Cheers to sisterhood!

As i decided the earlier day, it was now time to act. Eyes were starined already, but will power can do wonders in such cases..I completed 2 asgnts by 1am, the anatomy asgnt was really long, took me 5 A3 sheets, but i kinda enjoyed drawing feet in the end! Next task was to take a bath coz i dint wana waste time in the morning. so i bathed at 2am, packed my bag n off to bed!
26 th feb'08 : What a day!
6 am..the alarm rang..i was up already! Took a wash and got dressed up. as i was wearing the socks, i heard the sound of our car! Aji told me aba was downstaris, starting the car to drive me to swargate..inspite of me telling him not to. But aba is aba, doesnt listen to anyone. I cud have taken a share rick frm raja ram , but no!
Anyways, i picked up the asgnts and ran downstairs..ofcourse i drove! aba's speed is speedless!
Reached shruti's place at 6.30, woke her up..handed the asgnts and went to swargate right away..had to catch a bus at 7. So i got off the car n aba took over the wheel. There i was at wsargate, a good 20 mins b4 time! Hence i thot i'd sketch for a while..i sketched..n sketched..n
glanced at my watch: 7.21!!!!!! CRAP!!! the bus had left WITHOUT ME!!!!!!!! naaaaaaaa......
And at that very moment aba had to call..kya timing hai!!! i was so pissed and he goes 'bus milali ka?!' aaaaaaaaaaaaehhhhhhhhhhh.....i had missed a direct bus to alibaug. Which meant i had to go to panvel first n change the bus....shit...lot of time that is! Anyways, i was back to conscience, n enquired abt the next bus to panvel. It was at 7.30, thank god! So i climbed in and my journey started...!! The bus left me at a junction on the highway..so now i was supposed to find my way to the bus stand! gr8! It was abt 1km frm there. i took a share rick. reached panvel stand at 10.15 am and alibaug bus was boarded! Sahi...finally! I was smiling now...i cud smell the air..
I enjoyed the bus ride to ' karle khinda'. I did some designs in the bus for my next asgnt, i cudnt afforrd to lose time! I got down at karle khinda junction and our site engineer was there to pick me up, we dont get a rick so often out there! hence mum had sent him..
I was home by 12.. entered the gate, eagerly walked in and ashu saw me! Surprise!!!!!
Her face lit up and so did mine!!! she ran to me with open arms..and gave me a Big Tight hug!! God, life wud be so hopeless without sisters!!! we were only looking at each other and talking through slightly waterey eyes. mum came in. We proceeded to have lunch!
Me n ashu talked so much...abt our present lives, our childhood, the promise we'd made to each other b4 she went to Australia, I had told her never to give up singing n she'd told me never to give up drawing! Well, drawing was just a hobby then, n now its more than life!
But ashu has lost touch with music..i was so dissappointed..art shud always be nourished!
So she made another promise now, saying that she wud restart when shes back to india after a fw yrs!! i was happy..really happy.
we had a great afternoon. We placed the shells in the water place at the entrance of our house, took a walk around the place, chatted on the swing, cleaned and displayed some of my old pot ceramic works...she is so proud for her creative sis..n m proud of my only dearest tai!
All days fun...it was time to part. we packed n started off at 4.30pm. Rohit drove us in our Tata ACE! we 2 were standing behind, singing, ahing and ooohing..as if going for a 'Ganpati Visarjan' as ashu said..lol. aai n ashu got off at chaul phata to go to mumbai while i went ahead to alibaug bus stand. Got a bus at 5, this time a direct one! I felt amazing as i thot of the memorable times of the day!!! Wow! now the air was fresher and cooler. Enjoyed my journey back, also realised i can think of good designing concepts while travelling. may be coz my mind is as fresh as the trees going by and the thoughts run to me like the breeze hiting on my face. Reached pune at 9.30pm. Took a share rick frm swargate and walked home frm raja ram!
What a wonderful day i had spent! i wish i go out on such expeditions atleast once a week!

Multitasking..

Thats what sumit says, when m into a pickle which i often am! This time its 2moroz submission, 1. Mandar sir's comic strip, 2. Vivek sir's anatomy assignment, and on the other hand, Going to alibaug to meet ashu whos leaving for brisbane on 29th feb n thats the only chance to meet her! how i wish i cud be everywhere and do everything at one time! hm..kya kare, one option i see is that, i complete the asgnts by 2nite, (which has to b a miracle) n leave them with mohini or shruti to submit 2moro in college while m on my way to alibaug..hm..not bad...not feasible either!! ok plan no. 2 i chuck the college stuff out of my mind for a day and start packing..! now thats like suju..hey, i cud also leave for mumbai rt now and travel with them to alibaug 2moro!
nah! i go with option no.1, i dont wanna take a 'panga' with profs n spoil my image! hehe..

m loving it..!

