Cricket Match Live!! And we lost!!!But am happy…



Thanks to PD’s firm we got two free passes to watch the Mumbai Indians match at Wankhade stadium…The delight on my face when PD called to tell me that we would be hitting off to see the match was so crazy…I was so excited…coz I would get to see all the players live and in front of me playing….


I was to reach the stadium by 8.00 Pm (and its obvious ppl reach late everywhere in Mumbai)…When the local was nearing the churchgate station…I could already hear the oooohhhss and aaahhss...and it looked so exciting and promising…

Till we reached we had already missed out the first 6 overs…and the crowd was in full swing….after reaching our seat …I must mention we were at the sachin stand… (although it was not that great to be in that stand coz all you get to see is his back…and nothing else…why on earth would he look back and wave at me…as I was not even right behind him)…

The view to the ground was good…it looked so filmy…the green green grass looked like they had put a light green carpet on the ground…the flashy lights looked like there was some major thing happening(yes the MI match is surely a major thing…but not when they end up losing with KKR)

MI played really bad…and when we got out right before the last over (coz the match happened to be pretty obvious win for KKR)..All we could hear ppl say is “every time I come to see the match.. MI loses the match”…I remember kids giving out a gujju version of that line too….almost everyone was saying it…and so was I …but it wasn’t that disappointing for me…I enjoyed every bit of the glam sham, noise, music, cheers…every little thing of it..

I screamed and roared in full swing every time when Mumbai was playing well… (Which hardly happened)…I participated in all the Mexican waves that passed by me... you hardly can hear anyone else except for the ones around you…so much noise after all…

All in all what an awesome and a time a to remember….you hardly can see the players coz they all look so teeny weeny from the top…but yes…who cares unless I got to see SACHIN live….…

The we came across PD’s colleagues who were sweet, generous and humored…with a lot of their office gossip we hit it off to pavilion(I think that was the name) at the Alpha to grab some pav bhaji at 2.00pm  …and they dropped us back home…No wonder Mumbai looks the best in the middle of the night with the sparkling lights..  ….



More to come…on the two best things that happened to me last Sunday…Ishaqzaade and Tea for two and a piece of cake  

Palak Paneer & Disappointment

Off late ive been looking forward to cooking something new or the other for PD…Today I made something different than the regular curries…I made palak paneer today. For some it might not be a big deal but for me it was coz of 2 reasons


1. I haven’t cooked it earlier.

2. I cook regular vegetables everyday. This one has paneer so it automatically gets a richer curry.

But yes…my excitement of PD coming home and trying it out soon died after he called me at around 8.30 to say he would be late as he is meeting up with his friends from office… No wonder it is disappointing. And if I tell him anything he would tell me I keep picking faults every now and then…so I have chosen to be quiet and calm today. It’s going to be 10:00 in 10 minutes….and ya I think iam a lil hungry…but I don’t want to eat alone and dose off..would want to try it with PD. I hope he doesn’t eat out and come.

Its unfair on his part to ignore me…but he wouldn’t get it. If I write more ill write about his bad habbits which I don’t want to. Writing bad about your spouse’s represents that your not happy with him/her. Its not that with me I believe that it takes time to adjust and I think I am taking my own time and getting used to his habbits…

But one major difference ive noticed so far after getting married…boy friends are more concerned than husbands are …..its not a generic statement…I say it completely with my experience..and I don’t think it will be the same in your case….your lucky if its not the same in your case…

I hope the palak paneer doesn’t disappoint me as PD has…. a pic of my palak paneer. let me know if anyone wants a recipe..
