welcome to my world

More movies over the weekend

2008-06-16T02:30:00.000-07:00

I saw 3 movies over the weekend..

Cat On a Hot Tin Roof - This one was so beautiful, specially for people who are facing some trouble with their married life. And the relationship which is shown between the father and the son, is depicted so aptly. Loved the movie. :)
Bridges of Madison County - Another Clinteast movie. There are very few movies, about which I think after, 2 or 3 days after I watch the movie. But both these movies have had my mind ever since I've seen them. This one was so subtle, yet spoke soo much. Really recommend both these movies...
Sarkar Raj - I havent seen Sarkar, so cannot comment which one of the 2 is better. I liked the movie. I liked Aishwarya's diamond solitaires, were oh so wooow!!I am getting those next month!!!!

Missing Bangalore

2008-06-09T13:22:00.000-07:00

Yeah people...you all guessed it right...
4 years in Bangalore...tasted its traffic..its pollution, its rains, its autowalas, its pubs, its idli sambhar, changing homes, college, meeting friends over weekends, hating mondays, FORUM, the concerts, PARAMOUNT, AIWAS, buffet breakfast and lunches....
And now...I have this city which offers me nothing but malls...and some more malls...with no public transportation, no friends to kill the weekend with, no need to change homes, no evenings to look forward to, so that I can "hit" the gym, no hurrys of reaching home "as it might rain", no place to go for idli vadas...I feel like a lost soul in this city...
Or is it part of the "marriage package"? Whatever is the cause, the effect is taking a toll over me..At times, I wonder, whatever happened to that girl called Neha, who swore, will never accept for an arranged marriage, will never leave Bangalore, will live life o her own terms? Who loved life...who lived life...now its just the mechanic me...who looks forward to going to office...at least she feels wanted there, have people to talk to, has a place where she can have her own way...
Or is it that zone where she loves to hide herself?

I am still in love with Banaglore. Though I know I can never return there.

Movie time!

2008-03-07T00:23:00.000-08:00

Thanks to seventymm.com, I get all ma fav movies on ma doorsteps. I just have to order them and here I go....
Saw 2 movies recently..

City of God - Serious stuff...might appear to be funny by the way it has been narrated but if u ponder over the context, its so sad...I truely recomment it!And o yes, if you do not get the DVD of it, dont bother taking the VCD,you wont understand a jack...its not english!
On golden pond - OOOO loved this one...watch this one for Katherine Hepburn and Henry Fonda's acting...the direction...very real!!!!!!

New Life?

2008-02-15T05:58:00.000-08:00

This post was due since many long days...And since way too many things have taken place since then...posting some pictures for you....They will speak more than anything else..

The D Day

2007-10-25T15:26:00.000-07:00

Ladies and Gentlemen..All of you are invited to wish me for ma marriage, which is on 28th Dec, 2007.

It's been really long, since I posted. Even changed ma URL. Most of you must be wondering, as to whateva happened to me! I am very much alive and kicking...Just enjoying these few days I have with myself.

And O yes, it was my birthday on this Sunday, ie, 21st October.

Updates:

I have got an iPod - 80 GB. IPod classic. And it's too sexy!! Check out the pic :) I still have lots to figure out in it though :(
My gym is taking places :) I have a personal trainer too now.
Office...aaahh...nothing much to talk about
Parties-going strong
Friends-getting fewer by the day...everybody has become too busy in their own world, which is the corporate world most of the times..
Movies-As good as ever-the last one I saw was The Insider. One hellava movie

I ma planning to post more often. Planning to blog more often. Hoping that you guys neva run out of ideas to blog. This is one of the few things which will connect me to my future :)

Cheers Guys :)

2007-05-03T18:18:00.000-07:00

Now to break a few hearts..and mine too:

I am getting engaged on June 24, 2007.

2007-04-12T08:30:00.000-07:00

Now for some sad news...

I AM GETTING MARRIED. REAL SOON :(

Thus began the gym expedition...

2007-02-02T21:37:00.000-08:00

After a lot of struggling, one fine day, I was able to drag myself out of the bed to head towards the super sexy gym I have FINALLY started going to. (pssssssstt...I am paying only 1500, which includes 500 as one time commitment charge, 250 for the physio test done at the gym, and 250 for the dietician who will be recommending me not very likable diet for the coming days! :(

Excerpts of some conversations with the guys at the gym:

Day 1 (Friday) : Hi! My first day. Whats the procedure like....bla bla bla........some minor exercises...........

Saturday...........Its a saturday!Weekend....how can I work out on a weekend??

Sunday.............Its a sunday!!!Lemme sleep!! For God's sake!!Its a sunday...its even stated in the Bible...Observe the Sabbath!!!

Monday.........Aah........I have started off with ma chumps....I just cant go..........

Day 2 (Tuesday) : I am so sorry....I know I had an appointment with the dietician, without which my daily chart cannot be made....but tomorrow I shall definately come!!!!

Wednesday.............

Thursday...................................

Day 3 (Friday) : I am so sorry....I know I had an appointment with the dietician at 7 and I am 45 min late, without which my daily chart cannot be made....but tomorrow I shall definately come!!!! OK fine...sunday will be no problem!!

Friday work out ends....after carefully scrutinizing the cute, handsome etc. categories of guys who come to work out there, I most sweetly bid goodbye to ma trainer, who is also quite good looking and said...c ya on MONDAY!

Since people are so jealous about the fact that others can be happy too...my dietician called me as soon as I stepped out of the GYM to remind me of my appointment with her on SUNDAY!!!!!

With people like her living on this planet, I have no idea how can I follow The Lord's commandments when he says, keep the Sabbath, holy :(

Though, going for work outs was totally my decision, working out at the machines is nothing less than some kind of punishment I am going through :(
But there are many good things also attached to it...Like :

Getting up early in the morning
Checking out the handsome guys in the gym
Save on electricity money at ma home, as I take warm shower at the gym itself and go directly to the office from there
I have all the more reasons to spend money on ma fav ADIDAS sportswear!!
Feel fresh and energetic all day long!!!

Achint and I have bet that I will not be going to the gym for more than 15 days this Feb. so it is useless for me to waste money on all those ADIDAS sportswear!!!!!!! And I am so determined to proove him wrong!!!!!

Wish me all the best guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I dont wanna loose this bet :D

Out of the sunrise :)

2007-01-18T15:52:00.000-08:00

First Day of work....

