Chennai

Image
Perfectly regular day at work today, was in the middle of writing an  urgent proposal when  I heard a car honk and then another.. one after the other persistently and for a flash instant my mind raced to Chennai and back! In this city people hardly honk. I can hear cars from my flat if the balcony is open, but it is nothing but a  constant buzz from the 21st level..the few honks are lost in transition I guess. I wonder what it is we associate with a place or a memory perhaps? For me a city is its noises and smells. Just two simple things.. Of course people always talk about how a place being scenic or filled with memories is the primary association with a city... strangely for me its the sounds and smells [not taking into account people of course because then otherwise its all about who's there and *cough* at times the absence of some that make one smile in relief ;)] If I were to take two cities I've lived in Chennai and Bangalore; and brought in one of my favor...

Lazy Fridays

Image
Friday is my favorite day in the week! Not because I always have something awesome planned for the weekend.. quite the opposite in fact! Friday is my DO NOTHING day! Its a day I spend most of my time in bed :D No I don't just sleep the whole day cmon! gimme some credit.. I'm not that lazy ;) I just like the comfort of knowing that today I don't have to go out for any reason or use other furniture.. you see I have this principle (YES Principle :P) that when one can sit one must not stand and when one can lie down then one jusst must not sit ;) And on fridays I am a woman of principle! Friday is my wake up as late as you can day.. maybe miss breakfast n get serious about brunch! Eat too much and get back in bed for a short siesta or check on my downloads.. read my favorite magazine coincidentally also called FRIDAY! (Can you blame me???) *Sigh* at the food section and dream of being a food critic or journalist traveling the world.,, have 5 dogs of my own.. use a horse to get ...

On love, dreams and loss

I think the worst part of young romance is that; yes, they fade away because of a simple cause like age, but unfortunate still is that you lose a friend. Probably one that you could have had for life. That is the worst part really, the departure of a true friend. On losing friends, The loss of a friend. By death or as bad when you are both alive and not willing to kick ball together. I have lost more than one friend not because of death. Fortunately, I have lost none to death ; so I cannot truly say which is worse by experience. What I have experienced is that we allow different parts of our personality to come alive with different friends and when the friendship dies; sadly, that part of us does too. On Dreams, Dreams are a mystery. Are they in some strange way reality? Are they even connected to reality? Or are they just an interpretation of what we really want? For all we know they could just be random thoughts the mind brings together when it gets bored of the sleeping ...

HORRORSCOPE !!!

Image
HAVE YOU HEARD??? Apparently the earth has shifted from its axis due to the gravitational pull of the moon and changed the way the stars are aligned! :( Why is this a big deal? Its a HUGE deal coz it just confused all our personalities in a flash! Yesterday I was an Arien and today I'm a Piscean :-/ From the RAM to a fish !! ughhh.. We're yet to hear if the Chinese horoscope has changed too.. maybe I'm no longer a cute rabbit! :( I may have just turned into a rat or a snake :-/ *gulp* I mean what does this mean? Does this mean that all our personalities are changing now? or were changed when the stars moved! I don't really know why I'm this upset! I feel stripped of my personality! Yes I did obsess over my knowledge of the signs and judged every person I met according to their date of birth which now seems soo absurd! Not to mention all the people who I've tortured to read the book and forced to believe even if they did not want to :-/ I'm sure they all t...

Mood Swings!

Image
I’m in such a fantastic mood that I can’t even describe!! I wonder if emotions are a deciding factor in our personalities; perhaps they decide who we are even when we don’t realize it! As I type this I feel I am playing the piano to coffee and cigarettes playing in my earphones & smiling!! Yes smiling to a song that usually saddens my heart! & The thoughts are flowing yes.. A little too fast for my typing skills! :/ and yet I couldn’t care less.. I’m loving this, this flow of words… of thoughts! Strange how a mood can make something regular seem spectacular! I’m still not sure what brought on this mood! Let me see, I had chocolate chip cookies that crumbled in my mouth to give way to melting chocolate beads! I had a pack of chilli flavoured lays and coca cola ! Oh oh or maybe just maybe its coz my hair smells so heavenly today! I recommend the new Sunsilk series :D Oh well it was probably the coke! Whatever it was I feel like dancing or going to a karaoke bar! :...

New Year Diaries

Image
I wrote my first diary entry when I was 6 or 7. When sentence construction and spellings were a struggle! Since then, every New year meant a new diary! I remember my very first diary entry, when I thought I had to introduce myself & my family (go figure!) because I had just met the diary of course ;) My diary was my secret keeper those days! And I chose to write my secrets in the most unusual places! Inside my cupboard! - The side where clothes hang, I'd sit under the coats and dresses, with my teddy bear & a lamp! Yes a LAMP which had to be connected & I would sit and write in the faint glow, even though I could go out and write in the sunshine/tubeshine! :P The top of the same cupboard was my other spot to write about the day's grievances - which was either my mom not being nice [in response to me breaking a vase or some other expensive piece with my so called 'indoor squash game' ;)] or a fight with my sister who may have refused to play one of my various...
