This was a wonderful space to hang out in and share our thoughts! But now we've all moved on and simply left our memories behind :-) ...

Know me better (Rajiv)

I'm going to keep this short and crisp.

1. People tell me I have the ability to get along with everyone and anyone. As Ishi says, "Rajiv can talk with the same comfort and ease with a paanwala or a CEO....or daddy!! (father in law)"

2. Besides the time that I sleep or I am around Ishi, I work work work....so yes, you could say I am a workoholic. It's good that I have both sat and sun off to rest and take it easy and even then I check my office mails 10 times a day!

3. I love watching hindi comedy movies to relax. My favorite being "Golmaal" (the old one) ! I can watch that anytime :-)
4. I love butter chicken. Anytime...any place...anywhere in the world. When in Germany I found a Pakistani cabbie who when he learnt of my yearning for some good butter chicken, took me to his fav joint and made my evening because I not only got to have butter chicken but also my old time fav "old monk' rum :))

5. I am a shopoholic!!! It's a weird thing really because usually it's the wife who spends! But here, I indulge her and my "sher Khan" (that's vedant btw) and she is the one who manages the money.

6. I can only gain weight :-( no matter how hard I try to lose it. No more comments on this point and I don't want any comments from anyone on this point (please make a note Ishita)

7. I go out of my way for people who matter to me. No mountain too high...no river too deep...I'll cross them all if I have to help those who matter.
8. Everyone insists that the above point is not true ... because I do that for almost everyone in need and not just for those who matter to me. Well in that case I guess everyone matters to me!

9. I hate it when people crib for trivial things. I believe one should never give up trying. Life is a big teacher. We have to keep learning and remember, no two days are the same.

10. I cherish my family.

Ps: Ishi help me add pics to this post! :).. I'm still not familiar with how to use the tools here @ bloggers. There is a pic lying on the desktop, please put that in for me :-)!

  11. ~*~ I have the ability to get along with everyone and anyone ~*~
    I wonder which profession you were in, in your previous birth but yes this is so true…… your skills always make a difference



    ~*~ I love butter chicken. Anytime...any place...anywhere in the world. ~*~
    Oh, bet you do man!! Big Brother I can’t count the number of meals we have had butter chicken :) :)

    ~*~ I am a shopoholic!!! It's a weird thing really because usually it's the wife who spends! But here, I indulge her and my "sher Khan" (that's vedant btw) and she is the one who manages the money ~*~
    This statement is like neighbour’s envy owner’s pride.

    ~*~ I can only gain weight :-( no matter how hard I try to lose it~*~
    OH yeah, I share the experience with you.

    ~*~ I go out of my way for people who matter to me. No mountain too high...no river too deep...I'll cross them all if I have to help those who matter. ~*~
    EXPERIENCED IT FAR TOO MANY TIMES

    ~*~ I guess everyone matters to me! ~*~
    This world is your family Rajiv; you can’t see anyone in pain…..even those who make the mistake of despising you. Wish they had known you better.

    ~*~ I hate it when people crib for trivial things. ~*~
    I laughed when I read this as it reminds me of all the times I have been walking down negativity lane, the yells I got from you.

    ~*~I believe one should never give up trying. Life is a big teacher. We have to keep learning and remember; no two days are the same. ~*~
    Yes bhai, you are right. So well said.
