That time of the year...AGAIN!!!

So, 2013 is here. New Year is a time for changes, of changes..something new, somethings not so new.

I gave a 'new' look to my blog layout. I look at every new year as an opportunity to change something, or start something new. No big deal about it, it's as nonsensical a thought as my nonsensical blogs are ;).

And, my favourite activity is making resolutions, oh! I love it, don't ask me why, I just love making and breaking resolutions. I am ready with my resolutions for 2013, albeit a lil late, but it's there.

This year I decided not to add weight loss to my list, because, its pointless. I start with a lot of vigour and all it takes is a Belgian chocolate shake, or some rich dark choco pastry or after 8's to lose focus. Ugh!


  • My first resolution is to make sure that I get enough sleep. Am not an owl, I don't suffer from insomnia, but I am unable to get good and enough hours of peaceful sleep. There is always a dream and I just completely lose myself in it, and then the alarm rings. Sigh!
  • Take care of my skin, and follow the cleansing-moisturizing-toning regime, OK that's too much to do everyday, I will atleast do the cleansing bit every night. Well, my skin is not in a bad condition, but recently, someone told me, that blessings also need to be taken care of, otherwise it will soon turn into a curse.
  • Drink water! Phew! This finds it way back into my list, can you imagine I live in a city which experiences the worst summer, and if I have managed to stay without water then also, then am definitely not a human, probably a camel's cousin - this statement was from my Dad.
  • Order less from flipkart - Yeah! I am a flipkart addict. I order a lot of books, then I give it away to people generously, without reading it. And then I crib when those books are not returned, and I order the same ones again. Hoarder!
  • Instead of saying, we should 'do something' I will actually do something. Its started more or less, especially after the gang rape. I have become more daring.
  • I will speak my mind, and I am not going to sugar coat them.
  • I will stand up for myself, whoever it is. I am done with people trying to hush me up, interrupt me, telling me the do's and dont's.
  • I am not going to sit quietly or ignore anyone's trashy talks. I will raise my voice. In the garb of friends, and well wishers, who have done everything but wished me well.
  • I will learn something new, if possible every month.
  • I will colour my hair.
  • I will wear more colors. Wear skirts, buy more accessories.
  • I will not stick to the same routes, I will drive my car without any fear.
  • I will write more nonsense ;)
OK! Am done. 13 resolutions for 2013. Not bad at all. I should be able to keep the resolutions, I will amend them if needed, but not break. And I am also going to review it every now and then. :)

The pressure of celebration..

One of the usual mornings, where after packing off everyone, changed into my exercise gear and stepped out for the usual few rounds of cycling. Early morning chill was now taken over by the warmth of the sun, which gave me my dose of Vit D (much needed, my levels are alarmingly low). Finished my rounds, and caught up with my friends who were out for their morning walk. We parked ourselves in our layout under the sun chatting away. Today the topic was "what plans for 31st"? When one of the girls spoke very sadly, that all her friends have plans of taking a vacation/going for an NYE event/dinner and drinks at someone's place/drinking and going crazy at a pub, while she was "just going to be home". She was all the more upset, that while her friends would be going crazy posting pics all over social media, she would not have anything 'interesting' to share, and it would be embarrassing. I walked back with my head full of thoughts, precisely why the blo...

Take it easy policy...

A friend walked in, to have coffee, her house also is empty by 8 and so is mine. So sometimes, we catch up for our lil tete-a-tete over coffee. Talking about coffee, I have turned the American way, I now prefer black coffee to white. Well, the first cuppa is with milk. Her Mum is an amazing baker, she had sent homemade peanut butter cookies. So, my neighbour was generous enough to get some for me. I made the famous South Indian filter coffee, and we plonked ourselves on the couch. She seemed a lil disturbed, so after a lot of prodding, she finally asked me if I thought she was obsessive about being perfect. So I instantly said Yes! And she was shocked, she said how could I have known that about her, as I have known her only for few months. So I laughingly pointed out at certain incidents and told her that I have a penchant for observing people and their mannerisms, and I can't help it. We laughed, then she asked, but what's wrong in doing things perfectly? I told her nothing, ...

Everyone has a story..

-The woman who was wearing a bright lipstick in the hospital. You thought was too loud a make up for a hospital! She just heard the news of a terminal disease few days back. The lipstick helped her cheer up. Think before you judge. -The man you noticed bingeing on sweets, and thought to yourself , if he should have. He was off sweets and good things to bring down his weight and diabetes, for almost a year. This was just a cheat day which made him feel rewarded. Don’t judge. -The girl in the mall with a very heavy eye makeup, fake lashes, coloured shadow, whom you thought was over dressed, has been crying continuously since few days over her broken heart and relationships. The make up was probably to cover her tired eyes from the world. Don’t mock. -The child in the coffee shop who is dropping chocolate sauce on his clothes while the mother is on her phone. The mother is probably wanting a break from doing that chore all day 24/7. Don’t bad mouth her. -The woman you just labell...
