wats wid my blog's background theme?

since my last 2 posts, i hav bn getting comments on my blog appearance ... so thot y not write abt it to clarify the whole thing ... i jus revamped my whole blog ..got bored of the way it looked and need to give it a new appearance jus like buying new clothes for oneself (ref: to me ).. so as i was looking for new themes online (internet shopping).. i found this one ... if u havnt noticed already, the background is actually jeans .. and me being a fashion student, thot it was very appropriate for my blog... also jeans r some thing which we take for granted.. we wear it literally everyday (exceptions r ppl who wrk ).. we dnt wash it for days (i remember my college days my friends wud hav competition on who wud wear the same jeans everyday wid out washing for the longest period of time ..yikes ) .... be it parties or classes or even casual fridays at work, it has become an integral part of our wardrobe .. tis is like the fashion tip for girls, u shud always hav a black dress and white shirt in ur wardrobe... i think they forgot to include basic blue jeans... i suppose u get the point ..coming back to wat i was saying, it seems an appropriate theme, atleast to me, kinda represent wat i do and wat i wear :) .. . i wud also like to mention tat i am in the process of updating the old blogs wid appropriate fonts and colors ...so plz be patient
.. while we r on the topic of jeans, i wud suggest u watch sisterhood of travelling pants 1&2... i do knw it cud be in the genre of chick flick, but it aint tat girly tooo... u shud understand the underlying meaning of friendship and how time can either brk or make a relationship.... and the whole story revolves arnd tis one pair of jeans which carries memories for the 4 girls ..
as i end tis post, i wud jus like to leave u wid tis thot - r jeans imp to u as much as they r to me? can ya live widout them?? and do u hav any memories attached to them???

A week to go!

Its jus one more week b4 this quarter ends ... time jus flew by ...Though i am excited about my xmas plans, i am waiting for this whole busy week to pass by like a wind.. then i wud hav a break of 10 days b4 i travel .. which would give me time to read and watch movie and SLP!!!

For now, it is jus wrk and more wrk . In admist of this, the one thing which caught my attention was the Mumbai Bomb Blasts...Some one put it right "it is like 9/11 of India" ... I cudn't believe that India was not so much prepared for such cases of emergencies .... I think they should learn some thing from the Hollywood and Bollywood movies.... in the english movies, a police wud come within seconds of a call, there r well armed esp the SWAT teams (reminds me of Ocean's 11 movie)... In Bollywood, it is a lil contrasting.. the police never comes in until the very end of the fight, just in time to make the reqd arrests ( the hero has taken care of all the 15-20 goons) ... and also wen they arrive, they come in huge number even though the situtation doesnt warrant so many. I think this incident is like a wake up call for India w.r.t. to its security ... Lets us hope and pray that such incidents are not repeated or atleast that we r prepapred for it .... God be with us. AMEN!!!

Back to Bloggin!

Its bn ages since I wrote a blog .. guess jus didnt find any motivation to write (been keepin busy too).. so wat hav i bn doing these past few months ...

~ moved from New York to Columbus *sniff*

~ joined PhD program :O (am suprised at myself too)

~ trying really hard to cope with work and classes and reading and more reading and even more writing papers *phew*

~ Following tv shows online - Gossip Girl, 90210, Family Guy, Project Runaway

~ watched cpl of good movies *grin* -Dostana, Pulp Fiction, Casablanca, Vaarnam Aayiram etc

~ Read cpl of novels - the Hindi Bindi Club, some random M&B *sheesh*

~ Reading Fountainhead and Brisngr *hmmm*


The one thought tat occured to me thouogh is whether I would be called jobless or vetti agn as I was gen referred to when I was in nyc workin.......as you mite already knw, I had a fixed schedule then, money to spend, tv shows to follow, plenty indian food (indian store a stone's throw distance), lot of slp, fone and internet , al in al lot of fun .... tis doesnt mean i am nt having fun at columbus.. but it isnt the same... more work, more friends around me (lacked tat in ny), variety of food (friends cooking), less money, no skyscrappers, too much football, scarlet and gray, student life :), slp amt stil the same :D .... but I just dont feel tat i am idle anytime .. i seem to doin some activity or the other here in columbus ( i was missing this in nyc) ....

Admist this busy schedule, I have decided to start writing again .. Hopefully will keep up wid resolution of mine .... till then, CIAO!!!

IPL

I thot IPL deserved a place in my blog due to the hype and fights and feelings of (city) patriotism it is creating among indians everywhere .. wel al of u knw abt the IPL ..and for the uninitiated it is the Indian Premier League.

lets go further on the reason y i wrote this post ... i am sure everyone of u might b supporting one team or the other which wud mostly b the team which representing the state u grew up or spent most of ur life ..if tats nt the case, u might b supporting a team as u might b having sentimental attachment to that states some way or the other (went to coll etc) .. wel there r exceptions jus like me ...

i grew up in hyd for some time ..my parents r settled there ...so i shud b rooting for hyderabad deccan chargers but then i am nt and i dnt feel like too .. for 8 yrs i lived in tn wid 4 of those yrs being in a coll in chennai (man .. i sure do miss those days) .... i love chennai and i consider myself one .. i knw more abt the places in chn than of hyd .... so tech i hav some attachment to the chennai superkings .. ... but here comes the twist in the story ... i am supporter of kolkata knight riders too.. u might wonder y .. nuthing to do wid the players but wid the sponsor himself .. their is sponsor is none other the SRK ... i love and adore him .. i am nt crzy enuf to worship or things like that but i like him and thus my support for his team ...

as the ipl is gng on .. i am jus hoping for chennai and kolkata to reach the finals :) . i jus dnt knw whom i wud support then but i wud b happy/sad either ways ..oh i almost forgot ...i havnt watched a single match of ipl yet .. i jus follow the news and and then start an arguement ( tho nt exactly a arguement) wid one of the supporters of another team for fun ..or they wud start bugging me as they knw my support is for kolkata ..

so for all those ppl who havnt yet started followin it .. do so ... it is a good way of intertacting wid guys ;) as they love to gloat abt their knowledge of cricket while u dream away-half listening abt SRK and his smile :P
