Snatch

Yesterday I watched Snatch for the fifth time and could not stop myself from falling off the chair laughing.
My God! Its so funny!
I now HAVE to get hold of Guy Ritchie's other movie..."Lock stock and two smoking barrels".

Ho Hum....

This is the toughest thing about writing a blog. Figuring out its title.
So Ho Hum...

I have not posted in a long while (as if anyone is waiting with bated breath..) because one fine morning, I got up, yawned, rubbed my eyes, padded over to my study and turned the computer on. My nostrils were refreshed by a smell of burning plastic. Turns out that the SMPS of my computer decided to throw the towel in. One DAEWOO chip in it is all black.
Looks like getting another SMPS is going to be much more painless than hunting for that elusive chip. Now since my proactiveness in household matters is legendary, the box in my study has been lying as a box for the last month or so.
Meanwhile I have had fun. Went to Kerala (beautiful place...will write about it sometime when I decide to put all my travelogues online...), went to Delhi for a whirlwind trip (My! How thin have you become ....exclaimed Mummy....and then she promptly let a barber loose on my hair which had just decided to form itself into a pony-tail-like shrub) and had an even more whirlwind trip to Hyderabad.
Also, I got roomies to relieve my loneliness.....a whole hive of bees. I have been at my wits' end as to how to regain my loneliness back!

This is rather funny. For a fortnight before that fateful morning, I had been flitting all around India and Bangalore. The only thing I did at home was catch a nap before hopping off elsewhere. So I get this morning free. I wake up, stretch myself, pick up a book (Icon..Steve Jobs' biography) and walk over to my study balcony. I hunch over the railing and start reading. A bee whizzes by my face angrily, I recoil only to find a HUGE hive not six inches from where my head had been.... That balcony has been an out-of-bounds area since then. If you are reading this and are a well-wisher, just pray that I can get someone who will break that hive and let me loose on that balcony again.....

Ciao
