Excuses I Can't Stand... (Keshi)
Friday, November 16, 2007
Here's a sudden revelation. I know some are still celebrating Diwali, some of us are overloaded with work, exams, and some others are busy with family affairs and some like me have alot on their plate right now though I don't say it. So is anyone here totally free and jobless? Guess not. And no one is totally away from their PCs either. I might seem jobless to you cos I'm here everyday just like Cheesy, Amit, Michi, Sushmita, Ammu, Sam and Aakash are, but the truth is we are not jobless...atleast we say Hi whenever we can. But the rest of the BUFers have vanished just like that. ahaa hold on before you defend yourselves! Just like you, we have work and life's other events to attend to. No we don't have too much free time on our hands either. And no one's stresses can be compared to another's but we are still here. Just that we have a bit more of dedication, perhaps we care a bit more than you do about BUF? Go ahead be upset with me for saying that, but I'm being honest here...and you know I can't say sweet nothings just to please people. WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE? Just because Ish is away (we know she told us that she's going to be away for a while), looks like everyone else has taken that post as their notice of a 'Break from BUF' too!

I see no point being around here when everyone else is on a break...when everyone else don't feel the same way about this place like very few here do. So I wish to be away from BUF as well, perhaps till next year? This is not so that I can feel better about myself by joining you all in being absent, but it's cos I'm bored coming here everyday to find no one around - to realise that only very few here take online FRIENDSHIP seriously...cos it's only words I see and no action. I know a truckload of comments and instant action might follow this post but that doesn't prove anything...cos for weeks this space has been abandoned and hence this post was written. Maybe it's time for me to take a break as well? See yous don't-know-when, have fun!

Light Up! (Keshi)
Thursday, November 8, 2007
(I have this post in my blog as well. So here it is again for all BUFers)
















Just like the lamps, just like the prayers, may everyone have light in their lives to conquer differences and see the similarities (in other words, to diminish darkness and bask in the light). May all beings around the world be happy. HAPPY DIWALI(/DEEPAVALI) TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND THEIR FAMILIES!

True Colors (Keshi)
Tuesday, October 30, 2007
This is a real photo of a rainbow providing a colorful backdrop for the golden dome of the Alexander Nevski Cathedral after a rain shower, in Sofia, Bulgaria. Taken by Vassil Doney.

I think nature produces the best colors by default design. Nothing can replace nature's true colors.

Color Of My Heart (Keshi)
Wednesday, October 24, 2007
This is a pic taken by me last Spring at the Tulip festival in Canberra. When I look at this colorful pic, it reminds me of different people with different hearts. We all have the same heart but we portray different colors (all good I hope). Tell me...what color is your heart and why?

The Great Extinction (Keshi)
Friday, October 5, 2007
(This was an old post from my personal blog...I just felt like putting it up here so people can laugh a little...just like how Poo thinks we should smile often...so enjoy guys!)

Genre: Humor (so chillax).

Ladies and (sometimes-not-so) Gentlemen, it seems like my love-life is in extinction. Therefore do I even have to tell you about my rather invisible sex-life? It's as dead as the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Precious fossils of it can be found in my mental museum. Well I'm not complaining cos I think this is how it was all laid out for me by the old man upstairs - maybe He knew where it would have taken me and slowed the pace after a few demented Dinosaurs. Just like wildlife protection is necesssary, Keshi's love-life protection is indeed required but it has no funds or organisations around it. No one seems to be even thinking it's an endangered species - most of them see it as a nutty species that need to be left alone. Anyways as endangered as I may feel, I also feel a great sense of relief that my love-life is near-death. Cos it lets me look around without bias and selfishness. I don't mean that people who have a love-life are selfish, but having a love-life in full swing sometimes makes you blind to other areas in life. Been there done that, so I'm talking about me, not you. Well the number of BFs I have had in the past (according to my love-life stats) is quite a healthy number and although that number is dwindling right now resembling the white Rhinoceros' count, I don't think my love-life needs to be secured in a sanctuary somewhere in Africa! Sometimes I do feel like I'm a rare species that's being oohed and ahhed at by a group of people on a safari. Anyways why do I think my love-life is in extinction? Well this is why:

