Anxiously waiting for it to rain..

My name translates into "Rain Bearing Clouds". Apparantly , there is as whole poetry describing "Meghna" in kalidas's masterpiece Shakuntalam. Even when I am April born, my parents felt the touch of rain, the happiness one feels when one inhales the fresh scent of nature as it pours those first rain drops..And I guess, that's why my parents named me Meghna.

I love rains. I love dark dense clouds, the thunder and even lightening and the rainbow after.. Monsoon is about to hit Mumbai in 3 days and the weather has changed. The clouds have returned to cover my head  and I feel engulfed in their moist, soft embrace. I can't wait it to rain..
I can't wait to wear my shorts and rubber slippers and walk the street without my umbrella, I can't wait to get the best roasted corn on cob from the sidewalks of mumbai and cherish it with cutting tea from the dingy tea-stall.. And I wanna lean on my balcony, playing with rain, singing out loud my favorite rain songs and being every bit the quintessential Bollywood filmy heroine in the comfort of my own home.



So, God if you are reading my Blog, please make it rain soon.. Little Me wanna play!

Eagerly waiting,

M

It took me 30+ years to be this AWESOME!

So today is the youngest I will ever be in my life because come tomorrow and another year will be added to my Age.  This thought revealed some not so happy emotions from that hidden corner in my mind (or heart! Can’t make one from the other ). Am I getting old? Hair colour are not just fashion anymore. They are here to stay! I can’t help but look closely around my eyes, to find those lines. Are they wrinkles or just lines due to excessive smiling? And what about that much hyped body clock? Since I am going to be another feet up in my 30s scale, is it time to make most of the limited egg supply in my ovaries? Why do comments like, “you don’t look a day older than 24 make me want to hug and dance ? I didn’t even care how I looked when I was 24! Am I entering the time when metabolism will go downhill and I may no longer remain that skinny girl, other girls were jealous off? Should I start dressing up more responsibly now and let go of my half a dozen hot pants and 2...

I have been happy. I have been busy. But I have been missing you. It's amazing how many days have passed since I last posted on my blog. Not fair, and not real. Anyway, lots have happened in my life in the last 3 months. Got married, moved to a new country, set up my home, started cooking and even started consulting before I join a firm full time next year. So much happened, so many words got lost before they could be typed on this keyboard. Nevertheless, never too late. I am working on a Job Analysis project. Part of it is defining the job or position of employees. As I was doing my work it occured that why has definition been so important. As a kid no subject went without the much necessary, "Define this and Define that". How numbers on the report card soared by defining someone else's point of view of a thing/concept verbatim. Weird but, atleast someone took the trouble of defining something so we could mug and puke in our answer paper. Then another th...

God made friends to bring smile to your face and God made Girl-Friends to bring a loud naughty laugh to your heart! A lot happened in the last few weeks. For starters, I got engaged!!! Yay!! And the wedding is next week.. OMG!! OMG!! Okay..but that 's for another blog..what happened last night is something I am dying to preserve in the memory of my blog soonest. My best friend Omu, threw me a surprise Bachelorette Bash!! This woman with the rest of the girl gang ensured that the evening was well planned , filled with naughty, kinky, fun games, simulations, music, food and of course moments. I have been keeping busy with all the wedding preparations, almost transforming into a "going crazy bride to be" with a never ending checklist, things to do, over shooting budgets issues, pimple and a chipped nails and just then my besties bestowed their love in such sweet and sexy form. The night was amazing with 4 free spirited girls- a dj, a banker, 2 HR professionals...
