it was 12 pm. i came home after attending a surprisingly interactive 3d lecture. i changed and left for work. had lunch on the way at gypsy. reached studio by 12.30. the curtains were closed 2day unlike everyday.
i stepped in to find one of the two dogs sleeping inside on the floor on a doormat stretching her legs upwards..wow! ma'm informed me that she'd spoken to a community that works for street dogs and they were coming to take the two dogs that we' had almost tamed. hence she'd managed to get blacky inside so that she doesn't not turn up when they come.. creamy(the white one, as the kids in the building have named) was missing tho. so when i came in, ma'm asked me to keep an eye on blacky so she'd try n rescue creamy. but as she walked out, blacky followed ...so she cudnt go. she asked another colleague from the neighbouring office to go look out.
we continued working... the maid came by then so we had to take a break. 2day she'd come with her 'three' daughters! they had lovely names which i dont remember. one of them was 'savera'.. yes. really nice and bright. so ma'm was chatting with the kids as blacky lay on her lap for some pampering.. it was cute. i shud have had the cam!
after the maid had cleaned the floor, we went back in. within 10 minutes, the girl who was supposed to look out for creamy came back all sweating and full of worry. she was panting..she said she'd found the pup lil ahead on the same lane. it was lying down..it wasnt moving...and it was not sleeping... it was 'dead'. our pup was dead. ma'm got off the chair and ran to see him. sir joined her. i was only keeping my fingers crossed. but they came back with a bad news. blacky was still inside. our landlord's daughter whos also fond of the pups, came down to hug blacky. the atmosphere was like we'd lost a family member. all were quiet.
we got back to work. i was thinking about this lovely bond between two very different forms of life. how our studio is full of harmony and love for nature. we work with pups in and around, kids playing in the compound visit us to catch up, we are surrounded by dense trees and fruit and flower plants... and we'r working on a project for children books...it feels great to be a part of it, all of it. i feel blessed. m learning so much about how every minutest of things is filled with life, its only up to us to realize and celebrate it. keep your eyes open, life is indeed beautiful..!

i hate afternoons!!!
its way too sunny to go out and land up with a head ache. cant even keep the eyes open. m bored at home. dint go to college either coz its as good as not functioning! continued working on the comic book. but then the room is so bright. theres light in every corner showing me a hell lot of things around me, distracting and confusing me as to what do to next..? my room in itself has become a heap of things complete and half done, nice and ugly, needful and useless...just occupying space in and out.
every afternoon draws my attention to all those lil things and its difficult to not feel restless and helpless. may it be a piece of incomplete art work or something that reminds me of things i dislike, or just the mess around. no wonder i prefer to keep the room dark at night. its very relaxing and peaceful and much better with only one light focusing on what u r doing at that moment and u get to choose and highlight what is prior or important over the other stuff. that makes it systematic and things start falling in place. may it be working on the drawings, or computer, or sleeping or listening to music...i can create just the required atmosphere at night , the most important asset being absence of extra light.
bright light is essential for only certain activities like photography or sketching and of course getting sun burns and red spots on the face..!

international bread day
8th October is the day. prasad, my cousin, pursuing a catering technology course called up to invite me for an exhibition of 'international bread day' at his college. amazed by the concept, i was looking forward to it.
i was home by 5. called up mohini for company. she agreed. prasad rang up again to inform harsha and raj wud also be there, so i asked mum to come along too. me and mum set out at 6. as i was half way thru, prasad msgd to bring the cam but it was too late and the traffic was horrible. at that time, i dint realize what i was gonna miss later! anyways, picked up mohini at corporation and headed to the college. i was driving and mum was sitting beside me. it was the worst of her experiences 2day.
the traffic was booming as time passed and i was trying my best to tackle the 'pune bikers'. at one point, there was a interlocked circle of vehicles and no driver was ready to back up. and idiots were only honking horns! mohini got so bugged.., she got out of the car, onto the road and trying to resolve the traffic! wow girl! in the mean while, the passengers from an auto rickshaw got off, shouting at the driver and accusing him of being a bad driver bla bla bla.. it was so funny!!!! the middle aged couple were yelling in there typical punekari lingo and thaska! the driver and some others surrounding the rickshaw (including us) began laughing..!!!!! haste haste, traffic clear hone laga...mohini directed me to reverse a lil and a did my fave acute turning thing! hehe.. as i turned in relief...boom! a huge bus in the front! but it cleared way soon and we reached college finally.
prasad guided us to the amphi theatre where the exhibition was displayed. the way to their was decorated with a theme of 'hansel and gretel'. there was a huge arch at the entranced with lots of biscuits and sweets studded in it just like the witch had to lure the two kids. i also noticed pieces of bread on the way...and that explained! there was a witch at the gate! the entry was a nice lil experience, i was smiling already...and ofcourse the tempting sweets had attempted to kill mohini..lol..!!
moved ahead to the bread display. i must say, i had never seen such a variety of breads at one time. there were breads from round the world. to my witness, culinary art was at its best. there were designs of deer, a chef, a harvest..all made out of bread! like we artists wud make from pop or clay or any sculpting material. it was beautiful!!!!!! thats where i missed my cybershot the most!!!! unable to resist myself from taking pictures, prasad arranged a friend's cam. but it was a canon and i wasnt very familiar with it, tho i took a few snaps.
next was a range of cakes! cakes ! cakes! awwww, mohini was dying...!! they had taken up a theme of a life span, from birth to retirement. so designs and flavours of the cakes were according to the stages. the icing on the first cake was the best. the cake was the bed of a baby with a quilt, and the delicate folds of that quilt were made in icing! so cool...!!!
and finally we turned to the desert section, mousse, gateau, and all sorts of sweety creamy colorful stuff (of which i cant remember the names)... this is pure art! we were spell bounded! yeah, theres a whole lot of difference between seeing photos of such food stuff and then seeing them in real so close! mohini was dead, completely!
and even tho i know all these things are a poison to me, i was totally into it. damn! it was so damn creative! i was amazed the way the colors of fruits and creams or whatever stuffs complimented each other to make a wonderful composition on the dish. theres so much to learn about colors from food!

