Left Over Really???

Today I was reading news paper I found something really interesting. Actually kinda funny in an annoying way. Of all the marital status we have like spinster, bachelor, married, divorced, widow/er and our new age status like single, committed, engaged, complicated etc there is this new marital status called "Left Over" .

Yup "Left Over" you heard it right... China has come up with something which is a terrible way of describing a single women above the age of 27. It called "Sheng nu" Or "Left Over".  Seriously!!!. The Chinese government has a definition of the term also . Sheng Nu are the women who are highly educated , earns a high income and they have high I .Q level. They are good looking,  however  they have high expectation or demands when choosing their spouses. Yup right!  I guess there is no other disgusting way of calling a single women like that. Fortunately or unfortunately I fall in that category.

Just Rambling!

Last week

Last week had been quite a busy week. Actually march is quite an exciting month in our family . We have two big occasions to celebrate Birthday's of two very special and important people in my life. One being  the person who gave birth to me  and other being my lil angel who makes my  life special from the time she is born. Yes B day of my sweet mom and my lil sis..Even though we tried celebrating my Mom's B day from so many years, She likes to keep it simple and quiet.  My sister's B day falls just after 3 days of my mom's.So we have a double celebrations.

With good friendship comes great responsibility

We meet someone sometimes and we connect so well, you feel  that we have been friends for life. Even though we don't  get to meet or talk to them on daily basis but still in your heart you are connected. Mutual admiration, love and care is what that keeps this friendship going.. Even though  we are separated by distance there is this amazing bond which makes that friendship priceless. I am thankful to God that he blessed me with such amazing and darling friends who not only love me but make me feel special .Ahem! Before people cry on speech on friendship I better control , I don't want to get senti here.

How much is too much & How much is not much

Continuing with Valentines Friendship day. As I told you I received a lot of calls on that day which continued on 15th and 16th as well. On 14th I received a call from my friend with whom I almost lost touch from years . We had our normal conversation .Later in our conversation he told me that he got married and was sorry for not inviting  and informing me. I like a lady showed utmost modesty and forgave him for his dreadful mistake and continued catching up. Later on that day I told my sisters about the call  and  about  the marriage and stuff the 1st thing they asked was who is the girl? Is it a Love marriage or Arranged ? etc etc..  I blinked  for a while, tried to recollect my conversation with him  but I don't remember asking anything like that. I remember congratulating him that's it. Next day when my other friend called ( lets call her Ms V she lives in US)  (BTW who keeps in touch on a regular basis) I told her about the call and even she asked similar questions .. that made me realize that I am not inquisitive at all leave alone inquisitive I don't even ask general questions.

Valentines or Friendship Day just got confused

Hello Everybody!

I was missing a lot of action on blog world and I have a lot to catch up. So many blogs to visit so many post to read. Actually a tragedy struck ! Wait wait wait before I make people feel bad for me and end up getting consoling comments.. I want to tell you that my PC (PC is not piggy chops  its personal computer)crashed . Now a days I suck at humor, my last post was supposed to be funny  however I conveyed a totally opposite emotion . So just being careful. . Actually PC  crash is defiantly very tragic for a person who spends almost her 18 hours on PC .Consoling comments are welcome..  

After a week long separation from my blog what do I see....... New Followers.. Wohoooo ! Welcome and Thank you for following me . Hope I wont bore u much  : D

4 things I would go back and change

Regret is too big of a word I thought I would never use in my life. Because I believe that what ever happens is only for our good and at a later point of life we would realize and be grateful for it. But today a thought struck me after picking up my snaps (alliance wale ) from the studio. I don't understand whats the funda behind this stupid professional I mean  the "studio photographs" typical standing like a stone, as if we live in some 1960's. I bet they would have had a better way to find alliance.I  hate or should I say detest even the thought of it.. But after the endless arguments with my dad and emotional blackmail.I gave up. Phew!! I thought arrange marriages were not that bad.. But after going through all this so called nautanki (drama) I regret to choose arranged marriage... Phew !!

 If only God gives me a chance to go back and change few things, to be precise 4 things in my life I think I would not be facing this day and this drama....

Aloo Methi

 

Thank You God for another year...

January almost came to an end... And got to tell you it was quite an eventful month.. This month is special and I love it for various reason.. One obvious reason is my birthday is in January... Yayyyyy ! :D

Keeping up with my blogger friends...

January is the most busiest month of the year.. Its quite busy as expected but unexpected health  twist is taking a toll on my schedule. I have been traveling quite a lot in this year. And I have another two trips scheduled for the next 2 weeks to come. Added to the misery cold waves are making my health unpredictable.Due to my busy schedule and my sickness I was not able to read most of the blogs written by blogger friends on time.. So one fine day when I had time I sat and I was reading post after post, visiting blog after blog and commenting on them .. For a second it looked as if I am back in college preparing for my examination and comments area is my examination paper.

The grown up monkey's

When we were kids , around 7 years and odd I remember  dad dressing us up at night with sweaters and monkey caps  (the cute ones) to bed not only that he used to tuck us all in proper woolen blankets. We all used to sleep cozy in a huge king sized bed  with mom and dad (Definitely the best days of life. Now I cant even imagine all of us in the same bed). Anyways dad used to make sure that not even an inch is left uncovered, because if one of the kids fell sick rest of the 3 will just follow... Even after such care when dad used to get up in the middle of the night to check on us, we used to kick off the blanket throw away the cap and remove the sweater.. So my dad decided to get us men wala monkey caps like this one (pic below) which was tough to get rid off ..

Resolution???