Which meant :

New stationery (People who know me personally know how much I love stationery )
New comp.... (I dont exactly know what is the size of the monitor of the comp I am working on, but it is huge. I have never worked on a bigger monitor than this before...Ma laptop screen has suddenly started looking so tiny :D )
New phone (I hate it...Why cant they have the CISCO phones?)
Lots of filling of forms to do (Sucks big time :( )
Team lunch....( Another new place...Totally impressed ma HR Head with ma expertise of how to use Chopsticks! *grin* )
Sexier Neha!! (Thats coz she just learnt abt the awesome awesome gym with which her co. has a tie up with )
Sad T Shirts and Cap, but free ka sab kuch chalta hai!
Information that we are going to Wonderla (an amusement park in Bangalore, supposedly, the largest in Asia, next weekend!!)

Enough of entertainment now....I better log out before ma seniors catches me surfing the net.. (though its not at all a crime), but at least lets try to give them a very dedicated, focused, disciplined outlook of Neha :D

Some movies I saw over the extended weekend were:

Little Nicky - Can there be another 'torturous' movie than this??? ADVICE - Try to be as far from this movie as possible, of course, unless and untill, u wanna test how much wits is remaining in ur brains at the end of this movie!!!!!!!!!
Little Miss Sunshine - I found it funny! Achint did not. Which means I better not go on and on ranting abt the movie. Dont ask why.

Some movies I attempted to watch over the extended weekend were:

A scanner darkly - It was wierd. I was drunk. The rest shall not be unfold. I know u all are smart.
Pirates Of Caribbean - Achint could not stand it. I had already seen the movie. 30 minutes into the movie and the DVD was changed.

And dont forget to wish me ALL THE BEST for ma new job:)

Steps taken..........

2007-01-08T11:16:00.000-08:00

Farewell

When bro n mum came down to B'lore :)

Ma pathetic office :( But some good people :)

After one of the university exams, chilling at a mallu restaurent, called Kairali :)

Chandani Chowk! Me and Vinci :)

After Chandani Chowk. Going for a drive on bike. Me & VInci and Rejoice & Jean :)

PVR Cinemas. Waiting for Rang de Basanti to start..........

That was 2006.......Many Many more memories than captured by the camera.......

No resolutions for 2007. I never make resolutions. But 2007 has come with a new job for me.
Also, 2 things I desperately wanna do this yr are:

Get some ink on ma lower back
Learn some instrument

Have some awesome designs in mind for ma lower back...if u too have, then share it with me na...
Cant decide which instrument to learn. Its going to be either violin, acoustic guitar or a synth...Violin, I have heard is quite difficult to learn...Acoustic guitar seems to be a good idea as I can then practise with Achint, coz he playz both Acoustic and electric..Synth is too expensive for me right now...maybe later....

Lemme know what ya'll think abut it ok?

You can have my job if you say please!!!

2006-12-28T02:58:00.001-08:00

8 months from today, I joined this company where I work. Dint know it might suck so much. Everyway. Salary. Boss. And most importantly, the environment. So I was on a job hunt and finally landed myself into another job. OK, boys and girls, for those who always confused themselves thinking that I work in a software company and for those who knew that I am not, lemme inform ya all that I too have become a member of the IT company employees club..hehe.....

So today I had to give ma papers to ma boss. And I was shit scared. OK, the last line is an understatement...Finally, after contemplating a lot as to what excuse to give and when to leave, coz I have to join the new company on 16th Jan, and getting scolded up by Achint big time to start using ma head and not to get frozen on being tensed, I gathered up all ma courage and went to ma sir's cabin, with ma typed resignation letter in hand. He asked me what am I hiding and asked, jovially, if it was ma resignation letter. And I gave him a puppy look and said yes. On being asked why, I told him (can u believe what the fuck did I bluttered out) that I am going to Canada, for SAP training!!!! Gosh!!!!!!I wonder why dint he ask me why are u going for SAP training to Canada and not Germany?? Anyways, he was kind of expecting it. God knows why and how!!!

Phew...thats done...Now I wanna go home before joining work. But he wants me to stay here for some time because we have some work on 11th and 15th jan. I feel like telling him that I wanna go home from 2nd to 9th as I have ma visa interview.......

Man!!!What a devil I am....and what lies...and what excuses...........great!!!!!!!!

I think I will ask ma boss to give me leave...Will let ya know what did he say!

Into the sunset

2006-12-14T05:53:00.001-08:00

Dunno why, but I am not the normal Neha since the last couple of weeks. I might look normal and all, but I am not. The truth is, I am sad, I am irritated, I am angry and I am mad about anything and everything around myself. Mind you! Not mad with specific people, but generally, things are making me irritable more often than not. I need a change. I need a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before I break myself. :(

Saw 'The Departed' the other night..I'm not going to do a review - better people can do and have done a better job of that - but I will give it my complete and unhesitating recommendation.

Today, Bangalore saw another history in the making.Ask how?By Neha going to office in the bus.Not a very comfortable, or pleasurable journey I must say, and will be definately avoided by me. It was also not by choice but by compulsion. The auto guys are on strike today. Assholes protesting against the hike in the amount of fines. I am saying that the fines should be doubled and more number of fines should be started. For eg:

Fine for saying no for going on hire (I know it is already there, but something should be done so that as soon as that fucker shakes his head to signal his disinterest in going to some place, the cops come to know and he is put under bars!)
Fine for driving rash
Fine for asking 1.5 even before 10 pm
Fine for asking double, triple during odd hours
Fine for not keeping change
Fine for not returning the change
Fine for pretending that these motherfuckers don't understand Hindi
Fine for not going to some place from the route we ask them to take.
Fine for being so rude!I think they are the rudest creatures God created!!!!
Fine for increasing their meter. I mean, hell, I know that from ma home to 'x' place it takes 'y' amount, but still his meter willl show double the fare!

The list is just endless!!!But the sad part is that we have to depend on them, and these bitches know that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At times I feel like gathering all these 1.5 lac auto guys and burning them live. Devil u might be tempted to call me, or already calling me, but people who live here in Bangalore and take autos as means of travelling know what it is like dealing with them!! I am seriously thinking of taking my own vehicle...lets c..

Bought an LG DVD for mum dad as Christmas gift. (Dont ask the model number and all. I dont know that. Ask Achint!) Will be giving it to ma cousin to give it to them. They will be most surprised to receive it :D But because of that generous act of mine, ma month's budjet has gone for a toss :( And Bangalore is expensive :( And mum dad are there to refill ma bank balance :D

But still I love Bangalore. Despite its traffic, cost, AUTO WALLAS....Muuaaah to u baby!

The Day The Congregation Was Awe Struck !!!

2006-12-06T20:51:00.000-08:00

This sunday our church witnessed history in the making! With Neha in the Choir, looking so fat in a borrowed Maroon Kurta, which was soo loose for me, the Church just came down.

OK...shut up...enough of self aplauding!!!

