Yeah its been almost 2 months since I last showed my awesome presence here. But I got shifted to Bombay and being the Shoe Addict I am I bought TWO NEW PAIRS OF SHOES! Yup, u read that right! TWO NEW PAIRS. One was bought because it would have haunted me if I would not have also it was a compensation for a sorry date I had to go through with, and the other one was for work but who the hell cares, eh?! The higher the heel, the better it is. Someone very famously said, "No pain, No gain!" Right back atchya, you flat-loving-ballerinas-sporting women!
Also what has kept me busy is a couple of MORE (I think I should add) embarrassing disasters and a strong notion for a career change. Well the latter was not MY brain wave, t'was my family's. So we were in this car like a happy family and my sister told me, "I don't think you should do an MBA." I was silent before I could muster up an intelligent response like "why?" she gave a very encouraging response, "cuz I can't picture you doing it" My response was just a stare. She continued, "Also, I cant picture you in a corporate world 'cuz you WILL BE thrown out in a couple of days" I was like, "oookkkaaaay" Surprisingly mom also sided with her. She is like we have an idea for you. I gave a very disgruntled what. They said, "Fashion Journalism!" THAT I must say surprised me. It was a thought which has slowly been formulating in my mind and now I am just confused as to how do I go about it. I would love to pursue it. Hell, my life revolves around Vogue and of course writing as you see this blog growing every 3 months or so. It is like it is a crime if some woman worth her shoes is caught wearing a an out of date shoe or something. Yeah I am self obsessed. Right now I am pms-ing so I totally allowed to say what I want, if you dont want to suffer a painful death, you hear me?
I hate mood swings!

Buh-bye email
Nah not from the blog world but from where I work. I got transferred to another hotel of the same chain and so I wrote this below goodbye email. Everyone ESPECIALLY the GM found it funny. Tell me what you think of it (read: good opinions only. Bad 'uns can write their own good bye email to me!) -
Well? Whaddya think?
"Hi guys!
Finally an e-mail wherein I do not have to be very formal. This email might sound a bit cliched but let me start anyway. As you all know (hopefully) that I am getting transferred to "Hotel Name" (you actually think I will give out the name on a public blog? Ever heard of stalkers?) and today is my last day. Well, actually its my “clearance day”.
First of I would like to apologize to anyone to whom I might have been rude to (which is hopefully never) and for my mistakes (which unfortunately are quite a bit).
Second, I would like to thank each and everyone of you for all the support, fun, jokes, parties and of course work which everyone has given me. This has been my first work place ever and to be honest I was not sure when I first joined here. As everyone knows I cribbed and whined and cried on some days but whaddya know? I got attached! It is a bit difficult for me to leave this office and all the friends I have made here. I have learnt a lot here in terms of work and in terms of, well, not work. I do not know what impact I have made here but whatever it is I hope it is good. If not, at least everyone will still talk about me (sigh!)
As you all must have already guessed I have never been very good at this “Archies Gallery” stuff and I would really love to write about everyone here individually but it is going to take time and I have to run to HR. I swear before I leave I will definitely do so.
As they say now a days, “after you accept the Facebook Friends request then you become friends” or something like that. What I am trying to say is you can reach me on Facebook / Orkut / Gtalk / Gmail through meghag20@gmail.com or Skype. You can find my Skype id below in my signature for your kind perusal!!!!! The same has been highlighted in red. (Yeah yeah I realized my signature for the Skype Id is not there. Get the hint!)
Really going to miss this place (sniff!) (I swear on my shoes and back!)
Take care guys!"
Well? Whaddya think?

