I dont know how many of u remember me and all my rumblings :)

Its been a long time since ive written[read-i am booked]. Would it be cliched if i said life has a 360 degree turn. ??

Bloggers has been a paradise as long as i was on it..but now, i have found my paradise else where.

Getting married in exactly three days from now, i was just reminsicing all the stuff i did before i found my new land..and could not help checking my good old bloggers account..:)

I have learnt a lot from here,from so many people but today when i look at my dashboard with easily about 75 comments to be moderated..and 90 followers,all i can do is smile and say thank u..

i am not sure when i will come back here.but am sure my love for writing will bring me here soon..

till then, all i want to gather is your love and ur good wishes before i begin my new journey with my soulmate.

P.S Will u still read me if i am back after a sabbatical??

Love
M@dhu

Good ol' days!

2010-09-20T23:07:00.000-07:00

The magic of those days..God!

I miss those days,

When "innocence" was natural!

Wish those days came back!!!

When "getting high" meant sitting on a see-saw.

When "Drinking" meant Rasna Orange.

When "Dad" was my only hero.

When "love" was hidden in my mom's hug!

When my "Dad's shoulder" was the highest place in the world!

When my "worst enemies" were my siblings.

When the only thing that "hurt" was my bleeding knees.

When the only things "broken" were toys.

When "summer holidays" meant going to my grand parents place.

When "communication" meant writing inland letters with a 5rs stamp stuck to it.

When "birthday gifts" meant new clothes or a trip to the movie.

When "weekends" meant going the park or zoo with my parents.

When "Good bye's" lasted only till the next day.

P.S I miss those days when i never cared about the punctuation marks or grammatical mistakes in anything i wrote.

A tamilian at heart...:)

2010-07-26T22:53:00.000-07:00

Psst! Brush off Ur thoughts if u are thinking that i am about to write a post on my culture,my religion etc! I have been a tamilian[since birth!] and probably will always remain one. i have this mixed ethnic background behind me because,i am a tamilian born in kerala and brought up in Hyderabad [a mix of Telugu,Tamil,Hindi and Malayalam cultures]. I can effortlessly mix into any of these cultures without letting out an inkling about my background! Oh did i say? Madhumita is actually a Bengali name!

But off late i realised [read=mom's pressure drilling] that at the end of the day,its my culture that i am superbly proud of!

. I love biriyani, but my mouth waters every time anybody mentions Thayir Saadam {curd rice}

. I read a lot of magazines and books,but a tamil magazine always grabs my notice however boring it is!

. I am super crazy about Shah Rukh Khan.But my heart skips a beat every time i see Surya or Madhavan on screen.

. Though i eat in the normal glass/steel plates, i never miss out on an opportunity to eat on banana leaves.

. I can have effortless conversation with anybody,anywhere but having a conversation with a tamilian always gives me a high.

. I hate tamil films[most of them] but i never miss a rajnikanth film irrespective of how lousy it may be!

. I read a lot of blogs,but i love reading tamil blogs and have a soft corner for tamil bloggers!

I am not trying to promote tamil culture through this post. I have read/seen/heard people treating Tamil's in a different way.I have seen Tamil's being laughed upon.This post was just a reality check on myself . I am a tamilian and i am proud of that..:)

P.S This post is dedicated to all Tamil's who have/have not faced any kind of discrimination. We may not be like others,but we sure have our heart in the right place.!!

H@ppy Birthd@y C@reless Whispers..:)

My baby just turned one.Exactly three hours ago...:)

Yeah,careless whispers was born an year back on the same date.June 1st! And it has gone a long way.It has.Right? Ahem! So birthday wishes and lots of love from my side to my baby.

My blog was one of the best things that ever happened.Leave alone getting comments and reviews from some lovely people on my page,there is no networking site that that has given me the freedom that my blog has.My blog was named Careless Whispers because it reflects me and my personality. Fun and casual. And the blog address was named danceofsound because it again is simply me,a person who cannot live without sound[music] and dance!

I have learnt a lot here,read some lovely stuff,got to know some lovely people from all across the world.Yet,it seems like a small little happy family.Are u agreeing with me?

I wish to acknowledge the ones who make my blog sparkling.And i am doing that by adding their names right here on this special post. Here it goes.

Srivatsan, RJ gautam, Bee didi, Gokul, Kelvin, Blunt Edges ,.Nipun, Rahul, Esther, Mohit , Buckin FAstard, Shriti, Mahesh , Gaurav, Rishi, Prithwish , Navin, Jon, Suruchi, Vintage Obsession, Chandrika, Chandu, Divya, Deepti, Hary , Dhanya, Archana, SAtish Bikram & Sid.

P.S Thank u for tolerating me,irrespective of whether u liked my blog or not.U guys always make me smile..:)

Why my blog is better than yours?

2010-04-07T23:25:00.000-07:00

Blogville! One of the best places ever! Atleast the best among what ive been introduced to by friends. Today,being a Proud Blogger i will scribble in as to why my blog is better than yours!

# .It is super relatable.It does not bring out topics of discussions from a no-mans land.U can read it and think "hey! I've been through this!"

#The length of the posts are always moderate.Bearable in my terms!

# It never puts up 5 posts in three days.

#Its always has a picture demonstration incase u cant understand the topic being written about.

