This time it was long due Bday treat for Kunal, Sachin, Krishnan and Kajal. We decided on nice Italian food and hence Little Italy near forum. Mr Sachenn was the menu decider and he is good at it. Kajal keeps a fast on monday, so she was hungry since morning and food just did justice to all our hungry souls. The best lasangne and Nachos in town for sure. Kunal got a nice bday cake with "gans" written on it and hotel staff got the cake on stand and also played the birthday song for me. I was happy and its always fun to celebrate some special moments in life with people who stand by you. Be it the silly jokes, the long walks or cribbing about all the hurdles in life, these people have rendered me their ear and sometimes all that matters is this. Thank You pals, i know i am lucky to have good people around me and hence i thank God that i was born. :D

Ebony- My fav dining place in Blore
A perfect bday eve- just the close friends, roof top and watch the world go by. This year the party was at Ebony. Its nothing new. Those who know me, know that Ebony has been my favorite since ages and years. So, this year again, i wanted to celebrate my birthday in style. However, the weather was not very supportive, when we started from home, it was drizzling, we thought we will have to sit inside and hence miss on the spectacular view from 13th floor. However, we decided to sit outside and for the pouring to start. It drizzled for sometime and stopped. The weather was lovely, the ambience was perfect and drizzling just added to the fun. We went for Italian this time, while i can vouch for the pasta, i cant say the same for lasagne in Ebony. Stuffed mushroom was not bad, but all in all i wont say that one should go to Ebony for food, its the feel of being on the top of the world. :)

My Bday!! :)
Bday is the best day of year is what i have always felt. Its a special day. Since childhood i enjoyed the colorful dresses and importance that i have got on this day. I feel i am grown up, but still birthday excites me. When i look back, i have some very fond memories of this day in my life. Some faces i always wanted around me and then some which got added. 2 years back i had the most wonderful bday of my life, i got this huge red rose bouquet which a friend of mine delivered to office. I was embarassed as i had to carry the same from main gate of office to my desk, but i just knew that roses were lovely. I looked at them all day long and wondered how special could a day be. Some years in life just remain imprinted forever. Last year was ISB, study group was my partner. And this year i just know i added some lovely friends for the special day.
Thank You Smriti, Nandini, Neha, Kunal, Krishnan, Kajal and Puneet for making my day special and givng me some fond memories. Thanks Nimish for being the first one to wish my bady for two decades now. Thanks Sahil for all the lovely pranks and flowers that make me feel special, Vikrant for the smile and bear hug. Sachin for the most beautiful text message and hearty wishes. Teena for keeping the lazy self up till 12. Ajay for fast forwarding my day coz keeping awake was difficult. And to all who were with me tonight to make my day start with a smile. THANK YOU!! You all make my life worth living every moment.

Shit Happens!! :)
This is about some very very strange moments in life.
So, i was walking past a crazy road and a bike rider stopped right next to my leg, that was the day i could have lost it. I was like, BOSS, toot jati to?? He was like toot ti kaise madam, maine bacha liya na.. I was like OK! Chill... Sometimes things just happen...
Then i went for this crazy trek and happily slipped from this cliff, in a very sad about to die condition, i looked at my friend who was holding me, i was like Buddy, i have always been proud of the fact that i am healthy and stuff, but gravity is pulling me down.. Bbyes.. he was like hold, S**t happens, you will be out, just try with me.. And i somehow came up, my frend has this huge cut on hand and i haven't got a single scratch.. So, somethings just happen..
I come to Blore, i get my email id 24 hours late, and my laptop 48 hours late and what not (Includes Unit and geo).. I was almost in tears and then i got a call from my frend, so Cheekoo, howz life?? I said ething is just complicated, i dont know what to do.. And then he goes.. Listen, somethings just happen, take a chill pill, go to the swing and watch the moon , you said your home a nice garden and walking area, good things in your life huh?? :D.. I went back home, went for a movie, had nice food and swinged watching the moon.. So, somethings just happen..
This was my famous run on Heathrow.. So, i had to throw some chocolates as my luggage was 5 kg extra.. There is a huge process to throw stuff and it was near London blast.. I was last one to security check in and i ran through the aisle like there is no tomorrow.. I dint know which door to take till a collegue walked out in DDLJ style and said come this side.. This wasnt it i had lost tickets for my connecting flight to India from Zurich.. So, i sit in Zurich and search endlessly in my bag for the tickets.. I get it in some lousy corner, but by then i have just lost it.. BOSS, why me?? So, my colleague smiled and said because if i were in your place, i would have given up at Heathrow, you fight it babes, you just fight it.. Things happen to special people.. :)
So, this was the time in my life when i had to give my high profile MBA admits right after grad.. With those tears in my eyes, i was like i have to give up what i always loved?? And my frend said coz there is better in store for you.. When i got my ISB degree, i just knew that life never takes away anything from you..
If i look at all the things, i feel why somethings happen? But then i know that S**T happens and thank God to them, you are just a different person, coz that gives you the confidence that even if you are out in fire, you will just be fine... I think i dont fear anything in life anymore.. Somethings just happened to make me everything that i am and everything that i will be.. :)

What i learned!! :)
So, this is what i learned from one of my colleagues.. "Life is never 100%, wherever you are, live it, start thiking when it falls below 70%, till then chillax.. In the end dont forget, nothing is more important in life than happy faces.. " :) As simple as this may sound, these probably are the best words i have ever heard.
Thanks Accent Boy, you will be remembered always for this!!

Yercaud
220 kms from Bangalore is this scenic place called Yercaud. Some of my friends and me decided to head for the same on weekend. We started at 6 AM from Bangalore to stop at A2B road side restaurant for breakfast. After some photo sessions, we started for salem, the ascent to Yercaud starts from Salem. Yercaud is around 30 kms from Salem which is known for its steel plant in India. The way up was amazingly scenic. The city was left behind while we trailed the multiple hair pin bends to way up. Finally, we reached to a lake and we knew we were there. We decided to trek to water fall which was on our way. This was an extremely steep and slippery trek. I stopped mid way despite all the hand holding by friends, while some of them went all the way down to see the waterfall. We then proceeded for lunch at a local place. Dont forget to eat the good sambhar in Tamil Nadu. :)
We then started the hunt for hotel, which was impossible given the crowd in city. We just managed to convince one hotel guy to give us two rooms after 9 PM. As soon as some arrangements were done, we proceeded to the lake for boating. K and K pedalled the boat while me and Kajal had a great time viewing the dear and other boats around. After a good 1.5 hour in the boat, we decided to step out and check into the hotels. We started way back with the cotton candy and rice puff road side delicacies. Back into hotel, we kept our luggage and walked our way to a south indian restaurant for dinner. The food was again simple south indian dosa. We walked back the long trail in dark night and slept like there was no tommorow. We had decided to get up at 5, but that never happened :), so the next day was long walk to Lady's point. This is a place from where one can see entire Salem. It was a beautiful point. The road goes up to another view point called Gent's point and then further up to Children's point. Its a wonder to see the world go by from those points. We then entered into Rose garden, a huge garden with varieties of flowers. By the time we came back to our car, we were dead tired. All we could think of was food and now was the time to try something North Indian in a nice place. We headed for the "Forest Lake" hotel. It had a large buffet spread and we all hogged on food. After hours of sitting on luch table and enjoying the ambience of this beautifulo place, we came back to hotel, packed our bags and started our journey back home.
