Reality shows - Real in life shows..

So, my laptop konked off. And took a long time to repair. I have a desktop, also the famous iPad, but the relationship that I have developed with my cute lil laptop over the years can't be put into words. It was easy for me to find a spot, and just write away or surf away. Had become very lazy to plonk myself in front of the desktop, though its in a perfect corner of a room filled with books. Anyway, am back with my lil laptop, banging on the keyboard happily ;).

Recently I started watching Big Boss, a reality show where, they bring in celebrities - most of them in need of a image lift, and some of them jobless. All of them have to spend few weeks together in a house as per the show format and rules, they are not allowed to establish any kind of contact with the outside world. They need to cook and clean, and do other tasks as per the orders of that 'Big Boss' who's not seen, only heard. There are cameras all around the house, and the viewers get to watch the fun.

There is name calling, gossiping, bitching, back stabbing,groups formed inside that house and one by one everyone gets eliminated, the survivor gets to win a lumpsome amount.

While watching the show, I realized why half of India is hooked on to such reality shows, they get to see the celebs washing their linen in public - literally. 

There is a couple inside, who recently got divorced. There is another actress, who got divorced yeas ago and has been a single parent to her teenage sons. There are couple of out-of-job models, an item girl, a Bihari actor, couple of more TV actors and a celebrity hair stylist.

While the guy is trying to win his estranged wife back, the wife has moved on. And the guy has cried on everyone's shoulder on national tv, saying, he still loves her..blah..blah.. whereas the wife says that its only a gimmick - true!

Then there was an episode, where the mother of two, gets into name calling with this estranged wife, and blames her for the divorce. Ouch! Well, sometimes we think, that a person who's been there done that situation might turn out to be supportive to another person going through similar situation, but, it doesn't always happen that way.

In reality, or real life also we come across people, thinking that they are trustworthy, and at the first given opportunity share our secrets, spill the beans about everything, not knowing that while you kept their secrets as they are supposed to be kept - in your heart. They just went around talking about it, gossiping about it, while you hid it from your husband, they had their orgasm that night by just unzipping your life. 

But, as it's rightly said, you never stop learning lessons in your life. This was a lesson for me too. While there are nice people out, you still have to be careful about sharing, because we never know, who's waiting there to just pounce on us and rip us apart, and wash our clothes in public.

Between then and now...

My last post was on 16th March 2015, and I haven't visited this space since then... Lot of things happened between then and now.. March 25th 2015, we finally got the possession of the villa, we had been rooting for. The previous owner was a complete jerk, he put us through an ordeal. But as they say, when you really want something, the universe conspires to get it for you. I desired that house, which is now my beautiful home. Even before, we signed the papers, I had visualized the decor of this house...my house, my home! I was happy with my previous villa too, it was enough for the 4 of us, but, hey, dreams are not in your control, fulfilling them definitely is. My husband made it happen. He just went after the guy to get this for us. The whole of April and May was spent in doing up the house. The woodwork, the furniture, drapes etc... Everything had to be coordinated. Though am still not happy with the colour of the curtains.. Looking around to find the right one. Then came t

short story..

Rohan checked his reflection in the mirror, clean shaven he was a dapper tonight, he smiled. His thoughts were interrupted by the sales lady, "Sir, your item is ready, it will be 25000/. Would you be paying by cash or card?" "Card", he said. He collected his packet and got into his car, waiting at the signal, he glided his hand on the velvet case. "She is gonna love it", he said it aloud in the privacy of his sedan.  He was dying to be in her arms tonight, and hear those magical words. He laughed, for thinking like a teenager. Nisha's intercom beeped, the guard informed her of Rohan's arrival. she checked herself for one last time in the mirror, sprayed her chanel, and went to the door. Rohan walked in with a bunch of flowers, and gave her the velvet box. A beautiful diamond studded pendant with a gold chain. She blushed, as he offered to string it around her neck, his hand brushed her bare shoulders, she shivered. She looked in his eyes, as he car

2013 it will be..

I was having my coffee in the morning as usual, when I saw the caption 'time flies'. That set me thinking. Checked the date, and couldn't believe that there were just 5 days left for 2012 to end. Phew!  Well, it's cliched, because every year, I say the same thing. I desperately wanted 2011, to end slowly, as the arrival of 2012 meant that I would have to leave Bangalore, but obviously, we do not have control over time. So 2012 came, I moved, and I am still settling in so to say, and now it's time to welcome another year. Thank God for surviving one more year. This is one prayer that I always say every year. New Year, new beginnings, so I guess I have to wait and watch what 2013 has in store for me. In the meanwhile, I will draw up my list of resolutions - that is a ritual, and I love to do it every year. I do not stick to the list, so this time, losing weight is definitely NOT there, though I still have to work on my water intake. I am worse than a camel when it com
