My name is pronounced differently by different people.
Some stress on the "fa" and some on the "ri". (The latter is my official name pronunciation)
Some prefer to call me feri like in "hera-pheri".
There is also an old aunt who calls me"pyari".She is not a hindi connoisseur,its just how she can pronounce it. Though as a child I detested it,as I gained proficiency in hind I didn't mind it ;-)
Now,let me stop digressing from the topic.
I met a cute little girl yesterday.A doll!
I was meeting her for the first time and I had been introduced to her as the ''fari" with the stress on "fa".
She thinks I'm a "fairy"!She did a literal translation and calls me ''pari".
Now ! I have had that nickname long back, but this is different because it comes from a sweet little girl whose world revolves around barbies and cindrellas.
That has left me too happy.That's the best compliment I have got .
I am happy that I am a part of the world she shares with her stories and fairies
Thank you my baboocha!!;-)

The eyes that haunt me!
A tinge of the night sky lurks in her angel eyes
They look at me,sharply in the eye,
Her gaze boring through me
They hold a little mischief , a little darkness!
Her eyes! They haunt me!!!!
BMW 7 series Angel eyes
They look at me,sharply in the eye,
Her gaze boring through me
They hold a little mischief , a little darkness!
Her eyes! They haunt me!!!!

My song
There are lots of one-one mappings in my memory space.
I mean, my memories are mostly linked with something,some song or some word or some colour or something like that.
Here!
Let me do the association between songs and memories for some of them from my memory bank.
These are the first image or visual I get or people I think of on hearing the particular songs ;-))
1)mera juta hai japani ---
This song reminds me of my sister's KG teacher.It has been quite a long time now,the picture is a lil' hazy.But yes, I can see her made up as a clown and dancing to this song. it was some activity day for the kids
2)Subhan allah(Fanaa)---
This one's for you Meera.
Back to my hostel days at thrissur
.We used to rent movies almost every day of the final year study leave and watch them together in Zeba's computer room ;-)
Yes!just the both of us
.It used to be fun.
3)Ye tara wo tara ---
Again for you Meera.
4)Humko humi se churalo--
This is to my school days and particularly to my friend Hiba.
Those days singing used to be a background activity,whether classes were going on or not.
Once, she was singing this song at some free time.Perhaps it disturbed somebody that immediately she got a response"hamke!!!(This is a malabar gaali!!!;-))" just as she finished "humko"
5)dil chahta hai---
again to my school days.
It reminds me of our gang and all are pranks and fun.
6)Kanana chaayayil aadu meekan(malayalam)---
This songs for my grandfather who hums it now and then ;-))
7)nilavinte neela bhasma kuriyaninjavale---
This one is for a friend from college.
I can still see her expressions as she sang this once in our room ;-)
8)Pyar ke pal---
To our happy days at HI, Renu.
Me and Renu(my friend in bosch)wanted to sing this for some team activity while at Germany and we used to meet up at each other's house and practise it on and on.
But,we could never present it,even after returning back. Schade!!
9)Thumbi vaa ---
To you Sheethu(My friend in bosch).
Once we both volunteered for some singing audition at Bosch.As our turns approached nearer both of us panicked and I backed out at the last moment.(when my name was called,I sat there calmly.When they repeated my name,I myself started enquiring amongst the crowd for Fariha ;-).
I winked at the only other guy who recognized me cautioned him not to reveal it.)
Sheethu had sung this song then and it was pretty good.
10)Khalbali --
This reminds me of our final year tour at GEC and paaji(That's the nick name for the guy who sang it ;-))
11)Soni pe nakhde--
Our aerobics classes,vasudha and my attempts to learn the steps..
12)Mein kudi anjaani hu--
I can never forget your dance to this song,Arya(My friend in Bosch)
13)Marannittum enthino--
I used to force Anju(GEC,Thrissur)to sing this song.I loved her singing this.
There are lots and lots more.The list could go on and on but let me stop here,before i become emotional ;-)).

The Plight of a nascent blogger or the Predicament of the unfortunate readers!!!
Before I start the post,let me make my intent about it clear.
To introduce to the blogosphere a budding(perhaps shooting and flowering by now!!)blogger.
