Its probably been a while since I put something up on this blog well I've been busy...

OK not really but something like it, doing productive things like

• losing weight,
• learning how to make the perfect chicken curry,
• kick boxing using a certain beloved someone as my punching bag,
• ophthalmology,
• figuring out why my power points keep running away from me (uggghhhhh!!!)
• usage if the term "yo" in sentences
• buying things which I will never require
• hangovers (boo)
• chocolate binging (followed by weight loss attempts)
• learning how to spell mayonnaise
• picking my nose
• sipping tea at waterfall

but as the great multitasker i am Ive been able to strike that balance make so time to post on this blog...

Soon I will post something interesting, and no its not a writers block!!!

The getaway

After walking along the promenade beach in Pondi all I wanna do now is have a house by the beach. Inspired by all the pretty houses there I wanna house by the beach cuz life seems so restful. And with breathtaking views of the Bay and the sun rising over it every morning what else could one ask for.
We went to pondi a few days back cuz all we wanted to do was get out ! At least that's what I wanted. That's what had kept me going for the past five weeks... I'm soon gonna be out of here!
Breakfasts at french restaurants and taking a map and discovering places by ourselves was just so much fun. And then there was shopping. Now I really get what they mean by shop till you drop!
Oh ya and how can I forget... booze is tax free! lol. people actually buy it wholesale!

Sigh...

tommorow I head back to class

loading ammo

Oh ya... one more month to go, I have no idea if I'm anxious or eager for this change all i know is there's no looking back just another month to go! And thanks to a certain somebody who I was chatting with on msn today morning i realized that fact.
Well I finally made a list and finally started shopping. It must sound like some sorta great expedition to the Himalayas , and exaggerated hundredfold, cuz i guess this is a huge leap for me. As I said , never been away from home and family for a prolonged period of time and the last time i travelled without family, i got food poisoned! ( An incident in Ooty worth remembering!) .
So as I was saying, made this huge list of all the stuff I'll need, ranging from portable iron to hankies, to nail polish remover to stapler pins!
So we set out to get this stuff, my mom, a shopaholic who knows every inch of commercial street and the best of stuff in these gullies there ( shoppers secret- you always find the nicer things in the gullies of commercial street than the main road and get the best bargains there).
So we got a lot of junk jewelery. I just cant stop collecting them! So as we explored further and got more stuff. We were in one of these gullies and getting something called as a pico done to the clothes. It was a narrow gully with predominantly of Muslim/parsi tailor shops and on this wall was a poster of none other than Saddam Hussein. Inconspicuous as it may have been, at that moment when I noticed it , it seemed strange in this particular setting. Long gone is this tyrant, but his impression still remains even in the narrow gullies in commercial street.
We moved on, picked up our clothes and set off for Bhagat ram, very famous for their sweets especially gulab jamuns which i learned to love because of the way they make it.
Today we plan raid my grand moms cupboards for some necessities like towels and bedsheets etc, shes got an entire store which saves us the trouble of going and shopping for some.
My social calender right about now looks full, with so many people in town all of a sudden sigh...
So off i have to set out again.
In a way, I wish this would all be over, I guess now you might know what i mean by eagerly and anxiously!
