Day 62

Okay, so I'm done with the forms. Some questions left include: What major reversals have you experienced in your professional/personal life? What are your expectations from this company? Outline your ambitions, aspirations and values.

How do you answer those things??

Forms are crazy things. That's a universal truth. And don't you forget it.

An angrezi mem who is picking up Bengali joined office today. Out of the blue she asked me: Tomar baari kothaye. I was so thrown by that! Blonde, green eyes and Bong. Whattay combo.

It's hard to not write about food, but Onn threatened me with dire consequences if I do (She said she will stop being my loyal reader and commenting on every one of my posts. I'm scared).

Two of my stories got featured on the home page today. Both are rush-rush. Neither have my byline. But I wrote 'em (One on Dada and one on Lake Market) and I'm happy.

Madz has a terribly angry-looking smiley (angry smiley.. what an oxymoron) as her Gtalk display pic. I feel weird talking to her now.

Shreya and I are going for a free makeover. We are planning to start this makeover thing to feature on the website, and couldn't get people wanting makeovers, so we volunteered. It's just makeup and hair stuff. Makeup can be washed off. And hair, well even disastrous highlights grow out eventually. They may throw in a free tattoo as well. I'm wondering if I want one. Wish me luck.

Here are some lines that I came across while surfing the web. They don't go with the tone of the rest of the post, but they're beautiful:

"Everyone stands alone on the heart of the earth
transfixed by a sun ray:
and suddenly it is evening."
