health, personal, rant

For all those people who don’t like rants, its a warning that this post is only rant.. so feel free to stop reading ahead if u want… but its my blog and I will rant if I wish too

So I slipped yet again day before yesterday, though I tweeted about it joking that

Last time i was cmg back from delhi i had hurt my neck this time its the knee a omen that god doesnt want me to come back from delhi 😉

I am feeling anything but good… this time its the knee that I have hurt and that is making me very upset… I showed to the doctor yesterday and he has declared it as a ligament tear and advised me a week’s bed rest… (yes bed rest yet again 😦 )

The year started with a slipped disc in the neck which still troubles me now and then 😦 and then I twisted my ankle sometime back and now this knee… And when I am not broken I am down with something or the other whether its the simple flu or low BP or continuous vomits which doctor thought was because of Gall bladder stone but actually was just a reflex… whether is a migraine which keeps coming back like it loves me like no one or its the ever present Bangalore induced cold… I never seem to be in perfect health 😦 and I am sick of it

I am sick of being sick… I really don’t know what to do of this, how to handle this and come out of this rut? The weight loss is at a stand still because of this too.. I have lost 11kgs but then since than I am stuck there, unable to focus on any form of exercise of diet for more than a week because some form of illness just strikes me ever so often… I atleast have 10 more kgs to go before I even can say I am away from being obese even if I forget about my ideal weight…

Today when I sit on my bed with my laptop and a book, I am frustrated to the extent that I am not able to focus on anything… The past year has been the worst in terms of health and like I said above I have no clue how to cure it… The doctors seem to be as clueless as me on providing me a holistic cure and are hell bent on treating each problem separately and that is hardly helping 😦

Gosh I don’t even know why I am writing this post… I guess it’s a rant and a way to get it out of my system…

Ok so now I will end my most disjointed post ever… go ahead bring on the hugs and make me feel better

LRP (Letter to Random People) – 1

LRP, random people, rant, road

(un) Dear biker on the road,

I know you think u look cool standing in the middle of the road helmet in the front, dark sunglasses covering your eyes and a mobile phone tucked to your ears but please be considerate to the people who want to use the road for what its meant driving.

If you don’t wish to move in the side on your own atleast don’t shout when someone honks and asks you to, next time they might shout back at you.

Your well wisher who might not behave like one next time

rant, rants

India is a country where we say “Athithi Devo Bhavah” meaning Guest is as good as God. But don’ you think this God should have some rules to abide by… I have been having a lot of guests in the past sometime and have something to say to my Devo’s…
  • It would be a good idea if you can inform that you are coming specially if you intend to stay for some days and its not just for my conveience, its for yours too. I too go out sometimes and I am not sure would you like to wait outside the house
  • I understand that there might be cultural differences between me and you and you might get surprised by seeing the way I am dressed at home and its ok for u to get surprised  but ITS NOT OK for you to look at me top to bottom and bottom to top 3 times.
  • Yes I agree I have married a south Indian but that doesnt mean I can wipe out 27 years of existence and habits. I am still a roti eater and probably will be like that all my life.  Please dont make faces when you see that.
  • What we are doing with our finances, how much we earn or why currently its only person is earning and how are we managing our EMI’s is none of your business. Unless we ask you for money I don’t think you have anything to do with any of these things
  • Yes my son speaks more or less in English because that is the langauge that is spoken in our house the most. I would be happy to see him speaking in Telugu as well as Punjabi but the world is not ended yet, he is not even 2… He has ample time to learn all this, so please keep your judgement about the fact that I am bad parent to yourself.
  • Its not ok for you to treat my live-in help who is basically my child’s nanny as your personal servant and its not ok for you to expect my servant to wash your under-garments
  • And last but not the least its CERTAINLY NOT OK for you to tell me that I am very fat and I should not have sweets and then when I try and follow my diet ridicule that by calling it tanturms

PS: Sorry guys to u all, I have been running mad and not read any of the blogs recently will do it soon….

Life in a text mode

india, personal, politics, rant

I really dont know where to start this post its a total random update from the past some weeks…

I am in text mode these days lol, what I mean is I prefer chatting, tweeting, commenting etc etc instead of talking… so guys if I have taken ur calls or not called u back please forgive me I do that when I am a little depressed… ping me on chat will chat for hours together 🙂

Also I am totally enjoying the company of Ojas and mom at home… golden times these are seing my son and my mom bond, what a pleasure

And oh ya yesterday we did, did u?

This was the first time N had casted a vote and he said the feeling is amazing and come to think of it, it does symbolize a lot of freedom isnt it, the freedom to choose our leaders but we have to remember the famous Spiderman lines “With great freedom comes great responsibility”

So make a responsible decision, go caste your vote…

Just came back from a long long walk… tears rolling down the cheeks how much ever I tried to stop them….

Isnt it amazing how sometimes a walk clears your mind and calms you down…

The last two days have been truly miserable… hoping for better times ahead

personal, rant

I have been trying to wean Ojas from the bottle to the sipper and the other day when I came back from the office the communication looked something like this:

ME : did he had milk in the evening?
Maid: yes didi
ME : sipper main ya bottle?
Maid : (fumbling) nahin sipper nahin piya
ME : did u give sipper first
MIL : ya she gave he was refusing… crying

Then later in the night conversation with maid
ME : did u mix horlics with milk when u gave in the sipper?
Maid : sipper?????
ME : evening u gave sipper na???
Maid : (badly fumbling…)haan voh haan voh
ME : (scolding already…. )sipper diya tha ki nahin???????
Maid : nahin madam aaj nahin diya

Post this explained to her calmly that its ok if u do anything wrong but dont lie etc and why I am trying

But my problem is not that, can someone explain WHY MY MIL LIED??????

I am speechless and hurt….

why do mil’s trust maids more than their own DIL’s???????
