When I stopped being judgemental…
It didn’t take me more than 2 meetings to say ‘no way’.
I have met him more than twice and I realized I didn’t have to say that. Some people u meet by accident is no accident. I have hidden more than he has shared. I have always been unsure of him around. I shut the door before I even realized. And most often when I think I need to talk, he would call out of the blue. When I felt I needed advice, I just needed to turn around. I closed my eyes, and he would say to me – u have it in you.
Yea, something was wrong. I obviously was pre-occupied and he was thinking way too much abt me. But he grew on me. I wanted to share the smallest, the silliest. He heard me out. I never understood why he was excited, why he said a few things and repeated it… I called him Popat! I used him as my sounding board. I didn’t realize I was using him….he was around.
There were moments when I was happy and in bliss with my surrounding, but a thought would cross me, reminding me of him. I did something new and I wanted to tell..talk..yak. Who knew id known him for over a year. Time flew.
Neither of us expected anything from each other. I made my side clear. Obviously I didn’t want THINGS to happen.
This guilt of not letting him know why I wasn’t IN for anything and what was I pre-occupied with kills me.
He has no attitude, he is plain simple. No quirkiness. Not MY types for sure... but I only say this after over a year :)

Job insecurity or a change in lifestyle?
Is that a choice? The economic uncertainty has certainly seen stress levels rise in all of us. Projections say by 2011 it may better. That is another goddamn 2 yrs or more!
The slowdown first touched me when I was in London. The family of 5, I was staying with had already lost 2 jobs. The youngest son was trying hard to get employed. Women in the family were juggling both emotional and financial support. They ran a laundry. Work never ended till late evening when actually London stops work at 5!
Not knowing what the ‘credit crunch’ had in store for India, I convinced dad to invest in an exclusive property in South Bangalore. But exactly 6 months later we started to hear about job losses, salary cuts and the price cuts.
On my quick trip to Singapore to handle management issues I heard from every cab driver what a struggle it was and no one knew how they would emerge out of this. They were frustrated and their anger was fierce. I didn’t think that I might not visit Singapore for a while, post that trip. The clients had tightened their purse strings and the tourism business by itself had crumpled. When I spoke to an insider in the Singapore Tourism Board, he mentioned how they were trying to promote education and no more ‘destination tourism’ was their key focus.
Marketing strategies changed. Business propositions were tweaked. Offerings were more focused with keeping the downturn in mind. Plenty of advices from industry leaders on how to survive the slow down started to trickle in.
Greeting people starts with ‘Has the downturn touched you’? ‘Have you cut down on your traveling?’ ‘Oh yes, its definitely stopped me from thinking about getting married!’ was something. I haven’t met anyone who has smiled it away or even didn’t worry about it in the near future.
A Malyali in office working away form home decided to look for a match. His folks back home obviously insisted the girl be from their village in Kerala. After a long search for over 3 yrs he approved of a girl.
Within 2 months of the engagement he got a frantic call from the girls side with a zillions questions on their mind. ‘Can you support the girl with the current economic scenario?’ ‘We need to talk to someone who can take responsibility and be responsible for the wedding?’ I couldn’t stop laughing. Poor he. They eventually got married though.
Did this bring about a lifestyle change? I have seen friends; the big spenders watch every move of theirs. Late night dinners in star hotels, afternoon brunches every Sunday or even simply catching up over a drink every evening after work -not happening anymore!
But really, it is a reality check. If not for this period the gap between segments of people would have widened and there would be no end to expectation. This period gave each one of us time to sit back, realize and plan. The fear of when its going to end and the worse that can happen stays on.

Need a title
Is someone playing games? I like games. Unpredictable! People you know, now are far. Someone you disconnect with is dining with you. Your neighbor drives you around but you don’t care about each other. Friends surprise you and are over joyed by your do! It’s a superlative feeling when someone thrice your age emails you. Flowers and cakes more than once a week! Wine with love!
NOW I wish time holds still! Last evening, when I decided to party after long, I also decided I didn’t want to be driven. How about a bike ride? I knew the feeling instantly. But when I was just rushing across to say my last good bye for the evening, I bumped into someone EVIL! ‘No’ I said to myself, ‘keep the good going’.
Getting excited about small things keeps me going week after week. Yes it’s an awesome feeling. But back of my mind I have alert sirens ringing, only to warn me about my fading decibels of laughter.
I came back after an exciting shoot in Mangalore. Shot the Kambhala, buffalo race. The shoot was fantastic - The people warm and affectionate, that's what I enjoy most! I was looking forward to Holi in Mathura, but that didn’t happen.
Now next on my agenda is a Mahabalipuram! But my friends have warned me that I will not be taken if I lug my camera along! :(
Coming back to games, 7 of us spent over two hrs on a game of pictionary. A pictionary party can be loads of fun, especially when the guys I know have to draw!
Some people like to be a part of your joy, the rest miss out! To some I don’t know what happened! YES this post was about the various people I know and I connect with! Phew (few) things are unpredictable?
