Flooded!!
>> Wednesday, September 10, 2008
Last week the city I live in was inundated by rain for precisely 2 hours for one day. The chaos that followed after that was a testimony of the exemplary planning of our city planners. Stuck in traffic for 3 hours, my heart went out to the people in Bihar who had been going through this for days on end.
The flood and the fact that we were one of the few organizations working when whole of Maharashtra was celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi had put me in a real cranky mood the next day too. However I was unaware that another flood awaited me. But this was a flood that brought back the smile on my face.
I t was a flood of happiness. The joy that someone actually likes being your friend. In this real world of fickle friends, it’s nice to know someone right across the globe calls you a friend!!!
Keshi sent across two great gifts, which I am going to treasure for a real long time. And the best Part is that I get to share this gift and spread cheer too. Talk of having the cake and eating it too!!
almost had an acceptance speech made up).Iwonderif I even really deserve this. I pass this on to some of the most brilliant bloggers around.

First of all congratulations on the awards! Richly deserved too I must say. I may not comment due to lack of time, but I do drop in here from time to time! :) And humble thanks for the acknowledgments too! :)
And now for my speech, I would like to thank God without home this would not have been possible *sniff*...and my family, dogs, neighbors and their dogs, their neighbors and their dogs, my entire crew of one writer who labors unpaid with two blogs *sob* and her lazy editor who was never once caught on the job and *bawl* I am sorry I cannot continue....this is too emotional a moment for me. I have waited so many years and finally...THANK YOU GOD!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!*muuuuaaah*

I dont want to be funny about this award like silverine has just done..How could she possibly think it was funny!!..I am very serious about it, as it takes me back to my old struggling days when I browsed under street lights...youtubed at 5 kbps speeds...and read blogs jumping firewalls..*hot presenter comes over and puts her hand on my shoulder*...
ayyo...pinee *loses rest of the script in excitment*

I really do not know if i deserve this. But I would like to thank my Athlon Processor for putting up with my hours of non-creative blank stares at the monitor while i struggle hard to churn out something remotely creative ;). also i wud like to thank the dogs that i am going to adopt in the next couple of years :D
u take care babes...hope the roads are better now (lmao) ;) did u watch rock on? the idea that u can resurrect urself post-30 is quite appealing to me ;)
@Neena: welcome :)
Hope you had a great Onam!!
@Durba: You know you deserve this and a lot more :). Rock on was rocking , especially Farhan!! It does give hope to us techie types, there is a life beyong the keyboard and monitor, waiting to be explored :).

@Shantanu: Yes Boss as you say !! :)