A sketching project is up! My topic is 'common man- a traveller' it isnt given to me, i have chosen it coz i dont wanna take a leap sketching sportspersons or dancers or any lifestyle..i wanna keep it simple and casual. M a beginner and wanna grow gradually the right way..
We've to explore various mediums too. I have done pencil b4, now m more into black pens and lately, its water colour! I spend atleast 2 hours sketching outdoor and make sure i give it my best shot. M really excited about this project...m loving it!

ghasugiri

college mein sir ka bhashan..! but this time it hit me real hard..he said a few students from class who won some intercollege trophies blow their own trumpets and neglecting college...gosh! i felt like hes talking about me not mentioning my name tho! Such a weirdo, if we students werent out there, who wud know our college??!! and as far as basking is concerned, he can go take a hike! C'mon man, i've been attending ur ghise-peete lectures for months, n also given all asgnts on time..still u say such baseless things in front of the class..what kinda eg r u trying to set huh? and r we supposed to hide the trophies we've won??!!
I hate to think abt his stupid daily doses of ghasugiri..talks too much!
Anyways, me n sumit came up with some good ideas for the newspaper and that was the best part of the day..now m gonna work out some more options coz m 'done' with the amul asgnt of mr.ghasu... i forgive u man! some things never change!

sketching at swargate

i was ready to go to college when it dawned upon me that my class is at 9. so i had 1 hr in hand and as a dedicated internet buff i signed into gtalk. The very next monemt yash greeted me 'good morning' twice! sweet guy who is lost these days..yeah he was typing weird and sending me wrong links..!! i had to cut the chat and leave for college..since theres no bus at 8.30, i had to walk down to raja ram bridge, take a share auto to swargate n wait for a 'market yard' bus. Waiting is never a problem, coz m armed with papers and pens all the time. swargate is actually the best place to sketch people. rapid sketches are fun, i love to scribble and let my hand flow on the paper, but details are too much for me, then i tend to lose proportion! anyways, i got the bus and reached college a good 30 mins late only to find out, sir was on a leave!!! none of my frnz had turned up either, why dint they inform me?! Who cares! i was peacefully working on my treking website in the lab, somnath sir is really helpful..! Hes one a very few profs who wud actually go out of their way to help out students..our difficulty is like his own, hes more of a friend! We r glad, we have him.

m late!

The day kick started at 7 (very late!). My room was darker than usual so i dint realise what time it was. Anyways, so i had to rush..and as i was about to leave and catch a bus at 7.30 , i had a nature's call.. ! after having attended that... i was tooo late now! Hurriedly, i left with my chappals on, carrying the shoes in my hand...bad very bad. Ran as fast as i cud..reached the bus stop and the bus arrived! oh, what if i had sat at home wearing the shoes..!
The 7.30 bus is a homely place ..i have been travelling to college by that bus for 2 months now..so the staff and the daily passengers know me, and 2day they got to know my latest venture, wearing shoes in the bus! lol.. but m hardly bothered, convenience first!!
College was fine...had a smooth break-up with my 17-day boyfriend..lol..hes a grey! a silent colour that one hardly notices..anyways, we r back as best frnz!
Evening walk was great, i felt lighter...so decided to watch a movie, and viju the great cd wala always helps!

worlds a small place

As usual i set out for an evening walk. The Sun was about to set in a while and i was enjoying the bright orange sky listening to radio mirchi on my phone. I walked for a good 90 mins today! Yeh, the weight losing thingy is increasing my stamina by the day..m glad i've lost 2 kgs in last month! M totally into veggies and fruits, as i always was except for the other side dishes i had!
Anyways, alls going well now..people have been saying i look in good shape these days.
As i was gettin back home, i saw a familiar face in the crowd.. i tried remembering her... atlast she smiled, so i knew she too was in a similar situation as me! Then i realised shes the aunty who lives across my place in mumbai, and of all places we met in karvenagar, that too at my building gate! Uncle was there too..i spotted him later. He goes like, 'oh, havent seen u around for a long time!' Yeh, i shifted to pune 2 years ago! God, i dont even recollect talking to them when i lived there for like 18 years.., localites always gel away from their locality..!
Like i gel really well with mumbai origins here in pune, theres isaac for instance, we dint have much to talk abt apart frm work, untill we found , both hailed from mumbai..and bang, we clicked! next thing we know, we are travelling together and now we are the best of frnz!
Also yash, he lived in mumbai for sm months, abt 1.5 km from my place, i passed his house like thirce a week to go to class..and we had to meet hereat creative-i, in pune..!
k, i must get started with the amul assignment now before mandar sir decides to deduct marks on late submission..
