This is for hubby dear...HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Today is our anniversary and I have been wondering as to what gift should I get for A...after some serious thoughts on various kinds of gifts, I thought why don't I tell him what I feel :)

So here you go Mr Hubby, this is for you

Do you remember Dec 25th, 2003???
That's when I chatted with you for the first time! that's when I met you, thanks to some chat room (I don't remember it!)
We then met on Feb 16th,17th and 18th of 2004...well let me get the cat out of the bag...I proposed to you and I do not regret saying those words till date
I knew it was love at first sight for you, it was sooo apparent, but I also knew that if I do not take the first step, this could go along for a long long time...till date I think to myself " Thank God I told you what my heart felt that moment"...do you regret saying Yes immediately?
Jan 16th 2005, we got engaged and tied the knot on Dec 15th 2005 :)

We are going to start our ninth year of knowing each other...and seventh year of life together!!!Congratulations!!!

When I look back, I only have to say "Thank you" to God to bring us together...that was magical...all I know is that we were meant to be together...that was God's choice!
We are blessed with a beautiful son and a wonderful extended family...Thank you

As a hubby, you are so unromantic...or else,who would gift a photo frame for anniversary and ask for each anniversary what do you want...eeesh how boring, however, if I ignore that part, you have the best of qualities and I totally love you!!!...wait wait wait I also have to ignore the part that you are so unadventurous/so boring during weekends/so addicted to loud Suresh Gopi's mallu movies(yuk!) and you have no hobbies!!!
Phew...apart from the above, I adore you so much!!!
Its the first anniversary when we are not together, but you are where its more important and I am not sad at all
They say that if you love a person completely, then you do not regret if he is not there on a special day
I know that I love you in every second of my life!!!
Love you completely and miss you "A"
Happy Anniversary hubby dear!
Here's wishing us loads of years of togetherness :)

P.S: Thank you for accepting the way I am and thank you for being You always!!!

Did the movie live up to the music :Rockstar???

And the answer is No
I had so much of expectation...
There were just two things great of the movie Rockstar : The music and the hero!!!
Was disappointed with Imtiaz Ali's direction, there was faults in direction and the actress...Nargis, well she is very very pretty but someone please teach her to act
Guess Imtiaz was so much in love with her face, that couldn't he check after every scene, whether she could act?
Poor Ranbir Kapoor, he has such immense talent but he still hasnt got the right movie..but yes he is outstanding in this movie!!! First half was great, and I was expecting second half to be better, but after the interval, it seemed that Imtiaz Ali had lost it and just did not know what to do next...it got so boring and so fictitious!!!
Music is out of the world and I have described each song in my previous blog!
Well the movie never lived up to the music!!!

I have nothing else to day, but, thanks, thanks and thanks. ~William Shakespeare

Today I want to say thank you to everyone around me!!
I am so grateful to be part of this beautiful world
Thanks to my wonderful hubby, a great son, lovely parents and supportive in-laws and everyone who has helped me and supported me
Thanks to all my teachers, friends, colleagues,relatives and all acquaintances who have crossed my life at any time!
Thank to each one across this world                                                                              
Thanks to this beautiful world for accepting me the way I am...thank you...thank you world!!!

Guhantara! Rocky outing :)

Well Guhantara-India's first rock cave resorts!
Thats where we spent our Sunday...my take on this place is as follows
Well this is located off Kanakapura Road, Bangalore

Well the trip was fine, thanks to NICE road, however when we take the right from Kanakapura road, expect very narrow roads, however thats just 3 kms...you have to travel through muddy roads for a km
You also see a unit of Brigade being constructed and one thinks to themselves,how will people travel or will all of them work from home? :)
Anyways once we reach Guhantara, its a nice experience...don't expect it to be a minimal crowd kind of scenario...this place is economical and hence suited for both family outings and corporate get aways
When we reached there, thee were already team activities happenings for two major corporates
Well the passage to the main entrance is scary in the begining...however, it soon turns to be romantic..and you just hope that it does not get over
We were welcomed with a drink, which was sad :(
Anyways the restaurant looked good and they announced that they have a rain dance concept in the afternoon
The restaurant had two pools, one for kids below 5 and the other had a waterfall concept
The former one's water didnt look that great, however waterfall concept was a huge hit amongst visitors
After having the drink, we left to explore the place
There were horse ridings,dart trips,archery,pottery making,badminton,basket ball, indoor activities(billiards and TT) to name some
Please expect a huge crowd in the play area..there is also a children playground (for kids below 5) which was something kids in our gang enjoyed...its a simple playground, but kids if they have their friends, they can enjoy in any playground :)
After trying out outdoor activities, it was already 1:20 and we headed towards the restaraunt and I was taken aback, as the crowd was huge..well it was a Sunday
It was a buffet with India dishes and one Chinese dish...it even has simple dal chawal which is definitely a boon when you have toddlers in your group
However, while having lunch you realize that the restaurant does not have proper seating arrangements and hence you will see people eating anywhere and everywhere...you will also see mothers feeding child...the place gets dirtier, however, there are people cleaning the place in frequent intervals
After food is done, its time for rain dance and everyone changes in a jiff to their swimming costumes
At 2:45 rain dance starts with a not so great DG...However is you have a good group, you will be able to enjoy..we had a blast with the kids around and trust me kids enjoys this concept...why wont they for once their parents do not scold them for getting wet :)
After this is done, we then explored other pools...well too small and too crowded
However we were determined to have fun and so we did
And finally in the evening they serve tea and snacks, in our case it was bhajjies!
By 6, you see everyone leaving the place, except for those who are staying there
To sum it all-If you have a group of kiddos and want to experience a fun filled day, then Guhantara is not a bad choice...you may not end up coming here every now and then but yes once and maximum twice, you can think of this place
I would definitely like to stay here next time, I think that would also be a good experience
My rating is *** to Guhantara
*Sad (Will Never come) **Okay (Will come if have no choice) *** Average (Will visit, once or twice) ****Good (Will come whenever I can) *****Superb (Would love to camp here for life)

Do let me know your views!

AR Rehman does it again!

Rockstars music is beautiful...just heard all 14 songs and boy it was a musical treat
Thank you ARR and special thanks to Irshad Kamil-he has penned such beautiful and interesting lyrics
The first song "Phir se Ud chala" is fresh and inspiring
"Jo bhi main" : tells us so much and the lyrics are so perfect...I relate to those words completely..my 4yr old loves it!
"Katiya Karoon"-well its nice..I know its a hit but its not my personal favourite amongst the 14 tracks
"Kun Faya Kun"-Its heavenly...too divine and peaceful...loved it completely
"Sheher main"-Its a cool song
"Hawa Hawa"-very interesting...it reminded me of Guzaarish, but the track is fun
"Aur Ho" - The background music is awesome,dark..it reminds me Tu hi Tu!Its the same theme of desperateness
"Tango for Taj" : Wow thats the word : The music leaves you with joy and I wish the track was longer :)
"Tum Ko" : starts off as a typical Kavita number...but after just few seconds I realize that nope..this is differenct and the word is beautiful
"The Dichatomy of fame" is pleasant...it starts off in the same lines of one of the song of Rang de Basanti...but thats for a fraction of a second..its a pleasant track
"Nadaan Parinde": is truly inspiring
"Tum Ho" : Its romantic and Mohit Chauhan is so perfect in it
"Sadda Haq" is a rebel with an India twist!
"Meeting place" is just nice and yes make me feel sad :)
14 tracks with each having its own distinct style statement..thats what Rockstar's music is all about!!!
Its a musical journey and I loved it
Hope the moves lives up to the music
Thank you ARR!!!
