mobile machinations

weekend today!!
yayyyy

which means total disregard of time of day concepts..wake up at 10, brkfast at 12 and snunch (snaks + lunch) at 4.
i just love the whole concept of not doing stuff at the 'right time'.

had yummm matar patis for brunch...be nice to me and i might give u the recipe.

have been having amazing amounts of fun over the last week ....by doing a simple act of omission. We had a mobile fone...whose subscription ran out...and since i am a stingy, pennypinching miser, didnt renew it.
but it has been so worth it.
its amazing...what a single sentence like 'i dont have a mobile phone' does to people.
sample these:
"what do u mean you dont have a mobile?? heheh...am sure u just dont want to give me the number"
...well yes...that was one of the selling points.
"What???? no mobile?? then how am i supposed to contact you after office hours?
....dont...
"but why yaar?? why u didnt renew? u shd renew na? i mean...how can u not have a mobile?"
...its not a body part i was supplied with ...alas

if i knew i cud irritate so many ppl like this...i wud have done it long ago.

am going hoooome next week.
yayyyyy
the excitement of getting out of desert and back to home country is making me walk around with a big stupid grin on my face.
enough to make me forget that i gotta work for an entire week before 'happy days are here again'
i cant help it
and i cannottttt wait!!! :)

Long time since last post.

I could blame work....which i certainly had lots of...but its more due to laziness really :)

the weekend was good. had lots of yumm self cooking. finished the geisha book. good read....diff subject...although i felt the last part of it was quite rushed and abruptly finished.
or maybe thats the lingering mystery element of the book...

am again on prowl for something new to read.
have recently taken to trying out the crossword . but i can rarely get more than half completed. I've always thought the ability to do crosswords is terribly intellectual...but i guess this proves that intellectual...i is not :(

guy wrote article in TOI abt how the web is getting clogged by bloggers....most of whom are failed frustrated writers who vent all their spleen in the blogs blooh blah blah
puhleeeeeeeze!!
what a desperado.

today is Dashera! Happy Dashera to all.
I want to see the whole Ravan burning thing...without which Dashera is just not Dashera.
u know what i mean.
Place where i grew up...it used to rain every single time on Dashera day. so everytime there would be this huge buzz on the grounds where the Ravan would stand.....will it burn this time...or wont it? will it ...wont it?
great fun :) miss those days!

I made kheer for the team today...festival special. was yummm.
and everyone is healthy so far.
Earned a lot of goodwill ....which i will certainly use when we come to the documentation phase of this project. heheheheh

tata for now
