Yeah, whatever

Havent been coming to the blog world for quite some time now. So I would like to apologize to the couple of people who MIGHT have missed my blog. I have not been keeping well for a couple of weeks now. Ya know, high fever, body aching it feels it is gonna shatter in 10000000 pieces, then the cold, sore throat and the works. Been fun actually (see the sarcasm dripping, people!)

And I have been shifting apartments. I never realized how much stuff I have. It is so messy.

Also, I have been extremely upset. My two closest people are leaving the city. My sister is graduating and leaving this city next Sunday and my closest friend from college (we have been roomies for the past 4 yrs) is getting transferred to some god forsaken place and she is leaving tomorrow morning. So basically I have been trying hard not to cry like a baby. I can see the days of me eating a tubful of chocolate icecream ALONE coming closer. It will be worse than Valentines Day. Oh god!

So I have been in this "yeah, whatever" mood for quite sometime and I have come to 2 conclusions:

1) This city does NOT suit me, so I NEED to get transferred.
2) I HAVE to get transferred.

Ooh I had a meeting with my Area Director Sales and Marketing and he said I will get transferred in July hopefully, so I am in the process of putting up a calender of 16 weeks on my cupboard and strike out one one day. How exciting is my life!???

Tap Tap Tap! = Shoes and a touch phone

I went to Bombay last week. It has been the most fruitful trip EVER from the time I have shifted out of that city. So I went shopping. I wanted "they-r-in-your-face-and-also-hurts-your-eyes-so-much-they-make-u-wanna-go-blind" coloured shoes. Ya know, the kinds which shine in the sun and are the first things you spot in the midst of a Bombay crowd? So I went from shop to shop to shop on Sunday and did not find ONE single vibrant coloured shoe which fit my feet. Yeah I have big feet which is a boon cuz no one can then borrow my shoes. Ha! But anyway, I went to this one shop wherein to console myself I bought my first ever pair of flats with my own money, babay! (Note: I am not a big flats person). But they r too cool, but as I have to embarrass myself EVERYWHERE, while paying I managed to drop whatever was kept on the counter and when I turned to leave after hurried apologies and "no problems ma'am" and the payment, before I took any step I tripped on the carpet in full view of the already present customers and the ones coming in. So while my friends were busy laughing, I had already made myself scarce from there. I surprisingly managed to remain +ve even after not finding shoes of my liking and ended up with a pair of orange shoes and red shoes.
I needed a business phone or at least a phone through which I could send business cards and stuff. 'cuz the one I had was a 2nd hand one from my YOUNGER brother (isn't it supposed to be the other way round?) which was probably a decade old and this is being said without any exaggeration and/ or hint of sarcasm. To make a call by pressing the green button twice took me 10 mins. So I whined and complained about it as much as I could and ended up with an HTC or probably it was a way of asking me to kindly keep my trap shut. So its this PDA thingy and its with this stylus thingy which means I have to touch the screen and all to make calls and send msgs and information. Its so BLOODY cool!
Yeah so I have been tapping away. (That is with the shoes and the phone. Hence, the title.)
