Work and Fridays!

Today I have a lot of work and today is Friday!!! So, what you may say? Judicious workers can and should work onany given day and time!!! Don't mistake me, I am as judicious as the very next person (N, in this case!!), but Friday's is an entirely different story!!Today, I'm reviewing someone else's work, so I need to be more careful... One way it's good, 'cause I won't feel sleepy inthe afternoons!!! But, the bottom line is "IT'S FRIDAY!!!!"
But, for the excel sheet, it doesn't matter if it's a Friday or a Wednesday, it needs to be reviewed, comments includedand sent across to my Module Leader, so while others (N here again) enjoy their afternoons, me the ever judicious worker will get back to work and plough on and on and on...!!!

Deepavali - Festival of lights

Deepavali, is celebrated across India as the festival of lights, which basically means the triumph of good over bad/evil.
For me, Festivals, especially Deepavali has been the time for family and family get togethers.
When we were kids, all my aunts, uncles and cousins used to come over and we used to have a lots of fun bursting crackers, lighting diyas all around the house!!! Ofcourse, new dresses, plenty of sweets were all part of the celebrations!
But, as we grew older, priorities changed for most of us and the family get togethers gradually stopped....
But, even then Deepavali has always been fun at home with my parents and sister. We still light diyas all around our home and mouth watering sweets and other delicacies are a part and parcel of this beautiful festival.
This year too, the festival was special since it was my first Deepavali after marriage. The family bonding was there and it was extra-special since my sister's B'day was also celebrated!!!
Deepavali will always hold a special place in my heart and I would go on to say that its one of my favorite festivals!!!

Afternoons..... ZZzzzz....

Its my second post on the same day!!! WOW!!!
Actually, I hadn't written anything for almost a month... now after changing jobs, I seem to have more time on hand... :-)
Which is good right? I mean, my training/transition is going on and that will be for max 3 hrs everyday... remaining 5 hrs is basically time given to study...
Oh dear!!!! That studying for 5 hrs is the difficult part!! I mean, we finished all that in college right?!! But, no, these people seem to think otherwise... so, most afternoons I study or atleast I try to put in an honest effort into doing so!!!
But, when you feel as though you have iron chains pulling your eyelids shut, its quite difficult to put up a fight and actually concentrate on studying!!!
I guess this breakis a good one and will help us when work starts...
Anyways, Wish me luck!! I really need it, especially to stay awake in class after lunch!!! :)

Last Meet......

She knew the time had come. She had to say good-bye to him as a new life awaited her.She pulled the shawl closer to her as she felt a sudden chill. She knew even without looking back that he had come.
She turned around and saw the all too familiar face, the slightly unshaven cheeks, the deep brown eyes which had lost its twinkle.
He tried to hold her hand, she pulled away, too scared about the all too familiar touch which had once ignited the passion from the bottom of her soul. He kept looking at her with one question in his eyes for which she had no answer...
He: Is it time to go?
She: Yes
He: Again, i am asking you, why?
She: It wasn't meant to be....

He pulled her close to him, for the last time.. Smelt her hair, her perfume for the very last time.He kissed those lips that he thought was his for the very last time.
She pulled away and there were tears in her eyes asshe slowly walked away from the only person she would ever love...
She walked away into the fading evening as he stood watching silently with tears in his eyes...
She turned back just once and then kept walking....
He watched her till he could see her no more and then turned back and walked away from a thousand dreams, hopes and the only love of his life....
