short silent conversations

at the bus stop 2day, it was sitting on a bench beside the stop. it was scared to jump down. it sniffed a little, peeped down and finally landed on the ground. it wasn't very healthy i wud say, looked thinner than healthy. though m not an expert at it, i could make out i was scared and looking for help. i was sitting under the shade at the stop. it approached me and tried to tell me something in its language. it said, "meeeyaaaw" i looked at it. i was shiverring a little. it was only the two of us at the stop. i knew i had to do something. i lent out my hand. it sniffed and licked it. i smiled. it felt secured. i gently rubbed by its neck and back. it liked to be pampered. i took my hand back and it instantly said a mew, and i continued pampering. we both were happy. i dont remember myself touching a cat on the road before. it was nice. after a while, i sat back. it settled near me. i was looking at the end of the road for trace of the bus. as i glanced back, the kitten was on the road trying to cross it. my heart sank. few vehicles gathered around. i ran to bring it back. got it on the side and guided it near a fence. a car driver said, leave her on the other side of the fence. but i was too scared to pick it up. i have never picked up kittens or puppies (i had once picked a lil rabbit and cudnt handle it well). but i had to make sure the kitten was safe. the fence were crossed wires and i thought the kitten can make it across through the gap. by that time my bus arrived and i got on it. till two next stops i felt the guilt to not have been able to lift it and put it in a secured place. i prayed it must have crossed the fence. i hope it did. life finds survival.

i slept too early last night, around 9pm i guess! so i was up at 5. but i was lazying in the bed till 6.30 when the alarm started shouting. i got up with a back pain. i think the driving did the thing. i drove almost 300 kms to and fro. yes, i was super tired. m feeling fresh now. since its too sunny, i dont want to go to college 2day. i'll just sit and paint at home. some visuals from yesterday are still hovering in my head. the blackness, the drive... i also saw three road hit dogs on the way.

what the heck!

i was in a good mood 2day. and actually normal unlike the times i come home and hide in my room.
but the happiness dint last for long.

isaac was home. me, him and mum were talking about college and the crowd. now, its quite an established fact that my college sucks. we talked about ghasu and all the other hopeless creatures who only know to sit and warm up their seats. then we got into the whole partiality thing. like some students get all the privileges and special treatment and ofcourse good marks. somehow, i have totally given up on college. like officially officially given up! i dont bother to participate in any college activities like i did for the last 2 years.

m not an enthu in college anymore. the subjects i am interested in dont have good faculties, and 3d is not my cup of tea. m more into print media. thats probably why isaac is doing my 3d asgnt. its like a returning favour kinda thing. i did his flash and dreamweaver asgnts in 2nd year. i think we settled for a good barter :)

november rain

..hm..lovely song - guns and roses.
as the title suggests, it rained 2day. i was working late. it was 7.30 and finally we packed up. and in the darkest blues of the evening as we walked out, we heard lightnings and thunders! wow! in no time the rain showers hit us. obviously, i wasn't carrying a raincoat. so i had this chance of getting wet and biking in that climate. it was windy....and very cool. on the bike, all i thot of was , what if i was on a hill at this time or at a sea shore.. or how about the lovely times me and mohini wud go out in the rain, or how yash wud take me out and be glued to the camera to take pictures of the lightning instead of actually being with me.. :)

i was all drenched by the time i reached home. i was super hungry. hadnt had anything after lunch and a cutting chai at 3.30. dad got this new stove that works on coal and 2day had to be the day to experiment! sadly, after letting the dal cook in that twice, it hadnt! mum had to put it in the cooker and make it the usual way. dad bhi na! he just gets creative and excited about eco-friendly living. like how hes used solar energy at manavli..thats awesome! sometimes it works, but sometimes(like the coal stove-like thingy)..!

keep up the spirit dad! i mean we are already facing nature, getting back at us after all that mankind has done to it mercilessly. the unseasonal rain, the sudden changes of climate is all a proof of it. so i always appreciate eco-friendly approach. i hope more ppl take it seriously.
go green dah-lings!!! oh that reminds me of some wall paintings in pune that read- see green, see life. in a city that breathes in pollution, its like a 'must read' and a 'must think about it' situation.