But, really, we all worked so hard...and the last 2 days were bad...not coz of us choir people...we had these people, the band of the church...we had people on drums, on keys, one on congo, one on electric guitar and the all important bass guitar...And man! It was so difficult synchronizing all of em with the choir...At a time, we just hated em, because, we thought that its coz of them, that the whole thing will collapse...the music was too loud even for us to hear our own voice :( Poor logistics people went crazy...checking, testing the mics and all......Mind you! We have a very state-of-the-art kind of modern church....have a projector, latest mics, Bose speakers and the works *smug smug *

Phew...finally....the D day came.........and everything went so well.....that was a surprise...

Though I am sure all of you wanna hear wat we sang, I will try uploading all the songs...not promising though ok?

Also, I know, that pics will be pointless here, but still uploading a few of them...

This is part of the Choir...I guess u cant see the Tenors ans the Basses (the men!) And the one in the corner, right hand corner, in maroon, is me :D

These are tha band members....(from left)..Sharon Moses(The Drummer)..dont know his name (plays the Congo)..Naomi (the Bass guitarist)..Abhishek (plays the Keys) & Shuchi (plays the Electric Guitar) ...

Now, I dont need people to say for this pic, as to what a horrible pic, cant see anything, bad camera, or worst, bad cameraman..This pic was taken while we were singing with the Church lights off and we all had a candle each...everyone in the church had a candle...and the church was looking amazing!!

For one song, we wanted the children's choir, so these little ladies helped us out!

This is after the singing celebrations!!!!!!!!

Cool no!What an effect!

Thats us with the candles :)

So that was the Sunday for you. Dont know how much u guys enjoyed, but for me, it was a total rejoicing time :)

Melodious notes of a soprano...

2006-11-24T02:24:00.001-08:00

I think that there is no place which can be termed as 'safe' anymore...No, I am not referring to the tons and tons of places having the hoax bomb scare, I am referring to any place where u can leave your belongings and leave for a little cup of coffee...And why am I writing all this?Coz last sunday, when I went to sing for the Thanks giving sunday, some asshole, took out 2500 rupees from ma wallet which was kept in ma bag, and ma bag was 'safely' kept on the front row of the church, which is reserved for the choir..And I had taken out Rs. 5000 early that morning itself...how can a person do this in church???That too on thanks giving day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anywyas, whats done is done. Just that I felt very bad about it that day. After all, 2500 is not a very small amount :( 5 500 rupee notes :( i was not supposed to take out money that morning. Just that Achint, all of a sudden, asked me, if I had any cash with me...and he asked this exactly when his bike came infront of the ATM. I, at that time felt so happy that he reminded me to draw cash at the right time!! Normally he does not take me to church from the route he took that day, but that particular day, and this stupid ATM had to come in front of ma eyes and I had to draw such a big amount just before going to church!!!!!!!!FUCK!!!!!!!!!The devil played his role!!!

I felt so bad that I felt like leaving the choir and not taking part in any church activities. But just could not detach myself from it...

Hah!!!Chuck........

On another note, don't you just hate it when people call you dear, or write dear in their SMSs...when someone calls me 'dear', I always think of some old lady calling me that!!!!!Irritating to the core :C

The Madonna In The Making..

2006-11-11T13:19:00.000-08:00

Last Sunday was that fateful day when I gathered all ma courage and asked Amutha, "Hi Amutha..This is Neha..I was...ahem..wondering..ahem..whether the choir practise is going on?"And..can i too join the Christmas Choir????"

I was fully prepared to hear,"Can we have a little audition here Neha?"

And for this was torturing Achint and Vincent by making them listen to ma singing for one whole week, not that they otherwise are deprived of ma melodious voice ;)

OK, so thats done. Instead of a request for an audition she asked me :

Amutha : Have u ever sung in the Choir?

Neha : O yes!

Amutha : Good! When and where?

Now here I felt most silly to answer..

Neha : In ma school choir..

And since it seemed to kiddish, I added, which was a lie..

Neha : Church too!

Amutha : So u sing the higher notes or the lower?

Neha : A little higher..

Which was a total lie...coz I just dint know what note I sing!!!

Amutha : Cool! So u sing with the Sopranos!

And it was that day that i learnt that there r 4 notes of music: Altos, Sopranos, Tenors and Bass..

Thats it..have been practising since then, and I will be singing with the Choir for the thansgiving Sunday, which is tomorrow, and I am standing right in the middle!!

Lets c what will be the reaction of ma friends when they come to Church tomo and see me standing right in the middle and attempting to utter some melodious notes out of ma mouth..

The worst part was...We all were given sheets with music written on it and I just cant read music!!Fuck!!!!!!!!!But I am picking up :D

Wish me all the best!

Going to a Wedding Reception tonight, then Church tomorrow, followed by a Thanks Giving Sunday lunch at ma Uncles home. And he is very excited about he whole thing and will be preparing a Turkey!I dont like Turkey..Have never tasted it but the look of a Turkey is horrible...specially the flesh hanging from the lower part of its neck....yuck!!!!!!!!!Gobble Gobble :(

I know I know people..its been a REALLY long time!!!
Just saw that the last Posting published by me was on the 1st of this month...!!!!!
Ok..this posting is nothing, but some blabber, some crap and lots of non sensical things abt which, I am sure, you will not be bothered.

As Velu so rightly predicted, have been really busy latey! Office work combined with a lot of socializing made me look ever so hard working plus party-hard kind of a girl.

Oh yeah!! Achint has come back from Canada yesterday *grin* FINALLY!!!
But the sadder part is that his folks are also coming to Bangalore tomorrow :(
And I am leaving for Agra on Saturday :( :)
And I will be back only on the 8th...hmmm...

Last evening was pathetic. I am feeling so horrible about myself. I did something which I swore I will never do..OK people, dont ask me what was it, coz I am so fuckingly ashamed of myself!!

Now I am doing the tag given to me by Avinash a.k.a. Brute..To be honest, I actually did half of another tag, given by Mathew..but it required a lot of labor..u see...like searching for some pictures and all...Dont have much time right now, as I have to get out of the office and head home. Have tones of work to do. And I am so so hungry. Reached late to the office and the food was over. SO....

Ok now the TAG!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

T.A.G

I am thinking
about many things..like how to finish my Reports and then go tonight with Achint for the Dandiya Party!

I said
I am the hottest. So shut up and listen.

I want
An iPOD, another, sexier, sleeker laptop, another pair of LEVI's ultra low waisters, the gown I have been eyeing sine a week now, all the chocolates kept in Achint's Refridgerator(dunno the spelling OK?), ADIDAS floaters, to prolong this day, salary hike, Job at TESCO, a dining table in my Hall..........................................

I wish
There was not so much of Traffic in Bangalore, we could get movie tickets whenever we want, i wish..i wish..so wat??Does any one listen to me here?????huh!

