Dude, where are my eggs?

This is the 21st century and well, the world is gettin crazier by the second!!
These days, every word, even two letter words have double meanings, so much such that am suprised people havent opted to converse in sign languages!!

My man friday and myself had gone shoppin over the weekend and to make a long story short, we kinda forgot to take our egg tray which the attender having broken a few had gone to replace. The next day I squeeze my way thru the heavy crush at the mall to the lost & found and
"Excuse me, I lost my eggs here yesterday, did u find them?" Mam, Where did u loose ur eggs?How many eggs were there? Could u please sign here sayin that u have recieved your eggs intact!!

Somebody just rang up for my colleague and asked to be called back on his extension number - Trouble one !!

It isnt that am Lazy, its just that I dont like Work!!

Inspired by Kavitha's & Anju's post, I surfed this site in order to keep myself from hittin the panic button regardin an approachin deadline!! What followed kinda backfired on my emotions!!
Here's a li'l background info about myself - Two things that have drastically changed in the past few years are my Hair and my Eating habits.
Where once I had thick curly hair, I now have thick straight hair. I can literally swear by Schwarzkopf shampoo/conditioner/hair regenerator - they really are God sent!!
Where once I was skele-thin... I, now am being badgered to stay off food!! However, my theme for this year is to try out as many different varieties of food as often as possible! So far, I've tried Thai food(too spicy), Egyptian(had bird eye soup),Crabsticks salad, squids, kalamary, prawns head...

Gettin back to the Quizes...



Grey's Anatomy- I really like this series !!
We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?


Love my Sophia Loren and H&M low neck top!!have one top that is yet to come out of the closet!! & yeah i have become a big Spendthrift at times!!


Scrubs -Dont like him much- he over acts...but dead on the target!!



Am so NOT milhouse!! I was aiming for bart or Lisa!! that is absolutely wrong!!
though I am asked to grow up a lot!! Wonder Y??


Dont worry Simon, I wouldnt put anybody through that ever!!



I do pick out the wrong guys!!but they are drop dead gorgeous ...so it kinda balances the scale!!


Quick witted, funny, sarscatic and annoyin(?)hmm...
Workaholic?Only when under pressure!!


Gilmore Girls -
Sookie: I should not be a parent. Lorelai: Sookie. Look at me. There are many people in this world who should not have been parents. Mr. and Mrs. Hitler might have taken a pass at procreating. The Bin Ladens could have watched TV that night.But... you. No way. You're going to be a great parent.


Some more quotes from Gilmore Girls :

Luke: Taylor, no, no, no, no, and every day from now on 'til the end of my life, I am gonna come in here and say, "Taylor, no." And when I die, I'm gonna have them freeze me next to Ted Williams, and when they find the cure to what I died of and they unfreeze me, my first words are gonna be, "How's Ted?" followed closely by, "Taylor, no."
----
Reverend: The church is exempt from your town statutes, Taylor.
Rabbi: We answer to a higher authority... like the hot dog.
Reverend: I laugh every time you say that.
Rabbi: I know. Funny is funny.
Taylor: Well, I can guarantee that God does not want this either.
Reverend: Did you hear that, David? Taylor Doose is in direct communication with God.
Rabbi: Thirty years I'm working for God, I haven't received so much as a card.
Reverend: Is it by phone that you speak with him, Taylor?
Rabbi: Do you have a God phone, Taylor?
Taylor: Rabbi, please.
Reverend: What's he like? For us common folk who've never met him?
Rabbi: Is he short, is he tall?
Reverend: Does he like to laugh?
Rabbi: Is the whole shellfish thing really serious? Because, I gotta tell you, some of these Red Lobster commercials...

