*The uncontrollable flip floppiness*

All thanks to this.

The man is hot, his voice makes me wanna drown and never rise again.. and he gives me the warm fuzzies! Period.

They come from the same factory with defects and they buy their sense of humour from the same place. The brains come from a seconds outlet.

There are days when I feel extra kicked about being born a girl.

To all the lovely ladies, I'm not going through anything. Just posting some truth. Muah! :)

Of Conversations!

It took place on my way back home from the bus stop. My mother was very happy to see me after my holiday. We dumped the luggage in the backseat and she was driving.

Ma: So how was it? Tell me all about Goa.

Me: Oh it was fun! Ate, drank, sang.. the beach.. you know we wanted to try hash brownies but it didn't happen. Chha

Ma: Really? I don't know what's so great about them!

Me (completely zapped): Eh!! How do you know? What have you been upto?

Ma: Yeah, I thought it was rather blah.

After checking at least 8 times if I was in the car with my convent educated mother who crinkles her nose at words like sex, booze, crap, f***, ass****, I mustered the courage.

Me (still zapped): Ma, you've tried? When?

Ma: In the US. Had quite a bit there. I don't get the hype. It's potato after all!

Me: &#$^&*!@$#$^&*^%$#@@!!

After some clarification in my head

Me: Ma!!!!! you're talking about hash browns. I'm talking about hashish in brownies!

Ma: Oh I thought you were talking about hash browns.

After a moment's silence it came:

Ma: You wanted to try drugs? Are you daft? What is wrong with you? I think you've really lost your mind!!!

Me: :D :D :D

Please Note:

How, how, how?? Just how does it happen every time? A quiet, peaceful night turned into a bright chirpy day. I put on my most loved songs, sang along, strummed the guitar for a bit, caught up with my favourite people and all was hunky dory till this piece of human beingness came along... *aaargh* so anyway.. after discussing the idea with a close friend, I have decided to blog about it.

* Girls don't like men turning possessive about them unless they're in a relationship and if someone's hitting on her blatantly. Go ahead and take responsibility. Make it known that she's your girl. It'll earn you brownie points. On any other occasion, she'll think you're some psycho running loose on the streets. If you're just friends with her, she'll never talk to you again.

* If you don't want to keep in touch with her, say it loud and clear. Don't get in touch with her and then pretend like she's the one who's after you. If you don't have anything to talk about, save us the trouble.

* If there's a friendship that is bordering on a romantic relationship, DO NOT ask her if she thinks so and so is pretty or tell her about how you and Ms. I'm so dumb in the brains share a lot in common. For all you know, you secretly wish to be with your best friend or at least someone like her. If it's just a plain, platonic friendship, don't ever make the mistake of fooling around.

* If you have meant something to us in the past, chances are that we will still care about you till you prove to be a bigger B****** than we've assumed you to be. We seldom like bitterness.

* It annoys us when you act indifferent. Don't ask us why but it does.

* Most girls want to hold onto the "honeymoon" period of their relationships. Don't f***** deny them that joy.

* All reasons for a break up that say "I fell out love" are processed in one way: you didn't want to make the effort, you lazy ass!

* Girls can fake orgasms. And we don't have pillow fights. And that is the truth!

* Contrary to what you believe, we think men and women can be friends. Just friends. If I'm being nice to you, it does not mean I want to date/flirt/sleep with you. I'm just sweet in general.

* It doesn't take too much to make or keep us happy. If only you would open your eyes and be more observant.

* The ultimate test: If we ask you: Why are you with me? Why do you like me? and you don't have an answer at the tip of your tongue, we know exactly where this relationship is heading...

* "Women will do anything for love, even sex. Men will do anything for sex, even love." A guy told me this.

* Conversation and communication are labeled "high priority"!

* We can't live with you, we can't live without you. There. It's out in the open!

Will keep updating the list as and when required.

As of now I'm addicted to this

The song makes me happy; like every wrong will turn into a right; where it becomes easier for me to keep the memory without any bitterness; where it gives me the courage to dream big, where hope still exists and smiles truly make it a wonderful world!

Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

If any of you read this, do me a favour. Go out and make at least one person smile today. Once you've spread the cheer, post a little something as a comment. It'll be appreciated. Thanks! :)

Dedication Time

Ooh you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all I see
Ooo you make me live now honey
Ooo you make me live

Ooh you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh you're my best friend

Ooo you make me live

Ooh I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me,
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend

Ooo you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooo you make me live now honey
Ooo you make me live

You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
You're my best friend

Ooo you make me live

I'm happy at home
You're my best friend
Oh ya
Oh you're my best friend
Ooo you make me live
You you're my best friend.

