The girl within 2008-06-13 01:57:00 Charming and witty. You are always the first person to come up with a wisecrack. Sure, you have an attitude, but that's why people love you. You keep them on their toes. Sometimes you can be misleading, but always end up doing the right thing for the people you love.Which Disney Princess Are You?I found this link on Karen's blog and thought it would be a fun quiz (if I can take these silly quizzes Read more:within
Life in mosaic 2008-07-03 23:25:00 I found this on Lemonade's blog and I thought it was a brilliant tag idea. Here are the rules:1. Type your answer to each of the questions below in flickr search.2.

At the end of it all... 2008-07-02 03:50:00 A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle - Irina Dunn (I thought it was Gloria Steinem who said it. There was even this one site that said Cher had said this.)We all know that quote. I recently came across a link called "This fish needs a bicycle" (on emmaenlighted's blog) which I thought was a cute title and it gave me an idea that I'd like to add to the women, men, fish and bicycles story
Rainy days and Mondays sometimes cheer me up 2008-07-01 22:14:00 It rained like crazy a couple of Saturdays ago with thunder and lightning and everything. I had a couple of friends over so they got stuck with me for the night. The balcony fittings were falling apart so we spent some time tying down the blinds that were flapping around as it were possessed. We got quite wet and cold but I didn't have any milk to make hot chocolate. It would have been a great sle Read more:Mondays
Quarterlife crisis - symptom #2 2008-07-01 01:23:00 I've received my share of "singlehood" forwards over the years. They help us laugh at our situation, maybe cope with them better and maybe still keep us wondering if we'd rather be on the other side and that these were just created by the singles to feel better about themselves. Whatever it may be, it is still a phase in most normal lives. For some it's just a longer phase than usual.You've proba Read more:symptom
International day against drug abuse 2008-06-26 01:21:00 Today I got the first sms advert that I didn't get annoyed with. Vodafone informed me that today is the International
Day against
Drug Abuse. I didn't know that. I hope that with people joking around about how high they were last night and how they need to get high or saying "let's go get high" like it was some victory cry, a message like that would get the notice it needs. I don't think people s Read more:abuse
Do men and their cars eventually resemble each other? 2008-06-25 10:57:00 I drew these in a hurry and since there are so many, I was too lazy to redraw them more clearly. So I just added some colour scribbles and decided to post it. I'm kind of proud of my car angles though.

I should get my own private box at the cinema! 2008-06-24 00:12:00 Some of our blogger friends met on Sunday at Sparky's. I have a new favourite there - the ground beef south of the border nachos. I ate that first and then had half another meal when the bloggers arrived. I always take home my leftover food from Sparky's - it tastes good at 4pm while watching tv. They also have new T-shirts for sale - they're really nice (I'm not just saying that because I like t-
Three tags with one post 2008-06-21 23:57:00 I get tagged a lot these days. Some of them are quite interesting which is why I probably humor them.The first one is from Bungi: I need to write the title to my own memoir using 6 words. And then something about tagging more people.This is a tough one so I did three. My editor can pick one when it's going into print.Lost, found and lost in wonder. - A little tribute to my first blog amongst other Read more:Three
For this I lie awake at nights 2008-07-16 04:34:00 My new car got its first little scratch. This motorbike guy (who else) had his helmet attached to the side of his bike sticking out like a side car and decided that he could squeeze through a narrow path formed by my car and something else. And he kept saying it wasn't him, that it was his helmet.What was on his head if the helmet wasn't, you ask? He had his handkerchief or bandanna or something Read more:nights
Getting acquainted with Jane 2008-07-15 23:45:00 "A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment" - Jane AustenI watched "Mansfield Park" a couple of days ago (I'm terrible, I only watch the movies). I loved "Pride & Prejudice" but the "Mansfield Park" story hit home in other ways. Now I know what it is about Jane Austen's heroines and stories that so many women relate to. It would pr
No, I don't want a party hat! 2008-07-11 05:21:00 I had to buy candles for a birthday cake. It wasn't a big deal. Stop off at the supermarket, get the birthday candles and go to the restaurant. However, as such things need to happen to me, the supermarket was out of candles so I went to the store next door. This is a one of a kind place that's been around for as long as I have. There's a "sales person" sitting at the entrance so I ask him if he h
The times between being faced with choices are too short 2008-07-08 01:55:00 "The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one." - Joan BaezThere are moments when I understand a friend's decision to replace human companionship with a dog. They should replace "When the dogs bark" bit from the "My favourite things" song with something else. Sometimes you wonder if it's worth the trouble to be civil and nice when it's so darn difficult to Read more:choices
Kappa mini-mocha 2008-07-07 01:49:00 Yet another weekend has gone by. Friday night was a family meeting night. Bonding with second cousins after a long after-work-hours' team meeting is good therapy. I slept in really late on Saturday. I needed the sleep. I've not been feeling 100% this past week. It was like having those fever symptoms but without the fever. And not in the good way. It might be something in the air, it might be beca
Go fish! 2008-08-04 04:22:00 I used to go fishing with my dad when I was young younger. It was a lot of fun because it didn't matter what kind of fish you caught or how big, all that mattered was catching one (preferably one more than the other kids). Children can actually have a lot of patience when it comes to waiting for a fish to bite. Back then I didn't have any problems about hooking a worm or stepping in ponds that had
Back to bombs 2008-07-28 00:00:00 "Terrorism is contempt for human dignity. " - Kjell Magne BondevikSo, apparently the city is on a high security alert because of all the bomb blasts in other cities. I got a text message last night telling me to be careful and that the officials have guessed that the people behind the blast are following the word "BACK" - B for Bangalore (done), A for Ahmedabad (done), C for Chennai (next) and K f
Birthday party weekend 2008-07-27 22:45:00 We threw a surprise party for my sister on Friday night. It was a tricky situation because a) she expected it and tried her best to create obstacles for us b) we're lousy at acting and keeping secrets c) I had an office meeting that would only be done at 9pm d) I had to pick up the food after that and hide it. I had to do my best to stop her from eating dinner and going to bed, while being nonchal Read more:Birthday
Respect and Education - is there hope? 2008-07-23 22:57:00 I'm not into politics. I should be more aware but I don't really know much about what's going on except that once in a while we hear about apes causing a ruckus in the parliament houses. And then there was the whole trust vote thing that happened yesterday. I still wasn't interested until I heard Rahul Gandhi's speech. Yes, he's still cute and all but he truly showed us what a difference education Read more:Education
When vexed, whack cute things 2008-07-22 04:47:00 I didn't want to miss out on all the bunny posts. So here's my contribution. I read that Stephan Pastis has this philosophy pinned on his wall - "When in doubt, kill cute things
". I'm too much of a sissy to kill though. (Except for cockroaches. I love playing paintball with them and a can of Baygon. Leave no survivors.)

