Reminiscence of Driftwood

I have known Ms Driftwood for close to a year now...

There are times wen u come across this person with whom u share many common traits..
From our love for kohl-rimmed eyes to Hugh Jackman.. kairi pana to mojito..
to being in red house..sporting the same watch n cellphone (with a broken camera) ...to our childhood dream of becoming an english teacher I couldn't blv how  we have so many things in common..ppl also nicknamed us as sisters as we shared sm common features in addition to like tastes :D
We went for a shocker a cpl of times wen we struck the same idea-  you know it's like u kind of Cough, Sneeze & Grunt together as one wd Hop, Skip & Jump..

Our alchemy started from hatred for a certain kind & has faired over time.
We also have creative exchanges of thoughts not only on mutual interests but also on varied ones-she keeps telling me abt books & poetry & all things rational & I goad her on Bollywood...

But I have to admit she has inspired me big time - I finally got to dropping a line coz of her.
Though it'll take me ages to get to the quality of her compositions-
  Ahoy !! the day I ushered into her musings ...2 blogs down & I was already a fan.
And I could not think of a better way to end this section -talk abt inspiration :
 "Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm,
 but to add color to my sunset sky"
  ~Rabindranath Tagore

And now that time has come to bid adieu, I do not want to share clichéd farwell remarks but an all time fav punch:
"All I know is...I'm gonna miss u Ms.Driftwood...!!"

P.S. -Wanted to post this on Jul 1st, but couldn't wait to see her reaction to it....you gotta get selfish at times.. ;-)

Down on the Road..!!

Okay so I have lazed enough & it's time to pen thoughts again.. :-)

The title of this blog is inspired from the famous George Clooney movie-"Up in the Air"
Considering the fact that I travel milessssssssssssss back n forth to office it's only legit to blog about it :)
But Mr. Clooney is better off..he gets miles each time he flies which could be encashed & then there's me..on the road in the car befuddling traffic which gets worse by the day & sorrier by the season !!

Look at the brighter side, Hyd is a city of shopping arcades..you are on top of all offers going on in any showroom on the way, you know how regularly they update their stock & if any new outlet springs up, you sure know if it is worth it.If I go by stats, billboards only second these outlets..no wonder why Hyd is termed as City of Billboards ; Funny ain't it..you see the road dug up & a sign saying..."No space, please take diversion" & a billboard right on top "Finding office spaces was never easier"; then there are some pathetic ones -spooky faces for some movie promo; CCL -with Heroes;bulldozers; rhinos & wat not - **super**stars endorsing cements to chicken...little did I know "Nandi is Nice" is the catchphrase for Nandi Cement...and one fine day..there are numerous birthday wishes put up for Superstars, Megastars, Stylish Stars, young stars (pun intended-no celeb cd b a plain simple star here..they are glorified to the superlative) each personifying their screen-avtars ..Lions, Tigers, Fighters, Ninjas wat not ...

Guess I too got carried away talkin abt Hyd's skyline... ;-)

My transit time also accounts for venting out office grievance, chalking out plans for weekends, catching up with friends(on phone-the advantage of not being on the driver's seat), listening to music-(with great freedom comes great responsibilty-I have to keep the playlist refreshed & updated-thanks to my fellow rider);I have at times gone crazy n utilized this time for having breakfast, reading newspaper & attending meetings too !!

But as each day passes by,how I wish I was a teleporter who would go places with the wink of an eye,owned a flying carpet that could break the traffic n fly home or to say the least earn some miles & encash them too...any takers ???
