The curse has been lifted...

By
The same people who talked a lot about my life and made a big deal that I was not agreein to any proposal... and who drove my parents crazy with worry, by blatantly lookin upon me as though I was a curse to my family... the very same people, who almost made me break the 5th commandment, by perputually harping 'bout my attitude and giving me long winded lectures on how to not expect a dazzling knight on a unicorn... have suddenly turned wise and all proverby. They were spewing forth all divine proverbs about things occuring at the right time and God having a specific plan for everybody... funny, they did not realise this when they were ruining my peace with the parents. Guess there is more chance of me seeing a unicorn than of these folks .... ever changing. Anyway, told folks 'bout Tonio/Tony and this is what they had to say...

Mother (Sr. Magdalene): Ohhhh! He's got a Shakespearean name, I already like him! (yeah, gotta admit the name is nice...)
Shil: When is the wedding? Keep it in February...
Anju: Its your weddin... of course it is a big deal!!!
Naitra : Any Italian origin?
Abid: gud luck ma ..god will bless u
Nitya: Remember you are the smartest one... keep it that way.
Shil: When is the wedding? Keep it in February...
Jude: Good for you! (he genuinely meant it, though it sounded funny.)
Anyway, this is what another very nice friend of mine had to say

Joshua: I might get married this year too...
Me: WOW! You gettin married too!!!!!!!
Joshua: IF i get married, it will be this year....
Me: Why, what's wrong with next year?
Joshua: Then it will be with a different girl...

Spiderman: Make sure and then commit... find out everythin now... (he surprisingly made a lot of sense, guess all the swingin from web to web, gives him a lot of time to think.)
Saraswathi: I can't believe this!!! Its great!!! This is wonderful news !!!!!! I am vey happy and excited!!!! (and she really was!!! ;-) )
Zayeem: Karen's gettin married... wow!
Vidhya: What! How! When! Who!
Shil: When is the wedding? Keep it in February...
Megh's (my cousin in law school): How do you know whether you both are compatible? Will you be able to understand each other? Are you sure? Is this what you want? ( yeah, she will definitely make a good lawyer...)
Tina: Wow! This is so cool we are gettin married the same YEAR!!!
Sheena: Tell me EVERYTHIN in detail... from the beginnin to the end, don't leave out anything!!!
Jovan: whats his name... give some more info.. as of now all i know is that he's a man!!! nothing else.. so tell me more
Shil: When is the wedding? Keep it in February...
Shareen: Who's the lucky guy?
Michelle: Hey, you are gettin my surname...
Vibha: Yaar Congratulations....Hope you get all happiness of this world.
Abhishek: i m shocked...well cant write much m blank...
Shil: When is the wedding? Keep it in February...

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

I hope the world doesn't end in 2012, I have a whole lot of books to read...

By
I heard bout Flipkart.com from Anju and that site has changed my life. All the books that I have been searching for since centuries, are now sitting prettily on my book shelf. Landmark is a thing of the past now... in fact Landmark is not what it used to be anymore, they do not seem to have stock on most of the good books. So I am deliriously thankful to the creators of flipkart, I seriously love you guys... continue with your fabulous work. Talking of books, here are a few people who have enriched my life with their recommendations of the written word... My brother Manoj for buying the ' The Partner ' by John Grisham . Now I hadn't heard of Grisham before so the book was just lying there at home. One day I got bored and picked it up, that was the start of my love affair with Grisham and legal thrillers in general. This was the first John Grisham book I read and it was in a word mindblowing. I couldn't set the book down, my heart was racing away with Patrick Laniga...

Raining on a Sunday.....

By
Last Sunday was beautiful, it was pouring the entire day and we couldn't go out anywhere, though we did go to church, and came back soaking wet. We (Tonio, his cousins and me) decided to spend the evening baking a cake. This is the nut cake and the strawberry cake we baked. I was actually surprised the nut cake came out well, cause I made it without a recipe. I had to give it away to people though, cause Tonio doesn't like nuts and I didn't want to eat the whole thing and put on weight. I can't wait to go back home and start baking again for Christmas. P.S: The baking utensils I am using here were given to me by Judith Aunty for my wedding and I love them. On an unrelated note, I read this in the paper today. "Dhoni has reassured us that he is no Samson and that locks or no locks he can still plunder runs". He does look even more dashing with his new haircut.... doesn't he?