Now a little background into my title for the post.
Well, what better phrase for a neonatal specialist!!
If you are wondering what a Doctor is doing here amidst us,then you are in for a surprise.Blogging is just one of the trades of this Jack.No matter how busy he is, I am sure if I ring him up now and tell my post on his blog is ready,he would read it immediately. Such is his dedication to this new passion of his(And when you read this, Uncle bluffmaster,let me remind you !!your readership of my blog has starkly reduced!!!Better include more comments in my posts to avoid stringent actions!!Yes!This is a warning !!).
The latter part of the title would be clear as you go through the blog!!!
Having grown up hearing and believing his stories and bluffs(and believe me we could never make out the trick unless he let it out!I am sure my siblings and cousins,the other tender coconut pond products, would definitely agree with me)it was no surprise to me when he announced his advent to the blog world.And what better title to describe his blog(Bluffmaster from tender coconut pond)!
So, though his blog meant more work for us(Not only had I to create it but also had to customize it and modify the look and feel)I volunteered to do the publicity campaign.(Why should only we suffer!!!;-p)Moreover I owed it to him. He is one of my earliest readers and constant supporter and now my encouragement too.If his blog can survive, why not mine???;-)
Most importantly,it is actually a symbiotic relationship.According to the pact we signed,he is
supposed to give me equal publicity in his blogs and increase my readership as well. At a time when Aamir khan and Amitabh Bachchan use their blogs to christen their cats and dogs, we ,uncle-niece, thought of using ours in better ways.
Only great ideas would come from him,the execution is outsourced.The Doctor's RAM is slow and can't do multi-tasking, so the blog post will depend on his assistant's availability and the doctor's persual ability.The assistant, I am told, is given the stipend for typing each post well in advance. But the blogs are not updated that quick!Network problems,I guess!!!
Even as the assistant plays hide n seek with our bluffmaster(My cousin literally flees as my uncle comes with a new post), he makes sure that you and I get regular blog posts
So if stressed up, need a break and are ready to laugh your hearts out please visit: www.raheem-musings.blogspot.com
"If you have given up on life, have no interest to live, and are thinking of suicide then please read this blog".This is what my aunt had to say!!!E-suicide I guess!!!
You can expect lots of Pjs and Pjs and Pjs(and you were calling me Pj queen!!!Now you know It's in the family).The title of the blog itself is a PJ.If you cannot make it out,I am Happy to Help!
But if somehow you tumble upon some better stuff,have no doubt about it,it would be written by his better half ;-)
Disclaimer: The contents of the Bluffmaster Blog are strictly its author's choice and words.Me and my blog"Reflections"have got nothing to do with it.This author will not entertain any comments or feedbacks about the Doctor's blog.If anyone feels dizzy after reading the blog, please do call me,I can arrange an appointment for you with the doctor.Regular consultation
fees will ofcourse be applicable ;-))

Reality fumes and fire!!-My pick on Reality Shows
These days all I can see on TV are reality shows,in any language,in all variety.Either the programme or its repeat telecast or its ad !!!!!
I keep changing the channels every few minutes,unless the current channel has at least a bit of Shahrukh Khan ;-))
(I don't know why, every few minutes I get this feeling that some other channel would be airing a better programme).
So its obvious how many times I come across them!!
Where once soaps and mega serials reigned, the throne and the crown has now been passed on to reality shows.
A garrulous host or a gorgeous hostess or both holding the center stage, celebrity judges and a whole load of contestants begging(and i mean begging!!!)for votes(like the netas at election times only difference being that here there are specific SMS format!!!!).
The "format" of the show is the same in any channel(for that matter, I have followed only Malayalam and Hindi channels but was also privileged enough to glimpse the same scenario in other channels while ,of course ,busy touring myself through them).
What has me completely bowled over is the variety of the shows.Dance,music(vocal and instruments!!),humor,drama,elocution and sometimes all these in a single one!The genres have me really awestruck.I came across a new variety recently, one on kadhaprasangam in Kairali.
Whether it's kids or grown ups or couples or celebrities, there definitely is a show they can pitch in!.There are some specially for ladies/house wives(why not one for gents I wonder,or is there one which i missed???) and some for celebrity couples!!!
