:(

Within 24 hours I managed to find a long lost friend and upset her(probably lose her again, don't know the damage yet). All thanks to an email challenged friend who forwarded a 'confidential' mail to the above said person 'by mistake'. Hmrppphhh!! I don't feel as sorry, I really do think her husband looks funny.

Pointless

'Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless' said someone great in the forwarded email I got yesterday. And I did just that. Watched 4 movies, went on long walks, ate like crazy. I plan to watch the worldcup finals now, don't really care who wins. May the best team with the most good looking men win. :)

Update:

Did France just lose? Did Zidane really do that? I am fine but it was a major blow for my sister who has never seen any sport in her life but whose current joblessness situation had turned her into a soccer fan. She spent the entire time educating me on what offside is and telling me what a perfect gentleman Zidane is. Until of course red card happened. I think she is still in shock.

One year old!

Dear Blog,

You were born a year ago on this very day, another one in a land of millions. I wasn't sure what I'd do with you but for someone who hardly has anything interesting to say I think I did a good job of bringing you up. Sure,I never poured my heart out here but I am glad you listened so patiently to all that I have had to rant about. I am thankful for you being non judgmental, for letting me be what I am and sometimes letting me be what I want to be. Don't be deterred by the counter that seems to have frozen or the comments that may not come, it was never meant to be that way, most posts like the last one are notes to myself. But both you and I will agree the best part of this journey, the icing on the cake, has been meeting all the people through you, people who bothered to read and cared enough to comment. I love them all, I really do. I don't know your future coz I don't know mine but I know that I will always love you, you are one those very few things in this world that I can call of my own. Happy Birthday Blog!

Post to myself

You idiot, don't you ever learn? There are no God sent angels out there, you are all alone. Hear me? Alone. Learn to fend for yourself. Don't waste your time and energy hoping people will rescue you. They wont. They have their own bloody lives to live don't they?

FYI

The auto driver license display system is useful. For the uninitiated, all autos in Bangalore are now supposed to have a blown up image of their license displayed, easy enough for the passengers to see. Good initiative, you know the driver has a license, you know its him not an imposter, any problem you face all you have to do is note down the license number and report. But more than that, this system has provided me the answer to the question that has baffled us all for ages. Why don't auto drivers agree to take you where you want to go? Especially in the late hours? For the answer, see the address column in the license. Every time an auto driver has agreed to take me home its only because he stays in or around that area. So if you are tired of being snubbed at by auto drivers and cant take the humiliation anymore, here's your chance to get back at them and give them a taste of their own medicine. Instead of asking "Xnagar bartira?" ("Will you come to Xnagar?") , ask them "Nimma mane yelli?" (Where is your house?").If its not where you want to go, look away and walk off with an air of dignity like its the most natural thing in the world to do. Hehe. I am going to do that tomorrow.

Just another rant

Aamir Khan is allowed to make mistakes. I forgive him for fanaa but what I hate now is that everytime I say 'I love fanaa' people are going to think I am referring to the movie. Saying 'I love fanna, the song, from yuva' is such a pain. Don't know if I can forgive him for that.

So world cup is here. I am missing my bro for the first time since he left for US. He was the one who got us excited about sporting events, he would talk endlessly before we (me and sis) would have to relent and hand him the remote. He even made us watch formula one. And at one point of time I liked racing, I liked Alonso even with my bro(and the whole world) telling me Schumi was the best. I cant sit through whole of 60 laps now.(or is it 70 laps?) Same with French open, haven't wacthed a single match. Funny, how I easily say 'I miss him', here on my blog. I cant dare saying that in open. We aren't very expressive, our family. Nobody has ever said 'I love you'. I would die in a fit of laughter if somebody said that. Surprisingly 'I hate you' is used all the time. I'd like my kids to be more eloquent and expressive, if I can be that myself. I'd like them to make 'mothers day' cards for me, may be cook breakfast for me once in a while. What kids, you ask? I am going to adopt, if I cant have kids of my own. And I am going to adopt a puppy. I hope I can be a good mommy. I'd watch them play, soccer maybe. That reminds me, now that world cup is here, who is your favorite team? I don't have a favorite, I just know I don't want Brazil to win.
