Zoned... Out!

Drifting. Just drifting along. My mind is mostly blank these days. I can't plan and I can't think. I don't know what's going on or what's going to happen. I am in another world. Time is passing by so quickly. Things change before I can make my move.
Sigh.

Hum Paanch!

It all started on a rainy day. Chutku came in with one puppy. She was crying. We didn't know how many puppies she had delivered then. And looking at the way she behaved we knew we had to search for the rest. So PC and I went to look out for the other puppies in the rain. Lo and Behold! there they were in the drain being swept away by the strong currents of the rain water. We managed to save 4 of them. So in all there were 5 puppies. They looked like rats! Soon they became a part of our lives. PC and I would come home and play with them, watch them. It felt so good to see five tails wagging when u entered the gates :) We tried not to get too attached to them. You see they are street dogs and will soon go their ways. But every time, any one of them went missing PC and I would be worried sick and search the whole neighbourhood.

We lost Stripey too soon. Stripey died due to shock after seeing a bike screech in front of it. We were helpless! Stripey was too small. And we watched him take his last breath. Soon Freddie followed (the black one with white). We don't know the real cause of death but PC and I think it was due to food poisoning. Sasha (the one a white snout and black body and brown eye patch) has been missing. We haven't been able to track him and suspect it is the same kid who tried to steal Sasha last time.

A few days back Raven a.k.a Chota (the black one with brownish ears) had an accident and has both his front legs fractured. We are taking care of him and so is Sugar (the brown one). Sugar sits with Raven the whole day and night. He never lets Raven out of his sight. He licks Raven's paws and in a way tells him everything will be alright. It's really quite amazing to see both of them. They are quite adorable. Sugar snuggles next to Raven everytime they sleep. I love to watch them play and often land up joining them while they play. They are so loving!! They keep jumping up and down trying to get a hold of anything that's on you :)

It's going to be really difficult to leave them and go.  :( I do pray that they stay safe.

Look what I got!

Look what I got from PC!! I love tea light candles, lanters, lamps, twinklee lights basically most things that give light. ha ha! So PC has given me the perfect gift. It's a tea light holder which is like shaped like a hot air balloon and it hangs!! It's Super Awesome. I can't tell you how excited I was when I got this and when I lit this up!! Thanks PC! Hugs.

30 only!

I turn 30 today. 3-0, thirty!! Oh My! This morning as I was answering calls and everyone was reminding me of my age I was like Whoaaa.. I never thought I will be 30 some day! I mean all the bhaiyas and didis were in their 30s, not Me!! I don't even feel old. But here I am.
It's supposed to be a big deal stepping into the 30s from your 20s just like how it is when you turn 13 after 12. I am supposed to be more mature and responsible and taken more seriously (heh heh). Lets see how things develop in the next 365 days and see if things change and I start feeling all of the above.
Oh yes and to mark this day I have got my highlights on my hair. I have never ever done anything to my hair except cut it and that too mostly on my birthdays! That says a lot about me, doesn't it! Anywhoo, they look a bit tacky! But who cares, I can do whatever I want. I am 30!!!

Wish List

I want a new camera. Preferably a DSLR. I feel its time I graduate from my point and shoot. My camera has been super special, traveling with me in all my journeys. Its a Sony DSC-W150. A simple point and shoot but could do a lot more. I believe this model was discontinued :(  I love it.
But now I want something more. I feel terrible when I see some people who don't know half the things their DSLRs can do. Not that I know much but then I see their pictures and I feel bad. So mean no! But still I feel its such a waste when a good camera is in the wrong hands :p
It might take a while for me to own one. Hope it's worth a wait!

I can DIM (Do it Myself)

Things have been pretty hectic. I keep thinking of posting and well, I don't. In the past week I did do a bit of DIY and fixed the curtains. They are now of the correct length. Previously they were longer than the door :p

So after getting super duper excited about the fact that I can still do some things myself I have decided to do some more things. But not really decided what. I have been contemplating on making a chalkboard. But haven's had the enthu yet to go to the hardware store. I also have to get a carpenter to make me my full length mirror! And I have an idea to revamp our living room. Its so boring! Let's see how much of all this I complete in the next one month.

Next month is my birthday. And yes I am still excited about my birthday.

Peace
