Band Baja Bride

So, it seems everyone around me is getting married. Marriages are in vogue I suppose which is why everyone is following the same trend. It seems people don't have any other thing left to do wwith their lives
I feel facebook has become some sort of wedding photography website. Whenever I log into facebook, what I see is pre wedding photo shoot, wedding photo albums, post wedding photo shoots, honeymoon photos with the super se bhi upar display of affection, the roka function photos, the mehndi ceremony photos..God! I am tired of seeing all this. It just makes me feel I am a grown up too, hard to say, but yes I have approached the marriageable age.
My two cousins getting married in coming two months, the two cousins with whom I studied in the same class in school.I am so excited for their marriages, how the fun, togetherness will come along but at the same time I am petrified too. I don't even want to imagine the situation when all my relatives would be pointing on to me and asking my parents about my band baja baraat(or in my case vidayi). I can make my parents understand that i still need 2-3 years for my career, only then I would be able to at least live my life I have fantasized. If I won't get these 2-3 years, I would only crib and regret later in my life.
But if my relatives keep on asking my parents and these people around me keep getting married at this pace, my parents would be taken away by the flow and people's words and I would be doomed to regret and sadness. And the sad part is I can not even stop people around me getting married :/. I want to travel the world with my friends, try every possible thing be it right or wrong, create some stories for my children before finally settling down.
Please bhagwan ji, help me realize my dreams and fantasies, make my ways such a way that I can be on the right path.

Self Realization

Today morning, while brushing my teeth I saw myself in the mirror. I saw my teeth and I realized they are displaced, not in perfect shape. But hey! I still manage to get people compliment me for my smile. EEEEEEEEE!!!!

Thank God! This could have been a thing to crib for life but I am all good. :P

Bonne Bouche

So I am starting on with a new series of posts on my blog.
I and my friend have this list of restaurants to go and explore every 15 days.
I am so lucky to have a companion who is equally interested as I, to go, explore and splurge on new places. We no longer see distance a constraint but not having the luxury to go to 5-star restaurants on a car is definitely a constraint.Like seriously we have put a great number of restaurants to a back-burner just because we would have to go on a public transport. Don't even think of hiring a cab. We are stingy people too.

So, we sorted this restaurant from the list of "Most happening places to visit in Delhi". I Zomato-ed it to find the ratings and the ambiance and et al. Its a French restaurant and there were pretty much good reviews on food,the sitting area, the decor.
First of all, the nearest metro station is Lajpat Nagar and not Jangpura as mentioned on Zomato. So we had to sit in the auto and turn on the GPS because the auto wala did not also know the way to the restaurant from Jangpura metro station.
We entered the restaurant and it was all vacant despite being a Sunday afternoon and despite a strong recommendation of table reservation. The interiors were all inspired from European decors. It was soothing for the eyes and one would definitely like to sit have a chit chat with friends.
We asked for a terrace sitting on the 4th floor. It was more of a garden area with light furniture and wooden fencing all around.

P.S- If you zoom it and see, there's this hanging on the fence written- "First we eat, then we do everything else"
There was already a couple sitting over there. We took our table. My eyes were constantly on the couple who were sitting together on one side of the table. Note one side of the table and we even took time to choose our different sides of the table. As soon as the couple left, another couple came over.
The menu was opened with this-

We ordered one Angel Hair pasta (for safer side) and a spinach & ricotta gnochhi with zucchini and cherry tomatoes in cream sauce (only because the name was complicated and it was on the restaurant's recommendation list). And I take a bow to the fact that I forgot to take a photo of the food because I was really hungry. Oh boy! it was heaven, so tempting complimented with Green Appeltini (okayish) and Alex Atlantic (Good).

 We also ordered Tiramisu (also on the recommendation list of the restaurant) which was kind of my type, the perfect make of sweetness, cream and the coffee.

We were having our meal and the waiter kept on watching us as if he too was hungry. Also, the staff's uniform was of the color as my friend was wearing like ditto the same color hahah!
Oh and about the other couple who came over, they too chose to sat on the same side of the table. I can't help but notice this thing. And they were taking selfies like after every 10 minutes. It was cringing me somehow, partly because they were sitting just in front of me and partly because I envy these love birds.

So here goes one of our finds to another restaurant in Delhi. Amen to more such. :)

Is Blog ka Gyaan

Gyan Dose to self- No.1

So aaj ka gyan!

The more you dislike someone/something, the more is the probability that that someone/something would find affinity towards you.

And the vice versa the more I like someone/something, the greater the chances that that someone/something is going to repel me.

Moral- F*** those who said “when you want something , the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it” yeah!! Paulo Cohelo..:/

2014- Looking Back

So as even Facebook is making efforts to develop an app to see our year 2014 in retrospect. So I decided to put in my manual efforts and write a post weighing what worked good for me and what did not. One has to jot down and acknowledge the things for which one was happy. At least then I would be able to say, yes 2014 brought with it, this pocket full of happiness for me.