Saying It Right Out Loud

I like that I can laugh about all sorts of things: Funny expressions on people's faces, mommy's sardonic sense of humour, P G Wodehouse, random jokes, my theories, movies, myself :P I'm not fussy about food as long as it doesn't wriggle on my plate. Fussy about the place I eat in/at? Another story :) I have an ear for music. I don't have a problem picking up a tune almost immediately after I hear it; At most times, I maintain my sense of peace but when I need to, I'm not afraid to hit; I love to explore. I would thoroughly enjoy myself while figuring out how to get from one place to the next. Contrary to sexist beliefs, here's a girl who can read a map and has a good sense of direction; I cut myself away from reality very often. I zone in and then space out completely. I don't know too many people who can do it; My independence means the world to me. Tuts once called me a gypsy and said I should turn to Tarot Card Reading if ever want a second career option. He said it's just this aura that I have. Thanks, Tuts but no matter what, I will never be as free as the sky or the sea... and secretly that's what I wish for... and I know if it comes true, I won't know what to do because I'll be worried about the huge responsibility that tags along; Socks, Pencils, stationery in general, clean combs and nails, my hands, getting the lyrics of songs right, strawberries - I like what I'm obsessed with; I appreciate the small things people do for me in a big way. The handmade gifts don't come with a "give me something in return" policy. It's just my way of saying "You mean something to me." People are important to me but I think it's okay to be selfish at times. Somebody told me that I have an insane capacity to love people and I don't think any compliment can surpass this one. For once, I accepted graciously :)Siblings are amazing people. It's actually easy to be nice to them and respect them for who they are. Mine thinks I'm a rowdy:) Bryan Adams still has the raspiest voice... and I never wanna see the sun go down. I love the fact that I have a term for everything that I feel, that I'm not lost for words; I feel restless if I don't drink enough water during the day; I hold my dreams close to my heart. If I have ever asked you what your biggest dream is, I will remember the answer you gave me. That applies to your birthday too; I fool around a lot, can hardly ever get too serious about things yet I know exactly where I'm headed. I appear to be flippant but I know my mind really well; The only time I will throw someone out of my life is when he/she betrays my trust or is involved in physically/mentally abusing the people I love (including me); It takes very little to make me smile. Very very very little. I'm a happy person. I believe that some things in this world happen for a reason. We just ignore the signs; My parents are the coolest people I know and I love spending time with them; I love it silky smooth and natural; I know how and I think I know how amazing but till the time is right I will not bend my principles :P I amuse myself all the time - whether it's drawing parallels from fictitious characters, talking to myself, enacting scenes, quite oblivious to the people around, singing out loud, buzzing around... I've been told that I'd make an awesome mom and I quite like the thought of it; I want my copy of Tuesdays with Morrie; I wish upon the first star that blinks every night. And I know someday, I'll be up there with some fabulous people, looking out for the ones who are yet to join the celebration...

So till then, I shall continue to believe that I am normal. It's the rest of the world that is weird.

U2?

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, shes got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you
With or without you

New Year's when it shifted. One precarious situation after another. A close fight and finally now to be able to get lost in Bono's voice!

Please to be noting.. THE blog entry has been emailed to self. It does not change how I feel about the issue. But all that for later. Right now I feel HHHHHAAAAPPPPYYYY!!! Miscalculation in dates is the best thing that's happened to me this month. Ha! Losers... Wasn't talking about my cycle.. Just some assignment submissions.. Wo Baby!!! :)

Happy Earth Day!

Let's see... cycling to school with a poster on my basket that said - I'm eco friendly. I cycle. Carrying my own shopping bag... a cloth one... and avoiding plastic carry bags as much as I can. Using public transport for a long time till I switched to my electric bike. Making compost at home. Not littering. Bathing with lesser water (ok, I'm kidding but at least I turn the shower off) and making complete use of the solar panels installed on the terrace. Walking short distances (except the MG road-Commercial Street stretch. I can't do it unless Leo's with me!). Switching off lights when they aren't in use...

A long way to go but I'm glad I'm doing my bit for the environment. There's just this planet that I call home. Might as well keep it clean :)

Can't get over the silky smoothness, the golden brown, baked shade and the fresh, laid back, floating, sensuous feeling.... ahhhhhh....

I know I'll never outgrow this. Gladdens the heart! :)

I want You and You out of my life!! Take what belongs to you.. and you... and scram. I'm FKing tired of playing games. You and You aren't worth it!

Feel better already....

It's an unusual name. Never heard it before. One of a kind - Person and name.

Rewind. Back to school. Back to 9th std.

What does DBS stand for?

Ha ha, Isn't it better than 3D? We (Onjus, Mickey Mouse, First Crush and a few extras I think) came up with the killer name. Don't think it's just a short form or anything. It stands for *Drumroll* DHEEBSHIBA BRISTOL SUBBALAKSHMI!!!

While she chased the rest of them around the classroom, we girls just rolled on the floor laughing.

All these years I believed the name meant "Queen of Lights". Discovered today that it is Rubella Peter in English :P (or Peter Rubella)

or is that just your alter ego?

If Chimney's theory is right, you can be Peter Peter too. Just pray Chims brings Sensi and her sexy nose to the wedding :P

I feel the need to be completely honest right now. It's a feeling. It'll pass.... Muhahaha!!!

So... Where was I? Oh yes, my fun filled weekend! Chubby and I were out shopping on Saturday evening and oh boy, it was awesome!!! She calls me her lucky charm and I trust her opinion when I pick things up. The pink shorts were h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s!! I mean who did they keep in mind while designing those silly things... Barbie? I would never want to be a size zero. If I were a guy, I would want my woman with some meat on her. Only flab is a no-no...ok, change topic... so we sipped Iced tea, laughed at the pseudo fight that was on and finally found a pair that fit just right... a little too right for me! Pbbbt! Whatever. I need my holiday!! :)

Then came Sunday. Crab. Prawns. DBBBBBB!!! Pitsssssssss!! Chimssssss! Girl bonding! After a yummy meal, we took a walk to the Road. Will post the funnies in a bit. Entered Le Rock(?) Beer. S** on the beach. Unknown thing that Chims ordered and Ladies and Gentlemen... Hold your breath... She actually liked it! Or maybe it was just us not ordering things she liked. Ha! Giggles. Music. TV. Secrets. One phone call. Buzzzzz. Met Rith. Got back to DB's. Met Dhols... Next topic change... Got home. Chilled out dinner with my folks. I just hope I've inherited my mother's culinary skills. Or like she says - Haath ka kamal.

The week has been lovely. Dinners with friends, long chats with people who can be friends. New clothes. Inch loss. No confusion. *Sigh* would like more of these.
