Maamis in Dilli...

Time to update you about our Maamis. Much to the delight and relief of our Mumbaiya Maami, after a lot of hue and cry caused by her in the Mumbai office, she has finally succeeded in coming right back to her own ‘ilaaka’(territory) Delhi. As soon as she landed in Delhi on the 1st of July, not just the typical heat/humidity in the afternoon welcomed her, but all the memories associated with her life in Delhi started rushing back to her. This literally made her feel dizzy and faint (well it was more because she didn’t eat anything since morning). So after a refreshing break of 5 days, when she joined office, she found out that once again she was as lost as ever amidst a new set of hyperactive people. However, this junta was more active in displaying its elocutionary communication skills (which is quite a dominant characteristic in any sales man/woman) rather than professional ethics. Somewhere she was relieved to feel the same warmth in people around her, to which she was quite used to for all these years, instead of the cold and formal behaviour of the Mumbai junta. Howsoever be the workplace, all she was concerned about was being with her family. Getting back home on time to be greeted by her parents’ affection alongwith all comforts and security one can ever get was something she was longing for. When it comes to meeting friends, Dilli Maami (DM, the name has to change from Mumbaiya Maami) is trying her level best to keep in touch with all. Right now her only ideal TP activity is to go for a movie, however, she is usually left without a movie partner. Currently, The Great Groom Hunt is also on for her. Amidst all the horror-scope matching, discussions on basic parameters to be met with parents and the prevailing uncertainty in this huge gamble of life, DM awaits the impossible - falling in love.
Bangaluru Maami (BM) is floating in her transitory romantic world and every now and then, keeps trying to get out of it. Whatever it be, the Maami bond is intact. The Maami meet happened recently at The Pacific Mall and we had the privilege of enjoying the company of VP (our IMT friend) as well. We had great fun knowing about our respective strange encounters with interesting guys. Who says "2 is a company, 3 is a crowd"? Hope the triad would be intact in future...

Maami Series - Something about the Kurta

Well, it has been quite some time since we ignored our dear Maamis. To provide you a status update, DM is on a Mama (Groom) hunt whereas SM is exploring the world of photography. DM is always filled with deep appreciation (to the extent of joining her fan club) for SM whenever SM tries her hand at such interesting domains. Nowadays SM is kept on her toes looking for a picturesque scene that could be captured in her Nikon/Canon to be interpreted as abstract or real piece of art. Some of her masterpieces have been the stray dogs of her colony, random clouds, thirsty birds, and dirty kids! In a recent telephonic conversation between both the Maamis (after a time gap of more than 2 weeks), they touched upon the usual topic of fashion, brand consciousness and dressing sense of today's generation (they obviously considered themselves as aliens!). Both of them took pride in recognizing the fact that somehow they identify themselves with Kurtas and that 70% of their wardrobe is full of th...

The Path I fear to tread...

There is a path I fear to tread. I know it would not lead me to my destination. But it is enticing me. I am divided into two schools of thought. One says, "listen to your heart", and the other says, "stay focussed on your goal". I am trying to help others come out of their gloom. But who will rescue me from this mire! I encounter unknown emotions and distorted personalities. I don't know how to deal with both. I feel lost in this new world. But I know I am strong enough to come out of this web...I am hopeful.

Being a girl...

Ever asked a girl how does it feel being of the female gender? Now you would say when I never asked a guy, what is so special being a girl? I would say, it wouldn't have been if the Indian society wouldn't been a male chauvinistic society. People say it is the weaker sex, the reason being that we are dependent on our male counterparts for leading our lives. Although it has been proved wrong by many bold females by challenging and going against the generally accepted rules and regulations for girls, there are still several areas, where the battle is still on. Now without getting into the details of "Equality for Women in society" issue, I would take the case of one my friends. Let me call her Ms. M. Now this girl, like all my friends, is a highly confused but simple and modest (to an extreme) girl. She hasn’t had a boyfriend in her 22 yr long life. But is now developing feelings for a guy on whom she first had a crush (is it called puppy love??). Ok..looks simple. But...