Happiness- What would make me remember 2014.

Haters, i am giving you all a reason to live. Thank me!

1. Convocation for CA- I was officially given the right to put a prefix before my name. Yes it indeed was THE moment of ecstasy for me. Though after the event, I was back to normal cribbing and cringing over my life.

2. Got rid of night shifts- Yes I was working in night shifts and I was literally cursing myself for having doing that shit. I got rid of those shifts and landed in a decent time slot.

3. Met some wonderful people - Though the night shift was a thing to be cursed for, but it was the place, where I met some friends for life, the friends who actually advised me for my good, who cared genuinely, with whom I laughed my heart out.

4. Exploring new restaurants- This was in my bucket list since long. One of my friend and me just wanted to pamper, splurge and hog in style every 15 days or so. And yes we started, and following it religiously till date. Putting check ins for every place we visited to memorize the same.

5. Road Trip to Jaipur- yes!! may be it was only Jaipur, just 300 kms away, may be my life is just uneventful,but we actually mustered the courage to start the journey at 11 in the night, no plan how to travel, standing on the bus stand waiting for Volvo, not getting one and rummaging our phone contacts to get a car to go. hahah! yes we did it. Amen to more such trips.

6.Chucking some unwanted people out- I was courageous enough to let go some people, on whose priority list I never existed in the first place. I was bold enough to confront them with the truth and chuck them out of my life.

7. Learnt to be more sarcastic- I had taken a step forward towards becoming more sarcastic. * a wide grin* Amen! this is a never ending process. 2015-let me keep working on it.

8. Blogging/Writing- I had been not very regular towards writing. But I made it a point to write and document at least the important episodes of my life.

9. All time companion - I got this all time companion for the loner me- the laptop, my personal laptop. I had one already but office laptop. That personal touch never exuded. I can do whatever I want, open which ever site I like (stop running your brains).

10. Clarity of goals- I suppose I am way more clearer for my goals in 2014 than I was in 2013. This is how I define taking baby steps towards wisdom.

11. Pampering Myself- I read it somewhere "being pampered by your man is a beautiful feeling but being pampered by yourself is a BOSS feeling." This year I pampered myself in terms of style, time,money,food, meeting new souls,choice of my words, and every other damn thing.

So, this was my bit. When I started writing, I felt not more than 4-5 points. But Yayyy!! here I am, God has been gracious enough to bless me happiness to such big chunks that i have been able to jot a good 11 points that made me happy during 2014.

But Mr. God- The list of things which didn't work for me well is still in the drafts. You have to address them as well. :P

N days of Sadness.

Day N1

So here am I , inspired by 100 days of happiness, mine is N days of sadness. God.!!! I have been waiting for happiness since long. when when when when!!!

Its been so long that I have been giving interviews and still not able to get through. Am I not good enough? Dont I deserve a satisfying job? Dont I deserve to work in normal timimgs and not entertain those look from people when i tell them that i work in night shifts.? dont i deserve to add my work place on facebook and on linkedin? ( the promise I gave to myself was/is that I would add my work place on both sides as and when I get a good brand name to flaunt off).

Today again i went for an interview ..yes AGAIN. The same story happened.. I went , the interview location too far, asked my friend to drop, cleared round one, came round two, n alas I'm out ..FTW!! this was the third time in a row that I went for an interview and got chucked out in round 2.
I didn't clear the interview was one of the agony, the exertion, the time wastage, the off I took from office, the waste of money , the loss of faith,the de-motivation are the other ones, to name a few.

I don't know why my career is haywire, what is planned for me ..what's in store for me, if in store, where the damn store is.

I'm crying while im writing this post, feeling good for nothing. feeling so useless, so hopeless, so vulnerable, so so so dizzy.
Mummmmyyyy!!!! I wanted to tell you about this but then you would be feeling tensed more than I feel.
 But god where are you, hey bhaggu, I need you, need you , need you to answer my questions, need you to tell me why I'm so unlucky everywhere, why i cleared CA, what is the purpose of my life on this earth.
I want you to answer why this so called 'vehem" innate in us, the so called Indians, that if your left eye blinks unusually, something good is going to happen. it was blinking extraordinarily, making me hope against hope and building optimism in me that I am gonna get through. Why you could not chuck me when in round one, when I was not supposed to get selected. 

Na ladka(pasand ka) milta hai na naukri.!!! kya yahi life hai!!!Please kuch to signal do..

P.S- Everything becomes so hopeless, so negative when you are not feeling good. I switched on the radio to listen to some peppy music but alas ! yahan bhi kismat sath ni de rhi. As soon as I switched on it started playing the slow numbers. FTW!!!!
