Happy sankranthi

Happy makara sankranthi !

cribbing..

this was my old post ...before comming back to work..


Annual shut down, vacation starts from tomorrow.  10 days of holidays! but we are going to my in-laws house. Feeling so sad.. its not because I don’t like them or its not because I have any problems there. they do stay with us for most part of year in our house.
its just I want to be at my house. I want to wake up at whatever time I want. I don’t want any pressure on me to get up early ,no sounds from my kitchen that some one is in kitchen . just laze around! no need to rush my kid to school.Stay on bed till 8 atleast, watch my favorite shows in TV ,for which I don’t get a chance normally. it will be either some toon or some high dose of sentimental serials . play ,read some books…
hmmmm need to start tomorrow. Hubby will be driving 400km. long journey, wondering how it goes.
my sis-in-laws place first stop,oh not that, my mil wants’ to attend some wedding, if I recollect correctly that’s wedding of her distant cousin’s son. no no her cousin ,stays nearby to our house. she didn’t called as far as I know. but my mil never misses any marriages or as a matter of fact any functions in her relatives place. normally she gets sick if she does any household chores ,its interesting she don’t get tired or get sick of she has to travel 500kms just to attend some function of her distant cousin.
anyway that’s her life,and  that does not bother me. i want to be at my place.

Telangan report is out

Most waited report is out! does it help to reach any conclusions? for that we need to wait and see. I 'm from coastal andhra pradesh. wait .. my district is one of the backward districts in coastal AP.
 I do vote for united andhrapradesh. Yes. but why do I? do i get affected if state divides, whats the direct impact on me..  answer to all these questions is NO. I stayed in banglore ,same way i can stay in Hyderabad too if its part of telangana. I don't know anything about ap formation or telangana  merging etc. I really doubts how many know that. It happened before we were born (i'm a 80 born). But you see its more like letting something go. I don't want to become foreign here. actually i don't have any one at my home town. my parents also settled here after we settled in Hyderabad.

I feel those allegations made my TRS etc and the langauge they use are offensive.

1. self respect: i don't understand how they can bring self respect here. representative is elected by the people will be ruling the constituency , and then they elect their leader. so this is base less.  if this becomes valid ,then south people can also raise this and say that we are being ruled by a north indian PM and it matter of our self respect ,we want seperate PM or seperate country.

2. Ecnomically backward: many parts even in costal AP  are also backward. If every backward area wants seperate state then we will have more than 100 states.  But question is why are they 'backward' . what were those people elected representatives doing from past 50 years. are they sleeping till now?

It really hurts the way some leaders are speaking now a days. You can threaten whole community,and say we will not let you on the roads etc.  they should be prosecuted for those statements. This kind of extremism is not acceptable from any one. We are in a democratic country and everyone has right to have their own opinion.If they don't have tolerance then how can people in hyderabad have confidence that they will be safe if hyd goes to telanagna.

Monday morning Blues...

Its been 10 days i been to office. Today very very un reluctantly i have to go .. My 1 year old daughter was watching with surprise as i'm packing my bags and wearing my tag. she got used to be with me every moment since 10 days.10 days flew like any thing
i guess i might have forgot my password .

Back to work ! back to traffic congested roads!

very unique wedding same as all others

this weekend i was busy in attending a weeding. normally i skip these kind of events or let my husband go. but this time i had to go as i know this father of the groom very well ,a very elderly man and he was persistant that we should attend it. Moreover he is my mother-in-laws relative .Combining everything ,vedict is i have to go... phew.

I made train reservations ,its a 5-6hr journey from my place. Mistake one: i opted for train, i wish i used some brain and would have hit road in our car. mistake 2: my husband Drove all the way to railway station and parked it there. i asked that parking guy how much it costs he said 120 for a day. Ok.. but those buggers charged 280 bucks for that.

another big mistake is not to book 2A or 3A. Its a sleeper. its a chilly and windy night. our berths were so cold and even though we managed to close all windows ,some how its very chilly and windy. and asusual with kids esp with my 13 months old i could hardly sleep.

Marriage: this guy wants to show how he can make this even the most talked in family circles. His son was working in Australia. He invited his austrailan boss and coleges to this wedding. they all flew from there. it was a three day marriage and a hybrid marriage with groom comming on a ghoda (rare in south Indian marriage and especially in our community) and he arranged a disco . next they they wanted to touch base lost traditions it seems, got the bride in a palanquin.
i heard people talking that you know what my grandmother also came in a 'palanquin'.

i felt very bore. I really hate attending marriages. I don't like to get dressed up in benaras or kanchi and gold .May be i'm not good at that. I prefer cotton to any other type. Anyway marriage was grand and every was talking about. and some people were busy in finding what went wrong. and some were showcasing their ornaments. and some in making matches,by bringing their most eligible bachelors and bragging about how much they earn. some times its really fun to watch this. but most often you get interrupted by some aunties ,talking to you .

i feel that waste a lot ,trying to show off to people whom we really don't care.

2010 restrospective

2010 for me:

Personal life: now i'm more organized mother . It was tough to leave my kid when i come to work. but slowly got adjusted . More matured in thinking. normal fights with my family members . getting a maid at home is one good thing i did. it eased lot of headache and stress from me. Playing with my kids is real stress buster for me. I'm really wondering how much patience i'm showing these days. really enjoyed a lot with my kids this year

professional life: interesting , confident . Quit my old job ,joined a new one. But don't know if its a right decision or not in long run. But got to do new things. moved towards people management than technical stuff. Improved in decision making process.

what should i look out:
1. Diet control: eating more sweets nowadays. I don't know i used to hate sweets,but after pregnancy i'm just loving it. I should restrict it

2.Exercise: not at all working out. excuse i'm having is baby. I'm soo busy with this little one,was not able to work on. But still if i really want to ,i can make time for it right? my tummy is sagging and is at 30-36 . I'm able to sqeeze into my old jeans ,but sagging tummy is not good. in tight fits i still look like 3-6 months preggo

3. No harsh words: yes, no harsh words esp to my family members...again on my list

4. sleep well: its hard to get a full night sleep. This girl is still making me wake up in the middle of night.

telangana issue..

This political battle in andhra(should i call AP?? ) is really bothering me from past few weeks.
I like hyderabad. i used to hate it when i moved back from banglore.. but slowly i got a hang of it..
Hyderabad.. hmmm yes delicious biryani(i'm a veggi.. even that tastes good) ,Its culture etc amazing..

my home town is in costal andhra . Now suddenly i became an alien in my own state.

I hate KCR for starting this regional thing out. I mean i'm not against his separatism etc,but the way he talks makes my blood boil. when you are a politician you should watch your language. who is he to give us protection?? we are indians and we can live at any place... its not their whim and wish! we are not living on his mercy??


my maid from telangana hardly knows this, other day she was asking me "is there a bandh tommorow" i said i'm not sure.. she was worried that her sons who goes to city to work cannot go ,this bandh makes situation worse for them..those who call for a bandh shoud pay to these innocent people.
