Temperatures dropping

Why is Bangalore THIS cold ?
On the one hand I am glad that the winter isnt as bad as last year, where there was sweltering heat in December. But this cold is a little extreme.
Brrrrr
Everyone is in sweaters and shawls. My tea time in the canteen is cut short coz my hands are freezing !!!
Grrrrr
P.S. I'll take a cold day over a hot one anyday :)

A lazy Sunday well spent

She knew as soon as she crossed over that she had stepped into some new territory. It wasn’t the way it smelled, the way it looked, the people in it or any of the myriad senses humans posses. It was the way it made her feel. Her feet felt the forgotten emotion of treading on soft earth. Her eyes understood the explosion of colors around her. Her soul sensed the beauty that was so many trees swaying in the cool breeze, the melody in the hundreds of voices around her, the happiness in the children that were running around her. A combined assault on the senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, touching and feeling- is this how it feels she wondered.

And the beauty of all that was it happened when she crossed over that imaginary line that was called a gate.

Jewellery in various shades, shapes and styles. Ceramic was that was colored with Maati. Absolutely beautiful handiworks of craftsmen from all the country. Each as varied as the language, the location or the peoples in themselves. Toys, jewellery, paintings, vases, flowers, metal art, clothes, pottery, cutlery, tribal art, bamboo work, leather puppets and food :)

She was at a Handicrafts Exhibition in Chitra Kala Parishath. Boy, was it funnnnnnn.

P.S. it is so worth it, my house will be filled with knick-knacks from all over the country soon … tra la lalalaaa

I saw this interesting movie this weekend. While there was a huge load of nonsense. and some un-intentional comedy, there were a couple of points that came up during it that I liked.

When in a relationship, the hero realises that he has to lie to his girl about 'Having quit smoking', 'Being friends with other women', 'Thinking about only her 24/7'. He has to lie to make her feel happy that he is shaping out to be exactly what she wants. While it is killing him that he has to lie more and more each day, he wonders if he will have to spend his entire life losing what he is bit by bit and becoming someone he should be.
Its a very fascinating observation. Worrying about the "I" while trying to be in a working 'love story'.

Well, in the movie he gives up on that relationship and later gets into another , where he says that when pushed into a corner about "adjusting" for the sake of his lady, he will try to give up his sense of self and pour in more love to be "us" over "I".

Gastronomic Delights!!

This weekend passed by as a blur of
Chocolate
Crispy Fried Veg Starters
American Chopsuey
One full Minute Maid Pulpy Orange
Mango Ice Cream
Kulfi
A full Nimbooz bottle
Gobi Manchuri
Dahi Puri
WhiteChocolate & Raspberry Cookie
2 orders of French Fries
Bun with Butter and Gulkhand

In short (or long), all the things I had to stop eating.
Life is so much better off when you are not worrying about eating right/ eating wholesome / eating consciously / just plain dieting :)I am dead tired of worrying about weight, what I eat and all the nonsense that goes with it. So, here's goodbye to guilt :)
I mean whats the point of feeling guilty when all the supposed dieting just results in weight gain.
What a relief this weekend has been ! Traalalalalalllaaa ...
P.S. I read the list and while it does seem I have gone a tad bit overboard, aw well, what the heck :)
