So I have finally chopped off my hair and got a real short haircut done!
Well.. im hoping, really hoping that it would compliment with the blazer and skirt and well... my extra-round face!!!

I have everything new this time.. in a particular order.. right from my new haircut, to sunglasses, to new earrings/studs, to lipglosses, to NEW YORK pendant sorta in my neck, new tops, new perfumes, new darkpink wallet, new bangles, to leggings/jeans, new dark purple huge handbag, to new shoes... everythings BRAND NEW!!;) and hundreds of other cosmetics and shampoos!

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! and now hopefully a slightly slimmer me in a couple of months!
lets seeeeee :P

but again.. somethings never gonna change and so all in all ..its ALL GOOD!

Even when he doesnt tell me that he loves me on a daily basis

even when he doesn't bring me flowers unless and until i pay for it

even when he doesnt  really surprise me except my bdays

even when he gets insecure to the extent of cutting me off my friends at times

even when he yells at me at the top of his voice for calling him over and over again when i noe he's busy with something

even when he smokes insanely and doesnt listen to me

even when he sleeps early when i expect we would have a looooooong late night  phone call

even when he hates the idea of going to a nearby lake and sitting there in the middle of those typical couples

even when he's not even slightly romantic unless u remind him to be one

even when he ignores me while watching sports completely and doesnt reply to my texts

even when he plays cricket all day and forgets to call me

even when he makes me feel like complete shit at times

even when he calls me in the morning just because hes scared of me and not becoz he wants to!

even when he always and always and always forgets our anniv. and then pretends that he wanted to give me a surprise!

even when he calls me MOTI again and again

even when he never forgets to mention that m the most fake and dramatic person hes ever met during fights

even when he doubts me like a maniac coz of the most stupidiest of incidences

even when he's really not a big fan of dogs

even when he shamelessely stares at other hot chicks walking by and doesnt stop for minutes

even when he doesnt really get along well with some of my friends

even when he makes me cry

.....despite all that...

I feel he's the PERFECT guy for me.. and that we're meant to be together.
does this happen to you too?
It's been 1.5 years now and we're still going strong! haha who would have thought.. :)
Even after putting me through so much torture, he manages to wrap me in his warmth so easily.. its not even funny!

He's made an exception for me in many of the cases mentioned above though and i like that difference :)

back to India..
happy but missing the good times

times spent with family even if its for a lil over 2 days, u get completely sucked into the family dramas and happenings, get wrapped under immense warmth and never feel like coming out and again face the world on ur own feet! its been 1 and a half months now i have been with my family and the very thought of going back to Bangalore well...isnt too encouranging!!!
 
life in bangalore is pretty good but again home is home!! 1 year of college left in bangalore... i desperately have to look out and start figuring out options so that i can be with my family atleats for a year or so after i graduate! and that too, before i plan something solid for myself like an MBA or something after 2 years! havent given it a thought yet as in the master's part... but let's see!

everything looks too uncertain and blurred right now. and everything else also largely depends on well... i guess its too soon to talk about it right now!!! so i will save it for later!:D

on an upside down, id be meeting P after so so soooooo long!!! loads to tell him... GOD cant wait!! distance really does work wonders -sometimes! its not always bad!!!:) it improves soooo many things! right now i feel exactly the way i felt in march last year! something i cant explain! and its funny how lil i have written about P here on LJ... I have always thought its something really precious and special to write about here! lets see i might just be a lil soft on myself!

sleep time.. my biological clock is screwed. need to get back on track before i fly out to Bangalore!
so good night folks!

I have always been a crazy strawberry lover....even if it turns out sour i won't throw it away..il eat it anyhow!
so this was my first time@  strawberry picking in the farms of northern California.. and oh my god.. was it heavenly!:)

The strawberries were HUGE and BRIGHT red and FRESH! I picked soooooo many and ate like in dozens while picking them up!
I had soooo many of em..i nearly skipped my lunch!:D the mountains, the bright sun, strong winds, people i adore, strawberries rolled in mud yet fresh... just perfect!

sniff...i dont wanna go back frankly... 1 month of pure pure pure pure pure puuuuuureeeee bliss!!
being sooooo far away, u naturally get away frm most complicated matters of ur life left behind and it just feels soooo right being away!
 
ofcourse m happy for more than one reason to go back....but here life was just perfect! WHAT a perfect summer BREAK i have had!!!!:)
I feel extremely refreshed and im all set to take on! living a PEACEFUL life with hardly any idiotic issues surrounding me was surely a HUGE refreshing break i have had!

