Quick update – VLCC works – i lost 9cms (4 inches) on my tummy Ofcourse I continued with my 6 km walk, one km jogging and half an hour stationery bike along with VLCC sessions. What remains to be seen is how long i can sustain this inch loss.

See aasim surprised by his father here and dressed as a traffic policeman here

Weekend came and weekend went… I hardly noticed. The biggest crib is not getting a good house maid. Currently I have employed three women but still there are days when none of them turn up… bad state of affairs.

Saw Sur on sunday night. An excellent movie -a must see!!

Joined VLCC today. They say they gurantee 3-4 inches of fat loss on tummy … and I am desperate enough to try!!

Ghazal of the week

Halka sa ik nasha sa Aakhon pe chhaa raha hai
dekha tumhe to yeh di kuch gunguna raha hai

Jage huaye hai dekho ehsaas aaj mere
doori mita ke aao tum paas aaj mere

mausam jawan jawan sa arman jaga raha hai
dekha tumhe to yeh dil kuch gunguna raha hai

chaya hua hai harsoo kaisa ajab sa jadoo
aise mein kya rahegaein dhadkano pe kaaboo

aawaj de ke tumko yeh dil bula raha hai
dekha tumhe to yeh dil kuch gunguna raha hai

Aasim on being asked if he loves his friend, Nupur 🙂

Life looks brighter and everything looks much better now that i am getting organised.
Well… atleast for now. There’s more to be done but then Tomorrow, afterall, is another day.

I thought work will ease out a bit today from today, got myself an assistant but that was not to be, the cook and maid ditched.
Aasim went today dressed as a Traffic Policeman for his school’s founders day celebration. All the kids performed well during rehearsals but NO ONE spoke when the school’s founder asked them what they are dressed as.. well, kids cant be forced by anyone. Teachers had a tough time.
Weekend was good.Husband and kid both were relaxed and so was I Saw a couple of movies. Loved Entrapment – loved Sean Connery.

After several years again got in touch with two of my hostel friends a few days back. Nandini was pretty mad at me for not keeping her informed about my new phone nos.. but then, i did not have hers as well… not my fault entirely. Roopa has shifted to Shanghai Wonder where Joba is. She was never the letter writing kinds so I just hope whereever she is she is in great shape and enjoying herself. Here’s how the conversation about her goes whenever we talk about her

swati: Joba is in the US. Mandavi last I knew was in hyderabad
Roopa: where in the u.s. i’m going there in december
swati: wait a sec.. let me see old emails
swati: 🙁 her last mail to me dated 20th february 2001 does not say where she is
swati: she has a daughter called Nina
Roopa: too bad then
Roopa: all right, joba had sex!! yay, whee!!

Ah! hope we all meet up with Joba somewhere – it’ll be great fun to reminescence the hostel days and pull her leg 😉

Brother in law asked me to send him some romantic hindi and urdu poetry so that he can impress someone 😉 men do change when they turn 40 don’t they?

Baat Niklegi to phir door talak jayegi

Whoa!! days are passing by real fast – weekend whizzed past me and I didn’t even notice !!!
Work, work, more work… …
Managed to watch Humraz yesterday – Could have been made into a better movie only if it was half its length. The first half really dragged.
Going to Bangkok for a business trip on wednesday. Lot of arrangements to be done.. I am dead tired but this trip is important for us as well as Aasim who will stay back with my parents for the first time.
