shocked that i had nothing to haggle about, and that it only took that much time to read the review :) ab unko kya pata that i was expecting absolutley nothing good, so all the good and encouraging words were enough for me. i'll transform them into better ratings next year round,pakka se! seriously, over here i do luv my work so much *touchwood* ! if i keep getting such good work, then reviews and ratings are trivial things (with one caveat, that me and aTa can buy a house here soon!) have been pestering aTa with this house issue since the time i came here, but so far this (and the morning jog) are the only 2 things he doesn't listen to me about, and these 2 are the issues closest to me :( (except, of course,aTa :) )

celebrated my first "fasting" Karvachauth this monday. after the memorable feasting ones last couple of years, this one was very enjoyable too! N is such a dear to remind me of my past musings and those wild-n-crazy days!And he keeps reminding me all the way from Sweden that in friendship, distance simply does not matter! (i hope u know how much i appreciate that, N.. it is only when you are away from your friends geographically that u realize how precious their presence is :( Although i am in the same country as our 7th feb batch,u at least have the hope of being with it again after your assignment gets over, and sometimes, i feel so jealous..that u can be with our batch again, and our batch can be with u again.. i want to be part of it all tooo!) but then, that's just me being extremely greedy ;)hmm..having confessed to being so greedy, let me just go and grab that last chocolate cookie on the plate in the pantry ;)
wish you all the festive cheer and sparkle..:)
