Lately I have been dreading to drive on Chennai Roads. Why? 2 reasons:
Reason 1: Bad roads - All Thanks to the Rain Gods! Our Singara Chennai turned into an under developed town in 3 days! The city's bad infrastructure and careless maintenance was completely evident during the rains and this time we got leave from Work not due to Cyclone, but due to bad / non-existent roads! Ironic!
Reason 2: TRAFFIC!! Am not sure if any of you have realised, but Chennai traffic is growing by the day. Earlier, there was a meaning to Peak traffic hours. Now, mid-day during a weekend has peak traffic! There is always a Jam at S.R.P, Guindy, Ashok Pillar, T Nagar and where not! Even the prompt and up-to-date traffic updates on the Radio have lost their importance; there is a jam everywhere every day! I really hope Chennai is not on its way in becoming Bangalore! - Well not in all senses, but you get the point, right?
I feel extremely stupid in ignoring my own blog for so long. This blog has given me the hope that I can after all "Write" :) I may not be the best writer but I can at least make sense to myself ;) So what has kept me away from this blog for so long? Lots of reasons :)
1. Work - All work and no blogging makes Sakina a dumb girl :( I have been genuinely busy with the new happenings at work and have found very little time to come here and pen a few words
2. My sister - Yes Mallu, All because of you :P My sister was here for couple of months and whatever time I got was spent on her. Don't worry babe I enjoyed every moment spent with you :)
3. No words - Seriously, I have been struggling to write something decent out here. There have been so many times when I have started to write something and then deleted the entire post in a jiffy!
4. New Venture - I shouldn't blame my new venture at all for this, but I have to mention what I am busy doing besides work, right? I recently started writing on my friend's website www.chennaiwithin.com. I haven't written much there, but I am sure I can contribute lot more going forward :)
5. Vishnu - My beloved better half! I don't feel like staring at my laptop and writing something when I have the option to glare at his monitor, pull his hair, close his mailbox, paint his nails (I did that only once on his feet) and disturb him while he is busy working ;)
6. Motivation - I kept feeling that nobody cares about my blog, or reading my blog. Then I knocked myself on the head and said "What the heck Sak? You never started blogging because somebody cared to read! You started blogging cos you wanted to!"
Hope I don't go back to hibernation and feel stupid again.. I want to write and I will :)
This song means so much! its like a Hindi version of "If there is a will there is a way!". The song has been running on my play list for 2 weeks now and I am still not over it :) Here are the words and the video of the song for you :)
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein kitni hai tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein apni hai tarkeebein
Satrangi sapne hai, atrangi tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein kitni hai tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein apni hai tarkeebein
Satrangi sapne hai, atrangi tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein, tarkeebein, tarkeebein
Sir pe maalish ke jaise hain mansoobe har dil ke
Ulje baalon se leke raaste hain manzil ke
Jaibon mein rakh le yaara, kanghi hai tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein kitni hai tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein apni hai tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein, tarkeebein
Hum kal se kal niptenge, jo hoga dekh lenge
Hum tas se mas na honge jo hoga dekh lenge
Thande pade jo haunsle sek lenge (sek lenge)
Ho ho chadte suraj ko chooke sek lenge
Ho tension vension kya hai bas maathey pe bal hote hain
Beparwah muskano se hi masle hal hote hain
Aazma le aazma le, changi hai tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein kitni hai tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein apni hai tarkeebein
Satrangi sapne hai, atrangi tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein, tarkeebein, tarkeebein
Satrangi sapne hai, atrangi tarkeebein
Bachpan se gyaan sunte hai, matt samjho life is easy
Itni bhi kya hai jaldi, thoda sa take it easy
Maana future se ummeedein toh lagi hain
Ho kyon na jiyen jo aaj mein zindagi hai
Ho mushkil ke dhabbon ko jam ke mehnat se dho lenge
Kamjoshi kaisi bhaiya hum saare nal kholenge
Aazma le aazma le tanki hai tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein kitni hai tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein apni hai tarkeebein
Satrangi sapne hai, atrangi tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein kitni hai tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein apni hai tarkeebein
Tarkeebein, tarkeebein
