smells like teen spirit!

lately i am totally into grunge and punk rock. lets thank Riddhi Vyas for that. round of applause! ok thank you. so last Saturday while going college for festival work, suddenly i got inspired to get my navel pierced! what inspired that outrageous-ness? i hardly have a clue myself.

so suddenly i was in college and asking anyone and everyone if they will come with me to get my belly pierced. most of them gave me looks that suggesting "its just a moment of madness, you'll get over it" but not Shivani. she was actually more excited about it then i was! so it was fixed that Sunday we go and get my navel pierced. but then certain people found out about the apparent dangers of the piercing and asked me to shut the beep off because i need to work and you have to supposedly take rest for a minimum of 2 days after the piercing. so plan postponed to Friday, 17th October 2008.

that date goes down in history as the day i got my wish fulfilled. ok just one of the many outrageous ones that i have. i had given a hint to my mom that i might do this, but i guess looking at her face the next day after the piercing, that she had obviously taken that as a joke! in any case, lets relive the Friday. so in the morning i had journal correction day. which thankfully got over by afternoon. so i took along Darshan (because Riddhi said you may encounter freaks) and Shivani (because she was so excited and i was happy that someone at least was really happy that i was doing this). before leaving Darshan stated, "even though i am coming with you doesn't mean that i approve of this." i was like yeah ok. Jinal gave me 500 promises, like take care of the piercing, do exactly what the piercing guy tells you about the after care, don't over work yourself etc.

so then we left, in a rick. it was a long way. and yes let me confess i was a bit nervous. the whole way we were irritating Shivani. that did ease me. on reaching the salon, my head said to me "this is it. turn back now if you have second thoughts" well i didn't. so i went in. and in 20 mins i was out with a spanking new piercing! i am telling you, you have to see it! its super awesome! i love it. really!

so that night i showed it to my mom. i expected shouting and are you mad chants. but i was disappointed. all she said was , "for this you wasted a grand?" with the most ridiculously sympathetic look. the part about dad comes like a day and a half later. i told my dad on Saturday night. he was pretty much repulsed. "i want it removed this instant" he shouted. but i am a stubborn ass. everyone knows that. i told him " do what you want, i am not removing it. i love it!" and went back to bed. although now i don think it bothers him.

next day we had a cousins lunch thingy. i showed it to them as well. all of them love it. Anu bhabhi said "you are a complete hippie!" and Mikul bhai, "lets get a tattoo done!!"
that's in my plan. next year for sure. hes sponsoring it. yes its awesome to be me.
=p

rekindling my old romance!

before you people get any fantastic ideas, i am talking about good old pac-man! remember when you were 5 and went to play arcade games at Hikone (Hiranandani). oh i used to LOVE pac-man, that adorable yellow ball which just ate things. i actually relate to it but never mind. so the other day when we went to Krupa's house i saw her playing it on her computer.

today i downloaded it. as they say Internet has everything! i just googled it. now since i cant play minesweeper on my laptop I'm shifting to my old love. pac-man! my skills are rusty but i am working on it. lets see how fast i beat Krupa's high score. methinks its going to take a LONG time!

the dandia night!!

ohk so on 1st October - me, Darshan, Mruganshi, Rushita, Siddhi and Chintan went for dandia. at first road Parla, nothing too fancy. actually me n Darshan are working on a stupid MI project which we have to submit on Monday. so all of us went to his house right after lunch to work on our project. while all the other females slept peacefully we slogged our butts on making a presentation on ultrasound! it was quite done till 5.30ish.

despite being jobless after that we ended up being late for the event because Rushita madam had to put on full costume of "chaniya choli". in any case we made it there till 9. by the way in Mumbai everything is officially supposed to end at 10. for one hour we girls needed a pass since guys had a season pass already. after gathering all known sources we finally had passes to go in by 9.15. then garba begin which i totally suck at! so moving a little of what i knew while making sure i don't get stamped upon was kinda weirdly fun.

somehow the organizers managed way past 11.30. but then we were hungry..really! so off we go to Bajaj road to have gola despite me having a little temperature and bad throat. yum it was. so anyways our dinner was still pending. we went back to amar and had the most amazing cheese tawa pulav in the world. (i didn't have anything because after i dance i just cant digest food!). it was already something around 12.30.

all the girls were supposed to come to my home and originally it was planned that we'll take a rick and go just like last year. but alas Chintan and Darshan opposed and took us at Darshan's house to collect our bags and take car keys to drop us at my house. so at 1 in the night we reached Santacruz only to realize Mr.Darshan lost his drivers license..now we couldn't have possibly stayed over at his house (those of you who know my dad can understand that part). nevertheless both of them dropped us without a driver's license. that night i reached home at 2!

i am so sure my dad wanted to shout on me. but he didn't. because i brought along friends. thank god! and come on its not like i went secretly to meet some random guy right? it was fun! next morning all of us (except me) got up way past 11. i am a good girl i got up at 7.30! talk about fun night!

my favourite place!

i pass through Bandra every single day while i am going to college or otherwise and i always stare at the abnormally cheerful yellow and green skywalk at the horizon. so last Tuesday while i was supremely bored to go and follow my daily grind of going to college and coming back home, i took a pit stop. on an impulse just got down off my train and went to the skywalk. and trust me i am glad i went and now my favouritest place in whole wide world is "Bandra Skywalk"

so i love simply walking. that's what i did. its almost like 1.3 kms long. i walked the whole way and back. it was so peaceful. i totally recommend it. also its NEVER crowded. after Tuesday i think i went there thrice already. me armed with my trusty ipod go for walks whenever i get the chance. if u are in Mumbai, i would really suggest you to go there. preferably alone. spend time with yourself, you'll love it.

oh and by the way, next time if anyone cant find me most, you know where to start searching. just so you know. =)

i am an addict..

ok wait before you sit and judge me let me just tell you what i am addicted to! its ICE CREAM!!! in the past 5 days i swear i must have eaten ice cream portion equal to that of 10 people. ice cream in the morning, ice cream in the evening and every time in between.

it started on Friday, i was hungry. so i raided the fridge to find butterscotch ice cream. *claps in delight* single handedly had half a liter of the whole thing when my mother barged in to take rest of my ice cream supply. then as usual college. evening i return, again to find myself super hungry, again what do we do? we have ice cream, the remaining part of the whole family pack! never mind the fact next day i was so sick with runny nose and ice cream hangover, also the fact my mom blasted on me.



so Saturday went. (oh common i get a sick leave!) Sunday came and yet again my stomach ached to have ICE CREAM! this time it was specific. raspberry dolly. nothing else will do. evening while i was out with friends, went to Hiramani only to find they were out of raspberry dollies. so had chocobar instead. but I HAD TO HAVE RASPBERRY DOLLY! so went to another store dragging Krishma and Jaini. and there they had....my precious.....my raspberry dolly! oh i am telling you, the feeling is priceless to have ice creams 2 in a row!

well i am me. so it doesn't stop here. just half an hour ago, i got myself another ice cream despite the fact i had one 2 hrs ago! =)

i am hoping to stop this but oh gosh I JUST LOVE ICE CREAMS!
