In unison with Nature!~

Feeling the wind of the eucalyptus on your face...
Craving for a glance of the city deep below...
Stiffening holds during the bends...
Stopping by to eat magosteen...
Open air lunches and waterfalls...
The trek up Ooty is to die for!

Queen of hills~~~





The Nilgiris (Blue hills) - my home for 6 years. Nazareth Convent - the place that laid the foundation for what I'm today. Like VG always says, "School is the place where you learn values for life." Dormitory life, prayer before meals, noise, pranks.. everything in me comes from there!

Saturday tuck shops!! Standing in a line would never bore me anytime :) Saturday was the much awaited day for all boarders where we could pick our junk for a certain amount to fill our study desks with food. Lollipops, chips, kit kat, peanuts, naturo... never will I forget those times when we 'SHARED' our tuck! :) LOL! 5 of us put our food together so it looks like we've got a lot. You think so? 5 ppl eating 5 ppl's food is equal to one person eating theirs! lol! whatever! :)

Stealing carrots from the carrot fields, sneaking into the woods, stealing ice apples from the convent gardens, collecting poppy seeds from the principals garden, making noises in the dorm in a gang, hiding to eat grub from under the table during study, rushing for an early bath, waiting for saturday morning and wake at 8, innumerable sports day drills; march past practices; dances for sports day, FAN business (LOL!), December chills, most awaited summer holidays and weekends, smell of eucalyptus, pine garden, Bethlehem fair :) :), and a lot more memories remain afresh!!

Love you Ooty!

Lonavla/Khandala - September 7th to 9th, 2007

September 7th, 2007
The much awaited Lonavla/Khandala trip started off with a BIG boom! We started the wait for the train with the news that we did not have tickets confirmed for the trip! Out of the 55 tickets that were booked... 10 were supposed to be canceled... Whoever the fool of an ass was canceled 45 tickets instead of canceling 10! So we had to travel in the general compartment... and yeah WE DID!

We pushed and rammed the general compartment... bullied the laymen on the luggage rack!!! And we found our places in the compartment TO STAND! hehe! Yes... we stood for more than 3 hours and it was awesome fun to pass around the lil juice packs and chewing gums we all saved for the train! After a lot of talking and convincing Zubin (tour organiser) found a few seats for us! Sarmistha and I managed to squeeze into one berth! We woke at 5 in the morning and found all the guys awake... we gave them our seats and sat for a while!




We arrived at Lonavla at 10:30am on the 8th. We hurried into a van and went to the hotel. We hurriedly changed up for the waterfalls!! After a small drive we arrived at a spot called Liril Spot! It was a beautiful area that was all green... and yesssss loads of flowers!! We took a scary trek down the hill (3 kms) and reached the water fall!! It was a beautiful sight and all the other Googlers plunged into the water!! After 3 hours of awesome fun we proceeded for a Gujarati lunch. We then went to Tiger's Point. Like the name says it is a view point which looks over a beautiful valley with many waterfalls pouring themselves down! It was a breathtaking view! We then went to Amby Valley. Amby Valley is a spot uphill about 40kms that has all big shots guest houses and bungalows! It is a restricted area that u can access only till the entrance area! Amby valley has its own runway for private jets to land! We then went to sunset point and sat for a while watching the sunset... It was beautiful!! We then went back to the hotel... but the next mishap was up! We ran out of petrol! Finally we reached our hotel at around 9 and then had a bath ;)

The next day was a fun filled day which i thoroughly enjoyed! We took the train back to Hyd at 3:15pm and reached hyd the next day morning! I ENJOYED THROUGHLY!!

Cheers to the Hydooglers@google.com ;)

My best friend's gonna wed!

My Best friends gonna be wedded!! Congratulations Aarti!! Love you loads! Really really happy for you!

Storm in a coffee cup!~

STORM IN A COFFEE CUP!~

It is easier to change one's religion but never their coffee!~ That's an amazing line by Barista. It's human nature to think of someone when they see something! Well... coffee reminds me of 4 best friends I had from college. Son, Mon, Reddy, and Shilps. We can sit in this place and yap about the most stupid things on Earth for hours. We can frustrate all couples who end up in this place. This is our job when we are here. And what do we pay to reach this place? Just one coffee... someone buys! (Mostly Reddy) What do we get for what we pay... Hours of chat/gossip, Gallons of laughter and many many memories! Love you kuthus!

My first bouquet~

August 2nd, 2007.
Nailed.
Stuck.
FOREVER!


A small step... but the beginning! Hoping to do my best in this new phase of my life! Great day! Wonderful intervals between the various good news! The first ever bouquet I received! Thank you!

I call this phase of my life - WORK! But in office... no one calls it so, or at least no one feels so! I've taken a small step ahead and gone on to an additional process in the company. It's nothing BIG in the company. Just an additional process. This thoughtful act made me feel really BIG. It was encouragement that meant a lot. Yeah yeah am talking senti senti... but it has to happen to you! You'll know! Worth it! :) :)

Love ya Loads!
