Hyderabad Riots
So this is what happened exactly…
There was this group who just celebrated Milad Unnabi and who forgot to remove these decorations. Yesterday was Hanuman Jayanti and some folks wanted to celebrate it just like we celebrate any other festival, decorate all the roads like they belong to you and then later leave them like a mess after the festival and don’t care a damn about it.
Now they had to remove the previous decorations to add theirs and thats where a group of 2-3 people had an argument about which led to riots in more than 20 areas in the city of Hyderabad.
I don’t even have any words to say…Why do we do this to ourselves and to our surroundings?
GOD show them a way to understand you better, that you are more than decorations, proclamations of who owns which place, who is the superior. Its love all that matters at the end of the day…
Ever heard the verse “Love your neighbor as yourself”? I’m more than sure this is preached everywhere.
Let there be peace….
P.S I love you

A visit to the In-laws
This is usually every girls biggest day and so was mine. I was little nervous.
It was around 6 in the evening and it was a little cold…considering that it was summer back then it was very strange…
We parked the vehicle. There was a guy, who was sitting outside and was selling these very beautiful Aurel Flowers. We picked two bag full of them and then walked towards the gate(as the gate was onto the main road we had to park the vehicle a little away).
And while I was walking and thinking how it’d be to meet them.. there was this chill shiver through my legs and it was a little hard for me to walk…I never was in this situation before and its my in-laws……..I stopped ……..for a minute and and looked at him(who is now my husband)…he said “Don’t worry…I’m with you…” and saying that he held my hand…..we opened the gate and started walking inside…
There were not many people around…a couple of workers cleaning the place, picking up the leaves that are falling off from the trees and clearing the walk way….and they stare at you intensely wondering where you will stop……and then …..we did stop when we reached the right place….
There I was holding his hand and standing in the middle of the Cemetery, nervous, tensed and bereaved. I cannot forget that feeling and will never forget that first visit..and yes both my father-in-law and mother-in-law are in the same grave next to each other. We got the surface cleaned and arranged the flowers and spent some time in silence.
May their mighty souls rest in peace…Amen
“A day” in Married Life
Well, for the ones who did not know (which might not be a lot of you) I got married on Dec 4th 2009.
And then a new journey.. wait..why do they say new journey?? For some reason I feel it was normal untill that “A Day” that am gonna write about. It was exactly then that I felt that I’m Married.
It goes like this…
- 6:00 AM : In Bed. Alarm went on.
- 6:01 AM : Got out of bed into the kitchen straight.
- 6:10 AM : Coffee is ready for Hubby.
- 6:11 AM : Back to the bedroom. Woke up hubby. Gave him Coffee and back to the kitchen
- 6:20 AM : Hot water ready for a shower. Done with washing utensils. Done making break fast for Hubby (just oats but still counts)
- 6:45 AM : Out of the shower. Got dressed. Waiting for the Cab.
- 6:55 AM : Good bye to Hubby. In the Cab.
- 7:30 AM : At office.
- 5:00 PM : Stepped out of office.
- 6:00 PM : Reached home. Hello Hubby.
- 6:20 PM : Relaxation time.
- 7:00 PM : Swept the house. Washed clothes in the machine (to guide your imagination).
- 7:15 PM : Visited parents with Hubby. Had fun.
- 8:00 PM : Back home. (5 min drive)
- 9:00 PM : Made Chicken (for hubby, hez a pure non-vegeterian), Rotis and Beans curry(for me am a pure veggie).
- 10:00 PM : Washed the unclean vessels.
- 10:30 PM : Back to bed. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz……….
and there it was ….a very perfectly normal and mechanical day as it might sound for anyone who is married but it was the one day that made me feel that am married.
Sometimes it is very important to enjoy even the smallest things we do in life, does make our life very cheerful.
Adios

Wedding planner
I really think I should become one.
I know a lot of people told me this when I was helping them out with their weddings, but something thats hitting me now that no one except me knows it the best on where and how to get things done for a wedding. Yeah you will see all that at my wedding
Anyways.. I was like always Google-ing on where to start and finding resources a few months back, sad that there aint a lot of help there, I mean specific to Indian weddings. So I thot I will come up with one.
I’m documenting everything that is being planned and will publish a planner(in a week).
Google wishes Happy Birthday to Micheal Jackson

My first audition
Alright !!!
A little late on the time line, but this was sitting in my drafts.. so here it comes….
I got a call from my cousin one day at 11 in the night, this one usually won’t call very often and a call at that time made me feel it was a lil important, even though I was very sleepy and would have ignored any other call at the time, I picked his call. He sounded very excited that I answered the call and asked me straight away.. “Do you want to be on TV ?” and my answer was .. “Depends I don’t want a lot of fan following as am already tired of giving autographs 
? ”
Anywyas…So he said his friend is looking for someone to host a show on TV and he asked me if I’m game for it
I decided to go to the auditions….It was supposed to be scheduled in the morning, but I called them and moved it to afternoon-evening.. (see am throwing tantrums already) , I was a lil occupied with my regular saturday schedule, you know how tempting it is to skip the schedule for anything even an audition !! Oh which is btw playing with 2-3 year old kids.
3 PM: I step out and call up this guy to get directions. No offense but OMG this guy is very bad at giving directions, I was just hoping he was not he one who will direct me when I get in front of the camera. When I was trying to picture the directions when he was giving .. I felt like there was a rolla-costa ride inside my head !! I immediately stopped him, told him call him from one of the stop points.
4PM: Managed to reach on time.Remember, I knew no one there, this was supposed to be my cousins close friend, who happened to see me at some wedding and called me for the auditions. I could not recollect who it was, but ya I felt famous already. So now, I was asked to be seated and I was being treated like a celebrity there, water, coke was asked if the AC was ok and what not.. and Oh yes I totally enjoyed all that attention.
4:30 P.M: They give me a script and ask me to take few minutes to read through. They asked me to be as casual as possible so that it will come out naturally. I start reading. It is these famous dialog’s these anchors say. ” we will come back after a short break” , “thanks a lot for tuning into blah blah” and in both Telugu, Hindi and English. I was laughing so badly in my head when he handed over me the script, was very tough to control. That was exactly when it hit me what I was doing. But I sure wanted to have my own fun in front of the camera, the one good thing was that there was absolutely no one there whom I have to face the next day so I was very excited and was was practicing in front of the mirror. I could totally see the drama queen in me.
5:00 PM: A Lady walk into the green room, gives me a touch of make up and then I was called to give a shot. I enter the room full of lights and camera’s and looks totally like a mess. So much that I was scared I will trip off one of those wires. The mike was fixed to my dress and they gave me few moments to get used to the lights and the camera and then he went counting from 5-1 with his fingers and said “action”. Then that moment when I went blank and I did not see anything in front of me. I was talking and saying all that was written in the script but inside my head I was only picturing myself from the other side of the TV.
5:30 PM: I was standing and there was still these lights that were blazing at me and I cannot see anyone beyond that point, but I knew there are people in that room. I was sure I did the script right and I was waiting for them to respond. While all this was running in my head there were these 3 people who walk from the light towards me clapping and saying that I did a really good job. I totally imagined a 100 odd camera’s clicking around me and felt like a new born celebrity.
6:00 P.M: Everything is wrapped up they are very happy they found a new host for their show and I was given some papers to sign and all that jazz. I told them I will get back and then walk out of that place.
A very small channel a very small show and an audition for just a show, but I totally enjoyed all kind of attention and all the drama I did for the audition. It is a different world altogether.
Stop laughing ok. how many of you ever gave auditions.. haha at all of you now :p
