My disastrous first crush!!!

Upto class 10th, i was part of a girls school & boys were never on my mind! It was only when i changed schools & stepped into class 11 that i encountered with fellow boy classmates. Yeah, like any teenage girl I was excited!

We were a class of about 60 students out of which only 13 were boys.Most of the boys in my class would only boo the girls or pass comments at us.Most of them didnt dress well...wore chappals, some wore a formal shirt & not tucked them in!Eeeww.....i wouldnt even want to give a second look at any of them!!
For me its very important for a guy to be presentable...he should dress well, most often he should wear shoes & shoes with socks ofcourse!!! He should be courteous to girls & respect them!

Now, out of these 13 boys, there was this soft spoken handsome guy & yes, he fitted very well into my definition of a perfect guy! In an instant, I had an admiration for him.I woudnt miss a chance to speak to him. I made unncessary reasons to go up to him..enquire on things mostly about studies though(boring!).I would secretly watch him walk into & out of the classroom. To my suprise, I was also getting envious of the other girls in the class who he approached!hmmmm.... Yes, i had a crush of this guy!

It was jus a week since all this crush development & me day dreaming about him!One morning, I was walking into my college campus, & this crush of mine zoomed pass me on his kinetic honda bike, my heart totally excited to have gotten a glimse of him...as he rode past me, my eyes fell on his socks...you wont believe I somehow started disliking him that moment - reason: the color of his socks - it was parrot green!!! yuck!!!! my heart goes :(
From that day on, only thing i had an eye on were his socks!!! Here are some of the lovely(sarcastic)colored socks I happened to see - florescent green, deep purple, bright pink so on & so forth!
How can a guy choose to wear such gurly colored socks?!?!?! yes, i discontinued to like him from then on...he was perfect in all ways, but for his choice of socks!
And there ends my first & last crush!

For the sake of our mother tongue!!

We, that's me & my 2 younger sisters have been brought up like any other middle class kids.... values been given utmost importance & have been imbibed in us since our childhood. Our parents always made it a point to talk to us in our mother tongue....& we respected that!

Over years while we went to school & college, the english language started taking over our native language...&at home we continued our school talks in english... slowly English was the language we would converse in mostly & our mother tongue would be used only when essential i.e while talking to mom & relatives, that too only older ones! With cousins & all our age group folks, it would be english!!
I got married & in my in laws place too I got to hear more english! So did i blend into it very well!
Now that me n my hubby are living abroad, its become much more convinient for us as well!
Gradually, English had completely taken over our mother tongue!!!

Yesterday we were invited to this distant relatives place... a family that has not been so influenced by the foriegn language(strangely for me) & continue speak in our mother tongue.
While we were conversing, my hubby & myself were struggling to find words!!! We somehow managed to mix english & konkani(thats our mother tongue) & managed the show!!

While were were heading back home, i told my husband, that it was rather very depressing that we are almost on the verge of forgetting our own language! I also expressed my view that I would want our kid (whenever that happens) to talk in Konkani at home... english is something the kid will catch up on at school! And for us, that we now need to do some serious repairing work to our language, we decided that henceforth we will make it a point to talk konkani among ourselves! We would rather be late that never!

Here I come..

I have never done this before... i have perhaps never ever penned down my thoughts, my views on anything,or even written abt myself or anything around...
I have had several friends, who would sit up every night without fail write down their days happenings in their so called "dairy" And while they do that, i would jus lie on my bed keep recollecting all the things that happened during the day....keep thinking whether i could hav done anything better than what i did to make life worthwhile...
I had somehow decided that i will keep my thoughts to myself...never made an attempt to convert those thots in writing... i am jus a lil apprehensive about this whole dairy writing stuff... may b i dont want anyone to read my mind, my secret thoughts!! ;)
But these days, since am all the while at home, got lot of time to spare, i thought may b I should start blogging....for my own sake! Have been thinking of getting started on this since a long long time... may b today is one of those blessed days!!
