'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.

Holi-day

Man I miss playing Holi. The hullabaloo, the colours, the shrieks, the confusion - I love it. And I love that you can wear you're worst (read: most comfortable) clothes and no one will judge you for it.

Nobody seems to play Holi these days. Lack of people to play with is the No.1 excuse (it's mine too). And then comes, (2) the colours these days are terribly toxic, (3) that one off-day I need to catch up on sleep, (4) that's for the kids (I'm too old now), (5) other. There's no dearth of excuses when it comes to Holi - including, 'I don't want to be molested by the para changras'.

Sigh, life just gets complexer and complexer as the years move on. Some people sleep their Holis away, others watch from the safety of their fourth floor windows, still others watch TV and snack, and some turn to their blogs.

But look on the bright side: It's Holi and I have a holi-day. So yay!
