Love is in the A I R

Lunch hour in my office is something that everyone looks forward to(definitely not because of the canteen food). It is entirely for the gossip sessions we like to have and of course to catch up with the latest trends. Surprisingly everything was different today.

Me: Hey pay day is coming soon! Any sales going on currently?
Colleague M (concentrating on her hand phone wallpaper): I am so confused what to buy for my boyfriend. It’s our second year together.

Me (turning the attention to one more colleague): Hey have you checked out the new flower decorations in the office for the CNY (Chinese New Year). Shall we go and capture some pictures?
Colleague B (busy eating): hmmmm
Colleague S (joins in without any invitation): oh no don’t remind me of the flowers. They will be so expensive this week. I wish I can buy it now and stock it up (grins widely)


Me: sheesh…..guys!!!Are your listening?

Everyone still lost in their own world (nod their heads)


Everyone seemed to be preoccupied with the Valentine’s Day thoughts. Single females are worried if their boyfriends will propose to them and married ones are wondering if they have given the hint to their partners about their latest desired items.



All this valentine’s day hangama brought back my first experience with feb 14th
I had the sweetest memories for my first valentine's day. Anita, me and azaad planned valentine’s day outing after college. We landed in our favourite swensens outlet to have delicious ice creams while we spend the rest of the evening laughing and having good time. We surprised each other with gifts .So actually my first valentine’s day gift is from my besties!Oh man I miss my college days. Love you guys. Sadly after that year friends got attached (no its good news and I am always happy for them) and I never had the chance to plan one more valentine’s day with them.


According to me feb 14th is meant for our loved ones not necessarily limited to boyfriend and girlfriend. Moreover if love is true why choose only feb 14th to show it?Every day is a loving day for people in love. I find it ridiculous to see people buying a $100 bouquet on feb14th while you can get it for less than $30 on a non -Valentine’s Day.



Finally as all my colleagues were back to the real world we decided to go back to our work world. As we were walking back to the office, a sale’s girl was distributing discount pamphlets for a bouquet shop(you will find them everywhere until this week). One of my male colleagues eagerly stopped and asked the lady for the discount details



Me: O didn’t know you are married? She is very lucky.You care so much for her

Colleague R: Why would I get this if I am married? I have a gf

Me (looks around to get a rod or stick but turns and smiles at him innocently)





Advance happy Valentines Day to one and all. Spread the love to everyone. Enjoy your special day.


Miss you guys!

Jadoo ki SMILE

Back to my blog after a long break with confused and pissed mind. Typing this as “quit playing games with my heart” by backstreet boys is being played in my office radio. Appropriate song for this post I guess.

Why do we care for a people who don’t care for us and why do we tend to get worried by people who exist in our life just to make our life more complicated? Why doesn’t heart and mind get along well? Well only mind thinks. The stupidest dum heart refuses to think. It only FEELS every moment of our life.

I always wondered if prioritizing a person in our life is worth the effort but now I am much clearer about it. Nothing is worth the value of your self-respect. We let others control our happiness and sadness. We compromise for the most serious issues in life despite of knowing that we are not wrong. We hang on to the hope that everything will be alright and later we realize that nothing will be same ever again. We assume there is only a dead end to our destination while all we need is to break out from that bloody blind folded mind and come across a new path for our journey.

As I walked into the office today with a disturb-me-not expression the cleaner aunty brightly greeted me with a wonderful good morning. Of course I greeted her back from the bottom of my heart but I started to think about what happened. The aunt is around 60yrs old, she does a very hard job and moreover it’s 8.30am in the morning. What made her look so refreshing and enthusiastic? I greet her everyday but today she took the initiative to do that and it really touched my heart.
Sometimes all we need is a stranger to bring out the smile within us. I wish someone can give me a “Jadoo ki jhappi” now. Maybe that will help.



I miss my four friends...Guys you are missed by me...

Guess I need some yoga classes...?????It’s time I control my temper. My poor nails are totally dead by their hot tempered owner.

Female OR Male?

I came out of the washroom cubicle and an unfamiliar face was staring at me.


It’s a guy!.


Damn I quickly ran out of the washroom to check the sign board.


Na it’s not gent’s washroom.... urghhh..idiotic guy


NOOO . It’s neither ladies washroom!! double Urghh!


Checked the sign board clearly again!


It’s gent’s and ladies washroom!!!!triple urghhhhhhh!!


Well this happens only in PSB academy and it definitely happens only in Singapore!!!. Gross


Ever since that shocking encounter I stopped using those combined gender washroom and made sure I checked the board twice before I enter.


PS: Before you all goes into weird imagination. Let me clearly say something. The washroom is cubicle based. So no weird or shocking sites encountered.

ha you may ask how come I didn't see the sign board before going in.Ha here comes the tricky part. As I was looking for a washroom I saw a girl coming out of the washroom so naturally thought it is ladies!


Well only have one word to describe everything. GROSS!
