Love is in the air

For the past few days I have been watching quite a bit of romantic movies. I always loved to watch those and own lots of movies of that genre. The list keeps growing day by day. If I ever start explaining people why I like it and say out exactly how it feels, I can surely bet half the people I tell this will c me with kinda frowning reaction in their face. Sometime I feel whats so bad or disgusting abt how I feel. I like the way the two actors act out the love for each other. Not all romantic movies take my attention, but some really do and those are which I own. The best part is whenever I am really low, these are movies which can cheer me back. I just need entertainment, something that makes me happy at the end of the show. Oh common! isn't it why they make movies, to make someone enjoy the time they are watching it.

I keep feeling the same and will always. So in this blog, I would like to mention few movies which are all time favorite and some which I own or wanting to own soon. This is a blog which I would keep updating as and when I watch a movie and just love it.

P.S I have posted 3 of my Favorite Love songs.

English Translation of my recent fav song

Just felt like translating Kabhi Kabhi Aditi in English:

Kabhi kabhi Aditi zindagi mein yunhi koi apna lagta hai
Sometimes in life, Aditi, just like that someone seems like your own
Kabhi kabhi woh bichhad jaaye to ek sapna lagta hai
Sometimes Aditi, when they are separated, it seems like a dream
Aise mein koi kaise apne aansuon ko behne se roke?
In such, how can anyone stop their tears from flowing
Aur kaise koi soch le everything’s gonna be okay?
And how can someone think everything’s going to be okay

Kabhi kabhi to lage zindagi mein rahi na khushi aur na mazaa
Sometimes it seems there is no happiness nor fun left in life
Kabhi kabhi to lage har din mushkil aur har pal ek sazaa
Sometimes it seems every day is difficult, every moment is a punishment
Aise mein koi kaise muskuraaye kaise hans de khush hoke?
In such, how can someone smile, or be happy and laugh
Aur kaise koi soch le everything’s gonna be okay?
And how can they think everything’s going to be okay

Soch zara jaan-e-jaan tujhko humein kitna chahte hain
Think dear, how much I/we care for you (He could mean I or We)
Rote hain hum bhi agar teri aankhon mein aansoo aate hain
If there are tears in your eyes, I/we cry too
Gaana to aata nahin hai magar phir bhi hum gaate hain
I/We don’t know how to sing, but yet I/we sing
Hey, Aditi.. Maan kabhi kabhi saare jahaan mein andhera hota hai
Hey Aditi, believe for a minute that there is darkness in the entire world
Lekin raat ke baad hi to savera hota hai
But it’s only after night that day comes

Kabhi kabhi Aditi zindagi mein yunhi koi apna lagta hai
Kabhi kabhi woh bichhad jaaye to ek sapna lagta hai

Hey, Aditi.. hans de, hans de, hans de, hans de, hans de.. Hans de tu zara
Hey Aditi, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh a little
Nahin to bas thoda, thoda, thoda, thoda, thoda.. Thoda muskura
Or else just give a little, little, little, little smile

Tu khush hai to lage ke jahan mein chhayee hai khushi
If you are happy, it seems the world is filled with happiness
Sooraj nikle baadalon se aur baante zindagi
The sun emerges from the clouds and spreads life
Sun to zara madhosh hawa tujhse kehne lagi
Listen, what the intoxicating wind is telling you
Ke Aditi woh jo bichhadte hain ek na ek din phir mil jaate hain
That Aditi, those who are separated, one day do meet again
Aditi jaane tu ya jaane naa phool phir khil jaate hain
Aditi, whether you know it or not, flowers do bloom again

Kabhi kabhi Aditi zindagi mein yunhi koi apna lagta hai
Kabhi kabhi woh bichhad jaaye to ek sapna lagta hai

Hey, Aditi.. hans de, hans de, hans de, hans de, hans de.. Hans Hans de tu zara..
Nahin to bas thoda, thoda, thoda, thoda, thoda.. Thoda muskura..

Happy moment

Today, July 24th, was a wonderful day. I had my own car. I dint have to depend on anyone for a drive. I could get up on my time and leave the time I want to without waiting on the road for a drive. It was a excellent feeling, I had decided when to leave, where to park for a month now and it was finally happening. As I planned I left at 7:45 am to office and I played wonderful music in my own car! Wow how it felt to own something and have a drive in it. It took my 20 mins to reach office to find out I should have been ther 5 mins early to have got a covered parking. So with the plan of coming back in lunch break and shifting my car into the covered parking, I left to my cabin. First thing I did was mail everyone in my team and lunch group abt the good news of me buying a car. I even thanked every1 for helping me out all these days especially Becky to have given me ride everyday. Within few minutes, I started getting replies from people congratulating me and asking me to show them my new four-legged dependent. I promised them, I would show them in the lunch break while I am shifting the car into the parking terrace. It was lunch break and I gave all my lunch break a small dessert treat to share my happiness, though people insisted in getting a bigger treat. So I promised them with an ice cream party sometime next week. With that happiness I took them to the parking terrace and showed them my sexy companion. They were all really happy for me and I could c the true happiness in each one of their eyes. They tease me a lot always but I always knew they liked me. In fact, all my friends are like that. Maybe its because of my character that no matter where I go I get teased a lot, but truth is I luv ppl liking me and teasing me coz I can take it sportively. So with this happiness, I went back to work and in no time it was already 5:15 pm and it was time for me to leave. Whoa! a day is already over. I then went to the parking terrace and drove my car back home. Reaching home, I kept the beauty in my garage. I will never forget this day in my life!

