its' been 3 days in the office and I am being "bombarded" with work...not that I didn't like to wrk...but was just out of touch for a while....;)) I can actually feel the stress of working at the client site:( Tim asked me today if I had any grey hair...and when I denied that....he winnked and said...don't worry they'll pop up soon here!!
Life is so different here...My day starts at 6:30 and I reach office at 7:30...(something that I haven't done in YEARS)...mum...I hope you read this...you'll be the happiest to know about this!!days are really short here....they just start and end in a flick!!and suddenly you realize ....all you did in the office is "work"...."only work"....again something I was out of touch of...;) Lunch wraps up in 10 mins....unlike those elaborate meals we used to have in Mumbai...I am just getting used to it....neways, funda is simple...I have come here to work and I am doing that...In a way I am liking this routine...only that the stress levels at the workplace are too high...they are getting onto my nerves right now and I am not enjoying that at all!! :(( but no worries...this will also pass by...
After a tiring day when I get back home...I face a very blunt fact....fact that I am away from home...away from people I love...away from people who love me... (Chunnu is an exception...I just love her!!) everyone here is so busy with their ownself...their life...their stress...their worries...I don't even tslk to all the people living with me in the same house...and I am not used to that...the "personal space"given is just too much to handle....
but then even I don't have time to ponder on it...'coz I just gotto cook the dinner and goto sleep...another stressful...eventful day is waiting for me....
and yes I am listening to "yeh jo des hai tera....".....:))
aren't these lovely....
Mitti Ki Hai Jo Khushboo, Tu Kaise Bhulayega
Tu Chahe Kahin JaYeh, Tu Laut Ke Aayega
Nayee-Nayee Rahon Mein, Dabi-Dabi Aahon Mein
Khoyeh-Khoyeh Dil Se Tere Koi yeh Kahega

I have reached Chicago!
After the first day in the office, here I am sittng at home listening to "yeh jo des hai tera..."and getting nostalgic about everything....finally getting a chance to write down things...so many of them on my mind...
I reached Chicago on Saturday...all my way of that 18 hours' flight....I used to peep out of the window looking at the clouds n' pinching myself if i was dreaming...c'mon I deserve to feel this way...my first trip in the air made me feel amused!! but 18 hours were just too much at one go...it was getting onto me at the end of it....but yes I was amused....amused at the fact that an ordinary girl from a small town is experiencing this...not that its' that big a deal...but for me...yes it is...for many reasons to mention....at one corner of my heart I was crying...crying to leave the most important people of my life behind....leaving my country and goign to another place...but then again i never wanted to miss that opportunity especially when it had just come to me out of the blue!!
:))
at the end of everything all I feel is Amused!!
another big reason for me to get excited about was meeting my Chunnu!! after so long...! she had come over to pick me up....a friend's presence in a new place...a new country....means a lot!!
my weekend went great! chunnu ensured that it goes great! I started my stay in Schaumburg with the snowfall!! whtta scene mann!! all white around!!its' chilling out here... then I visited a temple...Hari Om Mandir...and it was the "Bhandara" day!! so had prasad in the mandir n' guess what ....the prasad included "COKE"....only to make me realize that I was in US's temple...!!:))
things are very different here...the way of life....the way of thinking...the behaviour...feels good to experience a new culture...something good n' something bad about it...! but the worst part is when you see people from ur land changing upside down aftr coming here....I still am unable to figure out what makes people change their self...their behaviour...their way of thoughts...is it the money, or the insecurity....or its' just another way to capture some attention....whatever it is...its' wierd....absolutely wierd...
I am still unable to figure out if I am feeling good or I am feeling sad...its' soemthing like...
"Everything around here is so fine...but then everything around here is not mine..."
no pollution, no poverty, all money, cleanliness, discipline...so many things to feel good about...but at the end of day I don't belong here...I belong to my India...my land....my country...I don't mind staying here and get a feel of things n' people...its' an experience worth cherishing about!! but at the end of day I wanna go back to India...bole to "Mera Bharat Mahan!!!"
n' yeah I am still listening to "yeh jo des hai tera..." I loved it...n' now I love it all the more...

love ya Popat!!
Popat always cribs that I love her less and express it all the more less...(nice oxymoron isn't it!!?)…I dunno whats her measure for that…but I love her all the more for that cribbing…as for me…I am bad in expressing…so whenever popat turns to me with that puppy dog expression of not loving her…I bash her all the more!! And I enjoy that!!
I dunno why but the days spent with chunnu…popat…janu have been one of the best parts of my life…the golden days…maybe ‘coz we all were so much alike…inspite of being so different…each one with a unique temperament…a unique style…but at the end of day we were just a jing bang of four clowns…that’s what my dad used to call us…Those night long chats…the mindless comedy the four of us ended up doing…Sanu’s popats…washing clothes at 1:30 a.m., cooking food at 3:00 a.m!!! I just can’t get over it…our Happy High Family!!
Since chunnu and janu left…popat n’ I are together…fighting as always…janu n’ chunnu were so concerned about both of us together…’coz they knew how we love to fight with each other…even other people get tensed when they see both of us fighting…little do they know that’s our expression of love…!
At this juncture in life…everyone around me n’ popat are worried about our relationship except for the both of us!!! all advising us to think and behave with maturity…little do they know we two are just too good to handle these things…these tiny tweety bits of bad times here n’ there are not going to make any difference to us…popat and I gotta unique combo…she needs expressions all the time and I am too bad with it…popat cribs about me not telling her how much I love her… neither do I tell her that inspite of her cribbing!! And we love each other for that…
This writeup just for you popat…just to tell you…I love you…I love you lotsss…love your popats…ur just too good with those!!! I wish I cud catalog all those goof ups at one place…!! nothing big or small gonna make a difference in that…I’ll just be a call away..anytime and everytime…distances won’t matter to us…whoever goes…the other will just be following behind…
the combination of the four of us can never ever happen with anyone else…we are just too good together...I really wish for a time with the four clowns being together again to recreate the magic!! hope it happens soon...

pal...
Hum rahe ya na rahe kal
Kal yaad aayenge yeh pal
Pal, yeh hain pyaar ke pal
Chal, aa mere sang chal
Chal, soche kyaChhoti si hai zindagi
Kal mil jaaye to hogi khushnaseebi
Hum rahe ya na rahe,
yaad aayenge yeh pal
Shaam ka aanchal odhke aayi
Dekho voh raat suhaani
Aa likh de hum donon milke
Apni yeh prem kahaani
Hum rahe ya na rahe, yaad aayenge yeh pal
Aane waali subha jaane
Rang kya laaye deewaani
Meri chaahat ko rakh lena
Jaise koi nishaani
Hum rahe ya na rahe, yaad aayenge yeh pal
Hum rahe ya na rahe kal
Kal yaad aayenge yeh palPal,
yeh hain pyaar ke pal
Chal, aa mere sang chal
Chal, soche kya
Chhoti si hai zindagi
Kal mil jaaye to hogi khushnaseebi
Hum rahe ya na rahe, yaad aayenge yeh pal.................
Kal yaad aayenge yeh pal
Pal, yeh hain pyaar ke pal
Chal, aa mere sang chal
