Have you seen a stressed bride lately?

Do give her a slap and tell her to enjoy her wedding before it’s D-day.
No. Really. Do it. You might get a box in return, but by next year she will probably tell you how right you were and thank you for it. Well, not really. But it’s good to think positive. Works wonders for [...]

Mamma Mia! I got the ‘Giving Away’ Song.

What do you when you come across a movie that gives you a delightful glow all over and makes you grin from start to finish?
Well, you go right ahead and grin with complete and utter abandon and savor the warm buttery feeling. That’s what you do.
You enjoy it without a thought for anything else going [...]

The Strange Words in my Mind

10th June 2009
12.25 am Bahrain Time
It bothers me at times, how the strangest things have a way finding me in my corner of the planet. There I go lost in the maze I call my mind, not a care in the world and half the time unaware of what’s happening around me (yes, no accidents [...]

The One Ring.

10th June ‘09
11.48 pm Bahrain Time
Something unexpected happened today.
I found the One Ring.
In a little nondescript jewellery shop, tucked away untidily between a big jewellery shop and a bigger jewellery showroom. The shop was so tiny that I have already forgotten its name.
All I can remember is the little band of yellow gold with a [...]

The Perfect Ring. Again.

Yes, there was a post out here yesterday.
For reason’s beyond your’s or mine ken, this particular plan has been exterminated. So shoo on, the show is over for now.

Of Charming Teachers and Charming them…

6th June 2009
1.36pm (Bahrian time)
It’s an empty house I have come home to today. The sunlight is swishing in through the French windows this afternoon, unlike it’s angry barge a few days back.
For some reason, I am experiencing more fascinating things in the morning than in the evening out here in Bahrain.
This can be rather [...]

Charming Encounters of the Arabic Kind

4th June 2009
1.55pm
Naseer was the first Bahraini to speak with me.
On the street, with half dozen eggs in his hand and a sweet smile on his face (that reminded me of my little cousin Aaron).
As I stepped out of an optical store, a bit dejected at my seventh failed attempt at finding the right glasses [...]

Phyre takes Flight

June 2, 2009.
3:40pm IST.
As I pen this down, I am hurtling through a blue sky in a absolutely magical ride at around 940kms/hour. All I can see around me is a white haze. All I can see below me are fluffy white clouds. Clouds one could very well imagine to be goose down, whipped cream, [...]

A Night made for Sylvia Plath

Mad Girl’s Love Song:
“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I dreamed that you bewitched me [...]

Of Dreams & Roses

This has been a long hiatus from ‘Plan “W”‘ for me.
A few short weeks wherein I left behind an entire office, found a new group of friends, cherished my best friends all the more, met some interesting people, started off sparkling conversations with nearly everyone I met and most of all, started being *social* for [...]
