And I know he is the best



For any kid their first friend or playmate is definitely their sibling. A person’s childhood is not complete without a sibling. Well my first friend and playmate is also my sibling: My elder brother. He is just one and half year older than me but somehow I feel he has seen the world far better than me. We have grown up together but I didn’t realize when he became the advisor and perfectionist in the family. My mother believes that everything he does is correct, dad proudly tells everyone about his academic results, relatives and family friends tell their kids to be like my brother and of course I proudly tell everyone how well he handles his life.

My brother and I are worlds apart. He is a maths genius and yours truly can hardly survive doing maths for few hours. For him every penny matters and for me every penny is easy to spend (I must say this habit has improved now). He enjoys sweating out the calories while yours truly enjoy consuming those calories. I look forward to sleep and laze at home while he looks forward to try out new activities. Already 9 of his marathon medals are on the display at home while yours truly is yet to run her first marathon. Well this list goes on: ) and yea I can never be like him.

Well it’s true that time files and now it’s time for him to leave us again. Twelve years back mom and I had to leave him in India and shift to Singapore with Dad. Five years back he joined us and the bonding between us has taken a new meaning. He was there to correct me when I went wrong; he encouraged me when I did well in studies and work, he shared his interests and got me motivated to take up some. He has guided the family and took care of us in difficult times. He was the hero behind the scenes for my wedding. Everything went perfectly under his care.  

Didn’t realize how five years have passed with him. Now that I am left with last few days before he shifts to US, I wish I can buy time so that I can spend more memorable moments with him. I can’t imagine how the family will manage without him. Mom told me that nothing is going to be the same without him around and I agree with her. Definitely I will miss him badly than I imagined.  Never knew staying away from a family member will be this difficult.

Every Raksha bandan festival is a memorable day with him and I know I won’t have such memorable moments for the next two years atleast. I dedicate this post to my lovely brother for this year’s Raksha bandan and I must say he has done all his duties as a brother. :)

Yes people may have an elder brother but only I have a brother like him :) Love you lots bhaiya. Stay happy always. Have fun in US and explore the world. I will miss you badly. Time to use Skype to communicate!











One of my favourite picture with my brother.

Today I shall write about two songs that are running in my mind right now. 


Beautiful song.Lovely music.One of the reason for liking this song is also because of the location. Look how amazing India is!...Kudos to AR Rahman.

Ten day challenge-Day 8(3 films)

I love to watch films but prefer regional films more than english. I watch only selective english movies but love all the animated movies. I wonder how people stand all that  voilence in the english movies.  

It’s hard to list down top 3 movies!...



1. P.S I love you. A very sweet and emotional movie. Love the storyline.


2. Telugu movie Godavari. I have seen this movie number of times (lost count). I love the songs and the locations shown in the movie.

3. Of course bollywood actor Hrithik’s Kaho Na Pyaar Hai will be part of this list. Fallen in love with the songs and his dance. My all time favourite since my school days.

Ten day challenge-Day 7(4 books)

Me and books are poles apart. So this post is extremely difficult for me. I may not even mention 4 books. Yes I am that bad in reading. The only time I read lot of books was in school days because of my english teacher who forced us to use new words in english essays! I remember cursing her during my often trips to library. She was so strict that we need to write down 10 new words every week and use it in the essays.



I don’t know why but I prefer Indian authors compared to others. I am not being racist here but I somehow feel some attachment to Indian authors. So in that list I love chetan bhagat’s 2 states and five point someone. I read few more books but I don’t remember the names!. Sorry I am really that hopeless when it comes to books.


Would love to read Preeti Shenoy’s two books. Maybe that will be next in my list.

This post is incomplete but this is the best I could do :)

Ten day challenge-Day 6(5 Food)

It’s all about food today. A perfect post on a Sunday. I eat a lot totally opposite to what I look. I love eating but I am very health conscious. So lets get down to the list :)




1. Definitely chocolates will be first in the list especially Ferrero Rocher. This is my all time favorite. Its heaven wrapped in a small package :).While I am eating chocolates I don't think of anything and after eating I think of nothing but the exercise I have to do to remove the fats. Well that's me :)

2. Nothing beats mom’s cooking. Love the simple dhal dish she cooks. Dhal with hot rice and pickle is the best combination. It’s bliss


3. Ice milo. I have mentioned it in the previous post also. The only drink that comes into my mind every day.


4. I am against fast food. It’s purely unhealthy and not something I want as part of my daily meal but KFC once in few months is still acceptable.


