I had totally forgotten that I own a blog site. Why did I open a blogging page at first place ? I wanted to vent out and I felt blogging is the best way for that. Well yes,so in that case am I staying content these days ? or do I hardly have anything to vent about ? Well, its a big NO! then what was the reason for me to stop writing ? I am assuming my work is keeping me busy. Anyways, I am setting myself a new goal to achieve - One blog per week. Lets see how it goes.....

Zumba dancing
Wow! I would call this a great week. Aimless surfing helps at times. Yep! When I was randomly browsing I just noticed a deal on Living socials - $22 for 10 classes of Zumba dance. Yippe!! there you go ! I grabbed it immediately. Yesterday was my first Zumba class - I would say I thoroughly enjoyed it.
If you are looking for advice to Zumba beginners, here you go :-
1. First of all, I would like to appreciate your decision to take up Zumba :-)
2. Zumba is a fun way of bringing out the Zeal in you!
3. Most important of all, Zumba is yet another workout model. Don't go out with an expectation that you or your trainer is a Shiamak Dawar
4. Perseverance pays! so hang in there if you didn't get the moves right the first time.
Enjoy and Have fun! Share your story of Zumba...

A journey through the most devastating Phase of my life.
It had been quite a while that I shared anything through my blog but this moment is so devastating that I felt penning down my grievance might soothe me a little.
For some it gets completely hard to speculate one's life after marriage while for many thats when their glittering life begins. unfortunately I fell on Category 1 while I very much wish to be on category 2. I had a very understanding better half, a good job to feel secure about and lots of relatives and friends to share their shoulders, despite I always felt a voidness in me , esp. an inexplicable pain that I was going through internally. while it appears less evident externally , not many were able to make out what I was going through including my better-half. It was a never ending need for having a child to share my space and keep me obsessed.
May be due to being influenced by text book life that taught me one's life stage starts with being with parent and enjoying the child-hood followed by adolescence, where you feel the urge to stand on your own feet, followed by youth when you graduate, secure a job, find a life partner, plan for your future and most important of all have a children to extend your family tree, followed by middle-age where-in you dedicate your entire life for your kids until they depart from you, while you retire from every hectic schedules . While I passed every stage of my life from childhood until now, be it graduating with a top grade or securing a wonderful job or finding a great partner, all with ease which was amazing until marriage after which I could not pass on to the next stage of being a mom. I felt my life cycle is abruptly paused and also that I can't skip to next level without completing what is expected from me at this stage as everything after this phase is greatly based on the output . ie having a child. While my hopes have not faded the feeling of being denied what I deserve makes it very troubling.
4 years since marriage is what everyone calls as 'high-time' to have a child. Standing on this milestone and expecting this moment terribly for 3 years , I did have my day once at a completely unexpected moment that showed me that I am indeed pregnant with a HPT. I was completely in quagmire and could not believe what i read from the tiny instrument. Entirely enthused I rushed to my husband to convey him the good news. Ironically he did'nt believe it until the doctors confirmed him from my blood tests and hormone level reading. I would not blame him as we had fate play with us everytime on this very aspect and had our disappointments.
Anyhow, after all the hardships I am indeed pregnant. I have my tiny sweetheart growing in me!!. I felt myself to be the most luckiest person on earth. I was indeed flying on air. I have no words to describe the days I spent thinking about the forthcoming days with my tiny one!! I was overwhelmed with the thoughts of holding my tiny one in my arms. All went in too very well until one day when my sky fell apart. I did miscarry the wonderful one I had been waiting for ages. If getting devasted emotionally wasn't enough the pain that I went through is almost similar to the delivery pain. Though painful, deliverying a baby will make you feel all that you go through is worth every moment but this is not the case with miscarriage.
I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason as planned by the almighty , I hope he had a plan with this one too.. Nevertheless I am eagerly waiting again for the precious moment, with the exception this time I will go on to hold my tiny little one in my arm :-)...

My hubby's 'dream come true' Car...
WELL!WELL!WELL! we have settled in this new city , nowthe next milestone is finding a perfect car. A perfect car in our terms is quite complicated (!)as it is not just the one that excels in mechanical terms like mileage etc... but meet our personal needs like the one that fits our 'more-than-all-complicated' family structure!!.
My inherited family is quite big (hubby's side) .Though we didn't start our family yet we do have too many relatives to fill in the void :-).Hence we had just one demand to define our perfect car. One to fit at-least 3 members comfortably in the back seats . 2. To have max compartments to fit the big cases of snacks that we carry along with us. After embarrassing the marketing executives at each and every office with our demands and running few many spreadsheets of comparison on different brands finally we found our "The perfect car "..... ------It's Hyundai Sonata......