I miss
Home made food, home(only at times when I recall what a princess life I used to lead), being with school, college friends..

I hear
The AC buzz and some heavy vehicle passing by, also Mr. Jairaj talking to someone on the phone..

I wonder
How, I wonder why, yesterday u told me about the blue blue sky, but all that I can see, is just another lemon tree.. :D

I regret
What I took last night! :((

I am
Neha Phillips, the great!

I dance
Everyday(well..almost!)

I sing
Everyday, everytime..

I cry
Quite a lot..Hope people dont feel I am a sissy (though most of the times I cry alone!)

I write
Policies for my company, reports and a little other things...for the rest..I type!

I confuse
People, animals and any other creature/ thing that can be confused :D

I need
Lots of money *evil grin*

I should
Finish this Tag quickly. I dont want Achint to wait for me.

I finish
This Tag. Thats it. Tones is yet left to be done.

I TAG:
DN
Ganesh
Rashmi
Sudeep
Rahul.

P.S.If the others are feeling very happy that you have been pardoned by not being tagged, dont feel so happy! I have many tags in ma kitty!
*muah*

Brains wanted...

2006-09-01T18:59:00.000-07:00

If you people got freaked out reading the Title, dont worry!!I have not become Neha - The Cannibal..not right now..also, me not studying to become a Doctor, so...
What I need a brain for, is for our dear Officials, The Government people...
If you checked out the newspapers since, lets say 15 days, very wierd posting...oops!not postings, articles had been doing the rounds! Like :

Vande Mataram being played at all schools along with the National Anthem..Also, I have come to know that some multiplexes in some cities, have been ordered to play the National Anthem...Hmmmm...Interesting..though how necessary...I dunno!

Kannada being made as the deciding factor for 10th grade and 12th grade students, who are the future of the already pathetic state of India's sports ! These students rely on the sports quota seats and points for admission to various colleges...common man! Only coz of language, you cannot have some discrepency!

Helmets rule has been postponed to another one month because of protests from the pillion riders...Hey! We have been protesting against many other important issues too...What about them? Just make the rule compulsory and people will follow them..What say people?

Stones as tears and Doctors wondering whether it is some kind of dual personality!! Give the poor lady a break!! Try treating her instead!

Ya, this is a new entry...Din't read it properly but apparently, there is some tree somewhere, which gives water! No comments!!

Yeah, how can i forget this one...the idol drinking milk..or something like this...

I have started thinking of not checking out the newspaper right in the morning! We require some kind of entertainment after office..these days the newspapers provide us with it. Totally!

On another subject....

Tried cooking Chinese last night.
So what did Neha do about it?
She went to the internet sites, downloaded recipe of Gobhi Manchurian and Egg Fried Rice...
She then spent 2 hours in the kitchen, trying to make something which might look like food...But gosh!!!
She does not know what was infront of her as a result of all the hard work...

Trapped home alone? Not me!!

2006-08-28T17:38:00.000-07:00

For those who dint know..I was down wid some sad fever since the past 5 days!!
That meant I did ...

a lot of sleeping (thats one thing I did the most!!)
stay at home and hogged
popped in tones of tablets and benadryls..
not watch a lot of movies..
not read books (because ma friends told me that it will strain me)
missed home
get a lot of pampering
get tones of SMSes asking me how am I...
listened to ma playlist "n" number of times...

I had made a playlist having some numbers for which I have developed a liking for over a period of 5 days!!
Some of the numbers of that playlist are:

Sheryl Crow - My fav mistake
Sheryl Crow - Pictures
Sheryl Crow - The first cut is the deepest
Mest - Drawing board
Type O Negetive - My girlfriend's girlfriend
REM - Everybody hurts
Moby - Bodyrock
KK - Pal
Elton John feat. Shania Twain - Something about the way you look tonight
Elton John - Sacrifice
Lobo - We belong together

And some more songs.....
Of these, Mest's Drawing Board is the song I have developed a love for!!Fuck!!!!!Its so nice....
Vaibhav introduced me to the song once!!!!! And I am not exxagerating this when I am saying, I must have heard this song 100 times since Wednesday!!

Also, recieved so much of pampering from ma flatmates, mum dad, friends...some of whom I will like to mention here...as an acknowledgement...Vincent, Puneet, Pradipta, Ajesh, Himani....these are some of the people whom I rem were actually worried abt ma health...Kudos to you all!! Love ya all...thanks mmmuuaaahhhh!!

Also, learnt that being at home and not doing anything once in a while is not such a bad thing after all!But....only once in a while!

Also learnt some of the things to do while you home alone..

Burn a lot of money by making stupid calls and SMSes (while u can do this for free being at work *grin*)
Make the neighbours go mad by playing your favourite songs at freaking volume (which otherwise u don't under some consideration for your poor flatmates)
Can stay in dark (which otherwise u dont get to do bec your flatmates might prefer more of light)
Roam around in the house with only your bare essentials (not even those if you prefer that!!)
Cook only that food which you love to eat. but avoid cooking:

a. as u don want to experiment using ur flatmates as bait
b. as you don wanna cook for the whole paltan and their boyfriends
c. use the butter and ghee and sugar and spices only for urself

Hmmmm...so thats it people! Thats what the "hot" Neha did during the last week...

Does she want this again!
Nah!!! Too bothersome!

U know its time for Neha to join a gym when..

2006-08-18T13:11:00.000-07:00

Her social life is going down to the drains..now when her coll friends have gone to various cities and her colleagues...*sigh*..well lets not talk about em...they are a different story..

Her sports wear are just piling up..All her fav Adidas bustiers, wrist bands, head bands, are just lying somewhere in the corner of her cupboard..

She goes to a party and watches all these half naked, toned bodied females and then compares with her waiste....fuck!!!!The fat has decided to settle there..damn!The diet has not worked..time for some action!

Achint is not in country and she feels the need to be somewhere after office!

She needs to flaunt the "I DON'T CARE A DAMN ABT U!" and "ME THE BEST. WHO DO U THINK U ARE TO COMPARE WITH ME?" attitude again!

She needs more pampering..she needs the Jacuzzi and Sauna! hah!!!

She needs to buy more Adidas and needs to give a really fake and silly reason to her friends.

Apart from these there are a few others, which I must keep to myself. A blog is for public reading. Right?

10 Rain Memories.

(these are at random...with no priorities in mind...anyways here in Bangalore, its raining almost everyday! hey look, its raining now too!)

