The Biggest Question (?)

The Biggest Question (?)Today, my friend and colleague, Rochelle helped me realize the beauty of comics; how it can be used by us as a good time-pass medium and bring in some laughter in the same old mundane office environment.
Using our creativity for some office cheer was a welcome change!
So with the help of Bitstrips, we were able to create an office scenario with one of our sweetest colleague as our subject, picking on her one personality trait that stands out the most.We picked her as a target, 'coz she's some one, we could make a good laugh off yet love us for making her smile.

EXHIBIT A/ Target 01 : Tanya; she's a real sport and a doll for taking this joke so light-heartedly. Much love to her <3

Cheers Tanya aka Toniaaa :P


P.S: Tanya if you ever read this blog...Thankyou!!! Love you :)

The Girl Unknown ... ?!?!

There she stood at the edge of the cliff; the wind blowing through her long, black wavy hair, poised and still you could see the sadness emanate through her deep brown eyes, a tear almost dry on her plum cheek. Her beauty was plain, yet the grace she had even when she seemed like she was in misery, was alluring; a true form of youth. You could feel the 'goosebumps' on your skin just watching her stand at the edge staring into the horizon. This girl is unknown, no one knows where she lives,who she is or where she belongs; you want to find out more though...

"Why is she standing at the edge?" you ask yourself. "What is the reason behind her sadness?!?" or "Does she plan on ending her life at such a young age?" and "why waste such youth?!?!"... The thoughts that cross your mind are plenty,  and at that very moment all you can think about is stopping her and talking some sense into that silly young head but you're hesitant.

Debating your thoughts, back and forth, all around; finally your anxiety gets the best of you. You calm yourself with a deep breathe, straighten yourself up and head straight for the cliff on which she stands. The closer you get to her, the more the distractions fill in until finally you tap her on the shoulder and question her; and all she has to say with a sad expression is, "My favorite bow clip fell off this cliff and now I can't get it back". :)

Happiiee B'daii Fernando Torres :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FERNANDO TORRES !!!

 He's 28 now and he still gets my heart beating fast and slow, all at the same time :)
He's the 'El Nino' of Spain and quite obviously of the world itself and especially of my heart. Wishing Nando the best in life both personal and professional.

The first time I laid my eyes on him in 2006; it was love at first sight, he ran like a stallion and looked angelic with his long blonde hair pulled back by a black string band.
Agility, technique and grace with the charm; he has it all! He pulled off that red jersey like it was made for him, The nation is proud of him and so am I!
Every team he ever played for became my favorite. 

Now with Chelsea he may have had several hurdles, but he's proven himself yet again against Leicester; a gift to himself he scored two goals to seal the deal and push Chelsea into the semis of the F.A Cup.


You will always be my favorite ....forever and for always No. 09....I Feliz Compleanos :)

Chasing Saheel...

"Get moving...get ready it's 6:15pm, the bus leaves at 7:15pm" he says, yet Mum and I blatantly ignore him.
Dad's always had the tendency to over react in these kinda situations, while mum and I highly disregard the value of Punctuality( something we're not really proud of).
And so our plan to meet Saheel at the Kadamba bus station to drop off a couple of parcels for my sister in Pune, was obviously severely DELAYED!

He grew angrier and angrier by the minute(which felt like seconds!). We had the fear he'd drop us midway and leave us there for our contempt. The tantrums continued till we reached the bus station, only to find Saheel had already just left. "run run run run run run...." those thoughts kept running through my mind, "you must find Saheel and give him the parcels before dad gets a smack at you".
 We sucked up to his nasty comments and insults, we made haste for the next bus stop in hopes to find Saheel: the man who would save mum and me from getting our asses kicked tonight.
The calls kept pouring in, I just had to be calm and cool in this situation, mum and me decide to maintain dead silence till we got to the bus stand, but I have super stressed and anxious. I was holding my breathe(also almost peeing my shorts), finger crossed: I'd find the guy.

Alas! the torture ended, we found the Pune bound bus and man we needed, he seemed anxious and nervous and also confused for a moment( coz my mentioned sister is my twin). Nevertheless I couldn't be any happier to see him.I was done with the stress and the annoyance, I'd fulfilled my task, I could lay back in the car and rest without being yelled at on our way home.

After long hour of Chasing Saheel .... we finally managed to catch him :)

My First Blog...Name!

Okay, so this is my first EVER blog... I don't read blogs nor do I know exactly how it functions.
My purpose of starting this blog is simple: JUST WRITE!

Now fearing public opinion/ comments I would like to make sure that people know a little about me before jumping onto conclusions.
So, the first thing i'd like to talk about,would be my name!|
You gotta admit, Maienelle Azucena D'souza is a pretty sweet name...except it abbreviates as 'MAD',
which really isn't much if an issue here coz it actually kinda matches my personality. Now my not talking 'mental institution mad', mine being more like fun loving, weirdo, random, 'occasional blondness' mad.

Now I find that there are several people pronounce my name as  funny ( like Mirinil or Marynel) arrgghh!!!
and some fail to understand what it really stands for; which frankly i'm not sure about either, but yeah, I guess I've just adopted to it.
Yeah, I  also thought I was the only Marienelle in the world, until I saw a Facebook search full of people sharing the same name as me.... so much for uniqueness(!)

Enough about the first name; talking about the second and the third name I have, well that's just me using my mum's maiden surname and ofcourse my dad's name..HAH! so no surprises there!   

Aha! so there you have it, My FIRST blog.


Note to self: this blog is going to be maintained with utmost Honesty.