Hasde Tu Zara

Kabhi kabhi to lage zindagi mein rahi naa khushi aur naa mazaa.Kabhi kabhi to lage har din mushkil aur har pal ek sazaa.Aise mein koi kaise mushkuraye, kaise hasde khush hoke?Aur kaise koi soch de everything gonna be ok?- JTYJN






I have been listening to this song for 2 months now..I used to humm and listen and try to catch some lyrics by hearing but never got the perfect lines..and today finally I got time to look at its lyrics. Really wonderful lyrics..I finally got in the right words and now can sing without mistakes..just loved this particular stanza of the song..was very true and has happened many time in my life and I am sure in everyones life too..I have always loved the video since it was too cute for me..From now i am the fan of the lyrics too..With music I have no words, ARR rocks.I have always been his fan and continue to be ! The song is beautiful right from the moment the guitar strings mark the song's beginning. Rashid's voice is so perfect for Imraan! Genelia has always been an actress with cuteness. Over-all I like this song a lot and it's my recent favorite.

Ramya in Wonderland

Finally a hardworking week was over and I was going to go to LA with zero anticipation about how good Disneyland was coz' I never had time to even think about the weekend during my week. My mind was just overflowing with work I need to finish plus get the car deals done. with both of them getting done only couple of hours before I was leaving to airport, I really did not get time to browse about Disneyland. I assumed it was going to be so kiddish and was a place only for kids. But for me the whole motive for the trip was to meet my mama and family plus my my cuzins. For instance, it was 5 years since I met vinnu and 4 years since I met vivek. though it was only 2.5 years since I met mama and family I still wanted to see surya and lachu as I very well knew they would have grown drastically. With just this anticipation of meeting my relatives I left at 4pm to airport and it too 2.5 hrs for the flight to take off. With my friends ali and vivek being great photographers, I was so very inspired in photography. From the time ali got his D-SLR, he has taught so many photographic terms to me. Not stopping there he also put atleast 50% of his enthusiasm in photography inside me. With that, the frequent chats with vivek about photography and the way he takes pics and edits them..made me really serious in it. If not amazing in taking pics like them, i was atleast started and I think passed kinder garden level. Lot more to compete and complete but I am working on it. So all the while in flight I was just reading through my camera manual and got to know each and every feature of my camera...with my tiredness would have slept a bit but ali's RTFM sounded back to my ears..so I took my cam out and tried every feature they explained me by taking pics of my co- passengers..Oh yeh I forgot about the trip..sorry I have an habit of easily deviating from the topic..So yeh 3.5hrs completed pretty soon since I was totally occupied in flight and finally landed in LAx..and hey to my surprise vinnu's flight landed same time and his gate was pretty close to mine. I collected my baggage and since Vivek's was delayed by an hour [ had my BB 8820 with my GM software on it..helped me a lot in flight status..], we headed towards the rental bus stand and boarded enterprise rental bus and went to the rental agency..wow was so nice meeting vinnu after so many years..he was changed a lot. The enterprise guy later gave a mini van with 8 passenger capacity, buy vinnu and I found a better SUV which looked more muscular and nice..so we paid more and went for it. It was a 2008 Chrysler Aspen. Again my BB was put into use and we headed to LAX to get vivek and mama's family whom reached his terminal by then. Finally finding the terminal I just got down from my car and ran to mami and hugged her it was a long time...Lachu came running to me..she is 10 years younger to me but her thoughts were way matured than me..oh my god she was taller than me..i have known her since I was 10..she was like my very own sister..actually 1 person I could say who followed everything I did right from her childhood..to my surprise she still is like that. Suryaaaaaaaaaa my god he is over 6 " and very much well built..did not expect to c that..but it was funny when he often came and stood next to me just to irritate me saying how shorter I was when whole family was taller around me..We then left teh airport to our hotel. I shall continue the rest as a separate blog!

The saga ends!