**Potential partners only exist in the past/movies/blogs and is as rare as spotting a Giant Panda on any Tuesday
**Everytime my Blue-bellied Parrot of a love-life gets lucky, there's always a habitat killer
**When I do find a great guy, in the end it turns out to be that he was just hunting for my 'tusks' - leaves me feeling like an African Elephant
**When things get serious in my love-life, the very next day it mocks back at me like a Hybrid Spider Monkey and asks me to get real
**Each time I try to recall my last romantic encounter, I laugh like a Gorilla - not cos it's funny but cos the 'last time' seems like it was 100yrs ago
**Old aunts remind me that I'm running around without a man for some time now and that it's really uncommon in our family as much as the Red Wolf is in the world
**I'm receiving alot of wedding invitations these days (most of the brides are younger than me) and usually I end up being the only Snow Leopard at these weddings
**My mum says I'd be married to my car and closet forever, and each time she says that I disappear in a dash like the Pygmy Possum
**A friend brings a marriage proposal (for the 1st and the last time) and when I meet him he turns out to be a hairy-nosed Wombat - yes rare but wouldn't mind his extinction

**The opposite sex who is the responsible care-taker of my love-life seems to be pouncing away from me like a Sumatran Tiger that's being hunted for skin
**A great catch is as rare as a Silver Shark is and it seems such guys see me as a common over-populated kind of shark

**I feel as blue as the Blue Whale when I go to parties and see couples hugging and kissing that makes me wonder if I'm the only Brontosaurus left on Earth

**Mistletoe seems like some long-lost memory of a Short-tailed Chinchilla

**Going back to memories of past BFs and relationships makes me feel like I'm walking in Jurassic Park
**However, to me marriage sounds like a Californian Condor out to get it's prey so its really ok guys, I'm cool, don't shower me with sympathies now pleeeeeease ;-)

Words Are Not Enough (Keshi)
Tuesday, October 2, 2007
I wanted to write something about the recent happenings in BUF. As an emotionally involved member of BUF, I think I have a right to say something here regarding the 'neglect' of BUF from some members. I don't mean to force them to be here all the time, but if you commit to something and become a member, perhaps you need to contribute to the life of this blog more than you think you should. You can't be a member and not come around to this blog in 3months, then suddenly come back and expect to be treated like you're part of it all. I can understand Ishi's frustration...it's like she's running the whole show alone (when she's also a wife and a mother), when everyone else is having fun at her expense. I don't know, that's how I feel about it. We all expect her to put up Updates, Bday/anniversary dedications, Topic info etc etc and all we do is come here every now and then (whenever we want to) and then disappear for another few weeks or so. Is that fair? I think not. While I know everyone is busy and we all have our own problems to deal with etc, it's not all that hard to come around to BUF and contribute, especially if you wanted to be a member here in the first place, isn't it? So, apart from just participating in weekly posts, it would be great if members can try and make an effort to keep this place alive...perhaps by visiting it every now and then, reading the updates and contributing to this space with ideas, keeping connections through the SB, perhaps helping out with the ADMIN tasks etc etc. If not, it's best not to be a member...just be a guest. I may sound rude but it's the truth, isn't it? And this advice is not just for you, it goes for me too.

Whatever said and done, I know that Ishi's departure from BUF is like losing the root of it all. It's really sad and I really don't want Ishi to leave...not cos I want her to do all the work here, but she being the founder of this great place and knowing that she's not going to be here anymore, makes me feel like I'm lost. I mean it's not even a year since BUF was born and her mum is already leaving? :*( Ishi that really makes us all feel deserted and left out in the rain. Remember few months ago, when I was upset and wanted to leave BUF for a while, you asked me to take my own time and come back...that you'd still be here? Now that's not gonna be true right? Cos you said you're leaving already and that there'll be no ADMIN hereafter, no topics, that people can post whatever they want etc etc. That kind of made me feel that you don't seem to treasure BUF anymore...that you have lost interest all of a sudden. How come Ish? This is a place you started with alot of LOVE and DEDICATION...so I really don't understand why you want to let go of that very connection you created, and this soon too? Anyways, you're free to do what you like...I'm only asking these questions cos I care and I want to know why. I sincerely hope you'd still be a big part of this place and that you'd continue to keep this place alive, as much as you can. Thanks for all the great work you did here all these months and HUGGGGGGGGGZ!

