red red red!!

Today, the 19th of June, 2008 will always be a watershed in the life and times of the centre of my universe - me!

This day is about broken promises (dont get me started on how that happened!), scraped chins (sigh, details follow...) and red nail paint!! Yes, u red it right!

So the day starts late (thanks to the new fever bug that's painting the town red) which translated into taking an completely unscheduled off. Midway between noon and afternoon, yours truly ties to experiment with her looks - nothing wrong with them but they just happen to be the same everytime she looks in the mirror....well, before you know it, a fall on the very faithful pumice stone results in (u guessed it right), a scraped chin??? who on earth manages to do that!!!

so its Mr. Band-it to the rescue! Thank God for those...And though I honestly believe that it the second-most useful thing man ever created - right after the safety pins, still one of the chin???::bo ho ho::....but let me not digress here...so, there is band-aid on my once regular looking face...and a party to goto tonight! For a girl looking forward to a party, this is right up on top of that list of pre-party disasters...its much worse that the burnt outfit, broken heel yada yada yada - get my drift....

kya karein?

jana toh hai...plus its all in the mind:-(((

But thank God for distractions - so we decide to go paint the town red literally.. This involves a careful process of selection of nail colour, lip colour, and the works all with one single theme in mind - its RED!

Wish me luck, and please do pray for my poor chin which lies unattended, ignored, and morose in its banditised band-aid world...

endings and new beginnings

Wow- 4 years just flew by (well nearly 4 if u want 2 be technical about this!) and here i am again. dont knw hw 2 get started, not sure y i stopped but this one isnt about regrets but catching up. So rogue (cloakroom.blogspot.com), chez(cheshirememoirs.blogspot.com) and some old frens are no longer active - as far as i can google...but i have miles 2 go before i sleep and hopefully am back for keeps:-)

Lets start with what is new - social networking is the way to be...facebook is the new God and orkut, the old demigod. Bush is headed out - finally! Oil is nearly $140/bbl or has it touched a new peak in the last 3 hours???? sex and the city is now a movie, "serious" cricket is 20 overs looooong, Kareena is the new face of bollyglam and one can no longer use a yahoo account to log into this place!!!

However, some things never change - AB baby is still hot (check out the direct camera se ankh milana in Sarkar Raj if you dont believe me), India still swears by cricket - albeit in a newer avatar, and the US still swears againt Iraq - remember the "we will smoke dem out"....!

and most importantly, in the cosmic scale of things we are still a dot!!

Which brings us to fundamental irony - we dont count as far as the universe goes, but yet we are all about "I my me mine ours us" - in short we are the center of our own universe! this is point blank scary - its like saying that whatever you do, whatever you say doesnt count and yet in our delusional reality, we seem to matter - a lot!

which is probably one reason y i am back on this ego trip - thinking it counts:D
