Visit to Sidhivinayak at morning

After long time, almost after a year I visited Sidhivinayak Temple. The first time I went with my mom, and then it has always been with my other friends. Today I went to temple after finishing my university papers with my college friends T.T and Richa. We all decided to meet at 7 O'clock at morning but with no surprise we all met at 8. We took 8.10 local and began our journey. Again with no surprise these 2 geeks giggled on the way I boarded the train. Who bothers???? Whatever the case may be I managed to get a seat for myself and reserve for my 2 friends too.

Even though the train was crowded, it didn't seem to us only because we all 3 were busy chatting with each other. And T.T really didn't realize that we are in train, she started her chats with loud voice; in between she used few filmy punch lines too, which I found very amusing. She didn't realize that ladies around us are listening to us with their ears stark open even though they were not looking at us most of the times.

One of the funny moments I would like to describe is like, A lady was standing between Richa and T.T, and T.T was all enthu to tell both of us regarding few other friends, but the lady who was standing in between was wearing a dupatta which was acting like a veil in between T.T and Richa which was actually disturbing their conversation, T.T was actually trying to push that dupatta aside and keep eye contact with Richa. The lady standing in between was almost frustrated. Well whatever happened in train, we all enjoyed chatting after long time.

After reaching Dadar stn, we reached at Temple by walking within few mins. We all went inside after a huge struggle we had to over come flower vendors, who almost trapped us all with the intention to coax us to buy offerings for lord. Somehow we escape that (thnx god). We went inside the temple, there wasn't much crowd in the temple, and we all were happy to pray. We all sat for few minutes praying in front of god, most of the time T.T and I was chatting. Later on when we were passing by we saw few people gather around the idol of 2 mice and whispering in his ears. I never did that earlier when I visited the temple, but today I did. I wished for something ( I hope my wish comes true). Then we went to a nearby restaurant to have some snacks and then return back to home. But while returning both of them were not there with me, they were enjoying. [:)]

2 States...... book by chetan Bhagat

Today I would rather talk about this book than about myself. I have been suggested to read this book by my frnd, and reading this book has been a real pleasure. It gave me deep insight into relationship which is above race, caste, religion, language everything.
Plot:
This book is Chetan Bhagat's own story of marriage as the book's title read.
A guy who entered into IIMA finds a classmate who being from few girls; has become an attention seeker in the B-school. Very unconventional story about how they support each other and without even saying those 3 precious words "I love you" they start enjoying each others company and fell in love. Both of them strive to be with each other and want their relationship to culminate in marriage. Being held from two different states, it was obviously a very difficult job to convince their parents. But albeit faced by all odds, they managed to marry each other at last.

The specially of this book is, there is no much description about things, the story is cut short, and an Indian reader would surely laugh his heart out while reading this book. The conversation is very witty, the imaginations and metaphors used to describe things and situations are purely a creation of Indian mind, so readers too would feel that Indianness while reading this novel.

What I loved about this book is, it is truly captivating. Made me realize what lies ahead of me if I am suppose to marry a guy.

I would suggest it is a must read book
