Its about learning to dance in the rain!!!
There are many things in life that will catch your eye

7 years itch!!!



(Disclaimer: This post is strictly not for Sophisticated, decent and for people wanting to read only quality stuff!!!)
Rest can continue ;)

Ahaaaaaaaaaaa yes yes yes!!!
When I shout it loud these are the reactions at home
Amma: What happened did you finally get the chapatti round? Me: Nah :P
Appa: Did you solve the puzzle on paper? Me: Nah :P
Sis: Did you cross that level in the Biker game? Me: Nah :P
I with evil grin :D will be proud of my accomplishment and that would be to I reach the impossible remote corners of my back and succeed in itching!!!

Sophisticated darlings, Oh come on don’t make that face!!! Trust me over a week now Itching has become my major task. All I can think of is Itch in the back and keep thinking of how to itch without hurting myself, seems like shortly I am going to apply for PhD in itching. Yes yes I know I will come up with a good name for my Thesis don’t worry!!!

Phewwwwwww Ok let me not make you more uncomfortable rather I will straight get to the topic. Few days back there was a small rash on my back as usual with great Indian mindset of home medication is the best one, I started applying all possible home medicine and also enjoyed the occasional itchiness. And was expecting it to be gone in a day or two, but then it continued and the itch increased uncontrollably now I had to tell my hubs and the very next moment I was in car and rushed to Skin specialist clinic. Though I kept telling hubs itching is good he dint hear a word of mine and pushed me in front of THE DOCTOR,

Hmmmm now the verdict was out there was a resident evil!!! And that’s a chicken pox virus which has reactivated and is now in different avatar as Herpes. And I strictly must not itch the rash instead I have to control it!!! I wish someone understands what it takes to control the itch is!!! But somehow faster than this virus the news of me getting Herpes had spread in my close circuit and I got all sort of advices best one being “told you to pray nagadevatha but you dint see now!!!”

And now If you are still on your seat and have not rushed to sanitize yourself then let me tell you doc told me its in all of us and every one of us are bound to get it sometime in our life time. OHAHAHA :D I scared you!!! So after all the medication, rest, pujas from mom and working from home, I have somehow regained my sanity. But trust me have found out some rarest of rare truths about itch and I must share my great findings with you…

  1. Greatest torture would be tying both hand and legs and then inducing itching!!! Dont you think every jails in the world will get best results out of this!!! I am planning to patent this idea, What do you say about this guys?
  2. When you are told not to itch, Itching is the only thing you can think of. Trust me when you see someone who is fit and fine, do you know what you will think? Che he has all the opportunities to itch and why the hell he is not itching!!! :D
  3. To reach the remotest corner (I know you are all ears now :D) ok I will tell you the trick, you will need both hands, one aiming at the itchpoint and the other supporting it. You need to be flexible for these later don’t complain of muscle cramp!!!
Arrey I also now found out good name for my thesis “7 years itch” :D isn’t it sophisticated and cheat people into reading it ;)???

Enough… Enough is Enough!!! Ok baba don’t shout I will stop ranting :D and concentrate on controlling!!! And advance thanks for all your wishes of Get well soon… (psst instead of these get well soon messages, I would be happy if you tell me better ways of itching without getting caught by itch police in my case HUBS and AMMA… hehehehe)

She had set some important rules as part of this Tag game, but since I am known to break rules J I choose to do only 2 out of 6.
First one is tagging back the blogger who tagged me!!! I did it

And second one - A little chit chat with Ash…

1). When did you start blogging and why?
            Wow thanks buddy for asking this question ;) I can tag my previous post for this and wait for more comments on that post too lol :D check out the answer here :D

2). What makes life worth living?
            YOU Ash! … yes its people like you who sit in some corner of the world and still want to know me isn’t it what makes life so beautiful. This shows that you can expect the unexpected!!! Via blogger have met so many wonderful people with whom I am sharing a very good bonding. Thank to unseen hands for giving such wonderful people around me, so for me its people around me make life worth living. :D

3). What do you like doing in your spare time?
            TALK TALK and TALK. Apart from this if I find any time :D I dance, I blog, I surf, I read and again I TALK ;)

4). Who was your first celebrity crush?
            Anil Kumble!!! Yes I was mad about him. I had posters of him everywhere in my room and even on my school notes. I had seriously decided that he is the one for me. Phew remember crying whole day when he got married!!! And now whenever I see him on TV I still feel he cheated me!!! :D

5). What one quality would you give the most importance to while choosing (or having chosen) a life partner?
            Patience, goals and vision!!! :P none of these. I just liked him for what he was and luckily he turned out to be the perfect man who had all of these :D. Trust me I still pinch myself thinking did I really get such a well matured and organized person as my Life Partner!

6). What do you like most about your job
            What are women very much known for ;) “Doubting” isn’t  it? :D I get paid to do it… Oh no no I am not detective!!! I am just a Test Engineer ;). So what more I can ask for :D.

