Diwali-the festival of food,lights and noise. The festival would always begin very noisily, with the neighbourhood kids bursting crackers as early as six in the morning.And you could always find me hiding under the bed.Then we'd have to get ready and wear our new 'jatang' clothes. It was amazing how a new dress colud make us so happy. Then came all the pujas and the food.And everybody puts on about three gazillion kilos.But everybody is like what the heck? its DIWALI!! In the evenings mum and sister would light all the diyas and I would pretend to help.And the best part would be sitting on the terrace watching all the rockets.Diwali was always marked by our neighbour-uncle hanging up his battered yellow star shaped lantern, which would stay there till new years eve. Good days those! But times sure have changed. Neighbour uncle has got a bright orange lantern now. :) Saw him hanging it up today.

Heres wishing everybody a super-duper Diwali!!!! Have a great time and don't worry about the gazillion kilos,you'll lose it just in time for the next festival!

I'm an addict!!!!!!!!

2006-07-12T12:32:00.000-07:00

I think I'm turning into an SMS addict. :( . Always knew I messaged too much, but guess its getting out of hand now. People are reading my writings and saying she's definitely a messager (made that word up, I'm admitting I have a problem,I'm allowed to make up words). One person even asked me if the spellings were deliberate( I said "delibrte? naw, din thnk it mttered") See what I mean. I have reached a state where i just can't type complete words. And punctuation is a whole new concept to me. (sad, I know.) But I'm confessing that I have a problem. And confession is the first step to recovery or some crap like that. (I used to watch a lot of Oprah if you didnt realise. ) So I'm gonna try and use whole words from now on. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I can't stand it. Maybe I should join a therapy group or something. Reckon there's an SMSAA?? Maybe I should start one.

Here's how I realised I had a problem,
a) I started saying "yawn" when I was actually yawning.
b) I say "hehe" when i find something funny
c) I send blank SMS s to my friends when I'm bored.
d) I take like 5 minutes to type a sentence with whole words.
e) I put commas in the wrong places since I'm not used to them.

If you suffer from the same symptoms,kindly contact me. Dont really think I can start SMSAA( Short Messaging Service Addicts Anonymous) alone.

PS-MMS addicts also welcome. :)
PS2- If you find spelling mistakes with this post too, you might be the one with the problem.

Road crossing – an art or a pain?

2006-07-11T07:21:00.000-07:00

This post is dedicated to one of my best buds who claims to be one of the best road crossers (might I add that this friend ended up denting a bajaj scooter once while crossing the road.) I salute you!

So here is the thing, I am not very good at road crossing. (I repeat I am NOT six) ( I can cross residential roads n all I'm not THAT pathetic!) Anyway, my friends think I should practise crossing. But I'm smart, I have this plan which works most of the times. See I have this tall friend (hehe!) and everytime I need to cross I jus leave the crossing part to my friend. But theres a problem, I dont have too many tall friends andI'm generally exposed to one side of the traffic.( Now u know why I like one-ways). So I thought I could improvise my plan.So im thinking all I need now is another tall friend , maybe two incase one falls sick. And voila all my traffic troubles are gone! (told u I was smart) So heres how my ad will read

WANTED : One tall person with good traffic sense and good eye sight. Should be able to make conversation during the period of the road crossing. Should be willing to risk his/her life for short delightful people. (ME) Should maintain good hand hygiene. If interested contact pp.

Hey I m paying for the ad might as well ask for the best.If everything fails will just buy two of those humungous red STOP signs.