ArchAngels Vs Cookies

What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God
Vs
Its got to be David Vs David for the American Idol 2008 finale. David Archuleta and David Cook have it all going for them from the very start, after all they both can sing their way through the phonebooks straight into our hearts. Sayesha simply doesnt stand a chance against these two. Archuleta with his perpetual look of amazed wonder and Cook with his shy smile and modesty.
For me Idol's all about the comments and the banter between Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell. Like during yesterday's show, after David Cook's judge's choice, Simon says..."First round goes to Cook & Cowell."
My Idol favourites so far are :
David Archuleta - who am rooting for!!David Cook,Jordin Sparks, Melinda Dolittle, Lakisha Jones, Taylor Hicks, Elliot Yamin, Kelly Pickler, Ace Young and few more!! Ryan Seacrest ofcourse!!
Some Idol snippets:
*Archuleta's dad's been banned from the rehearsing auditorium;
*Cook's elder brother has brain cancer;
*Michael John's exit was a shocker, which'll re-ignite the rascist controversies again;
*Amanda Overmyer's mom looks younger than amanda, who herself looks over 30 not her 24;
*Luke Menard, who's a carpet layer, looks like Patrick Dempsey from Grey's Anatomy and has been diagonised with cancer;
*Danny Noriega is a confirmed gay and Rossie O Donell offered to send him on a gay cruise;
*Last year-2007- it shoud have been Jordin Sparks Vs Melinda Doolittle in the finale;
*Elliot Yamin's mother(who won the Mother of the Year award in 2006) died this year. & I simply love his latest song " Wait For You";

*Fantasia's become real fat and ugly...you should've seen Simon's expression when she performed during the Idol's ellimination round before Sayesha's exit.
*Simon's first girlfriend called him up on the Idol chat to talk about his first kiss;
* Paula had to go for therapy after season 1 of Idols, thanx to Simon;


* I loved the 2006 American Idol top 12... they were the best top 12 ever....
*Simon & Ryan sometimes rehearse being rude to eachother!!









*Simon to Ryan, 2007 Idol - "Ryan, come out of the closet already"!!









* Now really, who should come out!!!
*Y do they give him so much importance?


* This is what comes to my mind everytime I hear Carrie Underwood's " Jesus Take the Wheel"










Ps: I Just found out - Davids are in the Finale!!!! yipeeeeee

U squeeze my tears out

Wrinkle Free
I am a television freak and have watched as many sane and insanely funny sitcoms and dramas as possible.
On the very day my final semester exams were done with, I got hooked onto one hindi sitcom - Kyunki Saas bhi kabhi Bahu thi ( Because the mother in law was once a daughter in law too)in particular thanx to a nearly deaf neighbour.
The story has skipped ahead by 10-20 yrs thrice so far and still maintains this grandma who is rumoured to be 150-200 yrs old. There are great grandparents who haven’t aged either by looks or canes.
The actress playin the protagonist's role (Tulsi -the main daughter in law), finally left the show after a 1000 odd episodes. With a new actress in, the script had to be rewritten, cats were bought in as props and hopefully, I shall be rid of this serial madness.
The re-incarnation of the character Tulsi is obviously another face,another figure. And that’s when the insanity begins. A cat loving, eerie dude barges in claiming her to be his beloved wife and here, starts another saga where she has to proove herself.
What am wondering is that this Tulsi character is supposedly 60 +yrs and the guy claiming to be her husband is obviously is his mid 40’s, meaning his wife to be around same age. So, while no one there has realized this point, this has had a profound effect on me...how do v really proove a person's age?
FYI, the original Tulsi has returned to the show and so, am hooked on to it again, even if only to gauge the width of her hips & her shoulder blades!! also, the storyline has got meanin again!!

Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!!



Through the jongole I am went
On shooting Tiger I am bent


Boshtaard Tiger has eaten wife
No doubt I will avenge poor darling's life

Too much quiet, snakes and leeches
But I not fear these sons of beeches

Hearing loud noise I am jumping with start
But noise is coming from damn fool's heart

Taking care not to be fright
I am clutching rifle tight with eye to sight

Should Tiger come I will shoot and fall him down
Then like hero return to native tow
n

Then through trees I am espying one cave
I am telling self - "Bannerjee be brave"

I am now proceeding with too much care

From far I smell this Tiger's lair

My leg shaking, sweat coming, I start pray
I think I will shoot Tiger some other day

Turning round I am going to flee
But Tiger giving bloody roar spotting Bengalee

He bounding from cave like footballer Pele
I run shouting " Kali Ma tumi kothay gele"

Through the jongole I am running
With Tiger on my tail closer looming

I am a telling that never in life
I will take risk again for my damn fool wife!!!!!

