Mixed Bag o Colors

I still remember watching the movie Tomb Raider. Angelina Jolie was awesome as she performed all those stunts. There is this scene when they are standing at this old temple trying everything to find the missing piece of the pyramid when the villan looks at his (very special !!!) clock and says Tempus Fugit


................or in layman terms - TIME FliES




Time flies.. and whoa it does real fast. It has been nearly two years since I joined here, which means it has been two years since college.. (Okie let me stop shouting that out :p)

Well even the saturdays and sundays fly too soon... and I find myself back on my cubicle on a monday morning like nothin happened. And that explains why Itz taken me a long time to bring myself to complete this blog.

So I watched Khelein hum jee jaan se yesterday.. Not a bad movie though. Thoroughly enjoyed the background score.. Deepika had nothimg muchto do except to carry acids and look beautiful and skinny and being called Kolpona(Have always loved Bengali:)). But yes Abhishek B. I totally am for your attempt to take up a movie like this, but seriously someone needs to teach him how to express pain with your eyes when you can barely speak... (Come on dont tell me Ash doesnt put you on the one of those spots!! Or are they the lovely-dovey couple the media projects them to be?)

Well talking about this i remembered watching a couple of episodes of the new season of Koffee with Karan..

the First Guests of the season was Abhi-Ash. The guy looked pretty subtle to me compared to his bubbly self and his super self confidence that we saw in the last seasons.. But the Show-stealer (can i say that?) was the second episode's Ranbir Kapoor. Okie I am not a big fan of his hulky frame (but hey loved that towel song in Saawariya btw.. wink!wink!!!) But what I loved about him was his diplomacy. You'd see him at ease dodging out of every personal question thrown out at him.. I'd really liked listening to him I'm sure so did Karan which was why a lot of questions where directed to him but he was also good enough to re-direct the appropriate ones to the silent and (l'l) shy Imran..

It then dawned upon me that, we are a generation that irrespective of whatever profession we may be in, are clever and calculating and possess adequate skills to make most out of what we have.. Atleast thats one thing that I see in common @ my work place.

and yup Diplomats run the world.

P.S : 1. One of my friends told me that If I ever wanted to be a HR I should be more active in Facebook and the like.. Im still trying my friend but sometimes I'd like to get back to my books. Guess that has to wait.. :)

2. Now thats ont hing Im going to strike off from my long list of to do things - Watch a movie in a empty theatre (or almost empty :) as the theatre that i had gone to watch the movie khalein... was literally empty save for 11 people (including me and my sis!!))

Thanks for sitting through that one.. and Im off now.

Have a great week ahead.

Long Time... really Loooong Time

well hi :)

I understand that it has been a really long time since I said hi. Would you believe if I tell u work takes its toll? (OK neither would I)

I am on a 3 week vacation - to prepare for CAT one last time!! Funny alright but somehow this time the exam seems to have more importance in my life than all other times - maybe because all of my life's answers are here.

Im 23 and frankly I dont know what I want in my life. Do I want to be one of those hot-shot business woman in classic formals - short hair - great attitude-cool laptop and high accent tones? (ha ha you bet!!!) do I want to be one of those over acheiving-night staying-social life nil-IT professional? or be a nice work-life-balancing woman who's losing most of her friends to marriage and might be pushed to do so one day?

Yup you heard it right. this is also the age where if you are a guy, most of your college-mates or work pals (gals in both the cases, fellas) inviting you for their marriage. if you are a Gal then things get even tough for you.. You will be put in a phase where most of those that you know or where close with are getting married. Most of the gal-get-togethers will talk bout the guys that they have seen in pics or straight or how the process went or how nice he is - with a very obvious hint of shyness and fair display of rosy cheeks seen so many times in those rom com movies. Worse still if they are engaged or about-to-be.

Do I hate that? Heck no. The part I hate is this... the discussion slowly turns to hey how bout you? I try looking bored and say marriage? well Im not sure if I want something like that now...

That does it. they drown you with advices on why you should get married before you turn 25, talk bout everything from financial stability to support and life and all that. the less patient friend mocks you right out saying ha ha planning for a sixtieth marriage directly? Wow real funny huh?

Here's the real deal...

I totally believe in marriage. But not now? See I have not figured out what I want to be. I dont know what exactly I like. All I ask for is 2 years of time - to be more mature and understand and come in terms with life.

And thats why I need to crack CAT this time (BTW my exam's on 19th the next friday). To escape form all of this and much more. (and to become that hotshot businesswoman I was talking about ppl ;) )
