Turning 40

I think it is over hyped - people make a big deal about turning 40. By the way, I did too on 11/10/2008. But it is over hyped...

Deelip saab's Bahu?

Minaal joined VERVE/Rolling Stone/Man'sW orld 2 weeks ago. The holding company belongs to Anand & Anuradha Mahindra. She works out of the Cecil Court office. Yesterday a security gaurd hesitantly approached her and inquired if she was Deelip Surve saab's bahu.
After she confirmed it , he told her that he had first met Deelip saab 33 years ago and said "woh to hamare liye bhagwan the'
Is that not the best epitaph that a man could ever want?

Toture Session Three Times A Week.

With much skepticism , I took on Harrison as a personal trainer. A month and a half later, I have lost noticeable inches and feel really good about myself.
I can't believe that I actually think before I gorge, don't eat carbohydrates at night, walk up 15 floors every odd day and most of all look forward to the work out session.

Another milestone crossed

Have'nt blogged for while... just too tied up with life. Feb.2008 we finalized our second home. A small villa in South Goa, up in the hills. Will take about 2 years to get ready.
Minaal and me have crossed a few of milestones together... marriage, home in Bandra and now a place in Goa. Could'nt have done this with her.

Met a lady who was a 100 years old

It was the first time I had met somebody that old. And it was also the first time that I met someone after they had expired. Minaal's paternal grandmother passed away at the age of 100 years & 11 months. I met her only after that. Strange na...

11.10.2007

It felt very strange to get a birthday card signed by only one of my parents.
Dad, i miss you.

It's been a year.

I last saw Dad on 1/10/2006. He looked calm and peaceful, strangely even handsome, but most of all dignified. Does the pain of loosing the anchor of your life ever go away?
I dont think so, you just learn how to bear it. The biggest irony of life is death.
