The Non-Facebook Post #67

In the shower! In the shower! In the shower!
That's where they come! The ideas!

And, so, let's "give it your best shot."

'Masti mein rahe dooba dooba hamesha samaa,
Humko raahon mein yunhin milti rahe khushiyaan...'

The Non-Facebook Post #65

This conversation with a witty nine year old:
"So, what color do you want the walls of your room to be?"
"Umm, black and white."
"Well, you might as well just buy a zebra instead and hang it up there."
LOL!
"No, not striped walls. Maybe three walls white and one wall black."
"Well, you might as just take a zebra and make it larger and hang it up there! "
LOL!

And,

"So, your phone fell into the toilet?"
"Yes"
"While there was stuff in there?"
"Yes"
"This is even better than I imagined!" (in gleeful delight)

Got told today, "you're magical!" And, "you're my heroine for the day."

Once earlier it was, "you're an angel" and "you're doll!"

I love when I get told these things!

When you're working at two computer stations and three adjoining monitors and keep dragging the mouse pointer from two connected screens to the third not-joined screen expecting it to show up, it can only mean one of three things:
-You're pompously busy.
-You're scatter-brained (or pea-brained as the loving siblings would like to call it). It just doesn't register in your brain to switch from one mouse control to the next to operate the two systems separately.
-You're pompously busy and incorrigibly pea-brained - that lovely, one-in-a-million combination!

It's interesting to observe how imminent thunderstorms drive people "home." Everyone is in a hurry to get back to the safety of the cocoon they call home before the rains lash out.
Home. And rain. In the evenings. And that lovely atmosphere bathed in golden twilight and soaked in fresh moisture. And garam chai, and balconies with chairs to laze in and gaze out at the world, and hot mirchiyaan-bhajiye to munch on - Pappa and Nanna's favourites.
And also, sitting miles away, in a home away from home on one such beautiful evening taking in the warm rain-drenched sunset and losing yourself in thoughts. Oh, the dil ki kashmokash. Chaahaton ki kashmokash. Chaah ki kashmokash.

It's that cheery, sunny, HUMID time of year - yay! Yay for the sun and brightness and warmth. The humidity though - aaarghhhhh! Wreaking havoc with the hair!

Hey, a girl's got to complain sometimes!

Blessings, Magic and Beauty

  As I lay here in a darkened bedroom with my little fairy sleeping on me, my mind wanders to this time last year and the months that follow...
