List For December ♥

December is one of my favourite months in the year. A big reason is because of Christmas and there's something in the air that always keeps me smiling (sparkly Christmas cider dust, perhaps?). That and the fact that Christmas is a magical time, you feel like spreading the ♥ more than usual et cetera. Plus the weather in Bombay is so good (yeah baby, 19 degrees and it's dropping lower). It's like I want to go outside in a vest and catch a cold. I'm literally doing that. I mean, I just waxed; what do you expect? I can't let it all go to waste. Economics, you see? So yeah, I get to wear my cool new clothes and I'm really feeling excited about this whole new 'fashion' aspect. I suddenly seem to wanna dress up well, have a definitive style rather just dress up boho and of the beach-bum variety kinds. Okay, so I really also thought I'd get inked this month on account of the season, the time and everything else but not sure. Funds are moving toward the negative half of my scale. Anyway, here's a to-do list for myself, for the month of December to be accomplished (I'll strike out the ones I complete as soon I can)!

1. Complete POP snowman
2. Find true love ♥ (sure, sure, why not? That's just the sarcastic me talking but yes, I really wanna)!
3. Paint TT's coasters X 2
4. Wear new clothes to work
5. Get reindeer antlers
6. Christmas greetings for office colleagues
7. Gift for Emily & Chloey
8. Read: Haroun & The Sea Of Stories
9. Make funky necklace with silver beads
10. Find craft-box
11. Wash the Converse-like ballets
12. Write a Tinkle story
13. Sell Fallen & Keep The Change
14. Make out with a hottie under the mistletoe!
15. Try to make eggnog with Mr. D
16. Make four Christmas ornaments

P.S. I'll add more to the list. I know I'm forgetting a lot of things so yeah!

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!