15th July, 2006...the only time i just let maself free in the rains...not that i don like rains..i love em...but somehow i don like getting wet on the road!!
Me, Megha(cousin) and Sanjeev(cousin) just having a nice time in the rain..well this was some 15 16 years back!
10th standard! When rainy day was declared and I was not able to go to school, when I so wanted to, coz I had a crush at one of ma seniors and I so desperately wanted to see him. he he he..(I know there are tones of so in the sentence)
Last year, the Bangalore floods...when NJ dropped me and Sherlyn home.
Rain time....Dadu ke banaye hue pakore.
The only time I wore white, not knowing it will rain in the eve, and getting all drenched....so embarrasing!
The fight with Achint, who dropped me home and made me come to his home to apologize!!! That too in the rain! Such a meano!!!!
Praying to the rain Gods to save me from the torture of accounts tutions...this was when i was in 11th and 12th grade.
Oh fuck!! This is the saddest of all...coming home with a looser, my ex beau, and kissing him!
The long long drive with tones of friends..which ended with a couple each,supposedly in love , cuddled up in a car each...and me with ma girl friend, looking at all the cars with "what nonsense" look...

people if i go on like this, the tag will never end...so just read em and be contend.

Wheat : Eat me.

Me : But I am on a diet..

Mirror: Don’t lie, you had one whole bowl of icecream last night and that too with extra chocolate sauce on it!

Wheat: Is that true?

Me: No darling, it was just one night thingie babe…. just one night out of the whole week, you know how much I love ya,!!

Wheat: Ya that’s why you went to that ice cream…I know it is tempting, sultry, seducing enough, but how can you do this to me?? And to yourself too?? Don’t you have any conscience?

Tee: That’s true, the other night, I myself saw him with the Icecream in his hand.

Me: U keep your mouth shut!

Wheat: *crying*

Climbing the stairway to hell!

2006-06-23T13:15:00.000-07:00

The weekened started with me forcing myself to climb the stairs leading to my office at the 7th floor! Can u beat it?? 7th floor! The elevators were under repairs. For the very first time I was going to take this journey. And I din't even like the thought of it! For a moment, I felt like messaging ma boss and telling him' "Listen boss! I cant climb the godforsaken stairs!! The lift is not working. Its saturday. U anyways must be nicely cuddled up in the blanket! So continue being there! See u on monday!!"
But like a good employee, I started climbing the stairs. Never knew there are so many awesome food joints, almost at all the floors! So wat did Neha do?
Neha went to all the restaurents(spelling mistakes, if any, to be ignored!), which were closed(obviously! it was 8 45 in the morning) which looked damn neat, all of em, even checked out the price of the various dishes at the various joints, thought for not more than 5 seconds and came to a conclusion!
NICE PLACES. GOOD AMBIENCE! NICE VARIETY OF DISHES!U CAN ALWAYS, ANYTIME COME TO THESE PLACES FOR TAKING TREATS. NOT GIVING 'EM!!!
Anyways, coming back to the stairs..
I HATE CLIMBING STAIRS!
I HATE WHEN THE ELEVATORS / ESCALATORS ARE NOT WORKING
I HATE THE MAINTENANCE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO DO THE REPAIRING WORK WHEN WE NEED THE ELEVATORS THE MOST...WHY CANT THEY DO IT AT SOME HOUR WHEN PEOPLE ARE NOT IN A HURRY TO REACH OFFICE AND LOG IN!
I HATE CLIMBING STAIRS
I KNOW I AM A LAZY BUM..
I KNOW I AM PUTTING ON WEIGHT
BUT..
I HATE CLIMBING STAIRS!

The Day the Ass Kisser came!

2006-06-15T16:52:00.000-07:00

There is this stupis classmate of mine who, through campus placement, works in the same company. She was working in the factory till today. Not even a day since she has come to the corporate office and started acting like a whore! (not literally though!)
She got sweets for the boss and the others in the office!!! How crazy!! What is she trying to proove by doing all this???? But this is not what fumed me up!! She was given a project to do, about which she was not serious, as usual, know her right from the MBA days, and sir asked me to assist her in this. Today when we went to the boss to show him what we have done, she was behaving as if she has done all of it!! Slut!!! I did 90% of the work. If I would have left everything on her, it would have taken her an entire month for this work! And yes, there were some erros to be rectified, which is obvious if a person does the whole thing single handedly, she gave me the 'I TOLD U!' look!! How insane!!!!!!
I was so mad. I told her after we came from the boss's cabin, that listen D, its ur project, I was just assisting u, and it seems u do not like my intrusion in the project, so carry on with the work.
That's not the end of it!
Our office has 2 floors! So I went to the floor below mine to one of the bosses and asked whether she too wanna come. She tagged along. I did ma work, which lasted for 5 minutes and went back to ma floor. And that bitch stayed there, being friendly with the boss and all!!!!!
I mean I have been in the office since the day we joined. She came today itself and started behaving this way!
I felt like giving her one tight slap!
But..............
How can anyone be so bloody unnprofessional!!! When will she grow up!

Finally, last evening, we were able to watch the movie! *phew* Mum, Bro myself and Achint went for the movie.
Well all the while I was sitting in the theatre, all I was doing was comparing the movie with the book...and yes the judgement was passed by me....THE MOVIE MAKERS COULD NOT GIVE JUSTICE TO THE BOOK!!
But then it always happens....a book is always more detailed and engrossing and real than a movie! The movie was good..not great!! I expected too much out of it...which were useless expectations coz too many details could not, in any case be included.
Coming to the actors....
I dint really apprecitate Tom Hanks (who is one of ma fav actors) in the role of Langdon...I was expecting some body with a velvetty face, a lil harder look, darker, more hair on his head than what Tom is left with!anyways.......
Audrey Tautou was really really good....dunno whether it is her first movie or not, but whatever, I think she was better than Tom..And yes...I LOVED her haircut!! Me going for it now!
And Ian McKellen....I was expecting someone fat!! With a big tummy!! Dunno why!!! But that was what I had in mind when I was reading the book!
Silas, was toooo gooood!!
Overall, the movie is fine.
Not great!!
Quite entertaining though!

2006-06-12T16:42:00.000-07:00

Achint is going onsite!!
:-(
Why does he have to go?
It is so difficult when u become dependant on someone and that person goes away!!
At present he is supposed to get some stupid SAP training at Canada for a month but it might extend too!
I hate being without him!
:-(
None of ma friends too are in the city.
:-(
The next month is going to be one miserable one.

All the mad mad Hush around you

2006-06-05T16:58:00.000-07:00

For the past one week, whenever I went to ma boss's cabin, during lunch time and after, I always found him watching various episodes of WWF( WWE now). "He is crazy" I will think. "Old fucker! Wonder what excites a man of his age watching these maniacs pretending to fight!" Now me thinks "he watches the episodes to have a look at those big bosomed sluts! What else?"
I went back to ma laptop thinking about the same!! Ok, I have to confess. When I was a kid, I used to swear by WWF! Every evening was dedicated entirely(ok not entirely!!) for various episodes...at that time I knew the time, the episode names, the fights, the superstars and the divas as well! (though there were not many these so called divas as present). At that time we even had the trump cards ( the WWF cards), and whenever got the chance, me, ma cousin Ajit and ma bro, Arpit used to play!!
Some of the few stars I loved entirely were:

Triple H along with McMohan

The Edge

I loved Edge, not for his fights or his bod but coz of his entry theme which I listen to this day! I don rem the name of the song but its an awesome track. Many may find it noisy or some may find it cheezy, but I love it!

Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan was remembered for his strange attire, strange shades and his comic acts. As far as I remember, he used to loose most of his games but it was a pleasure having him in the ring!

The Rock

Aah The Rock! Ma fav! I always wanted him to win, though he used to loose a lot to Triple H. People I might be wrong but thats what i remember. Then he had this style vyle thing attached with him. Reaalllyyy idolized him. But now I hate watching his movies too! He is a really really sad actor!

Triple H

Then we had Triple H.. I was never sure whether i wanted him to win or to loose. Ya, if he used to fight Rock, then loved him being knocked down! And then he had his father in law, who was the owner or something like that of WWF. And his wife(don remeber her name, who though was a pure bitch, was pretty to look at)

Undertaker

The Undertaker was always a mystery to me. People said that he died 3 times. That means he has come from the fires of purgatory(there is nowhere else he could have gone otherwise) and still is on this planet! Great!

Now when I accidently cross theTen Sports Channel and see these horrible creatures pretending to fight, I can't but quickly move on to the next channel! How insane, I will think. Every thing is such a hoax! Every game is fixed!! And these so called divas!! How can they be categorised as divas???? They are so muscular, they are so loud! Yaaickkss!!!!

I hate hate hate watching WWF now. Thank God, I am over with it!

Sighs of relief!!

2006-06-04T22:05:00.000-07:00

Yes! After some 3 weeks I finally saw 2 movies..

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind - When I started the movie, I had no clues as to what is happening, I was just bombarding Achint with tones of questions, who is she , who is he, where have they come from , but they were showing this and now they are showing this, what the fuck!! and bla bla bla........ its only after giving a piece of patience(or rather impatience) to the movie that I finally got the concept!! OK! Now whether I liked the movie or not??? hmmm..... *thinking* liked it, not loved it... there are so many questions still I wanna know!! anyways...

The Usual Suspects - Again like the previous movie, I was bugging Achint with tones of questions!! But unlike the previous movie, I loved the movie. The end was mind blowing! And yes, I actually went back to the beginning of the movie to see whether I had missed some clues!!

Shit!! Never thought a quiz can bring out ma dark realities..but thats what I am.

You Have a Choleric Temperament

You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.
You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.

You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.
Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.
You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.

At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.
Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.
A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

What Temperment Are You?

So today was the last day of the college. The last class. The TQM class. And man!!! I am going to miss the college.....Time really flew..And everything has changed.
those staying up till late in the night, completing the case study or the assignment to be submitted the next day...
having very less or(as most of the times) no breakfast...
having food at the shiv sagar........
waiting for an auto and abusing every auto which turned down r request to take us to such a short distance as the next door college.......now who will make these morons understand that if don reach on time either we will be ridiculed big time by the prof or pay a fine of 50 bucks every class we bunked........
those late attendences........
taking a break of 15 min when we were told to come back in 10 min....
hogging samosas, puffs, chips, coffee from the kiosk.......
snatching the food of the poor creature who was trying to hide his tiffin from the eyes of the vultures....
sharing cigarettes...
so many crushes and proposals......
sudden ringing of cell phones in the class...........
waking up at 8 o clock to realize that we have a class at 8 30.......
late night messaging....
some fights and many misunderstandings............
struggling to pass........
tonnes of xeroxing to save the burden and cost of buying the text..........
mass bunking.........
going for movies before 1 o clock for just 50 rupees.....
freshers day.......
farewell........

But life moves and we too.

The last movie I saw was Batman Begins. Liked it. And Christian Bale is so hot!!!! When i started the movie, I din't quite like him. "His face is quite plain. Nothing special." I told Achint. Then as the movie progressed, and when he got shaved and dressed in all those awesome formals, man!! he was looking so FU@KABLE!!!!! He has this, phew, HOT bod!!!!

stop!stop it!stop imagining now Neha!!purvert!!!

Coming back to the movie..

Even the movie was a good one. And i needed to watch a movie which is not as slow as Schindler's list!!!

The Greatest Train Robbery - it was a nice typical 70s or 80s movie...but enjoyed none the less..

Pulp Fiction - well quite strangely, i dint like the movie while I was watching it...it started off well but somewhere in the middle i got bored as i thought that it is going too slow. but now while i m recalling the movie, i m having pleasant thoughts n views about it. the acting by john trivolta and samuel jackson is fantastic though, so is the witty humour.

Hey people..i know i know i know..long long time since ma last post..what to do people?last days of college life...that means, of course the having fun part is always there, but it also means that I have to finish ma assignments and above all the INTERNATIONAL PROJECT, and the all so useful DISSERTATION too. Well the best part of today is that, besides it being HOLI today which carries no meaning here at Bangalore, is that I HAVE FINISHED MY IB(international project). Aaahh!!! What a pain! But its over for the good. Have already spiral binded it and given it. And yes, think i dint tell ya all that we were supposed to WRITE it down. Can u believe it? Now who should tell that fucker(my prof.) that gone are the days when we used to write the projects. If we had to print it, it would have taken me not more than 2 hours to finish it. Damn. But its over.

Ok. Now the fun part. Well this weekend has been Hell lots of fun. Went with Achint and his office people to Fun World at Satyam's expense. Had a lot of fun..and then came home late and tired only to get up at 5 30 in the morning the next day coz me and ma gang, achint inclusive,were going to some place 40k from here. While going, the road was so bad, I started having a bum ache. But there was a 2k stretch some where between where we had the time of r life. Man these boys drive like crazy!! Are they not scared of driving so fast and that too with girls on the back seat?? And the best part..there was a turning we had to take which we missed coz all boys got their all so needed smooth road where we had, what do u call that, DRAG,among KARIZMA (driven by Jose, with simi at the back seat, PULSAR (driven by Kinger and Dileep at the back seat) and UNICORN (driven by Achint and me at the backseat).

As for the rest of the outng, have alook at the pics. They will tell u all.

2006-03-08T15:02:00.000-08:00

This is the book i last read. Liked it. Have also seen the movie. Unlike most of the movies where it is not able to capture most of the details, obviously, this was one of the very few exceptions. The movie is quite detailed. Tim Robbins did a wonderful acting in the movie. And i guess no one would have been a better take than Morgan Freeman for the role of Red. Loved them both.