I luv it here....definately wanna come back but to some major city and SO NOT suburbs! 
gonna miss sis...too much i think

sigh.....lifes just not a fair deal i tel u....:(

we have to wear blazers and skirts throughout this year...being the last yr. and all plus campuses too so im really doing some serious thinking about my hairdo. like u noe wearing a bun is mendatory for girls with long hair  and im just not keen on doing that. 

i think a real short hair cut would look great on a blazer. it somehow gives u the carefree and confident look! but im just not sure how would it look on a superround face like me!! but again a bun doesnt compliment my personality and face at all in any way!

a short hair cut wit layers in front and shorter at the back with a bouncy feel would be just perfect!
i really want it....lets see i might just give it a shot!
bored of my hairdo now....want to experiment something classy and smart!

just got up a while back and i thought my results would have been out by this time acc to IST but sigh....its still not out!!
on the other hand, our trip -american trip has been just like an untouched(?) dream....really its evident frm our photos...not a single photo where im in a bad mood, really! things have been pretty good and im going to save these memories for much much later :)

update about an hour later -
got busy with cooking -and am still cooking!:)

so will write more later...

had the most enjoyable holiday in California! 
time flew by so fast.. didnt realize it till the time we hugged goodbyes to shweta and family...sigh
her 2 month old baby is actually the first baby of his age that i handled with ease and comfort. otherwise till date even though i have connected with a lot of babies before i never did try to even hold em in my arms! i wasnt confident about my ability to handle such teeny weeny angels really! jeez. what a charming baby boy he is :) yes, already!! lol shreeya like always is a sweetheart. i have this habit of acting as if im their age and so naturally it becomes very easy for me to play with them -even riding their stupid scooters in frnt of older people isnt odd for me...!!

here in NJ when i had gone to visit another cousin of mine -her kid actually asked me "which grade are u in?" lol.. for a moment it *did* feel good but for gods sake m like 21 now so yeah i didnt noe how to react.. i told him "im in college and passed out of school a couple of years bck"  after that he asked me twice.. and said he liked me.. ah i felt soooo good i tel u! with shreeyu.. i reconnected quite instantly and it was great :) i have a thing for babies and kids.. and i can proudly confess i just love em. kids are so smart these days though! u have to think twice before speaking anything at all in front of em. but kids seem to have a thing for me toooo i believe so its all good!;)

hmmm dont noe why did i get up writing that big saga on kids.. went with the flow i guess:D

rest all good.. everythings too good to be true sometimes! 17 miles drive was mind boggling. heaps fun but sooooo windy!!:D sfo was good too but i like NYC better -any given day! one of the afternoons was spent in one of the charming neighborhoods of sfo -sausalito... i just love that place -*romantic* is THE word to desribe it in the BEST possible way! had a nice cozy lunch by the bay on those typical english wooden benches with strong winds brushing past us.. was fabulous! west coast and east coast have almost nothing in common me thinks!

we had a VERY nice and memorable experience with american airports on our way to SFO. its funny how u gotta learn some things the hard way! more on that later.. a seperate post is a MUST my dear LJ for that.. will need it throughout my life actually!

in 5 days will be back in India.. feels good yeah(ofcourse) but weird too. need to figure that one out.
good night world!

off to california tomrw. Yipeeeeeee!
luv americas funniest home videos.. gonna miss watching it aftr 8pm wen i go bck to Indiaaaa! its like a routine now.

teh view frm the empire state building  86th floor was really good:) luved it!
then walked to times square -at night it really is a different ballgame altogether. :)
i love the sights and smells of New York City.  it welcomes u with open hands and u dont even realize when u get drawn into the magic of the city. wanna write more but kinda high right now..hmmm

but theres this emptiness in me -next time i visit NYC, i really want P by my side. wld luv to explore the mighty and stylish city with him -walkey walkey :D.

now lets see how sfo treats me -hope i dont get too greedy by all the wonderful things happening to me and with those around me!
over and out for now ljay.

Is LJ sooooooo dead?? or is it my blog that is sooooo boring??:P

Shopped for my 21st bday from forever 21!!:D
Im so happy with whatever i have bought! the best buys, totally!:)
u can see the happiness here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/entrance_me/3620772576/ ;

and shopped tons of goodies for my friends from bath and body works!:D awesum stuff @cheap prices!!
thank GOD for inventing "SALE"!!

had a very yummy mongolian lunch today..  and made pasta for dinner tonight -turned out delicious as always ;)
else a couple of social activities happening over the weekend so just gonna be tied up with that!

so yeah things have been good -Im living it up my dear LJ!:)

right now, Im sitting cozily on the couch and actually taken aback by the view outside (or the lack of it!).
Usually New York is very clearly seen from the apt. but today Its sooooooo cloudy that clouds have actually entered into the apt.!!!!:D Theres ABSOLUTELY no view beyond the windows!! It actually feels as if Im on cloud 9 -quite literally!!:P

I love this place.. as in the United States! Im just being frank. Ok fine, i have had not so good experiences with people arnd here too, but  then where dont u meet such people? so ya all in all, this place is quite good. but theres a lot of work and too much walking -irrespective of whether u have ur own car or u don't! u tend to get tired very easily or too quickly -atleast it's true in my case! I noe that isnt realy good!

