Hmmm....Two birthdays last week. As I had said it meant lots of good food! For Bhabhi's birthday, we had gone to Mahesh Lunch Home, since she likes fish and well the place is known for its sea food. Sadly that was one of the days my mood switch flipped suddenly, so I was not in a suitable frame of mind for anything. Pretty volatile actually. So I kept quiet most of the time. Not that it made a difference to the company we had, coz I barely talk around those people anyways, so careful am I to not offend them, shock them or generally scare them! Plus I can't think of stuff to say...so anyways it was a very OK evening. By the time we ate I was famished so I devoured what was on my plate. Was feeling wicked later, so I left a very wikkked comment on their suggestions slip! Muhahaha!
Amma's birthday was a different story. Things went smooth from morning - touchwood - and my mood stayed on an even keel. Merci Bon Dieu! We had like this very 'food' day - garam nashta (as I said last week, Sundays are for 'garam nashta') followed by lunch of chana-paratha-mishti dahi... For dinner we were confused about where to go. Finally settled for Baisakhi, since its close and we've received good reviews but never reached the place. Reached nice and early, and I was wearing one of my 'feel good about myself coz I know I look smashing in this' outfits...the food was heavenly! I don't remember the last time I enjoyed the food at a restaurant THIS much. Everything was simply delicious, and I think I overate. Can you imagine, I only ate chicken? Didn't even touch the subzi we had ordered! LOL!!
Bas....that's it for now. Now the next spate of birthdays come in Sept-Oct, but I shall miss most coz I will be in Germany by then...sigh...

Saturday Night...
Last night was nice. Tasneem and Aranyak were going to come to meet Schnapps and then we were to go out for dinner to Pop Tates...that changed slightly. They came over to meet Schnapps. After that we went to Aranyak's place. He had invited a bunch of his friends over...
So anyways Tasneem and I talked after ages. Miss those daily bus conversations we'd have on our way home from Alliance Francaise. Later once the others reached, we opened a few beers and a couple of bottles of wine...chips...and settled to watch one of two total TP movies. It was nice...chips moved over for dinner...and I kinda lost count of my refills of wine! Hehehe...but well it doesn't affect me the least bit. So far I've only ever gotten high after alot of drinks..never drunk. Anyways saw yet another movie after dinner...and got home by 1.30 am....to sleep like a kumbhkarani...after several days of poor sleep.
All in all - a fun evening spent in good company followed by a good night's sleep. Today is Amma's birthday. Gonna go out for dinner. But before that I have to finish reading Fanon...so that I can write out my draft for the presentation and do an excellent presentation day after tomm! Wish me luck...

An Interesting Blog
A friend asked me to visit his friend's blog. I did, and found it interesting...loved the style of writing..and found the content interesting. Take a Peek
Postcolonialism Et Al...
Its raining today. Pouring. But...my old man ain't snoring.
Actually a perfect morning for 'garam naashta' but I had my usual 'firang naashta' - know this sounds like really sad, considering the whole issue of colonisation, decolonisation, mimic men etc, but I doubt if I can ever give up my morning coffee followed by toast and eggs/tomatoes for parathas!! Parathas for lunch I dig, but breakfast spells toast, coffee eggs, tomatoes, maybe an occassional pancake or sausages. 'Garam naashta' is sunday breakfast! OK - I've got a screwed up logic...and I'm totally an 'angrez ki dum' - which is certified by the fact that I'm doing my Masters in English Lit, read Lit written in Eng, speak in Eng, think in Eng and well..let's just say that I'm one of those hybrid products of the post-colonial world.
Speaking of postcolonialism, we are doing postcolonial theory for our New Lit paper. And it is awesome. Ofcourse that's not to say other theories arent... but I find this extremely engrossing. I never really gave this much thought earlier, but since last year Dr.Bharucha and Dr.Veveina have brought to my attention this entirely new arena of theories and discourse. It's a vast field, and highly challenging. We've been doing the theorists for the past 3 weeks -Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, Frantz Fanon etc. Groovy stuff, if I may say so!! Infact I've volunteered to do a presentation this Tuesday on Frantz Fanon's "Wretched of the Earth" - Fanon was a Martinique born, psychiatrist who practiced in France. An activist in the Algerian war for Independance, he had Marxist leanings. His books are more of case studies, coming out of his 'real' experiences with the Blacks in France and Algeria and the colonial/postcolonial experiences of the colonised Blacks. Much easier to read than the meta-theorist Bhabha, who gave me a headache, and also profoundly moving and with a poetic quality.
Enough said on the subject...

