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 :-) ...

A special day with a fellow BUFer (Switchblade)

The one person who stands apart when it comes to picking a person who I'd like to spend my day with just happens to be Ishita.

So Ishi...When I first came across her blog about a year ago I was fascinated by the colors, sounds and pics she had used to decorate her page...after reading through a few posts I thought to myself...hey here's a really cool girl...Then I read that she was married and had a son too!!

This totally shattered my image of married women...somehow I couldn't conceive that a woman with a husband and a son could be 'cool' coz in my mind she'd get slotted into the 'aunty' category.
In short, Ishi helped destroy the rather narrow-minded and false image that I had...Thanks for that Ishi ;)


Ishi and Puki


Over the past year I've come to know her an extremely sensitive and caring person who totally loves her family and friends and is simply an amazing person to have as a friend. She has a lot to say and is very expressive in the way she pens things down...just have a look at her creative blog! How she manages to be a full time wife, mother and blogger at the same time never ceases to amaze me.

For our one day out we'd probably go walking through the market places in Delhi, letting the sights and sounds seep in...then we'd head off for a mushy English flick (along the lines of Notting Hill) and finish it off with nice dinner at some obscenely expensive place where we'd both complain about the sky high prices but still end up enjoying ourselves thoroughly :)

Looking forward to meeting you dear...Cheers and God bless!

  4. I dont know where to put this, so perhaps the most recent post is a default platform.

    Came to know about this pad, sometime back on Harjee's page. Found the concept really interesting, but then the blog would never load. Blaming the sys-ad, i left wondering what i had missed. Today when i finally see all this, i know what it has been.

    Kudos to all of you, for keeping a community really 'alive'.