New York is awesome. I love it. the streets, the shops, the people and just bout everything, really!! New Jersey -not bad at all i wd say. tooooooo many Indians, but its ok ;) Niagara falls was totally out of this world! Lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvved it to bits!!!!:)

and oh... our california trip is confirmed!!!:D wil be in San Fransisco for about a week starting next wednesday! Im soooooo happpy ya!!! this was totally unplanned and now.. wow!:) I have been having THE MOST happening summer ever!! maybe thats a sign its my last one as a student before i begin work!!:) and and and and and this year ending is gonna be a superb one -i can say that with my eyes closed! the most special one -cant disclose it right now here though! God is been too kind to me i think, esp. after Silky left me.. I cant thank God enough for all the wonderful things happening to me since  march. the first two months of year 2009 are unforgettable throughout my life but ee.. life has its own way of living it up!

Miss u tons silku!! its becoz of ur blessings for all of us -things are going great -i hope they keep going that way!:)Thank You God! I love you tons!:) and i guess that sh'd go without saying it!

to end this post with.. the following is just a sweet memory from New York City -something to keep reminding me of my first trip to NY years later -


My cartoooon!;)

mall is like 2 min walk from our house here..
being a very hectic weekend, we have been taking it quite easy for these 2 days..
sooo what do we end up doing?? going to malls in the evening!

window shopping is so totally out of question!! coz u just cant help it!! u HAV to buy something -even if its a teeny weeny blusher. AND a fancy one@ that.. u just cant ignore it!:D I have been going crazy looking @stuff ever since i have landed -coz everything is exactly the way i always craved to have! my moms having a hard time but im being fair -as far as finances are concerned coz when i talk bout shopping -the prices are fair too -seriously, as in somethings are just so damn expensive back in India.. and if ure getting the EXACT same quality here @a fair deal then why NOT right?

forever 21, victoria secrets, pink, macy's, kohl's, claire's, zara's, aldo and wat not!!!!:D and there's sale goin on everywhere -oh god-its just NOT fair! i cant wait to star earning myself!! soon.. soon!

i somehow wanted to get it out of me! rest all good my dear LJ -had been to the mighty niagara falls -it was GREAT -missed dad, nani and P though! thats one place u HAVE to go with ur special ones really!:) oh well.. hopefully the next time!!:)

have plans to go to California (Santa Clara) next week for bout 5 days or so.. wil be confirmed in a day or two.

i hate pretzels.

and im walking away those pounds.. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!

you noe sometimes u feel so helpless. so miserable.
i noe nobody would ever feel the way i do for animals. i mean, i myself admit im a crazy woman in terms of giving love for those stupid lil creatures. I dont expect anyone to understand how i feel. and i completely understand people might even call me mad, crazy, lunatic and give me similar synonyms. but i love it that way. It doesnt matter to me if somebody laughs at me if i hold a very clumsy pup from the streets and kiss him or cuddle up with him. the sparkling twinkle in his eyes makes my day. u shd see the way i giggle when some doggie comes and jumps on me and goes crazy! or the way i get involved with them for hours together. There's someone who has a strong influence behind my affection for the four legged creatures and that's my first love! She has taught me the meaning of being warm. being unconditional. Shes given us so much love and care -repaying back the same amount would be just impossible but im trying.. "trying" to spread as much warmth towards the animals and also spreading the essence of taste she lovvveeeed so much -be it pedha, fried chicken, sheera or boiled eggs. I guess that's the right way to do it. to celebrate her life than to cry over her death, isnt it?

There are moments when I get up @night and start crying like a stubborn lil girl.
i can still feel her -its just that she can't be touched. thats all. i can see her. I can feel her.
its been over 4 months and i still can't get over her. she's perhaps one of those few elements in my life who have had a greater role to play  in my life than my own self! beautiful 8 years with her. can never be taken out of my pea sized brain.
i noe even when i turn 60, i will remember the way she licked those tears off my cheeks that day.
you are always in our hearts silkudya.. writing this has made my eyes all moist -all over again.
you have left an impossible void to fill in, Silku..
 
Shine like a true star wherever you're rockstar. God Bless.

omg omg omg i totally loveeeeeeee the mood of this city!:D its soooooo welcoming and warm!!
been having heaps of fun! and dogs -the way they're treated in this country i soooo wish it happens back in India as wel! as in they live such a ROYAL life.. be it trains, malls, or just plain roads/streets.. they're treated with respect and i like that.

been observing alot of stuff actually -wil post it whenever im not too sleepy :)
as of now, bed looks inviting!!;) so im offf...
good nyt this part of the world and a very good morning to the other part of the world.. :P
keep having funnnnn guys!!
