memories

memories are wonderful...in a moment they transport us back in time, and have the ability to turn the worst day into a bearable one, making us smile when nothing seems to be going our way....n the best thing is one thing leads to other...n one memory to other.....something about the present links to the past and reminds us of the beautiful days spent with our family and friends :)

pav bhaji: one of my favourite dishes...and each time i eat it, it reminds me of my dad's hand made pav bhaji and pav bhaji from vaishali in jam nagar, with amazing chutney...just loved it..enjoyed it with ronak didi n namrata...

with ronakdidi and namrata  : reminds me of the amazing time we spent on the two wheeler....eating all junk food...masala soda, chocolate milkshake and sandwich....searching for egg (coz not all shops sold eggs) to make bhurji for dinner....amazing time i had only thanks two these two wonderful friends :)

movies: reminds me of all the fun time i had in pune n pimpri n jamnagar with my roomies....all of us were movie buffs...n i have had some of the best times in theaters.....watching bewafaa with rehana and tearing the movie apart....though loved akshay kumar in the movie....watching movies like plan, masti, fida, tumko na bhul payenge, and having fun with friends.,....getting stuck outside the hostel after coming back after the night show of jaan e man in jam nagar...wow those were the days...finally the watchman did get up n let me in...but i was indeed nervous for sometime...as i was alone in the hostel....for a couple of nights...just i think a couple more girls were there but they were not even on my floor,....so i was almost alone in the hostel...

rains: reminds me of the 26/7 rains.....final yr final exams were going on, n the schedule kept changing....and exams kept getting postponed or something and we cud not make a proper study schedule....rains also reminds me of getting stuck at dadar, agarwal classes being left early...sagar sudeep mayur n me going to bandra by bus and then waiting endlessly for the train...and then all of us travelling in the ladies compartment of the train coz the male compartment was just too full......

agarwal classes: reminds me of the best time i had travelling in train...fun with mayur sagar sudeep....standing in the train corridor, enjoying the breeze.....solving probabilty problems in the train....waiting for each other when the classes leave and then running to station to catch the 8 41 train, as the next train was at 9 directly...but never leaving before all the friends gathered, and never missing the train....still remember how we used to run to catch the train...the guys getting there ahead of me, but not climbing in the train till i got in the compartment....made some best friends there, nidhi and payal....remember nidhi comign to drop me home when my fever escalated to 106, because of sitting in the AC of the classes....

the scar on my hand: reminds me of the first denture i made...even remember the patient roopa gadkar...her face flashes before my eyes even today.....and i still remember how i worked overtime, with vivek to help me thru....remember i had even gone to her house to meet her when she failed to show up at the appointment i was so nervous when she missed a couple of appointments towards the end of denture making process....

pune: reminds me of the best time of my life.....the dental school....was just discussing with anchal (who also studied in pune) how fun pune life was....discussed about Horn ok Please, CCD on FC road, E Square, Inox, Smokin Joes on JM road and kulfi wala in deccan....how can forget the best gulab jamuns i have eaten at shagun chowk.......

pune also reminded me of the fun I rehana chitra and mohini had at teja's wedding...n how sad we were wen we were finally leaving pune, we cud not bear to look outside the windows and c the city pass so we had drawn the curtains of the volvo....we thought we wud not have a reason enuf to visit our favourite city again...but thankfully before coming to USA i did go to pune for mandar's wedding.....felt real good to be able to meet arshad, nitin, vivek before leaving india.....

today was listening to the song JAI HO, n it reminded me of the wonderful drive to nashik with arvind and sachin...Slumdog millionare had just been nominated for the oscars i think, n so every radio station was playing it constantly....and we were singing it almost the entire way.....it was FUN!!!!!! ...mom had packed some perfect picnic dishes...and the entire trip was so memorable, the drive was wonderful

wow.......feel so nostalgic!!!

song of the day: pehla pehla pyaar from HAHK...love this song, and it adds to the nostalgic mood...love madhuri...they dont make them like her anymore
