Daddy's Gal

Friday, December 04, 2009

As a kid, I was dad's gal, big time. All my dad said was intellectual, meaningful and sensible. There was no way I would disagree or find fault. If he said yes, yes was my answer too and if no, so it was.

Over the years, in sportive spirit, we have had several arguments over differences of opinion. It meant, I started thinking otherwise of many opinions that I had inherited from my dad. Dad being a perfect gentleman, has always given scope for free thinking.Some still converge and some opinions diverge to a large extent and we leave it at that for every individual has an opinion and it has to be respected. As I mentioned in my previous post, I go-kart and I like Swift car too!
We do think different.

I find it funny to recollect that I always liked actors my father was a fan of and disliked the ones, he did. But now, I have a bunch of 'good' actors that are not in my father's list. Trust me , he doesn't like Hrithik Roshan and Akshay Kumar.

The one thing of some that was a yes then because my dad felt so and still is a yes for I feel so too, is that Aamir Khan is a supreme actor. Man! I saw some of the promos of "Three Idiots", and I must tell, he is all set to do the magic yet again.

I recollect another one, my dad always disliked Shahrukh Khan and I share that opinion till-date! Some things never change :)

Standing Instructions

Do not go-kart in front of your parents.

If I were sad that the four laps that were given to me got over in a flicker, someone out there was relieved for the same reason, that there were just 4 and it got over in a jiffy! My Father, you know.

To parents, kids remain so forever!

Fact is, kids grow, parents don't seem to ;).
Sometimes(when not go-karting, that is), that very fact is such a pleasure!

Festival of sorts

Monday, November 30, 2009

Yesterday, I announced to my husband that two incompatible entities were going to come together the next morning.
The "incompatible" tag is very much an opinion of his, with respect to him.  He hates them single as much as seeing them together. It was going to be incompatibility squared!! He wouldn't care if they were incompatible to eachother, but to him they sure are.

He: " I am going to be on leave tomorrow, for sure".

Me:  "Huh??!! Why? Monday Blues? "

He:   "Isn't there a food-festival happening at home!!?? How can I imagine going to office??!!"

Me"   "Grrrrr"

Well, it was the coming together of Chickpea and cabbage in the curry!!


I have decided to continue the celebrations, much to his dismay.Tomorrow, it is most certainly going to be beet-root's day out ( of the refrigerator)!!

I hate T.V

Tuesday, November 10, 2009



I declare that I hate T.V. These words take significance as they are coming out of the mouth of a person who was once a T.V buff.

Coming to the reason, well, not sure if it is because I watch so less of it or if the less that I watch is itself more than enough to bore me out!

Stress maker or breaker?

Saturday, November 07, 2009


Lady: You know what, you try to rule over me!



Man: No Baby, how can that be possible?



Lady: Enough is enough. I don’t want to compromise all the time.




Man: I totally agree.. but what is the problem?



Lady: Why do I have to always watch a sci-fi movie in which eyes pop out of some deadly creature having some stupid antennae and robotic body.




Man: When do I object to your watching anything?



Lady: Well.. you get to object something only if I watch,, I mean, if I get to watch!



Man: Ok.. take the remote.. all yours.



Lady: No.. I don’t want anyone’s mercy. Women don’t need mercy, they want equal rights!

[She gets up to walk out of the living room]



Man: What do you want me to do now?



Lady: Whatever.. like you care for my wishes. You have a bunch of those extra-terrestrials to
gape at !



Man: Ok.. come on.. cheer up, lets watch Comedy circus now.






Lady mumbles, Gosh! So much of emotional black-mail to watch a one hour show, once a week!!

Man: You said something?

Lady: No.. what's the theme for comedy today?





T.V is supposed to relieve one of stress, more often than not, does all else but that!


Picture perfect

Monday, November 02, 2009

Right now.. everything around me looks just perfect.. not an inch here or there, I want modified. Isn't that one of the rare things in life, to love what we have and want it that way too?

I am happy :)

Made in China

Friday, October 30, 2009


Yet another article "Made in China" I own today. Some I owned when on my short foreign visit and a lot when my kith and kin visited us shortly.

China's got all the talent in the world, but just is due to realize that it can and is ruling the world, controlling other countries' economy and most importantly ,making life easy for people staying abroad, visiting us on a vacation!! It is so natural to expect 'imported' gifts and one wouldn't mind fulfilling the expectation as long as 'Made in China' articles are there to be gifted.

I am not complaining at all :) After all, I got an imported gift !
