The Power Outage Poem

We had a short power outage yesterday or rather today morning in the early hours...I composed this poem when I was struggling with my sleep...its funny how I could do it with such ease in my semi-conscious state of mind, but here it is.....I have used full poetic license, so don't go chasing me on the grammar or practicality.

There comes a moment in Everyone's Life;
When all you want is Peace and Quiet
At a time when confusion and stress is rife;
Yesterday night was my Night

There was no power in my house;
There was no power in my neighbourhood
No TV,no Fan nor Computer to Browse;
Or stove to cook any Food

No,I will not crib,No,I will not complain;
My husband, no choice he had but to spend time with me
Oh, It was all my Gain,my Gain,my Gain;
Oh peaceful night when again will come thee

There comes a moment in Everyone's life
When All you want is Peace and Quiet
At a time when confusion and stress is rife;
Yesterday night was my Night

-Peshla

TLC Sept 14th

Today I took a good 15 minutes just deciding whom to take out. Most of the dogs are new...n my old friends are all gone..as in, they found a home :).....Finally I decided to take Barb a 10 year old Female Pit Bull...she is huge...but damn gorgeous. She kinda reminds me of Spike in Tom n Jerry...he he...she looks intimidating because of her frame , but she is a such a gentle dog. Loves attention and wants you to pet her every two minutes...she doesn't really play much.Only likes to chase running people and then jump on them for treats. She finished all the treats I had in my pouch and shamelessly kept asking me for more. She does obey some commands like sit and stay hence she was easy to handle, except when she was on the leash, where you have to use all your strength to walk her. Very affectionate,gentle and patient, Barb was my dog of the day!

The story of a puddle

These are some of the very first pictures I shot using my husband's Nikon D90.I have been looking for them for a while now and was disappointed thinking I lost them...today a 2 hour rummaging through all the files helped me find them. While taking the D90 for some practise shots I came across this small water puddle behind our car in the parking lot...and what can be better,it had rained the previous day and there was water dropping into the puddle creating small bubbles. This puddle might have been a small and insignificant one but it sure was worth taking pictures of.Well I tried to capture the Life cycle of this Bubble. Water has always fascinated me, whether it be in the form of an ocean, in a glass,in the form of rain or then again like this in the form of a puddle. The Piscean in me thinks it is one of the most beautiful elements of nature.

Once again people....Miss Rai!

Sandesh and me saw this on one of those MTV top 100 sexiest celebs list on TV may be about an year ago or so...the list had most of our favourite Hollywood actors/models/sports people etc...but we were not expecting to see miss Rai in the top ten(sexiest celebs,watch the video)...as always I say she is truly one of the most popular stars in India and for the very first time there is an actress who is bigger than the Khans and the Bachchans of the Industry...though technically she is a Bachchan herself today....

My friends and me have been having this discussion of late...what is so different about Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai, both of them won international titles the same year, ofcourse on the looks department Aishwarya was always the winner and Sushmita sen was the intelligent one, ...and this is all I can think of...Sushmita Sen may be the Intelligent one but Aishwarya Rai is the 'Smart' one and that makes a lot of difference. ....her latest issue of Verve says it all.....it is said that some people cant accept her beauty,they cant stand the perfection, they think it is not possible for someone to look so beautiful without some 'nip' n 'tuck'...but the truth is god made her so perfect, forget going under the knife she doesn't even need make up to look at that gorgeous....Way to go Aishwarya