Mind ur words, sir!!

Not that I am always looking for ways to define myself different from people here(I m a North Indian yaar!Its different out there!How can you people have these dosas n Idli Vada for breakfast??)...no thats not my point but some things put me off big time!!!

May be the reason is that since the time we opened r tiny lil eyes, n ears, we have been hearing things ACCEPTABLE as the social norms....whatever....here they are..

1.Pronouncing FOOD as FUD(as FOOT!!! how insane can that be??)

2.Calling BED as cot!(when i told ma friens that i want to buy a bed, they said u already have one!what i have is a sleepwell mattress, which i keep on the floor of ma bedroom, where i sleep!!! i cant understand how the fuck can it be passed for a bed??)

3.Laughing when i tell them i am not eating because i am observing lent!! those bastards say lent means not having non veg or something u like!! idiots! what they dont know is that lent is a period of fasting, and it does not mean that after breaking the fast, which i do after sunset, i hog like a dog!)

2 more holes.......

the list of food things that rock my world.
1. That thimble-sized dollop of nutty trufflely creme in which the hazelnut gooes, at the centre of a ferrero rocher. This is the optimum way to snort the stuff: nibble off the outer nut-choc layer. Take the wafer cups apart and collect creme in one cup. Pick hazelnut and eat. Leave the cup, with the creme, in a patch of sunlight for about 5 minutes. Scoop out with tongue. Heaven is the clogging up of all senses with chocolate.
NOTE: If you eat Rochers in one crunch, instead of taking it apart in layers like a normal person, you are sick and unfit to vote.
2. Exotica pizza from Pizza Hut with extra cheeze. Making topings with chicken, beef, lamb or anything that oink is unacceptable.
3. Cupcakes. All kinds of cupcakes. Some people call them Muffins. I have nothing against these people.
4. Dal Rice because there is no better cure for homesickness of the soul. Whether your home is an igloo or a walking distance away.
5. Kahal ki sabzi.
6. Death By Chocolate. I love the Corner House in totality.
7. Seenkh kebab. The only minced meat kebabs i like because they don't dilute the meatiness, while providing a moist flavourful experience every time. Jai Hind.
8. Guavas. this has been my favourite thing to eat while reading since always. A guava doesn't interrupt you with annoying pips or peels that must be peeled. A banana may be a better bookmark but a guava never got accused of unsolicited phallicness.
9. Biryani. I hate wasting a whole place on the list for this because really is there any need to state the fact?
10. Maggi noodles, masala flavour. There is a wonderful democracy, a factory-processed love about instant noodles. It's like being gently chuffed on the chin by a large peice of machinery.

Food is love. And love is sweet poison. So it all works out in the end.

Tell a child that you like the picture she has drawn for you and promptly you will be asked to review another three dozen that she will be scribbling at a volume that will put even disciplined artists to shame.

Now, tell a man (and of course, that is really the point of this post) that you like him in blue (like there are THAT many choices) and you will see, a display of all his blue shirts over the next few weeks. Or tell him, he has gorgeous eyes and he will use it rather shamelessly when you are yelling obscenities at him for being late for a date. Again. But most men, they will argue, don’t really care about that kind of stuff. Maybe they don’t.

But all men will agree that there is one thing that really matters to them.

Which is why a man, at some point, will ask you, after the umm event, with a glint in his eye, “Was that good”, “Yes,” you will say, sweetly and sufficiently demurely. And then he wants to know, how good, better than usual, would you like that again, like right now, can you really do doubles or triples, has it happened before, is it only me. Maybe not all questions at the same time, but at some point in the relationship. Now why would any woman, who loves the man she has just done loving want to burst his bubble and say, “No sweetie, you have done better, need improving in leg power”. Don’t ask and we won’t tell. Why do you think we claim we like cuddling so much. That way when the head is buried in your shoulder, we can just pretend we didn’t hear you.

We aren’t that complicated. Even though you all walk around complaining that we are. We have simple rules. Don’t rat on us to the boys. Don’t bitch about our girlfriends. Do not hit on our sisters and our best friends. If you hear us complaining about our mothers, don’t chime in. Treat our fathers with respect. Hold your ground with our boy friends. If you are asked if you like us in the outfit, when we are dressed to the nines and almost out the door, say yes, and stick to that version all evening. Also, don’t tell us we ask too many questions. (It just makes us ask more). Don’t evade. (It makes you look like a liar). Don’t lie. (We already know you that its more instinctual than planned). And for gods sake enough with the solution, we know how to fix our lives and our problems.

This does not mean that we are cynics or are jaded. It doesn’t mean that we are cold and calculating. It also doesn’t imply that we are mean and manipulative. We think you are special. We like you all, heck we even love a few of you. We would like it if you remembered that. But do not rain on our parade. Do not wonder why we found that one kiss the most special. It is because we were fighting. And we both said mean, hurtful things to each other. And then we kissed and made up. And it was special. And sweet. And then we told you later that it was special. And sweet. Now don’t fuck with that bit of information. That is us revealing our private side. The side we hardly reveal to anyone. We don’t mind that you don’t remember. We are happy that we have you in our lives. And that day we were afraid that we might have lost that. And now that you are still here, we love it, and oh yeah, we love you too.

Good news should never be conveyed in minute capsules....it's hard to wait for the next one, particularly when you know there is more to come.

UB 40 - I cant help falling in love with you

Time Machine

2006-01-23T18:38:00.000-08:00

My earliest memory of a television is a black and white Dyanora that used to live in a wooden cabinet with shutters. Opening the shutters required an adult's intervention and I believe it is the best form of parental control ever. This was when I was about six years old. The TV used to live in my folks bedroom and on cold winter weekends, the families in Agra would bundle up in all their sweaters and shawls and walk through the fog to watch it. I still remember crying loudly when Amitabh Bachchan died at the end of Shakti and being pampered with Gold Spot (or was it ThumsUp) to shut up and stop making a scene. (But how could he just DIE like that??)

Other things I can remember are being afraid the power would go off just in time for Spiderman (as it always did) or waiting for Krishi Darshan to get over so that Chitrahaar could start on long Wednesday evenings. In fact I can remember a lot of things, but then this post would never end.

That set me thinking, that it would be great to know what everyone remembers or feels about those good old days. Nostalgia is always in fashion.

So here I am starting to write things you can remember about Doordarshan. I am not putting a number there because as I began to start my list I realised that 5 is too little. Below is my list:

1. Surabhi - The informative program. And it used to take us to far away lands, scenic, picturisque, lovely, made me dream to go there one day...the different people who featured there........

2. Malgudi Days - Taa Naa Naa Tana Nana Naaa - need I say more?

3. Street Hawk - This is Jesse Mach and ex-motorcycle cop, injured in the line of duty, now recruited by a top-secret government mission to ride Street Hawk... Man, that blew me away.

