Anyhting N Everything To Anything N Everything

On friday, I started typing a post which halfway through, went into a direction of its own and I decided not to publish it. The post was about how moronic I find it when people compare anything and everything to just about anything and everything. Okay. Allow me to explain. I have read bloggers writing about how clothes are like friendships, and food is like makeup or relationships are like cities and all sorts of rubbish analogies which make no sense whatsoever. To illustrate my point, I started on an entirely mind-numbing example - how friends are like teas. The ones that are perfect for spending time with every morning is the english breakfast. The strong, silent ones who almost shock you, are the earl grey. The ones that leave a bad taste in your mouth but are still healthy for you, the herbal green tea. Half way through that example I realised I was making way too much sense in my example that I should be making to prove my point. And that is why, my dears, I deleted that draft. Because I was actually making a brilliant case of why we COULD compare anything and everything to anything and everything. But that is okay... not everyone can do it as brilliantly as I do. Uh huh.

Watched 'Devil wears Prada' on friday night, and absolutely loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Must watch. Was saying about that movie to a friend,he had the same opinion.Even the guys liked it. What can I say?
The Basilica de Notre Dame I want it.Will buy it one day and frame it...ufff... Anyone who will complain about the non-availability of jigsaws, please head to Puzzle World in Micro Centre. And do buy me the Monet if you feel extremely generous.
The puzzle, of course! *wink*
The hotel people were very sweet to fix in a DVD player in my room. So now one does not need to stay holed up inside the room to watch movies on the laptop. One shall make use of the comfy sofa covered with comforters and sit and enjoy all the downloaded seasons of Friends.
There is a song that stuck my head. Here's hoping that they stick to you too.

Kahan Kise Ke Liye Hai Mumkin
Sab Ke Liye Ek Sa Hona
Thoda Sa Dil Mera Bura Hai
Thoda Bhala Hai Seene Mein
Awaarapaan Banjarapaan
Ek Hala Hai Sine Mein

bibliophile........

I finished reading Paul Carter's Dont tell mom I work on the rigs this wekend. A funny and easy read about life with an oil company. He writes about gun-ridden Nigeria and blossoms of Japan with the same ease. It almost has a travel book flavour... maybe that is why I liked it. I decided to pick up the next new book on my list... I went ahead and chose Maximum City , to read about Bombay. I've been tempted to read it since I saw it on GG's book list. Will start on that today. Also, yesterday I got my long overdue birthday gift(From GG sent all the way from India) - Fly Solo: The 50 best places on earth for a girl to travel alone.

How very appropriate and how adorable! I love her and the book to bits now. It is part of my rapidly increasing travel collection. It will now sit alongside 1000 Places to see before you die, Maximum City, And talking about travel, I am trying to book a short trip to Texas next month... fingers crossed!
