The snow falls...finally!

Author: bondgal_rulz / Labels: , ,

The town enveloped in a sheet of serene white...the clouds so dense that they have hidden the mighty Himalayas behind them....snow falling continuously like tufts of cotton on the already white ground....couples walking around, cuddled under colorful umbrellas....my first snow fall :)....like someone said that its something that one never forgets :)


But for the restless me snowfall is kinda dull when you compare it to rainfall....it makes one lazy, reluctant to leave the bed and the cozy blanket...whereas rain! Rain propels you to leave the confines of your room, go out, and dance! Don't get me wrong....I had my fair share of snow ball fights and snow-man making but then how long can one go on doing that? Snow, no doubt one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, somehow makes everything come to a standstill...great if you are on a vacation like I was but I'm not too sure otherwise....whereas rain, however long and hard it might rain, life goes on...Mumbai will agree with me here...and Delhi, the city which moves to India Gate every time there is an unscheduled rainfall, will nod too ;)

Anyway, maybe it was just that while it was snowing in Manali, Delhi was playing hostess to rains. And well, some of my closest ones were there at that time, preventing me from appreciating nature's creation of snow....ah! the ways in which the mind works...

Women Rock!

Author: bondgal_rulz / Labels: , , , , , ,

I saw Aisha. Finally. And it made me think. Yeah, a movie as inane as Aisha made me think. Now if you are over it, let's discuss the subject matter of my thoughts.

So this movie, like all stooopid chick-lit movies basically tries to tells you how incomplete, how lonesome, and how sad a woman is without the presence of a guy in her life.

True, with single hood come many insecurities, fears, and a fair amount of longingness on seeing happy couples around you...but that's all there is to it really.

With single hood, comes a lot of time for yourself, your interests, and your near and dear ones. I think it's the best times for girls who perennially find themselves in one relationship or the other to rediscover themselves.

Why is it that it is thought that a woman NEEDS a man in her life? Why can't a guy just be another character in the play that's her life? Someone, who if there, makes life a tad more fun but someone, if not there, will just be a happ/crappy (as applicable) memory.

Single women don't wake upe very morning wishing they had some guy to share their life with. Maybe women with no friends whatsoever do. But not the modern woman I know. Today's woman is capable of living her life alone. And mind youshe can not just live it but live it UP. Hell, we women don't even need you men to make babies now. Ha!

Here's to all the women I know. Single or not. Cheers! :)

P.S. Written on my cell on my way back from home, all the time stuck in heavy traffic. Feelings: to get out of the cab and get drenched in the rain dancing to the music playing on my cell. ALONE.

Rainy Days and Sundays

Author: bondgal_rulz / Labels: , ,



There's something about rains. Something innocent. Something romantic. Something pure.


A good dose of rains never, NEVER fails to bring a spring in my step, a song on my lips, a smile on my face.



They' re like your favourite cheer-up song. Or like that friend who makes you forget your woes in an instant. Perhaps like Ecstacy!? Better still, like a new crush whose mere thought evokes feelings hitherto unknown to you but waiting desperately to be given expression.


They are very much like a cleanser too. When the rain stops, the entire city has this glow of a newly-wed bride and the purity of a new-born. A shower in the rain ends up cleansing my thoughts too...removing all negativities from body, mind, and soul.



There are very few things in life that can beat the pleasure of those slight drizzles on your face while standing in the balcony/office door; walking down an empty road while its raining like crazy; dancing to rain instead of music on the terrace!





And the clouds!! The thundering noise that they make!!! Just the perfect excuse to wrap your arms around him and bury your face in his chest.



The darkness of a cloudy sky is perhaps the only darkness that people welcome with open arms and hearts.

And ofcourse, with rains comes the special monsoon menu - chai, pakodas, poode, jalebi...yum yum!!

My favouirite rain song is - ab ke sawan aise barse (Shubha Mudgal). What's yours ?
