Indian Rupee Identified !!!

Yeah. There is a new way of representing Indian Rupee. I really would love to punch it directly from my keyboard, but not yet given an opportunity for that. Though, who can stop me from putting it over here. So, here comes my pic of Indian Rupee.

To talk about Indian Rupees in my version, I need to take you way back to my kinder garden days. It was described by my mom, one of the scene she cherishes (must be, since its been a long time and still she remembers it..). I remember it in a vague way, though I would love to hear it from my mom again and again. Such an addicting pleasure!!
Me being brought up at my grand parents place, my parents weekend visits were more like a celebration to me. Saturdays & Sundays are heavens, Monday mornings are hell !! I know heaven & hell at KG age. Believe me !! Which KG child can withstand leaving the parents (that too for a full week) and going to school at the same time?? My dad, being the lenient would stay till lunch to spend a small together time with me. Mom being physically present and mentally thinking about the reasons she can quote to her superior for the late show. So the half hour lunch break on Mondays is the best time during the KG days. After the usual Sambar Rice / Rasam Rice, I would definitely opt for an icecream. And you know what, kids are not allowed outside the school during lunch break and I am a "I Want It Now" kiddo ;) So my Dad would run to the street corner and come back with an Arun IceCream Cup. It would've half melted by then. It doesn't matter to me. Coming to the Rupee part, Arun Icecream was Rs.9 /cup at that time. And, when my dad comes back with the cup, I will always ask him this. "Daddy, Andha 1 Rupeeeeeezzzz thaa" ("Daddy give me that 1 Rupeeeeeezzzz"). Even if he had brought it with exact change, I would always ask for that 1 Rupeeeeeezzzz.

 So many Rupees experiences, but as of now lets fast forward to my College days.. My neighbor and me would love to go to local bakery shops in the evening. And what's gonna stop us. Indeed, Rupees !! :) Yeah. Dad is always the last stop ( or the first ;).. ) to get the Rupees. Its always Rs. 30 /- with which we can buy a small pizza and a slice of black forest. Oh ! Good old days !!

Years have passed...

Years have passed...

It did. You made us go through yet another year without your existense. What am I thinking ??

May be, everything has a reason. May be, you wanted to stay with us as close as you want. May be, there is no control on everything. May be, the truth is the harsh reality. May be, this is how it has to happen. And there are so many may be's and yet Mom and me couldn't find one reason that satisfies us.

You being physically absent is'nt easy for any one of us, though the thought of you being present somewhere next to us makes the living. Hope you had seen all the joys I went through this year and as always, you are the first I share it with. I believe, the good coincidences happens by your wishes and I am hoping that it happens again and again for us. Dad, We miss you and I am sure we will miss you forever.

Trip to NY

I wanted to share some pics of our NY trip. You see.. I am not gonna share the posing pics here. Just some poster pics with whats on my mind stuff.. So here they are..

Hudson River at Sunset... Got to take a pic of it, since the first thing that comes to my mind about it is the flight getting landed up in the river.. Oh no !! I cant even imagine it. Think of the people who experienced it and moreover in the month of Jan.. Unimaginable..

Here is the next one. Took it from Empire State Building and can you guess what's more interesting there? Have a good look at the pic and think about it..

Ok.. Ok.. Its the liberty statue. If you could see it more carefully, again (I know :D ), you could see two islands. From the right, the first one is the Ellis Island and the second is the Liberty Island. Alright, here is the big picture :)

Now, I dont want to disappoint you all. Here are some living beings. Me and sash having a very serious conversation. She had her own doubts about the place..and ofcourse, with the Manhattan background.

Thats it for now !!
