Fun times with my dad - part 2

I love the early morning walks we go for.. well, it doesn really happen often these days but when it does, its real nice. We go to this place called Theosophical Society, which is kinda like a private place for walkers.. Its an amazing route with a varied species of trees from various places and the walk leads you to that part of the beach which is serene and beautiful where you can see the estuary of the adyar river.. well, its quite a site from the distance atleast :) it also has a bridge which we often refer to as "the broken bridge" cos it broke during a rainstorm when it got hit by a lightning long back and hasnt really been fixed since then.. well it definitely serves as a wonderful place to sit and jus watch the sunrise at the estuary with a lovely seebreeze lifting ur hair off ur shoulders..
My dad tells me about the different kinds of birds he identified or his friend showed him.. He talks about the new species of plants they bring in to the nursery there and especially about the teak trees over there with pride!

and sometimes he even encourages me to do some kutti kutti things which are not really "right".. :) well they don really have bad consequences or anything but still.. We'd tresspass into the nursery and he showed me a plant called lemon-grass, which when u crush smells exxactly like 7-up or sprite.. and once he showed me turtles in a well inside..

There is a stretch where we usually jog and i'm not comfortable talking as i'm jogging cos i start panting and i get irritated when ppl talk as they jog cos i don understand wat they're saying and i definitely don want them to repeat it but my dad jus keeps talking as he's panting.. he never stops even when i tell him its irritating.. and this sem-hols also when we jogged he was talking but this time i jus smiled to myself.. he's not changed :) and it kinda jus reminded me of the previous incidents which frankly seemed quite funny now..

Its here where we've had a lot of our serious convo's.. about society, plants, wildlife crisis, govts, people, inflation and loads of other stuff.. And he loves to talk about small small things that fascinate him maybe a flower which he spotted which looks really different or the annie besant memorial he found or the tamarind fruit or neem fruit which we eat on our way.. Once he read about mangroves on metroplus and he was very excited when he remembered that he's seen it in TS..
And when we reach the beach we have our back-bend competition.. well thats probably the only thing i learnt from the gym classes which were held in school.. haha.. thats always fun cos u'll jus understand him jus from that.. He's an impatient man who wants the end result but will put the effort only if he really wants to.. u can see it from the way he hurriedly bends backwards and ends up coming back to standing as fast as he went half-way down or sometimes falls..

He's a really amazing person who enjoys every bit of watevr he does and does only stuff he enjoys.. and he inspires me for that and definitely more.. :)

Fun times with my dad - part 1

Well one of the things i enjoy doing with my dad, or rather for him is making a music cd for him which he listens to while driving his car. The first time i did it we dint have much time to discuss what exactly he wanted so i made something which i'd love to listen.. well, as it turns out, he had a different taste. So today i asked him to choose some songs from whatever i had and it was total fun cos i was trying to convince him that some songs were just AMAZING and forced him to listen to them but he always ended up saying.. "u know, the songs are reeally nice.. i just don like 'em!! ". lol.. :D and then the convo shifts to how he finds the song nice but not like them at the same time.. and he comes up with something for everything.. and i question that also n it just goes on and on until i finally end it with a "fine, fine. watever!".
I played a song and told him "u liked this remember?? " and he says "oh god! no! not this.. definitely no.. tch tch.. its boring.." and for some "ur sister would like all this.. cha chah.. slow stuff.. i like fast ones! " which made me think "boys will be boys".. even if its ur dad, he's a guy first! and he's not gonna appreciate slow melodies..
And sometimes he's forgotten the name and the lyrics of the song he badly wants, and we sit and figure out the song with just one word he remembers or some cast in the movie n he tries singing it to me but im totally clueless or probably more off the track bcos of that.. lol
Its just total fun to listen to his comments on all the songs n stuff.. its more fun when i force him to listen some song, even though he says he doesn like it, by saying "i'm the one making the cd.. so u better try and concentrate and listen to this sond for that atleast.. ".. He'd wait till the end of the song and say.. "hmmm.......... no" and then laugh, i'd say "if u laugh, i'll make u listen to it again"- "aiyyo.. no no.. even the previous song was better" - "so, i'll put that??" - "no!".. my god! lol.. :D its just fun..

My fantasy come true.. :)

It began like how any other trip, except this was gonna be more exciting cos it was jus the 2 of us.. the 2 girls!! :D I packed my bags with a big smile on my face.. i already had a very good feeling about the whole trip. Well, the train journey braught my enthu almost to a nil cos it was so damn long and boring, and not to mention sticky.. urghh! But once i reached there i had some of the best mornings i would have ever had in probably my whole life..

I woke up in a 9th floor apartments' cleanest bedroom on an awfully comfortable bed, with the cold morning breeze blowing in through the huge french windows, which overlooked a huge beautiful lake.. man it was sexy!! i have this slow morning, waking up peacefully, feeling happy for no reason and pick up a cup of hot-hot chaai and sit on the bean bag, stretch my legs on the sides of the french window with sliding glass doors.. aaahh.. perfect! :)

Since my sister had gone for work that day, I decide to roam around a bit so i get dressed, helping myself to her lovely collection of clothes and pick up the umbrella as it was mildly drizzling.. The place had buildings of european style and so the whole area looks just gorgeous and so damn classy! That night she took me out for a late dinner at around 930 and that was the first time i had a sizzler.. Man.. it was jus awesome, specially in that cold weather.. Then we walked back at around 11-ish, on the road that banks the lake.. The place is huge with tall buildings.. and with all the light reflecting from the surface of the water, it looks unimaginably beautiful... We walked back lazily singing our favourite songs of Bryan Adams and just enjoying every second.. It was just amazing.. :)

And finally, to top it all off, i travelled in the local trains on a rainy night, all the way from Kolaba cosway(not sure how its spelt), when there was no crowd at all!! We were almost the only people in our compartment and we stood near the entrance just feeling the amazingly cold rain on our faces and just talking..

Man i miss this sooo much!! I wanna come again, neej!! :D
I never really fantasized about something like this.. but i definitely do now!!

p.s... plz spons flight tickets :)

Brighter Than Sunshine..

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, i don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
and it's brighter than sunshine

I hardly listen to much of music. But when i like something, i play it over and over and over again. Sometimes i even wake up with that in my head.. its awesome :) This is one of them.. Thank you neej!! what ll i do without u n ur emule :)
