URNER - URvashi's corNER

You all have come across the phrase "What's in a name..??" What does it mean to you..?? For me, my NAME means everything... It something so closely attached to me, so much a part of me that I don't even need to be conscious while saying my name.. And I am sure, it would be the same with everyone. We are all very possessive about our name. Even hearing someone calling out our name sounds so sweet at times, no matter how common the name may be and when we meet someone with the same name as ours, we immediately feel a sense of bonding with that person. We suddenly identify the same kind of problems with our names,the mistakes people make, the jokes played cracked and the most important...... the way they call you out..... It dint matter to me if someone called me by a different name or rather say different versions of my name... I don't have a problem when people call me with different names but then I don't like people who are not so familiar to me, calling

Hello All..I am here with a longggggggggg tag this time..!! I came across this on Anish's Blog some time ago and found that it had a lovely set of questions. Though it took a lot of time to answer them all, I am finally done with it and the Countdown Begins here...... Ten How’s: 1. How did you get one of your scars? I got one when a glass jug broke and a piece hurt me on my wrist when I was less than a year old. 2. How did you celebrate your last birthday? It was an awesome day. My cousins came over exactly at midnight. Then I attended a family function. Friends came home in the evening which was a surprise since we were just a few days away from our final exams…Loads of phone calls and wishes.. All in all..a memorable day. ..!! 3. How are you feeling at this moment? A little sleepy. Just had lunch. 4. How did your night go last night? Had a sound sleep. 5. How did you do in high school? Pretty Good..!! 6. How did you get the shirt you’re wearing? I’m wearing a dress that I brou

Hiee all.. It has been some time that I have been away from "My Corner" and the reason for it is is I am busy at some other corner. This corner is my workplace . I am loving my new job a lot. Actually there are so many interesting things around that I can blog everyday about the new things I found but after coming back home I am so tired that I just check my updates, leave a few comments and then I am off to sleep. Today I finally completed one whole post and yeah I end my ramblings here so that you can proceed to the post.. :P I had heard a lot about things changing while moving from Campus To Corporate.. Everyone said the world out there is hard to survive in , competitive and you have to prove yourself in every field. I had my own perceptions about it.. Call it dreams or my expectations, I always wanted it to be a place with good people around and this place is really wonderful... After a few days in here, this is my take at the changes I found while transforming from

I still remember the day when I was asked by my cousin "Are you on Orkut..??" and I was like, "Orkut..??? What is that..??" Yeah I dont mind to admit that I was at that time really dumb about these things.. specially to this whole world of Internet and social networking. That was about some four years back... I did not even have an email ID before that. The reason for it was mainly ignorance.. I did not know that outside my world there is so much more to explore and I never even felt the need for such a medium of communication.... Then after my junior college I began to know things about Internet and orkutting and mailing etc. etc.. It was an awesome period discovering new things and finding I was finding it amazing... The whole concept of social networking fascinated me. "Orkut" was the first social networking site I joined. I loved to create profile, fill in all the details and the DP... that is the best part about it.... I always upload cute pictures

Mom called "Come for dinner..." But to me... Everything around seemed so dull and dizzy.... Even keeping my eyelids open was seeming to be a tough task... My head was just spinning like anything.... I drank water, gulped down an Aspirin and decided NEVER EVER TO........ .......READ THE WHOLE BOOK IN ONE SHOT....!! P.S. : I don't know if it was a good attempt at 55 fiction... Actually it's not a fiction. Experinced it last weekend when I went on to read a full small novel but at the end of the day...... Huh.....!! :P :P TC :)

Hieee all.. No..Don't go by the title... I am not protesting against anything or going on any hunger strike. .(I can't even imagine that..!! :P) Today I am back with the latest tag on Blogsville.. A tag which I found on most of the blogs and it was so interesting that I hit the "CTRl + C" and "Ctrl + V" and here it is.... Its very simple... You just strike out the things from the list which you have not done yet...and the list goes as..... 1. Graduated high school. 2. Kissed someone. 3. Smoked a cigarette. 4. Got so drunk you passed out. 5. Rode every ride at an amusement park.  (I am scared of most of them..) 6. Collected something stupid.(Used recharge vouchers, train tickets, shells at shores…hmmm.. need anything more..??) 7. Gone to a rock concert. 8. Helped someone. 9. Gone fishing.  (Naaa..not yet) 10.

