It is time to update. Real life has been vaguely hectic, and I didn’t have the energy to write anything thoughtful or interesting, but now that people are actually asking me for an update, I suppose I must.
I was in Mumbai last weekend and met People I Like, Adi, and called other people who I didn’t have time to see. Did you know that calling someone you haven’t talked to for months and hearing them sound genuinely thrilled to hear you is the best thing in the world? If the city wasn't so strengthsappingly humid I would like it a lot better.
I really haven’t been in the mood for serious updates. Luckily, I have been tagged by Megha to do this meme. So here goes.
I am thinking about ..
..looking for one of my library books. I should go to the library today
I said ..…
”there’s something in the woodshed”
I want to ..
…bake cookies.
I wish ..
..yellow clothes didn’t make my skin look vaguely green.
I miss ..
…being fifteen.
I hear ..
I don’t. My computer speakers are out and I have been reduced to digging through piles of old CDs.
I wonder ..
How many people who read this blog secretly think I’m young and silly
I regret ..
1998-2000
I am ..
…now a size XL, according to most shop attendants.
I dance ..
…only when placed forcibly on a bed of burning coals.
I sing ..
songs by The Smiths, operatically. Thanks to Isheeta. I am awful.
I cry ..
..at movies that I later mock.
I am not always ..
rational
I make with my hands ..
a mess.
I write ..
but everyone wishes I hadn’t.
I confuse ..
Everyone.
I need ..
adulation
I should try..
..on second thoughts, no. I shouldn’t.
I finish ..
races without being particularly tired, since I didn’t put much effort into it anyway.
I must now tag people. Supriya, Isheeta, Adi, and anyone else who wants to.

You do not write 'The Smiths' in such close proximity to the word 'awful'!
*adulates, in a properly adult way*
Everyone wishes you didn't, not hadn't. And that's such a lie, of course no one wishes you hadn't.
* beam*
Young and silly, acted as a trigger didn't it? Just the way you thought it might.
*gives adulation*
ok, since the 'adulation' part is done how about paying me back in omelettes?
*bambi eyes*
Hey, you miss being fifteen! Funny I miss being 20, 21 or 22 at times:).
When I was 15, I missed being 10! That's the way life is..even though that past phase of life might have had its own hardships, nostalgia makes it seem like a fluffy dream.
Enjoy being a college student - believe me you will look back at these days with fondness!
By the way, it would be interesting to know what you thought of Mumbai. I am a former Mumbaiite so you know, curiosity speaks:).
hamlet beat me to it. I was going to ask whether you thought singing songs by The Smiths was awful or whether your singing was awful. If its the former then I shall depart, never to return.
Isheeta - But I placed myself between those two words.
*adulates back*
Sups - I am being self-pitying. Please to not insult my grammar.
Mithun - You have destroyed me!
Megha - Visit, and unlimited omelettes shall follow!
Lakshmi - Mumbai was HUMID. And I feel very ancient and jaded right now, I'm afraid.
Abhimanyu -Songs by The Smiths are wonderful and do not deserve the kind of beating they take by being subject to my voice. Imagine, if you will, Heaven knows I'm miserable now a few octaves too high and in a slightly quavery voice.
The color yellow makes me look like I have jaundice and need to go to the hospital right away. And yellow is my favorite color.
Megha :TAG UR IT (evil smile)!, thats a good megha imitation i think heh..GOD SAVE ME!!