# The title always misleads.Its practically tells u that "All that glitters is not gold"

#The template is more or less constant.It makes u feel like home!

#It makes it a point to be straight and sweet on the face.The rest is cooked outside though!

#it never shows u the right dates or days of the post.Its reflects my personality because i mess up dates and days big time.

# It replies to every comment that comes its way.Which shows that it respects and values its guests!

#Its does not play any background music.Instead,it offers u a peaceful reading experience!

#It does not seek publicity.Its believes that,if u are good people will surely take notice.

#It does not offer u numerous click here or click there.It is non- messy.

#It comments on every blog it follows.

#In short,it attempts to bring a smile on the face of all those who reads it.

P.S I know its too much of a self build up,but having a bad time.This was just to boost myself up.

P.P.S The nezt time,ill try and be modest! [ i said ill try! :P:D]

To Grandma,with love.

2009-12-04T01:04:00.000-08:00

The very word "Grandma" brings a smile on my face.Am sure it must bring one on yours too.For me,my grandmom has been by far the most positive person i have come across in my entire life.She at 82 can pass across as a teenager with the same amount of zeal and enthusiasm.I haven't been fortunate enough to have a grand dad [both from the maternal and paternal side] but my granmom sums it all up.Even till date,she has been with me through every minute happening in my life and it would not be an exaggeration if i say that, i am what i am because of her.

Thats exactly why i dedicate this post to her,for she has been,

*Someone who held my hand everytime i tripped intentionally or unintentionally.

*Someone who never stopped supporting me even if the whole world turned against me.
*Someone who never encouraged the word "no"
*Someone who gave me unconditional love,especially when i did not deserve it.
*Someone who never wiped that smile on her face even when she was low,only to see me happy.
*Someone who was always around me,even if she wasnt physically present.
*Someone who till date oils my hair knowing fully well that i don't like it.
*Someone who never punished me for lying ,because she thought lies were a part of growing up.
*Someone who made my favorite dishes and fed me just when i wanted it,without being told.
*Someone who made me a "cleanliness freak"
*Someone who taught me life's two golden words.Forget and Forgive.
*Someone who inspires me till date and teaches me those lessons that my parents dont.

Paatti, {grandma in tamil!] u've truly been a guiding force,and your indomitable will power is more than just enough to make me skate through all hurdles.

Love,
Ur grand daughter!

Cofee or kaapi....still lazin over it..!!

2009-07-03T22:59:00.000-07:00

They say...its all in the name. For many,the term 'coffee' means "lets just hang out!" Do u know how many actually go out and have one?

Let me just tell u why i chose this topic as my post.Yesterday evening i was watchin vijay TV [all u tamilians will know it!] and a popular [read -my favorite] show "Koffee with anu" was going on.the show was pathetically boring[Its not always boring] and i started enjoying my coffee rather than watchin what was going on.[i fought with dad for the remote!]

I wondered what my life would be if i had not got addicted to this perfect drink.[i dont want to think of that too!] Simply lazing over a cuppa coffee seems like all great things in life are perfectly stored only in that one moment [I sit with it for hours though :p] I so much look forward to having it everyday!

I remember an incident when i got a call one morning regarding some enquiry about the music classes i take. The lady speaking to me said that she would bring her son for the test class at 5 in the evining.And my immediate reaction was nahiiiiiiiiii [dramatic eh?? I am a nautanki queen! :p]. All this only cauz i would have to miss my coffee time[Am very punctual abt it!].And i literally told her to c0me the next day,in the morning.Too much aint it?? Thats how posessive abt my personal "me times" [ coffee time is one such!]

Tamilians especially are very particular about their coffee.Any tamilian readin this would agree with me.Yesterday i had been to divyas place and her mom offered me coffee.i was so foolish and went on to ask her wheather it was bru/nescafe or was it filter coffee.Her mom casually answered,'Of course filter coffee!" I was so embarassed havin asked that.Any tamilian household swears by filter coffee.Infact at my place one can come down for a coffee at any odd hour! The coffee filter is full 24/7.My dad cannot step out of the house without havin his "cuppa kaaapi" [thats the way we tamilians spell it!]

Though any typical tamil household have thier coffee in steel tumblers.But i am an exception![I always am one! :P] I have a fetish for coffee mugs.I remember my economics maam gifting my first ever coffee mug.Damn! It was so pretty.An orange mug which read "To a darling student" I still have it with me.It was then that i started hunting for coffee mugs.I pick them up at every place i shop.I can boast of owning more than a 30 of different kinds of mugs.Paper print mugs,steel ones,black mugs,colourful ones,signature mugs.phew! i own em all!I am still greedy about it :P My mum always tells me [when i run out of pocket money] to sell all my mugs!! My students also know about it and end up gifting me one every birthday.[now u know what i would love being presented on my birthday :P]

As they say [the coffee day logo] " A lot can happen over coffee" .Ask me! A lot does happen over coffee.Friends drop in my place for our coffee sessions![Read=Bitchin sessions] And madz is completely lost if she does not have her daily dose of one! Coffee is somethin thats close to my heart.As silly as that sounds,i am sure every coffee addict would agree to me in unision! Coffee makes me think better [creatively too!] Its the best drink ever!!

So! Here i am! Yet sippin a cup of coffee enjoyin every bit of its aroma and taste!!And yeah! Dont disturb!! :P:D