Pensive...
Gah never been so bored...actually I have. Just that since yesterday the boredom is weighing down on me. It makes me think....think about decisions I've taken in my life. Obviously since I'm perfectly content with what I'm doing (that means academic decisons) I don't think about that. That aspect of my life is quite nice - runs on smoothly oiled wheels. I get what marks I deserve, I rarely hope for more than I've managed to get. That's a nice little package tied with a neat bow.
My personal life - social circle etc - is sure screwed up though. It's not like I don't have friends - I have a great bunch, who mean the world to me. They are the most important people in my life after my folks. They can turn my day around with one word - put a smile on my face that lasts all day, or several days sometimes...or wound me so that I hurt for months at end, with just a word. So important are they...but my great luck. Of them only one lives in Mumbai. And she too will leave next year. Kinda leaves me lonely. Coz I simply don't have the taste of relationships that don't have depth. I know it's sensible to have 'friends' in the sense of people you can hang out with, call up when you are bored etc... but I so completely lack at that skill. I actually freeze people out if I feel they are insincere...I can't be bothered with that kind of a fake relationship. Means I have high standards and once you've won my loyalty you could get away with murder with me (almost), but also translates into this very ultra boring social life and hours of boredom, pensive thoughts, and loneliness.
People tell me that I should be glad I have this neat organised life. That others have problems that are 'real' - I agree. My life is a cakewalk compared to millions. I don't need to complain for anything. But does that stop someone from wanting more? I'm not yet a saint....

Growing Up Is Hard To Do...
Sigh...c'est vrai! Noticed how life gets so complicated once you hit the twenties? So many decisions to make, so many confusions, so many relationships to judge - are you being taken for a ride or is the person sincere? Hmmm....c'est difficile et tres fatiguant!!

OLA!
Well lets see now...
15th August : Independence Day.
This year for the first time I missed flag hoisting coz I got up late and by the time I got ready it was all over! Very sad...went and said a little private hello to the flag later, but it wasn't enough! I felt quite bad also coz now they have the flag in the garden, where there's no breeze. Earlier the flag was on the building terrace and it would flutter proudly in the breeze! It looked grand specially since it was the only flag on the entire street! How times change...
In the evening we went for 3 Deewarein - I enjoyed it alot! Naseruddin Shah, Juhi Chawla and Nagesh Kukunoor were FAB! Jackie Shroff too was tolerable, despite the fact that I hate the man! Nagesh ofcourse is too cute to be true...I'd grab him anyday! LOL! The movie is really well made - a must see in my opinion.
Saturday - I had gone to town to BCL. Then I met Appu at the Institute - had lunch together before heading back home. She was here till night. Nice. Then went to meet Smita aunty and Girish uncle after ages. Nicer. Got home and had dinner with Suku. He came for dinner after 2 years. The Best.
Sunday - planning a lazy day. Might go out later...let's see.

Update
*Phew*
I'm like so tired these days. Like for the last one week, my ticker has been racing. It's really odd - normally this only happens when I've exerted myself too much or I have congestion. Wonder what's bothering that chunk of muscle so much that it acts up suddenly? I mean it's not like scary..just plain wierd. For a few minutes I feel uneasy and tired, then I'm OK! Mom's insisting on putting me on vitamins, coz she's worried I won't be 'healthy as a horse' while I'm in Germany! LOL! Guess I'll concede to her requests - makes sense anyways!
Aur to kya? Usual hum-drum life. Univ and back. Mansi is going back to Oman this week- Thursday to be exact. I'll miss her again. I spent time with her - but it wasn't enough. She had to meet other people, go out of town, sometimes I'd be busy with other things. So it wasn't enough. Guess now it never will be - the flipside of growing up!
*Sigh*
Lots of things on my mind these days. Jesus do I think alot. I must try and do something about this habit. I, like, analyse things right down to the core - not a very good thing for my sanity.
Hmm... that's it for now...more later. Tomorrow's Rakhi. But I'm not gonna be at home. Got important lectures and tomorrow is the longest day of the week. Will tie bhaiyya a rakhi and go to Univ, and go to Rakesh bhaiyya's place in the evening. Anyways he won't be home coz Rakhi ain't a bank holiday. Long day tomorrow...will keep me busy, out of trouble and thinking to the minimum! Muhahaha! :)

What Colour Am I?
Neutral:
Harmony and balance is key. You don't look at the
world in a negative or positive way and you'll
never judge or assume a situation- you just
look at the facts. People like you are peaceful
and accepting.

