Daddy Long Legs

Dear Daddy Long-Legs,

Day 3: Still suffering from the cold and sleepless nights..and today, m suffering from hunger pangs too but lunch is a good hour away..

Ofcourse there's work to do at office..will people please stop asking me if I do any work or get paid for free? U know daddy, I wanted to go shopping last evening but I guess i'll be going next week now cos I don't really feel upto it right now. M still wondering what to buy for a few close friends for diwali! Maybe I'll get some good ideas in the market but the problem is that I can't even look at the shops and show windows as I walk by cos I have to look out for the crowds and the cars n bikes on the road or the market corridor instead!

And daddy, how bout organising a lunch at home pre-diwali?

Your's truly,

VS

P.S.- This letter is a dedication to Jean Webster, the author of DADDY LONG LEGS...really cute! I dont know how she wrote an entire novel full of letters ...I could'nt write one damn para. :(

Mid-night Sojourn

I'm not usually so much of a dedicated blogger that I'd sit up at 2 am and write a blog but today m having a bit of a cold and my little Ms. Nosey would not stop pestering me & therefore here I am! I don't know whether to keep the AC on or off cos while Ms. Nosey is not so pleased with it, the rest of me will devour it's effects quite gladly. Maybe someone will some day make a detachable nose? Anyone from IIT listening? I wanted to believe that the cold is a result of the paint job being done at home but the truth is that it's an allergy I've triggered myself and quite knowingly at that..! :(
So here I am, after watching "The Mummy Returns" for the 'n'th time (it's soo cute), taking a walk in the driveway n talking to a friend, exchanging SMSes with friends, reading Seema Goswami in Brunch about why today's generation can't be caught dead in the kitchen and tossing in the bed for an hour with my red nose (and t-shirt to match incidentally) ! That reminds me, I saw some awesome silver jewellery n t-shirts on a shopping site...so I'll just shop around till I drop I guess...which is probably going to be at about 4am now...thank u e-commerce...I luv u with all my nose..:)
U know what, I just spotted a black n white dengue mosquito in this room..let me just run n get the anti-mosquito spray.....bye!
