..."The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!"...

... she called! ... and i was caught off guard!... it was a 'perfect timing' or was it a coincident? ... but then what is coincident but not a perfect timing?... i was not in any meeting... i wasn't driving... i wasn't with anyone... i was by myself... cut-off from the outer world... surrounded by the glass... with 'arrangements' to keep the noise outside... and then it rang... my mobile phone... an unknown number... i never saved her number... why should i?... she ain't gonna call that often... she ain't gonna call at all... that is what i thought till today... but she called... and i am now even more convinced...

... it seems this monsoon is coming with more than it's fair share of usual misery... three women i know are 'down' with something or the other... two i know in flesh and blood and third is in the realm of the Internet... and since u r reading this on the internet... i will begin with Chanz... i think i started following her blog when she posted some pics of her Chandigarh trip... i am still fuzzy about the history but i think i ended up on her blog thru Garry's... and this poor girl, who had to face the daily grind of the legendary Injian hijras for some days... fell down... i mean... literally... in a movie theater... and with 'Sex and the City -2' on the screen... and that's when someone with 'husky voice' asked if she was alright... i do feel bad that she is now 'cooling her heels' in bed... not because she hurt herself but i feel bad that she got herself hurt because of that girl with mosquito repelling body odor AND the movie was Sx&Cty ... phew! ... hope u recover well and soon... and NO i am not going to ask how was the movie...

... second lady i wud like to mention is my Grandmother... almost a decade (perhaps more!) she has avoided the cataract surgery... cleverly taking shelter in the extreme weather conditions of saaddi Dilli... "iss baar to bahut garmai hai, thoda sardiyon mein karaaoongi" ... "iss baar to bahut thand hai... thodi garmiyaan aa jaaen to karati hun!"... and the cycle repeated... however this time her 'usual' doctor was not on duty and this 'new' doctor asked to get the 'eye check-up' ... and there was no escape... my grandma is very wary of 'new' doctors... and there is always a possibility that she she wud come back home if 'her doctor' is not there... so this time (her luck!) she was curtly told that if she didn't acted soon this cud be really very very bad situation... so she relented... and now she has successfully come out of the operation...

... and as if this was not enough... our very own Lady Tao is 'down' with multiple ailments ... thanks to lack of 'acclimatization' ... Mumbai is taking its toll on her... i think she is working way too hard... she needs to slow down... take a break... get lost in the woods... the natural lush dark jungles... and let Japan find her... again...

... i feel women in general have better (magical?) self-healing power... i have seen my mom recovering faster than we can say "mom-you-don't-worry-we-can-handle-this-you-take-care"... but then... once in a while... we all need some TLC... i wish all the ladies speedy recovery... and all the love and care and hugs and kisses... and husky voices to sooth their ears and ....

... and to clear the mystery... the woman who called me earlier this evening was none other than the wife of my gym owner... i mean IF i join this gym... she was the wife of this doctor/owner of the gym... and i think she has won a client ...her perseverance has paid... the 'offer' notwithstanding ... i think she has persuaded me to join the program... i think...

  1. awwwwwwwwwwwwwww.... I am sooo touched... this is the best "get well soon" message i have received till now..

    thanks Atul... I hope I get to hear that voice again.. I know, with friends like you, I don't have to worry about that..

    PS : I had no clue that my name was mentioned here... I opened your blog in the morning today when I was just trying to kill the little time I had in between work at office.. and finding it too long, I thought of coming back in the evening...