The title reads Words Are Not Enough. That goes to all of us BUFers. If we make a promise, a connection and a pledge to doing something, then it should be DONE, not just SAID. And trust me, I'm not a jobless person either..I have alot of work, an exam to study for, visitors at home, my own blog to run, my various other probs etc etc, but I truly care about BUF, because when I became a member, I made a promise to be a part of it...so I'm sticking by that, hence this post amidst my chaotic schedule. You are all most welcome to comment on what I said here...THANKS guys!

A Steamy Encounter...(Keshi)
Wednesday, September 19, 2007
He stared at Ruhi in total disbelief. Then he walked away without uttering a single word and in sheer sadness. Suddenly he sees Miss.Piggy from The Muppet Show walking towards him! He wonders if this is for real and Miss.Piggy keeps crashing down towards him and she ended up in his arms saying 'I'm the one for you...you don't need that two-timing Miss.Doggy, you have me baby!'. And then she kissed him passionately on his lips and sends him into a frenzy of lust. Miss.Piggy, though she's chubby, owns a pair of juicy lips that made him see stars (in a good way). He was on the ground with Miss.Piggy on him smooching and saying sweet-nothings. Then he suddenly got up and suggested that they should go back to his place in North Sydney LOL!

Story Of An Addict (Keshi)
Tuesday, September 4, 2007
Guys I'm addicted to Cocaine...LOL ok kidding! Cmon you all know I'm such a Music-freak. I can't live without music...so basically I'm addicted to my iPod and stereo. They are my life-support system. My other addiction is the Beach. The waves does it for me...I can be really down but when I watch the waves with my feet in the water, all my worries have suddenly been washed away. Well I'm sure you've heard enough of that addiction too :). So let's just say Music and the Beach are my highest addictions that were born with me and would most certainly die with me some day. That means, these 2 addictions will always be with me no matter what, and without them I'd be dead (and that's me in the pic pretending to be dead).

Now for a bit of information for all of us. I once did a post on this subject in my blog. Read here for an indepth take on this subject and a bizzare list of addictions that some people suffer from, such as being addicted to People, Alcohol, Gambling, Self-harm, Hate, Religion, Internet, Work, Video games etc. The truth is you may be having one of those addictions too...could be even without your own knowledge of it! Now when you read that post, don't worry too much if you have one of those addictions too. Keep in mind that for it to be a serious and unhealthy addiction, it has to dominate your daily life, be negative and harmful to you and/or others, and you have to be powerless when it comes to controlling it. So if your addiction doesn't fall within that description, then you have nothing to be worried about. Chillax ok!

Now there is another serious addiction that Keshi lives with...it's called Expressing. I'm addicted to expressing my feelings in the open, being honest with just about anyone and being who I am no matter what. Simply put I just can't hide my feelings. From my childhood, I have been a girl who expressed her heart out without fear. I remember when I was about 4yrs old, I told my dad's 30yr old friend that I wanted to marry him - yeah just like that. Another day, when I was about 3 or 4yrs old, I told my dad and friend to shutup or I'll shoot them both - cos they were making too much noise talking. Then when I was about 6yrs I went to see a doc with my dad for some tonsils issue. I told the doc "doctor if you can't really do anything about my tonsils, don't waste your time checking me...let it just go away". The doctor smiled and told me "You couldn't help saying that could you Miss.K". In school too I was very good at expressing myself and teachers always loved my work (not bragging here). So yeah, no wonder I grew up to be a blogger who writes about every feeling she has to deal with. That's why I'm addicted to blogs too :). Cos I love expressing and reading how others express their feelings about almost anything. So there you go...I'm addicted to communications of the heart, thus giving a voice to my heart.

I could only say that my addictions have been a benefit in my life so far, and that I'm richer for having them as my cravings.

A Mardo Wala Date (Keshi)
Friday, August 24, 2007
I wanna take THE very sweet and funny Jitterbug on a date...simply because he makes me laugh alot and that to me is a great way to spend one whole day with someone from BUF. You all know I love to laugh and I get highly attracted to someone who can make me laugh. Humor is a very important part of my life and I love being around cheerful and funny people :). Moody people put me off big time urggggg!

