Sipping Juices.. and more juices.. welcoming Nimbooz.. my favorite drink

Addicted to comics : Justice League and Amar Chitra Katha.. Reliving old times.. when I used to hide comics inside text books.. .

Bewildered at crashing my E 71 just while I was doing my config update. I was glad to go without phone.. for 10 days..  till hubby forced me to have a standby.. sigh.. well .. what would have happened in the good old days when there were no phones.. we all survived.. actually I like my phoneless status.. maybe its time I give up my mobile..  technology sucks sometimes..

Satisfied at decluttering old books which I have not touched. Went and sold them at Blossoms.

Overjoyed at finding a secret parking space if I want to browse in MG Road..

Terrified of the heat that burns me  if I have to walk in the afternoons.. and its only the beginning of summer.

Encouraging all to go register yourself in www.jaagore.com

Planning a volunteering activity to teach at schools and or donating textbooks, storybooks, reference books to institutions that need it. Email me if you can help.

Enjoyed watching Sex and the City movie alone at home on a lazy evening… liked it.. I love Mr Big..  and I love the idea of the women friends.. they never go passe.. Made me long for the days in college when me and my women friends used to hang out together.. its difficult to find that as you grow older.. on this line of thought I was really impressed to see a friend’s photo page in facebook where she put up photos of friends ( then and now) she grew up together and are still together. Now thats what I would call friendship.. everlasting.. very rare to be in and around the same area as one moves on in life.. … well thats why we have Sex and the City.. hahaha!!

Craving for Ice golas.. lemony ones coz thats my fav flavor.. I think I shall make do with kulfi but its not the same thing.

Finally getting into working on THE house.. keeping in mind the recession and the unpredictable salary flow..  I think am going to move in with the basics and will do the rest in phases.. sigh..

Tempted to go get some spaghetti strapped dresses.. recession in mind… need to do this the old way.. go into the stores which I used to raid … long back… hope they are still there.. hahaha !!

Looking for a change.. in everything.. the creation is in process.. Maybe I will go bald..

Pissed off with my hair dresser who cut my hair without the style in place. And she has been cutting my hair for the last 10 years… the same bloody style and she forgets something important.. and really puts me off.. all the more when she says … that she has done what she usually does.. GAHHHH… Time for a new hair dresser and some blue highlights.. buhahahah

Embarrassed at forgetting my car number. Yours truly blithely tells her old car number when her car was blocking someone else and the poor security fella runs all around asking all and sundry whose car is the one with the new number ( mine). Suffice it to say that I was thoroughly red in the face after finishing my tasks and come to see a group waiting in front of my car and the security fella looking at me as if he was about to burst a blood vessel.  And well moral of the story is that you will never see me there.. *million blushes wishing there was a hole that sucked me in *

Over my hat at some @&^@!$%#@%@# thats going on now..  ok its just me.. no one else..

Peaceful with the way yoga is going.. made me go off drinks.. well good for me.. I shudder to think I will go off non veg.. the urge you see.. well its all in the mind and all about choice.. and I know what my choice will be… buhahaha yoga or no yoga.. moi the mountain lady give up non veg.. well thats thought for food..

Thinking of starting a new business.. but zilch monies for that.. so keep thinking..

In the name of recession, seeing many things that really does not have anything related to recession.. LOL.. so what if this is just another scapegoat reason to get away with all the uncomfortable decisions which would be usually not be taken… tough times but heck.. dont have to rub it in …. its scary enough to think of the consequences.. if it does strike one..

Aghast at the crime aspects that have gone up.  People in Bangalore.. please

• Central Lock your car when you are driving around the city. There are miscreants who plan and target cars and bang the windows and scare the driver and maybe car jack it in broad daylight. This happened many a times in front of the Oasis Mall during busy hours. No use going to the police.. they ask some questions like why didnt you take photographs, etc ( well if you are scared, do you really think you will take photos). This happened to a colleague of mine and another witnessed a similar action..  and though they say that they have nabbed the dudes.
• If you are driving back home late at night, central lock your car and DO NOT stop if any biker asks you to. Thats another means of car jacking or robbing you. Just drive by .. no matter what..
• Moral of the story : DO NOT STOP for anyone.. when driving..

Interested ??? in this.. check it out.. ( i have never been to one )
