TLS has decided to interview ME!

1. Walking Contradiction?
   the dichotomy that is me...aceept that there is duality enjoy both sides
   
2. Why do you blog now? Any objective change from the time you started? What do you love most about blogging? well the blog started as a place to vent...ventilation is theraputic...it also gave me a chance to do what i love best...play with words...freedom of speech and all that jazz, it continus to be all that and "What started off as a space, to vent
   Quickly became a tool to evoke, annoy and amplify Sentiment"
3. India or abroad(where)? Why? India (Bombay)...I just can't manage to live long enough anywhere else
4. Genesis or Darwin? both...duality right...genisis is a story book way of explaining what darwin had to say.
5. There can be a stigma associated with going to a psychologist right? How can you help erase that? I'd like to think that is changing...it will soon be made mandatory to get a psych evaluation as it now is to get a physical one...hence there will be no stigma as everybody will be doing t...I think as medical technology makes leaps and bounds in the physical realm and all round physical welness increases, our "shadow" will be manifested more and more in emotionally related physically illnesses rather than purely physically ones.
6. If you had a tough client and you vent it in your blog and he happens to read.. Good or bad? I don't vent about clients...at least I don't think i have...it would always be confidential anyway even on here, it wouldn't be recognizable
   
7. If you were made mayor of your city for a week what would you do? the mayor has no real power....on a really flippant note, i'd throw a week long party at the mayoral bungalow...
8. What thought runs through you mind the most? depends what i'm obsessing about at the current moment
9. You fear? LOSS
10. Right now you'd rather be doing? I'd rather be sleeping...but I don't mind this...
11. Somethings that money cant buy? My Love...cliched...but true...
12. One day in history you would wanna be witness to? Nehru's speech at the dawn of Independence...or Martin Luther's...
13. Whats the last funny thing you heard? something he said last night...but that's private!
    

The downside to my profession
is that people automatically assume
I'm "reading their minds" "figuring out their personalities"
and basically know everythig about what's going on in their heads
right....
NOT!
WRONG...those would be the "psychics" not the "psychologists"
if I had a dinar for every time this happened to me
lets just say I'd be in zara a lot more...
worse still they take it upon themsleves
to mention some arbit- weird part of their personality
which really should not see the light of day
or in this case the expression of the Ego
but NO! once more
they have to go on and on and on
thing is I think he might have a point
I do listen to the people who pay me
(better than most people)
and I'm certainly not interested in
listening to some dull boy convince me
that he has the "gift" of second sight
"I don't know how" he says puffing himself to full height
"but...(dramatic pause)....I can see the future"
"and whatever i see is goign to happen next really happens"
byt his time I was exceedingly bored so ignoring the fact
that I had to be polite I said in my most charming voice, "so what do you think is goign to happen next?"
the question was rhetorical I said, for I know what's going to happen next
we're (my mother and me (my mother who unleashed this idiot on me) gonna
go ahead and get some pani puri
BYE! (I waved and everything...)

Sooooooooo afyer a sucky flight
and constant bickering by parents
muggy muggy weather
et al...
I am officially back
except I cannot eat or sleep
this morning I watched the rain pour down
and stared at my mini oregano crossiant
stuffed with pihladelphia cream cheese
and couldn't take a bite
sigh
managed to eat it 2hrs later....

one's having dreams of things that may never be
one's figuring out if he still wants to be with me
the other one is watching from the sidelines silently
new lap tops or diamonds don't make it easy
piles of clothes, lovely shoes just distract briefly
from what's at hand...from my reality


on a more upbeat note...
I'm truly excited to go back
see I know what I want
to fall quietly into arms that love me

I chase a skein of nothingness down my arm, to my wrist
in my head a thousand thoughts turn
what do you know about discovering desire?
or the cessation of it
in thinking of the "how we could", "if he would"
and in dealing with my own demons
Finally,
I want to be loved only for being me
fiscally imprudent

fat arm and thighs a bit of a belly

My father's mad at this blog

Love should plunge you head first

kidding eachother for what it's worth
like salve, balm for hidden hurt

Myth:
Cocaine improves sexual desire and performance
Fact:
Increased sexual desire immediately after taking the drug often leads to unsafe sex. This puts you at risk of unplanned pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). You can get more information on STI’s at www.healthpromotion.ie
After prolonged use, men can find it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection. Both sexes may find it difficult to achieve orgasm...