Hey, Don't think I am criticizing these shows too much.
I am not against these talent hunts and promotion of genuine talent.After all apart from bringing into light all the latent talents they also are a come back portal for all the yummy mummies.;-)))(That was the adjective some magazine used for some of the celebrity judges. I somehow liked it!!!).
The participants are all truly gifted and these shows are definitely entertaining too but what bugs me are the publicity stunts. The judges arguing amongst themselves, the emotional athyachaar by the contestants when they have to leave the stage for good, the whole drama of rulayi-dhulayi amongst the participants and the judges!!!!It would of course be disheartening for a participant to leave the competition at some critical juncture,but why the fuss yaar.Why should the judges and the host and all others there too join the tear drain!!!Or rather, even if it is truly genuine emotion, why should the programme air it, or better put,highlight it!!! To capture audience attraction?? -- But, I thought these were reality shows not kyun ki saans bhi kabhi bahu thi... ;-)))
A good thing I like about them apart from of course the anchors ;-) are that sometimes really deserving contestants win .I didn't mean 'deserving' in terms of talent alone.A son/daughter hoping to win the prize apartment for his/her homeless parents,an auto driver who wants to take his mom in an aeroplane with the money he wins,a mason, a bus conductor!!Some of these competitions atleast,provide a platform for these less privileged talents to be recognized(and I hope the doors to these are genuinely fair!!)The idea of audience voting definitely has me skeptical.I happened to see a comedy programme in which the protagonists takes money from the contestants and promises them his "votes".How much transparency is there in such judgements????
Well,These shows have definitely boosted the mobile services and made our janta mobile phone literate!!
Doordarshan too doesn't want to be left behind in this race of reality shows.And DD seems to have bagged the biggest catch. A reality show on rock concerts to be conducted or judged by none other than the big small man,AR Rahman, himself. Don't know how far the rumour is true and when the show would begin,but the rumour atleats sounds good and I join the league of Rahman fans eagerly waiting....
I am not an addict to any of them yet, but I enjoy these
1)star Singer(Asianet)--
All the participants are exceptionally talented,Ranjini hosts it unimitably and none of the judges fall in the yummy-mummy category.After all Chithra hasn't gone anywhere to have a come back!!
Buy ya, i was a little upset by Didi(Usha Uthup) crying (and sometimes Ranjini too) whenenevr some fav contestant left in the last season!!!!
2)Dance India Dance -- Each and every episode has me wonderstruck.What performances!!
If you liked my post or if you didn't please vote for me.It is only through your support that I can do well again.To vote for me please type

A stupid post!!!!
My system has not yet adjusted to the changes.
I am not talking here about any time changes.
No!!!
There are no jetlags and time differences.
Its just the routine changes!!!
No more Office and early morning(at 8am!!!!) trysts to get up from the bed, no more hurrying for the breakfast at canteen and no more e-newspapers.
Now, I wake up aaraam se at 10-10.30,get myself a cup of steaming tea and delicious breakfast(thanks to mom and others at home!!!) and start devouring the news paper.
I am no longer glued to the comp monitor, instead to the TV screens. ;-)))
well, Guys,
this is all just an observation of life through that rosy glasses everyone advices.
Honestly,I am bored and will continue to be so until I decide what next to do.
Well, that's the problem!!!
I still don't know what I should be doing or where I should be going.
Let's see... ;-))

Adieu!!!
30th April 09
9:00 am
I reached the back gate of Bosch as usual.
The security lady checked my bag as she always did.
Why did everything seem different to me today?
I smiled at her and walked forward.
I swiped in at"0" and took the lift to canteen as usual.
5 min to 9 is a very crucial time for must of us.
Everyone would be busy. There would be a frenzy of activity.
Some would be hurrying to office, some scurrying with breakfast and some on phone.
Our table is always crowded.Sometimes we sit upto 10 people at the table meant for 4
"Ghoshetta we have just left PG, could you please take breakfast for us"
"2 idlis, 3 vadas and 2 slices of bread"
"da, if possible take my 2 cups of tea"
Who ever can be there at the canteen in time would take the orders for the others and then we would all have it together.
