Man=Woman!? But yet!
Here is a Woman, who is as much educated as her Husband;
Who is working at office as much as he do;
One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like her husband, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to woman for their culinary achievements;
One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much he do for 20-25 years of her life;
One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt his home, his family, his ways and even his family name;
One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while he sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen
One, who is expected to make breakfast first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as he is, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to;
But Yet!
If a man wakes up late – He might be tired!
If a woman wakes up late – She is lazy!
If a man doesn’t get vegetables – He is too busy!
If a woman doesn’t get vegetables – She is so irresponsible!
If a man doesn’t eat well – His wife is not taking care!
If a woman doesn’t eat well – Can’t she take care of herself!
If a man wants to see his parents – He should go!
If a woman wants to see his parents – Why does she go so often!
If a man gets married – He should take care of his family!
If a woman gets married – She should take care of his family!
If a man comes late from office – He is such a hard worker!
If a woman comes late from office – She don’t take care of home at all!
If a man changes after marriage – He sacrifices for her!
If a woman changes after marriage – She is ought to change!
If a man meets his friends – He can’t leave friends for wife!
If a woman meets her friends – She can’t leave husband for friends!
If a man takes his wife to an electronics store – He loves electronics a lot!
If a woman takes him to a jewelry store – Why don’t she understand that he feels so boring!
If a man watches an action movie – Why can’t she also watch along!
If a woman watches a soap serial – Why can’t she see something he will also like!
If a man had to cook on a day – How sweet he is!
If a woman had to skip cooking a day – Why don’t she get that eating out is not good for health!
If a man had to manage kids – He will be so stressed at office to do that!
If a woman had to manage kids – She should be able to manage both office and home equally!
Man>=Woman
Woman<=Man
But still they are equal right!?

An hour with a butterfly
I have been seeing movies in which butterflies come and sit on heroine’s hand and always wished if it was me… So, that I get to touch and feel the tenderness of butterfly… I don’t know what phenomenon they used - If they usually wait for butterfly to come and do that shot for them or if they will force it to do so somehow…
Saturday, I and meenu went to watch milenge milenge at 10AM… The movie was so small (2hrs) and we did not feel like going home so early… So, we went to lalbagh for taking few snaps…
I could get a good shot of a beautiful path with a couple who added up to the scene...
Found few beautiful bugs in the grass…
Chased them for around half an hour to get good macro shots of them…
Then we moved on to capture few butterflies… All of them literally made me run behind them without even posing for me once… I was wet with sweat by then and thought of giving up… Then meenu joked saying that- ‘Like Priyanka chopra in Love story 2050, just open your palm and call it with all your heart and it will come to you’… And I was like- ‘Come on madam, such things happen only in movies’…
There was one butterfly which was like a brown velvet cloth piece sitting calmly on some plant… I loved it so much as it was giving good poses for my camera… I took my camera so close to it to get a macro shot and finally disturbed it… It flew away, but it was moving just around me… Then I opened my palm just like that… And you don’t believe it, but it came and sat on my hand for 2 secs… It was so wonderful feeling… Butterfly was so tender and soft… It was just like a cool breeze touching my palm… I don’t know why but I was overwhelmed with happiness…
It again came and sat on another plant around me, and I continued its photo shoot… After few minutes it flew around and sat on my left shoulder… I could not believe that… Meenu was also so shocked and staring at it… I thought of having a snap with my darling and tried handling camera in my hand to meenu… But it did not stay longer than 10 secs and I missed such a wonderful snap… Anyway the feeling that left in my heart was so wonderful… I felt that we have some special bonding… (I am not kidding… I really had that feeling… You know…) I did not feel like leaving it and coming home… I felt like spending more time with it… I don’t know what it liked in me… Meenu guessed that it might be the pure white dress I was wearing… But that special feeling made my day… Such a lovely feeling I never ever experienced in my life…

A break from bugging office :)
Hmm… That was a lovely cloudy afternoon… I and my friend Meenakshi went for lunch to cafeteria and had to eat some non-sense stuff there having no other option… After a nice chat together and in such a lovely weather, we did not feel like going back to the office to break our heads with those boring boxes (oh! You might be calling them as computers)… Felt like going on a long drive… felt like having an ice cream too after such a tasteless lunch… But could not help going back to desk, after thinking about manager’s face once…
The work was bugging me so much and after sometime my brain went to sleep mode… Could not come back to active even after a small coffee break… So, I decided not to waste time and could not resist going out on a drive… I don’t have a bike… I was wondering if my colleague would lend me hers for an hour or so… She said ‘OK but take care’… That was fantastic… Took my camera (can never do without it) and went to meenu’s desk and pulled her out of office along with me… he he… I know… I disturbed her work too… But I don’t want to miss her company and also… I don’t want her to miss such fun as well…
I decided to show her a hill just behind a temple which I daily pass-by in my office cab… And also I always wanted to have a small photo shoot there…
We loved the place a lot… It was so calm and cool… No one else was there… We headed to top of that small hill from the temple where we parked our bike… Wow!!! We were speechless seeing the view of coconut trees like a green carpet from the top of that hill…
There was a huge water tank on top of that small hill around which a small path way was laid…
We tried to explore a bit of flora and fauna around that place…
I tried capturing a red and black Chameleon I never saw before but by the time I went there, it escaped into shrubs… Shit!!! I wish I had a DSLR camera… So that I would have zoomed and captured it before it would have escaped… I was damn angry on it for not smiling at my camera and decided I won’t take any portrait of it… Then just beside the rock from where it escaped there were these lovely wild flowers…
Then I saw another Chameleon which posed for my camera… Though it was not so colorful, I loved it as it gave me a nice look into my lens…
Not to mention that we ate yummy ice cream while returning back… Don’t be so jealous ok… But just take some time out of your busy schedules and do something which re-energizes you… It might be just a talk with close friend… It might be reading a book or painting something… But never get too mechanical…
