This is long overdue, but it’s been hard to post when there isn’t much going on in our lives right now…it’s horrible looking for a job in this market. These are pictures of pizza I made with my mom…it looks better than it tasted! Something happened to the crust, possibly because we left the dough too long…but needless to say it was a lot of fun!

A transcendent experience.

Since, I don’t have school anymore I find it difficult to keep myself busy doing things that are meaningful and productive. Drawing is something I really enjoy and it always makes me happy…it’s a de-stressor for me and I probably never appreciated it as much as I did a few days ago! It was relieving to forget about everything that was happening around me and just concentrating on every pen stroke I made.
Here’s what I did -


Jasmine
She Lingered

It was raining furiously when he saw her. Sitting on a park bench seeming like a fresh, crisp and clear autumn day, but drenched still. In a black dress, bare foot. And just like that she had vanished.
She lingered in his mind. She lingered.
“Happy birthday man!” said John. It was his birthday. John had been trying to divert his attention from whatever, whoever had it. He had seemed distant for days now.
Concerned, John planned only a small gathering. With close friends.
They went. His mind was somewhere else, immersed in her thoughts. There was laughter, familiar banter. And it was quite.
He excused himself to get some air. It was raining furiously and there she was. In the black dress, barefoot, fresh, crisp and clear as an autumn day, drenched still.
She was running, heels in hand. She came next to him and smiled.
“What a day,” she said.
“Yes. What a day,” he replied. He offered her a drink and they went inside.

One day this conversation might be based on real facts

Jasmine: Tujhe shahrukh ka invite nahin mila…holi ke liye? (Did you get Shah Rukh’s Holi invitation?)
Sona: Mila tha, but itni busy thi…amrita ki aur ayesha ki shaadi ki preprations karni thi naa ( I did get it, but because I was so busy for Amrita and Ayesha’s marriage preprations, I didn’t have time)
Sona: Mere bina kaisey hota (How would anything happen without me)
Jasmine: Haan woh toh hai (Yeah that’s true)
Jasmine: It’s been a busy first week of march
Sona: Yeah that’s true
Jasmine: Too many parties…and god how did they not take any pictures of us
Sona: Photographers don’t like us because remember when we bashed them for invading our privacy
Sona: We’re communication majors we understand their job, but they crossed the limit
Jasmine: Haan woh toh hai…par (Yeah that’s true…but) I miss seeing our pretty clothes, I mean people are missing out on so much!
Sona: Well people can always look at the clothes of some of the celebrities, after all we style them
Sona: Of course not all the time, because of the lack of time, but when they do look good, it’s because we styled them
Jasmine: Mehndi kiti sunder hai (Mehndi looks beautiful)
Sona: I love it, somebody should create a holiday for mehndi, it deserves its own day
Jasmine: haha
Jasmine: We should make one
Sona: Another thing we have to do, nanhi si jaanein kya kya karengi (How much can two lives do (this one is hard to translate…basically that’s what it means)
Jasmine: haha
Sona: Art direction, production design, styling celebrities, writing
Jasmine: Hum kaam ke bhoj se marenge ek din (One day we’ll die of the burden of work)
Sona: But khushi se marenge (But we’ll die happily)
GyanGurus Turned Stalkers

Sometimes even we can’t believe the strange things we do. While coming from school one day we chanced upon a pick-up truck — there was stuff in the back which was tied by a spider-web looking rope. We thought we should take a picture…and guess what? We actually had a camera with us, thanks to Jasmine’s print-workshop class.
Thankfully the man was driving to the bank, so it didn’t look too suspicious that we followed his every turn. We followed the pick-up truck for ten minutes to get the perfect shot…it still didn’t work out (perfectly at least), because we had to keep on driving, somebody in the parking lot was looking at us very strangely. We don’t blame him.
To see the results: Continue reading GyanGurus Turned Stalkers…

Winter Break Starts with a Bang!
Wednesday, December 17, 2008 at 3:16 pm | In Fun | Leave a CommentTags: California, Highway 9, iPhone, Santa Cruz Mountains, Snow, Snowman
Thanks to global warming (which we’d otherwise like to avoid) the weather patterns here in the SF Bay Area have definitely changed. We don’t see snow here in the land of sunshine. But this time we finally did! We were so excited, we can’t even describe the happiness we felt that there was snow about a 30 minute drive away.
We saw the news, the night before, and everyone talked about how there was so much snow on Mt. Hamilton, which is right here in San Jose, so we were ecstatic. We drove all the way up, and what did we find? The roads were closed…they wouldn’t let anyone go further up anymore. We were all so disappointed, it was Jasmine’s mom and this family friend of Jasmine’s (H) with us. While we were coming back, all sad, we had to stop by Costco to pick up some bread.
While Jasmine’s mom went to do that, we sat in the car and looked up more places close-by where we could see snow, thanks to H’s iPhone. Finally we saw a ray of hope in this one article, where many people went to the Santa Cruz Mountains on Highway 9. We didn’t go back home. We picked up some turkey-rolls for lunch and headed towards our destination.
We’ll let you see in the pictures what we saw.
It was Sona and H’s first snow, it was the best first snow experience ever! Nobody wanted to come back…we were so sad. Oh and by the way, the snowman is a snowoman…some kind soul had made it earlier for everyone to enjoy. Plus, we can’t believe we live here! It’s heaven!
