Missing my family

Day had been a bit dull today 'coz of the cold I have. Why wudnt i catch, i had an icecream on a very hot afternoon..

Tomorrow is Ugadi, one of the important festivals. Will be missing my family. The special fud, the mixed fruit juice... slurp.... :-)

Thinking of dad n mom.. I have some incidences which really make me miss them a lottttttt, they are nearly 600 kms far from me. :-(
Dad had always been strict... but during some circumstances, he would be more than a friend to me.

It once so happened that I met with an accident on my way back home (4 yrs back). A drunkard was coming opposite to me (was very near to me) when I was on my 2 wheeler... Wanted not to hurt him, so tuk a sudden turn, and the next second i saw myself skid with my vehicle, ditto like the skidding style of Hritik in Kaho na pyar hai.. when the villans will go to kill him.

Managed to shout a couple of words at the drunkard..... who danced away as if nothing had happened. How bad the feeling was.. my fav dress got damaged. Couple of ppl came to help me, one even asked whether he cud drop me to my home. "Its nearby", was all that i muttered to him. Somehow managed to reach home. My feet was badly hurt. Everyone in my home were shocked.

Weeping was all I cud do at that time. Dad was trying to calm me down. First aid was done by mom. Still kept on weeping. Dad knew my weakness. He immediately left his accounting work with tally, and went to the nearby bakery. He bought fooooooooooooooorrrrrrr biiiiiiiiiiigggggg pieces of chocolate cake :-p. My face was a sight to see. FORGOT THE PAIN FOR A MOMENT!!!!

"Dont give a single piece to anybody Preetu, have it all for yourself", was wat he said handing the bag to me. If I were alright and dad had said that sentence , I would readily had and finished it. But how cud I think abt it when my feet was bleeding???? Oh! how it hurt!!! But by seeing my dad do so much for me... the pain in my feet started fading!! Unforgettable moment. Really!!! Lucky to have a dad like him :-)
Recently he called me & asked,"Preetu, mom has made ur fav dish, shall I bring it for u?"
"What?", i asked surprised, "bring it for me? By travelling for 14 hours????". So sweet of him.....wanted to say that his words filled my stomach. :-)

Mommmm.... how can I stop telling abt her. I have troubled her a lott. But she maintains her cool. She knows... when her daughter is angry she will shout... afterwards gets calm. I still remember, the way she used to teach the rhymes to my younger sis. I was in the 4th Standard then. Mom doesnt know English, she is a kannada literate. She would ask me how to read a sentence of rhyme in english. After listening.. she wud write it in kannada... only the words i mean, not translating the poem from english to kannada. 'Coz of the studying interest she brought in my sisher, my sis is doing Engg E&CE. No doubt.. my sis is intelligent :-). After all... behen kiski hai??? :-D

I am missing my sisters too. How I used to wrestle with them... quarrel with them for silly reasons... but still I would enjoy all the hungama I would create for timepass (heheheh only sometimes).

I AM MISSING MY FAMILY...... mummmmmmyyyyyyyyy........... :-(

Confusing the Computer and u all

Found this message when I was made to test a software designed by the company I was working for earlier. No, I was not into testing, but marketing their product.

For timepass, I saved the message using the Print Screen key and edited it in Windows paint brush.

It can be seen that both the buttons i:e YES and NO are activated. If really such a message had come when I was working with the software, and had pressed the Enter key, what would be the result??

Raj's Wedding...

"But R.. how will I recognize you? I have never seen in the snaps too..”

“Don’t worry… you come to the starting point of commercial street.. the handsome guy there will be me”

“oh hoo.. “ (laugh)

“ok ok, i will make it simple, I am in blue T-shirt and black jeans..”

“fine then, I will be ther” , I said.

Lt R is Lt XYZ’s close friend. Had spoken to him a couple of times, but had never seen him. He was shopping with his mother for his wedding in the commercial street. Wedding was held on 22nd Feb. He had wanted to give the invitation card personally and so.. the above conversation went on. Reached there after finishing my work. It was not at all difficult to spot a handsome guy on that street with blue t-shirt.

Got introduced to both him and his mom. I think I said to him, “Raj… I just missed u man, u r getting married so soon…” (laughs).

Mother and son invited for lunch, but I had some other work, so had to leave. Invitation card was simply great.

So 21st and 22nd gave me a break from my daily routine. Had been to R’s wedding, which was in Mysore near the Chamundi Hills. On 21st me, XYZ, Raj, his family and bachpan ka friend M left to Mysore during the noon time after having very tasty bisi bele baath prepared by R’s mom. The last seaters in the bus were I, XYZ, R, M. R had a lot to tell about his previous gal frnds.. but since his dad was eggjhaktly in front of us… he kept quiet. His sweetheart knows all his lafdas… hahhahh… gud… He has got a very good sense of humor. After some chatting, we let the Dulha to daydream abt his fiancé.

