Well, the only new thing in my life is the new job. Even my marriage, which was so new till recently, has turned one year OLD! However, marriages are supposed to be evergreen so the word old doesn't really go along.
After joining this place, the word 'desitypes' has started sounding just so correct for me. This place has lots of firangs, so my new colleagues are no more desi names but likes of Emilie, Florence, Davis etc etc etc...Being a true desi, I did have apprehensions working, specially conversing with them...but well things are now much under control. I remember our Dwarka days, when these firangs were quiet comic characters for us and only relief for our 'eveteasing' urge. Akanksha would agree to this!!! (Bahut sundar hai yaar)
And apart from this, there are so many new things I plan to do and end up finding no time for...like dance class! My second attempt to join a class failed recently when my friend who was to join with me, had to leave for a business trip. And I was too hesitant to go ahead and join the class alone...what if I am unable to move? What if these guys laugh at my paunch? ...the dark sides always haunt..so I need this friend who is somewhat like me..so we can look at each other and be happy.
Would like to share my dancing experiences in my posts in near future....if I am able join the class soon. Fingers crossed!

Joy Ride
When in Mumbai, one thing to look forward to is RAIN! Though monsson has been quite a miser this season but the showers and constant black clouds in the sky makes the day just so cool and fresh...something like the current Limca ad on television!
Rains fascinate and charm me. I don't like sitting inside when its raining and love getting drenched (probably because my parents always prevented me from doing so). I had a joy ride to office today...I refused to draw the curtains of my rickshaw and expericed showers hitting me from two open sides of the vehicle...oh what fun, what an experience! Crossed Juhu beach and filled myself with energy seeing the tides roaring and running high..would have really jumped of to the rickshaw if I was not going to office....
Mumbai is really creative and innovative when it comes to umbrellas! You get to see what wonderful, beautful creations....a great eye treat!

Inspired by two of my friends who are simply excellent at writing, I finally decide to start putting my thoughts on a blog...what if the inspiration process took around 2 years to hit...what if the decision finally came in because I am completely workless these days...what, what, what? I am writing!
So now the process begins, the process of thinking which I try best to avoid. And this is not some new trait that I have developed, eversince I remember myself in a position where I am required to think, I have tried my best.....to run away!!! I have all evidences with me - I was worst maths student my teachers ever had as I believe maths requires a lot of mental exercise...eeeekkkksss, it hurts, I was the least popular of the four kids my parents had as I rarely had inputs to make...though I impressed people with my joker dancing (I am against mental exercise, i said)...there many more such evidences; better forgotten.
However, I firmly believe that no one in the rat race world of today can survive without putting their brains to function, at least normally. I realised the same too at some point in my life and hence, have survived (i guess so) and been constantly working towards it. So keeping all speculations aside, I hereby declare that my brain does work!
So far, I have been appreciated for my work at two organizations I have worked for. And now third is aboout to happen. Excited, elated and ready I am!
Finally, why the name desitypes...coz I realize somewhere down my soul refuses to mix with the urban culture the circumstances have exposed me to; sometimes I feel alienated in the so-called 'happening world' of today. Incidentally, most of my friends and colleagues are those 'happening' kinds and thus I am pulled out of my 'desi' shell. Whatsoever, I am enjoying the mix of choices I am in, the energy flowing around me that gives me no time to think of stepping back and the people around; they are wonderful - each an inspiration!
So, I am happy!