Mid-week reviews #2 2008-07-21 22:17:00 Watched "The Dark Knight". Loved it. Thankful that no actual slicing of mouth happens. That would be too "Pan's Labyrinth"-ish for me. Heath Ledger has a legendary final role indeed - he was amazing as The Joker. Therefore, Two-face's role gets a little sidelined even though it is quite a big part of the movie.I won't say that it was as bright, colourful and amusing as the "Batman Forever" and "Ba Read more:reviews
Boxed in - Dove's new "Under pressure" video 2008-08-13 23:07:00 Dove has a brand new video
out - "Under pressure". It starts off similar to the "Onslaught" video with a child having all these "beauty" images hitting her constantly. I agree with the line about girls increasingly being put under pressure to fit a beauty norm. I guess more and more women either desperately try and become like the women out there or end up hating them and themselves for that. I k
80808 2008-08-08 07:09:00 I wanted to write a post today because it's 08/08/08. That's a unique date and I got a text message saying that I won't get a chance to have this date for another thousand years. Then again, I think all dates are unique for one life time. Wouldn't yesterday's date 07/08/08 next occur on 07/08/2108 (so isn't it actually just a hundred years)? I highly doubt my existence at that point so darn, I mis
Mamma mia! 2008-09-09 07:34:00 The Mamma
Mia! movie is finally coming! I can hardly wait. I really hope to get to see it as soon as possible and that it will be as good as the play. I'm so excited that the only thing stopping me from wearing an ABBA outfit to the premier is my slight hesitation towards being stared at. And that people might think I'm part of those awful festival shows going on at the moment.I've been really bus
Freedom by chocolate 2008-08-22 00:36:00 It seems like ages since I've written. Everything seems to move slowly and that's really deceptive because you sit up one day and realise that a lot of time has passed and you didn't really make much use of it. I hate it when that happens. This is when I feel sorry for every old person I see. I get sigh-ish sometimes when I see school kids so I can only imagine how they must feel.I wanted to write Read more:Freedom
Forwarding women 2008-09-23 23:55:00 This was forwarded to me today (I deleted the bits in uppercase and stuff because I really hate forwards that have some lines in uppercase but this is pretty much the whole story):Women who know their placeA point of view.Barbara Walters, of Television's 20/20, did a story on gender roles in Kabul ,Afghanistan several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that womencustomarily walked five pa Read more:Forwarding
The salvation of ALL people waits in thy hand 2008-09-22 05:05:00 When we live in a sheltered environment, it's easy to not talk about things that are happening next door. I wanted to write about this and yet didn't want to in case I'd sound biased. But this counts as a human rights issue just as much as the other topics I've written about. When it comes down to it, this is murder. Plain and simple taking of human lives. And using their beliefs and faith as a r Read more:people
Money, money, money 2008-10-17 06:08:00 Elessar invited me to write for Blog Action Day 2008. I knew my deadline was sometime in October but thanks to my non-existant blogido this month, I missed it by that much! But a promise is a promise and it's better to be two days late than five days late. I'm not an expert on this topic nor can I make any judgement on it, so I'll just speak about my observations, keeping in mind that no one is an
A spoonful of sugar 2008-10-08 23:59:00 Ever had one of those days when you wake up feeling alright and then remember all aspects of your life, realise that you're still you and mutter a few words that express your discomfiture? Maybe that's just someone who's not a morning person or someone who's in their twenties.That's just the general sense of blurriness I've been having. It's so part of my life now that I may not know clarity when
Diwali - The festival of noise? 2008-10-29 01:35:00 I'm sure I have plenty to say about that whole ordeal but all I'm going to say is this.ps - If I'm wrong about any of those countries mentioned, blame the Internet.
Where have all the good movies gone? 2008-10-17 07:25:00 How I loved him in "Cat on a hot tin roof" and "The Sting". I didn't know he had a marriage that lasted 50 years. I didn't even know he passed away last month. Then I came across a blog where all these current generation people said that they didn't know who he was. It's a shame because it's people like them who really added class and glamour to the movies
and people seem to have changed the meani