the return of ghasu!
the 3d lecture was really good 2day. for a change, we actually followed what he taught, coz a. he was loud and b. we had a projector! tho a few ppl went to sleep, it was much better than what it used to be. it ended at 10.30 unlike the usual 9! which was like a milestone. he made a spaceship 2day..and completed it. and tho m not into 3d, i must say this is interesting.
feeling quite happy about it, as we were about to walk out, mr. ghasu came in. made us sit again. and made the most ridiculous announcement. he said he wont take class until at least half the class has submitted the comic book! now, is making a comic book like drawing circles and squares!! plus he shouted at us coz he thinks just coz no one has submitted it, no ones working on it. damn! i am. i showed him the story board. but ghasu is ghasu- a copy master. he tells me go search for good character references and copy them directly instead of making such scribbles on the story board...WTF! my characters are ready! i just need to incorporate them in the story board and finish the frames. every word he spoke was nothing but demoralising.
i thot i was stupid to show him the story board. going to college is like ruining the rest of your day, since the beginging of this semester, i dont remember a single day in college when i dint have an arguement with anyone. have i become hot headed and more straight forward or is it just a result of the politics (that we are supposed to digest)?

meeting the clients
i dint go to college 2day. was working on the story board at home. going good so far.
i called up anagha ma'm to inform her i'll be at the studio by 3. 2day i made up my mind to go walking. i realized, sitting at the studio in one place for like 6 hours isnt good for my body. so from now on, m gonna walk down. it took me 25 minutes to reach there. i was tired. as i walked in, i saw nilesh sir and archana ma'm already there. i dint know about that. we greeted each other and they asked me to take a seat.
they were viewing the book 2 draft (that i prepared). it was my first time to be there, but i wasnt really nervous. both of them are so funny. they keep joking about things and resolve issues if any with casual peppy discussions. i was comfortable with that approach by now. so it was one good experience. they left by 5 and i had a list of corrections to do. i was happy they liked my drawings and also that we cud understand each others' perspective. i had to redraw a few things but it was cool.
as i was drawing, amod sir walked in asking, 'whos shoe is this?' that was mine. the doggies were biting on it and had almost taken it away but amod sir scared them and got it back! i hurriedly got the shoes inside and continued working. it was 6.30 and time to go... i turned off the machine and piled up the papers and as i was about to wear my left shoe...i noticed that the doggies had broken the lace! nnnnnaaaaahhh...i was upset for an instant and imagined myself walking home in socks within that instant (that was quick!) but then i thot i cud make it work. they had chopped off a small piece. i removed that and adjusted the lace from the other end so i cud atleast tie it...and yay! it worked!
while i was walking back home, i met mum on the way. she was going to aaji's to see mama, whos back after an year. so i too joined her. met mama, hes still the same! he bought an apple ipod classic, 80 gb! cool. also had yummy misal there. had to walk back home. so overall, i walked a lil too much today and now i only dream of lying down!