Reached the place at about 5 PM. The party was welcomed by garlands and the Dulha by a big bouquet by his sweetie. She’s beautiful. There was a function on the same evening. All the attendants were present , except some of us. We were busy in hunting for a good gift for him. So, had a long walk and returned with a big metal statue of a soldier with long weapon in his hand. We had instantly liked it and so.. tuk it. Infact XYZ is a real innocent chap( only at looks), very decent, and a real gentleman with positive attitude. Achha hai… The next day i.e. on 22nd the important day for R. We got ready and went to wish him.

After the lunch, some of us were planning to go to the hills, or the waterfalls nearby… I was suggesting OOTY ( since it was a couple of hrs journey. I LOVED THIS PLACE). But then the time wouldn’t permit ‘coz my jail gates close at 10 PM. So dropped the idea. R got busy with the relatives. Time for us to leave the place. So at 3 PM we set out to go. X.. was to go to Shimoga directly. The company I had till Bangalore was Lt K. A decent chap. More or less had the luks and personality of Uday Chopra. While leaving R’s frnds were hugging him… but the Dulha. Slightly pushing them said…"jao yaar jao… abhi meri biwi aayi hai….” All had a good laugh…

V'day.....bad day for Maha

V'day turned out to be a bad day for Maha(for short).

It all happened when she was returning to our den.. err.. hostel. She was nearby at about 9:30 PM when she was returning and met with an accident. An idiot on scooter went past her hitting her foot very badly. Saala, stunt maarne gaya hoga(sorry 4 te word used).

Till then I had finished chatting with my frnd using the waves. Wondered where she wud be at this time.. it was very late. Called her to ask where she was. I cud hear her weeping n say that she met with an accident. I waited near the gate of the hostel. The dog which was let loose tried all its tactics to go out. She couldn't walk .. she was too much hurt.

Akanksha's best frnd(heheheeh....her RM) helped me with some ointment and ice, that was nice of her. I didnt understand what to do. It was 10:15 PM then. I was unaware of the hospitals in Bangalore. Maha didnt wanted to go to the hospital, but I wouldnt agree to her. Was very confused as to where to take her. Got to know that there was one hosp nearby, but not sure whether it wud be open or not. Then came this girl called Akanksha. It was because of her I could manage to take Maha to a Hospital. She is really a sweetheart. Not a single gal was ready or said that she would come with us. It was only her who helped me.

So at about 10:45 PM we were out in auto heading to the hospital. She made Maha laugh even though the pain in her feet was unbearable. Reached the hospital and got hold of a doc. He too tried to cheer her up. After he left, I lukd at Akanksha, became a bit senti, and with a big smile on my face, i cud c myself hug her and say " akanksha.. tu kitni achhi hai rey....". Luking at this emotional scene... our so called patient Maha started laughing. What all this gal said to make her laugh. She is a jolly, lively kind of gal. I liked her(Akku.. dont fly in the air).

Later after that we left the place and reached hostel by 1 PM I suppose. Made here feel comfortable, but still she was not, coz of the increased pain. Doc had said to take the injections and the painkillers, but our intelligent gal refused thinking it wud be alright. Later did she tell me that she shud had taken the docs words. She was still weeping.

At about 2 PM she gave me a missed call (had told her so if she wanted somehelp). She forced me to take out one out of 2 belts, suggested her not to do so, but she wouldn’t listen, that was too tight for her feet. Removed it, then she fell asleep. Bechari... she wept till 3AM. Next day got up at 8. Went to her office and met her BOSS'NE. She was much worried abt the work than my frnd's health...how bad.....

She desperately wanted to leave to our native. She was sure I wouldn't let her go. So she went to the station, sat is the bus and said ' I m leaving'. She knew at that point no one could stop her. All I did was to fire at her....

Once again "Thanks Akanksha, for all that you have done. No other person would have offered the help and spoilt their sleep.... Thanks dear"

Movie worth Watching

After mannyy days, I saw a film which was worth seeing. Had been with my colleagues, tickets sponsored by our BOSS.There is one dialogue which appears before the movie starts.. that's too good. I dont remember it.
As usual... Aamir at his best........(I hated his hair style),
A.R had done his usual very good piece of work by composing the music... simply superb.
Madhavan with his cuuuuute smile.......(so sweet ;-)) Hmmmmmmmmmm.... Madhavan..... Flight Lt Ajay shouldn't have died in the plane crash.. I hated that part u know? My eyes had become moist... first part of the movie goes good, but I didnt like the 2nd part much..but still, nothing wrong in seeing this movie... Just go and watch it if u haven't.

