URNER - URvashi's corNER

A very strange thing happened today. I was on my Desk when a customer approached me asking for the balance in his Account. I enquired his number & other details and started telling him the balance. Now whenever I have to tell something like in numbers, I speak in English default. So I began "Thirty three thous..." & he interrupted. "Arey madam, English kuthe yete..Zara Marathit sanga naa"(meaning I don't understand English. Tell me in Marathi.) I repeated the balance for him in Marathi to which he asked "Clear aahe naa Balance..??"(Is it all clear??). I replied in positive & then he said THANK YOU & was about to leave when I called him back & said "Thank You pan English aahe..."(You said thank you, thats is in English only.) He smiled at himself & said "English yete mala pan tumchya saarkhi nahi. Mi teacher ahe Marathi shikavto ani bolto.? Kahi chuk jali tya peksha me bolatch nahi."(I Know English but not li

Last year at around the same time, I was humming a song " Dil toh bachcha hai ji ..." and I was so much in love with the song that I played it in loop endlessly for times together. Then within a year, there comes up a movie with the same title and the strange thing is that it does not have a title song...!! Now you must be wondering what is this post about..!! The song or the movie..??? Well, it is about none.. I just thought of the song & movie as I sat down to write... This is actually about our Dil & how it acts like a cute bachcha ..!! There are actually small things which touch our heart & make it happy. This Dil does not want material happiness. Just a a simple good morning message with a smiley, lovely breakfast of simple coffee with cream, just getting right on time for the train, finding a seat near the window, having no pending works (or no work at all..!! :P) , just getting a call/message from a person you were just thinking of, finding the same

Yesterday I was walking back home with my friend when I just exclaimed, "Wow..So Cute...!!!" My friend turned around & said "Who...???" "Arey aage gayi..!!" "Aage gayi..???? Were you looking at some baby girl..???" "Naa re....Woh.............................." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .......................Woh car... Beetle...!!!! :D But really, its such a sweet & cute design for a car naa..!!! I actually like such cars more than those ferocious, speedy & racing type cars. I have liked many cars but till date, "Beetle" has been my favourite. & the only word I exclaim on seeing it is "Wowww.... So Cute...!!!!" BTW, my favourite car is Honda City..!!! Not that I don't like all those Mercedes' & BMW's etc etc... but just that I like The Sparkling Silver Honda City more than those ones.......!!! So which is your favourite car..???

" Ohkk .. So When you get down, just go to ur right hand side straight & u'll find a shop ' Girnar ' It is very big..I'll be just waiting opposite it." " Arey woh McDonalds wala road hai naa .. usme hi aage jaake turn legi to wahan pe shop hai ... Kisi ko bhi puch naa , you will find it." " Arey get down before the flyover starts & take the service road straight.. Then take your first right & you'll reach the office..." Left, right, straight, curves, turns & what not..?? Uff this big city & so many directions..... I just was lost in this whole scene that I frequently called this city - "Thane" a Bhool bhulaiya . Every time my dad or friends instructed me about finding any location in this place, I would seriously avoid going there alone.. I would accompany someone or try to get my work done somewhere else.... But.. but ..but... Three months ago, I was posted at THANE branch of my bank

"Hiee.. How are you..?? Hope you remember me..??" "Yeah..Of course...I do... I mean how can I forg...???" "Why can't you..??? "Just look at the number of times you have visited me in the past two months..." "So what dear..?? I have been busy all this while.. You know it right...??" "Yeah..Your priorities have changed..." "No.. It's not about priorities.. You are still on my priority list ... It's just that sometime I can't spend as much time with you & so..." "There you go explaining....I don't want to hear them.. Stop them please.. I'm happy the way I am... You can be happy with what you like." "You know that you are very important to me... How can you think of me like that...??" "Then what should I think..?? Remember in the beginning we spent so much of time together & now you have no time only.. So what else should I think...??" "Hmm.. I understand wh

HER DIARY 2nd December,2006 Ohh God, What A day.....!!!??!!! I was happy that at last I saw him today.. As the time was nearing, I was wondering if he would come or not but he just came in in the last minute..He was looking so cute in that red shirt..Aha, suits him perfectly well... Bu what after he came?? He was talking to everyone around except me... Or Was I feeling so..?? He never notices me & how come I notice him every time he even passes by...?? I think he should understand that I like him when I look at him..? When will he understand.. ? And what if someone else notices it before he does..?? He is really stupid I know... It would take ages for him to understand.. Maybe I should tell that to him.... Tell..?? But when he asks me something why do I seem to forget all the words..?? I just end up blabbering something or the other and in a minute he is gone asking that to someone else.. Why can't I talk properly to him when he asks me?? Why can't he wait & talk to me

"I had liked that one only from the beginning. ?I'll buy that one only..." & I turned to the shopkeeper. "Bhaiya yeh pack kar dena...." "Haan madam, this colour is perfect for you. Diwali ke din aap khub chamkengi..!!" "Arey, it's not for Diwali.. It is for my reception after Diwali..." "Ohhh... Shopping for marriage.... So Madam, buy more... This would be your last Diwali at home..??!!!" the shopkeeper questioned. I nodded but the enthusiasm of shopping vanished. Every time I try to come out of that mood , something or other pops up to remind me of my last days...... I begin to feel low on hearing the word "Last&qu
