The answer to life, the Universe and everything doesn’t help when you want it all “figured out”. That is what I want. I want it all figured out. I am tired of looking for answers, I cannot make any more pro-con lists, I am unable to weigh my options or not balance ‘em lists. I want you to please tell me what next? What am I supposed to do next. Please, let me know. Oh and please make sure that I end up smiling and laughing, baking and stir-frying, mixing cocktails and making preserves right at home, reading and writing lots and lots of stories, in the hills and next to the beach, with enough DVDs to last me a lifetime, with enough time to watch re-runs, surrounded by all of you, in warm happy sunlight and nostalgic outpourings of the rains. Please do.
Wassup?

*Happy Birthday Maya! Happy Birthday Hottie :) I believe it! I do! Yes, you are twins and Yes, you are both 25. Each! Heh.
**The Ex. The only Ex so to say. Others were friends and then boyfriends and then friends again? Well, at the tender (guffaw!) age of twenty six, Sir will tie the knot.
Oooh! I want!
We are such materialists; thriving in this consumer-driven madness; loving every minute and marketing it all. So here is are my wants -
The coffee obsession should be welcomed. The awesome coffee making ability, more of a talent, should be honed to perfection. Sirop should rule the world of coffee and to help her, she asks her or her, or (if she is in a remarkably generous mood) her help.
Queens need to be pretty-fied. So, maybe some day if I decide to make an effort and actually, finally style my hair. This would come in handy.
The other insane want is simply the Norton Anthology of Literature. Bleh. I am such a geek sometimes!
Check?
- The best friend is married. All is well. The world didn’t come crashing down on anyone.
- The phone bill is back on track. Although the hiding is still not over. (The boy is not in India for the next three months and well… the phone bill has gone up by a gazillion percent!)
- Finished Neverwhere by Gaiman. You should read it, whoever you are. It is quite something. Should make a movie on it, unless they’ve done that already…
- Cotton saris are meant for people who are skinny and have no curves. Yes, I wore one. Yes, I felt suicidal.
- There is nothing sexy about high heels. They are a death trap. Yes, for 3 straight days. Yes, I am quitting them.
- Check pending: I want to study -vs- I don’t know how to quit my job
- Gilmore Girls, all the seasons, all seven of them. Done.
- Food intake.
- Smoke.
- Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Capote. It should be read and then re-read.
ETA: So they made a 6 part miniseries based on Neverwhere. In 1996! Wow. Okay, I need to go download.
