The New Look

My new 'job', if that's how you would like to call it, involves sitting in my dad's office for the next ten days till all the people who are on leave come back. There's very little to do and there's way too much time. Internet is my only source of entertainment. Since, Facebook is source of depression if you waste too much time on it, I have decided to dedicate the next few days religiously blogging about everything and nothing :)

I have also given my blog a bit of a makeover by adding all these boxes(what do you actually call them?) on the side. I'm not really a 'quote' person but that's all I could find. Frankly, Quote for the day and Love Quotes sound extremely lame, but I added them anyway. Then I came across quotes on Hinduism. Since I know so little about my own religion I decided I should add it. After that I thought of a few self-righteous friends I have on facebook, who add applications related to their faith inspite of already being a part of a hundred communities that talk about the same damn thing! And since I didn't want to sound like them, I added Bible and Quran quotes as well. Truth of the matter is that I do respect all religions, so why not learn a little about all?

After that I came across God Knows how many quotes and I guess I got a little carried away. Now I'm starting to think it looks like a terrible mess! So I'm going to let it be for a while until I decide the ones that get to stay and the ones that will have to go. Until then, there's one box that's not going anywhere.And that's One Tree Hill, baby! =D

Summer'08 (Confessions of a Shopaholic)

Right after I got back form my awesome trip to Chennai, I left for Malaysia. My uncle's a lawyer and practically every year he takes his entire staff for trip. I remember the time my neighbour told me he got a job in Bangalore where his awesome office supplied him with Snickers, Toblerone and the likes everyday. I couldn't help but feel terribly envious. However, when I heard about my Uncles idea of keeping his staff happy, the snickers seemed like a bit of a let down =P .

Since, he was taking his family as well, he asked my brother and I to come along. Give me one good reason why we should have refused?

The best part was that my parents were not coming along. And that meant a summer trip without unnecessary drama and lectures on responsiblity. Also loads of cash and shopping without watching my mum wrinkling her nose and every secong item of clothing I picked up.

Inspite of being with over 25 people, it was almost like travelling alone. On one hand was the entire staff. All of them were too involved in each other anyway. On the other, was the little family. Again involved in each other. And then there was me, my book, my music and my coffee. The road trip was awesome. The weather was terrific. Frankly speaking I don't remember much of the sightseeing we did, but I can tell you this, I fell in love with the shopping!

It sounds a little insane, but every time I look back at that trip I think of those unbelievably big malls. I think about how there was so much to cover and so little time and how I ran like a maniac from one shop to another, just so I could cover everything in that time limit. I remember how everytime I saw the magic word(sale), my eyes would light up and my feet would automatically take me in that direction. The smell of designer perfumes lingering in the air, the designer gown clad manequins, the soft feel of the fabrics, the array of gorgeous colours, the display of outfits that seemed to have walked right out of my dream. I miss every bit of it.
And once again I can do anything to have it back! *sigh*

Summer'08 and why it was awesome

Summer'08 was the best summer of my life.
Boards were finally over. Freedom was in the air. I adored the feeling of having nothing to do. And the best part was that two trips were right around the corner.
First trip was Chennai. Hardly a city to be excited about. But if you were going there to meet your bestest friend after a year and a half, you'd know the feeling.
So me and my half-cracked friend P sat in an airplane and took off to city of idlis and Kanjivaram sarees to spend 15 days of bliss in S's hot duplex house.
We laughed until we cried, ate until our tummies burst, shopped until we dropped, talked endlessly about the year gone by, danced till we embarrased our selves, got drunk and puked all over the bathroom, watched ridiculous movies, played childish games, made up silly stories to entertain each other and took a hell lot of crazy pictures. We did nothing and still had the best bloody two weeks of our lives.
The prospect of living through another great Summer helped me make it through this year. I knew that once I'd get to see S, and make up for all the lost time, life would make perfect sense. But, I'm starting to think it might not work out this Summer =( .
All I want right now is to have my Summer Sisters back....

Blonde Moments

I was talking to a friend on the phone. She was sounding pretty low, so as a good friend it was my responsibility to cheer her up. Cracking jokes at her expense, at a time like this? Bad idea! So i thought of making myself the butt of the joke. You guys can go ahead and half a laugh at my expense as well.

Me: I'm going to Bangkok
Swat: Awesome! So where else are you going to in Thailand?
Me: Swat, I'm not going to Thailand, I am going to Bangkok!

The next one is a conversation between me and this Jai Hind hottie, Farhan who I was trying to make small talk with during Blitzkrieg, right after his 'Mock band' performance. In a Mock band performance, the group members just have to pretend to play the instruments and sing. But the bets part was that, they were so damn convincing that I thought they were actually singing.

Me: Dude you sang really well.
Farhan: really when?
me: On stage.
Farhan: California dreams?
Me: ya
Farhan: Oh thanks! But you do know that it was a mock band performance.
Me: (trying to look the other way and start a conversation with someone else because I'm too embarrased to even look at him)

The third one's not really a blonde moment. It involves saying the wrong things at the wrong times.
Happened yesterday when Maithili, I and Sid were walking down Marine Drive.

Sid: Man i find it so cheesy when these couples sit here and start getting cozy.
Me: I swear man! It's worse when Uncles and Aunties do that. I bet they're having an extra-marital affair.
Maith: Why does it have to be extra-marital? They could be a married couple right.
Me:(Very Loudly) Ya but if they were married they wouldn't come here to do stuff! They would do it at home.
(Then 3 aunties walking ahead of us turn and one particularly rude one gives me the dirtiest possible look you can imagine. Seeing this Sid and Maith are taken over by an irresistible urge to laugh and pull me behind the tree where they can laugh without me being scrutinised by that aunty.)
Maith: Why do you have to talk such rubbish so loudly. People get offended.
Me: (even Louder) Oh ya! may be that woman was pissed because what i recited was her life story!
