Have you ever asked a man sitting by himself( not reading, not watching TV or not eating ie not doing any activity whatsoever)...."what are you thinking"!!!
Most of the time his reply would be ..Nothing!!
Men dont think anything from time to time!! they just vegetate!!
And women, we are always thinking something!! Perhaps that's why we are smarter and can multi task!! :-)

Birthday Madness Part 2
And if you think i did not keep the promise of twists and turns in the end...here it goes..for all of you who missed not being in the car!!!
N twisting and turning car on the road and D and S twisting and turning and doubling in laughter on the back seat and P turning back and asking.."What is so funny"!! and N not only twisting and turning the car and driving here there everywhere was also turning to look back and trying to do Hi5 with S and D!!!

What makes me happy!!!
My next project is making a list of all those things that make me happy!!!Now that I am thinking about it..
Laughing with freinds surely makes one happy!! They get deposited in the account of happy memories and no matter whenever you open it..it sure puts a amile on the face!! :-)
Do things make one happy!! not really ..very fast they get under the skin!! So happy memories is the most precious gift!!

One more Birthday,...more madness!!!
.JPG)
Birthday again this week and this time it was Deepti and the madness continued!! And I cannot call this post "the three musketeers" for the simple reason that we had a fourth one this time..and believe me this post will be ode to that person!! I will, like any good ex-journalist hide her identity till she says I can use it!!! So till i hear from her, for our benefit we will call her P!:) And believe me this will be a long post!! And like the Hindi movies and Hindi Tele serials will have lots of twists and turns in the end!!!
The day started like any other normal day with N and D asking where are you Sumita!! and with my saying "in office" and they both saying Arre Waah..but that does not mean that N was in office too..She walked in at 11.45 and ofcourse did not have her card to come in so called me and since I was not in office she called D to open the door for her!! And entering she said..what are you guys doing? Let's go for lunch..I am hungry...D and I in unison screamed out...NO..not now..we will work for one more hour..N who was with P (N and P came together to work)went back to her office..ofcourse saying..YOU GUYS!!!
So after checking with D, lunch at Pasta? in Castro was decided and booked!
The booking was made for 12.30 but till 12.35 we were still in office!! Now we could not even travel real time(Star Trek) as even then we would be late.
So after some deliberations and mud slinging as to who all delayed we hopped onto ..Ofcourse N's Car..now with her driving we have got addicted to it!! Anyone driving properly feels something is wrong!! esp for the lunch escapades from office!!
So off we started for D's Birthday lunch. Somehow the road to the resturant is always about 15-20 mts but coming back (mostly in N's car) is always about 35-45 minutes..the roads seem to stretch as N is always super confident about the way!!
Achaa so we reached Castro and N makes a dash in to the side the road..well the way was right but the way she did it..hmmmm lesser spoken is better!!
And as usual the parking in Castro..but then we saw the multi storey parking and both N and S in unison said this is the one let's park here..but P said NO..yahaan se bahut chalnaa padegaa..Let's go to the next one!!And N started screaming please one of you say where to go!!! P again said Bahut Chalna Padega..we will have to walk a lot from here!! But by then N was inside the parking and said let it be!!!Finally found parking and then the elevator! And as soon as we came out of the parking what do we see..RIGHT in FRONT OF US!!! PASTA?...ofcourse a burst of laughter and everyone looking at P and saying..Chalna Padegaa ( we will have to walk>>))
And then we settle down ( ofcourse after deliberating again..Inside or Outside and then after saying Outside outside..finally sitting Inside!!)
And now the story starts of the lunch menu..BUT now I also need to take a break and you also must be tired of reading..so let's all take a break and get back later to read what happened next!!!

The F word
Failure - Is it really that bad!!!
Was having a discussion last night about Failure. Opposite of success is failure and so is opposite of Failure success!! Interrelated or can one say Success is actually risking failure!! Complicated haan!!
But Failure has a different meaning for different people..some it means the end of the world whereas for some it's a new begining!! Begining of not repeating the mistakes!!
So how bad can be failure - as bad as we percieve? Would my family/friends leave me if I fail..well if they leave when i am down then maybe they were never my family/friends to start with!!
How much of a role does failure play in shaping our character our personality! Major!! It sometimes the failure which brings out the best in us and takes us to the high spot where we are!! Failure along with Success is what actually defines us!!A broken marriage, a lost opportunity all these failures shape us!!
Failure teaches us what not to do!!

The Three Musketeers!!
After a long time i laughed so hard that my stomach hurt and my eyes watered!!
Birthday madness started from friday with lunch with Deepti and Neetika. Had thai food...neetika nearly dropped the soup on the lady serving us!! The waitress seemed to be pissed about something and we were actually hesitant in asking her to serve us!!! LOL!!
And I finally got to go to TJ Maxx!!! The best part was the two hooded cool summer dress!!! Am sure D and N are going to hold that on me forever!!
Then N's urgency to go to office and offering to pick us back in an hour!!! That was the most hilarious part..
We laughed so much that even N's Formula 1 Driving Style did not bother us and for the first time N was worried about getting a ticket for driving and laughing!!!
N if u never got a ticket for the way you drive I wonder what do they actually give tickets for!!
D was sitting with hands clenched to the seat and was busy telling N..red light hai..yahaan stop ker!!
But we had a great time..was like college days again!! Laughing and talking and screaming all at the same time!!
Good to have good friends!!:)

Birthday!!!
Had a great weekend...Birthday was great fun!! Bar-be-cue for lunch at Alka di's place, and the ice cream cake - that needed to be thawed before cutting!! Man you need electrical saws for these cakes!!
Japanese food in the evening withAnshuman, Vik and Maneesh and then the Jazz Concert!!
Sunday was even more fun with the Concert in the park. I think this was the first time that i was lying in the park, watching the clouds go by and listening to live music that too being played by the San Francisco Symphony!!
I guess now I can say I am enjoying the US !! and definitely my fisrt birthdy here was great fun!!
