The Perils of too much (choice)

I just can’t seem to find the right man for me”, moaned my sister. This was one of her finding ‘Mr. Right’ phases and she was hell-bent on finding a good husband by the year end.

I liked V but he turned out to be psychotic, D is extremely sweet but a total loser, A makes my hormones go haywire but can’t seem to decide even one single thing and I feel no fizz when I kiss D.  He practically acts like a monk. Why does it have to happen to just me”, she continued, glumly looking into her cup of coffee, maybe for an answer.

D is not a soda to give you fizz and for all you know D's err... quipment is faulty”. I smirked at my own PJ. I didn’t want to burst her bubble that Mr. Right doesn’t exist. It has always been Mr. Right at that moment of time. “Why don’t you try dating all four of them together?

Very funny! You never give me sound advice. I always feel as if I am the elder sister! Maybe I will just go abroad and get a guy there! How come you never have men problems in your life?

They are not so important. I am just having a good time with them,” I replied faking a nonchalance. 

What! Really?” She almost spilled her coffee. “Wait till I tell Ma and Y. I never knew you thought like that!

Are all younger sisters such pests?



P.S. For all those who wondered if I was gone for good... well I guess life is (ahem!) interesting enough to write about again!

Sitting in the office on a weekend learning (officially) how to create a blog.

The day when everything goes wrong...

Alarm didn't go off
Overslept
X doesn't love me :(
Maid didn't turn up
Forgot to mark boss an imp mail
Client went berserk (later found out her mom-in-law has come to visit for 2 days)
Dropped and spilled my lunch
Have a mountain of work piling up on my desk on a Friday and all I am doing is writing this post and staring moodily out of my window...
And its not even 4pm yet.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Profound Truths

While fighting with Y over remote:

You find stuff on TV interesting only when others are already watching something else on it...

Worries on turning 30!


- What if my sex drive dives? (I really like having sex)

- Is it the water, my hormones, stress or just growing 30 that is making my hair fall? (it is next in my most worried about list, beaten only by a fear of all my teeth falling out)

- All my relatives will pester me for my biological clock and how it is ticking and how should I squeeze out a couple of brats (no, thank you) before my uterus shuts down. I have enough worries juggling X, Y, job, boss to worry about having issues with my fertility

- Wrinkles

- Parents (they ARE growing old)

- Should I buy a car? (I know it is random but till now I have been like champion of using public transport due to some twisted eco reason I have)

- Is eating all that Chinese good for my skin? (as you grow older you have to seriously ponder over these questions)

- How to unsleep myself from the bed every morning for that forever pending jog?

- Will X love me? (I don’t think he does, but since we are talking worries, WTH)

- Will Y love me?

- Will I love anyone of these back?



It’s a long list and I just have 3 months to figure out the answers…fuuuuuuuu#%!

Accidentally...

has lowered the productivity of my office by making everyone addicted to http://www.members.shaw.ca/gf3/circle-the-cat.html

haha  

How full (of yourself) can you get?

Here I am sitting in my office with head in my hands toying with a piece of news that won't even make a snippet forget 'news' and my phone rings

Boss: "He wants a big splash tomorrow"
Me: "Um."
Boss: "You know what that means?"
Me: "Yeah, he should have given me his nude pic to publish"

Whether weather …



Will change? Ofcourse, it will! It is the eternal cycle of nature; seasons come and go, the eternal change we have learnt in geography blah blah blah. Right now, it doesn’t seem so. I am sitting in a room where inspite of two fans running overhead, I feels like I am doing to kill myself by sweating. The humidity is killing people and I can happily testify as a witness to this crime.

He said people talk about weather when they have nothing better to discuss. Well, if weather overcomes every clutter in my mind, what else is there to write on? I don’t feel like eating, working, sleeping or even having sex! I sit with my laptop everyday to update my blog but all I can think about is ‘it’s so bloody hot since last 2 months!’

Only way to beat the heat, atleast in Mumbai, is either to sit in the AC 24X7 (which will give you a cold and trust me- a cold in summers, is not something anyone can be happy about), read a book or drown yourself in music. I keep alternating between the three or just end up eating mangoes. I think I can easily identify with the passion for mangoes of the man in the Mazza  Mango Mania ad. Each year the summer starts with a firm resolve to resist the temptation of binging on mangoes and the summer ends with a mango for breakfast, lunch and dinner and equal number of pimples to compete.

I can see the cloud cover building on slowly in the Mumbai sky since last week though. And I guess once it starts raining, I will miss the sunshine. Maybe then I will, perhaps, abuse my right to freedom of speech to crib about rains, tangy mouth from binging on jamuns and mud ;)
