psuedo monsoon...

It rained in Abu Dhabi y'day!!
Before anyone starts thinking how sad my life is...that i wud write abt this...let me tell u...it rains once in a year here.
and yesterday was that golden day. i feel like i witnessed part of history....
one solid hour of rain. everything looked squeaky clean after it...like its been given a good wipe with Colinspray :)

folks out here promptly celebrated by having several accidents in that time. The whole idea of "oh-its-been-raining-maybe-i-shouldnt-drive-at-120mph-just-now" just doesnt hit them.

the local hindi radio channel decided to commemorate it by playing rain songs on the 9pm slot. songs were gud...the bad part was...the opening trailer for the show was that sick anu malik song...dekho baarish ho raheeee hai...yuck yuck yuck.

y'day the boss came and said..we shd be outta her by december 1st week. then said...lets just say 2nd week maxxx. i have a sad awareness of what this means.

someone plz explain to me...the whole deal of giving acheivement/samman awards to bollywood actors??? they r just doing their obscenely-high-paying jobs rite? since when did that become award worthy...
and they surely dont need the publicity...OR the money.

i'm back! from where...u might ask...well...just back to the blog..

i ACTUALLY had ppl asking me why i havent updated the blog. i cannot describe the warm cosy ..feet-a-few-feet-above-the-ground feeling this gives me. Ppl actually read what i write? or maybe i am the only one in their radar mad enough to rant in print.
yeneways...shall take it in positive sense...

and comments....OMG...2 comments...unbelievable...first time i saw it..i was like WOW!! made coming back from vacation...totally worth it.

yess....thaz riiite...i was on vacation...a supposed visa renewal break...conviniently converted into a diwali vacation. had a fabulous time...lots of yumm home food...diet plan totally collapsed, lots of relatives and no expectations of doing anything constructive all day. yayyy.
all i want now is a well paying job to pick seashells all day on a beach in the west indies.

in absense of that...came back to AD..and horror horror...back to work. first 2 days were awful....brain refused to come out of vacation induced stupor...
10 days after return...am sadly back on track.

recent movies...
the break up...pass
Dor..gud
Don... UGGGHHHH!!!
the UGGHH rating has a lot to do with the theatre we saw it in...it was abt the size of my living room...ok...abt 2 times that...and had a insufferably small screen. felt like it was one of those big lcd screen tv's in a room...and they took 30 AED for that. per person.i felt so cheated. spent the first 10 minutes hollering ' i want a bigger screeeeeeeeen'.
not that it mattered....
nor did anyone hear me
or throw me out for disorderly conduct...coz no one watches hindi movies in AD..and the theatre consequently had a grand total of 7 ppl in it....us included.
all of whom were disgusted by the movie...i may add...

the ex-prez of eyerakk is gonna hang. gud.
but will it change the world? i dont think so.
