DAY 85 (Loving your hometown...!!)

Aaaahhhhhhh.....yesterday was a typical shopping day..! Since now I have to start working....there are so many things to do....to buy. So yesterday....since it was a sunday and also since none my sisters can accompany me due to their exams...I and dad...went for some of the shopping...like footwear and handbags....! And to be innovative this time...we decided to go for different places rather than the usual ones. Phewwwwwww...and what an experience it was! All those stupid memories of Bareilly city rushed back to my head in that crazy mess. But since dad wanted me to have a flavor of this kind (thats how he quoted it..) as well....so I had to be a warrior..!

I was so fucking tired...roaming from gali to gali...to find that one unique shop of handbags (thats also how my dad quoted it..) and find my choice of bags. I was too lazy to make a choice then...but I guess I made a good one..(wink..wink...!).

Footwear...couldn't suit me well enough...as before coming to this area...we had already checked showrooms like Woodland and liberty...and I couldn't find any choice of mine in my foot-size.

Anyway...but on the way returning back home...dad asked if he should get the most famous TUNDEY KABAB packed for dinner...and some chicken. I was not in a condition to have chicken then...but I could not say no to the kababs...!


Finally while returning...we found a my-choice-of-footwear....from a posh Bata showroom as well and I had a big fight with the staff there too because of the ultra poor services...(thats a different story..). It was quite a funny scene where my dad was trying to calm me down and I was literally shouting hysterically...both out of tiredness and the stupid treatment they gave....but atleast it helped me to vent all those things out. And for the happy ending of the day..as we moved out of the showroom...there was this guy of IIM who was surveying for Bata products...and I very smartly flirted with him a little bit with my dad standing beside me...and trust me...dad didn't even get a clue...(yes yes...you all can applause...!!).

Finally the tundey kababs at home...brought the ultimate pleasure...and then I realized...that many a times...infact mostly...we do not cherish the true color and treasures of our own city...and take them for granted. Tourists come to visit the specialities of our cities and we don't even think that in the past so many years we have ourself not visited the places...or experienced the specialities. Thats a shame really.

I am really proud to be a Lucknowite....! And now I expect the people who are reading this to be a true part of their cities as well.

    @sailesh....lol...mister..!! how in heaven did you link the two opposite poles? guess...you needed to be at the spot. being patient does not mean that you should be quite at the places where you are supposed to speak. it was my right as a customer..to put up my complaints and let them know their faults.

DAY 321 (Bring the change!)

 If you are a mother and if you keep cribbing about societal issues and the way kids have been brought up in our generation, keep reading. Well, every generation have their own issues and we all progress in a way or another. But even after generations of changes there is one common issue which is discussed in all forums (professional and personal/ formal and informal/ planned and unplanned) is patriarchy.  I am not one of those feminist who advocate for the world to turn into a matriarch to take revenge on the oppression generations of women have been facing. I honestly vote for equality. And I think most of us do. However, what do we actually do to bring that change?  Apart from discussing and being profound at the takeaways, I don’t think there is any progressive step that we actually take. I do feel that to take the step it does not have to be groundbreaking. Everything starts at home and so this solution starts at home too.  Most of the time, we start discussing ...

DAY 91 (Yukkkk..!!!)

Another GODFATHER for guys is out now....and yes I am talking about LSD (Love Sex and Dhoka) ! Standing ovation for Miss Ekta Kapoor who chose to leap from the head to toe covered Saas and bahus to directly all nude perverts...!!  I have seen guys being so curious for this movie probably because its been a long time after DEV D for them to watch something "meaningful" like this. I find you tube links of the promos and the special songs of the movie in their social networking site's status and they are just so proud of that. I am ...and I am sure every girl is amazed with the criteria of their meaningfulness! Either everything yukkkyyyy is just their type or they have not been keen to explore any other thing in the world than this! I am sick and tired of the caller tunes which I get to hear now whenever I call up any one of them and then I just do not want to talk any further after that. I believe learning Biology compulsorily till class 10th atleast has given only t...

DAY 105 (When life is awesome...!!)

As I was about to join a job...people told me..that you are gonna lose all your independence and happiness now....cutting off the social network by default...and then you'll realize...what a mess it is and what golden days those 10 "doing-nothing" months were! I used to just shrug it off...because I do not like to predict like everyone else. And now...most of them have got the answers. I have never been happier than this. I do all I missed to do ever...all I loved to do ever...with my grey cells working in parallel as well which is like a perk! Playing table tennis,an urge to learn guitar or atleast try to do so was like few of the things I could never carry on with...due to zillions of factors. But where there is a will...there is a way! I got all I desired packed up in the most beautiful and satisfactory environment ever. What else could I ask for? I have met like some of the most interesting and loveliest people ever (I know...that in professional life...everyon...