Life in Redmond begins
In this dynamic world where nothing is constant but the change, I had to move from the scintillating city of Shanghai to Microsoft HQ, "The city of Redmond".
Never realized that I spent two and half years in Shanghai, yet thoroughly enjoyed each and every inch in the city with , wonderful friends, metro commutes, Chinese massages, authentic Chinese cuisines(a very few veggies that we get) , Herbal Green tea varities, Carrefours at stone-away far from my apartment at just 33rd floor,my HP office and friendly colleagues .. goes on and on.....
Anyhow Redmond is a nice place too.So with sweet memories of shanghai I moved on to Redmond...
Life in RTC (Redmond Town center) is altogether a different experience esp. for an hard-core Asian like me .Calm and peaceful shopping complexes , disciplined traffics & excellent parks, in precise a well-organized life Style.To know how much this city would influence me will be answerable only with time but looking ahead for yet another exciting experience in this beautiful city..... :-).............

Top 5 Worst and Best dressed Kollywood actors
On a Saturday morning, when loads of Personal work and official work are pressing me , I decided to give myself a break by dwelling into this no-benefit work for a while!!
Giving my brain a good activity ( which i seldom do!! ), I started formulating my list of TOP Best and Worst dressed Heros list of Kollywood. ( you can judge my astuteness here by my way of keeping away from blogging abt actresses :-P)
Anyways here you go with the List (For known reasons Rajini is not accounted in this list :-)) :
Best Dressed :
1. Kamal Hassan : When it comes to fashion, this man will ever lead this category for ages to come. There had been days of grey for this legend playing with poorest attire as a 'Chappani' in "pathinaru vayadinilae". But with Sarika ( his ex-wife) taking up his costume designing responsibility there had been no looking back for him. Be as a 'IPS- Raghavan' or as ' Pilot- Ram' this man presents a charisma in screen . For all his talent he deserves this First place.
2. Ajith Kumar : When it comes to fashion , this man is the perfect pick .. Be it donning a satin suits as 'BILLA' or with a extra facial hairs (krudha) for Asal, this man shows to Kollywood what fashion really means !!
3. Surya: The fashion icon of Tamil industry. He is the one to show to Kollywood that a astounding physique can be equally threatening like the punch dialogues. Though short height is a drawback, he perfectly judges his weakness and choses a attire that cud boast his personality. Call him a 'Trend-setter'
4. Silambarasan: It will be unfair on my part to miss this so-called younger generation actors. Though 'bad-boy' tag didn't go well in favor of this promising lad, his style quotient is remarkably good!! With his recent "Vinaithandi varuvaya" donning casual shirts and jeans this man treats the audience with his picture-perfect looks for the role.No doubt he entered 'heart-throb' category after this movie :-)
5. Arya: Be it 'street-smart' role as in "Arindhum ariyamalum" or a sanyasi in "Nan kadavul" or as a 'White-collar professional' in "sarvam", he brings us the perfect blend of Fashion in every attire he wears. A little facial hair goes in his favor for good-looks.
Worst Dressed:
1. Vijay : From someone who created trend sporting unique attires in Khushi's and Sachin went ahead wearing silk robes in Parrot green colors!! May be it wud have helped him catapult the right stroke for masses but lose the interest of Fashioners !!
2. Dhanush: Hughely criticised for his petite looks. Though having looks like a martial arts practicer he is unable to capatalize on it and win a ticket to Fashion city!!
3. Vishal: Tall height, slim figure, right smile but lack of good hair style or wadrobe collection has put him one step below in the fashion ladder. Wearing checked Shirts of 80's days is a big NO NO!!!
4. Bharath: ufff!!!! give me a break , please copy paste point 1. he is the upcoming xerox copy of Illayathalapathy !!
5. Jeeva : He is capable of picking right dresses for his role, but at times misses the fashion flight!!. One of the youth heros who could experiment different roles like Kamal, but when given the role for his age (chocolate boyish hero roles!! ) he misses to set a trend !!!....

Here comes another techie's story !!
I grew up in a era when computers were something very alien to people around me. The days when becoming a Engineer (commonly Civil ) or a Doctor was very popular. When asked about my aspiration at that age, even at dream I would say "Doctor". Kids who uttered other professions where looked down cheaply or considered not taught how to speak :-P ...
Having completed my bachelors in Electrical Engineering and Masters in Business administration, I ended-up being a software engineer. Not sure about what future has in hold for me, I started progressing with this profession, now after being 6 years plus into this world , has taught me ONE moral : -
"If you don't achieve what you desire, learn to desire what you achieved " ... ...
