memery lane
So, Monday evening saw us at Prithvi Theatre, jostling about in the khadi kurta crowd for prime position close to the entrance.hello, this is about my attempt at culture vultureing which i ish not so good at as i am at other vulturing - what to do i ish vulgar-vulture!!! prefer to gorge on dead & brewed tequila plants. To be strictly limiting culture-vulturing to yash raj movies - on which note I sawed Salaam Namaste and have to say ness wadia is a lucky lucky man, if perity zinta ever gets preggers we know what she will look like, quite slim and nice sexy looking overall other than platicy-looking pregnant bulge which is 5shades darker than rest of her - but its all becos one must not use fairness creams in pregnancy chemicals damaging to the unborn child!! And Saif in super-man boxers - super-cute!!
Other cute bits about the movie:
i. Kunal Vijaykar as the malyalee radio station honcho - so cute with the hambar - made me yearn for my egg rost & tapioca (yes, everything reminds me of food)
ii. The dialogs
iii. The hot kiss - finally a decent kiss in a hindi movie which does not look like they are aiming to chew the other person's lip off
iv. Hot fresh buttered corn - 3 cups heheheheheh
Not cute bits:
EVERYTHING ELSE!!!
This remincese is brought to you courtesy a meme by lulu that i play along with - here is what i am supposed to do:
1. delve into your blog archive.
2. find your 23rd post (or closest to).
3. find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4. post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.
5. tag five people to do the same.
But I only know
Rash, so well, do it baby if u wanna in between card sessions and playing hofficehoffice!!!
And now flirting!!!
The thing with me - I need to follow... yup!! thats me, never the one making the plans, just following - which works with myself also - ergo, when I need to get something done all by my lonesome-ownsome like you know working or working out i need some serious pressure - like a threat of air-freight (which would cut into that part of the profits i ear-mark for dangly earrings - which always gets eaten into by overtime or some such excuse given by the other directors at work - my MOM!! and i never get my danglers, sniff) or you know, getting fat.
I was on a double date (two-two girls) last saturday nite and i thought i was being exceptionally good by sticking to margaritas, since i read that the tequila plant leaves help weight loss and well, then the juice can also not be bad. My dates claim they eat like pigs but bloody only have ceaser slaad like they are bunnies or something - I was craving my carby risotto but followed and also ordered ceaser salad... with extra parmesan. so there!!!
And date no 1 said you need to get on a diet!! And I have been super-lazy ever since the OJ wedding, and sleeping in - the thing is my flirtation with weight training seems to have faded - it really has beena case of out-of-sight-out of-mind - my poor personal trainer... he calls and calls, and I'm always like dahling, it's over!!! I cant do it anymore, my heart is not in it and he is like but we were sooo good together. poor thing.
So, now i am flirting with the idea of some new exercise to hold my attention span - like power yoga or salsa... going to check out both this week so can start on something by the 1st of october.
Dating Again!!
I only had two boy-friends - one a total shit, which kind of made me really really appreciate the next one who for all the flopping about on a sofa and making what-he-thinks-are-adoring-faces while asking for seconds, can actually be quite a cutey!! which is sort of what made me be like, ok i will spend the rest of my life with you, provided you keep me in shoes forever and ever!!
So, I never really dated. Sad but true - however, dont cry for me, argentina because now I am dating again - only fully girl-on-girl action happeneing!!! It all started when the girls I have all moved away, two to NYC, my bestest to the capital and another bestest to juhu!!! shit - nobody to go grab a drink and talk about nothing with.... and I seriously miss that stuff. So, I started - the cultivation of the girlfriendship...
All chaperoned at first with premier girlfriend - but now I am being brave and going out with them all by myself, to Olive, to Zenzi, to Hawiin, to Ghetto - dude, I am just like all over the place!!! So far, there are no commitments and all the dates have ended with a promise of future dates without any definte dates which is good - takes the pressure off... but I realised girl-dating is soooo much more different - have to make sure glossy straightedned hair is in top form, shoes are not ragged (AS IF!!hehehe) clothes not repeated, whereas with a boy I would simply have to show up!!!! but its fun - can indulge in regular amount of alcoholism without the whole, oh will they think i am a slut bit tho!!!
Only thing missing is the no heavy petting bit - for that I have to come back home waaaaaah!!
My Best Friends Wedding - Part 3
what can i say - my enthusiasm for pix was stymied by the fact that
a) too much running around
b) bloody camera very bulky for a digi-cam and have to keep taking in and out of giant golden super-expensive-bag-bought-for-sole-purpose-of storing-camera-at-such-formal-indian-and kitschy-partee-functions-where-golden-bag-is-not-out-of-place.
Moral of story - not to be trusting me for pictorial evidence but being in there in person. sorry, girls!!!
but here is very nice one of me and The Josh, to be Mrs. Oberoi in like half hour and being so utterly gorgeous and brave and all swarowski-kaleereified about it, it almost made me cry!!!
ah, who am i kidding, i did!!! it was just beeeeeeooooootiful the wedding - will scrounge for pix and upload - hey, this is still the wedding of the year so pix are valid all the way till december
The Best Friend's wedding - Part 2

quite prolific I am today with all my postings, no??? ok the pix - you people i tell you, no interst in the life of the paparazzzzzzzzi, you just want the pix!!!! do you have any idea how many heads I had to go over to get the pix down here, I mean literally have 3 pix of Rana's head!!!

But The Josh wore the most gorgeous shimmery fresh green grass lehenga,
And again, Vikas as an accesoory - really I tell you!!!
And Rana and I are happy here, because to be notcing glass-in-hand and shroff is not happy because to be notcing no-glass-in-hand. Moral of story, ineer happiness is always brought on by inner alcohol!!!
And the beauty of Indian weddings is meeting people after ages, or the first time and you have such a blast, like meeting Prachi from Dallas and also Bindu's personal TRainer who is responsible for her awesome abs!!!
or something,.........i dont know there was alco..ho...l.

Monday Meme!!!
Monday Meme 17 : 2005-09-12 : Singing in the Rain
1. Do you like when it rains? Do you mind thunderstorms?
only if i'm indoors - or at Bombay Gym - it's wonderful to watch the rain on the green grass and feel all priviledged drinking TEa No 1 and loads of hot buttered toast... love thunderstorms as long as I dont have the whole my work stuff will get stuck worry....
2. What is your ideal climate or weather conditions to live in? Is that the climate where you live?
Ideal would be anywhere but where I live - its hot and humid aaaaaalll the time. I like Bangalore - its perfect...the cold is bearable, the heat is terribley dry but atleast you dont sweat and it hails, and you can dash out and have a little ice-ball fight!!! yip yip
3. What is the worst weather you've ever experienced?
Have to say thunderstorm tuesday recently, but once my flight to chicago got derailed due to a snow storm and my plane had to go to minneapolis cos it was running out of fuel and it had to take ME with it and it got there really late, so even the giant mall right right opposite the motel they put us up in was shut....and my flight out was at 5.30 in the morning... no silver shopping bag on that thundercloud
4. Do you watch or read the weather regularly? What source do you use (internet, local news, etc...)?
nooo, becos the meteorwalas are always always late in their predictions and then the cops send sms asking us to stay home, and that just means making lots of tea for husband...and pasta... and tea... and nookie (which is fun, so sometimes yea)
5. What is the one weather condition you could happily live without?
COLD!!!
I was the 175th person to take this week's Monday Meme!
