Miss!

I feel miss-spelt somehow, an uneasy feeling. Like I am not comfortable in my own skin, like there is something in me I want to shake off. There are things I am still unhappy about, things I have not come to terms with. There is so much going on and I am not giving anything deep thought. I am skimming the surface and just lilting through the days. When it hits, I don’t know if I will be braced for the impact. I am now doing what I am best at, shielding. Achievements seem disparaged, life seems ridiculous. I just need to iron things out before the storm breaks for real.

Catching up!

Life has been pleasant, neither too exciting nor too dull. Shifting through days of boredom or chaos has been balanced. Classes, freelance work, yoga, dance on the weekends - Kathak in the mornings and cha cha, ballroom jive, salsa, samba, waltz, quickstep, ballroom tango, :D Loving it!

I am in a mad rush catching up with lost time, cooking away and mighty pleased with the new found baking and culinary skills. Its all good.

This one too passes me by!

I lived though it and I have been there done that for quite a few things in life now. I went through the turn of the millennium with Y2K and other threats and stayed unscathed through it all. Now its no different really I am still smiling my way up and down the slopes. I have seen it all and I stand married!

When it hits you!

It is very very elusive, reactions are delayed thanks to being in denial. But when it hits you, it hits you hard. The things that point the way are many and myriad. Some being:

When you go into a veggie store and actually pick out good ones and ask the vendor if they are really good or not, coz you have no clue if they are good or aren't, and then you get smart comments or strange looks from the vendor.

When you go grocery shopping with a list given by mom because you don't even know what are the must haves in the kitchen and you are clueless about what dal is for what dish and you never knew there were so many dal's in the first place.

When you have to be in the kitchen making dinner while the husband to be and brother are happily watching the match, this when you have never missed a single match if you were at home and made sure you kept away from the kitchen area at all times of the year.

When you get more calls from the furniture store and the curtain store and home stop's of the world than calls from friends.

When romantic late night conversations do not exist at all.

When cleaning and obsessive behaviour of ma that you dreaded so much manifests in you like a latent program the minute you enter your home.

When you have more packing plans for late evening than party plans.

When you are wondering of you are wife material at all and making alternate plans of taking to your heels and running away, just in case.

When everything slowly spins away from your locus of control.

When your mother tells you that your wedding is her event and not yours and you have to wait for your daughter to be wedded to manage that as your event.

When you have to fight off suggestions of gold, jewellery, flowers and make up and try and hold your peace.

When your dreams revolve around every single factor that could go wrong at the wedding or even after.

Phew! I am sweating bullets!

Two months to go! May 23rd, please take your time in coming.

Well, I'm Back!

I have returned from hibernation and writing dormancy. My exams for this semester are OVER! I have finished meeting and recovering from a small road and vehicle mishap. Up ad about back at Wooqer, working and waiting for the next lap of college and classes to begin, anticipating results and hoping to top yet again. :) I have tons to say but too much workload to catch up on. A broken phone, a trip to mysore, lots of partying and some good resolutions. All's well on this side of the spectrum

Now you can wooq it!

Ollie once asked his mom to google the price of veggies, well, Google can't really list that. But Wooqer has just managed to do that. Capture the whole lot of people who are looking for sale and promotions in their city!

Wanna know more: wooq it! on www.wooqer.com

New Year Beckons excitement!

The last week of the year seems to be shaping up just fine. All travel plans this month flopped thanks to my health, but this week is looking up and looking good. After a long stint of working and entertaining strangers on every New Years Eve, the change is welcome, the last two years have been fun, and hosting my own party at home is so exciting. Pallu the co-host is just as excited and we are looking forward to three things, Avatar 3D, the party and our trip to Mysore on Saturday Yaay Yaay Yaay!
