post meeting slump...

A cacophony of voices
....arguing meaningless points
Another client meeting
.....the consultant stands by

That more or less sums up what i've been doing this evening.
Now 3 hours and 1 splitting headache later, i have totally forgotten what I was doing before the meeting...

bought memoirs of a geisha over the weekend. the whole world has probably read it by now...even the movie is long made and buried. better late than never

bought new box of brkfast cereal...which contains...of all things...coconut flakes...
what moment of madness made me buy it??? i do not like dried cocunut flakes...especially the sugar coated variety. and they taste really bad.
so maybe this wkend i will pick out all the offending pieces and make nariyal ki barfi with it.
or maybe not...am too lazy.

why do i have this false sense of euphoria that wkend is just round the corner....its only the second day of the week :(
for all the ppl reading this and not living in the middle east...its the second day of the week for me...and just Monday for u!!!
yayy
i feel so gud after rubbing this in ;))
how do u feel ?

taxis on weekends

finding taxis on a weekend. Oh dear Lord...
spent more than an hour y'day craning my neck and peering hopefully at cabs vroooming by.
more than the waiting...its the smug looks on the faces of those in the cab that bug me...
the..'i-already-found-a-cab-r-u-STILL-waiting-for-one??' look.
aarrgghhhh

everytime i go to a certain supermarket here, i wait for atleast 45 mins in a line for a cab. every single time. why r'nt there more cabs?? the need is certainly there for all to see!!
i must've been sleeping in economics class coz demand and supply certainly doesnt work the way i thought it shd....
autos in Hyd are an even better patience building activity....they actually ask u where u wanna go...and then shake their head in disgust like 'u wanna go there?? ugghhh...what bad choices!!'

bought a pack of water colors and a sketch book y'day. have no clue why...but feel a sudden urge to do something with colors. my art teacher tried his best to scrape a D for me in art in school...i was that bad at it. but now i want to play with water colors.
painted a table with a flowerpot on it. had funn...whooppeeee :)

Food musings

I had tandoori roti for lunch. the cold rubberised type. I cannot imagine why anyone wud want to eat something like this voluntarily. i dont like it...but others in the team do...so no choice...grin and tear it..

of course...i have choices ...for instance i can cook and save myself this trouble. but waking up predawn and cooking is sooo not my style.
is it healthy to cook for the week, freeze it and then reheat over the week?
i dunno...
thats what i do..but the guilt of stale food stabs me everytime i put the stuff in the microwave. adding to the agony of ....is microwave food really good for me??
i convince myself that my frozen food is healthier than the fresh oily hotel food.
there..my guilt has disappeared :) yay

am in gulf these days...and ramzan is starting this weekend. which means no tea cofee in office and maybe the rubber roti wala wont deliver lunch. cant eat in public in daytime.....oh well.....maybe i'll lose some weight.
am eternal optimist.

everyday me and my colleague try to bully each other to arrange for the evening fruit attack...its his turn today...but alas...i come back from a stroll in the corridors and he's escaped!! poof

first time!!

I am new to this blogging whingding.
but der aaye...durust aaye...

i have no idea why anyone wud want to scroll by my blog...but nevertheless...a short and totally uninformative introduction would be in order i guess.

caught the blog bug from some of my yembeeyay'ed friends who seem to be particularly attached to this form of whatzitcalled........
by now all may surmise...i am not part of the yembeeyay community.

figured blog wud be a great way to get all that daily ranting and musing done ....and put on paper....like the diary i have been planning to write all these yrs...but havent...coz too lazy to fill ink in fountain pens. Yup...thatz right...i dont like ball point pens. Dunno why...just dont.
Funny thing is....i hated it when they forced us to write with them in school....and now cant write with anything else.
anyways...now i type much faster than i write....so its gud.

ok...continuing with the intro....am a lil bit travelled nomad....first due to dad's job and now due to my job. anyways enjoys it....am number cruncher by profession...but have brain crunched by clients in job....yup its true...am a 'consultant'
yay

well thats all for today.
more tomorrow mebbee?
