Pensée

Mates, Dates, Guide to life is proving to have worthy tips on boys and the like! : ) But I still need to ask C my other doubts and stuff to contribute to my extensive study on the malelular-half of my species. Plus, my ice-breaking abilities suck and since there’s no chance of me becoming an x-woman soon with powers to melt ice and its metaphorized variations, well, yeah I need to go the traditional way.

Mira thinks my display pic is cool, I mean, she thinks I’m finally picking up the pace, graphic designing-wise! Also, the Sketch Book is really helping me as I draw rough layouts and work it out on the computer later on. In fact, I randomly just created a book-coverish illustration outta a picture I clicked and I like how it looks!

The place, Ignitee, where I went for an interview wasn’t too bad. This is my take on it:

LOCATION : Ok, Could get pretty floody in the rains.
BUILDING : Scary, ghost-ish, Devoid of Souls.
LOBBY : Pretty not bad.
RECEPTIONIST : Friendly.
INTERIORS : Pretty vast than what I expected, Not so bad.
INTERVIEWER : Simple, wise, Straight-forward, No superficiality or added airs.
STATUS FOR NOW : Awaiting Feedback.

However, last night, I sent my resume to a very cool and colorful place, C* and it’s awesome and it really is so me! I think it would be great to learn from there and get experienced as well. I hope I get an interview with them, to say the least. I’ve been thinking of a new-ish idea, all due to Ketz…(relating to Rosecraft)!

I have two paintings to my credit now, and I like the Abstract One more than the Butterfly, I think it’s quite cool and that I could do more paintings like that.

I’m really missing partying or rather dinner-socializing, there was one on Sunday but I just couldn’t make it : (
I miss going to college and seeing everyone and talking to everyone! I wish we were close right from the first year on or we had more time together. It’s strange that most of the bigger half of my class don’t really keep in touch but I wish we would, I really do, it sort became like a family, you know, an extended one, that you need to keep talking to and telling/asking about their lives but some don’t really care. That’s not cool at all.

Also, a letter to my dying friend...(who can post-pone his succumb-er to a great tad).

Eric, my love,

I took you in my home when you had none. Hell, I paid to take you home. I've loved you like the boyfriend I've never had, I love HP too but he's different. I treated you well. I laughed with you. We smiled as we listened to some our favorite songs together. Let's not forget the games we played...Prince of Persia, Frankenstein etc. You helped me when I had no one to look out for me. And I did the same for you when people thought you weren't worthy. Even in trying times, we made it through. Just can you try to fight back some more for me? Please live some more. A friend like you has really beeen price-ful but I don't care because I love you. Just don't die yet. It's not your time.

Love,

You know who.

P.S. I designed the pic in this. The bookish-cover like Illustration? Yup, that's it.

Top 5 Meals For a True-Blue Foodie

Are you a foodie? Do you love chicken enough that you want to indulge in its deliciousness? Here are five chicken meals in Mumbai that I have found to be very worthy and completely lip-smackable. Try them out, yourselves!

1. Chicken Steak with Mushroom Sauce: You can eat this delectable delight at Candies Outlets at Bandra. Not only is the mushroom sauce to die for, it’s the sautéed veggies that are scrumptious too. It’s all served on a platter along side fries and a complimentary salad of your choice (Chicken Potato/Chicken Macaroni/Garden Salad). Priced at 100 Rs., it’s definitely affordable.

2. Chicken Shawarma at Piccadilly’s: How many times have you felt that you haven’t tasted the Middle-eastern goodness of a Shawarma in Bombay? Fear not, I have the place for you at Piccadilly’s on Colaba Causeway. It’s the next best place after the Middle East that transpires the awesome Lebanese flavor through their shawarma. Their garlic sauce is pretty great too and you can keep dipping your pickled veggies in it!

3. Roast Chicken at Café Mondegar (Colaba Causeway): This meal has got it all. Equipped with sautéed veggies in a mouth-watering sauce, this leg of roast chicken will pack you with a punch. It is served with fries and a loaf of toasty garlic bread alongside the chicken. Mm-mmm!

4. Spinach Chicken Garlic Pizza from Santino’s, In Orbit Mall: This very unique pizza flavoring and topping is fantastic, the moment you take a bite, your mouth fills your senses with the rich flavors of the garlic and the yummy chicken pieces and makes you wanna chomp your way through the experience. You can also opt for a Slice and Fries Meal Combo if that’s the way you like it!

5. Mama’s Steak Burger at Mama Mia’s: This has to be the juiciest and very satisfying burger in all of Bombay! Strategically placed chicken steak in sauce between the breads and crunchy veggies and a side platter of yummy fries, it truly is delicious. (Note: Do try the cheese garlic bread topped with chicken as a side-starter, too, its food that makes you feel good).