the trip
as they say in marathi, 'naktichya lagnala 1760 karana' meaning, 1760 reasons for a bad looking girl's marriage.. same was our situation i wud say. pankaj was supposed to pick me up at prithvi at 5. we had booked a tavera. it was 5.15..he hadnt called. in a while, mohini called up saying, "ek problem zalay. the driver's mother expired last nite. pankaj is trying to get another driver...we'll be late' i thot of taking a quick nap that i needed. but no! she called up again at 5.45 and said, rush to swargate, we'r going by bus! ok. but another addition. now i had to pick up pankaj from paud phata.
i reached there at 6, he wasnt there yet and mohini was on flames. after some time he called me, 'arrey, rickshaw cha petrol samplay. dusri rickshaw milat nahiye. wel lagel.' great! he reached there by 6.15. we drifted to swargate, parked the bike at shruti's and walked to the bus stand. everyone met and the 'good morning, kya ho raha hai..bla bla..' session happened. the bus was at 6.30 but wasnt on time. it was 7 now. i needed some tea. so me and sahana went to a tapri to have it.
we joined back into the group to find out that abhijeet was making arrangements to rent another car! the car vendor said he'd get the car to swargate in 45 minutes. so we had a new plan! everone was hungry by now so we went to 'jijau upahar gruha' to have breakfast. had pohe and chai there. also read the newspaper. ashwathy was telling me stories of the two rats at their place and how bharti is a rat killer! ..and time flew...it was 8.30. the car arrived. we got ourselves on it quickly and started off. we drove to tilak road and the driver stopped there to fill his water bottles and have tea. we had began to lose patience now. if the plan 1 was taking place, we wud have been in alibaug by 9. and we were still at tilak road. lol.
anyways, cutting the story short, we reached alibaug at 12 and went straight to have lunch. done with that, we were at nagaon at 1.30. everyone was sleepy. so we lied down for a while and then played cards till 4.
time to go to the beach!! all were ready. nagaon beach as i thot was not too crowded, infact there were hardly 3-4 timepass groups like us, thats all. anyways, we went into the water and no one was left dry! shruti was scared of getting wet(dont know how why what??) she wasnt affraid of water but of getting wet. so she was standing away from us, but then we dragged her. played some babyish games in the water till it was time to come out. not to forget, lot of shell collecting and 'wow, see this, see that' thingys on the way. i was super bored. coz these things have become such a routine to me, i have grown up playing in water on the beaches. i dont want to go on writing about the day, coz i dint really enjoy but hated most of it.
what i learnt 2day!?
-sahana and ashwathy are sweet.
-mohini gels very well with pankaj.
-pankaj and abhijeet are wanna bes and i'd never hang out with them. (now that we know each other, m gonna have to smile everytime i see them at college. duh!)
-shruti is 'all time trying to drag attention' kid and will always be.
-i felt out of place. i realized i can not be with them for long.
-i have never missed my friends so much ever!
m not making any stupid compromises that involve the ppl i dont like, just for mohini's sake and i'll let her know that.

good and/or bad
mums b'day 2day. so i obviously woke up to the phone rings! i walked out of the room, made my coffee, walked back to the room and waited for the next 15 mins for mum to finish the call so i cud wish her! finally i did. but throughout the morning, she was so busy attending the calls that i joked saying, "leave that to me, i'll take msgs from everyone. u get to cooking." and we laughed!
2day's deal was, i cook veg. kolhapuri. i know, big joke! but, i thot, chalo, mum ke liye.. so i bunked the 1st lecture and sat cutting vegetables in the balcony. it was 9 by then. shreya kaku dropped by to wish mum. i got cake and pattices for breakfast from lucky bakery. after that, i continued chopping carrots. shreya was laughing... anyways, finished the carrots, then the french beans and then took the cauliflower. its was dirty, lot of brown thingys needed to be cleaned..and it was starting to get boring..and finally, just as anyone wud expect- i gave up. i shouted, "mum, m not doing this!!! "cooking is just ot my thing! and there goes the super flop!
mohini called and i rushed to college only to see the faces i hate and feel the feeling i dont want to. 2moros plan is almost fixed. we will go to alibaug. i hate it. but m going, coz no one knows the roads. i dont mingle with that bunch, but then i cant go around being like this, missing my friends who are not with me. so i thot why not give it a try! and m happy the famous and proudy trio of our class is not coming. god, hate to even look into their eyes!
came home for lunch. yes, gadgils were there! too much yaar, i finished my plate and locked myself into the room. all they keep talking about is yash this, yash that, his school, his food, his cute things bla bla bla... like theres no other topic in the family. i dont know why, i was feeling sick. i lied down for about an hour, woke up with a head ache. but i had to go to the studio. somehow, made up my mind, splashed water on my face, looked up and smiled into the mirror and off to work. what fun, no electricity there! wow, now i had to draw and draw till the load shedding was done. did some drawings for book 3. had tea.it was way toooo sweet 2day! how i hate sugar in hot beverages!!! finally, it was time for machines to work. finished the book 2 draft on page maker.
came home at 6. dad was home by then. said hi to him and back to my shell. conversations between me and him are absolute monosyllables! anyways, went shopping with him and mum, to by her a b'day gift, and as i expected, we landed in a jewellery shop. she was browsing through designs, dad was glued to his phone and i was chocked! i hate ornaments! they are only meant to be displayed and nothing more! as all this was happening, mohini called. i happily walked out of the shop. but, twist! she said shruti was upset coz her 1600 worth goggle was stolen from her bike and that she wont come to the trip coz of that! o boy! is this some reason?? m not going to work 2moro and missing a meeting with the content writer of our book, mohini postponed her appointment with someone and this silly reason of shruti's just made me go mad! i told mohini and myself to chill and thot shruti wud be normal by morning when the goggle effect wud fade!
ah! but it faded soon.got a call at 10 from mohini. its all set. we'll take off at 5 2moro! and i must sleep now. m no way used to getting up at 4. i will miss 'my' friends, i know already. why r all my friends away, jayu keeps calling me to bombay..isaac wud be here by 1oth....sumit is at latur..pranjali is at b'lore to visit her sister....mohini easily goes into anyone and suju is stuck here with the not-so-her-type bunch...wow!
