I have refrained from blogging for some god-knows-what reason, but today I just couldn't resist myself. I needed a place to vent and who better than my 'never complaining coz I didn't bother' blog :P

As you transcend through time and gradually get pulled into new dimensions of life, you are supposed to widen your horizon and gain knowledge in the process. Basically, you are trying to become wise devoid of the gray hair. New school, new college, new work place, new room mates, new colleagues, neighbours and what not? So many different people. Vagaries of nature. Although it is quite fascinating, it actually makes me stop and ponder - Damn, I didn't know there were anomalies such as him/her. And it only gets worse. I can literally count the number of sensible, non-cheap, kind and generous people. Those with character, personality, confidence and attitude narrows the list down a little bit, scratch that - it narrows down the list to single digits.

Everyone/everything has boiled down to money, pompousness, materialistic comforts, physical pleasures, promiscuity, arrogance, convenience and last but definitely not the least insanity.

Words like 'love' and 'happiness' remain romantic illusions. These words have been used so often that the very essence of it has been lost in translation. Everyone claims to have it, but secretly yearn for a pinch of the real deal. I don't know when they will realize that you can NEVER find it especially if you're looking in the wrong places.

Its like trying to find ice cream in a parched desert.
a) Water is a luxury, ice cream is distant.
b) If you do find it, its a bloody illusion.

I am not sure why this is bugging me so much off late, particularly when weed like this has been prevalent for quite sometime now. But, these are things I just cannot digest. I think it's the scripted reality shows, jaded teenagers and retarded young adults I see.


Dictionary for the modern age

1. Relationships = Car, good looks, money, pubs
2. Confidence = Abuse, skimpy clothes and disrespect
3. Independent = Detach from parents, NEVER visit them, call them names, party, zero accountability
4. Money = Life
5. Charity = Buying your new friend a drink
   
6. Love = Dejavu
7. Attitude = Confidence+Independence (according to new dictionary)
8. Marriage = An intertwined relationship with love, money and convenience

Oh! and Btw, 'I love you' is the most abused line. EVER

I am 25 years old and I am not a fucking saint. But I am no commercialized human being either. I am in limbo. But, this limbo is not so bad.

Waking up to a bad headache, taking back-to-back printouts and realizing that some are the wrong side up, letting irctc.co.in take extra money from my account though I have only a three digit balance, screwing up a cheque and realizing it right after starts raining, running back in the rain to undo the screwyness, getting drenched and having an upset tummy by the end of the day.. Yep that qualifies as a bad day.

As on Sunday 14th June 2009, I am officially an Aunt :-)

My nephew rocks!

Random Weekend Updates

• My parents were outta town this weekend and I did absolutely nothing. I must be the oldest and most boring 24 year-old in the world. Dont talk to me.. else my boring 'ness' might catch onto u (assuming its contagious)
• My sis-in-law is pregnant. She's a walking timebomb. My nephew/niece might arrive pretty soon :-) . She keeps giving me gory details about her pregnancy. Feels like a trailer to my future. The wonder of life.. yeah whatever.. Its scary.. Mommy! :O
• I got reminded of my weird fantasy while watching the Chennai Super Kings play. I want Matthew Hayden to carry me :-) I am sure he can carry me effortlessly, with one hand and throw me like a frizby. I am not sure about wanting to be thrown like a frizby though.
• My new fetish is baby clothes for the little one. Oh I cant wait for him/her to be born!!!!! woohoo!
• My mom thinks I am 5 years-old. She still doesn't leave me alone at home! (This kind of contradicts my first point)
• I didn't realize salwar shopping is this hard! Either its too simple or too gaudy or not in my color or not in my price range or looks like someone swallowed chumkies and puked all over the fabric.
• Bored of eating food outside
• I have decided to drink atleast 2 litres of water everyday. Even if nature calls atleast every half hour :-(
• My house is an oven

New Addition to Girly Crap

Adding on to my woes is a new allergy. Realized I have eruptions on my face too.. which means more good news to me! I have to wear a stupid jacket to protect my arms.. put stupid sunscreen and top it all wear a stole too to cover my mouth and to avoid the allergy from spreading! I look like a terrorist.. really.. A terrorist with a serious lack of fashion sense and color co-ordination!Plus I carry a backpack.. which looks like an ideal place to hide the bomb.

So.. If I am not blogging for a while.. do understand that I have been arrested and bail me out!

..p..

P.S - I am NOT a terrorist! I am just a poor girl with too many issues :-(

Weddings and Friends!

Weddings are so 'IN' right now! Everyone is getting married.. My neighbour, my friends, my cousins, my young aunts, young uncles, old cousin's young children, acquaintances, dogs, cats, mice,ants, lady bugs.. all of 'em I say! But that's not the point..

Yesterday, me and a bunch of my friends (M,J,D and me) went for S's wedding. All were my buddies from undergraduation. As usual.. we did our foolish things, laughed like pigs, acted stupid and giggled over our goof-ups.

