My Lost Earring

I was stepping inside the bus to get dropped to Central London office and noticed my left earring was missing. I remember I had both early this morning while while checking at the car mirror. The bus was ready to leave in another 2 minutes and had no time to look for the missing one. It was the longest ever earring I have worn so far that I got for myself from the Italy trip.
I did not want to remove the other one and covered my ears with my short hair. After reaching Central London office, I went straight off to a meeting. A weird idea came to my mind. Why don’t I remain all day with one ear ring and see if anyone notices!
Minutes passed Hours passed. Meeting after meeting and not a single soul noticed my missing earring. What’s really going around with my colleagues? Haan?? People don’t notice me? Don’t they really care what I wear?
I returned to my base office with a sunken heart and learnt that a friend of mine had found the missing pair near my desk. While collecting it from her, the news spread around the ladies friends at work. One of them commented ‘You were just promoting Angelina Jolie’s style at work’ and showed me Angie’s picture at Benjamin Button Premiere with One earring!

May be I’m convinced now :-)

AVATAR - An unbelievable experience

Just returned home after watching AVATAR at the wimbledon IMAX theatre. Wanted to share my experience when they are still fresh in my mind ..sorry heart. Remembering Dr.Grace's (Sigourney Weaver) advice to Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) to videotape his feelings when they are still green! I just chose to see a movie this weekend for no good reason - plenty of free time since my family moved back to India with 4 straight days of christmas holidays.

I dont want to narrate the story and want the person who is reading this to experience the movie in his/her own style. I do like fairy tales but honestly not a great fan of Harry Porter, Lord of the Rings or Narnia. The first version of all these movies fascinated me for various techniques but I was not really carried away by any. They were just movies like a passing cloud. Today, it was a different experience.

Along with Jake Sully the director makes everyone in the theatre enter the world of Pandora and be one among the Na'vis. Every tiny creature in the Pandora world is bond with love and striving for the survival of their mother nature. If Beauty lies in the beholder's eyes, Neytiri is the most beautiful lady I ever saw. The truth and the vigour in her eyes bonds us with her magical world. I could never call it a fictitious movie : The concept of Incarnation, portrayal of 'the Navi's' with the expressive yellow eyes, creation of the Avatars with blue bodies, bow and arrow and a tilak on fore head (I found it only for Jake) was unbelievingly impressive. After my 2.30 hr bonding with the movie, neither the cutting edge technologies nor the big budget mattered to me.

All that mattered was 'We killed our Mother earth' and my thirst for the green world begins...

Counting Made Easy

Can anything be more fun than observing a toddler's development. I once read it on baby center that a toddler's brain is like a sponge. Absorbs as much as it could. It is really exciting to see my lil one come up with ideas as a outcome of various things he hear, look and feel.

Last evening he was scribbling (bite me !!! Actually painting) with his pen and brush and started drawing circles. He came to me and said "Mommy … I drew London eye" !!! Gr8 ! Good observation I encouraged (we took him to London eye last weekend)

Then he drew zig zag lines vertically and said " Mommy this is steps" and started walking on the drawing sheet .. hahhaha …"Funny" , I said.

Understanding he is at his best mood I said 'Let me teach you to write 'A' and said, 'Down to up and up to down …and then a line in the middle'. He liked the rhyme and dint get the writing well. I dint push and said "ok , keep trying!"

Then he wrote number '1' and yelled "I wrote 1". That's great and asked him to write number '2'. After thinking for a less than a second he wrote another 1 and said '1 1 Mommy ..it's 2' CHEATTTTTTTT … couldn't control my laugh. When I told this to my fren she said
'Probably he is learning Roman first'
You never know what is in that teeny tiny brain. Don't you??