THIS BLOG IS TEMPORARILY DISCONNECTED

Last night was posh chinese dinner at the tres chic THAI-CHI
avec parents
first off the name is so very clever!!
this was a spontaneous dinner decision
so when I walked into the plush interiors
for a smidge of a second I rethought my outfit
the restaurant is not very alrge
two levels, but they've used space wisely
curves meet angles, as the decor stays minimal
but is dressed up by royal tones of wine and tofu colored heavy curtains
immaculate cutlery
odd shell-shaped plates
and exquisite chop-sticks dark wood, marble on top
decorated with bits of mother of pearl!!!
I couldn't wait for the food
we started with the baby sharks finn n crab soup
which was divine
(its a family favourite i've been drinking it since I was 3!!)
They had a dimsum festival on
(what is with restaurants and "festivals"!!!)
so we had the prawn and chicken siu mai basket
which surprisingly was stuffed with BOTH! chicken and prawn
not two kinds of siu mai!!
they looked gorgeous topped with timoko roe
I love timoko, the way they feel on my tongue
the crunch they make when I bite them
and their flavor of course
the main course was sizzled prawns in sour chinese vinegar
with shitake mushrooms...
sauted lamb with chineese greens in a black bean sauce
and the thai-chi supreme fried rice
with bits of roast peiking duck, prawns, chicken, lamb
topped with more timoko...
washed down with green apple-lemonade with mint
and a tapioca pudding with coconut cream for dessert
YUM!

And in other news....the new manicure

look no tippex

I haven't reached a verdict on so called "chick-lit"
Candice Burnshell and Helen Fielding, being the only authors I've read
my taste in books meander more than my taste in music
my summer reading includes women who run with wolves- exploring the wild woman archetype and the call of the mall both non fiction...but I enjoy the occasional pot-boiler
so when I was handed a bright pink two's company three's a calamity,I didn't decline
however 5 pages into the book and I know why they're calling it "chick-lit"
its a mill-n-boon's with a feminist tinge, that being solely its continual male bashing
i flipped a few pages, yes more male bashing
a chapter or two into the perfect married couple's perfect marriage being wrecked by the perfectly turned out red-headed journalist back stabbing the wife who brought her into the picture in the first place and I'm like WTF I have to hand it to the author the scenario's are very "this can happen to you"and the character's emotions are very contagious
seated in the school van returning, the teacher next to me says, oh this one...whenever I read books by this author I fight with my husband...
I went home and read some more...unable to continue I couldn't push out of my head the parallels with balaji telefilms TV shows...its catering to a generation of house bound women,
who drink up the dressed up to the nines, crore spending women figures and their I will take over the company babuji don't worry dialogues, and dream of satya paul sarees and tulsi-like bahu's
emotions are very contagious, and a lot of people are capitalising on this....whetehr books tv or movies, jumping off the screen or off a page
we have to ask oursleves...
if I'm snapping at him now, is it because I'm mad at jack for dumping cass?

ITS MY PARTY AND I"LL CRY IF I WANT TO

oh but its not...so...the morning after ....

well last night was izzie's surprise party... my wingman was late at work n I was flying solo sans funny, chetz was supposed to be my man friday, but oh I had to fend off the bees to honey till he showed...and when he showed...surprise surprise (no not the birthday surprise) his friend con-man, on being introduced says (much to my horror) oh the one who owns that site...I almost fell over...suddenly the cool suave chris was taken aback, I know people read the site, i know my friends read it...and theres an underlying rule you NEVER TALK ABOUT THE SITE IN PUBILC....all site discussions happen over the phone....all debates or criticism (yes, yes the site gets its share of criticism) is behind the scenes...on here the show must go on...so yes I will be candid, for the first time i did feel like how he's been telling me I would ...naykid..."Stripping one self naked mentally in full view of the public"....but i QUICKLY RECOVERED and had a good time, the site reader and his brother were pat of the new upcoming breed of smartasses, whose humour is only based on poking fun at others, i was mising funny so I laughed nevertheless...and they were my shield from the buzzing bees...one particular one clad the the hawaiian shack uniform shirt and army pants, was certainly being forward with his hands setling more than once on my hapless shoulder, I was rescued by an unknowing "con-man"who chose that particular moment to ask what sort of name is "daykin", giivng me the opportunity to say,

"its a lovely name, my boyfriend's name"

as requested....this is how i look when i wake up

THE CURLS ARE BACK!!!!!!

MY TOP FOUR FAVOURITE POSTS FROM BOYS....

1) Does absence make the heart grow fonder

Or familiarity breed contempt?

Some say the universe runs parallel

I'd like to believe its completely bent

That way, no matter how far our lives are from the start

Our hearts are never more than a sub atomic particle apart.....

.

.

.

2) I'm not a poet I cannot compete so I leave the job to Yeats,

"How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars"

.
.
.

3) Your shadow consumes you

and she is light

too twisted

for the unfurling

of her free spirit

you're earth bound

she: heaven soaring

.
.
.