Let the Music Heal Your Heart




Once there was a difference between MTv India & MTv International and the 'Grind' was on only 'after hours'.

But now, like Ross (Friends) said " Everyday's a Lesbian day " !!

While the music is certainly catchy, the lyrics confound me!!

What happened to the likes of Jingle bells, Do re me??

My radio DJ recently said she wont play a requested song because she didnt want the people(kids in general)out there to listen to it.

With these few songs, i rest my case:
Nelly Furtado featuring Justin Timbaland - Promiscuous
Pussycat Dolls featuring Snoop Dog - Buttons

Pussycat Dolls - Beep
Snoop Dog - Sensual Seduction
Rihanna - Unfaithful
Fergie - Fergalicious

Truth Hurts - Addictive
Destiny's Child - Bootylicious
i found the lyrics of this song(by Taylor Smith) to be really cute...
He's the reason for the tear drops on my guitar, The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star. He's the song in the car, i keep singing, dont know y i do.

My 2007

January -
I wasn’t going to get my shampoo after all as my dad cancelled his Paris trip (yeah, I use only one brand of shampoo, directly from Paris). & thus unfolds my year of 2007.
February -

Was in India for two hectic weeks of non stop activities, travelling and fun in preparation of my sister’s wedding. Got complimented on my unnatural glow and got knowing/questionin looks from all elders.
Returned back to work with a mighty hangover which stuck to me with a vengeance so much such that I had to hire cooks.

March -

I just became more delusional and light headed, earning the nick name – Sleepy head at work, frustrated my boss to no ends, he kept asking…"What’s wrong with u?" Oh, how I longed to find the reason for my sudden fatigue!!
April -

Found the culprit – a not so tiny spark of life (almost 3 months) within me was creating all the havoc. Suddenly the ever present, persistent hunger pangs, the nightly nature calls and waking up drenched in sweat all made sense.
May -

Got rid of the cooks as the best cook had returned … MOM & the feasts started pouring in...
June -

Summer started wit a bang of 35 degrees and above. Rearranged the desks at work so that I could accommodate my bulging tummy.
July -
The rearrangement came back to bite me as it was even hotter inside the office for me. My tummy started to serve as my table, only the baby didn’t share my point of view and kept showerin me with a plethora of kicks.
August -
Could go through two burgers and still be hungry in an hour’s time!! I was soo enjoying this. The baby liked kicking my liver (must have thought it to be a football). Finally exchanged desks at work (forcefully).
September -
Was all set to go into premature labour as the idea appealed to me. Hate being predictable!! By now, I had gained about 20 kilos. My wedding ring wouldn’t budge.
October -
Due date shifted from 15th to 17th to 19th to 21st Oct. Feet got so swollen, couldn’t stand. Tummy got so huge, I couldn’t rest. Sister came from Australia, next my grandparents, then my in laws… all set to welcome the newcomer by Oct 15th.
HE enters my (the) world on 25th Oct 2007. I enter a state of shock.
November -
I am started on strict diet and a weird bath routine. The baby has everyone under his little finger. The 28th day function – naming ceremony – he's the Perfect Guest of Honor. My sister, after teaching the baby to dance and endless Boyzone songs(BSB didnt have much lullabies...surprisingly), leaves.
December -
My 41 days of acute suffering surprisingly comes to an end on the 43rd day after delivery. Baby’s first outing to celebrate his parent’s anniversary – he sleeps through it all!! Whew!!
He sleeps through Christmas as well as New year’s night!!
