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. =)

xoxox

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!

why i love beaches....

so by now i am pretty sure the whole planet knows about my perennial love of beaches. today i am sitting jobless so i thought I'd make it public why i love beaches. so here are a few reasons why:


1.i am a full-on water baby. if u put me in water trust me you'd have to pull me out!

2.i love playing with sand. really.

3.walking barefoot in beach sand is totally awesome. i once went barefoot in dirty juhu beach sand willingly!

4.that salty sea smell, oh it gives me a high.

5.how can i ever forget the heavenly beach winds... *lost in thoughts*

oh god now i will have to pull someone or the other to take me to beach...

sunday!

10th august 08

ok i know i never write a day blog but i cant help it, this one i HAVE to put up! so supposedly us cousins were going to go to Lonavala which we didn't, wanna know why!? I'll tell you why, because my awesome cousins came home at 5 in the morning and were sleeping till 12! that said and done, Neha didi was at Dharmashanti, as she was going to leave for US in a day, she decided on celebrating raksha bandhan a week early.

so all my brothers in their night dresses at noon gathered at 101. rakhi wakhi done, Twisha ma'am painted Dhaval bhai and Herin bhai's face with kanku! hehe that was fun. and i got a cadbury celebration pack for nothing! we sat did time pass then i was back at home to sleep some more, because unlike my other cousin i did not sleep till 12!

while i was sleeping my parents and sister went off to shop for Moni madam's shoes. i grumbled a bit but then we have phone and dad pays bills so i was off phoning people talking random stuff. at around 8 Herin bhai called up,"nirali we are going bowling, get ready in five minutes" good i didn't make Maggie! i was just about to!

then i got ready etc in 5 minutes flat only to discover get ready in five minutes actually means take an hour. finally somehow we left home at 9. the original idea was to go to phoenix and have dinner at Bombay Blues and then CO's. but on crossing kings circle, plan abruptly changed and suddenly we were discussing from going to Flamboyante to Intercontinental to McDonald's to god alone knows where not! trust me when you are with Nipa didi and Dhaval bhai you never know where you are heading until you reach!

while everyone was busy suggesting random places me n Anuja bhabhi were laughing like mad people discussing how she does melodrama when ordering food! "if u don't send food on time, I'll faint! i am so hungry" i am so sure the subway guy near her work place knows by now who the crazy lady is! finally we were going to Flags which is this all cuisine restaurant at colaba-churchgate somewhere in town.

on getting there, we waited for a while to get a table. after the table, ordering the food is different story all together! i think we took about 15 minutes just to order the appetizers! there were polls and votes on what to order. but it was fun! though most of us didn't like all the food, i liked the pasta and hummus platter! it was fun owing to the fact my older cousins actually consider me now as an adult! =)

while returning back which was about 12 in the night, we had naturals ice cream and then again two of my crazy cousins started lets go lonavala now. long drive! guess what they did go! lol
Nipa didi + Dhaval bhai = deadly confused characters' combination!

week that was....

so last week again nothing much in my boring life excepting a cute 5 video call with my really cute niece, Raina. i am telling you she has eyes bigger than her cheeks! i made sure i sent a BRB to every person i was chatting to focus my full attention to her. she is such a sweetheart!

other than that, i made my resume! (for my college communication class) with a little help from a friend, because lets face it, i am horrible at writing cover letters and the sections which involve goals in life!

last week also i was up at JW Marriott for one day two nights. so my cousin,Nipa has come to India for a work thingy and she gets accommodation at JW, so i had basically gone to give her company. oh we saw karishma kapoor sans makeup on Sunday morning! you can imagine two cousins meeting after a long time how cool would that be. we caught up with our lives and both nights didn't sleep before 4 in the morning!

Sunday we went to santacruz for Indian wear shopping and ended up sitting 5 hrs in seasons (which happens to be Nipa Di's favorite store!) we actually reached there late because both of us got up at 12 on Sunday den half and hour each in the bathroom, actually me 15 mins, her an hour! finally went for lunch at 2 to pizza hut, but the catch was there was tooooooo much line. thank god we were just two of us, so got table easily..

that night Dhaval bhai also came over, while both of them went for a movie, i was room alone from 10 to 2! called up friends, went online n also roamed around the hotel, well i had the key didn't i! =)

rest of the week was a blur. mostly attending college and making charts (i am the creative head of my dept student committee by the way) and being online! so much from me..

till later!
