Life has to move on...


The peephole and the purple door


As the final episode of FRIENDS ended, my mind flew to my old friends and my old home/room 311. I thought that I can watch all the ~200 episodes again and relive the life of Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey. But I will never find those 6 years of my life again. They will remain just in my memories, which I revisit often. I hate moving on...


The usual scene of my room (that was). The chair in view was a silent spectator of million hugs, laughters and some tears. Snacking. Reading news-paper. Random net-surfing. Not to forget the tv-viewing.



After the room was cleaned the last time and fresh bed-sheets were laid



Last bunch of flowers I got to 311


The table full of random things and the book-shelf


The table and the shelf, as they looked when I left them (with the lone rose)


The wall with several art-pieces and the bed-side shelf


The same



A few of my old possessions in the current new surrounding


Same old flowers in my new home

Hey Shazia , I would like to return your compliment.. I had fun reading your posts too ..you bet we think alike (I love F.R.I.E.N.D.S too)! I am not too surprised though ,what with both of us being Saggis and all :)

So sweet, Shazia. I did not think of the last episode of Friends like that when I saw it or even when you told me that you did. Life indeed must move on; that's the spirit to keep alive! The new home looks cute :) Muah.

@ Sujaan
Don't you miss the face-wash and other cosmetics out of that cupboard? :)

@ Mugdha
Thanks :). And yes the similarity in thought can be explained partly by both of us being Saggis.

@ Angika
After I saw the last episode I wanted to talk to somebody really badly, that's why I messaged you. You were the only FRIENDS lover who i guessed would be awake at that hour. :)
Will post more pics of here later.

@ Senthil
Tumhara plane to mere saath Bhubaneswar bhi aaya hai. Uski photo dekhni hai? :)

Well ya life has to move on... It was a very touchy episode, and amidst all sadness i did got a smile when Joey said "Has it always been purple?".

So moral of the story is, there is always something to cheer about no matter how sad the situation is... :)

@ CAT
It was a touching episode. I felt as if my friends are departing.
And you forgot what Chandler says in reply to Rachel's suggestion of having coffee before leaving... He said "Where?" :)

@ Myoori
Love you dear. :)

A poem from childhood...

"Long legged Italy, kicked poor Sicily In the middle of Mediterranean Sea. Austria was Hungary Took a bit of Turkey Fried it in Japan Dipped it in Greece...." I remember only this much. This poem was my first attempt at learning the names of these countries and locating them on the map of the world. And I thought Austria and Australia were same. :-) It's time to confirm that I was wrong at that point of time, some twenty years back...

Drama on Lauh-pad-gamini

For those who don't know what is 'Lauh-pad-gamini' , it means 'train' (I learnt that from Chupke Chupke ). And let me re-emphasize the fact that I love train journeys. One of them is over and the other is round the corner. The reason for the upcoming journey deserves another post and I will write about it later. If life is a journey, I would like it to be a train journey. That's what the new look of my blog says too. The other day I was talking to a friend and this question came up "How do you think life has changed you?" There are so many things but the first thing which came in my head was: I have learnt to extract joy from 'little' things in life and even the otherwise 'major' things can't keep my spirits down for long. Yes, things do affect me but I have learnt to move on. But this post is not about lessons of life. It is about 'trains' and 'movies', which occupy a special position in my life. :) There are so ma

I like 'Blue'

After working on my thesis (and doing some time-pass) whole night, I happened to peep out of the window and look at the striking shade of blue in the sky. I immediately looked around for my camera. It took some 90 seconds before I could click this photo and in that span of time the coloour of the sky changed a bit. Nevertheless, it is still very near to (but not exactly) the 'blue' which I like. I am neither very fond of a particular colour (except mauve and lilac) or hate a particular colour. I remember that as a child I didn't like 'yellow' at all. As I grew up, in my mind I started associating colours with different things. E.g. I like 'yellow' when it is a flower which I am looking at (and not Tata Nano or any other car). I would never wear a bright-yellow dress, but that doesn't mean I don't like the colour. Similarly, I love certain shades of 'blue' which look best in a sky or in a water body. Looking at any of my favourite colours (or
