Normalcy is also good

Ciao, Salut, Vanakkam, Namaskaar, Namashkaar and hello to everyone. A week has flown by. It hasn’t exactly been interesting or dull. I guess you get these days interspersed with good and bad days. Oh boy. I suck at introductions. Please bear with me!

Ethnic day at office
Today ethnic day was celebrated at my workplace. I didn’t participate or anything. My reason was quite obvious. So I just observed others enjoy themselves. People had made a lot of effort for today. Lots of people came in kurtas, pajamas, sarees, ghagra cholis and more. One guy turned out quite shrewd. He brought his attire in his bag, hoping to judge the scene. On seeing that there was company for him, he wore kurta pajamas. Nice move, man. Onto the ladies now, where adjectives might become insufficient. Mind you I am very picky about my adjectives and I really mean them. One lady who came in a saree was looking absolutely gorgeous. When I saw her, I was stunned. This doesn’t happen to me much, running out of adjectives at an instant. Happened today though. Great. Another woman in saree I thought looked bellissimo. I wanted to praise her beauty by saying something good (I had it in my mind, but I can’t remember it now :P ) Instead I mumbled,”Oho, kya baat h! Traditionals!” Damn! That was bad. One more woman in Ghagra Choli looked amazing. Keep it up, ladies. (If it wasn’t clear already, I am not judging any person based on their looks. I’m merely making an observation.)

Wazir
I watched Wazir on Sunday. If you haven’t watched the movie, and plan to watch it, skip this paragraph. Massive spoilers ahead! Wazir was good. No doubt about it. The amount of attention paid to the little details was very impressive. The suspense was built quite well. But I was disappointed due to its similarity with Kahaani (one of the best movies I have seen.) A point comes where you feel, “I know the story ahead.” So that kinda spoiled the fun for me. I think it was the first time I had watched a movie and my roommates hadn’t. Overall a good movie, but if you have seen Kahaani, consider revising your plan.

Cooking
I like to cook. I tried cooking roti sabji on Sunday. I planned just for myself though. The curry I had in my mind was moong. I steamed moong along with potatoes. Then I fried the two with masala and salt to taste. But it didn’t come off as I had hoped. There is definitely room for improvement.


The usual updates
This time surprisingly I have stagnated at all three of my pastimes. I’m stuck at a place in keyboard, not really getting enough time for Italian and French, and haven’t finished the novel yet. I will have progress next week though.


It is very cold here today. Brrr.That is it, folks. Enjoy your day. I hope you got something out of my tiny yet hard-thought blog post. Until next time! Bye, shabbakhair,nantar bhetu, varein, au revoir and ciao!.

Going home, Pune trip and more

                Hola! Long time since I wrote anything, and here I am writing two posts. With so much happening, I have barely had time to breathe, least of all write a blog. Even today I just found time, because I am in a train, bound towards Kalyan, taking me away from Hyderabad for a deserved break from the mundane.                 I had to make an extremely difficult choice, one that I did not want to nor that agrees with my nature. But facing the truth is better than being under a delusion, only to be disappointed at the end. I cannot give keyboard exam this time. L (Sobbing inside) I am just too underprepared, and frankly, I have heavier things on my plate. The teacher thought 3 months would be enough, even I felt so. But it wasn’t meant to be. The exam comes too early for me, and I, despite wanting to, cannot practice and perfect the syllabus on time to p...

New year resolutions

Belated happy new year! It is the time of the year where people set goals and targets for the year. Most fall short by the first or second month. Even I do. But my last year's resolutions were actually so good, I accomplished what I set out for: learn 2 foreign languages, Italian and French. At a basic level, but yeah, enough to survive. And some other goals too, which I did achieve satisfactorily. So what next? I have some resolutions this year too! Let me share some: Get better at piano This is compulsory. No two ways about this. For the past few months, I have become a little distant from the piano. But not anymore. I already started learning a song, one that is usually on my lips! The joy I derive from playing the piano, even if for little time, is very immense. And I already feel better. There is something magical about learning music, and at any cost, I do not want to disconnect from it. Do I have a plan? Umm… no. I have a new piano on my mind, but that depen...

First blog post

Its turning out to be a wonderful week and I just had a fantastic day. So before I change my mind about doing something else, I am writing my first blog. So first things first. 15th October. My sister's birthday. Many many happy returns of the day to her on her b'day. Hope she has many more memorable birthdays in her life. She has her exams, so she was kinda busy. I'll take a party from her in November. Italian I am learning Italian as a foreign language on Duolingo. One of the best places to learn a language, better than Memrise anyway. I'm yet to start the BBC courses which are supposedly good. Duolingo says I'm 54% fluent in Italian, which sounds really cool. Maybe it is. I can form sentences which are used daily. In about 15 days or so, I will finish the Duolingo course. Then begins the BBC ones. Duolingo incidentally erased my 23 day streak, which is quite frustrating. I now start from a 1 day streak. Not that it matters. How much you speak, listen...