7). Are you happy with your present choice of career, or would you rather be doing something else?
            For the month end Salary yes I am very much happy. But for the soul within no I am not I would rather be dancing and teaching dance to little kids and see them smile and laugh.

8). Do you follow your head or your heart more?
            Sort of my previous answer has answered this question also… But yes its more situational,  I use them both and I don’t think being practical is crime but I don’t forget to be compassionate and listen to what my heart says as well…

9). If you were given the chance to rewind your life and do any one thing differently, what would that be?
            Nothing absolutely nothing!!! Because if I change anything in the past, I will never get this current experience and all these beautiful things which was meant to happen eventually. So I truly believe “Anything happens, happens for good” so I happily accept my past how much ever bad or good I was.

10). How would you react if you were being followed by a shady-looking character in a secluded place? 
            I would read out all my poems ;) !!!
Jokes apart, One of my close friends always warned me to safe guard myself by keeping pepper sprays with me all the time. So in such situation I would rather seek for help or have some safety with me.

11). Tell me about someone whom you've met in the strangest manner, who has then gone on to become an integral part of your life.
2 people, one I met as a co-passenger and other by a wrong email id, Both remain as very good friends of mine till date. Love the way of life! Strangest things happen when you least expect.

Finally Life is beautiful and worth living and reliving. :)

P.S:  Ash, sorry I did not follow all the rules!

The Goddess



Swaroop a young engineer and a talented guy who’s greatest interest was photography and photo editing. It was his passion to capture beautiful moments and then groom it into more beautiful pictures which stunned the viewers.

 Lately he was very much distracted and couldn’t focus on anything. All these started on that day when he was invited for a cultural program in his office and he was supposed to photograph the event. Event was a cultural treat of classical dance. Swaroop was very much occupied in covering the event and did it to his best. His was asked to share the snaps at the earliest, so he started working on the snaps as soon as he came back. He choose snaps after snaps and started editing them, at one snap his heart beat skipped seeing a beautiful woman who looked heavenly. Posing beautifully in one of the Goddess’s posture she actually looked like one. Swaroop couldn’t trust his eyes and couldn’t believe that he took that snap. He was unable to recollect when and how this was taken.
After this one snap he could hardly do anything other than staring at the snap endlessly and editing it.  And next day he met the organizers of the event handed over the snaps and also found out that all the dancers were internal employees. Swaroop from that day onwards had tried all possible ways to find out who that girl was but all in vain, in a company of 25000 employee he couldn’t manage to find even name of that girl who was like heavenly angel for him.
And today was one such opportunity, the Photography Competition and Swaroop knew that this could be a very good opportunity to meet that girl. So he had chosen that beautiful snap of that girl, carefully edited to its best and framed it with beautiful frame. Swaroop took special interest in organizing and was there at the competition venue whole day but actually he was expecting a beautiful woman to walk by enquiring about her snap being portrayed in the competition. Employees started coming into the venue and no doubt almost everybody stopped for a moment longer at the picture named ‘The Goddess’ which had temple background and a stunningly beautiful woman in the foreground. Everybody was interested to know who captured it.

Smitha and Kalyani who were all engrossed in the pictures displayed were walking down the aisle admiring at the beauty of the snaps and discussing about many aspects in them.  Beautiful, confident Smitha was all busy in counting the number of men at the venue who were eyeing at her. Kalyani, who always felt inferior about her looks, wondered if anyone would even notice her presence. She always admired the confidence Smitha carried, Smitha’ s support had got the best of Kalyani on stage. They both danced in the group but Kalyani’s dedication in dancing used to transform her to different personality on stage, her smile was admired, she attracted the audience and her beautiful expressions captured the audience. Many were mesmerized seeing this beauty dancing but offstage Kalyani always remained shy, inferior and neglected.

As the day progressed Swaroop was getting more and more restless, he was near his display “The Goddess” he was being constantly praised and was assured by viewers that he will be winning the competition for this beautiful capture and edits. He just smiled in dismay and told one of the friends that this female may be much more beautiful in real may be his camera has not done justice to capture her beauty but he wished the girl in the snap turns to the event and meets him, that would be the biggest victory for him.

Kalyani having over heard this discussion, silently walked passed that display but on hearing such desperation, Smitha turned to see what they were discussing. She was baffled by the beauty of the snap, she couldn’t believe her eyes, She loudly exclaimed “Oh my god, this is…..” Swaroop came running to her and was stunned to see Smitha though he could not find the resemblance to the snap he knew that it was her.  She turned to Swaroop in complete excitement held his hand and told “Thanks you so much, did you capture this? Oh my god this is my.. my” Swaroop held her hand tightly and told “yes dear I know that is your snap, after seeing you I think I dint do justice! you are so much more beautiful than that” Smitha was confused and looked at her friend Kalyani, only to see Kalyani signaling her not to reveal that snap was kalyani’s  and as the crowd gathered clapping at this union Kalyani silently left the venue with tears in her eyes…