What I'd do with Jitterbug on our date would be a scene from the Hindi movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. I'd take Jitterbug to Blue Mountains and get him to run around trees trying to locate me, while I lay on the grass in a saree, making Kajol kind of eye-movements (tum paas aaye, yun muskuraaye...). LOL ok I was just kidding! That wasn't the true agenda of the date. What I really wanna do is take Jitterbug on a Surfing date, since he's a bodybuilder and all hehe. I'm not a surfer but I wanna learn it together with someone as funny as Jitterz is, and he can save me if I drown real fast :). So we'll go to Cronulla beach here in Sydney (one of the best Surf beaches) and we can hit the waves with our boogie boards. Then we can laugh at each others' blunders and make fun of our expertise as we nearly drown! btw Jitterz is a good runner too...just like Forrest Gump you see. So after our Surfing session, we'll have some Kesari to eat, and hit the bush tracks. I'll say 'Run Forrest run' and Jit will say 'Run Forrestina run'. And we will run together! I wanna see if I'm fit enough to beat Jitterbug. I'm sure I will ;-). Once we are done with the run, I'd go to a shop and buy some Mardo Wala cream for his sunburns...and if we cant find that in Aus, I'd make him a Vegemite sandwich..that'll fix his skin from within cos it's got alot of Vitamins hehe. Lastly we'd go see a movie...Jitterz you decide...which movie do you wanna watch with me?

And I wanna dedicate one of my fav Hindi songs to Jitterbug cos he's really a wonderful friend (I just realsied that the girls in this video are far too much LOL, but just enjoy the song!). Friendships are just beautiful even though we are not in the same country and he makes me laugh even when I'm on the train...when I think about all the crazy things he says in the SB. So yeah that'd be my date with someone from BUF :).

Must Be Love (Keshi)
Friday, August 10, 2007
You wouldnt believe this - my first crush happened when I was about 5yrs old :). He was a friend of my dad but he was much younger than my dad...maybe this guy was about 18yrs old then. So whenever he visited us at home, I used to stare at him cos I was totally smitten by this young man (maybe cos back then I hadn't yet set my eyes on Russel Crowe?). Used to think how gorgeous this guy was (today I'm thinking he's nowhere close to my taste urrrrgggg!). I was even dreaming of being married to him (yeah I had big dreams at such a young age hehe). Whenever he came home, I used to sit close to him (what was I thinking ha?). When he cracked jokes with my dad and laughed, I used to laugh too (even if I didn't get the jokes at all I wanted to impress him...rolling eyes here). When he sat down to have lunch with us, I used to watch how he ate (yes at that age watching a man eating was like watching Candyman maybe). Whenever he said goodbye I used to feel ow so sad (guess I was a drama queen back then too). I guess he was the first guy I felt some affection for in a romantic manner or so...an innocent crush that THANKFULLY didn't develop any further...cos if it did, I'd never have been able to forgive myself LOL!

All In One (by Keshi)
Tuesday, July 31, 2007
I don't usually believe in having a pre-defined set of characteristics for my Mr.Right (apart from the basic requirements ofcourse - such as attraction, cuteness, hygene, music-taste, education etc etc). I believe that I'd only know my Mr.Right criteria AFTER I meet him...cos he's the only one who could define it for me. You may have a pre-defined list of what he/she should be like, but when you fall in love, none of that may matter. That's how powerful love is. However, I've come up with the following 5 my-kind-of-guy characteristics (the other 5 being standard stuff we all expect) that I found in few real guys I know:

1. Jitterbug humor
I love a guy with a great sense of humor - and that means a classy and an intelligent sense of humor. As you all know, I love to laugh and I am a complete funnygirl myself. 'LOL' btw is my fav net term (rolling eyes here). So yeah, I want a guy who can really make me laugh and one who can laugh with me.. So when I said Jitterbug humor, I meant the kind of humor that our own 'mardo wala' mate Jitendra possesses.

