keep your promises guys!

Your sitting in a five star hotel, facing your client and fidgeting with your cell phone.

Journalist had promised you that he is going to be there. You checked five minutes back and he confirmed that he is on this way; just in front of the hotel. coming!
Another call : yes yes i am coming!
one more call after 15 minutes - his phone is switched off or not taking your calls.

Boom.... he has just turned turtle at eleventh hour . He is not coming ... :-/

How many times this has happened with you in your PR career? I am sure, must have happened at least once. I think, they say many things just to play along,but, why bother doing that. Why not tell us that he are not interested in a meeting or doing certain story? Is it because that we PR people do not take no for an answer and keep on pestering a journalist, until he says yes?

Well, whatever is the reason; i cant put with the shindy my client is going to kick up soon.

Curse you Cricket

I am unable to understand people’s obsession with cricket. Having grown up in a cricket crazy family i sometimes hate this game more than my ill fitting dresses. I still painfully remember how because of this loathsome game my brother and dad would take possession of our only TV set. Okay, i admit, i had a teeny weeny crush on Jadeja but then he was given the sack. So, my only reason to watch this game was snatched away from me.



Why this sudden rant about cricket?? Because, i am still suffering from my dad’s cricket mania. Even though i am married, thankfully not to a cricket enthusiast, dad keeps on calling me to brief me not only about india’a match or how india is doing in particular series but about anything on cricket. He calls me to discuss about Pakistan’s alleged match fixing thing. When will he ever understand his daughter doesn’t as much as know the names of our (Indian) team.

God, I know, i am going to get good piece of mind if he ever come to know about this post.

Stop Fooling- Fashion and You

Came to know about this "great" website from my sis in law, bidya, Fashion and You. The site offers great discount on products when there is none going on the same product in the market. So, we were delighted to buy nice fashion products at huge discounts until we came to know about their sinister plan against poor us.


It turned out that Fashion and you is fooling us. They price some of the products at as low as rs.11. We tried so many times but every time this rs.11 thing is always sold out. One of Bidya's friends got so tired of this trick of theirs that she called on the number given on their website and inquired, "how come the product you label at Rs.11 is always sold out? No matter how many times i check this website i am always a few seconds late to make my big buy? Well the answer was not very enlightening. How can they say- hey girl that is the hook we use to get people like you to log on to our website.
Anyway we will keep on trying to buy something at Rs.11. let’s see if Fashion and You will make that happen. But as i always say nothing can kill a girl's love for shopping not even some deceiving tricks buy friggning websites

Ah- I'm a MOM Now

It has been pretty long since i have not written to you dear blog. I m sorry for keeping my life secret from you;you know I am happy to be a mom, most of the times, but you know it is little difficult to get used to run around someone all the time try to understand what my child wants when her vocabulary is limited to DADA . Plus i don’t have right on a minute of my time anymore :(. it is difficult but at the same time there is a great satisfying feeling in raising someone who is a part of me. So the love is unconditional. I know it sounds like cliché but unconditional love gives greatest satisfaction and pleasure better than having a shot of ecstasy (no i have never tried it)


All in all my decision of having a child so early in our marriage, while my husband wanted to wait for another four years, was not that wrong. i am not like this. don’t you? :D. But as you are about to know i have become a mom now (mixed feelings). So i was busy looking after my little one. She is almost eleven months old and already a handful. phewwww. anyway i am going to be regular again going to share my feelings, happiness, vent my anger here and little bit of gossiping as usual.

wow..i've completed 29 weeks

It’s great feeling that I have completed 29 weeks just 11 more weeks to go. At times I used to feel that I am going to be pregnant for eternity. But now as I have completed 2/3 of the time; I’m cheerful.

Baby has been moving and kicking a lot. Sometimes it feels funny how something inside your bump keeps moving… it’s little creepy too. It makes me think about all those movies where some evil thing gets inside your skin and starts moving. But, I know, I am being ridiculous. It is my baby inside me and can’t wait to see her.

Pregnancy at 23rd week and all that

I have not been able to write for a long time, because I was busy working and coping with early stages of pregnancy. But now I have complete 5 months and planning to take a sabbatical from next month. Therefore, now I will have plenty for time for my self.

Well pregnancy at six months: I feel good, no more mood swigs or nausea. But yes, now- a-days I have this unbearable itchiness from neck down till stomach. It is so agonizing that I wake up at night and start scratching like a dog. My doctor has recommended Lotus coco butter moisturizer but it’s of no help. I have been applying all type of oils such as coconut, olive, almond but nothing seems to work. I have tried applying different talcum powder also but as I said nothing works.

But, surprisingly, from yesterday onwards (till 12:54 today) i am not having this irritating itching problem. I have used some prickly heat talcum. I wish it works as I’m tired of behaving like an animal.

Apart from itching everything is perfect. The baby has started kicking and I have been playing Mozart for her. As I have read somewhere that yet-to-be born babies love Mozart. But I tell you, I was damn difficult to find a Mozart CD in Delhi. We looked in Connaught place, South Ex and finally got just one CD in Anasal Plaza, PlaneM. Anyway, my baby is so far not reacting to any music; however we are hopeful that she soon will.

My Tiny Bragger

I had got my ultrasound done at 12 weeks. The baby was so tiny back then, some two inches long. She was floating like a fish in the water. We, my husband and I, watched her for two minutes and during those minutes she did so many tricks. It was, as if, she new her parents are watching her so she should show off her skills :).

We saw her stretching, crossing legs, and then she put her tiny hand on her knee but after a while she turned her back on us. May be she got bored of all this :).

Now I am excitingly looking forwarded to see her in next ultrasound. I am sure she will be a lot bigger and would know lot more stuff to show off:).