With an exhausting week going on where in I had to get few tweaks done in order for my software to work for the big release along with the never ending driving saga which has been going on for ever, I had a trip to Anaheim to meet my uncle's family and my cuzins that weekend. It was the second weekend I am out of town. I was really tired and exhausted of running around every day doing something or the other. But to my relief I finally, I really mean it, finally had a good thing happening, got my car deal finalized..wow! what a feeling it was...calling car dealers for so many days and finding a civic finally. Though I did not get the lovely blue I opted for, I got a color pretty close to it...the sexy black...Since the fuel prices hiked up badly in recent days, there was a loooong wait on Hondas and Toyotas...but hey here I am ready to have my car any day! It was a wonderful feeling after a loong time..something that feels like finally conquered..coz u really do not wanna know the saga! So the day ended with a wonderful feeling and I was all ready for the weekend.

I really knew inside me that I needed rest and I was exhausted. But, again..its me...have I ever taken rest when it comes to friends, family and fun times! I was leaving the next day and I really dint bother to have a look what Disneyland had to offer me. I just needed some fun, some nice moments with my cuzins...I got my work done pretty quickly on Friday and closed the car deal with the dealer and the bank lady. With this excitement in heart, there I started on my second trip to Los Angeles.

Trip to my first home

It was three months since I came from Logan. I still remember the farewell in the airport. I missed that place badly as it was my first home in US of A. It taught me all kinds of things to live for. It gave me friends who could do anything for me at any point of time in life. It gave me the strength to handle life. It showed me different diversified people with different characteristics, likes, dislikes, mannerisms etc. Oh my god, I still remember those days when I could not stand on my own legs, having been secured always by family for every other small thing. I still remember the scary night I had the first day in Logan, all by myself wondering whether I made the right choice to leave my family away thousands of miles away. The scary thought of leaving all my friends behind and coming to a state which no one ever knew existed. I always knew I could make friends, but haven't made any staying all by myself in a new country. But look at what I am today, with so many people loving me, caring for me. So yes I am going back to Logan to see those people. I had a bonus too. Had my friend Margi getting married..and wow this was my first gujju wedding and I was all ready to wear the beautiful red saree amma had got for me. I was so much excited for this weekend for all most more than a month and its finally here. I had finished my work early since I was leaving from work directly to airport.

It was a 5 hr flight journey with a 1.5 hr stop over.I traveled thro 3 time zones already. I reached at 11:30 and it was already 12:30 my time back home..I was dead tired and sleepy but I knew I had my bestest friend coming to pick me up which made me awake and anticipate his arrival. I had to wait 1 more hour coz the highway construction as going on and he was late to airport. I literally crashed on the chairs there. But they came and i was back up again all energized and jumping cing friends after 3 wholeeeeee months...

We drove back to Logan and I reached there around 2 am which was my time 3 am but believe it or not I was all fresh :-) Had long conversation with friends and finally hit the bed coz there was a wedding to attend in 4 more hours...Got up at 7:30 and headed towards my friend tanu's place to get the gorgeous red saree over me...yeh yeh..i am bad in wearing a saree..so in a hr got dressed and went to the wedding hall..it was right in the university's alumni center...wow was so beautifully decorated..i just luved the place and arrangements. there was a big mantap and it was all white and red since margi's dress was white and red too..wow was good fun seeing every ritual, stealing groom's chappals from bride-side people and meeting friends who had come for wedding..even got new friends made .[.groom's friends from jersey.]...the evening went by ali forcing me to drive to bear lake all by myself for 40 miles...worst part here was that I had to drive a jeep..it was so huge and I was driving 40 miles in the canyons with cars zooming in the hair pin bends and hey I successfully reached the lake keeping my passengers safe and secure. We stood in the lake for an hour or so since we were just a bt late to rent the jet ski's we originally panned for..After yapping for an hour or so we headed for the famous raspberry shakes outlet but the truth is none of us have ever tried it..coz we all have our own favorites and i in particular am very choosy and I always go for strawberry-banana. I insisted I wasn't going to drive back thro bad curves in dark..so made ali drive back..hes pretty good driver and I have always felt safe with him..Yet another day was done..tht night I could not just sit any longer than reaching home..I just could not c nething else than my bed and went to sleep right away...

Next day was the plan to Lagoon, but i flopped it coz I just could not get up on time coz my whole body ached..but convinced my friends though I felt guilty I flopped the whole plan...but then if I had taken it I could not have come back and worked the next day..so had to make a decision considering how very weak I could get sometimes with low-sugar...but we caught up with good talks..had a wonderful lunch in Olive garden...had my favorite Torta di Chocolate...


We then headed right away to the airport for coming back...since the flight was delayed I not stop yapping and clicking pictures...before finally taking off..was a wonderful trip/..I think could I deserved it after 3 months of being alone...had good fun and there I was 2 am in the morning heading back home to go to office in 5 more hours...waiting for the next big weekend to meet my cuzins.
