My meetings with strangers always have a story and this one is not an exception!
It was Saturday night. Say about 8.30 pm.
I was walking in MG road, on my way to Shivaji Nagar bus stop.
Usually I leave early from office, but that day work kept me busy until 8! So me and another friend of mine were literally running to the bus stop. It was quite a distance though.
We were walking in the road exactly opposite to Manipal Center. It's usually quite. That day, even worse. Much quieter and dark too. With breezy weather, one tends to enjoy such a walk!
Just then I unusually saw two women dressed in a bizarre way. One lady, quite huge, was wearing a saree with plunging neck line. The other was wearing a normal salwar but that was also quite revealing! Both were standing in the corner of the platform, smiling at all the male drivers in the cars which passed by.
It took me about a minute to sense that they were prostitutes! Honestly, I was scared. I had to pass by them. The lady in the saree gave me a cold stare. I was looking down and ran as fast as I could!
Finally reached the bus stop. Got a seat and phoned my sister and all I had to talk was about her! It's quiet strange, the way they lead their lives!

That was one helluva party!!
I always hated parties.
In my dictionary parties, discs and pubs are one reason for all the men in this world to touch women unnecessarily! I mean they go about touching women all over and they just don't realize how irritating it can get![I know few wannabes do enjoy]
Loud music that can tear apart my ear drum, the area filled with smoke and dancing or rather falling on each other is something I just don't prefer. That's one of the reasons why I avoid going to parties! The other being me not a part of this 'Oh so, wannabe gang'! [Oh God, Thankfully]
When my editor asked me to cover this party last night, I was shocked and surprised. I mean, they sort of know I am not this party material who would jump and grab the invitation! But still, they chose me! I had no choice but to go. They gave me an offer of taking friends along. Thankfully, I had guru. She has always been there when I needed her the most. Be it studying together, shopping or during times of emergency, like this one!
Me and guru decided to leave to Fuga [Supposedly, one of the hottest taverns in Blore] and be there at about 8.30 pm! We met there and was denied entry! LOL... We had to tell them that we are from the press and behave like this 'I am -very- interested -to -cover- ur- party' sorts!
Yay, they finally let us in! I went in to find a world by itself. You walk in the red lit glass floor and almost feel like stepping inside a place that never existed before! Fuga is awesome. Has about two floors, a pretty moderately sized dance floor and a pretty decent lounge bar!
Ok, now this is completely new to me! Seeing girls in uneasy outfits, weird men nodding their heads in a weird way, scary crowd, men and women tumbling all over the place and what not!
Guru and me got a drink for ourselves and set to the first floor! Since its been long since we met, we had loads to speak. But with loud music hitting our ear drum, we barely heard each other!
We spent quite some time gazing at those hot men and yeah a few women also ;-) and headed to the dance floor. I saw Nikhil Chinnapa, DJ Ivan and DJ Markus Schutz playing feet tapping music that made the crowd dance like never before! The place was chock-a-blocked with young chaps going boogie woogie!
We decided to move out after sometime. Silence is what I get! Moving out from a noisy, busy and boisterous place to the world 'I' belong to!
Oh, Freaking Lord, whatte party it was!!
*Jigging quietly*
Shar!

I don't know now if I like or dislike parties. All I can advice you is, please take someone with you while partying! NEVER go alone unless you hate people! If your a spectator, have a drink, sit quietly and move out like how I did! :P

Louing eett!!
Yes, am louing it! But louing what ?
My internship in Bangalore! I must say it's going in great guns! Never had a internship like this before. When compared to the last one I did in ANI, this one is rocking!
Just imagine you write all day and keep filing stories! And write what ? Features all day! Write on topics that you always don't talk much about and keep tickling your mind always to get new ideas! Isn't that lovely ?
A cubicle for an intern, a nice cute comp, no dress code (It doesn't matter anyways, am more of a kurta person!), a nice boss (unlike my previous boss! Gawd, how much I hated him! :P), a nice team of colleagues who don't throw attitude... wah wah... my dream work environment. Am sure GOD is making a note of it!
Hope it goes in great guns till this month end!
Cya all later! Will post soon!
Ore the loues,
Shar! :)

KICK START!
I just can't believe that this is my first post in 2009! Don't know what made me hold for the past two months! I was working...rather slogging to finish my projects, seminars, campaign and crap. It's typical for our college to give these crap at the last minute! God knows when they'll understand us!?!
I'll cut the crap now!
I had a great start! New year was so much fun with Vidya, Prabhu and Taarika. No matter how many ever new years come, I've silently made a promise to myself that I will celebrate only with them...and only in Bangalore! They are the most enthusistic couple that I've met so far! For all the food and drinks, the deserve a *hug*.. And bangalore is -the-place, I say!
I have to mention the street where Vidya stays! People are so so nice... enthu pataniiss!! I sometimes envy her. I think one should be lucky enough to get neighbors like that - very nice people, enthusiasts, fun loving and make great neighbors!!
My birthday was also fun! Appa & Amma surprised me with a cake and so did my School & College friends!! :) :) *hugs again*
After that, my life was screwed! With so many deadlines to meet, I went M.A.D! I am still M.A.D!
But blogging after a really really long time, feels great! :) :) Wil promise to post often!
Smiles :)

An unforgettable Wednesday
Mumbai terrorism attacks – something no Indian would have imagined that would happen to us. An attack which had an impact on every true Indian! An attack which is going on for 3 days which we have never witnessed before!
Well, what is happening to our country?
2008 is a bad year for us. Starting from Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Jaipur… we are witnessing so many terrorists’ attacks this year. Even after our country has been hit by so many attacks, we are still unable to zero-in on the perpetrator!
Frankly, all the blasts occurred except Mumbai had very less impact on me. I just prayed that everyone should be fine.
But today after seeing Mumbai suffer, I can hear my heart beats go in a rapid pace, a silent prayer goes through my mind, eyes filled with tears and that conveys helplessness and a sense of fear that prevails in me even now.. when I type this.
At this point I am really scared to step out of my house. I feel there is no positive vibes out here. I just want to say ‘enough is enough we can’t take it anymore’!
I want to just put down my thoughts here and show my anger. I just want to point out on the people whom I just hate now and show them what they have not done. But am just scared to go on.. .I sense now that the liberty to express has gone haywire! The blasts have just scared the hell out of me! I just want to say one thing “F**K them”!
I want to end here by thanking the NSG force and the various heros who have helped the people who have been trapped and especially the NSG for shooting the accused! Hats off to them and am just so proud how strong our army force is! It simply implies ‘Dude even if you take 3 days or 4 days, we are not gonna leave you alive’!
With a silent prayer for the people who have lost their lives, I sign off!

I really want to appreciate NDTV for their outstanding coverage on this. Personally I liked the way the news was presented by them. Especially Pranoy Roy for his comments that hooked me to write this! Well, I don’t have a legal platform to comment on this, am just happy that someone who is well learnt about all the sides is doing our job!
