Click-a-day

P.S.- Did I ever mention that you guys need to click on the ads. posted at the top of my blog after u have finished reading? Google pays me for that you know....I actually made USD3.20 in the last 4 months...lol

Happy Clicking!

TGIF!!

It's friday afternoon and I'm in tussle trying to concentrate at work and not to think of food...and still have weekend planning going on at the back of my mind..and have taken a few mins. off in the middle of it all to scribble smthg here...! U know what's worse than terrible winter days? It's the winter afternoon...the fog I can live with...but the afternoons which I have to spend inside a building without getting to sit outside in the sun eating groundnut or oranges are such an oppurtunity missed! Ofcourse it gets consistently harder to get out of bed in the mornings from monday to friday....on sat n sun..I will only be alive around afternoon! Yea, I almost die in the winters...I'd hibernate the whole season if I could!

Enough cribbing...I've finally decided to eat first and then work later on...so chao for now!!

Long time no blog!

Long time since ive written any decent blogs! Well here I am now, back in the new year...hopefully with a bang! 1st day of the office in 2007 and I'm writing a blog..lol..not bad, eh? sets the mood for the rest of the year...what say? Last new year was spent at Agra, visiting the Taj Mahal (dont get any ideas, it was a family & relatives affair..) so suitably, I did get to travel around a bit in 2006..covered Cochin, Calicut, Allepey backwaters, Trivandrum and Kanyakumari on a 10 day trip in Feb..then there was a trip to Mumbai..and more to Ahmedabad, Pune and Jaipur! Goa's on the agenda next..hope that works out in the new year!

I've developed quite a liking for photography as well last year...courtesy the new digicam and my friend Sinu who's a cool photographer himself..U can see the effects on the blog cos it has some random pictures too. Hey I got a new stole in peach last week and I have put some golden sequins on it...picture comming up soon! Looks pretty me thinks! Pretty as a peach...haha.

Had a whole week off in Dec. end which was spent watching movies..Kabul Express, Bhagam Bhag and the insufferable Monster House too! Also managed to sort a few things at home and throw out some clutter..slept a lot and cursed the winters...did'nt do any shopping!! Am waiting for the "off season" discound sales to start you see....:) It's probably the only advantage of having extreme climates in this city...u can keep buying a new wardrobe every season and have a very good reason for doing so.

Oh and I did buy some books in discount..Shobha De's 'Spouse', 'One Night at a Call Centre' by Chetan Bhagat...and ex-IIT guy and another called 'Anything for you ma'am'. Been reading One night...and it's a nice light read...interesting observations have been made by the writer about his fellow workers in the novel...like where he remarks that when girls laugh a lot...they are trying to flirt...lol! Loooooolll.... ;)

Orkut is boring now and feels passe with the new year...but m thinking of spending some time on Y! Ans again as I was clearing off the 450 odd emails in my inbox today out of which a 100 or so were unread...I realised a lot of people had emailed me from my contact there..and some mails were actually funny! FYI, i'm down to 200 emails in the inbox now and only bout 30 unread ones!! This can actually be a new yr's resolve u know...to clear my inbox more frequently! And I wanna be in touch with my friends more frequently too..and I might as well save some money...and lose some weight (this one's like talking of world peace!)....groan..the list of promises to break is growing...I better scram before it becomes too long to break 'em all in this year...chao!
