MEETING RIA....

It was dark, raining and I was waiting. We had never seen each other before. I thought that I can recognize her. I’m an optimistic person you know. Finally she came and I waved to her. That was my first real encounter with Ria.

We knew each other through blogs. She’s the first blogger buddy whom I’ve met in real. We never chatted though and then began our chatter over coffee. As goes the adage, a lot can happen over coffee. I had my tiny lil’ sis with me (Yeah,we come in a package deal.)
We talked about our lives,interests but not much about blogging. I never knew that she belongs to my state. We split in English,Oriya and Hindi. (I do not know any more languages). She was such a mixing young lady. ( I refer her as “young” coz she said I look 18…). The three of us had a good time together,discovering so many things in common( No,we don’t share the same guy…..lol).

The only hitch was a howling kid who spoiled the ambience ( I had never seen a MBBS in a CCD outlet before ).Maybe it’s a cardinal rule that I always come across crying babies in cafes and restaurants.
**MBBS==miya biwi bachon sahit ( husband,wife and child)

I know my pj’s are getting too much on your nerves, so I think I better sign off. I’m looking forward to meet all my blogger friends (in real/live) . Hope my wish is fulfilled soon.

P.S.: Mayz gave Ria a missed call during our date.
@Ria, Thanx for the tip on inserting links.It works :)
@Raka, Sorry dear..We forgot to click pictures :(

MRS DESPATCHER(PART II)

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST… Eighteen months later…. I was beginning to like my work. It was a challenge sometimes. I had learnt to go beyond boundaries. The dreams which had eluded me once, were dawning as reality now. I had my taste of success and as they say nothing succeeds like success. I had developed a knack for solving my own problems. One day , I chanced by a couple who were seated in a corner of the quaint little coffee shop. I couldn’t believe my eyes…. Divya and Sandip…here of all places. I couldn’t help but confront them. Divya was warmer than ever before and Sandip… I knew he was feeling a bit coy..its so typical of him. But I was more than surprised when he asked me to join them. Though I didn’t refuse, they found me going after five minutes. I invited them for lunch on Sunday. It was a fine Sunday morning and my guests were sharp on time. Divya offered me help in the kitchen and I chose not to refuse. My books kept Sandip busy. She could read my mind and went on with h

PRE-ANNIVERSARY INSANITY

MY LIFE AND TIMES will be a year old on 26th of this month. Blogging has been my greatest pleasure since then. I would like to thank my countless (?) readers who have added to my experience on bloggerville. A huge thank you to all of you ! Why I blog ? #It’s a good pastime (lol...I guess it’s a lot more) #I get to read some real good posts (and take cues) #I get to read some crap posts too( no offence meant-actually they enhance my positive self esteem :D) #My friends and relatives see me in a new light here ( After all, now they know that I’v some good qualities too :D ) #I made some good blogger friends with whom I can have fun. I’m sure many of my loyal readers are still reading. For them, there will be a treat on the D-day. ( Don’t raise your expectations sky high-its just a post - no awards/interviews/guest posts ). But I’ll give my best to fill your time with a good read. I was turning the pages of my personal diary today and I found this. This is for you, my dearest blog (my
