Just Gossip Vol. 2 - The Big News!!

Ok, so, I wanted to share with you all a really amazing piece of news. My lifelong dream came true when I got this basic professional camera. Yes, I got 60D...yay!!! Well, yup, that was the second on my list after the LED and its the only luxury I wanted in my entire life.

Oh boy, its such an involved machine. The aperture and shutter speed settings apart, there are a hell lot of things I need to learn. Whew! I hope I can make it to the photo walk there is in January. And, honestly, right now I am kind of overwhelmed.

I am trying to learn the ins and outs of the product and hope to get my hands real smooth on it soon. In fact, I am going to attend a colleague's wedding in January so was thinking of taking my camera there but I hope the guests over there don't mistake me for a photographer :D

This is my biggest moment in 2012 :) And, leaving you all with the best wishes for Christmas.

What you doing for Diwali?

So, tomorrow is choti Diwali and day after, big bang...yay!! Hopefully, I will get to meet one of my really old friend. We have been planning for last five years to meet but till day, the moment hasn't come and we are desperately hoping it would be tomorrow.

We are actually college friends and we talk as if we meet everyday. That's what happens when you spend 24 hours with a person and that happens only when you stay in hostel!! And, I shall also be meeting some uncles and aunts who are from yesteryear's of my life, early 90's :D

And, since all of these are scheduled posts, I shall try to update as and when I get something interesting to share. Rest, enjoy your days and I shall be out of town in a few days and the posts would be coming daily. So, enjoy, comment and don't forget to share how you enjoyed Diwali :)

Happy Diwali!!!

My favourite festival of the year is here. Somehow, I am very very excited for this Diwali. I don't really know why but it feels like I have been waiting for it, like, forever. I don't know even if I am making any sense :D This is gonna be my last diwali before marriage :( I want to spend all my subsequent diwali's with my parents as well. Lets see what happens!!

Anyways, have a very very happy and prosperous Diwali and may your next year be full of happiness, contentment and success in all the endeavours. Stay happy :)

No other post today because I want you all to spend time with your families and friends. As if you will spend it on the blog :D Anyways, lots and lots of love and affection from me and all the best wishes in the world. Try to make add pollution to the environment. I will also try to do that :) And, keep yourself and kiddies and pets around safe!! See ya. Adieus.

Happy Dusshera!!

I am so sorry that I forgot to wish you all Happy Dusshera :) Are you guys doing anything special?

Bloggie Holiday!!

Ok, so, since I am having a bloggers block and am too tired and want a holiday, happy holidays to you all :) Btw, I am so sorry that I didn't wish you all a very Happy Navratras and Dusshera. One of my friend's is doing for all nine days this year!!! Kudos to her. Btw, if you are also doing nine days fast, don't forget to keep your energy levels up, especially, if you go to office or work. Taking multivitamin tablets really help (only on doctor's prescription). Chalo see ya :) So, are you keeping fasts?

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!!

Wish you a very Happy Ganesh Chaturthi! And, that's out hitech Ganeshji :)

Happy Janmashtami!!

So, today is Krishanji's birthday!! I don't really celebrate this festival but then any festival is supposed to be a holiday, no?? So, what are you guys doing today?? Plans to temples or ISKCON. I had been once to ISKCON Hyderabad. I think there are two or more temples but I have been only to one and the decoration was awesome even though the temple wasn't very huge!! Wish you all a very Happy Janmashtami :)

Just Gossip Vol. 12 - Happy Holi!

eah, I have become very unreliable! I am angry with myself as well so please be easy on me. And, I am really sorry to everyone who has commented and sent queries to me. I am going to reply to them very soon. The thing is I am not able to do proper time management and excess backlog is creating a lot of workload. And, I have taken few decisions to keep up with the blog work.

Before I go on to other things, wish you a very very Happy Holi! Few of my friends were getting irritated that nothing happens in Hyderabad on this day. Well, as a rule, I am not a big fan of holi but true! Hyderabad is a little boring on Holi but even then our neighbors enjoyed a lot. The problem I have with Holi is the irritating chemical-laden Holi powders! I get allergies with them. And, they are not even good for the environment. 

