"Now is the time to try something new"
... so says my Today's Fortune on Orkut. Well then, lets start with a post!
I am back from a 6 day vacation! My cousin, the beautiful, talented, intelligent Kanch, got married and this was a perfect opportunity to meet few relatives I hadn't met in a long time, and wouldn't be able to do so for a long time either. Weddings are such a fun time. Dress up, tease the groom, eat good food, hugs, good wishes - ah!
Best part was meeting my neice. What a cute kid :) I want herrrrrrrrrrr she so pretty and thin and tall! She kept saying "Naaanni beku" ("I want my grandma" - she loves my mom!), "Aaaaaiiii aaai aai aai" (calling out to her mom), and loads of such cute things. During the reception, she saw my hubby and stretched her arms, a sign that she wants him to take her in his arms. :O She NEVER did that with me! Bataati hu use... no boyfriend tips, or supporting her when she wants to take up tatooing as her fulltime job!
I will get to meet few more ppl at Poo's engagement, dunno after that. The tickets are booked. Now is the time to dispose of the things at home we won't be needing.
I was watching America's Next Top Model, and my! Beauty is overrated isn't it. But I guess as long as you are willing to go the extra mile to look good, it shouldn't be anyone's concern. Its purely upto the individual.
Everytime I login to orkut, I look at my fortune and go into a deep, extra, too-much thinking mode (not that I need a trigger for that... ). I start wonderting if this is what it means, or what it doesn't mean, and begin relating things that happened recently, or I might do differently because of it. What crap. I need to snap out of it. Things will happen. Look at the past 2 months. Its all happening. Dekhte dekhte it'll be Dec last week. Life does throw challenges to us doesn't it? Or we dive head first into it. Who knows. Sab maaya hai. I got my passport in 2002, and the "Date of Issue" was same as "Place of Issue". I tried getting it corrected, but somehow it never happened. Then, in Feb 2007, 5 years after getting it, (which means half the validity period is over :)) ), the kind man at the Regional Passport Office corrects it. Without bribe, without us needing to stand in queue, without needing to fill any forms. He says its a "clerical mistake" and corrects in 5 seconds. Lo! So things happen. Will happen.
I'm currently reading Midnight's Children. Who's read it? Any thoughts?
Who's not seen the movie Transformers? Anyone? You? Pls, take the nearest newspaper and roll and whack yourself on your head with it! Its an amazing movie! Full AI and robotics. Fun, with a message and extremely enjoyable! I bet you wished you had a Bumble Bee to protect you :)

I haven't watched transformers and as you said I just whacked myself with the newspaper..
I too think a lot about the future and current unstabilities but I know as you say God shall take of it all.
Oi lad! Why haven't you?! Its a totally "guy" movie; as in action, romance, fight sequences, dhishum dhishum etc etc. Watch it today! Now! (Man I can sure be persuasive can't I? :D)
Transformers is an awesome movie! I watched it a day or two before you wrote this post, on Star I think... Didn't you do the same? ;-)
Lovely mood-lifting experience about the passport. Thanks for sharing!
I watched it long before it was released, thanks to piracy ;) and then watched it again in theatre when it released in India.
You know, everytime during Oscars, they nominate few unreleased movies for visual effects, sound effects and the like. Harry Potter and Order of Phoenix and Transformers were nominated in 2006and guess who won.
TRANSFORMERS! :D
Sorry Nidhi :)