5. Idli (south Indian breakfast). My bro name it as deadly patient’s breakfast :). According to me It is the healthiest breakfast in Indian cuisine.

The next post is going to be extremely hard!.How can I write about 4 books!oh god...

Ten day challenge-Day 5(6 Places)

I always relate and remember people with places. We might forget people but not the places we went with them.



1. Hyderabad. This place automatically counts in. Everything is beautiful in this city. This city holds my entire childhood memories. Love this city!


2. Home is the best place for me. I love weekends so that I can be at home with my family. Even though I don’t do anything it doesn’t matter as long as I am at home!


3. Sometimes I prefer to be left alone. All alone in my room.


4. I love some places in Singapore. Especially my college and East Coast Park. Have lot of good memories with my close friends. If I ever leave this country I would definitely miss these places.


5. Pasiris park in Singapore. It’s calm and peaceful. Went there only twice but would love to go there often. One memorable event in this place was to celebrate my close friend’s 21st birthday.


6. Kullu manali in India. I have not seen this place yet but something in me tell me that it will be heaven.

Day 4! 7 wants. I have lot of wishes.I wish it was not restricted to 7!



1. I want to visit Newzealand very soon. This has been in my wish list for the past 10 years or more ever since I knew bollywood start Hrithik’s first movie Kaho na pyaar hai being shot in NZ. It’s a lovely place. Hopefully this will be fulfilled by next year atleast.

Ten day challenge-Day 3 (8 Fears)

Its day 3!!! 8 fears. This is going to be tough.


1. For some reason I am worried that I have to stop working at some stage of my life. I can’t stay at home for too long. Despite of hating the routine life of waking up early, going to work, stressing myself with the office project deadlines, I love it. Sounds weird but haven’t you heard of “I love you but I hate you” :P Same logic



2. I am not ready to be away from my family. I know all those logics that girl has to leave her family after marriage and etc but if I am given a chance I wouldn’t want to do that. Actually the thought of it nowadays scares me :(


3. Definitely have fear for heights but I love rides and theme park games so I hide this fear within me


4. How can I forget my fear for dogs! I can’t stand them even from far. Sorry if I offended dog lovers but for me a big no for dogs!


5. I always remind myself that I can't and won't drive a car. I have fear for car driving. Will try to get over it but Singapore's expensive driving classes are not helping me to get over this fear.


6. After the langkawi incident I have fear for parasailing. I don't want to go through the phyical and mental pain of fracture all over again.

 7. Despite of being an Information technology student I have a fear for programming languages. People say it’s based on logic but I for me it’s not human language. My weakest subjects in college were always programming modules.


8. No one like losing friends including me. I have lost some good friends in life.They walked off for no reason so no regerts from my side. I am happy with the current friends in my life and wouldn't want to lose them at any cost especially my best friend.

Ten day challenge-Day 2 (Nine Loves)

This 9 loves are definitely not in order.

1. My parents and brother comes first in my life. No one will ever replace them. My day is not complete without a short chitchat with my brother.


 
2. I love my job. This is my first job and I am enjoying every bit of it. My current job has transformed me to a better and matured person. Right now it is making me feel complete.


3. He irritates me most of the time and he is totally opposite of me but still my life is incomplete without him. Well that’s V :)


4. Bowling is the only game that I am ready to play anytime. I started playing this game when I was in college and have lot of good memories. Now I rarely play this game because I don’t have a good company to play.


5. My good friend Sai. He has been my friend for the past 14yrs and yet nothing has changed between us. We are geographically far apart and meet up once every few years but our friendship is still strong. Many friends came into my life and left but only he proved me that friendship can and will always stay strong if you are true to it. He is a true friend.

 
6. I love ice milo. I love it so much that I can have it every day; especially Mac Donald’s ice milo is heaven in Singapore’s hot weather.


7. I love to print out pictures and decorate them in frames and creative picture albums. I love this habit and I make it a point to give unique picture gifts to my close friends. I truly believe pictures hold lifetime memories.

8. I love collecting bags, shoes and accessories. I will never say no to any new collection :) Well a typical girl in this matter

9. Love collecting teddy bears and pooh. If I am given a chance I would continue the collection given my mother doesn’t complain about the lack of space. : )
