Aate Jaate...

"Aathe jaathe,hasthe gathe,socha tha maine mann me kahi baar"...This is one song from the movie Maine Pyaar Kiya,that I can keep listening in loop for 100 times and yet cant be bored..If I had played the song in cassette,the reel would have wiped and worn out within a week!

Today also, as soon as I stepped out of office,I pluged the ear phone and tuned into this song while waiting for the lift.The lift came and I got in and lost completely in the charm of this song and its sensual lyrics. Though I know its the remake version of Steive Wonder's "I just called to say,I love You",I cant help but sway away into its magical feel. Not only the music and lyrics,even Salman has added to its beauty with his mesmerising smile. As a whole,this particular song is an instant referesher for me..

So where was I?? Yes,in the lift !! While the heart went wow over the song,the brain asked why am I still in the lift? Moment of realisation hit me when I saw I am still on the same floor of the building,forgetting to press the G button! Minutes must have passed with me lost in the song within the lift. Thanking God for saving me from embarrassment,quickly reached the ground floor and hit the play button of same song again :)

Gift Wrappped Sibling

Chubby cheeks,dimple chin,curly hair,very fair.. a baby doll over all.Very beautiful,equally bold,a rare combination of beauty and brain,energetic,daring and yet a sweety pie..this is what I received as a gift from god,wrapped in golden paper with silver lace.She is none other than my little sister.

With just 3 years of difference between us,we grew up as firends,more than siblings.Always keeping an eye on each other and a healthy competition between. Going to school in cycle rickshaw,helping in homeworks,
sharing the snacks making sure none receives an extra bit,accompanying dad on his TVS to market,sharing the house chores,playing the pranks and hiding them from parents,plucking jasmine flowers in rain,watching movies at theater inspite of dad's refusal,shopping of small silly things with the least money in hand,beauty parlour visits during teenage,learning to ride cycle and later luna with each others help..there are thousand more lovely moments we shared together.

The day she fell from moving cycle rikcshaw,or when a teacher complained about her roudism in school, when she invited all her friends on her birthday without giving us notice,when she drew face with kajol and vicks,when she drowned in a water tank,when she hit a man on road while riding luna..all these and many more are the memories that I treausre life long.

Being independent and smart from young age,she has always made me proud with her achievements..be it in school/college exams,competitions,facing the principal on behalf of whole class,stunning the examiners with perfect answers,grabbing a job at two MNCs at a time,helping friends in placement,supporting dad at hard times..the place and words are insufficient to describe more.

My darling sister is enetering a new phase of her life today..getting enagaged to an equally gud gentleman..and I cant gift her anything more than this post. Lov u sis,wish u the bestest of luck and life ahead.

Ashwini.
