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 [...]

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 [...]

Something Old, Something New & a Bride less Confused

A long time ago, when weddings were magical things that simply happened to all the beautiful big girls in my family, I used to dream about my own.
I used to dream about the day when I would be that beautiful big girl getting married. I used to dream about wearing my mom’s wedding gown and [...]

Dedications, Words & Their Worth

Another wedding invite made its way to my doorstep today, and guess what? It really was just another wedding card.
Not many people get married in the summer out here, owing to the humidity and heat. Whenever someone does tie the knot during such an extreme part of the year, you would expect them to make [...]

The Perfect Proposal. Is there really such a thing?

Everyday as I pass by the under-refurbishment Spykar outlet near where I work, I can’t help but spend at least 5 seconds of my time staring at this utterly captivating advertisement: 

Yes, the models are painfully rangy and the style of proposal is completely not what most catlics would consider appropriate, but dang it! Does a [...]

Sping Cleaning Treasure Trove

…while I was indulging in some Spring Cleaning in the house.
From symbols of a new life to tokens of a new phase of life, it’s a lovely circle… and how fitting for me to find this trove of love on a lovely spring day.