A Song That Touched Me The First Time I Heard It - It Still Does.
Everybody Hurts
When the day is long and the night , the night is yours alone ,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life , well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes .
Sometimes everything is wrong . Now it's time to sing along .
When your day is night alone , (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life , well hang on.
Everybody hurts . Take comfort in your friends .
Everybody hurts . Don't throw your hand . Oh, no. Don't throw your hand .
If you feel like you're alone , no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life , the days and nights are long ,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well , everybody hurts sometimes ,
everybody cries . And everybody hurts sometimes .
And everybody hurts sometimes . So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
(Everybody hurts . You are not alone .)

Total time pass this is...have nothing to do and loads of time on my hands...so killing it anyway I can. Picked this one up from A.Diddy (as always!)
MEN!!!
*See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.*
- Robin Williams
I completely agree! LOL!! Seriously men have a wonderful capacity of not using their brains and then saying that women over-analyse evertyhing right? My pals and I have come to the conclusion that it's simply not possible to understand them - irrespective of what age we manage to reach!
Heheh...I just found another funny quote that I must share:
*Man has will, but woman has her way.*
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
I like this man! Seems like he knows it's no use pitting heads against us! LOL!!!
That made me feel better...
But on a more serious note...why must they be so damn confusing? Grrrrrrr!!!

Too Tiddle Tum Ti Da Dum...
LOL!!
I've not gone mad or decided to turn into a musician or anything. Just happy, very happy. I didn't sleep well last night, so I should logically be grumpy as hell. Tossing around the whole night does that to me... but no! I'm like all sun-shiney happy!! Hehehe!! It's odd, the reason I'm so happy might lead to loads of confusion later on, but hell enjoy it while it lasts? Don't look a gift horse in its mouth? Why complicate life before it complicates itself - it needs no help from me that's for sure!! Haha! So happy I am for now...
Touchwood.
Beyond that, our little Schnappy is getting naughtier and more wicked by the day. Today early in the morning he ended up getting a beating for his mischief. That dog so desperately needs training. He's the most destructive and spoilt dog we've had! And he refuses to accept that he's like a kid and when he's scolded for his mischief he must show some regret - ulta humein daat padti hai Schnapps se usko daatne ke liye! LOL!

Weekend Talk
Woohoo...what a WIERD weekend!
Saturday was the supposedly BIG celebration dinner. It can never be really BIG with my SMALL circle of friends that I consider important enough to invite. So anyways from the guestlist of 4, 2 were out of town/busy. That boiled down to my usual two - Appu and Kunu!
So the three of us went to Noodle Bar - where we had this yummy dinner. Most satisfying meal in some time! But as far as conversation went - man was it a wierd eveg! First the music doesn't encourage conversation at the place...then thru-out one of us switched off at some point or the other and went absolutely blank on the other two, aggravating them! LOL! After dinner we debated over Town, Bandstand or just simply Mocha's. Then seeing the naka-bandi all over, coz of Saturday night + the recent bomb blasts scare, we decided to stick to Mocha. That was nice...kinda. We had this awesome dessert called Chocolate Avalanche Junior, which is this HUGE cup filled with chocolate mousse, fudge, cake and icecream..topped by a chocolate stick. GOD - that was heavenly. Yeah we did our blanking out there too...wierd threesome we are na?
On the way back home, we witnessed what seemed like a drunk man and his harem trying to convince him to take the man he'd run over to Cooper...absolutely not-happening and a bit scary! Sped away from THAT scene as fast as we could...
Sunday was ultra lazy. Appu left at noon, after which I lazed and slept. In the evening Tasneem came over to take her Alliance Francaise I-Card and we chatted about we will miss each other's company. Niveau III starts today... it is gonna be so wierd when I join in Jan and know no one - like starting all over again! Anyways I'm grown up enough to deal with that :)
Went for dinner to Dosa Diner - only to realise all of MARS restaurant's are shut down! ABSOLUTELY BIZARRE!! Anyways ended up at Only Parathas for one heavy meal! But yummy - cheese paratha, that's the way to heaven after chocolates!!
Today I'm bunking coz I've decided I MUST bunk. Everyone bunks, why not me? *Petulant look* Just wanted to stay home today and take a break. Plus we have only 1 decent lecture today. Enough reasons to bunk...don't you think?

Today I'm bunking coz I've decided I MUST bunk. Everyone bunks, why not me? *Petulant look* Just wanted to stay home today and take a break. Plus we have only 1 decent lecture today. Enough reasons to bunk...don't you think?