There is one sentence which Madhavan says to his friends when all of them are near the runway.. he says that he would go to that place and watch the planes fly till they disappeared in the clouds. I said 'me too' :-)

The Weekend

Friday evening...One of my bst frnd Maha.. fortunately, my hostel mate too, was leaving me and going to our native. She was getting ready.

Me: Maha... tussi jaarahe ho???
She: (luking at her image in the mirror, in style)Haan... main jaa rahi hoon....

Me:Tussi shauk se jaaoo....

She: Abbey, zyada naatak math kar...tughe main aane ke baad dekhungigi.

Saturday morning, I got up & started thinking as to what to be done for the weekends. Options were, I could go to my cousin's house, or A(who would be busy making up her new home), or drag R(who is always hibernating on his weekends), M(who is always busy playing cricket),P(who is busy with his books), Pammi(who always welcomes the trouble...hehhe...me) A & L(who get headache at the thought of roaming out...lazy gals..).... pakka opposite to me... or to my colleague's house...

At PRESENT I am not blessed with a guy IN BANGALORE with whom I could flirt around with. So.. I didnt have this option.. :-( had to carry on with the above ones. Made the plan and set out to my Cousin's house.

My eyes got cooled after seeing Shahrukh and Enrique Iglesias over the TV after many days. Had taken some sweets for her darling little daughter. At first the little gal refused to come to me, but later when she learnt that I was leaving... she put her hands forward..crying..insisting me to take her. I am that good with the kids u know?

Next day, took A with me to Pammi's house.... chatted for some time... regarding our Statistic's classes... we two were the gals who used to enjoy a lot sitting at the first bench, even though 3 of that subject's faculties were very strict. They knew we were GOOD GALs, so didnt say MUCH to us. She always tells me.."Preeti.. u spoiled me..." May be, because she was very innocent and decent. Moreover I got the compliment from my colleagues on the 3rd day of joining..." Preeti.. u r going to spoil us". I said 'great'. Atleast I am able to do something... :-) . Such compliments are difficult to get u know?

Heard some wanted songs of Enrique from her system to my heart's content. Later in the evening A & I got dispersed. By the time I reached hostel, all the gals had had their dinner and were in their respective rooms. None watching TV. Well missed out Mission Udaan due to the power failure. Later, I was the only person who was found in front of the TV. Remote was restless....

THERE IT WAS!!!!!! MY FAV FILM.... A HORROR ONE!!!!. Wahh!!!!!

After sooo many days I was watching one. Happiness knew no limits... THe room too was perfect. The room was big... TV just in front of me.... room chilled.... 2 big windows on the either side of the TV... lights of the street lamps falling on the disturbed leaves due to the breeze... the leaves of the mango trees reflected on the windows looked like the ghost's fingers.... all this was just perfect to make the room scary. HOW I ENJOYED!!!!!!

The day ended perfectly..... not at all wishing for the next day to be M O N D A Y.

How to recognize a heart stroke

Forwarded Message:
Thought of putting some important and useful info in my blog.

Maybe you are in perfect Health to bother about this. But then, you may have an opportunity to save a family member, friend or stranger.

During a outdoor dinner at a seaside resort near Chennai, a friendstumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she wasfine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They gother cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared abit shaken up, Lakshmi (name changed) went about enjoying herself therest of the evening.Her husband called later telling everyone that his wife had beentaken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm, Lakshmi passed away). She hadsuffered a stroke at the dinner- had they known how to identify thesigns of a stroke perhaps Lakshmi would be alive today.

It only takes a minute to read this:A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. Hesaid the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed and gettingto the patient within 3 hours which is tough. There is nothing morelife saving than getting the patient to the hospital in the FIRST ONEHOUR! The Golden Hour it is now known as to Doctors and emergencyattendents alike!RECOGNIZING A STROKERemember the "3" steps. Read and Learn!Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The strokevictim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognizethe symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking threesimple questions:

1. *Ask the individual to SMILE.
2. *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
3. *Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . .It is sunny out today).

If he or she has trouble with any of thesetasks, call emergency immediately and describe the symptoms to thedispatcher.After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers couldidentify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems,researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions.Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis andtreatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.

A Short Sad Story....

Message forwarded by ‘Sher’afraz.

Love means:
A guy & his girl friend were speeding at 100 kmph.
Girl: Slow down, its too scary.
Guy: No, its not. Its fun.
He asks her to hug him tight & tells her that the helmet is heavy on his head, so take it and wear it on.
The next day, it is seen in the news papers that a bike crashed into a building and out of the two, only the girl survived. The truth is that, the guy realized that the brakes had failed but he didn’t want her to know. He felt her love by getting her hug for the last time.
