What's wrong with me? my last post was on feb 9th ..sure there's something wrong with me.. yea right!

I look back the prev posts and I see most of 'em are "hey guys..i'm back..back to bloggin.. feels good/great to be back to bloggin" .. *giggles*
I guess its time I get my health check-up done.
Aren't you guys tired of reading the same message? .. you can be frank.. i won't kill ya

Guess its the travel sickness playing the part.. *scratches her head * ..'coz for the long weekend i've been to Reno for skiing and now this weekend i've been to Half Moon Bay Beach. Well the trip to half moon bay was a surprise. I woke up early on saturday and got ready (which i usually dont) .. seeing me all dressed up .. uday said lets go
' but go where? ' - me
' just a long drive'- uday
' hmm....*thinkin*.. but where?' -me
' I don't know .. may be to the city (san francisco) followed by a big smile' -uday

Ah to the city... thats a nice idea.. I don't havta get down from the car ;).
' So who's driving? with a wicked smile ' -me

uday knows that i don't drive to the city.. 'coz i damn scared of the traffic and moreover .. the one way lanes.. the city is lyk a maze.

Within no time were hit the roads and took the san mateo bridge/ route 92. Puzzled I asked uday ' aren't we supposed to take the bay bridge?' There was no answer.
'No prbs.. anyhow we havta go to city.. dosen't matter which route we take.' - talking to myself.
Few mins l8er .. he pointed out to the map book and said 'locate where we are? i suppose route 92 should hit half moon bay' .
Half moon bay?? wherez that?
'dumbo.. that's why i asked you to find where it is '
'I'm so so bad at mapping.. I always scored less in mapping.. damn i hate this.

But nEways.. i finally managed to locate where we were. *phew* .. made a stop at the gas station.. filled the gas and bought something to eat n drink since its a long drive and i usually buy something to munch.

*giggles* ... bought 2 bars of Hershies Milk Choc0late with Almonds and 2 tins of Coke.. i noe i noe thats the worst combination... chocolate n coke... weird isn't it?
THAT'S ME!

And the fun begins.. i was enjoying the nature's beauty taking pictures while sipping coke and eating chocolate in small bites.... yummmyyyyy!!!!

Khate khate .. pata hi nahi chala that we reached our destination.
I was dumb when i looked at the beach. ------ "Beautiful!"
' lets go down there '
'oh! you must be kiddin'
'no .. come on'
[i lyk beaches which are neat n clean.. coz i had a bad experience last time at malibu beach]
'at least get out of the car'
so i got out.. looking whether the beach is clean n not smelling.
' now that you are standing here.. why not we take a walk down there'
'yea right! with my heels on? .. you should have told me at home .. i would atleast bring my beach shoes '
'ah big deal! take ur heals off and walk on bare foot'
'there's dog poopy all over and... '
'and that's it .. don't be silly..come'

there was no stairs.. so had to walk through the rocks .. and at the end i told him to hold me when i jump .. but he didn't hold properly so i fell

there was a brabeque going on n some surfers around.. it was quite, pleasant and peaceful. Uday was walking and i was bz collecting shells.. took some pictures ... sat there for a while, watching the surfers , the sunset, the waves.

I didn't want to go back.. just wanted to watch the sun set but hadta go.. it was getting dark. Disappointed, I was looking at the big rock n thinkin .. oh no! do i havta climb that rock again ?? is there no other way to get back to the car? suddenly i heard a voice from far away.. ' hey we can take the stairs .. come lets go' . .. My face was blushing when i heard that.. 'thank god' .. what a relief!

drove back to home .. made a stop at the indian restaurent ... aaloo paratha ..yummyyyy
came home... couldn't wait to see the pictures ..so I uploaded the pictures to my laptop. Of all the pictures
i liked
---- this one a lot and
this is the best picture I've taken so far.

All in all it was a gr8 day!!

Sorry for not updating my blog. Couple of reasons why i was away from blogging.

The main reason being , word of the worlds site was under maintenance. After bombarding our hosting co., with emails , he finally replied back saying there was a DNS error and to top it he continued saying that they didn't receive last month's payment.

I was depressed and same time cursing for not backing up the database[what if he deleted it.. I havta find another hosting guy .. and start again? ] . Phew! those were the worst days ever. But during that 1 week, it gave me time to catch up on old things.

The other reason being.. my laziness. damn! was even lazy to reply back ... bas khana peena soona aur movies dekhna (saw rang de basanti .. but damn lazy to write my review abt it )

I'm so glad that my assignments are all done and feels great to back to blogging . As you might have noticed by now .. i changed the template and customized here n there. Hope you guys like the new template... your feedback is important.

Alright, i got a call from mah friend n so i'm gonna end this here. [help her with her assignment ] In the mean time check out the prev post. Its a poem.


p.s: If I didn't visit your blog or didn't reply back in the past couple of days .. ho sake to maaf kardena ;)

Ever rising, ever falling with the waves of time,
still rolling on I go
From fleeting scene to scene ephemeral,
with life's currents' ebb and flow.
Oh! I am sick of this unending force;
these shows they please no more.
This ever running, never eaching,
nor e'en a distant glimpse of shore!

From life to life I'm waiting at the gates,
alas, they open not.
Dim are my eyes with vain attempt
to catch one ray long sought.
On little life's high, narrow bridge
I stand nd see below
The struggling, crying, laughing throng.
For what? No one can know.

In front yon gates stand frowning dark,
and say: "No farther way,
This is the limit; tempt not Fate,
bear it as best you may;
Go, mix with them and rink this cup
and be as mad as they.
Who dares to know but comes to grief;
stop then, and with them stay."

Alas for me, I cannot rest.
This floating bubble, earth--
Its hollow form, its hollow name,
its hollow death and birth--
For me is nothing. How I long
to get beyond the crust
Of name and form! Ah! ope the gates;
to me they open must.

Open he ates of light, O Mother, to me Thy tired son.
I long, oh, long to return home!
Mother, my play is done.

You sent me out in the dark to play,
and wore a frightful mask;
Then hope departed, terror came,
and play became a task.
Tossed to and fro, from wave to wave
in this seething, surging sea
Of passions strong and sorrows deep,
grief is, and joy to be,

Where life is living death, alas! and death--
who knows but 'tis
Another start, another round of this old heel
of grief and bliss?
Where children dream bright, golden dreams,
too soon to find them dust,
And aye look back to hope long lost
and life a mass of rust!

Too late, the knowledge age doth gain;
scarce from the wheel we're gone
When fresh, young lives put their strength
to the wheel, which thus goes on
From day to day and year to year.
'Tis but delusion's toy,
False hope its motor; desire, nave;
its spokes are grief and joy.

I go adrift and know not whither.
Save me from this fire!
Rescue me, merciful Mother, from floating with desire!
Turn not to me Thy awful face,
'tis more than I can bear.
Be merciful and kind to me,
to chide my faults forbear.

Take me, O Mother, to those shores
where strifes for ever cease;
Beyond all sorrows, beyond tears,
beyond e'en earthly bliss;
Whose glory neither sun, nor moon,
nor stars that twinkle bright,
Nor flash of lightning can express.
They but reflect its light.

Let never more delusive dreams
veil off Thy face from me.
My play is done, O Mother,
break my chains and make me free!

- Swami Vivekananda.
