Welcome to the Quarter Century Club. It's about damn time. If you think 25 is rough, just think about who will be turning 26 soon! You're officially OLD! I say to myself it only happens once each year. Book the train and pack your gear.Your destination seems unknown, as you sit there, all alone.
By the 25th birthday most people expect to have accomplished something with their lives. There’s only five more years until that big three-O and the average person usually hopes that they are well on their way by their 25th year. They’ll have settled into a place of their own, a job and may even be starting a family all ready. Some new twenty-five year olds might be thinking that they want their party to be a little more grown-up, a little more sensible around this time.
Of course that’s fairly normal. After all the 25th birthday is an important milestone signifying stability and foundation. Even the music channel, MTV celebrated its 25th year of existence in 2006. So what is this all hoopla about turning 25? Am I gonaa hit a jackpot worth 25 million dollars; some kind of wings or some license to flirt with handsome men?
Well well its all about me feeling happy and waiting for all the surprises to come my way. I had a wish list of things to do before I turn 25 like doing exceptional in my field of work, getting a tattoo, pierce my ear, bank balance to look good etc etc.But now it seems like things are going to be tricky. As I am here in this new kingdom, married and without a job in my field; celebrating my 25 birthday without my folks but with the man I love. But I am sure as time passes and I blow off some more candles I would accomplish all of my wish list.
So here’s hoping all dreams to come true as I blow off my birthday candles with loads of luck and wishes.

A Night to Talk About
It’s a night to talk about; it’s a night to remember. It’s a night were the moon was at its best. A walk in the stadium, an occurrence to memorize. I always as a toddler wanted to experience a genuine match from a stadium. I would be in awe what the feeling would be experiencing the whole situation. Gigantic stadium jam-packed with fans, fans cheering, players playing their heart out and the commentator doing his job. It would be a moment to be captured.
26 Aug 2008 is the day and year where I get to experience live US Open Tennis Match.
People pay colossal amount of money to get tickets. I am all excited as the day approaches. Fully clad in my best outfit, matching bags, belt, shoes I run off for work. As I am physically at work and doing my job but mentally I was preparing myself for the twilight. Finally at 4 pm I manage to call it a day and head myself towards to train station to NY.
As soon as I reach NY Penn station I see most of the horde heading for the US Open match. Now the crowd excites me and I am all for it. Questions juggling my head. I seat myself in the LLIR train to the final destination. To my surprise I could see massive collection of people clothed in sports wear heading towards the stadium.
The weather was perfect. As we reached the stadium at 7 pm. The match was about to begin. Just in time. I saw beautifully manicured Progressive Field. The night was striking filled with excitement, fear, laughter, applaud, anxiety, emotions. 4 people decently clad in a uniform and are ready for a march. The match commenced with US National Anthem followed by people marching with the flag.
From a tennis fan's perspective, this tournament is a joy to attend. If you were looking for familiar names, then perhaps this was the event for you, although Venus Williams, Maximo, Roger Frederer, kept the crowds coming.
Then there are the surprise stories and hidden gems that might be lost amongst the chaos of a larger event. Here are a few of the enjoyable players that I had a chance to see.
Another aspect that made this tournament so enjoyable was the smaller size of the event. Everything was right where you needed it and all the courts were in the same vicinity. From the top of Center Court, I could swivel around and see the other Court along with courts 1 and 2. It made viewing much easier and made it seem like I was in several spots at once. After I saw Frederer and Maximo play we walked out of the main stadium leisurely walking towards the exit and there we spot Leander Peas. One of India’s optimum Tennis player. We headed towards the court and could see him play doubles closely. It was enjoyable to root for a player from your own country.
It has certainly been a pleasure to meet so many talented and respectful players this week
Finally I got the tickets for free. Met the greatest players. My experience in this event was nothing short of amazing and I truly look forward to returning again next year.

Beautiful Trip
Why don’t I remember?
When I was a little kid
It took me a while to sit and thing
Let me enter back in time to those beautiful trips
Which I would never want to skip
Where it was always fun and play
When it used to be April – May
Back to having all my strings
Look at all the happiness it brings
Why don’t I remember?
When I was a little kid
Dad would take me for walks
And we would walk the talk
Where Playing was fun
Fighting happened
Money was saved
For the Ice creams we craved
Still those memories
I would want them to be
Remembered for ever
And never let it get older
When I was a little kid
It took me a while to sit and thing
Let me enter back in time to those beautiful trips
Which I would never want to skip
Where it was always fun and play
When it used to be April – May
Back to having all my strings
Look at all the happiness it brings
Why don’t I remember?
When I was a little kid
Dad would take me for walks
And we would walk the talk
Where Playing was fun
Fighting happened
Money was saved
For the Ice creams we craved
Still those memories
I would want them to be
Remembered for ever
And never let it get older

