Thoughts and bread (Warm, freshly baked, and whole wheat.)

  1. People look at a girl in a short-skirt longer than at a girl in shorts.
  2. Places that are known for cheap booze will always serve batter-fried appetizers. Not too many hors-d’ouvres will be sautéed or braised or steamed.
  3. Spelling mistakes in menus indicate unclean drinking water.
  4. Spelling mistakes on toilet doors indicate management with very strong patriarchal background. (I went to a restaurant in Lonavla where one door said ‘Men’ and another said ‘Laddies’. Women were perhaps expected to go in the garden.)
  5. Alarm clocks work better than alarms in mobiles.
  6. If there is nothing good on T.V., it must be a weekend.
  7. Smokers don’t giggle.
  8. People who eat only egg whites with a tea-spoon are bad swimmers.
  9. Women who use ‘lotions’ instead of ‘creams’ tend to be mothers of sons and are more judgmental of other women.
  10. Men who bob their heads for no reason while having Coke wish they were women.
  11. Most people working in ‘Barista’ don’t know what it means. (They also don’t know the meanings of the following words/phrases: ‘Please’, ‘Thank You’, ‘Sorry, I did not mean to make you feel like an imbecile parrot because you want your coffee sweet.’, ‘We charge EXTRA for the chocolate sauce I am currently offering you like a friendly pat on the shoulder.’)
  12. Salads with descriptions that have ‘-esque’ in them come in very, very small portions.
  13. What is wrong with spandex?
  14. Khadi silk makes nice cushion covers.
  15. Sprouts grown in baby shoes look very kitschy and adorable.
  16. Scowling people always have change.
  17. Jobs are easy to find when you are not looking for one.
  18. Just because something is public doesn’t mean it is honest. Namely opinions.
  19. Small dogs are mean and want to see me run over. Large dogs are more amicable. Medium-sized dogs are just small dogs, only a little bigger. (They ARE NOT large dogs, only a little smaller.) Therefore, if I am run over, they, like the small dogs, will be happy.
  20. Hot dogs are tasty.
  21. People who talk about ‘Dijon’ mustard are show-offs. They don’t know about any other kind of mustard.
  22. Is there any kind of mustard?
  23. I have a nice thumb. I shall paint it mauve. The whole thumb.
  24. I have some cute ideas. Like a search engine for babies. It will be called ‘Gurgle’.
  25. My ideas may never spin money.

    I don’t even like bread.

Short-skirts... ;-)

Barista charges Xtra for choco sauce? Bummer! Didn't know that. How mean.

small-medium-large and hot dogs. *lol*

I have heard of "gargle" for smokers before and google already has froogle.

spandex makes for great maternity wear is properly blended with cotton (lycra). Otherwise it is just too synthetic to touch. Is there something wrong with spandex?

I prefer bread with italian herbs and cheese. Makes for one great chicken teriyaki sub.

hahahahah!My personal fav laddies:) and I totally agree on the small dogs and uppity salad theory. Though how the heck did you hit upon women who use lotions will be judgemental-mothers of mighty sons/eggwhite eaters are bad swimmers..;)

i think spelling mistakes on women's toilet doors reflects a strong patriarchial bkgrnd..

think of a toilet door saying 'Mean' instead of 'Men'.. that has to come to come from a matriarch :p

and its not true that smokers dont giggle..

This is from a 76 yr old lady, and you are funny! I don't know how I got in this site as I was just looking for the correct spelling of "hors d'ouvres". I just might come back some day when I'm not so busy!

First Impressions: How to Get Away with Murder (Netflix)

 I love courtroom dramas.  I love non-linear storytelling. I love thrillers. I love tender love stories that embellish such series of grit, grime, and blood. This series delivers on all counts, dips somewhat after a couple of seasons, gets uneven and predictable (when it is less courtroom and more drama) and then finishes strong. The series centers around Annalise Keating who is a fierce, black criminal lawyer who also teaches a class in criminal law (which she calls 'How to Get Away with Murder'). As a teaching methodology, she gets her class to weigh in on her live cases. Part of her strategy also involves picking a handful of promising students and have them work in her 'lab' where they get to help her in strenuous arguments and civil suits, etc. The plot thickens, a murder happens, people get involved, incriminated, incarcerated, and dead. I found a couple of characters in this cast to be really unlikeable - Michaela, Laurel, and Bonnie. After the first couple of se

That kind of a day, that kind of a thought

 It was Eid and Ekadashi today. Thus far, I have managed to keep the fast for Ekadashi. But we still have 2 hours to go so...let's see. I had this urge to go to a temple. There is a small one near my house. Today it was filled with people singing keertans. So I went to the  Iskcon. I like the temple. It's so big and bustling. It's organised and musical.  But today was very crowded. Usually I go to temples and do a quick pranaam without offering flowers or fruits. But I felt like buying a thali. I got one with some fruits, tulsi leaves and a single marigold flower that lay there like a fully energized petaled sun. There was a long queue and I was already feeling stressed in the pit of my stomach. But the line kept moving and just like that, I had my darshan and I got done.  I came out and thought of getting a flower for the pooja room in my home. I bought a lotus. The florist fluffed out the petals and it looked like a sweet little bird.  I caught an auto back and as is my n

A very bad mood

 I have been trying to sleep for a while but have not been able to. I am in a very bad mood. Turns out I am very averse to change. Things are crap.  Deep breaths are not helping. I am feeling very trapped. The anger and irritation is quite intense. Let me take a few moments to just quietly watch myself.  Works
