Resolutions...

Another 24 hours and it will be new year..
To welcome 2006, i've given my blog a brand new look ! (This includes snaps being uploaded..)
Apart from that i m thinking.. should i make the usual resolutions ??
Thou shall jog everyday.. Thou shall eat healthy.. Thou shall not fight with my younger brother.. :) (the 'Thou shall' here is intentional ;))
Nice to read, easy to decide and damn hard to follow.. (Simply put, these resolutions are made to be broken :))
So i thought this year i should come up with just 3 to-b-made-success-resolutions..
Here they r -
Eat food that makes u feel good (dont worry dad, i wont hog !)
Buy clothes that make you look slimmer.. :)
Read atleast one good book a month....
Now, I plan to make these resolutions work.. a real uphill task.. ;) What say??!!

Emotional Roller-Coaster...

A bit different episode in my life..

24 Dec 05 - I talked to my friend..for the first time in my life I didnt know what to talk with her..Life seems so unfair sometimes..

What a week... I soar up n then come down again...Trying to settle down, but doesnt work..Oh God.. help !!!!!

Thats MCG !!

I was a big cricket fan till a year ago....
Bunk classes, postpone outings, I did everything a cricket buff did..
Now m in a state where match is no big deal... Its just aanother match after all !!
(The real reason being I dont have a TV)..
But then touring MCG ( Melbourne Cricket Ground ) was still a dream come true for me....Here's a snap of the same...
I was there in May..
It was 'Aussie Footy' (Australian version of football.. Basically a mix of soccer n football..)
season..
So I did not get to see a match on MCG..
But being there in itself was a high point....
so no regrets... :)

My Favourite Things....

My visit to the mall also set me thinking once again...
I m fond of soft toys... I enjoy clothes (from jeans to chudidars, n skirts to sarees, Of course stoles are a must nowadays)...
I like bags/handbags/sacks... I enjoy belts/shades... I like watches... I like shoes...I love jewellery(from simple studs to chunky danglers)...
I use cosmetics nowadays, so I like perfumes/powders/cremes/gels...
I m also catching up with electronic stuff like Ipods/mobiles/music systems and the works...
I like pens/pencils/paintboxes (!!!) ...
And of course I m insanely crazy about books...
:)
I wonder M I NORMAL ???? Or JUST PLAIN CRAZY ???

Saturday 1 in Bangalore.....

India's Silicon Valley... Bangalore...
My first saturday here.. The traffic, the no-comment-roads, the rainy weather did nothing to liven up my spirits..
Then I went to a mall called Forum , with 3 other friends...
Lo and Behold.. !!! it did wonders to my mood...
The mall exceeded my expectations many fold...
There were shops with branded stuff and there were shops with non-branded stuff..
There was also this food court, which catered to different tastes.. No wonder it was overflowing.. There were movie halls... We had tickets for row 2 , n my neck isn't hurting today..
Guess that says it all..
I was actually reminded of the ICICI bank ad 'Fast Forward India'....
Way to go India.....

Snippet from Yesterday's dinner talk....

A bit of background first...
For a loong time now, we have been eating out almost every night..
Mr.Hero gave the reason as - mess food after a short time (10 days may be) gets 'monotonous'...
Hmmm...
Mr.Dude pointed out - Monotonous happens to be related to sound.. same sound..
Miss. X said its a general adjective.. Life can get monotonous.... College can get monotonous n so on..
By then we had finished our dinner n brainstorming session !!!!
We asked the waiter to get us the bill..
At this stage the conversation took an interesting turn.....
Mr.Dude - Do u guys know the any other word for bill ??
Mr.Hero immediately said cheque...
Mr.Dude - ther's one more... it's called 'damage' ..
Another round of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) in the air... :)
Can you imagine signalling the waiter to get u the 'Damage' ???? !!!
