Darling December

Who would've ever thought that World Aids Day would bring so much meaning in to my life? I mean, I go for an interview. My first interview, mind you, after coming back. And I get the job! :) So as of now, I'm Junior Content Writer for the website: www.burrp.com... Check it out! It's totally cool and has all the stuff comprising nearly everything I love : sampling great food, writing reviews, thinking up new ideas, watching movies, meeting new people, getting out of my shell and yes, learning new things! And of course, all of this while having the best time. Ironically, this has happened when I least expected it to. You know, how I've been ranting all the while on my blog about not having a job, going for all the interviews that didn't get me one, trying my best to write for a magazine, trying to get in to art-school etc (and none of them happened)!

Well, somehow, 2009 has managed to pay it all off. I mean, I did new things, I learnt, I saw! I learnt how to go to Sophia's, I took up painting classes (I love painting on huge canvases now), I learnt how to emboss a design on a metal sheet, I learnt a new technique of making papier mâché, I had my first Rosecraft Exhibition at Candies! I freelanced as a content writer for Bindass these past six months and it was a joyful journey; every minute exciting. So all in all, this year was super-fast and yet somehow slow in making things happen but it's finally happened nonetheless.

And I couldn't be more happy or thrilled or excited all at the same time! :)

So here's to more things for me. Btw, on burrp blah, we all write under pseudo names so all articles by the same person aren't written by me. For eg, Tina handles movies and Suzanne handles fashion! I think that's a super cool concept! So read my first write-up that I did yesterday as Tina.

P.S. Everyone here is super-helpful, I haven't acquainted much with them as yet but the work atmosphere is huge-spacey and totally great for me. My boss, Aarti is really cool too. She's helpful, open-minded, sweet and at the same time, principled and she's the kind that everyone likes - she's not at all bossy or demanding- yet somehow she isn't someone that you will ever walk over because she is great! Ok, too much excitement can only head for a downfall right? I'll shut up now.

Oooh, one last thing, my mom's sent cookies for me and my sister! (Just when I was telling Ranvijay that I've been craving them :) WEE!

A Diary Entry-Sorts...

I think that I’m finally facing the many monsters in my closet. I mean, last night (15-04, for the records) for the first time in two weeks or more, I slept with the lights off. I don’t know if it was my electricity bill of last month which propelled me to do so or sheer bravery in the face of invisible monsters. I’m not freaking myself out silly over the lack of a job, a boyfriend… The latter half is something that I’ve honestly hoped would start chasing me than me chasing whoever the hell he is. And wherever he might be. Residing in the cool Bermudas or the depths of Egypt or among the structures at Greece… I like to be optimistic! I’m finally gonna take Gabe off the wall and will start playing him today. I’ve got the chords to ‘I’m yours’ by Jason Mraz. I still remember C, G, Am but F’s gonna be a tough cookie to break. My finger-tips have been far too delicate for a long time now. I’m meeting Qyara after a long time today… Can’t wait to hear more stories of Akansha, and discuss how romantic Edward Cullen is. I’ve got her hooked on to the Twilight Series too. It feels good to spread the love. Okay, I need to shower before I meet her so adios, invisible friends. You know I love you!

Later (The Next Day) -----

We went to the Beach! : ) I haven’t been to a beach in so long and it felt good to be there. Being at the beach is definitely a healthy feeling, the glittery and gritty sand, the sea-spray, the sky, the clouds, the birds, the breeze etc. really make you feel good. I showed Qyara the cool Accent feature that we have on our cameras and we had fun experimenting with it. We sat till the sunset but it was really difficult to capture the orange sun in a pretty picture as it gradually disappeared into the foamy sea and it made me wish I had an SLR or a really high-definition camera just for the same.

And she had the tenth installment of the Princess Diaries, so she lent it to me, I was super-excited about it and I still am. I hope Michael and Mia get back together cuz J.P, her new boyfriend is a shithead!

The Princess Diaries is an amazing series, and yeah, it pretty much seems like a book for teens, it is to an extent, but hello, even older people can read it too. I mean, Meg Cabot wrote the Series, and she isn’t exactly a teen so you can’t feel ashamed if you’re 23 and reading it just cuz it makes you happy. Some of you can even relate to Mia – She’s a shy and awkward teen with a fierce love to write and make a difference. She worries about the silliest things but it makes you laugh because you know you’ve been there, too! I know I do. Most of us are really awkward while growing up and I feel that, even now and I think I’ll always be that girl who hates attention of any kind, who loves to write and just be the same person. It’s always been a different kind of popularity I hope to attain, more of making a difference or being passionate about something and doing it right, like I’m generally very deathly afraid of crowds and public speaking but if it were my Rosecraft Ideas I had to talk about or Global Warming, that’s the kind of stuff I can talk about without feeling like I’m going to die or disappear into the ground. Anyway, I’m digressing…. I haven’t written or should I specifically say, hand-written in my actual journal for so long. In fact, I’ve started writing here more than there. And this is not totally a public journal but it makes me happy to write here and it’s not the fact that I would like my friends to read it, in fact very few people even know I write here but it’s more of the fact that it makes you feel nice when strangers read it and share their thoughts with you which is why it is also amazing to bump into really cool blogs by other awesome writers. : )

Anyway, before I headed home last night, I met Bouncie at Andheri St and we chatted for quite a while before leaving for home, it was nice to meet her and just talk since she’s been busy with work otherwise and she somehow looks really pretty every time I see her or maybe her hair-cut always makes her look fresh or something. We had milkshakes and discussed our lives pure 22 style!

P.S. Btw, Michael and Mia did get back together and it's been an awesome finish to the series! :)
