Happy Anniversary, Ma and Baba

Read this while you play 'Dark Horse' by David Lanz. Just for dramatic effect. 

It was a fairly unremarkable courtship, I hear. Baba had come home from Ghaziabad, taking a break from his bachelor life there, absolutely unaware of what was awaiting him. So when the family sprung it on him that they had picked out a girl for him, his default answer was no. Ma, apparently, didn't care either way. She wanted to work. Married or not.

Ma and Baba had
'Love is..' coffee mugs
as newlyweds ^_^

How they went from there to being married and off to Ghaziabad together in a month is a wonder that I can only marvel about.  

Phallic Towers

Washington Monument, D.C, July 2012

So, there I was at Washington DC on a hot, sunny day, taking in the sights. Standing in the lawns of the U.S Capitol, with the Smithsonian Group of Museums on your left, what you see in the distance is the Washington Monument. Tall and erect, it shoots right up from the ground to the sky, a 555 foot tall marble obelisk - a monument to the father of the American nation - George Washington. First question that pops into my head - - of all the things they could have done with the fairly large area encompassing the monument, why did they decide to build a pretty huge..erm..phallus?

Reborn

New name, new template and an all new approach to writing. This time, with a purpose. Its been almost a year since I last took the time to write something here. Ye old blog, how art thee?  :-D

Looking back on my old posts before I start again, I can't help but exclaim how extremely depressing my writing was in my previous foray into blogging! It kind of borders on pathetic.

To all my friends who read the sentimental bull**** and never beat the **** out of me :

 
As it turns out, I am kind of a magnet for all kinds of weird incidents (and people, but that's a different matter). I reckon it will make for fairly interesting reading for a lot of people. And oh, I want to start putting interesting pictures on here too. Funny stuff I've come across.

Here's to a whole new blog, new style, new template, everything! But I kept the old posts. Just so I can look at my former sorry self and laugh at her. Happy reading :)
