Tag3: I Like

I have been stale in the blog world yet again. Thank you Divyan (again!) for saving my day. I love tags; you at least have some kind of direction that you have to follow :)

There are more then 10 things I like in this world for sure. Here are some of my immediate likeness or say some of the things or days which makes my life a day simpler and nicer to look forward to another day.

MMTS:
I love MMTS. It saves my sanity EVERDAY. When I first joined my present company at HITEC City, we had shuttles and cab plying for our transport from different pick up points. It is torturous going through the traffic of Begumpet and Panjagutta circle around the 9-10:30 AMs lot where everyone in Hyderabad seems to be heading towards HITEC only. I used to reach office feeling as if I'd just returned from a short trip out of town. Then after a month someone introduced to MMTS which takes me tops 25 minutes to reach office! Now, I take the MMTS train from the necklace road station everyday. I go in 5-10 minutes early just to sit and stare at the lake. It just makes my day :)

Friends coming over: I still have some couple of friends who are research students at my old institute and I love having them over at my place. Just cooking, spending time, laughing at silly things, yapping away to glory, and going oh hum about our age at the end of the night are priceless moments that I am going to forever treasure. It won't be long before all of us embark on different directions in life.

Fresher's Day: Every year our church organizes a fresher's day for the students/new families /professionals who come to Hyderabad. It is that single year of the day wh
ere we all come together on a nice sunny day in a park and make the freshers welcome amidst fun, food and frolic. I am all 25 but man
man it didn't deter me and my other friends from scurrying around like mad playing games. What with all the little things going on in my life, I unexpectedly had so much fun that day! Here is me and Ase, supposedly under an umbrella but I still got tanned!

Songs:
Bap Kennedy - Moonlight Kiss: I have seen the movie
Serendipity for like 10 times over the course of 5 years. Thanks to Zee Studio and Hallmark for always repeating the show! There was this haunting song in the movie that I could never forget and I rekindled it by chance browsing through a friend's songlist. Now, Bap Kennedy - Moonlight Kiss is always on repeat. Amazing song!

Sting -Fields of Gold: Sting has been around since the time I knew music. Just realising his amazing journey from the Police days of "Every breath you take" to "Desert Rose" shows what a consistent artist he has been. I am not a Big fan but you cannot deny the greatness of an artist like Sting. I can't help but wonder how someone can write a song like "Fields of Gold" and then sing it to perfection like he does. Mankind is a marvel indeed :)

I Likes:
I like being in control of my life. Well, most of the time my life is anything but in control but I love the feeling of coming to my senses, taking a deep breath, realising that it's still ok and then smiling about it.

I like my new place. Life's pretty much changed for me the past 5-6 weeks. I used to live in this beautiful and spacious apartment with 5 of my girlfriends. We’d signed the lease for a year and it suddenly seems that the end of the lease poignantly signified our fate. We all had different plans; studies, change base, stick to present jobs etc. Now, me and another friend who decided to stick with our jobs got another apartment since we were so stuck up to share with anyone besides the people we knew and “trust” and well being stuck up means you do pay a price!
Anyways, the new place is not as swanky as the previous one but I somehow like it better. It's more homely and less complicated :)

mmmm I also like Facebook! It' s not open as Orkut or redundant as HI5. And the little things that you can do like playing quiz, buying virtual drinks and gifts for friends, asking random one liner questions etc are really cute.

The Vine gives me my daily bread these days and somehow, someway it always brings me to the ground :)

Now, I can't think of anymore random stuff to write :P
