Vineet

27th october: evening:

we purchased diya,hutlee,puja stuffs from H-Block market. we purchased fancy lights from khadar
market. this was the first time in my life that i purchased these stuffs. walking down the road i cud
feel that its diwali time. vihal prepared amazi9 chicken in the nyt for d dinner. I hope "surender" extends his holiday for sum more tym 'nd' let us explore new possibilities every day :)

28th october: morning:

My job was to clean the Kitchen. I got up early (was it?) 8 AM. Ankit and vishal had to clean the
balcony. We have one of the best balcony in sarita vihar. they (ankit nd vishal) acted smartly and hired kurawala to do the cleaning for them. balcony looked sexy after the wash. we cleaned drawing and our bed-rooms. we moved the sofa, chair and tables to balcony. sitting arrangement
was done.

28th october: noon:

Vishal wants to buy pathan suit and that too in black colour. Zia came to help him. we went to batla
house to buy a pathan suit for vishal. only white suit was available. vishal was disappointed and then we decided to some shopping. H-block market: accessing ATM for the 8th time in last 2 days:)
My god....phool ki maala..was so expensive...35 rupees for some 45 inches......anyways..we had to..so we bought some to decorate our entry gate...while coming back home, we dropped in our
local market to buy a big diya,candles....we fought over purchasing crackers...left this for evening...

@ home:

Let's take some rest..but where is the time...so we took some energy boosters :) we decorated our entry gate with phool-mala. Now was the time to setup fancy lights in the main balcony and the smaller one. (vishal prepared chawal-daal for lunch. we had a fight over subji..so only daal-chaawal)..decoration was done...itsss...4:30 PM....so many things to do....so we moved out again for purchasing final list of items...P1 was energy booster...delhi had a dry day so we went to faridabad border....got it....cumming back..zia and I went to H block market: deepak color lab to purchase crackers: purchased....rockets,anaars,cracker-ladi and phoolzharis....don't ask about the budget....I thought vishal and Ankit would kill me for this...I also bought 2 more fancy lights..Imraan also joined us...

28th october: Evening:

Time to prepare diyas and set batti in it. I took up the job. I placed batti in diyas. no one told me that the upper part of batti has to be rolled over so that it can burn quickly :) Ankit and vishal are in the kitchen: preparing kheer...he he....time to take bath..we dressed up smartly :)...now waiting for our friend Ankit2 (mr. pandit) to come and set things for laxmi-ganesh puja and for puja. Kheer is ready with kaaju,kishmis....wow!!!....Ankit2 and Mr dutta finally came...we set up things for puja..it turned out to be a good puja...its video recorded :) punditji sang bhajans..we tried our best to sing along....
we lighted all diyas and candles...after aarti, we placed diyas in every part of house,in balcony and in front of the house. looks gr8!!









we burnt phoolzharis in the balcony. we were jumping like small kids. smile on our faces...18 till i die :)



we all moved to balcony with snacks, soft drinks and energy boosters.....it was the time to play cards...so we played dummy satta games..no actual money involved...we loved it like anything... time to prepare puri and subji....we all came back to drawing room...music is on....vishal cutting vegetables and ankit rolling atta for puri....d card game was still on with energy boosters....



we all moved into kitchen.....puri tal rahi hai...sabji ban rahi hai....ankit2 helped vishal and ankit....dinner is ready....now its time for crackers...

we all came on roof...one by one we launched rockets in the sky....with the help of King Kobra :)
d whistling sound of rockets was damn cool....

time for anaars and laddis....we all came to the main road in-front of aggarwal sweets...11 PM...
we lighted laddis and threw on the road....the sound of crackers..phatt..phattak..he he..was cool..
vishal was doing -------processing on road-side...dutaa babu threw laddis below his legs...vishal...running like...dog is after him...we had a mast time....time for anaars...it was d show time....buring anaars in hand...its dangerous..but we are daredevils :)

Now its time for the dinner...wow!!!! it is delicious....ankit and vishal are great cooks...no doubt....hats off to them!!!! Kheer was very tasty...we finished everything... :)

Time to say goodbye to guests.....Bye Bye.....amazi9 diwali night......but somewhere in our hearts
we were feeling the pain of not being with our family on diwali....but we all came together and enjoyed....thank you guys.....keep rocki9..

Do Fall in Love :)

life is not always a roller coaster ride. How many times you think you can fall in love? Every relationship has its phases. There is nothing called this is right and this is wrong. You grow with every new partner in your life. Life is about moving on and on. You can't decide and then fall in love. It just happens. There are different modes of Love. Every mode has its way and its amazing. I don't think you choose people to fall in love. There should not be any restrictions. Let it go because this is the special moment in your life. You should not have any regrets..no guilty feelings. This is the best moment that you are going through. Feel it because it will not last forever. When you see into each other's eyes...when you wait impatiently to meet each other...when a kiss re-energizes you...walking on the street with hand in hand....that touch......tell me.....don't you like it......you feel that you are on seventh heaven....you want to spend the entire life looking into each other's eyes.....whatever time you spend with each other is not enough....you capture the smile and you keep on re-winding it ....and you love it..while driving you stop..did you see your partner....is he/she right dere....uff....nopes...u laugh at yourself and move ahead...tell me don't you feel awesome when you play the same romantic song again and again.....you smile without reasons....every time your phone rings....you think its your partner....when you talk to each other..you copy and repeat what the other is saying...you laugh.....everything you do is straight from your heart. Keep your hand on your heart and take a deep breathe...you will feel it...Love happens without reasons....without any expectations..there is no pressure to meet deadlines....complete milestones...nothing to win..nothing to loose...its above all this....just think...it makes you forget the pressure of life..you are always relaxed...people who care for you are happy to see this change in you..

TAKE A BREAK............................................................................THINK AGAIN..................................

Why fall in love when you can have all the fun of life without going through the emotional cycle and most important..side effects of love....after effects of love.....

It depends on the person you are.You can love someone without any commitment...when there is no commitment....after effects will not give you sleepless nights...

SO,

DO FALL IN LOVE - MODE WILL BE DECIDED BY THE PERSON YOU ARE. You can fall and rise quickly to fall again :)
