251

That's for lack of a better idea for a headline.

I'm really tired today. Maybe it's because I scared a lizard. He was taking a stroll on my office terrace floor around the same time as I decided a trip to the loo was needed. He stopped in his tracks and played dead. I gave him a curious look to see if he really was. He didn't move. I walked ahead and looked behind - he was scooting across to the wall, completely relieved that the danger was past.

Sometimes I wonder why lizards scare me so much.

I'm really really tired. And I've got this awesome story to do -- just not enough time to get my brain cells around it.

And. And. Anyone who says History is boring has just not read the right books.

Happy 250

I didn't realise till a few minutes ago, but this is my Happy 250th post. 2nd happy birthday of blog also coming up.

Which brings me to my budday plans. I heading to M'bai. There's talk of Goa, but I think I'd rather lol around the house, meet friends, ex-bosses and ex-colleagues and basically have a nostalgia trip. But I'm still undecided.

Oooh.. I had dinner at One Step Up last night. The Chicken Paprika was yumm, though it gave me a runny tummy.

Do I give too many details?

I half want a Dev R Nil dress for my budday. But I don't think that's gonna happen.

But new mini laptop might soon be mine. Poppa has been offering.

While I'm still rambling, Shreya has new pup - Labrador. It's tingu and has big feet and elderly eyes. I like him.

And see this mew:

'Good Day' bulletin

I like blogging daily (or at least almost daily). It keeps me happy. And it's nice to see a bunch of comments below the post every so often. Correct that: it's very nice.

Today has been a good day.

For starters, the heat hasn't been as unbearable except for the tea-time outing which brought us back sweating like boars - or am I just getting used to it?

Second, I spoke to Shubha Mudgal :) It was telephonic, but what the hell. She has a lovely tinkling laugh. Remember, you heard that from me first.

Third, (though this happened before the Shubha interview) I found long-lost childhood friend in auto and we exchanged numbers. She lives almost in my para as it turns out.

Fourth, I finally uploaded a photo gallery that I'm happy with and proud of. Here's the link: Jeet-Koel: Match made in Tollywood. If for nothing else, check out Koel. She looks lovely in the pics.

Fifth, this is a nice long blog. If only, there was something more exciting than pumpkin waiting for me at dinner. But then, this heat kills the appetite anyway.

Of ACs and cows

Uff... long day. Nearly 10 hours. Tomorrow's going to be longer. But the AC in office is godsend. For a change I'm not even grumblebumming about the long day.

There was something I wrote down this morning to copy-paste here, but it is not to be found. I also heard this awesome cow song: http://travel.webshots.com/video/3099383350079233465

I have this fascination for cows. I want to own one called Daisy someday to ride to work. Just hope she doesn't get scared off by the crazy autos at Chandni.

I wish I were a fish

I got 5 comments 24 hours after my long-delayed post-Holi post. What can I say? I'm touched and I feel happy inside.

It's been a crazily busy day at work, but the good kind. I'll go home whistling. Hell, I already am. ilovekolkata.in is getting a new look :)

Today was one of those days when I really really wanted to get to work. The AC was the bait on this 40-plus-degree day, and I bit it.

I wish I were a fish. My boyfriend is one. But he has no fins. Moo is one too, but with a name like Moo, who would ever believe it.

S.O.S. call

I need truckloads of money. And even more free time. Then I will sit and write an earthshakingly brilliant bestselling book that will bring me still more truckloads of money.

Sigh. Such a nice dream come true that would be.

I'm blogging from work. A first this is. What this means is though, that long posts are a no-no. I would like to do this daily, or on alternate days or even weekly. But sigh... Work seems to have wound me around its crafty l'il finger, and I'm too gutless currently to unentangle myself.

Somebody please rescue me. Send in your donations. I need to get those trucks loaded.