blissful climate

i am reluctant to get out from under my blanket early morning... how wish the whole day was like one winter dawn! and guess what....today was! not exactly dawn..but there was no sun!
i reached college a lil late 2day, all wrapped in sweater, socks, and scraf. lecture had already begun. we had texturing class 2day..it was fine..the prof has actually got better after the vacs. hm..looks like he did some homework! at the end, he declared he wanted the submission on Wednesday, YES!!! 2 more days :)
left college and came home for lunch. cudnt believe i was wearing a sweater at noon! it was breezy too.. and the best part...it began drizzling! mild water drops on cold skin feel so wow!
walked to the studio after lunch. worked till 5.30 and coming back home was a good brisk walk since mum called up on the way and i had to rush. so burnt a lot of calories 2day! ah, feels good.

max is max enough!

ok. so m working really hard on the book illustrations. things are going good. eating more fruits than eating out or junk. walking everyday for about an hour. so reducing weight is going the right way. patiently working at a slim fit. isaac teases i shud be size 0 like kareena did! i only give him the 'shut up and let me be' look. dad is home for 2 days. we talk! also me n sidd have found out yet another common interest- table tennis! so, we play tt when m back from work.

and in the middle of all this gaga going...comes 3d max! duh, submission on monday... i havent started on my assignment. i know, sucks! m affraid i'd fail if i dont start working on it. aur sir ke saath toh apni jamti nahi. hes anyways asking me sarcastically- so, have u started? and i only smile.

no, serioulsy, i dont feel like turning to 3d now. i love 2d. but i 'have to' slog for 3d max, i cant be picky, its the syllabus! rest other lectures are toh totally cool...teachers dont turn up! mohini is in her ' i dont care a damn what u guys are upto, i only wanna focus on my work' phase. m more with sumit and onkar these days. and ofcourse, mr.newton! hes gonna learn 3d from smone and teach me. hope it goes well and hope i end up with something worthy to submit till monday.
days are going so fast..its mid november! i mean, its like close to year end! once i want to just sit and think about how the year has passed.. days, events, phases, changes, lessons, experiences....wow..aww..year end!?

take a chill pill

me n onkar caught up yesterday, and made plans for sketching at swargate. just the 2 of us in pune, rest all are vacationing in their home towns.
as decided we met there at 8. it was a good change for me. i traveled by pmt after a long time! it was fun. after all the eating and chilling for 4 days of diwali, i needed to get active.
we sketched for a good 2 hours.. i was supposed to get to the studio by 11. so got another pmt to raja ram bridge and walked from there. returned the vcd first and then went ahead to the studio. lot of corrections to be done before the next time sir decides to turn up. but 2day, i was sneezing more than working..! yes, one day in cold talegaon and my nose is running. but i managed to work as much as i cud. we had lunch 2gether 2day and ma'm had some garnishing tips for me! hehe.. garnishing comes easier to artists than adding taste to food!
i wanted the next weekend off, so i cud finally go to bombay. that was approved when i said i wud work 2moro-thats sunday! duty calls baby! but i have fun..sometimes it gets too much but chalta hai..! i was sleepy by 3. thankfully, the chai wala came on time. had a refreshing chai and back to sneezing...or working...or what ever...duh! i was so not into one thing 2day. ma'm left at 4. i was working till 5. anything is better than getting bored at home.
finally left for home..i was so hungry.....but i am determined not to eat out now. cant believe i had all those sweets and oily things... forcibly ofcourse! :) sab itne pyar se khilaenge toh koi kaise mana kare! :(( loook at my cheeks... gotten circular by atleast 2-3 mm!
a long walk home was accompanied by light breezes, green trees and nice nice thoughts..and i think i was also talking to myself in between..silly girl..! ..it feels good to talk to oneself...very relaxing! " feeling blue, feeling blue..my heart says cant be, cant be true......
