The picture, the drink!

This is what I saw out of the moving cab:

A green Delhi park,
A big tree,
A big man,
Grizzly beard,
Huge teeth,
Tattered clothes,
Beggar like looks,
Holding a bottle of whisky,
A plastic glass,
N the biggest celebratory smile I ever saw....
He who did not know where his next drink was coming from was definitely having his moment.....
CHEERS!

The Dreamer.

Some dreams come true 
Some don't......
Oh but the ones that do....   
Enough to make you believe
That  skies are indeed blue
And rivers run deep
Not without reason.....
But in every season ,
The flower of the time will bloom.
and some plants need a little more watering
Some dreams need a little more sweat
Some are sweet in coming true
Some truer still in dreaming!

Turning 29!

Okay first daughter gets to type her name...
Anoushka Singh.

N now for my post..
6th June 2011:

There's a time in life when you are 15 n can't wait to be 16..

(though why it's still important I can't imagine.. There was a time when girls came out to be viewed by boys at the appropriate age of 16, now girls wear thick spectacles n study for entrance exams with equally bespectacled guys... Okay shoot me for my regressive remark, but as nature is not so up to date on gender equality n stuff, kids still make a great deal of turning 16... I always wonder at my ability to digress, but I can never really avoid it... )

There's a time when you're 29 n can definitely wait to be 30...

(n I again wonder why is that? Ever counted the joys of growing old, unless asked to do so by Cosmopolitan or Femina issue?)

The joys of being 29 for me are....

1) I can have that drink or not have it, I'm cool!
2) Duniya jaye Bhar mein, husband has to pamper me, period.
3) I get to pick my dinner n gifts, n need not be shocked by pleasant surprises...
4) The first kid is now four n need not be fed at the table, the second is not yet an option, n need not be fed anywhere!
5) I have the luxury of knowing my limitations, n it's a blessed relief not be told, you can do better... Finally the world accepts I'm doing best!
6) I can tell my little A, " you can do better!!"
7) Too many reasons, am I not enjoying it? I stop to make my case... Happy birthday to me!!!
