a return ticket on a night train from bombay...no father available on that particular date to pick up a daughter from the train station in the night....

if people are bulliable, is it alright to bully them? :)...[3 second contemplation]...i think so *evil smile*
traffic lights... the bane of my existence
oh how i hate prioritising ..
You gave explanations when none were asked for. In retrospect I believe you must have been hiding something and a guilty conscience is a difficult thing to live with.

everybody has their own little world, mine is just more lived in.
what you don't know can hurt you...be careful ....i'll accept that, i will be

Fatty and the Smokers

[A GUEST APPEARANCE ON THE BLOG- SID]

Ok. So I saw this documentary last week called 'Super Size Me' which is about fast food and the obesity epidemic in America. The documentarian spent a month existing on only a McDonald's diet and documents the social, physiological and amorous effects (vegan girlfriend freaked out) while showing McDonald's using every trick in the book to keep adults and children hooked onto its products. But the most interesting part of the movie for me is the documentarian describing a lunch he had with a few other people at a restaurant. One of the people at the table was lecturing the other, who was a smoker, on the evils of smoking and how he should quit right away. There was also an obese woman at the table who had a lot on her plate, quite literally. The documentarian basically said, "Obesity is the number two cause of unnatural death in the US now after smoking and is projected to overtake smoking as the number one cause in ten years. However, it's interesting that it is now socially acceptable to heckle a smoker in public even when they are not smoking, but not an obese person. At what point will it be socially acceptable to tell an obese person to stop eating so much and stop ravaging their bodies with heart and bone problems and burdening the healthcare system? When is it going to be socially acceptable to tell fatty to stop ordering that second portion of dessert?” I guess part of the argument for not doing so is that everyone needs to eat but they don't need to smoke. But c'mon girl..Have you seen some Americans lately? They're signing up to be stunt doubles for Free Willy. They so fat that by the time they roll over it's their b'day again. Kids in school so fat these days, they literally sit next to everyone in class. Case in point: the other day I was having lunch at a relatively upscale restaurant with a friend and the waitress, who didn't know either of us, started lecturing my friend on the evils of smoking when she found out he was a smoker. I'm just waiting for a fat person to heckle a smoker friend of mine when I'm around. Boy, is he or she going to get it.

the coffee boy

i went ot church last evening..what a thwarted attempt that was. i've finally decided that starting last sunday i've honed my my tolerance level well enough to stay awake during mass and listen to what the priest has to say. so prepared, i entered the right wing only to find the speakers words ricocheteing off the walls on my side of the church which only called for garbled sounds...
so anyway later everyone decided to go to a pub called zap..and i decided not to. i decided instead that i was going to have coffee and if gareth wanted to come along, he could :)...he didn't want to go anyplace in particular so he invited me home and offered to make coffee for me..how darling *roll eyes upward*
so we go to his place..i sit down, and he goes 'mom how do you make coffee?'
we ended up going to buy coffee powder, had a nice enough walk with sufficient conversation, I made coffee :D [which was very good,if i say so myself]and had myself a lazy sunday evening before going off home [before (his house)family prayers,whew]

the wedding

it's over :)

the roce

broken eggs,coconut milk and coconut oil.

expressions speak louder than a thousand words

..yesterday Joanne got married. at the reception law and i volunteered to be the donkey slaves who collected and arranged the presents,and as such got a clear view of the guests.while we were up there a man came on stage to wish the couple.he was bald and wore glasses i think...he didn't say a word. he just looked at Prashanth with the most indescribable expression on his face.as if it was a mixture of love and loss and happiness and pride ...more perhaps, as if he knew just that little bit more about life.he shook his hand handed him something and moved on.it's difficult for me to describe the feeling

the man is prashanths uncle.he is bald because of chemotherapy. i have seen few displays of emotion so poignantly potrayed.my eyes well up on recollection..

the song writer

...and you you're nothing like the rest
your sensitiveness is a bore
i wish we coincided more
but what is not, just isn't



you live your life the way you choose
try so hard to make it work
build your castles in the air
you'll make it someday, meet you there

a sense of contentment came over me last night..maybe because i laughed so much at work and the day was alright, didn't leave me cranky and tired. of course as i'm falling asleep with something close to a smile on my face, random memories unwittingly come; and my mind screams INDIGNATION, and i nearly cry. things past, things not forgotten..and today a brand new day :D with all my favourite music playing and a crackpot dog...and after today a break from work..good things ahead, like coffee and conversation...aaah
early last morning i had a nightmare....it was so..evil
i don't recall ever having a nightmare before.
'god be with me'

k
brandi boo gives the term CONSTANT ATTENTTION a whole new meaning!...i mean theres only so much ball throwing, stick throwing, chasing around the house..under the bed, 'look at me look at me! i've got a sock in my mouth now' that i can take....so i do the only thing that's left to do....'MAMMMAAA...!!' =D..i look at her and say..'HA now you've had it' * big evil smile*....like all beings living in this house, brandi pretty much does what mamma says....so some peace at last..for the time being at least......
