Pinku-Enchanted Life

Sweets, crackers and lights All such lovely delights Its that time of the year again When the earth resembles heaven The nip in the air and the fragrance of kadamb Be jolly my friend for DIWALI is here!!! HAPPY DIWALI TO ONE AND ALL!!!

I was a small kid when this happened. I remember catching it on a B&w tv set and Rakesh's reply made me have goosebumps all over. It still does. Its just a small reminder that India is wow after all. Inspite of the naxals, the road rage, the under-construction forever sites, the fraud and the corruption. We have it in ourselves to excel if only if we find the will to.

(This was in the drafts section and I just discovered it. It brought such happy memories that I just had to share!!!) I had a very happy and contented birthday this year. (It was in April...but lets not bicker about small things like dates shall we?) Before you leap to conclusions let me tell you that there was no expensive gift or huge party. It was just a very family affair which felt warm, loving and very, very comforting. Let me take you through a few of the good things {that can be spoken about ;) } A room full of red balloons – Moms attempt at making me feel ‘not so old really’. A cake baked to perfection with my favorite ingredients coffee and chocolate chips!!! Loads of new clothes and two new pair of shoes yippppppppppppeeeeeeeeesssssss!!! And a laptop stand with dancing lights and three small fans...never knew something like this existed till I got this gift. Had lunch with two of the cutest people I know...they do make me lose my cool at times but nothing...

Hi!! thanks for visiting. Am touched that you remember my blog when I have almost forgotten it. No actually that's not true I do remember it, miss it even but life has been such a mad rush this past month that I just haven't had the time to update the blog. What with appraisal time at work, a huge workload, whitewash at home and the office shifting to a new location you can understand how very difficult it can be. And then during this time Durga Puja also happened. Now as you all know or would have guessed I am bong (bengali) therefore Durga Puja is when we are allowed nay expected to go mad with house cleaning, shopping, pandal hopping, relation visiting etc etc. So apart from the chores from para 2 I also had to do the ones in para 3. :) I am hoping to be able to share the pics from some of the Pujo's I visited real soon. But as explained time is at a premium at the moment so please be satisfied with this short post at the moment. Hoping to see you guys around... Oh, don...