2. Sam courtesy
I'd like my guy to be a polite person. In other words, a gentleman. One who knows how to treat a lady. One who's not loud and harsh. Someone who listens to me when I speak. A guy who explains to me when I need an explanation. A man who respects not only his woman, but all women. So when I said Sam courtesy, I meant the kind of courtesy that our own dahlin Sam holds.

3. Pu Bear affection
I'm a girl who thrives on affection. I love to be pampered and treated like a cute lil pet LOL! Ok I promise I wont bark...woof woof, ooops! Anyways, I love hugs, kisses, sweet surprises, cute names, undivided attention, suga suga smiles and good flirting (thou shall flirt). So when I said Pu Bear affection, I meant the kind of affection that our own flirt king Puneet delivers. (damn he still has my Flirt Aid kit!)

4. z000nie determination
If I'm in a relationship, it had better be with a man with a brain that funtions a tad over the average level. I don't want to sit and provide him tissues as he tells me the reasons for dropping out of school and for never being able to get a decent job in his life. I have struggled hard to be where I am today...I studied and went to Uni, paid all my fees on my own and currently hold a good job cos of my own abilities. That means he better match up to the willpower. So when I said z000nie determination, I meant the kind of determination that our own smarty Arjun has.

5. Southy fire
In a relationship between a man and a woman, passion plays a very important part. If there's no emotional and physical attraction and connection, then there's really no relationship there. As a woman who's very emotional, I seek the best when it comes to this part of the relationship. He's got to be able to ignite sparks within my soul without being told to do so. So when I said Southy fire, I meant the kind of fire that our own stud Southy carries.




Now find me a guy with all of these 5 qualities in one ;-)

Some Things Don't Change (by Keshi)
Wednesday, July 18, 2007
When we are born we get a name to carry for the rest of our lives...and that will be our ID through our entire life. In that life, we meet many people, we form bonds, some break, some last longer, some people cheat, some stay true to themselves, some get hurt, some hurt others, some lie, some always speak the truth, some fall in love, some remain friends, some die young, some live longer, some care, some don't etc etc. That's the kind of life we all live...cos we are humanbeings and we can never run away from being human. So on the net too we do the same..create an ID and live our net lives. Friendships, infidelity, love, lust, mockery, jealousy, affection, lies, beauty, breakups etc etc they all exist on the net and outside the net too, don't they?

If we board a plane, do we become a different animal? When we are on the phone, are we any different from being off the phone? So when we are behind an ID and on the net, are we any different from who we really are? Do we stop being humans? Does our mind stop? Do the emotions take a different turn? Does the heart stop being the heart that it was before you sat in front of that PC? I don't think so. We are humans wherever we may be, whatever means we may be using to make new friends. Ofcourse people can put on an act on the net, but those who do that would be the same when they are not on the net as well...you know, putting on an act wherever they are.

My point is net or not, people don't change. You are YOU wherever you may be. And life is pretty much the same both on the net and outside. There will always be all kinds of people and relationships everywhere. Net or not, we remain who we are.

Having said that I have to say that the net has introduced me to some beautiful souls, who are not afraid to reveal their innermost emotions and share their joy and sorrow, and be there for each other. It's a beautiful place...a world away from this world...cos we are all connected on a mental level. And thats the true beauty of Life's solid relationships. You'd realise that even outside the net, if you're connected to someone on a mental level, nothing else matters. So that means, like I said before, Life is the same anywhere and it depends alot on the individual that you are...not on the medium you use to make friends. You are YOU wherever you are.

O Chillax!
Tuesday, July 10, 2007
As I have been given a much appreciated opportunity to put up another post this week, I have chosen a topic that would give me some feedback. So I'd love to hear from each of you. Thanks in advance!

Now there are many techniques that I use to relax myself. Music tops the list...some good sleep...a yummy piece of chocolate...a warm bath in the tub...a massage...a hug...shopping alone for shoes, shoes and shoes...a kiss...a little chat with girlfriends...a slow jog...writing a blog post...a dancing session...a long Drive alone...a day-dreaming 10mins...a hot cup of coffee etc etc. Well that's some of the ways I relax myself. I was wondering what other methods there must be out there, so tell me how you relax...easy isnt it :). Keshi all ears now...

