Just one of those days I guess. Things upset me very easily me thinks and I wish that it ain't so sometimes. But they say you've got to feel to be human and yet, being human sucks sometimes. Not really sure what I'm doing, although there is a hell of a lot that needs to be done. One moment you ...
As late as it is, this post is dedicated to all those who had lost all their hair, got traumatized and scarred for life in the hands of salon personnel at least once in their life. This strange and frightening phenomena has been taking place from time immemorial, actually ever since the art of hair dressing has been introduced ...
Lady Grouchalot had the misfortune of going to the post office twice for the past two weeks. The first time she suffered through the incident, she put it down to mere coincidence and her luck. However, it was during the second time that things were confirmed. Its official, post offices are run by evil, evil people. With eternally constipated looks ...
"So how goes the vacation?" asked an acquaintance just recently. ......and I wondered where to start. Do I tell him that I get to sleep 8 or more hours a day finally? Do I tell him that I wake up smiling and laugh way more than I used to before? Do I tell him that I find myself dancing ...
My brain.....is numb. It's had a trying hectic week and it's going to have an even more hectic weekend, so I'm gonna just let it ramble on today. It needs to rant. It is overworked. I can almost see the fumes rising up, up and above, over the skull. It's sometimes a curse to be a perfectionist. People take ...
So I went for my very first "beauty" treatment thingy. So all the cajoling, chastising, scolding, threatening and bulling by both Mother Dearest and the lovely girl who will be dressing me for the big day (who can be pretty scary when she wants to be btw) came into fruition as I headed salon-ward the other day. "Why you ...
Don't you just LOVE that indescribable feeling of freedom that you experience at the end of a working week? It's like the weekend just stretches right ahead of you and you are under no obligation to work. You can just stretch your limbs and be a lazy ass couch potato without feeling an iota of guilt about it and its ...
This week. It deserves a large slice of chocolate cake all on its own. Death by Chocolate. No, make that chocolate fudge cake. Now that I think about it, one slice wont cut it, make it an entire cake. ALL to myself. It's been an exhausting week, the crazy kind of week when one day it's Monday and suddenly, ...
Sunday evening vicious circle of revelations - I haven't read a single book or watched a single movie in the past few weeks because I am afraid to start a book for the fear of not being able to put it down because if I don't put it down I wouldn't have been able to complete anything that I ...
Why is it that everybody seems to be talking about soulmates these days? For the past couple of weeks, I met at least 8 people with whom I had very insightful and rather unexpected discussions about soulmates and kindred spirits. I have spoken with many people about this curious soulmate phenomena before but this is the first time in ...
Sitting here, with a big bowl of chocolate ice cream with music revving up in the background, writing this post without a thought or any definitive plans for tomorrow. Life is good :) I got a room full of books, unlimited time (well, unlimited until next week) and a head full of food ideas! Couldn't be happier! Well the ...
CHOCOLATE!! I NEED CHO CO LATE!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! Such is my eternal mood these days. I lay brooding in my thesis induced state in a nest of chocolate wrappers, surrounded by crumbs of Twix, KitKat and Ritzbury Chocolate fingers (I kid you not, that stuff is GOOD!), starring spaced out at a computer screen, so much so that the screen ...
The book fair this time was a rather squidgy affair. The usual rainy season culprits of our paradise isle - water, mud, floating Kottu-mee cups were very much there with pointed elbows, ample derriers, hefty bosoms and smelly armpits (I am of the opinion that deodorant must be made mandatory by law) that are occasionally shoved in your face ...
So what do you do when you have a thesis to write and less than a month to submit it? You eat, drink, you finish the book you've been reading, write a verse or two, knead some bread (and bake it), watch a movie and then write a longass blog post about it. Really I am pathetic. So as ...
Its been quite some time, I know. Well, things have been quite hectic and since this is the New Year week, I've been a little bit released form the ordinary flow of work. Well, I've still got some Sunday Times articles that I've got to hand in and then there is all the Avrudu stuff going on which hinders me ...
My eyebrows were raped at the hands of a terrible, terrible salon personnel today. They are still recovering from their psychological wounds. You see, I have very simple requirements when it comes to my eyebrows - to have two instead of one. Nothing fancy, just enough to undo the Helga from 'Hey Arnold' look. The problem is, when these ...
Rainy nights. Ooh I like this! What I don't like is the pouring just when its time to get off work. I dislike mud with a passion. I dislike getting soaked after a hard day of work. I know, my relationship with rain is complicated. Was stuck at work till a bit late today. Nights like this I rush ...
My mother took out her Kandyan bridal jewelry yesterday. I have had no interest in weddings or of being a bride, ever in my life. In my childhood, while every girl dreamed of their fairy tale wedding and playing happy families with their Prince Charming husband, I trained myself in self defense and dreamed of ridding the world of ...
Friday nights. Oh how I love them! I love them for their silence, their infinite patience, the soft, drawling limbs dragging, dragging, taking their time, taking their time. I am happy curling up with a book or just sitting by myself, my thoughts and I, far from the maddening crowds. You see, I am not the clubbing, partying kind. ...
Sunny climes are back again! Sweat trickling down the back, crazy frizzy hair and burning, scorching sun, oh how I've missed these! Christmas came and went but the celebrations still continue. It is the season of burnt, cut and blistered fingers, aching joints and painfully broken nails but radiant smiles on faces. With the habitual Christmas dinner on the ...