4) Do You Imagine

Do you imagine that fate

Will knock on your door

Bringing to you the man

Who you are looking for?

A man who would read your mind

And read what you write

Would talk and dream with you

Until late in the night?

Will fill your voids

With love and light

Would answer your prayers

Making everything feel right?

Can it be that in this way

We are also the same

Is your love a wild animal

That wants to be tamed?

My paths are now restricted

A son to whom I will be true

Although if I were much younger

I would satisfy my curiosity about you.

But I will tell you the truthAnd please don’t forget

Wait until you find that someone

Or else you will regret.

I also was young once

As you can see in this photo

If you see me in your next life

I hope you will say hello.

So now get back to work

You may write if you want

But regardless I will hope

That you find what you hunt.

Hoping that you will find happiness soon and that itwill last forever,D

welcome reader from Australia

Just when I thought I was missing first rains in Bombay
the desert decided to give me a break and the rain came pouring down
taking "the last signs"advice we headed out for a long drive past the shore road
it was lovely, I spent the entire drive with my face plastered to the glass
watching lightining streak across the sky
as the rain let up we stopped off at this charming fruit store for lebanese fruit
we were greeted by a gorgeous specimen of the male species
straining out of his white t-shirt, he was mopping a puddle by the door
when I stepped in complete with blow dry and red wedge
do you have any clementines I said
as dad headed for the cherries and mom the brocoli
he stared expressionless
now I know arabs well enough to recognize when i'm drawing a blank
but he had said hello
so this was certainly not a language thing
clementines I said again, younnoh tiny orange things
yes yes clementines he said finally after an extended pause
not now he said
not now? as in? not now on the shelf
not in season piped up dad
ahhhh I said
shaking my head
I love clementines
sorry he said shaking his head, looking like he was offering condolence
weird I said in my head and followed mum towards the back of the store
weird hottie went behind the counter
this store was intriguing it had all these enticing jars, stone and glass
rustic and exciting, it reminded me of the mistress of spices store
what's this I asked pointing to a cool looking jar
weird one said nothing, its a pickle said his partner after an eternity and shot him what can only be interpreted as an annoyed glance...dad placed the fruit trays on the counter
what's this? and this? and this?
(I was like a kid in a candy store..i do love interesting jars)
weird one looked kinda helplessly around
he watched me closely as he rung up our purchases
I spotted a coffee machine
oh can i have a cup of coffee too please, I said
er...er...stuttered weird boy
is your machine working I said the impatience showing in my voice
I don't think they're sellign coffee said dad
yes..he said nervously, no? I said?
capuchino he said finally
yes one capuchino is fine I said (I was very puzzled by his behaviour)
ahmed, wahid capuchino, he called out to the partner who was now obscured by the machine
' tea"he said
no" i said "coffee"
latte he said?
no! cappuchino, I said
he means do your parents want anythign
said ahmed (the partner)
the impatience in HIS voice clearly showed
oh no no I said nothing just the capuchino
an american who had walked in raised his eyebrow
how much asked dad finally,
ten kd he said
with the brocoli? asked dad
mum had added it a little late
yes he replied
and the coffee? asked dad
yes, no,
what? said dad
long pause...
coffee is free he said looking sheepishly at me
dad handed him a ten kd note, he kept looking at me
I flashed him my smile, and said thank you
he smiled back opened the register and handed dad a ten kd note
dad took it put it in his purse and pasued
looked at him and said did I give you a 20 or a 10?
weird one stared stupidly from dad to me
I saw a flash of green I said
I dunno don't ask me I said returning to the jars
twenty he said retuning the note back to dad
dad held it out still hesitating to out it in
no i think i just gave you ten said dad
Oh gawd! I said rolling my eyes
20 he insisted
dad shrugged his shoulders helplessly
look you gave us free coffee now you wnat to give us free fruit!! said an exasperated dad
he opened the register again, froze and flushed bright pink
the american stiffled a chuckle and ducked behind the bread
he shot me a glance and took the ten from dad
sorry he muttered
i thought I heard his partner groan
i took the coffee cup from him
thanks again i said my voice dripping with honey, as I walked out of the store
even before we reached the car dad began, CHRIS! he said annoyed'
what?!! I said what did I do
oh you know exactly what you did he said, drving off
he turned to mum, did you see what she did to that poor boy
poor boy! my ass
"hey I can't help it if he's never talked to a girl before" i said out loud
please chris, said dad, he talks to a lot of girls you think you're the first girl to buy fruit here?
well she's the first one to get free coffee, said mum
my mother is a wise woman
I tossed my blow dried hiar and nursed my free coffee
here's a pic

free coffee does taste sooooooooo good

I AM SO JEALOUS
