I found a new meaning of my name


Today on Janmashtami, I have found a new meaning of my name...a story behind my name..actually Shipra was a swan's name who was saved by God krishna...i can not believe it that i was unaware of this story till date and googling my name gave me such a beautiful link.


Yes the meaning of my name is "Swift" well not wrong actually goes well with my personality he he ;)

But only thing i was wondering was why did the he-swan had my name??? Dont they have a difference in girlish name and a boyish name????


Read the story of my name here

Happy Janmashtami to all :)

My brother smiles when i say "maggi"

Upgrade your email with 1000's of cool animationsYesterday after a long time i went to watch TV in my mom's room. i was little low and my comp was also infected with tons of virus and i formatted it and then realised that i dont have device driver CD...so with all those tensions..i entered into my mom room to see what she was watching. She as usual was watching CNBC and a program called "awaaz". not bad...after a while i asked her if i can change the channel and surf for the time being. Thankfully she agreed.

I started surfing and all the channel like sony, Zee, Star plus were showing some stupid long SOAPs. Tortures from ekta..naah...so i surfed further and then saw some music channels...some new releases and some bhojpur albums..then some ugly looking female with minimal clothes on her body dancing in awkward style. Sitting with mom and watching that adult dance was little difficult. So moved further. Now i came to a channel where commercials were coming. So thought of resting before mom comments on that song. Some new ads and pretty cool ads. I liked them and enjoyed watching ads.

Now after a while, there comes an ad which i guess is new. Ad was for Asian paints.

There are two kids who are at home. The girl must be around 8-9 yrs and guy little younger then her. This Ad girl is also coming in Ads of HDFC (na sir jhuka hai kabhi). She is sitting with the boy and boy is doing some paper cutting. He is little nervous for cutting the documents of his dad...then this girl provokes him and says "kaat kaat..dar mat"...

The boy after listening to her and after getting approval from didi cuts the whole paper and makes a fish and pastes on a blue color wall. They both stand and look there a moments and she exclaims " now it looks like a sea"

Then they see a green color wall with stripes in one room and then this guy goes all over his dad's documents and finds a big thick book with leopard print page. He wants to cut but something holds him back. This small girl who is watching him doing that sense his fear and then says "arre kaat na..bindaas kaat"...boy smiles and he torns the book into peices and make a leopard and then paste it on the wall to give it a look of Zoo. They both now look at the wall and appreciate how orignal it has come and all of a sudden the phone rings in the other room. the girl rushes to answer the call. It was her dad.

He asks her abt younger brother and she says " Ohh Chintu, woh to kuch cutting shutting kar raha hai" putting all the blame on younger brother...the expressions of the kids are worth watching. The Ad has come so nicely...it touches the perfection and pictures the childhood so well.

Such a masterpeice. I laughed and laughed thinking of my days...it reminded me of how i tortured my brother.

I lost in the past and recalled my cute little brother who was in his 5th standard eating maggi from his plate. Mom had divided the maggi in two plates equally. He was eating it while it was hot. i told him to eat slow otherwise it will burn the tounge but he did not listen. I always had to lure him in different ways. So i told him to leave the spoon and eat with fingers as its tastes better. he was so innocent that he dropped his spoon on the table and immitated me. I asked him sweetly "isnt it tasting better than what u were having" He nodded. Next day he repeated my process. But my mind was always full of mischieves. How cud i have spared him...i went in the other room and finished my maggi. Then came back to where he was sitting, he was watching some cartoons. I went and sat opposite to him with a very sick face...sick in the sense bhikaari face. He looked at me and asked what happend. I collected all the innocence and pain of the world on my face and said to him " mummy doesnt love me..she gave u extra and little to me..i am a girl thats why". He melted and said oh...then asked me to get a bowl. I went to kitchen smiling in a crooked way and got the bowl. He gave me some 2-3 spoons and asked "happy?".

I was like flat on his innocence. I thought of trying it next day also. Always had a plan B in my mind. asked him for maggi and he said ..."dont tell me mom has become partial forever" i said no she hasnt..but she had 3 spoons from my plate so i got lesser than u...Oh my plan B worked and he gave me some from his plate again. Third day i went and asked him again after finishing my plate...he gave without asking anything...must have smelled my intentions...days passed and i continued with it. But never slapped a little less when we fought, no concession for extra maggi.

