Mornings with Sunday - Part 1

So consulting is taking its toll...i just had a straight 40-hr stint at work last week....40 straight hours...nothing gay abt tht....no bath...no brushing teeth...no (yes..) shitting...and yeah...just 40 straight hrs infront of the laptop....

this project has been tight...plus it sucks to be away from home...yet continue to pay the friggin bills!...

so...to have more time by ourselves...R and I have decided on something that I call...

"Mornings with Sunday"

Every (ar atleast every other) Sunday, we will pick up a destination...wherever we are...and scan that place. largely monuments, maybe temples...(though i doubt she would go..)...maybe parks...whatever..! the idea being...

1. we get to spend time by ourselves...away from cellphones and people who call up and ask "sir do you require a personal loan"...and i reply.."yes yes...thank god you called...i need a crore in the next 2 hrs"..."sorry wrong number, sir"...!

2. i get to click the place...which is oh so relaxing...

3. she gets to do her morning walk...and scan new places...


So...its been 2 weeks since we have been doing so...and the first visit was to Surajkund. The preps for the craft mela were on...so part of that has been captured...! lovely experience...

I share the snaps

Kuch Is Tara

I have to thank SL for the song...its truly the best gift she could have given me...



at 12.49am...after you have been up for 20 hrs...and have gone without food for 8 hrs...the power of music is such that it forces you to write...to express...to feel...



i never knew i would say this so soon...but i hate consulting when it comes to staying away from home...it just doesnt feel worth it....but i know that something will make me wake up tomorrow...all charged up...willing to conduct interviews with CEOs and then eye excel sheets till the sun drops dead...



such is life...



btw...i have decided to start a series by the name of "Mornings with Sunday". Wherein R and I will head out for a location...wherever we are...every other Sunday, for a photo expedition and a general 'get to know the place' kind of trip.



We started last sunday with Surajkund, Haryana. Will share the snaps and the experience soon...once am home.

life's good...kuch is tara...

Alienwan 2008 - the 10 point YES

Before anyone asks, let me give you the answers

1. Yes, the marriage did happen...check out the snaps at www.picasaweb.google.com/warikoo

2. Yes, married life is actually good...and there is nothing to be scared of. However, you should be fine with the fact that there no longer exists the concept of 'sleeping on the bed as if you own it' or 'i am just going to surf porn for the next 2 hrs cause i got nothing better to do' or 'i will only watch NDTV cause that the only channel with a brain' or 'no one read my sms - do you get it?'

3. Yes, I watched Taare Zameen Par and think it yet another confirmation on the phenomenon called Aamir Khan. Needless to say, the movie has and will continue to move a lot of people...including the baby girl in the bus who will grow up to realize that Aamir Khan himself helped her mum change the nappy. Its surely an entry for the Oscars this year and I wont be surprised if karan marries Shahrukh...err...delete delete...the movie wins..!

4. Yes, life has been crazy ever since we have come back from the honeymoon...both work-wise and personally. After much deliberation we decided to stay with my parents, but not before we had bought everything for the new house. So a distress sale happened...some people got lucky and some people just realized why a distress sale is called so...

5. Yes, we have tried to get our marriage registered...but the government still believe that a gazetted officer is required to attest the photo...cause heck...the passport with the snap just isnt enough...! and there are still some people who think citizens will pay 2K to get the certificate done in a day. Did anyone tell them that the certificate is not so much required by the couple than by the government???

6. Yes, I did get promoted! which felt great cause I wasnt expecting it.

7. YES...YES...YES....i am broke after marriage...at one point of time i had exactly 69 bucks in my account...and the only position that should come to your mind reading the figure is bankruptcy and not something else...

8. Yes...secondshaadi is doing fantastic....has broken even...and we are right now in profits. TV campaign scheduled to start soon...and our new venture is coming up on feb 2008. watch out for it...

9. Yes, I have decided on a few to-dos for this year...get some lessons in photography, go on atleast 3 photo-expeditions, start seriously thinking about quitting work and starting something on my own, get a car for parents, get working on my house and yes...blog atleast 100 posts this year...

10. yes...yessss...yessssss...yesssssssssss....ooops..sorry...got busy with something else...

enjoy 2008 folks...!