4. Ek se bhar kar ek - it started when doordarshan was dying..it was a movie songs countdown show.

5. The World This Week - Prannoy Roy, cool graphics, Tony Banks's music. International news was here...and how!! I used to wait for the Newsmakers section with bated breath.

6. The language movie on Sunday afternoon.

7. Mouse Mouse and gang.

That's my list, and I have left out a lot, and stuck to really old stuff. Chaddi pehan ke phool khila hai, Gul Gulshan Gulfaam and other stuff - I hope to find on other lists.

The setting on the time machine should be circa - 1983.

Cheers.

The Call

Somebody called me today to say sorry. He just called me and said sorry for hurting me. Now that call made me think. Think about the past. About the person and me. About our relationship. The November of 2004. The 28th. The breakup of, what I once thought, love.
But i m living in the present. I have moved on in life. And i dont think of him anymore.

LA Confidential-would not have liked or rather understood the movie, had achint not explained it to movie. poor guy was making him pause the movie so often to grasp it.

The Joys Of Christmas

2005-12-24T01:59:00.000-08:00

Nupur n Me:its the sangeet of her wedding happening

Yours truely

Ah, the festive season is upon us. Coloured lights and sparkling trees, enchanting children and grown ups alike. Close your eyes and you can feel the delicious anticipation wash over you, as shoppers shop and carolers fill the chilly air with song. With just days to go to Christmas, it's time for a moment of quiet reflection, to consider the most important aspects of this holiday and what makes it special:

Presents.

Specifically, presents for me. So let's get down to business. The following, in no particular order, is what I want:

1. A winning lottery ticket (hmm, maybe this list is in order after all). If I get this, every major problem that I have at the moment, from career issues to non-existent pension plans, would be sorted. Well OK, it won't actually stop my parents from pestering me to getting married and breed them a pair of mini-Nehas - but at least then I'd be able to send them on a cruise around the world. Over and over (and over) again. Come to think of it, with this ticket I can just buy the rest of this list myself.

2. A puppy. Seriously. A boxer pup would be nice, like the one in the Hutch commercials. They're cutest when they're young, so the plan is to keep it until it turns one year old, then um, get rid of it and get another one next Christmas! And if I keep giving them the same name, it would be like having a puppy that never grows up!

3. A penthouse. I've always been a citygirl at heart,but will like to have one at the outskirts of the city. People talk to being connected but I will want disconnection at least for some time.

4. A career. Please. I don't know what I want to do - or what I can do - but I need something that pays a helluva lot of money without involving a lot of work ;-)

5. A package consisting of bungee jumping, scuba diving, para gliding, skinny dipping, a trip to Milne Ice Shelf..........

6. Friends. Not that I dont have any...I have plenty, but I want those friends back in my life who once were...and those too who could have been but somehow i lost them.

7. A liposuction. Shut up.

Making His-Story

2005-12-23T00:18:00.000-08:00

England's first gay civil partnership ceremonies took place throughout the country today. A total of 687 couples got hitched, among them Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish.

As for civil partnerships... I'm still not quite sure how I feel about them. It's certainly a big step forward - gay couples now get all the legal rights and financial benefits that heterosexuals enjoy with marriage. That has to be a good thing.

Most importantly, it's recognition. Instead of 'sick' or 'unnatural' or plain 'wrong', it's acknowledging that when two men or two women choose to spend the rest of their lives together, it just might possibly be 'love'. You know, like what straight people have, only without the risk of babies.

As Justin Ryan and Colin McAllister (C-list celebrities in a relationship of two decades) put it, "A greater show of commitment is being with someone for 20 years... we don't need a ring to prove it."

Furthermore - and this is me playing devil's advocate - should the worst happen and you go your separate ways, it makes things even messier. A breakup is painful enough without the added burden of having to legally disengage yourself from your partner.

Again, maybe that's just me being a cynical bitch, eh?

Today's not the day for such talk.

Neha's Moving Day

2005-12-06T21:29:00.000-08:00

Now this posting has been pending since quite some time........
so here u go.......

Moving day’s been and gone, and despite all the planning and stressing it ended up being a pretty last-minute kind of affair - mainly because, you know, I’m a lazy git. So last-minute, in fact, that I was still looking for boxes the same day (“Stop the car! Stop the car! Two more by that pile of rubbish!”) and packing well into the late hours of the night.

One good thing about having boyfriends is that you can get them to do most of the heavy lifting when you move. As PV and I (the two delicate Oriental flowers) cleared the kitchen and tidied our respective rooms, SD and him (the two manly blokes) huffed and puffed, lugging most awkward boxes down to the car. It pays to be the pretty one in the relationship.

After about dunno how many hours of hard labour (mainly by the boys), the car was finally full. and the luggage was in the new house.

“Right,” he said. “Let’s order. I’m starving.”
“Where’s the house key?” asked PV.
“Which one?”
“The old house keys as the house has to be locked and the keys given back to the old landlord.”
“Oh, I’ve packed it.”

PV’s eyes goggled. His eyes goggled. SD's eyes goggled.

“The keys of the old house is in the new house in my purse.”

We all turned and went to the new house to get the old house keys!!

Whatta mess, huh? It was two whole days before we could even see the floor again. Even now, we’ve got boxes lying around and piled up on chairs and tables.

and one of my cosmetics box is -sob- still missing!!!

neha is happy for this.

Ok.
I am annoyed in the most wanton way possible. I sit in this laptop lab with the most unfriendly keys ever, in a city that I am painstakingly trying to like, and all this placement thing around me is making me mad! Fuck it man! Cant anyone give me a proper guidance as to what way should I adopt? What should I look for? I m loosing ma focus!
I can sense one giant sulk coming up. What will I do if I made a wrong decision for ma very first job? My disorientation is becoming most complete. Thank heavens they speak hindi here.

So annoyed.

I got up. I realized that the day has come come legs will make me travel home. Home. Place I cherish the most. My heaven. My family. My friends. My memories.
"Maa, mein diwali ki chuttiyon mein ghar aa rahi hun!"
Woh ghar ka khana...
Mom Dad ki pampering.......
That curling in the bed, n giggling, n recalling ur past wid ur chaddi friends, ur crushes, the crank calls, the blank calls...
"Aur bata..koi boy friend banaya ki nahi??"
"I m so glad babe, u are over wid that creep. He certainly dint deserve u!"
"Ah darling! i m so glad for u! That u still going strong with him."
"Grrrhh....MOM!"
"Nahin beta. fal val khaya karo....rang dekho! kitna utar gaya hai!"
Solemn faces soften into smiles, then laughter, then giggles.