Experience is the BEST Teacher!
I REALLY think the above quote was made by a person who lived on bad luck to make himself/ herself feel better and to support the other people who survive on bad luck. Now do not get me wrong. I am in NO WAY surrounded by bad luck but it so happens that some incidences in my life (small incidences) make me wonder....... oh and I also learn from them......
1) This happened when I was in school. I had this MAJOR 100% adolescent teenage crush on one of my then close friends. We were pretty thick. I am not the types who makes her friends her brothers. Anyway after a year of being classmates we were shuffled when we graduated to the next class. I still had the major-crush-of-the-year. "Rakhi Day" came and he came running to me in the corridor, "Hey! Where's my rakhi?" FML!
2) I am currently on this major bed rest. NEVER EVER drink any drink while lying down. It goes in your nostrils and in your head and as soon as you get up it comes out rushing from the same spot all over your touch phone. ESPECIALLY something aerated.
3) I have been living in this city for a year. Never has any place given me so many problems. One tip from my side: IF you have never had pimples or boils on your face during those hormonal-changing-extremely-annoying-puberty-introducing-horrible-looking-teenage years, always ALWAYS be prepared to have them during your mentally-stable-good-looking-twenty-something years.
4) Those things really hurt.
5) Never try to show people how strong you are by picking up heavy objects. You just might be on the bed for 3 months after that.
6) Poker straight hair is awesome and causes envy is some people which is good. But do not get them curled and if you do always check in a mirror before flaunting them. It might so happen that within half an hour of curling them they might straighten again and you wouldn't know and would be showing them off to all your extended family for 2 hrs just to get awkward-my-gawd-she-has-finally-lost-it look.
7) NEVER get drunk and try kissing a person whom you have been crushing for a few months thinking he/ she will start seeing stars after you get physical. They will just get up and say no and push you towards some random person.
8) Never attempt a wannabe pole dance when you are drunk thinking it will be funny and not remember it the next day. Chances are before you wake up, the whole world would have seen it 'cuz your friend thought it will be funny to click a snap of you at that moment.
9) ALWAYS be prepared for good looking people in the places you least expect to find them ESPECIALLY when they are in an elevator and you want to get into it. The doors will close with you being sandwiched in between and trying to make this really uncool wriggle to get out before you are squeezed to death.
10) Never ever get close to flame. When you hear that sizzling sound it means your hair is getting cooked.
Yes my dear students, these are some of the things I have learnt in my 20 something years f existence on Earth. Would love to gain knowledge from yours!!!!!

Boring and badly put..........
......my life that is. Yeah I was pondering over as to what my life is and I realized I sooo need to get one.
First of, my apologies to the "couple" of readers of my blog. I haven't visited this world in a long, loooooooooooong time.
So back to my "philosophies". I am again on bed rest. Everyone thinks I am so lucky and that I just chill and sleep. Trust me its not THAT great for the following reasons:
1) Since it concerns my back, I cannot even THINK of wearing anything above 0 inches. And if you know I practically live in my sky high stilettos.
2) I can only read so much, surf so much and sleep so much that I got nothing to do. There is ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY nothing to eat and the T.V. is kinda broken down. So I try counting the cracks on the ceiling and look for any lizards that I might want to clobber.
3) Speaking of reading I have started simply hating the books I read. I mean why does there have to be a love story or a romance blossoming in every godforsaken book I read? I feel so worthless. I should try reading murder mysteries but then again even they have the stupid romance between the main guy and his extremely-hawt-drop-dead-gorgeous-should-not-be-alive sidekick. And then they have these snidey remarks about each other and then bam! Guess what? They are at the altar professing their love, the mystery gets solved and everyone is teary eyed saying how beautiful these endings are! Sigh! Pretty, ain't it? Yuck! I should probably read something like "World's most wanted Serial Killers" or "Organizational Behaviour". I am pretty damn sure and give you writing in blurd (blood) that they do NOT have any love story blossoming within them! (FYI people: I HATE Mills and Boons EVEN when my love life was blossoming. The books are just plain sad and not in an emotional kind of way).
4) Its 04:10 am. What more explanations do you want?

Lygophobia
Yeah it apparently means irrational fear of dark. I do not have it but I do get scared of the dark. And guess what? While watching the movie "The Woods" (of all the movies on this goddamit planet) the lights went off. And why? 'cuz some two tiny-minuscule-invisible-to-the-naked-eye-wont-even-hurt-an-amoeba rain drops fell. How stupid. I mean SERIOUSLY how stupid! Anyway, so here I am writing this blog hunting for the keys in the dim laptop light (its dim not 'cuz laptop sucks 'cuz I had to reduce the power, duh!) and also 'cuz I felt like writing something. It is NOT supposed to rain 'cuz its bloody humid and getting so with every passing nano second.
Yeah darkness and humidity make me cynical.
I need a chocolate. (not 'cuz I am addicted to it, I am not I swear! But 'cuz it will melt in the fridge u see.)

Shopping = Gym
Yup, all the shopaholics out there would like to agree that shopping and gymming are very similar. Both involve toning of legs, both involve picking up heavy objects, both involve hours of work. And ultimately both end up making you feel sexy and AWESOME!!!!! So I am a shopaholic who has joined the gym. But this city has nothing where I can go and shop so I have (sigh!) joined a gym (yawn). Hence no time at al to come to the blog world an write my words of wisdom. Saw Confessions of a Shopaholic yesterday. Read the book ages ago! I loved the movie but like the book. But hey as Crossword says, "Never judge a book by its movie". But somehow I ended up liking the movie too. The movie is just me!!!!!!!! Except the debt part. That has GOT to suck. So I have no credit card on me as I am from the hospitality industry which intends to pay negligible to all the management trainees.
I will definitely come back with something more interesting.
