great vt walk!

so today i met up with my school friends like i do every few weeks. after lots of discussion we headed to new yorkers to have some food and all. all that being normal 3 pastas, a sizzler, 2 brownies, half pizza, nachos and garlic bread. =P

so forget that. the main story begins when we went to colaba causeway.on reaching there it was already 4.30pm so me n forum had to leave for home as she had to reach home by 5.30 and me by 6. after all the goodbyes, we headed to CST station only to realize we had um minimal amount of money owing to humongous amount of food. so we decided to walk to CST station.

surprise neither of us knew the way. so we started with a random galli on instructions by a taxi wallah, that road took us to the one with prince of wales museum and the Jahangir art gallery. from there we took a right to land up at the lion gate. yes that does exists along with a cheetah gate and an elephant gate! taking some random rights and lefts we landed up at horniman circle and saw the majestic Asiatic library. by this time we both realised that we were going in circles so again asked instructions from a friendly neighbourhood paan wallah!

finally we were going some where. now we were passing through shady gallies and saw some agyaries we never knew existed! the shady gallies were not as much of a problem per Se, but ehm..i had decided to wear a skirt that day so yeah people were staring at my bare legs. nevertheless do i care! finally after walking about 3-4 kms i saw something familiar from the corner of my eye.......CST STATION...yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!

finally we parked our tired selves on the first train out of CST to home sweet home. and guess the best part we made it to the 5.14 train even with the extreme amount of wandering about. so me n forum have made up out mind, we are going to explore some other part of mumbai next week!

trust me when you have too much time to spare go on and explore your city, its fun! getting lost is fun! and if you are in mumbai, wear pants when you get lost because if you wear skirts, people stare!...hehehehe....

an ode to the bubble wrap!

so there is this wacky editor of HTcity, mumbai, ms.lalita iyer whom i so adore for amazingly funny pieces of weekly editorials, chickwit. this week she came up with her love for bubble wrap and let me tell you, i know exactly how she feels!

bubble wraps are like god sent! you can burst them all day long..trust me, you actually can! its like bursting little pods of happiness. it is a weird obsession i know, but damn it you just CANT get over it! picture this, someone gifts you a bone china statuette, and instead of admiring the fine workmanship of the statue you end up bursting all the bubbles on the bubble wrap...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee fun isn't it?

the focus you can put in bursting the little bubbles is ummm a little weird but goddamnit, VERY satisfying! i have borne the wrath of my mommy dearest on numerous occasions for making the bubble wrap useless but God know that doesn't stop me. i just love the PHAT PHAT PHUT sound that goes with bursting the nice little bubbles.
let me just make it clear i am not a serial bubble killer but OMG i cant stop my weird little obsession!

mr.whoever-invented-bubble-wrap i am in awe...thank you for creating such a wonderful creation which gives me such a release..ok so now that i have said it, i feel awesome. and now i am off to de-bubble a bubble wrap.wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

=)
neeyaali!