Love Is...
Thursday, July 5, 2007
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have to interrupt the Story tag cos it's a very special day for 2 very special people in BUF (Admin, once again I broke the rules but please don't delete this). So here it goes:

8 Love Quotes for an 8th Wedding Anniversary....


"Love is like swallowing hot chocolate before it has cooled off. It takes you by surprise at first, but keeps you warm for a long time."

"Love is blind but after experiencing it for a long time you should become familiar with some particular spots."

"Love is the only game never postponed due to darkness."

"Love is like the air we breathe. It may not always be seen, but it is always felt, used and needed."

"When you have nothing left but love, then for the first time you become aware that love is enough."

"Love is like a flower, give it some time, patience and lots of tender loving care; and watch it bloom into something wonderful before your eyes."

"Love is like a rose, the special one grows in the winter."

"Love is Ishita and Rajiv"


HAPPY 8TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO THE BEAUTIFUL COUPLE ISH AND RAJIV!

***MWAHHHHZ*** from all BUFers!

The Wait (by Keshi)
Tuesday, July 3, 2007
The twilight skies seem to weep in anticipation. The night drew closer to Daniella's state of mind. She waited by the phone. Waiting to receive that one call that would change her life forever. She fiercely longed for it, yet she feared it like a child lost in darkness. A beautiful desire danced within her, yet the thought of losing what she has right now seem to play mind games. Torn between two worlds, not really being able to foresee which one would make her happy, Daniella wanted to choose whatever route that this call was going to take her on. Staring at the phone was no consolation. So she moved closer to the window, looking at the faraway horizon, wondering if her desired destiny was as close as the phone was or as far as that horizon seemed to be. Maybe he didn't want her...maybe he was just uttering those words without meaning. Soon it will all be revealed. But at the back of her mind, she knew she was going to receive that call. Would she be able to take the plunge? Would she then be betraying the people who loved her very much? Would she be walking into territory that she should never have? All the answers secretly slept in that faraway horizon which was going to unfold soon. The clock struck 8pm. The soft breeze gently caressed her face. The kettle switched off. The coffee in the cup waited to be brewed...

Gardening Tips (by Keshi)
Wednesday, June 27, 2007
This is my favorite post for many reasons (written long time ago). I have come across many kinds of people in my life and I'm not saying that I'm better/worse than them. But this post was inspired by the experiences I have had with them. And it's a great eye-opener for myself too. Hope you like it.


I'm not much of a gardener myself but lately I developed a strong interest in maintaining it to provide a little bit of sparkle to myself and to everyone around me. Now, have you stepped into your garden lately? If not this is the time for you to check it out, the careless way in which it may be growing and the weeds that may have deep-rooted themselves destroying the health and beauty of it all. I came up with some gardening tips for myself and for you, lets hope it helps all of us in some way.


Keep the plant of Ego pruned every so often. You must have this plant but you shouldn’t allow it’s branches to grow too long that it prevents the sun from reaching the plant of Selflessness. Water the plant of Selflessness every now and then, so that it grows healthy enough to sway it’s branches giving some cool breeze to the plant of Generosity. Feed the plant of Generosity with enough nutrients so that it won’t be malnourished by staying hungry for too long. Have those merry garden gnomes to excite the plant of Humor. Relocate the plant of Greed to a dry corner so that it will just survive with nearly no effort. Next to it, place the plant of Conscience so that they can talk often to each other. Check the plant of Conscience every now and then so that you know it’s in good shape. Make sure the plant of Honesty grows in full strength so that it shadows the plant of Deceitfulness. Keep the plant of Deceitfulness in the dark so that the plants of Loyalty and Faithfulness can get a bigger share of sunshine. Build a pond of tranquil waters to keep the plant of Humbleness always damp and alive. Trim the branches of the plants of Jealousy and Envy as soon as they start to grow too thick. Have stones and rocks as solid friends for the plant of Strength. Bud the plants of Friendliness and Kindness so they bloom happily together. Let some grass grow to retain your plant of Originality. Cultivate the plant of Peace close to your window. Install tiny garden lights to cast brightness to the plant of Despair. Wean the plant of Foolishness off the walls. Bring down the plant of Pride to a moderate height from where it used to hang. Take the bugs off the plants of Hope and Dreams and let them grow without others throwing obstacles. Grow some Cactus that add to the variety of the garden, that may also help slow down the plant of Prejudice. Nurture the plants of Care and Beauty by using the best fertilizer you can find. Let the plant of Expectations grow without much care. Use a scarecrow to shoo away the pesky birds that chatter nonsense and attempt to ruin your plant of Courage. Move the plant of Hatred in to the wilderness so that insects will diminish it's life. From the wilderness bring the plant of Love back in to your garden, because it’s time for it to start living and growing again. Once these tips are taken into consideration and adopted into your daily gardening routine, you will have a new plant growing there soon…the plant of Bliss. Immerse in the Lotus-like flower of Serenity and the Mango-like fruit of Contentment that this plant of Bliss brings to your garden of life.

