My way on the highway

I have just finished packing my whole house and will be leaving to India tomorrow. I just realized that my whole life I've been riding on pure luck. I am so bloody irresponsible. Can you believe it that I packed all my important documents in my check in luggage???? Thank God I had this saviour in the form of aunty K. She just wanted to look at my stuff before I left. She was shocked. She was really sweet about the whole thing. She was like "You actually packed your originals in that??". Me:"YEs aunty the degree is too big to fit in my hand luggage" K aunty: "What happens if you loose your luggage?" ME:"Um..huh? That can happen(YEAH DUMB ASS)?" So now I'm in this deep introspective mood. I've done this many times before but I've not really learnt from these lessons. I hope I can change over a new leaf and become more responsible. If that does not happen I wish I have someone like K aunty, amma or someone else. This is all I can blo

I've just finished watching "pretty woman" for the zillionth time. I realized something after watching it, we're all the same at the base of everything. I mean women will always get all dewy eyed and want to have that perfect guy at the end of the day. Guys will never answer well when they're watching a match. Any guy! I mean just have a phone conversation with my dad when west indies and india play and it can be quite frustrating. I had similar experience when I was speaking to this other friend the other day. He said okay to everything I said. So my conclusion at the end of all this is that one just needs to look at the critical signs to find out about the person. I've graduated and things seem to be slowly falling into place. I will be going home. I cannot wait to hug my mom and sing along with my dad. Then of course I can't wait to see my sister. I can imagine us talking all night. Such fun! Gymkhana club, tennis, barista, driving down mount road, beac

I seem to be having a blast for the last couple of weeks and it just seems very surreal! One more weekend to add to the list of great weekends I've been having. This week I was at charlotte for my friend's graduation and boy did we have fun! Yesterday after the graduation ceremony we went to this real upmarket place for dinner. It was called "blue". I mean it was like "The Patio" of charlotte. For lack of better comparisons. Though I still think Patio is a shade better:) They had a jazz quartet which was playing along. I really loved it and they played some really nice songs. IT was nice to hear "killing me softly" after ages. I think there is some raw charm in good old strumming. It is so very mood uplifting. So anyway we had ordered Don perignon (250 $- OH HOLY MOTHER OF GOD). Then there were all sort of great starters and the head steward there obviously loved the sound of his own voice, so he was droning away to glory! The vegeterian food was q

  We sure have come a long from the time that was taken. We're almost like soul sisters. If there was one great thing about going to PSG it was meeting friends like you. Now that you're going to graduate and moving to the next phase of life I hope I'll be there to share your joys and sorrows. My dear "123" hope you get all that you deserve! Hope we'll be able to talk about all this to our kids and grandkids:) 

I have not really read any of the reviews. But I decided to have a girls day out out. So on the cards was shopping and a movie. My room mate agreed as her boy friend was out. Phew! Thank god for small mercies. One needs a good saturday especially after a depressing friday! So the movie was quite nice. It was a really racy movie. I love these action packed dhishum dhisum and sleek pictures. Tom cruise was just right. Even his girliness did not put me off. Those eyes looked just lovely this time. The gadgets and the guns were just okay and I don't think they were as good as the previous movies. STill there was some charm in the movie. I liked the execution. Especially the last scene at the shanghai towers. So fast and so good. Precision is the word that comes to my mind when I think of this movie. It all timed:) Plus Jonathan Rhys Meyers is hot. I loved his cute australian accent. Can't there be more indian men like this. Makes it so much easier for us girls:) I've seen him i

Why lord do I have to be so bothered about the way I speak? But I do. From time immemorial I've always wanted to speak really well. I was in the toastmasters club when I was in the 5th standard and then I would take part in all debates and oratorical things in school. I always wanted to be the best speaker. But life seldom works out like that. I just gave my final presentation today for one of the courses that I'm taking at school. I'm the only indian in class (err technically..there is another third generation indian american so can't count him) and there was a visible difference between the way they spoke and the way I did. The Americans delivered effortlessly and seemed more informal but I felt mine was more practised. I would like to come off as more informal but somehow that never happens. WHY LORD?? WHY?? Maybe I expect too much of myself because after the presentation my prof and TA said "good job". But somehow I was not so sure. I would like people to
