23 Updates n still running...
I have always loved being a 'Sagi' - I adore (esply) these 4 fortnights for 1001 reasons:) Am unsure if its the Sagis' charm that is passed on to the months or if these months give Sagi all the power n charisma... all in all its a combo back - wanna see y?!
* The climate is just awesome - to be able to see the morning dew in a place like Chennai (where one is otherwise always roasted) it gives all the Chennaites a heavenly feel.
*No. 2 - The season of 'Marghazhi ' adds the best ever festive spirit where one not only gets to fall in love with Aandal (the lord's beloved) but also drool over Mr. Kahn, Himself.
* Then, there are these string of bdays n anniversaries - lots of cheers n lots of cakes (what more can i expect?!) U got something to celebrate almost everyday - so much ppl all around` - yay!
* Obviously, the invocation to all these starts in Parti (November Parade) that initiates the joyous atmosphere.
* n yeah culminates with carols - my favourite`
Just imagine u get a taste of both the cowherd Krishna n the shepherd Jesus in one single month - How about that?! :) (My Sweetums)
Archers have their niche style of making things magical - dont you think?! - a perfect way to bid adieu to the year that passed n welcome the new one ;)
Well, though these sentiments are mine that in no way means I had loved celebrating my birthdate... cos all I felt was "Jesus Chrsit! I am 23!!!..." It seems too old a number, don't u think :/ I was remembering this bit from 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' (One of America's popular sitcoms)
FRIENDS - The one where they all turn 30`
Isn't the bit hilarious?! No wonder Joey n Rachel created so much scene when they turned 30. "Duh!" Look at me :)
@ Office :- The highlight back in the corporate circle was the gift 4m my team-mates. People usually say that in corporate world the cordiality succumbs to cold vibes (keeping aside the fact that you dont feel cordial at all most of the times). Its kina a set back esply after one's evergreen college days. But for me, the team that i work with now is just awesome. I should say - 'we r like family' n i really love them. If the gifts were cute, the way they wrapped it was more cute - jus lovely! It showed they cared - Thank you gals! loved it :)
Shouldnt 4get Balaji - another fren` 4m office (he follows this blog). He got me an Italian perfume or whatever that is :) n a Shiridi Sai calendar! (2010 is gonu be great) loved it bala - thanks!
*~* the beloved's take:
The best ever thing that happened as i turned 23 (reluctantly) was Bhagwan's dream that night. Who else would love me better?! :) So, let's switch a bit to the dream -
"There is a long verandah adjacent to a hall (the feel is just like Parti Mandir) n Bhagwan is seated on the floor. I am the bday babe so obviously i enter the scene n catch hold of a wonderful place - perpendicular to Bhagwan, 15 feet away! Pretty soon, He turns to my side n calls me while I was lookin at Him with complete reverence fully enveloped by His grandeur - lost in the bliss that the proximity gave. The hrdaynivasi doesnt need much time to capture our hearts, rt?! :)
Since the verandah was a lil elevated, i stopped a few feet away as i didn't wanu sit on the same platform as Swami did - i felt that wouldn't be right n knelt down on the road. Swami shook His head - "No! No! Come up!" I implicitly followed His command, got onto where He was seated - I was very close that my knees touched His -wah! the sparshan! My eyes were glued onto Him waiting to see what awaited me... though this in itself took me to 7th heaven (i dont remember the next scene exactly) He either puts something on me or gives something to me.. but does it even matter as long as He gives it... Both of us raise together the next minute, Swami to my right - He then puts His left hand on my right shoulder and the duo posed for a picture :) SAY CHEESEEEEE :)"

Wow! isn't that lovely?! Well, He doesn't stop there, next morn (on my bday) while i was reading one of the books a picture of His fell on my lap with the words "Dreams related to God are real" How romantic - i love bday wishes at night n He gave me one. That said it all - it made my day! Thank you, Master - love ya loads...
"Where do I begin to tell a story of how great Sai's love can be?
The sweet love story that is older than the seas
The simple truth about the love He brings to me
Where do I start?”
(Sai - tumho dhadkan mein, khwabon mein, saso mein`)
“How long can this last?! Can love be measured by the hours in a day?!
I have no access - but this much I can say
I know i need Him till the stars all burn away
And He will be there!"
ps. thanks all who made my day...