We reached the hall at 9:30 hungry as hell.
Me: I am hungry
M: They must be serving breakfast
Me: I guess they should. Let's find out.
Me (to some arbit juice guy): Sappadu enge serve panraange? (Where are they serving food)
Arbit Juice Guy: mfftuuuppwwsdf
Me: What?
Arbit Juice Guy: mfftuuuppwwsdf
Me: Oh! seri seri (Ok ok)
M: What did he say?
Me: No clue

D arrives.
Me and M: Go ask Arbit juice guy about the food
D: I just came!
Me: You want food or not?
D: Well yeah..
M: Then go ask!
D: Ok Ok.. Arbit Juice guy... When breakfast?
Arbit Juice Guy: No breakfast.
Me,M and D: :(

J arrives.
Me: Ask arbit juice guy when they serve lunch.
S: I just came! Why cant you ask?
Me: Bcoz I already asked him about breakfast and I cant understand what he says.
S: Why cant M ask??
M: ok ok! I will ask!
M to arbit juice guy: When lunch?
Arbit juice guy: *stupid glutton girls* In ten mins
M to us: *jubiliant* In 10 mins lunch will be served
All of us: yay!

The second 10 mins was up, we hurried to the dining hall. We were the first ones there. Felt like total PAKKIS. Hogged till the caterer forced D to wrap up as the next lot was waiting to eat.

We were in quite a hurry to leave because we had nothing to do. As the bride and groom were taking their three sacred rounds around the holy fire, we managed to thrust the gift into the bride's hand as she was yelled at by the priest for stopping during the 'sacred' round.

As we were leaving, a guy walked up to me, shook my hands and said, "Hi.. You remember me?" As usual I am clueless. Finally I came to know that he was my junior during post graduation. After a long talk during which D,J and M were laughing hysterically, I managed to leave and asked those idiots why they were laughing so much.

D: That guy was your junior from college?
Me: Yeah..
D: Well.. he managed to recognize you.. But not J who was also your classmate in P.G
All of us: Hahahhahahaha :D
J: That could be because I was turning the other way, maybe he didnt see my face..
All of us: Hahhahahaha :D You wish...

Attending weddings with my friends is so much more fun. Our incentives are boys and food. All we do is sit and pass comments and make complete fools of our ourselves one way or the other :-)

The weekend and then on

As usual, I will give my random weekend updates. In no particular order whatsoever. So dont try to understand the chronology/priority.

• Friday was a total waste of time. Oh Friday doesnt count as the weekend .. oh well :)
• Managed to sort out issues of weirdness with a colleague. Happiness I say!
• Went for 'body servicing' (read - parlour/waxing et all). The road to beauty and all tht jazz aint so pretty you know. And 'someone' said, "you do this as a routine.. how can it still hurt?" All I wanted to say was "Screw u!!!" X-(
• I realized that I am an incredibly short-tempered person. I keep shutting myself out or walking away from people. Not a good sign. Time to attain nirvana. Where's my halo?? Someone bring me my halo please!
• Started watching Benjamin Button last night. Movie is long and slow, but interesting. Great make-up and acting. Half way through. Review should be up tomorrow.
• I cannot apply nail polish for nuts! It looks like a 3 year old trying to draw the sun. Atleast that looks cute.. My piece of art looks crappy!
• Witnessed a scary accident. Thank god noone was injured!
• Violent guys are a huge turn on for me. Maybe I need therapy? Again this realization dawned upon me this weekend.
• Its getting too HOT HOT HOT! I wish it will snow here someday.

That's all.. you guys can go now! :-) How much happens over a weekend huh?

..p..

P.S - No television wars this weekend. TV conked out :P

The weekend and then on..

Random Updates:

• Another friend of mine saw Delhi-6 and expressed a strong urge to throw shoes at the screen to show her disgust.


• Went to besant nagar beach yday.. not that I dont know that its dirty, but yday was incredibly dirty. It was like they were celebrating dirty sunday. Eew!


• The power was off on saturday at work. So we were declared half day off! :)


• Its getting too bloody hot during the day. I need a sun resistant armor to protect whatever complexion I have. Meager as it already is.


• I am gonna drive the car every night to practise.. so I can take it to work. Enough of the share autos and crowded buses. And yes I am gonna start adding my quota to global warming. Sorry about that.


• Things are getting too complicated at home. Moral of the story - Humans are irritating.


• My tailor slightly screwed up my clothes. I look like Saroja Devi when I wear the kurtas. Maybe I will instigate a new trend in fashion. :-)


• I finally remember how to say sit down (respectfully) in Marwadi. Berawjo sa .. Yay! Awesomeness is came! :P


• Suddenly I am considering buying a car. With 2000 rupees in my bank account. I am an optimist. I know.

Thats all.. You all can go now :-)