A June Rose (by Keshi)
Tuesday, June 19, 2007





(This is a special dedication for a very special person. Hence I didn't think I needed to get permission to post this. Please don't delete this ADMIN :))


She is a beautiful rose born on the 20th of June. She is a wonderful mother. She is a lovely wife. And most of all a golden friend to have. I've known this rose for a very long time now. She's been one of my earliest friends in Blogville. She and I made an instant connection cos she and I are so much alike in many ways. Maybe cos we are both rather emotional Cancerians? :). Ishita has a way of making you feel special...she respects you for who you are...she has an innate ability to take you just the way you are. That's what I love about this Rose. Her delicate fragrance, her unmatchable beauty, her soul-searching writings and her honest opinions got me closer to her in ways that are not easy to put into words. She changed my life from just one line that she wrote to me in one of her emails...at the time I was feeling down and I was going to stop blogging, so I was informing her that I wont be around in BUF for a while...then she wrote to me and said this: Kesh whatever it is that happened, I'm sure the others have moved on, so why don't you too? That one line was enough to change me instantly. I swear it changed me just like that - so I picked my self up and continued just the way I was before. Not many people can say something to you that would truly change you. Ish is a rare soul and she isn't just words only - she means it. She's also the founder of this ever-famous BUF blog. She's a legend and I want to wish her a beautiful birthday and many more happy and warm bdays for years to come! HUGGGGGGGGGZ and MWAHHHHHHHZ!


I want to dedicate this song for Ish. Not only cos she loves this song very much (and it is also one of my favs) but also cos I think of Ish as a HOLIDAY. She's fun, relaxing to be around, refreshing, a beautiful wave, a heavenly getaway, a soul-awakening experience...




Music: Holiday by The Scorpions

Memory Of A Wish (Keshi)
Friday, June 8, 2007
I don't have a BEST friend. Simply because I don't compare my friends, measure their value and put them on a numbered list. To me it's not a fair thing to do cos I believe each and every friend is unique and has their own ability to make my life richer for being in it. Every friend is a BEST friend in their own special, incomparable ways. They are all equally beautiful flowers in my life. So I choose 'Favorite Childhood Memory' for this post.

When I was about 5yrs old I badly wanted a guitar (yes I was a music freak back then too). So it was Christmas time and I thought the only way I could get one was by asking Santa for it. With excited anticipation in my heart, I started writing a letter to Santa stating my desire to own a rock guitar and I was all of 5. I still remember what kind of letter I wrote: Dearest Santa, I badly need a guitar you know. I'm thinking of forming a band and I cant do that without instruments. So could you be really nice and bring me one from your home...shhhh don't tell anyone. I have been very good at school and at home so I think I deserve one. Thanks Santa! oh and I forgot to tell you...I think my sister needs a Piano...she was telling me the other day. Thank you and bye!

So on Christmas eve I was counting minutes for midnight to come, and when I could go to bed to wake up the next day to find a guitar under the tree. It was around 4pm 24th Dec, and I was playing outside when I saw my dad parking his car. He got out the car and was carrying big bags of stuff...and I saw the end of a guitar popping out of one bag!! That was the day I got to know that Santa was really your mum or dad haha! After that I never asked for any gifts from Santa - the big ol guy who made us believe he's real and ripped my parents off LOL! I was so happy that I got my guitar though ;-).



And my sister did get a piano too :).
