'nother 'un!

Yeah 'twas a Sunday. Had a party that night. I have realized whatever everyone says that to look sexy is not about the body or what you wear but the way you feel, I have one thing to say to them "Its utter crap; and that photography and light play a VERY important role as well". I saw the snaps and I wanted to jump out of the window. But there wasn't any. Thats not the point. I had worn an LBD and I felt my body was sexy, me dress was sexy, hell I FELT sexy, but did the photos and the cellulite which I thought was well hidden 'cuz of my heels made me feel sexy. Of course not. Hence, my above mentioned opinion to the people out there. Please do not get me wrong. I am extremely +ve in my thinking and my day to day life. But hellow, even the Dalai Lama doesn't feel good every passing second. I am sure he must be losing it, though not showing it.

Anywho, I hate photos, I hate wrong angles, I need to work out (which I am doing, I swear), I basically need a good camera man at a venue with excellent, sensor lighting which changes when an over wt. person (read: me) passes by.

I need to have a chocolate.

Valentines Day to remember

Yeah so 14th Feb was fast approaching and all of us were deciding to what to do on this god forsaken day. No don't get me wrong, I luuuurrrrve love but do not have anyone to share this 'special' day with. Anywho, my friend and I (she is committed, FYI) decided to get a huge bucket of KFC and a huge tub of Chocolate ice cream with chocolate chip cookies sprinkled on it and watch reruns of F.R.I.E.N.D.S or chick flicks. And I wanted to listen to "All by myself......" and have box of Kleenex as well. Well, whaddya know we ended up watching a movie that night with a chocolate shake in this theatre. Saw Changeling. As intellectual as I am I do not understand the meaning of the title, but I must say I think the movie exceeded my expectations. It was too good. The acting, the casting, the story, the setting, the dialogues, the scenes ESPECIALLY the court scene! If its a true story, then I hope whoever was involved in torturing the crap out of Christine Collins is rotting in hell! Poor thing, loses her son but finds hope to find him after she gives up everything. The court scene is amazing.

Well on Wednesday night I saw Dev D. Contemporary Devdas. I was surprised to see 5 stars for it for the review in TOI. But frankly, I think it deserves all the accolades and the stars it got. Its not a movie which has mass appeal. It is not as emotional as Devdas but you feel sorry for the protagonist. It is a bold movie, it will give you a depressing feeeling. If for nothing else, go for Abhay Deol's acting and the songs. Ooh am I addicted to them!


Yeah say it. I know I aint that great in writing movie reviews, but what the hell!

Party! Party! Party!

Well, yes I HAVE been going to parties. Pg 3 parties I might add. For two days....... Continuously. Ha! Obviously my pic did NOT feature in pg 3. I was hoping it does though. What a disappointment! On Thursday I had gone out for this club launch. It was a dry day tho. But its alright as we managed to get G & T there as our Dir of F&B had also come. it was fun. Saw Sania Mirza. God, that woman needs a stylist.

On Friday we had gone for this fashion show in this popular night club as it was there 6th anniversary. Fashion Show n me is like hot toast n butter! It was nice but boring cuz it was jam packed, people were falling all over each other to get a glimpse of the models, the gap between each round was too big AND I was wearing this vertiginous heels which were extremely tight for me. I was convincing myself that they are loosening up a bit but honestly, I was wearing 'em cuz they had featured in Vogue. But hey, I had bought 'em way before they were featured in that magazine.

Nothing much after that. I have never cooked in my entire life. But i had to cook for my friends last (Saturday) night as I had to treat 'em for this HUGE favour they had done for me.

Ok I gotta go n zzzzzz. Bright, Monday morning tomorrow. Cant wait for it to get over!

Piling up Pastrami

Last night I,

Dropped my sister off at the St. Regis hotel.
Nice hotel. Tad bit old fashioned, but gorgeous lobby with bronze/gold work. Plush, yes plush is a good word.
Met their personal Butler (yes Butler), a girl named King, no Keen, no Keana? No ....whatever, I didn't get the name.
She was very eager to help. She offered to unpack the bags.
And to pack them, if needed.
It was 10pm. We were all hungry. Dinner had to be decided upon. Not many options.
Sister 2 and bro-in-law shocked that hotel allows non-hotel food to be delivered.
Sister 1 insisted that we try Carnegie Deli.
Luck was on our side. Carnegie Deli delivers even at 10:15pm (yes time had passed and we had no decisions made).
We ordered from Carnegie Deli.
Food arrived. 7 whole pickles. Yum.
50 packets of ketchup. Why??
Piled up pastrami. It just doesn't get any better.

I dream of pastrami.
Piled high to the top
A slight push with the finger
And everything flops

You can have it anywhere
It'll never satisfy your belly
Until you order this mountain
Of Pastrami from Carnegie Deli

Hidden heels and no tears & no heels and hidden tears

Had a charity event in the hotel last night. My friend from the Marketing dept had the passes and apparently this really hot model (a.k.a. Milind Sonam) was s'posed to come. I was in no mood to go as I wanted to wear heels and COULDN'T! I was cranky, upset and kept on whining and was fighting back tears. I braved the world and went in the hopes of seeing that hot guy but did he turn up? With my luck, of course not! I am pretty sure if I would have stuck to my original decision of not going he would have definitely turned up and I wouldn't have seen him!

My new shoes are sitting pretty and gathering dust on them.

'Twas a Monday evening

I was free, I had nothing to do, no lists no nothing. Well, I am sure I had stuff, but I wasn’t going to do it. I was going to kick back, relax and enjoy the evening.

I did go work out though, after months. I’m not a good work-outer I must add. I enjoy aerobics, but where are the classes in NY? Ugh. Besides its too cold, I think ill just follow up on my interrupted Salsa classes. Back to last night. I decided to eat a light meal, but due to a friends insistence, I caved in and went for my favorite wings and burgers. Am shameless, I love food too much. I cannot resist. Luckily I don’t put as much weight, still I need to be healthier. At least I am thinking about it!

I am digressing too much. So it was cuppa chai, workout, shower, watching ‘How I met your mother’ while munching on wings and blue cheese dressing, then Two and a Half Men while trying to fit stacked up burger in mouth. Then a good ten minutes to wipe off all the mess I created.

Then heaven, I was in heaven. Kick back, relax, turn the heat up and journey with Anthony Bourdain!

Such is a perfect Monday night. Pray do tell, how yours was?

And a new era begins!

Yup today is the 1st day of 2009. I thought spending the last night of 2008 at home in this small city is gonna be a total bummer. But as it turns out and as great people always have to SOMETIMES eat their words (in my case: thoughts) it was great. I really did not feel like partyin 'n' drinkin' in the wee hrs of the mornin' and see the sunrise. Wasn't up to it. It was a small family thing at home (dad, mom, grandma and moi) and a friend of parents. Had alcohol in front of them for the first time that's why stuck to only 1 'cuz mom was on the verge of fainting anyway (dunno whether it was 'cuz I was having alcohol or she was having wine). Food was yum! I got to see "Famous friends of F.R.I.E.N.D.S." Got the new yr in with laughter. 2008 turned to be a total washout, so it was good to start the new yr with laughter.

I got the 2008 in with a hangover on the day of an exam. Yep, you guessed it, turned out to be one of my better exams. So bringing in 2009 with laughter and lots of sleep at home was a refreshing change. Wanted to write this last night but then I thought though no one will ever know but inside I would have definitely felt like a loser. Hence, the blog right now in the afternoon.