Bloggers Day July 30 2008!
This is one of those lazy posts. Nothing precise. There is no such day that exists. But I thought why not. If there can be Mother’s day, Father’s day, Valentine’s Day, Friendship day and you name it we have it. So I just thought of celebrating today as Bloggers day. You may want to celebrate it some other day. Go ahead and do it. It’s not even on a weekend.
Well to be quite truthful I was just analyzing on how a woman dedicated a day to her mother following her death on May 9, 1905, devoted her life to establishing Mother's Day as a national, and later an international, holiday.
Ther may be other reasons to celebrate these days. But the point here is everybody blindly follows it. For instance I never knew the reason why I celebrated Mother’s day,Father’s day and all. I just went with the flow. As it was fun thing to do in college celebrating Freindship’s day, Valentine’s Day.
Well let me confess I had nothing to do. So here I am on my way finding innovative ideas to kill time. It’s a way to realx. Relaxation is the key allowing your writing to inspire you. So I thought let me blog and pen down my thoughts.Was trying means and ways to be famous by introducing a day called Bloggers Day! Don’t know how much of the attempt is going to be paid. But I guess a start to this is a good sign. At least if it does we can expect a holiday adding up to our list.
So here I am wishing all you amazing bloggers a “Happy Bloggers Day”! Keep those creativity flowing from your mind to your blog.
Lastly- if you enjoy these posts, be good and comment.

Krazy Lamhe
I don’t know if I am crazy when sometimes out of the blue I feel like singing aloud.
I don’t know if I am unusual from others when suddenly I feel like dancing & getting drenched in the rain.
I don’t know if I am still childish when I have a sudden urge to have ice cream as I step out on the road.
I don’t know if I am foolish to feel teen when I am 25

I don’t know if I am foolish to feel teen when I am 25
I don’t know if I am imprudent when I break the crockery while I am washing the dishes.
I don’t know if I am rash while driving speed feeling I am in a race chase.
I don’t know if I am still juvenile to be treated like one by my dad.
I don’t know if I am still youthful to have crush on someone.
I don’t know if I act babyish when everybody around wants you to be mature.
I don’t know if I am silly when I get excited on my new dress, shoes, bags and watches.
I don’t know if I am impractical when decisions need to made.
I don’t know if I am shabby when I drop things when I eat.
I don’t know if I am inane if I am possessive about my friends.
I don’t know if you feel the same as I do, if you do then how am I different from you.
Yellow Mood
It’s been a year now that my sudden fondness for the color yellow keeps growing.
Everything which is yellow attracts me. Not that I am bee but I behave like one. My wardrobe has all colors but you will find additional yellow tint to it. Not that I don’t like any other color but I guess it’s the summer that makes me do it. Its also the nature way you can say when leaves of the tree turn yellow during fall.
So here I go with a list of gifts that i expect from my love for my upcoming 25th birthday. I tell him how about 25 special gifts and he goes what are you serious?? I guess am watching too much of romantic movies. Now how can I overlook my college days when I was just 19 and it was Valentine’s Day. I and Mega go for this all day romantic movies been running in a theater close to our college. As we were the only ones I guess at that time didn’t believe in having boyfriends and contemplated all those couple were stupid. And in one of those American Drama flick with Keanu Reeves & Charlize Theron where he surprises her during thanksgiving dinner with some 27 gifts. How I then said to myself there will be a day when my love would do that for me and I would fall all over in love with him. I was sad to see the movie end, but appreciative of the journey it took me on.
One of the many flaws in my personality is that I am spontaneous. I confess I am baffled by the entire concept. Well if I define spontaneous its not that I decide a day before or hours before, five minutes in advance. But how about, say, few seconds in advance? Is that still planned, or is it getting closer to being spontaneous? So all that I am trying to communicate here is if I happen to like a dress in a shopping mall I want it then. There is nothing called as later. Clothes are so sensational along with marvelous yellow, pink. I do have a little bag fetish and not to forget my fetish for watches. And there are some shopping genes dancing around in me.
If I see an ice cream parlor, I almost always know the ice cream will end up in my mouth before it happens. Speaking of yellow how I want my yellow dress to be matched with a yellow sandal along with it to match yellow accessories. And then I say to myself ‘Perfect’. Everything matches each other. So I am all sunshine and sun flowery. All I wish I had a yellow bag to go along with it.
Look at me I murmur. Did he notice my new dress, new shoes & earrings? I decorated myself and took couple of hours extra just to be noticed by him. As he proudly says so you applied all of your makeup in that little tool box you carry all the time.
Ah just to let you know I shopped this weekend and I picked yellow again. Celebrating Yellow & Sunshine!