If your tummy feels a little stuffed after it all, here’s the best part: work it out! Because all of these places are either located next to a promenade or at malls where you have to walk a bit before you get to your car and home. Do check them out when you need a new place to eat from your regular haunts and revel in its feel-good awesomeness!

In an imaginary rocket to space...

Um, I guess it's okay, sure, life will suck and then you don't even get to die... and I know it sounds corny but it's also because there are sooo many folks who love you! Not only corny-ish, that totally didn't any make sense to me, but I'm gonna blog it anyway. Not because I'm crazy but cuz I can.

The picture I've uploaded along with this post has no relevation whatsoever, it's my messy shelf in my cupboard but my favorite shelf nonetheless and it's colorful and looks pretty as a fresco! Well, yeah, ok if it's true and they are going to diss me off, it's fine, sure, it'll suck, I'll be bummed, I'd cry but I'll be cool (in some time possibly). Just need to really start looking in other places faster and make sure that they happen and not just talk about them. I'm glad I bought a Sketch-Book for my art-work, it'll help me. Now, all I gotta do is pay the fees and start some serious painting. You know, it'll be too bad if I don't get to give in Nandini's interview before I get kicked off cuz she was so excited, I was, too and now it'll just fizz out on us. But some other grass on another side, then. My lappie has 24% battery power left and I have no wish to plug in the charger so I'll see you around. Thanks for listening, it helps me suck it up and smile. :) Be cool.

I blame Reliance

I’ve just managed to affirm that I’ve been incredibly stupid. The past two weeks that I abstained from facebook didn’t work at all very well. I’ve still somehow managed to rack up a huge bill of 1,317.64 Rs. I am sooo dead! This has happened a few times before but have I learnt my lesson? No, No, No, Noooope. So now I have to pay the price. Possibly from my much awaited cheque of 2,000 from UTV. Sucks, I tell you. And my boss hasn’t been responding much to my e-mails and stuff which has got me thinking, does she think I’m over-enthusiastic and she can’t have any of that? But I write well, and on time, I want more work and now in such a testing case and a trying time, I definitely need the money. I didn’t go for my interview for Jr.Copywriter with Ignitee today. Well, it rained really hard. Plus, it’s a different direction completely. I would never want to work for an ad agency full-fledgedly and for same old sucky clients. Its magazines I’m more inclined to. Print Graphics, Illustrations, Package Design, Stationery..that kinda stuff. And all I’m thinking about is how I’m going to pay my f***ing internet bill. Shit. I hate Reliance. It freaking sucks (Oh yeah, I love blaming someone else for my problems, but in this case, it holds true, the staff at Reliance sucks. They can’t speak fricking English. Are they trained well-enough or well-informed about their services? No, I believe that they aren’t. I mean, you can’t hire random people, throw them into crappy uniforms and make them by-heart some info if they have no physical know-how of how it works. They also should learn how to deal with customers). Who has to pay for all this crap? Ironically, me. When I want to change my net tariff plan, I believe their system is fucked up. But when I have to cough up the cash, their machines work pretty fine to me. They suck.

Ah, enough of my rants, I will do something about this, believe you me, this rant isn’t empty and I will make sure I have my way with those freaks.
Anyway, I can’t wait to watch the Half-Blood Prince this week and it’s going to be super-fantastic! : ) Oooh, and Margo had her baby, she’s really cute and rumor has it that she has the adorablest dimples! Also, I have two chapters left in The Hungry Tide and I’ll be sad when the book’s over. I hope nothing bad happens even though they are on the brink of a cyclone right now. I hope Kanai, Piya, Fokir and Horen are all fine. I was surprised to learn that Arup has read the book as well and he too, thinks it’s brilliant and he told me that Amitav has set up an NGO for the Irrawady and Gangetic Dolphins in the Sunderbans. Awesome, right? Must tell Ashwita this. Also, it felt good to speak to Miaaaow for so long yesterday, I really want to watch The Hangover with her, too. Plus, I need to cough up bucks for my FA painting classes…yay! : ) Btw, I have become a twitter-hoe from the looks of it. I’m very ashamed to admit, cuz while I abstained from facebook, I sought my solace with twitter. Shucks, I need a keeper to tame me of my wanton ways. Oooh, and I really want to go partying! It’s been really long and I just wanna take a few of my girlfriends and Costa* out for a night of fun. And I’ve been crushing really, ever so hard on Liberacci* but who knows where the sea shall take us? I do wish we talked more or he was around or something. Damn stupid karma and life-trip-ups.
I want to go to the BWSL but I don’t have a car. Yet.

You keep me in check, Universe. Kisses.
