Beauty lies

"You are beautiful", he murmured, black eyes gazing intensely into mine.

I turned around and looked to my left and right. 'Wonder who he was talking to'I thought idly.

He put a finger under my chin and lifted my face up to meet his still intense gaze. "Yes, you. You are beautiful. You are."

I thought he had finally taken leave of his senses. I pushed my thick eye-glasses firmly up my nose and looked at him in mild annoyance.

"For the last time, I am NOT going to do your homework for you" I declared pompously.

"Darn", he grinned, "it was worth a try anyway", and gobbled up the rest of his tiffin box.

Much ado about nothing

Ever tried stuffing your butt into a pair of jeans three sizes too small? That seems to be the story of my life lately. I always am at a loss to know whether I shall fit into tomorrow what I am fitting into today. But then, variety is the spice of life isn't it?

No more spices for me thank you. I am on a diet.

The day I gobbled up a whole plateful of biryani

oooooooooo........don't ask me anything else.....I'm still sitting in the loo.

Shady Shades

So, remember how the monkeys snatched my fancy glares? I went for 2 months without any. Then I decided that I had to get my lazy butt off the couch and do some legwork. I called up my old faithful shop.

Just my luck - the technician who had made my eyeglasses (and that's another long story for another day) had quit and opened a business of his own. I decided to go to him directly and get my new shades made.

I had a hard time finding his shop and an even harder time finding something that would suit my face. All those fancy shmancy glasses made me look like batman. After an hour of scouring the shop (and I can recollect with distinct clarity the sigh of relief) I found one that didn't make me look like an alien. Quick orders were placed and I waited impatiently over the next few days to get my brand new glasses.

He got it all wrong. I couldn't see a thing. The power was wrong, the fitting was wrong, there was a chip in a lens, just about everything was off. I was pissed. He gave me a fancy story about curvature and I then selected a pair of nerdy looking frames and asked him to redo the whole thing at no extra cost.

He agreed and within 2 days, delivered the new shades to my house.

They work.

I am protected from the sunlight.

I also look like an alien.

It was the brightest full moon of the decade. I was really excited. Tried real hard to get some pics. Check out my photoblog to see what I managed to capture!

YAWN. I don't quite know what all that hoopla is all about. Its not even an interesting movie. And does it have any 3D effects at all? No sir-ee! Mr Cameroon please look at the dictionary the next time before you start with the script. While you are at it, try getting someone to write a story too.