But, today was different. I wouldn't be having breakfast.I had just come up to the see everyone.
PC(aka Pradeep),BKB and ghoshettan were there near the Lift.They saw me, smiled and we left together in the lift.
"3" "1" "0"
These are our usual stops.
Me and PC would get down at 3.PC would swipe in and go through the right door and I would go through left.
As usual , I entered my department, my department for the last 3 years.I looked around for familiar faces.A few smiles shot back at me.
I walked to my cubicle and reached my seat.My target (The H/W) greeted me Good morning as usual and my name plate smiled back at me.I switched on my PC(This is my comp i referring to ;-)). As it woke up from its slumber I got myself a cup of coffee.
As usual, I opened my inbox and started going through the mails.
10:30 am
"T/Coffee/Bournvita"
The mail would begin.
"meet u near the stairs"
And then we would all flock at the right wing stairs and start the chatter.
"Haaiiii"
"New pinch!!!"
"Hey achi dikh rahi ho!!"
"Hey renu madame kaha gayi" "As usual busy hogi"
And the chit-chat would go on and on until someone remembers an elapsed meeting or a long forgotten prio1+ ticket.
Today, only I and Shinida took the break.Others were busy.
12.30 pm
"Lunch bitte????" or "Lunch???" "I'm hungry"
"Ja bitte"
"Sssssssssss"
"yes/No sno!!!"(Very innovative!!!!)
"carry on. I will join in 5 min"
These are the usual mails and responses at the lunch.
And finally
"Let's start???"This is an intimation to actually start to the canteen ;-)
"Ready steady go!!"
"Meet you near stairs"
Today as Usual, me and chechi started for the stairs. Had to pick up shinida on the way.Renu was on leave today.
Vasudha, rashmi and others would join.
We had our lunch and then went for our post-mitagessen stroll in the basement.Another session of gossip,jokes,pulling legs etc etc..
Had Renu been there we would have played the Go-Game too..(Its a patented game only for me, Vasudha and Renu)
By 1:30 pm we were all back at our own seats.
3:30 pm
"A2B???"
Time for another break!!
Me and Vasudha would(and whenever sheethu is there, she would also)go to A2B and have tea.
We had decided to go today also,but somehow couldnt make it.
Guys, Breaks are not the only thing We have at Bosch. I am just highlighting how we enjoy the time together inspite of the busy schedules(atleast sometimes!!;-)) and the critical issues and bugs.
7:00 pm
As usual I left 3rd floor and went out through the back gate.
But today was different.
I went out the gate not to return on Monday.
Today was my last day at office.
I looked back at my Office for the last 3 years for one more last time. I hadn't swiped out today for my badge had been taken back.
As I crossed the Sai-Baba temple,I ran my hands through my bag's empty front pocket where my ID card usually lay.
Epilogue
I met Ghoshettan, Abhi,PC,and BKB at A2B, bid them farewell and came down to my PG.I went to my aerobics centre and said goodBye to Pappu.
I came back to the PG. Today would be my last day here. Jiya and Renu had left for home. They had met me earlier at office and said goodbye.
Me and Arya cooked dinner, for the one last time together.
Author's note
Thanks a lot to all of you who wished me good luck and bid me farewell. I would miss all of you in our own special ways.
Thanks a lot to all my managers and team mates for all the wishes you gave me.
Thanks a lot to that Gentleman I met in the lift and who wished me good luck(Sorry I dont know your name)
Hey!Arya Thanks a lot for that payasam.
Reshma and Dhanya,those mails touched me very much.
Again, thanks again to all of you who mailed, spoke with me and met me.
Renu,Vasudha,chechi,Shinida,Sheethu,Anu,Renu,Jiya,Arya,Rashmi,Jyoti: I don't know what more to tell u guys.
Guys,
I know tomorrow you will miss me at the breakfast table.
I know You will miss me for lunch and tea.
I know you will miss my Pjs and nonsense.
I know you will miss me at aerobics,vasudha
I know you will miss me at PG,guys
I know you will miss when you go for movies at PVR or for treats outside,
I know you will all miss me in some way or the other.
And I will Miss You all greatly too.
