Things that scare me...
Woh kuch chhoti moti cheezein jinse mujeh darr lagta hai/mahsoos hota hai
Hmmmmm
1>>
Symbiosis indoor swimming pool - Fear of WaterI shopped with great enthu(wats new?) for an amazingly cute swimsuit with a matching headgear(it looks attrocious! but kya kare? have to protect hair frm ill effects of chlorine) , got a membership at the Nearby Symbiosis Health Arena, Paid for a swimming coach, Got special lotions to treat my dry skin from the aftermath of chlorine water...kitna kharcha karna padta hai!!
Day 5 after joining...
Shalini asks me, 'Chalo Gayu, swimming ko chalte hain!'..'Nahi yaar..bahut kaam hai'
Day 10...
Sudeep questions 'Arre tere woh swimming sessions ka kya hua re?'
'Woh kya hai ne, that coach is too tough on me! He has sworn that he's going to dunk me in water the next time I spend staring petrified at the pool water"
2>> Kyonki Saas bhi kabhi bahu thi...Fear of the Future M-I-L...Bhaaavi SaasumaI have spent most of the afternoons and evenings of my childhood glued to Doordarshan, where I was initiated in to the Saas-bahu culture. All those marathi and hindi serials where the poor Bahu is tormented by her evil and scheming Saas. The entire family is hellbent on giving the timid D-I-L a hard time. Haaye poor Bahu.... Please have a heart!!
Meri Saasuma kaisi hongi? How will she treat me?
3>> Doodh Prashan...Milk...Its a firm belief in all Indian households that Milk is the most nutritive among all possible diets that can be consumed today. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who cannot stand milk...or rather the smell of it...and yes of course the ghastly malai that appears on its surface..Ugggghhh!!
When I was an infant, my Maushi while sitting down would position me tightly nestled in her legs lest I flay and try to escape, hold my hands, and pour milk into my mouth, which I would promptly squirt out. Later over the years, my mum and dad tried all possible health drinks in all types , flavours and brands , but to no avail. This girl would just not consume milk. Then came 'Bonny Mix' a chocolatey mixture of oats, bran, nuts and other nutrtitive but delicious stuff, and I've been hooked on to porridge like breakfast ever since.
'Tum thak nahi jaati roz roz yeh porridge khaake?'
Nahi :)
People who make me laugh…
My little cousins Kaustubh and Rishi for their innocent banter. My darling sister who shares my brand of humour. My close friends Sanjay, Vrushank, Sheffy, Vilin,...They have their own special brand of humour, very down-to-earth, very rustic and desi, and very laughable.
Heres to more and more laughter for years to come...
