I Know I Am Growing Older When...

  1. I remember reading when Mithun's son was born, and the reasoning behind his asinine name.
  2. Having clothes that were in fashion a long, long time ago - wide belts, skinny jeans.
  3. My cousin, who I thought was young and hip starts turning 50 and the other one turns 40. No! No! Life, where have you slipped away?
  4. I look down snootily on drama queens and fire them without remorse.

Why I Should Have High Self Esteem

1. I am actually pretty darn good at my job/s/s/s/s.
2. People who scare people do not scare me and are my er... admirers.
3. I can be a good finisher, down to the smallest detail. This makes me happy, because 5 years ago, I was crappy at finishing.
4. During crises, I do not lose my cool, though I lose my cool very often at silly, stupid things, especially regarding point 2.
5. I can make sensible decisions and have people follow me whenever I wish.
6. I do not shy from leadership, in fact I rather enjoy it.
7. I am mostly confident.
8. I am not as ugly as I thought I was.

Checkpoint Chamia - Because Why Should Cocktails Not Have Indian Names?

Last Summer, I was in Berlin. This summer too I will be in Berlin, for a week, working my ass off. I took a picture that I liked a lot. I described it to V.

In summers, I need lime, lemons and lemony drinks. I want all my drinks to have a twist of lime, if possible. Also, I made up a new cocktail and I wanted a new name. According to V, why should Cocktails not have Indian Names? Indeed, why not? V named this one and the name kind of grew on me.

Checkpoint Chamia

Sprite
Absolut Citron
Limoncello
Lime or lemon juice
Ice

Mix and match to the strength you want. Me, I like mine with LOTS of limoncello and lime juice...

Belief

  • Does Saif actually look like a tea drinker?
  • Does Juhi actually eat kurkure?
  • Is Customer support actually like a faithful pug?
  • Vidya, aren't you glad to see Madhavan finally go for his goddamned tour, so you can go back to reading your MBs?
  • Does Kareena really use Vivel? (What a Vile name!)

All Coming Back To Me Now

I went for my eye check-up last week. Turns out my power has dropped 0.5 degrees for both my eyes. I truly appreciate the power of sight, now that every thing seems clearer and I don't need to squint at the monitor.

To celebrate my clear sight, I got a pair of retro frames!
