Sit Down man, You're a bloody tragedy!!

It was Raksha Bandhan on 16th aug, but since Lunar eclipse fell on that day, the occassion was celebrated on the followin monday.
Its a nice occassion honourin the brothers & sisters. I have celebrated the traditional way only twice or thrice, but I have always tied, mailed the rakhis to my cousin brothers no matter what. Although, this year its all still pending, even though my brother is in town!!

My 1st Lunar eclipse experience...
It should be said that, Lunar eclipse will start by 10:30 pm, not that it will occur at 10:30pm.
Shock followed when I found out that you arent supposed to eat or store food during this period.
Horror followed when mom told me that beggars line up the mumbai streets at night,beggin.
Despair followed when my baby refused to drink the milk I wanted him to finish before the eclipse.
Scared when I was the only one awake to witness this event with all those scary images chasing my mind(plus they were showin "Hollow man' on tv). Woke up my man friday to accompany me to the kitchen...
Back to shock when I realized that it took 2 hrs for the moon to b hidden, 2 seconds for it to appear again, which means I just missed it after all that drama!!
Turns out, only a sliver of the moon remained & it didnt vanish completely!!
Aug 27th - was a day of the two moons - my man friday tried tellin me that one was venus, but seeing that continuing the topic would send him to pluto, he kept quiet!! Now, the scheduled time for this rare occassion was 12:40am. As usual I stayed awake, until I realised I couldnt see even a single moon from my side of the apartment!! So, I slept off by 12:40am!! & missed the 6.5 richter scale earthquake which hit the place at 1am!!
Maybe my luck will change with the Solar eclipse ...

Moony Lupin - your spirits shall live on!!

Its no use! Everybody gets good enemies except me!!

It was Friendship week recently & am goin to try payin tribute to most of my friends!!

These are my pals who have been with me at various stages & are still part of my life!!

Before invasion, I had two pals during junior year - one pal was allowed to invite only friend per year for her bday party!!The other was secretly married for a yr or so and then sued her parents for some reason...

During Invasion - While in AVK, nagercoil, I met two people who became my good friends only 7 yrs later...

Divya(also my cousin) eventually married this guy who had secretly hacked my pc for about 6-7months, freakin me out.

Sajay - got me into serious trouble at college, often gangin up wit the guys. He bought me an orange(transparent) lipstick as a farewell gift.

After invasion- senior year, this part portrays me as a multiple personality character - I had about 4 groups of pals and each had nothin to do with the other and 2 groups didnt get along with the 5th person at all!!

Naureen - she drives me insane & is my oncall gynaec!! she went to egypt,met an egyptian, married him. Her wedding card had the wrong phone nos and no weddin date.

Nusrat's stayin hardly 10 minutes away & v have hardly met in over 3 yrs!! Also, she refuses to let me go to her dental clinic!!

Dimple got mad at me because I had seen her crush topless and had gotten all his school books!! now, she's married to a thakur with all the works - the horse, the sword and all...

Anita had the option of namin her daughter after me, but chose not to!!

Jubie went to India for a holiday and found herself married within 2 weeks!!

Sharon's younger sister dated my first ever crush & she couldnt wait to tell me!!

Sunil told me somethin so profound once that I tell it to all when am in a fightin mood -"when two friends fight, one should remain calm & patient, otherwise, it could ruin the friendship"

College -
Induja - The day after we were ill treated by a prof... v went to see Dum Dum Dum to rid our sorrows & it worked wonders!!

Lenin - He was a pal of my crush, so v avoided him, but he turned out to b a fun guy.

Jayanth - Epal - v met over a fwd about Urban legend & used to chat almost every night. He later married a girl who shared my first name!!
Anju - Am glad we became pals!! Despite the fact we didnt know eachother initially(& i was asked to avoid her), she still gave me a lift home after our photography classes. turns out we are 3rd generation of family friends!!she's like this whirlwind of entertainment - the getogethers, drives, movies, food, tv series!!

Kavitha - She reminds me of Mona Lisa - that serene smile, but a fountain of mystery beneath!! I dont think I have ever been so frustrated by anyone more!! always scribblin on the desks with her quotes or lyrics!!

Together, the 3 of us have discussed anatomy on tissues, nicknamed crushes to the extent of "chappal guy", done assignments listening to nursery rhymes, watched "Counterfiet contessa",freaked out my crush and gave a few a hard time!!
