Some of my friends come up with the coolest stuff, when I least expect it :) Here is Darryl On what he thinks of Win XP
" all they really did was put everything in different places, if it were compared to plastic surgery, it would be like having a face lift, but finding your nose stuck away behind your ears and your lips pulled over your eyes"

Hey all...........:)
I've been cribbing about lack of time..........and the grind's not even begun yet !!!!!!!!!! But there's so many people I want to spend time with, family to visit, friends to hang out with and men to date :) besides spending time at home with mum and demi........:) and making sure I'm online with papa everynight...........aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
Well got a lucky break this week with Friday being a holiday, took advantage of the extra holiday to make some much over due visits, Noticed a freaky phenomenon everywhere I went I was FED FED FED...... First Visited My daadi and my cousins, the moment I entered the house, I was first examened from head to toe, comments were passed on every item of clothing and every accessory, while the maid quickly rolled out hot hot methi parathas with aam ka achar and srikhand just as my 3 hungry cousins strolled in, soaking wet from school, After the food was gobbled, and family matters discussed, I made a hasty exit, got home and went to Bobe's place, who immediately handed me a huge slice of chocolate cake that he had baked, had to eat it I mean Its CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!!! and then couldn't turn down an even larger second slice, tummy doing the abyss thing again....OH GAWD I'll never loose the holiday excesss baggage ....and wait...it gets worse, when I got home, mom was offended i turned down her offer of khichidi and fried chicken, so to avoid any confrotation about where my hunger had disappeared I left at around 3 ish to spend some time with my God-daughter Meagen in Bandra, on my arrival there....My aunt mary ann enquired as to whether I had eaten any lunch, she then proceeded to heat up Rajma chawal, which was soo yummy.......later we went for a walk to Bandstand, and it was just lovely, the sea was quite rough and the crashing waves sent a cool spray of water over all those present there, coz of meagen we got to sit in the tiny tots enclosure....which is a well kept green lawn, with springy grass, mini coconut trees, only kids and their accomanying adults are allowed, so it was just us and the watchman......and the sea...........aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh lovely..........all that salt sea air made us hungy and we headed to Candies. for some more....yes you guessed right FOOD, macaroni and cheese salad, butter chicken. paneer kathi roll, noodles....:)
ate and watched the amazing race.....then off to sleep :)
I think I'm living to eat.....rather than eating to live..............
quite a scary thought.

A TRIBUTE TO DAUGHTERS

Every home should have a daughter,
For theres nothing like a girl
To keep the world around her
In one continuous whirl.

From the moment she arrives on earth,
And on through womanhood
A daughter is a female
Who is seldom understood.

One minute she is laughing,
The next she starts to cry.
Men just cant understand her
And theres just no use to try.

She is soft and sweet and cuddly,
But she's also wise and smart;
She's a wondrous combination
Of a mind, brain and heart.

And even in her baby days
Shes a winner you bet
And anything she really wants,
She manages to get.

For even at a tender age
She uses all her wiles
And she can melt the hardest heart
With the sunshine of her smiles.

She starts out as a rosebud
With her beauty unrevealed,
Then through a happy childhood
Her petals are unsealed.

Shes soon a sweet girl graduate
And then a blushing bride
And then a lovely woman,
As the rosebud opens wide.

And some day in the future,
If it be Gods precious will,
She too will be a mother
And know that reverent thrill

That comes to every mother
Whose heart is filled with love.
When she beholds the angel
That God sent her from above

And there would be no life at all
In this world or the other
Without a darling daughter
Who in turn becomes a mother

NICE HUH..........:)

Yesterday was marathon card playing evening..............which is incomplete without snacking..........so out came all the junk food in the house........which in Kuwait is a lot of junk food, Three different kinds of chips, Roasted nuts, Smoked Cheese, juice, chocolate milk.........followed by post card playing junk dinner.......parents provided huge French bread, and we had fried sausages, and steak...........:) OMG the abyss is fully functional............which brings me to the matter of my life in Kuwait revolving around food. In fact life in general, here, revolves around eating, being an Islamic country entertainment is frowned upon, but due to the American influence there is some sort of entertainment infrastructure laid out.......but not in the club/pub/disc sense.........more in the theme park, mall et al.... sense......all activities have been clubbed with food..... Go to the movies, and the snack counter has more than the usual snack fare, popcorn of hazzar varieties, nachos with your choice of sauce, boiled corn with butter, pastries, hot dogs, and goodness knows what else........I never associated Bowling with eating........however as we sat down at our lane terminal....a waiter strolled up asking if we'd like anything to go with our session.......!!!!!!!!!!
At the Health club where people are supposed to be NOT eating.........the hip thing is apples, juice and coffee (and ciggies, which are quite contrary to my ideas of health)...........even at the gym I see food.........Lisa confirms my thoughts on the subject, here’s what she has to say, "In Kuwait, all we do is eat, you're happy- you eat, you're sad -you eat, you go out- you eat, you stay home- you eat, you shop -you eat, you skate- you eat, you eat and you eat and you eat, you bloat up to 4 sizes bigger and you're still eating"
ah...........such eloquence need I say more??????????
BTW Dinner with Uncle from Canada tonight :S lol!!!!