"Bheegi si bhaagi si, Mere bazuo mein samaye....Soti si jaagi si.... " went my ringtone as it flashed some number on the screen.. I picked up the call closing the tab on my screen.... "Hello...!!??" I responded. "Hello..." "Ohh..Hiee..." "Hi." "How are you...??? Kab aaye..??" "Arey bas fine... Just came back yesterday.. Tum batao.. Kya haal hai..?? " "Nothing much yaar... These breaks are so boringg....." "You know aaj mein tumhe is naye number se pareshan karne wala tha... But yaar tum to 'Hello' se aage kuch bolne hi nahi deti...!! Tumhare pass yeh naumber to nahi tha naa..?? " "Naa....Nahi tha..." ( Laughing uncotrollably...) "Arey tumhari aawaz kisi bhi number se pehchanungi yaar..." "Hmmm.... Koi naa.. Main koi aur plan banaunga tumhe pareshan karne....." "Wo kyon..?? Pareshan karna jaroori hai kyaa..??? "..... Just a snippet from the conver

Hain dil ko teri aarzoo, Par main tujhe naa paa sakoon, Hain dil ko teri justjoo, Par main tujhe naa paa sakoon..... Just sleeping to the tunes of this beautiful song since the past two nights.... Its such a wonderful song.. Just a soothing treat for the ears.... Liked a song so, so, so much after a long time.. While hearing it for the first time, it reminds me of the couple of beautiful songs from the movie "Anwar" . The Lyrics so different... with touch of Urdu words.. a Sufi type song... The word "Madno" itself means "Sajnaa" .. so different and nice naa..!! (I googled that one...) The way Kshitij says Madnoo..Mashko... Dilbaroo... Ohhh.. I just get lost in his words..!!! My favourite line "Main hoon shab tu subah........ Dono jud ke judaa" The song is really beautiful and yeah definitely a must listen if you like soft, romantic, Hindi music... Check it out here if you still hvn't come across this song....!!

Once upon a time there was a kingdom..a land....a place where many people lived.. Have you heard of this place..?? It was a place where there was no one ruler or king. Everyone was their own king. People worked on their own in a way, everyone was each other's friend. They seemed to know every person next door. Even if they did not know each other, they were always ready to help people around. Everyone expressed themselves to the best here and shared thoughts, views ,opinions and incidents from their lives . Their friends were always there to support them or correct them, as situation demanded. The kingdom was huge and ever expanding... One day a girl who had been amazed by the people in this kingdom decided to visit it and when she was here....she was just fascinated by the place..Slowly, she started to be like the people round talking to everyone, sharing her thoughts and learning from her experiences.. It gave her joy and also helped her to identify herself even better... It beca

Superb, sparkling silver and stylish... Wowwww...They look so great...!! But would I be able to carry it off properly..?? This was the fear I always had when I looked at pencil heels...!! I found them really attractive and if someone would wear it , I would really admire her because it was like a fantasy for me to wear those type of sandals and walk properly in them.. (without falling..!!) I have always been wearing box or platform heeled sandals but wanted to try pencil heels since long. Whenever I thought of buying it , the next thought would be, but how would I walk in them and considering the number of times I have to get down or climb steps at home, bus, college etc , I always let go off the thought for the time being.. But last month when I went shopping with my aunt, she encouraged me to buy those sandals. Back home I was pretty excited about it. They were silver and had 2 inch pencil heels.I loved it. But my mom was very apprehensive about me wearing those sandals. At last aft

I just now wrote a whole article and just when I was about to post it... There was a power cut and just because I had not hit the "Ctrl + S" even once while typing, the whole article vanished... (I was using notepad..!!) Now I will write it again some other day.....!! :( I don't know why but it always happens with me. Whenever I don't save there has to be a power cut. It would be as short as 5 mins and then the light would be back.... :( Not only this, whenever I am free and have time to watch TV, something would go wrong... There would no power or there would be no good programmes to watch. I just end up shuffling the channels..!! :( Similarly, whenever I want to chat or come online...It has happened so many times that my net does not get connected..If it gets connected, there is no one online.... Always happens with me..!! :( I don't know why but when I get late to reach at home or some other place, something would happen on the way and I would get more late.

At last.. I found him...!!! I was searching for him since so so long.... I told mom also about it. Today was my last exam and I had told Mom that I would bring him home on the last day. She agreed to it. Actually she thought I was crazy at first but then she said it was fine. He is my Love. Of late I had started liking him more than even last year.. Even on my way to my exam centre I used to see him and then remember all those cute moments. Finally while coming home today..I brought him home. Mom found him good.. I always find him cute... so no need to say that. My brother also liked him but he said, "What yaar...!! You got the male zoo-zoo..?? I find the female ones cuter...!!!!" :P :P P.S. : I know this was really crazy but I am really loving the cute zoo-zoo soft toy I got today.. Due to exams I had been away for so long from my PC and blog and orkut and everything, that I wanted to write something and so the post..!!! :) P.P.S. : Next time I would definitely write some

