I am sure most of you have read the "The Last Leaf" .......The pigeons are very much like the last leaf of my life.....Well how did the pigeons become the Last Leaf......especially when they make my small little looo smell....stare at me like i am sm intruder...make me feel uncomfortable (and its my looo....its my house....how dare they!)....give me the dirts every time i flush down the smokes (i dont want the maid to know....they talk u know....its a small little town, all my neighbours are those typical housewives ....the nighty with chunni variety)
Welll i am diverting....the story goes like this.
The first time i visited this house of mine I saw a nest in my looooo.....i was like let me throw this out....i cant have birds living in my looo and dirty it.....but shweta stopped me. She said "its a good sign"......and i believed!
Soon mom dad came to Jsr and i moved into the house....and what did i see 2 baby pigeons with the mama pigeon....and i thought what sort of a good sign is this?!! " am i going to have babies in this house....no way not in this town". Dad left in a week....but mom stayed on for almost a month!! Thats the longest time i ve spent with mom alone like everrrrrr in my life!! I never got her full fledged attention prior to that maybe till before my brother was born but never since then (and i wouldnt remember it coz i was 2 when my bro was born 13th & 14th august are our Bdays) .
And I had sm great fun settling the new house....water the plants, do pooja, manage the maids, buy the veggies and also drive the car and work....I had never multitasked like that before. I had never bought vegetables ever ( ok maybe one or 2 odd times a few tomatoes and onions but thats about it).....so alll this was verrrry new for me!! The most stressfull was praying everymorning.....i had never done that either (i actually felt like i was doing sm drama...praying has to cm from within or is it sm routine that we must follow)....and drive to the office (that was just unimaginable....me driving and not giving directions to a cabbie or an autowala....how was i pulling this off).....and while all this was happening the pigeons were growing tooo....first they were those ugly yellow haired pink things...then they shed that ugly hair and grew sm wings and before i knew they had learnt to fly and their mom left them and so did mine!!!
The moms left and the baby pigeons and i were left alone in this shady house!! I would look at them and they would look at me....and i would say how are we going to manage this and to top it all my boss and my colleague decided to leave tooooo........so here i was alone at home and at work, but i had my pigeons and one fine day they were gone tooo!!
Most of you know the story after that....i had a rough rough time.....an accident on road, many at work, the non-existing love life died and so did a few plants.
But i pulled through...and five months after i am a pro at most things!! I can drive fast, i can even keep a fast, no one knows hw to run the house better than me, the plants are alive and kicking.....the love life is still dead though ;-) or maybe its not!!
Looks like the wrk will improve toooo and if not who cares coz the pigeon is back and there are 2 new borns and guess what my mom is cming toooooo!!!

Thats what friends are for......
Just a few hrs back i was sulking coz i am back in JSR......but i had an amazing bitching session over dinner with Deepika and i am back....i suddenly realized i need to write things down and thank each one of u for pulling me out of the mess i got into last year....i met a few of you, some i cudnt cause i just didnt have the time and some coz they didnt have the time.....maybe next time!!
Did u notice the number of i's have used in the last para?????? Total 10. Shit!! I am a SELF OBSESSED Bitch!! So this post aint going to be about me its about alll of u who have beeeen such amazing friends.....i love u loads (hugs & kissess)!! What better day then the 1st sunday of August (Friendship Day)....the start of the fav part of the year & my Bday month!!
I dont know from whom to start.....maybe i shud start with what i had written in my last post....last year was the year i truly came to know who my true friends were....some broke my heart....some new ones just came and filled up the gaps....and some remained with me like they had in the past!!
Let me start with Rishiparna.....she really suprised me....i didnt know how great a friend she was till i moved to bombay....u were the first person who actually came and dropped me to the airport and picked me up from the station .....seriously prior to that only parents had that right....i was the independent young gurl lugggging the luggage always!! When i came back to delhi jobless and alll .....this spoilt only daughter who had never shared her roooom with anyone....shared everything with me.....thanks babe i must have been such a pain! U were my anchor.
Preeti and Swati.....u guys really heard me out...be it on G Talk, Maxims, in your house, u were always there to listen to me.....I dont knw how much money i borrowed.....i lost count after a point....Swati u actually became my bank at times!!
Natasha & Prakash.....they are the ones who made me party even in those horrid days.....kept the scotch flowing and gave me hope....the only partying that i did was with the 2 of u!!! Its sad that we cudnt have a session when i was in delhi.....maybe next time! Natasha love u a lot.....we relate at another level....the village gurls who went to boarding schools, we are stubborn and we are fighters....no we dont give in that easily...no matter what! For all those ppl who think we have tooo much attitude and are snobs....the simple truth is that we dont know how to fake affection and we love ourselves more than anything else in the world!
Swapnil......i guess both of us were going thru the same phase....it really brought us together... we sulked & cried over the same things!! First the joblessness and then the constant pressure to get married and other such things like horrid boys we were made to see!! I guess i was more stubborn and further away from parents that i have stuck it out till now.....my times cming toooo i guess!! Do excuse me if i have been bitchy in any way....give me a calll one of these days....i have loads to telll u!
Abhishek Dahuja......Good boy...I never really considered u a friend back in the C 82 days....tune to mujhe FB pe block kiya tha....iski kahani bhi bata de....kaun tha iske piche!! i was very hurt! anyways u entertained us during meals and gave the much required moral support at times!! Hum tere barein mein kaafi gossips karte the ;-) Ab hum tujhe bad boy bana ke manein ge!
U guys were the ones who kept me going in those bad days....but things did start looking better when i got a Job in the NGO....
And then Jamshedpur happened!
Shweta.....I wudnt have survived this village if it werent for u!! First u got me hooked to a healthy diet....then i was gyming....and loosing all those kilos....then the amazing advise on dressing up and necklaces and earings and other gurlie stuff.....the N number of visits to dupatta Sagar. If u hadnt handed over the keys of your car and told me to drive....i guess i wud have been taking the shared auto to office.
There are not too many ppl i am in awe of .....i guess u are one of them.... a real daring babe!! If I had a daughter i wud tell her to be like shweta aunty!!
Deepika: Babe i think we have had a ball the last 2 months, we are having a blast in JSR udaaan style.....i was like we do exactly the same things....driving arnd like freaks, going to the lake and all the other small town funnn....like running in the bistupur market....khabar's that make it to prabhat khabar (Local Daily of JSR), XLRI roof top, 10th milestone, marine drive, little italy....... Rolling down the window and saying hellllllooooo to random boy was the funniest...i actually thought it was Raghu....ofcourse it is much fun laughing at the likes of our veryyyy own Tom Cruise. Welll we must make it to ASPIRE! We must stop each other from going overboard....crazies that we are! Well there is always that one friend you spend the max time with...In JSR you are the one!!
Welll there are many of u who are constants.....friends who remain forever....i may not meet u....i may not talk to u in ages....Hell nowdays facebook takes care of that!!
Pooja, Juhi, Manvi, Kavi, Shreya, Smitha, Ankit...i havent written a wrd abt u guys, except shreya i havent met most of u in ages.....but u are my constants.....love u and miss u loads!!
