Packing up....

The trip to Romance Capital is about to finish now.So yes I am going back to my India this weekend and truthfully I am more excited about it then coming to Paris.It sounds strange but I hav gud enugh reasons for it!!In the first place I am going to meet my mom and bro after five six months .They are going to b thr at the Airport to rcv me .Wow and dat sounds special!For a week I am going to be wid them.I will hav loads of pani puri and chaat without thinking if thr were traces of beef in it!!I am going to enjoy all the phulkas,achars and sabjis.Going to see many Indian movies wid all hindi filmi gaane at cinema halls and ppl hooting behind the seats and dancing around .I am going to see many interested Indians staring at me ,when I am traveling in local Transports.Their intriguing ears listening to the gossips me and my friends sharing....In france ppl are to obsessed in their own life to bother abt ur where abouts and yes I did miss all the special attention even while walking on the roads!!The shopkeeper pulling up the shutters again after their closing time to entertain me in the shops rather than saying "ITS CLOSED";and yes he will be more than happy to do that!treating you as a special person when you enter in.No more talking in hush hush voices. No more worrying about disturbing others while you and your gang roam in the streets clapping and laughing at top of your voice on some stupid sardar joke(offences unmeant-- but it is the favorite pass time in India).No more converting Euros into Rupees before spending the money.No more calculating the jet lag before calling your home.No more surfing the TV channels to discover only CNN and BBC in English.Will have many options available now;not exaggerating but I think for first few days I will be more than happy to watch even "Saas bhi kabhi Bahu thi.....".And whoa last but not the least speaking hindi and english.No more sign languages required.No more playing Dumb cherads at restaurant explaining the waiter wat you need.Actually theres much more but i am getting too excited listing them down.Guess I shud keep some of the excitement for coming week when I get live in My India!!

Trip to the Romance Capital

Its been quite long since I published a post.I am too lazy a person to take the pains of writing .But today is a very special day,in the sense I have got nothing to do and so here I am sitting posting my blog.!!Please do not expect anyhing much intellectual coming out from this one. Since last two months I am out of India....and if u ask where ,I wud proudly say PARIS.Yes ,The Romance Capital of the world!! Just recollecting my experience in the city which as French call "the Heart of the world".So I landed up in Paris on 26th April 06.After a sleepless flight for 8 hours by Air France I was dying to sleep ASAP.But lol how cud I?I just stepped on the grounds of Paris.It was a shame to even think of sleeping.But yeah as my mom says I am quite shameless when it comes to sleeping for long hrs. I slept soon after we got into the cab. Reached hotel too enthusiastically and waited for my room keys only to discover that It wil take atleast 8 hrs for me to check in.Whoa!!I cudnt think of waking up for even half an hour!Anyways widout much efforts in fighting at reception ,kept the luggage at cloak room and went out to see the city.Weather was cool and so clean!!At two o clock received the keys and entered the room!The room was a nice one ,studio apart sort wid all the facilities available.Thought of taking a nice shower and then sleeping.Went to the bathroom just to discover that I had locked myself inside the bathroom and the lock does nt turn now.It was hopeless.After two hours my other two colleagues knocked at the main door and I shouted for some help.But by the time they could open the door I had already broken the Door and the lock Halfway with atiny screw I got from the Tissue hanger.!!The french Manager was amazed to see a girl who had broken the lock and the more than that a tough Wooden door!!Anyways I thanked god for rescuing me and then cooked and had maggie.Ate and slept.This was the account of my first day in Paris.I guess I need few more posts to detail my Paris Trip.So see the next posts.I hope it should be coming soon....

Delhi…Changing ME??

Delhi…Changing ME??
It was quite confusing 8 months back when I thought of staying in a PG with 12 girls.
I dint know how will it turn out to be?
The first day I entered the PG , I was quite desperate to go back to my life in Mumbai.I had been living in an independent apartment there.This is quite a new experience in comparison.For previous two years and half ,I had lived like a guy. Truly Bachelor’s apartment.No time for proper meals.Randomly placed things in house.Gymming and bike travel being my favourite sports.
Delhi feels a complete change over. I find girls in other rooms shouting at the top of their voices sometimes.Sometimes parading in their new dresses before the mirror.Talking abt skin care. Soaking cereals for breakfast. Salad diets are unimaginably shocking to me as compared to the strict non vegeterian diet I had. “Malling” (going to malls and window shopping, as I call it) seems to be a better sport.Though I dint approve of the Typical Delhiite attitude. I am amazed by their life style. The girls seemed to be preoccupied with their dressing, grooming and other things. I couldn’t resist imagining - Poor husbands/boyfriends slogging in offices, day and night to earn!!… But alas I amn’t immune to it.It seems real fun to me as well.It is said “Jaisa Des waisa bhesh”.I think I am adapting quite well to this place. Now a days I can be seen more often in boutiques and parlors. Discussing whats in and wats out for hours with my roomys. Watching Romantic soaps in tv,eating Chocolate chip muffins .Though my expenditures have gone pretty high but it seems worth trying.After all you got to prove the girl spirit in you. Atleast I wont hear the guys as usual telling me “..Yaar aaj koi ladki nahi dikh rahi hai….” So cheers, the Womanhood!!