"The first thing I do in the morning is check my cell...." Its a group I have joined on FB... But isn't this a fact for the most of us..?? Just talking about yesterday- I woke up in the morning. Checked my cell besides the pillow. Nothing new. Just rubbed my eyes and sent a message to a couple of friends- "See outside the window... Sun rising for U, Flowers Smiling for U, Birds Singing for U, 'Coz last nite I told them all to wish Good Morning to U...!! GM :) " I sent the message and after a while I got a reply- "Koi fayda nahi yeh sab karke. ;) Mujhe bahut neend aa rahi hai... Sone de mujhe. GNSD..." GNSD..This was at 9.00 in the morning.... Great friends..!! I replied- "Ok..sleep well... GN.. :) :P" Now this what I want to talk about today........ SMS.... I have developed this habit of hitting the reply button as soon as I read a message.... I don't know but how over the past few months I reply for most of the messages that I recei

Comes April and it is the time for exams and semesters to wind up. Time to dump your books and enjoy Vacations. ... But I really don't understand why should we be having vacations in Summer..??? I mean summers are so hot. I just don't feel like going out anywhere in this sunny weather..So what is the use of having vacation...??Even if I go out, the skin gets all sun burnt. It is not at all pleasant to go out in this weather...Leave alone vacationing. The only place apt for summer vacations would be some cool, cool hill-station.. Else, it can be a total disaster. Imagine if we had vacations in Winter. ..Wow... It would be so lovely... Firstly , I would love to sleep till late on cool winter mornings... Then wake up lazily, roam about, have fresh fruits for breakfast and then just go out and enjoy in the pleasant weather outside... Though winters in Mumbai are not so freezing cold, it is the best part of the year according to me... Not for studying or completing assignments.. Bu

In case you dint notice, my classmates made some customisations for the song to suit to our commerce background..!! That was our last day at college officially. We had a farewell party which was really wonderful. Had awesome performances, award distribution and above it, DJ too.. A memorable evening with mixed feelings...!! This phase of my life- "college" is also getting over now... Feels kind of nostalgic... 5 years spent in the same place... Whe

Hmmm.. So as my title says..... My topic for the day is about FORKS & SPOONS...!!! Now , they don't need an introduction as they are very common to us in our everyday life, so much so that you must be even wondering what I have to write about them.....  Well many things... Just read on.......... Actually whenever I go to eat out, I am very very nervous about eating with a fork and spoon... I feel some things are such that you cant manage to eat them with a spoons and forks..... At least I can't..!!  Lets say... Pav-bhaji. . Now can you eat that without using your fingers..?? Even if you eat... Can you really enjoy the whole taste of it..?? It happened once when I went out with a couple of friends & we ordered Pav-Bhaji ... Now this one friend of mine, she was so so particular that she cut the pav properly with her fork n spoon...picked up that piece with the fork, dipped it in bhaji and then ate it... Ohh Gosh..how can you eat it that way.. I did not

So many things going on around.... "I Don't Know" what to write , to update, to say.. Sometimes they say when you have too much to say, you fall short of words.. I guess thats what is happening to me....!!! When will I be back to normal..??????

A very strange, not strange actually...well you decide for yourself..what did u feel after reading this....!! What I am going to write about is true... I wrote this in drafts and dint publish it also for two days thinking if I should or should not.....but I think I must....!! What happened was....... I was just walking back home with my friend when on the way I saw a vendor with some beautiful small purses that were knit using threads of different colours.They were really beautiful..I just happened to keep staring at them even while walking along and exclaimed to my friend "Wow..they are so beautiful...!!!" Before I could even ask him to accompany me to that corner to have a close look at them, he said. " Why are you all girls like this..?? You like succhhh things..???" Hearing this, something about our conversation around an hour ago struck me - where I was talking to my friend about some Eye-Liner..!! Now I know talking about cosmetics and all sounds girly , but

Fair skin, silky hair falling on his forehead, puppy brown eyes , a smile that could kill any girl… I just could not stop staring at him.. He was looking so, so handsome. Just then he caught me looking at him. I smiled but he turned his face around. I was sad. I leafed through the magazine & started waiting for my turn again. But after around five minutes I looked back in his direction. There was something in those eyes that I kept looking back at them and they caught me this time too. And this happened every two minutes. He dint even return my smiles. I wondered if I should go ahead. At last when I could not resist, I got up, went to his chair, offered my right hand and said, “Hello, I am Urvashi..!! What is your name??” He reluctantly offered his hand, this time his lips did curve into a smile and he said “My name is Aarav. K. Rai. I study in Jr.Kg, St.George High School..!!” Ohh.. He said the whole thing in one breath and it was really such a cute introduction…The one I woul
