THOSE DAYS!

Today it was the "Annual Sports Day". I loved it. I got up early, finished all my work & got set to be in Nehru Stadium on time. Pearl, Emerald, Ruby & Sapphire were in full force. March past,the first event.....,remembered the practise & the hours of hard work. Those times when we stayed back just to make sure our house wins. Putting our best food forward to make sure each one is there to represent the house!
What pride! Every heat for the track & field events in full attendance to see that the house each one represents wins. What patriotism!Loved the jealousy when it came to victory of my house.

Today the score board showed Emerald in the lead!I was thrilled! Every event had a representative from Emerald. I didn't know them personally but the "green T-shirt" was all I cheered for. The cheering , the clapping and the laughter that came with victory.... the shocks and the disappointment that came with defeat....God I knew it all once & today I felt it all over again!Each time there was a race...the adrelanin would go pumping.

Emerald won & took the trophy... What a proud moment!!

Only this time I was cheering for the house my kids belonged to. Thank you Chiraag & Dhruv you took me back to my sports day. One of the blessings of having kids...
YOU RELIVE YOUR CHILDHOOD THROUGH THEM.

Two Movies that made my weekend

Priety & Abhishek were the best part of KANK with ofcourse Amitabh playing a Cassanova to the hilt. A mundane role Preity gave it her "realistic classy" touch & Abhishek was a charmer. The lead pair however disappointed. Shah rukh's reactions & expressions were so predictable. Rani after "Black" was boring. She wasn't maybe convinced herself 'coz her role semed so much of a torture even for her to act it out ,let alone us seeing her! Over all a let down by Karan Johar who had a good first half but didn't know how to carry on in the second. Maybe his affection for Shahrukh didn't permit him to show the "great SRK" as a villian!

CARS



A fantastistic movie especially for adults who are so caught up in the daily grind of the rat race that we are missing out on some beautiful moments of life. Sad but true. The message is so strong & timely. "Life is after all not about winning always." True,right?
An understanding of this simple philosophy will sure make us a happier and satisfied lot. We sure need to chill once in a while & look around ,maybe just maybe we'll become a more satisfied & happier lot. We live only once so why not have moments for ourselves too in that? A great movie & do watch it for it will subtly tell you what YOU are missing out!!!
