got a baaaad throat problem.... been coughing all day/night... such a horrid feeling :(

basically the last couple of days have been blah.. nothing exciting happening. yeah, it hasn't rained in two days, so thats a major plus point...

oh yeah... one big bit of news i got yesterday was that my mama is running the chicago marathon.. he's been training for the past 4 months... and he's almost 50!!! made me realise that i need to get off my butt and also get fit.. if he can do it at that age, hell, i shud be able to do it at half his age... so as of this morning, training has begun... wasn;t too great today coz of the constant cough but i'm sure it will get better... the cough and my stamina ;)

my wedding date draws closer and its scaring the daylights out of me... not coz my wife - in - waiting is bad or anything... infact, shes amazing... its just that the added responsibility is a lil over whelming and i tend to wonder how i will be able to manage it all. goto get so many things done b4 the wedding... lets hope it all goes smooth.. INSHALLAH!!!

anyways.. time to get back to work.. more later...

back to the week with some serious monday blues.... got up this morning with my throth hurting like crazy... was coughing bad and it just made me NOT look forward to the coming week even more!!! but anyways, life does move on and so did i...

time for a flashback right now... to yeaterday, my weekend.. my supposed sunday. got off to a good start coz i went to the mandir at alandi... paid my respects ( read as maska) to god and headed home only to be stuck in a major jam which took me bout 45 mins to get out of.. damn these roads... but i had my music playin and the a/c running.. so it wasn;t all that bad :P .. chilled out the afternoon and then went out in the evening for a bit. actually, we were planning on watching mangal pandey at the club, but it was so damn crowded... we just canned the plan. the rest, well, just did nothing but hard core velapanti...

got to work at ten this morning.. gonna be here till atleast 8... eeks... what a FUN life i have... but some good things happening so no complaints i guess...

goto start going for a walk from tomo... goto get into shape... but its soooo hard to get out of the blanket first thing in the morning... and i'm someone who can sleep for days at an end.. so for me it;s a herculian task... i try all sorts of things... keep an alarm far away from the bed so i HAVE to get up to shut the damn thing off... so now ur thinking... problem solved!!! nope.. here's what normally happens .. a) i keep sleeping despite the constant ringing every 5 mins... b) i get up.. switch the damn thing off, and go right back to bed.. :) .. well, new day tomo.. hope i get up.

i read a really nice quote at the end of an email a friend sent... it goes something like this... "love... like you've never been hurt before.. coz only then do u truly love with all ur heart" .. something to think bout.. something to follow... don't u think??

helllooooooooooooooo again... guess how many people actually read my blog?? NONE!! hahaha.... not that i expected anyone to... :P

saturday evening is finally here and i'm thrilled... why? coz i get to chill out tonight and sleep till late tomorrow. believe u me i need the rest... i really look forward to the weekends.. just chill out, watch a movie... do basically nothing constructive.. :)

i wasn't in this good a mood this morning though... i was reading the paper and guess what? they're gonna be cutting the power for 2-3 hrs everyday again!!god damn!! i mean, earlier it was being done coz of low rains.. and now.. after we've had killer rains, the excuse they're giving is energy conservation!!! what a load of bull crap. i mean, if u need to conserve power, don;t leave the street lights on thru the day... don't let people steal power... dont give free power to farmers who are possibly the most cash rich to be able to pay for their power use!!! arrrrrrgggggghhhhh ... well.. anyways.. thats just the way it is....

u know, in times of need, very few people do stand by u. i'm blessed to have a few friends who do stand by me. one of them helped me out big time today.. and though i know he may never read this.. is still want him to know i'm very grateful and hope i can return the kindness someday. who it is? well.. the person knows who he is.. and thats all that matters.

and now.. to wrap things up on a good note... here's a joke...


A guy was stranded on a desert island with Heidi Klum. Initially, he played it cool, not making any moves on her for several weeks.Finally, he asked her if they could start a physical relationship, so as to attend to each other’s needs. Heidi was game, and a very nice sexual relationship began.
After several months, the guy approached Heidi and said, “I have a problem…It’s kind of a guy thing, but I need to ask you a favor.” Heidi replied, “Okay,” to which he asked, “Can I borrow your eyebrow pencil?”Heidi looked at him in confusion, but obliged.The guy then asked, “Do you mind if I use the eyebrow pencil to draw a mustache on you?” Heidi was growing worried, but again obliged, so the guy drew a mustache on her.Then the guy said, “Can you wear some of my clothes? I need for you to look more like a man.”
Heidi was becoming disappointed at this point, but hesitantly put on his clothes.Finally, the guy said to Heidi, “Do you mind if I call you Phil?” Heidi had now become very dejected, and said “No, I guess not, you can call me Phil.”So, the guy reached out and grabbed Heidi by the arms and shouted “Phil, you won’t believe who I have been sleeping with!”

mwahahahahahahahahahahaa.... i guess guys have to kiss n tell... but hey.. if it wer heidi klum.. wouldn;t u shout if off the rooftops???

anyways... i'm outa here... have a greta weekend all...
