Tip Tip Barsa Paani


Yesterday brought back sweet memories of childhood to my mind.....Its been raining like anything here in Mumbai from the past two days. And like always everything around has gone for a toss. The roads, the railway tracks, the localities and the lakes are all flooded causing trouble for the Mumbaikars.

Yesterday nobody worked much in office coz everybody was busy watching the news for updates on the rain. Post lunch all the school children were sent back home, and just when i was missing being a school kid, i was asked to leave coz everybody around was fearing for the worse....So off i went and i reached back home by 5.30 p.m! (a real luxury for somebody who doesn't reach home before 7.45 p.m)

And then i did what i love doing the most, i curled up on my bed with a cup of hot coffee and the laptop in front. I hopped, skipped and jumped thru all my favourite blogs and watched the rain from my balcony. :) I just love watching it rain, and i so missed being wrapped up in the tight embrace of my lover's arms. How i wish i had my bf with me, it would have been so amazing coz when i am with him time just flies by!

Anyways, Harry Potter: The Half blood Prince is releasing tomorrow and i like any other Harry Potter fan would not like to miss it for sure. I am gonna go and watch it on Saturday with my love. I hope it turns out to be good coz i hadn't liked "The Order of the Phoenix" that much. Till then cya people and have a gr8 week ahead!! :)

And Here Goes Monday....

Phew!! I somehow managed to wade thru Monday....it felt like an exam, although it wasn't as difficult as one! :) It took me a while to settle down though, since i was gone for 2 weeks my inbox had been bombarded by tonnes of mails (1100 to be precise!). One can very well imagine the amount of time it must have taken for me to sort them out, delete the unnecessary stuff and save the relevant ones.

Inevitably i had got a couple of forwards too and when i got the time to go thru them i found some of them to be really nice and interesting. This is one such forward which touched my heart:















Aren't all of them just wonderful!! Simple quotes which are worth remembering for life! If u ask me i can't jus pick one coz i loved all of them. But u can tell me which one did u like the most and why?