One day, he realised all of a sudden that i have been fooling him for quite some time so when this time i went and asked him for maggi...he asked"what happened to your maggi". I gave him excuse saying that i fell in the staircase and some portion of maggi was on the floor. He did not give..i requested him again..so he after pitying me gave me one spoon of maggi...after finishing that i asked him "bhaiya thodi aur de na plsssss" he gave again...then i asked him for the third time "bhaiya pet nahin bhara..thodi aur de de..." he gave a spoon further and said "le bhookhi" he sensed that i was making fun of him all these days...then when i asked him for the fourth time he ran to mom and asked "did u give less to her?" ...mom how cud she lie on my mischiefs and wasnt aware of my naughty things...she replied "no beta..why what is this chuhiya doing".

He came back to me with mom and said "now tell what all u told for maggi". I was silent and then said "mom bhaiya se maine thodi si maggi maangi to bolta hai tu meri behen nahin hai..bhookihi hai...and gaali di" Mom was shocked. this cute boy was stunned and said wait i will give u more maggi....got his plate back and licked it all over and said now u can take...aahhh smart chap...in my company he became smart...

it was fun to recall...i still tease my brother for maggi and other things...he was the cutest little brother i ever saw...he was so damn innocent...today if we eat maggi he comes and put 3 spoons automatically without me asking...on being asked he said "purana hisab hai bhai"

The gods too are fond of a joke.

Upgrade your email with 1000's of cool animationsI dont know but i can never stop playing pranks. Thats something which i enjoy most. i feel that life is very boring otherwise. i love to see ppl reacting when they come to know it was me who actually made them react in a peculiar manner. latest prank was played by me at 1.32 p.m today.

I was talking to someone on yahoo messenger and then thought of giving him missed calls. The person did not have my number. So gave 2-3 small missed calls. But there was no response. I thought of teasing him by anonmyous messages...but he did not respond to my missed calls. I was expecting a missed call for my missed call if not a sms. But miser by basic qualification and diploma holder in laziness this guy did not call back. Finally i had to shift to my plan B. i called up again and instead of missed calls thought of talking. His cell is ringing...tring tring

he: hello
me: who is this
he: who are u?
me: may i know your name plz?
he: ____(told his correct name)
me: actually i got missed calls from this number so wanted to know who is behind
he: well i did not call
me: but i got couple of missed calls. i could not attend as i was not at my desk
he: miss i dont know, but i have not made any call (in proper US accent)
me: well are u sure?
he: yes
me: why dont you check with your kids if by mistake they had dial my number
he: well actually i am living in a boys hostel (blushing and saying hostel....he wanted to prove how young he is for kids and all ;) )
me: Oh! I am sorry..why dont u check with your friends if someone was trying to reach me or something?
he: i just got up and nobody has entered into my room from the morning so thats also not possible.

me: oh are u sure
he: yes..but I am really sorry if you got a missed call from this number.Sorry for the trouble cause.
me: anyways...by the way whats your name?
he: my name is _____ and i am studying at ___ (with pride as if he is gng to get a gold medal)
me: ok thanks munnu...he he
continues...

Yes it was munnu at IIM C who was fooled by me today...who actually believed that some kewl babe called him up enquiring for something...poor bhai..grow up...imagine he blushed when i asked him abt his kids :))

he he...

The thread which binds..."Rakhi"


Thread of Rakhi is the essence of brother and sister attachment and sharing.

Sad that cud not tie rakhi to any of my brothers. Could not wish any of them on the real day. Guilty about not sending Rakhis on time.

I know i cant make it up for it until next yr but i can assure my cute and caring brothers that my love for them will always be there and i always wish good luck for them. My wishes are always there for "U".

I dont have many brothers infact i dont tie rakhis to my cousins also.But there are few ppl in life whom i consider my brothers and good friends. Rishi, Sourabh bhaiya, Raj, kamlesh bhaiya, Abhi, and Vishak. Thanks for being there. I am lucky to have you in my life.