Ok, I shall stop my preaching! Anyways, these days eco-friendly holi colors have come up. So, have you used those? Guess what, the society I stay in decided to play Holi with kesar, turmeric, almond paste and flowers among all other good things. And, outside colors were strictly forbidden. Such a good initiative, na? 

Anyways, regarding the blog, I have noticed that I have become really lazy and have been neglecting the blog a lot so I have decided that I shall re-time my posts. I have decided to post only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (three times a week) and then slowly get back on track to 5 days a week. I am also taking this week off. So, I shall see you all on April Fool's day :)

Just Gossip Vol. 40 - Happy New Year and 10 things to dump!

Tags : Home >> Just Gossip

Good Morning Everyone! So, how is the New Year morning agreeing with you so far? Or, are you still asleep with the hangover? Wish you all a very Happy, prosperous and exploratory year ahead!!

In the spirit with the new year, I had been meaning to do a post tagged #dump10things since quite long. So, finally, here it is - list of 10 things I would like to get rid of at the verge of this transition from the old to new. Do check out my list and do not forget to share yours in the comments below!!

#1 - Old Grudges

High time to let go of the extra baggage with which we all have been burdening ourselves. If a thing can be solved, solve it. If not, just let it go.

#2 - Taking relationships and people for Granted

This is something we all do some or the other time, intentionally or unintentionally. No, that is not absolutely acceptable. I would hate it if someone would just take me for a ride and so would you so why do it to someone else, right?

#3 - Temper

Oh hello, my old friend. I do think it is time to let you go and a new friend, Patience, to welcome in my life. Short temper not only harms your relationships but also your health so beware!

#4 - Laziness

Well, I love a sedentary lifestyle but is it really that good for us all? Do you know it is one of the cardinal sins to be a sloth and not use yourself to the best of your ability. While I would not say slog it out, I would say not to lie around. But, I do love it so :D

#5 - Procastination

This is a natural progression from laziness. So, next time you have a thing on your To Do list, do not keep on adding it at the bottom. In fact, finish the task which you are most likely to procrastinate first and you will feel good about it!

#6 - Ignoring yourself

A rule of thumb is that you can never take care of others unless you take care of yourself. So, follow the adage and prioritize yourself. Take 15 minutes off from the day and just pamper yourself. Go for a walk, meditate, head for the salon or simply sit with your thoughts.

#7 - Leading an Unhealthy Life

While laziness is more or less responsible for this point, I would also stress that bad daily routines and unhealthy habits does lead to a lot of laziness as well. You can see that it is a never ending cycle. So, break it now and start it slow!

#8 - Fear

Afraid of heights? Or, afraid of discovering more about yourself? Pick whichever fear is more closer to you and work on it. Travel, write, do whatever you have been thinking you want to do but have been hesitant about it. Nothing will happen unless you get your hands dirty. My boss used to say show me the dirt!

#9 - Negativity

Well, this is one thing which seeps your entire energy and spirit and kills you from inside. So, chuck this out first. Be optimistic and value your assets. In most of the situations, you are more likely to have nothing to lose. So, think about it whenever you are negative about anything.

#10 - Not Travelling

This one is close to my heart. I love to travel and I love to travel locally as opposed to touristy. So, yup, I would love to get a chance to go and travel the world. High on my list are Norway and Iceland. I am just dying to go there.

So, these are my list of 10 things which I would love to improve upon in this course of the new year and soon make changes for my and my family's good. Now that you have read my list, do not forget to share yours in the comments below. Remember, I am waiting!!

Just Gossip Vol. 6 - The New Year Project 2013

So, here is me and my blog wishing you a very very happy new year!! I wish the new year brings you a lot of happy celebrations and a new life :)

And, I have a project for this New Year :) Would you like to take part in it??? If yes, then you just need a jar or a box kind of stuff and lots of small papers and good pens :)

Everyday, each time, you learn something, you find something to make you happy, you do something worthwhile, anything you would like to remember, anything which made you smile, anything which touched your heart, anything you want to talk about, write it in a piece of paper and put it in the box/jar.

At the end of the year, we shall open the box and read all the pieces and share ones which are good enough to be shared :) What say??? Would you like to join in?
